Referring to this? https://relix.com/blogs/detail/happy_birthday_to_paul_mccartney_undercover_deadhead/ Also, lol: quote:Interestingly, for all of their overlap Weir and Macca didn’t share the stage until a 2016 show at Boston’s Fenway Park.

An ironic Bruce Hornsby?

I got so deep into the Dead this year. I was listening to so many complete shows that I decided to start a spreadsheet to keep track. So far 77, 72 & 71 are my favourite years.

Lampsacus posted:Oo, thank you for this! It may sound strange but I have been getting into the Grateful Dead top down. As in, they have all these axillary elements. Blogs, many sets, personalities. Etc. The music itself is well within my circle of "drat good music in itself", but there is such a giant volume of musicians/bands in that circle so I don't feel too weird delving into the dead for other reasons then the music being good. Anyway, it might sound a bit forced or... Pretentious? But anyway! My favorite way to learn about the Dead as opposed to just listening is to pick one song or suite of songs and listen to a bunch of different versions throughout the years. Once I started doing that, the way I experience them changed in a big way. Depending on how you process information, it really opens up how you can understand the musicians individually. I’ve got a buddy who was into Europe 72 and that was pretty much it until I started just sending him a different version of Shakedown Street every other day for a few weeks and now he’s starting to dive deep and send me stuff I’ve never heard. It still astonishes me at times how interesting the Dead is. They put out such an incredible volume of music for everyone to hear and had these huge episodes of creativity and innovation that truly made them the quintessential American Band and a really important force in the progression of modern music.

They also had periods where they were sort of a ho-hum San Fran psych rock band, and periods where they were a pretty competent but not groundbreaking country rock band. They were a driving force in acceptance of front men wearing short shorts and/or very large sweat shorts, I’ll give you that. A pioneering shorts band. And spending a long time tuning up between songs. They did that better than anyone.

Since I brought this back to life for a few, please entertain my idle curiosity. For you lot, what's the ratio of live shows versus studio records that you usually listen to? I have Aoxomoxoa and Workingman's Dead on vinyl and I'll spin those every so often on a Sunday afternoon but I 99% of the time I gravitate to the live sets I've found that really hit for me. Typically that's the peak 70's era, and I usually top out around '78 with that Winterland show. Even that starts to grate toward the end. I have yet to venture into the 80's. Do you hit the studio catalog on the regular, or is it just the live shows that you find to your liking that you keep bookmarked? I made a Pandora station that had Grateful Dead in the algorithm and it feeds me a healthy mix of live dead, studio dead, and Jerry Garcia. The Garcia solo stuff I can take or leave (but holy poo poo he did "box of rain" a LOT) but the studio dead is just kinda there for me, especially the late era stuff. There is a Garcia/Merle Saunders live thing that I absolutely love, but that's it. Pointers or suggestions? Good entry point for 80's dead?

Any more, I only listen to live stuff (including Europe 72 and Steal Your Face albums) with the exception of Terrapin Station on vinyl and Blues for Allah. Studio stuff just doesn’t really do it for me now. I’m only partly embarrassed to say I’ve listened to more Billy Strings doing Dead stuff than actual Dead in the past couple months.

I’ve posted a bunch of his stuff in this thread and in the country music thread recently, so if you search my posts you’ll come across a bit of live stuff. His latest album is great but youtube has got a lot of live shows.

HenryJLittlefinger posted:I have been playing these nonstop for the past couple days: Here's some playlists of Billy doing dead stuff from upthread a bit. Thanks for sharing btw OP, those were great listens. I'm mainly listening to whatever the XM Dead station is playing if I'm in my car and at home I'll often find a random full show video on YouTube and throw it on the TV while I'm doing whatever around the house. While the eras of the band are certainly distinct I like it all. I probably like the 70's sound the best but there were some really fun covers they did with Brent singing further into the eighties like Dear Mr Fantasy and Hey Pocky Way that I love.

hatelull posted:Since I brought this back to life for a few, please entertain my idle curiosity. I’d guess I listen to live stuff about 2-3x more often than studio. Mostly dick’s picks from the 60s til ~78, every now and then an 80s show, almost never a 90s show. I like some or all of their albums from the 70s, and also like their s/t a lot. JGB has some great shows, I think the “after midnight” Kean college show is a good entry point. Always love to hear JGB do some jimmy Cliff covers and also catfish John Also a big fan of Jerry’s various acoustic side projects, like JGAB and Old and in the way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xQD_GDU8s0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsLcqfDG2KE

Hell yeah, Jerry’s folk and bluegrass stuff is great. I’m partial to anything involving Grisman. Them two had a chemistry.

That sounds like a fun as hell idea. hatelull posted:Since I brought this back to life for a few, please entertain my idle curiosity. The best area of Grateful Dead music is from 1965 - 1995.  I personally listen to mostly the live stuff now. Years ago when I first listened to the studio albums I was overwhelmed with the whole live catalog and didn't really pursue listening to it (wasn't in the right headspace too). Lately when I'm listening solo I stick to the officially released stuff since there's so much of it that I haven't heard. If I'm looking more for the visual experience I watch one of the great video remasters done by Christopher Hazard on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/c/ChristopherHazard I'm also part of a small discord community that has listen parties together three nights a week. The party host picks a show on archive.org and we sync listen to it. Its a fun way to get some neat insights into unique shows and all sorts of random knowledge from the old heads willing to share. Anyone can PM me for more info if it's something you're interested in.

Occasionally I'll run though the albums but if I want to hear a song most of the definitive versions are live anyway.

I listened to American beauty last week and it’s very nice. Also, the absolute best help/slip/Franklins is the studio version. It’s usually sloppy one way or another live.
