His words still glow with the gold of sunshine. His tunes still play on the harp unstrung. Thanks for all the music. We miss you, Jerry. Bill, tgo | ||

Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track..... Jerry's guitar playing had and continues to have the most influence of anyone on my own technique. His vibe lives on! | ||

Even the Wall Street Journal (the voice of the capitalist establishment of the U.S., for you non-U.S. folks) acknowledges the anniversary of Jerry's death. This image:  May well be the first time Jerry has appeared on the WSJ editorial page. The article isn't about him; it's about Netscape's initial public offering. The implication is that the opening price caused Jerry's heart attack. The article begins...
Now that may seem tacky, but.... I like to think a WSJ writer wanted to figure out a way to pay his own tribute. | ||

Slightly off topic but I bought the "Ibanez the untold story" book two weeks ago and it had some funny Tibits on the Relationship between The Dead and the Ibanez company. Bob Weir became an Ibanez endorser and the company also wanted to have Jerry in their ranks so they made him a prototype guitar based on the Musician series with his name at the twelveth fret. Unfortunately in the Japanese Language the letter R and the Letter L are interchangable so the Japanese workers who made the guitar inlayed it with "Jelly Garcia" Despite that amusing little blunder Garcia happily recieved the custom guitar but didn't really use it much, remaining faithful to his Dog ear shaped custom guitars and instead used Ibanez amplification and Stompboxes out of the endorsement deal.  Jerry using the "Jelly" | ||

Also slightly off topic, I put Live Dead on the turntable last night and aside from some Maudlin thoughts, I couldn't get over how well Phils' Bass was recorded. It's especially good on 'Lovelight'. Graeme | ||

That's because it was recorded by Ron and Susan Wickersham. While I prefer analogue to digital (I'll never give up my vinyl), the remastered "Live Dead" CD is quite good. The piece de resistance has yet to come though: the Dead is finally releasing the ENTIRE '69 Filmore West run that the "Live Dead" album was culled from. We'll get to hear Ron's (et al) documentation of what could arguably be the Dead's finest run in it's entirety, warts and all. Ck my link (below) from my thread on this topic in the "miscellaneous" section of the club site. http://alembic.com/club/messages/449/20040.html?1122684628 I still maintain that "Live Dead" is the commercial release that comes closest to the real thing. While the is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert, Ron's work is as close as it gets...and it's got Pig Pen too, LOL! Cheers, Kevin | ||

On yet another bit of a tangent, this is one of my favorite Dead/music-related websites (just in case some of you haven't seen it - it's WAY better than gdlive or nugs.net): http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree&cat=Grateful%20Dead Check out the stuff from other artists too, there are tons of gems... and from tape-friendly bands.

ditto the Live Dead comment..... Europe 72 is another good one, although there are overdubs in some places, I still think it probably one of the top 5 live albums around....I have a copy of that one on the shows that came from, and it is simply amazing.. Phils bass sounds amazing on that one... sigh....too bad its all over... | ||

IIRC, all of the vocals on Europe 72 were done in the studio, so it is really a half-live album. Still great though. I'm another Live/Dead fan. The closest to the concert experience. Skullf**k, a.k.a. the Skull & Roses album, is also pretty good. Bill, tgo | ||

SF (S&R)is a great album, but the sound is not up to snuff. More Pig Pen though! | ||

I don't know about the sound not being "up to snuff". Snuff was one of the few substances I never used at a Dead show. hehehehe Bill, tgo | ||
