Stephen , I agree ;"I actually think it's some of the best playing by Pat and Jaco too" This is wonderful ! I have heard it many times I have a DVD , a CD ; Jaco was really great with this band lineup . ( but then i can't find anything that he played where he was not ) | ||

I haven't listened to Joni Mitchell in some time and that set reminded me of the fact that she makes great bedroom music; seriously, you could spend all day naked with a significant other in and out of bed and Joni could be the soundtrack...Tony | ||

Finally watched the Hot Tuna Rock Palace show. Best footage of #1 I've ever seen! The audience was groovin'! What a tone from Casady. Has anyone had any luck replicating that sound without a Versatone amp? | ||
| sonicus
Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 3775 Registered: 5-2009 |
Hello Rob , That tone is wonderful , I agree 1000%. I have experimented with a stack of similar speakers and power amps . ALEMBIC Series II Bass strung with Pyramid Gold strings - Alembic IN-2 -SF-1 Superfilter- Alembic F2B preamp -Yamaha P2200 power amp X 2 - 4 Alembic A15 type cabinets with Gauss 4580's -1 Alembic B12 type cabinet W/ JBL K120's - I Alembic A18 with 18' Gauss. The above produced "Sweet Thunder " however the slightly overdriven top end was missing that was INDEED PRODUCED FROM THE VERSATONE AMP ! ---- I know someone who had a pristine old one in perfect shape for sale, But those things did not have the build quality that I would expect for what the asking price was . I know someone that has a schematic for those. I think I know what is inside . There would be another way to get their effect if I really wanted my top end overdriven. Bi amp a mono feed and send highs to an amp to over drive the highs a bit and a few small speakers - 12's or 10's. ____ Experiment are fun . | ||

Tone Poems by David Grisman and Tony Rice. Learning a few tunes off this incredible work for the new bluegrass project with which I'm involved. Finding it hard to stay on task at practice though because I'm getting so caught up in listening to the beautiful guitar and mandolin work. | ||

Hot Tuna, full concert, 6/24/11- Wolfgang's Vault. Nice acoustic gig with good audio and video, with interview afterwards. Recorded right at Wolfgang's Vault in San Francisco. This may seem like a foolish question to the more senior members here, but are you connected to that, Wolf? Just curious... | ||

HI Rob , Questions are a positive inclination for the truth ! That is all good brother . I was once an employee of Mr. Bill Graham (Concert promoter) in the late 1970's to early 1980's . I do not have any affiliation with " Wolfgang's Vault" other then being on their email list . Sonic Regards , Wolf | ||

Meat Puppets 'Lollipop' and 'Sewn Together', I am loving the newer Meat puppets albums; some of their best music, although 'Monsters' has some of my fave solos...anyway, good music to listen to while I do jewelry work; especially stone setting, which can be silly amounts of stress (stones crack or pop out of the setting for no reason, just to send you crawling on the floor to find them...fun!)...Tony | ||

I was at both shows at Alpine in '82 (amazing!), and a few months later saw the sun rise during their show at the Jamaica World Music Fest. If I recall, they played from sometime after 4AM until about 7AM. Looks like I'll be dipping into my archive of 80s Dead shows. | ||

This time of year always makes me think of people who've gone home. I'd forgotten about this, and happened to think of it the other day. Two legends from Mississippi who made good, and another reminder that great singers and musicians can do justice in situations we might not ordinarily imagine them, and that they do listen to other artists and other things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAA_LUCb0QE The affection is obvious. For the 'who played what', read-the-back-jacket types like me: Don Was, producing Kenny Aranoff, drums Willie Weeks, bass the late Barry Beckett (from Muscle Shoals) on piano Reggie Young, guitar . . . and the other cats I'm afraid I don't know.

But then again . . . . . Robert always had a big man-crush on Elvis, and this Honey Drippers track with Beck AND Page-y is absolute, incontrovertible, undeniable truth that 'it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing', a sadly lacking aspect of groove in this digitized and quantized world. Sample Rates can't Swing ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vRUnT-TeRg Can't help myself, it's just way more fun than 'Immigrant Song'. I'm trying to imagine Vikings doing the jitterbug in the land of ice and snow . . . . . Joey | ||

Dave , I am Glad you like it. An aspect of what I like about this incarnation of the JGB is the line up of Musicians ( yes , with a capital M ).Nicky Hopkins piano work is steller in my opinion in this genre, I always liked what he played . Ron Tutt on Drums and John Kahn on Bass paved that grooooooooovy road for Jerry and Nicky to lay their musical reflections down in a very unique way that was the JGB in essennce and roots . | ||

Groovy in the extreme! I once heard an interview in which Jerry said "[Weir's] playing provides the only context in which my playing really makes any sense.", but I've always thought he was sorta OK in this context, too......... In re: Mr. Hopkins - "Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder". Need I say more?? BTW, I mistyped in my post 1807 above; it should say 8-8-82 (the 22 stuck in my mind because 6-22-85 was the show I took my 6-week-old youngest son to; yeah, he grew up hip & mellow) Peter (who'll spend today with Car Talk, Wait Wait don't Tell Me, This American Life, and Prairie Home Companion | ||

Just received Joni Mitchell's 'through yellow Curtains'. Recorded live at the Second fret in Philadelphia between 1966 and 1968 they are probably the earliest decent recordings of Joni before she made it big. Her singing voice is incredible as you'd expect but what makes the package special are her numerous anecdotes. there's a little background tape hiss but it certainly doesn't detract from the performance. If you like Joni, you'll love this recording. Graeme | ||

Various recordings of Dan Tyminski on mandolin, from Lonesome River Band days to present. I've been a closet mandolin player for years, but just got a gig playing mandolin in my Dad's bluegrass band. These guys had played together for years, but their mandolin player was suddenly, and very tragically killed in a logging accident in 2012, and they haven't played much since... anyway, I'm excited about running around playing music with the Ol' Man again, especially with him on bass. | ||
