Shazam is real bad about identifying this kind of stuff. I've definitely pulled up some wildly incorrect results before.

Jeff: ha, no hate for GD, only mildly annoyed at times. The show was in Minneapolis with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and the sound was pretty terrible, esp for the Dead for whatever reason

And Jeff, you are one of the esteemed few who can be my Dead selector any time, my friend
Avatar 1:21am
gregorianpants:

Went with the whole family to see Hornsby and the noisemakers at the Biltmore outside Asheville probably nearly 15(?) years ago now. Quite good. He rocked the obligatory hits "Way It Is" and "Mandolin Rain" seguing into "Black Muddy River". Don't remember much else from that other than a bunch of bats flying out of one of the old estate buildings right as the sun set and putting on a little show a few hundred feet up, very cool sight
Avatar 1:21am
Jeff Conklin:

Right on, Scuttle! Not throwing shade just never heard anyone say theyre folks took them to DSO. Very cool....
Avatar 1:24am
Jeff Conklin:

I've been on a deep post-Brent kick with the Hornsby era and I gotta say there's so much good playing here in this zone...

That excellent first set lulled me into a quiet calm and I'm just now realizing that I've been listening to the Grateful Dead, who I must admit are playing in my personal after life hell. But in this context, I'm handling it well LOL. Good show Jeff. Enjoying it very much.

Scuttle:

Gotta say for all who knock the Dead..
It was a pretty seamless transition for me from jammier stuff to Kraut to jazz etc..
They’re a perfect bridging band, super formative

all the world is a narrow bridge

GD haters are an extreme minority here. What I don't understand is why tune in to this show and login to complain about it?

Not talking about Kelly, she’s been hoodwinked and is liking it :)

Kelly Jones:

I honestly CAN NOT believe I am listening to this... AND LIKING IT! Now I have to find a new band to play in my 7th ring of hell. That's WFMU for ya. I once bought a Elton John LP at the Spring Record Fair because the late, great William Berger opened with Burn Down the Mission and it literally changed my life. Don't tell ANYONE my shame-y music secrets!
  1:49am
Jeff Conklin:

Wm loved the Dead ;)
Avatar 1:50am
gregorianpants:

tho much of the hate comes from the 80s era "Touch" fanbase, or rather the most prominent ones: east coast yuppie Ivy leaguers pretending to be hippies or literal burnouts. The most irritating parts of the Dead fandom are the source of most of the hate. Many a punk rocker or hipster record store clerk have shat on them just to seem cool and be a contrarian to the dinosaur stadium rock behemoth that was the final years of the Dead (in many people's eyes).
Avatar 1:52am
Jeff Conklin:

@gregorian: that's true but that shit IS OVER. the music can now be presented without any of those bullshit trappings imho
Avatar 1:55am
gregorianpants:

Agreed, but it is the nature of people to be stubborn. Particularly the snobbish among us. I myself am guilty of that.

So it goes...

rw:

What do we think of the keyboards on this? Seems cool sometimes and goofy at others to me. I don't know shit about GD. Mostly just what I hear on this show.
Avatar 1:57am
gregorianpants:

Very uh... of its time
Avatar 2:00am
gregorianpants:

The sonics of many 80s and 90s shows have been a bit of a deterrance to me. I like cheesy MIDI and I like the Dead, but it's a bit chocolate on salmon for me at times. Good things on their own that don't always work well together.

Ryley's band was tight last tour. Like a jammier Tortoise or some other 90s Chicago post-rock outfit.
And that banter...

@gregorian: Yeah, that last tour may have been his best. Always looking forward to whats next with him...

Diezel Tea:

About GD, I wasn't complaining, just making a joke. They're personally not my cup of tea, but the bulk of this show is right up my alley. Can only speak for myself regarding comments here. If anything, be happy that people are staying tuned in even through passages that don't resonate with them, homie))
