¿when push comes to shove? joder. sera broma, no?
ya te digo que a la gente que iba a los conciertos en aquel epoca, era la cancion menos deseada. basicamente reemplazaba Dayjob. imaginate llegar al final de un concierto estupendo, esperando al encore. sera Knockin on Heaven's Door? Brokedown Palace? quizas un Quinn the Eskimo? pues, no. When push comes to shove. menudo chafaron.
para mi el mejor cancion era Brother Esau o Black Muddy River. aunque Touch, Throwin and Hell in a Bucket son tambien poderosos. Hasta el Tons of Steel de Brent no me desagrada. el unico otro cancion de ese disco con que compararia Push es West L.A. Fadeaway, que en directo era un poco un aburrimiento.

Bueno, es el disco que definió los 80 para los Dead, no diría que es malo pero sí que la producción ha quedado desfasadísima, en su momento ellos quedaron encantados del resultado. Eso si, en cuanto a canciones va sobrado, varias de ellas además llevaban varios años incluidas en el repertorio y efectivamente suenan mucho mejor en directo. Y es curioso como chocan los puntos de vista de JB Dude, él ve las canciones con una perspectiva distinta, supongo que mas centrada en las letras y su significado. A mi, por ejemplo, me gusta Keep Your Day Job

no me malentendeis.
In The Dark quizas es uno de sus mejores albumes en terminos de consistencia de canciones, no hay relleno con canciones que hubiera sido mejor tirar a la basura o trozos instrumentales que ni viene ni van.
Tons of Steel a mi me gusta, es el mejor cancion que escribio Brent (y la version que Warren hace con Phil LEsh & Friends es increible), pero como casi todas las canciones de Brent no es "dead" 100%, va por otra rama.
(y Day Job, aunque no es de ese disco ni ningun disco de estudio, y contrario al opinion general en aquel epoca, no me desagrada, simplemente mejor escucharlo en el primer set, que aparecer como encore.)
el problema con In The Dark, como bien habeis señalizado, esta en la produccion. tiene quizas el sonido mas "comercial" de todos sus discos y es muy ochenta (aunque por otro lado se puede acusar otros discos de sere muy "sesenta" o muy "setenta"), pero allí tambien esta el arte de los Dead, adapatarse a nuevos sonidos y tecnologias sin abandonar su hilo musical, o mejor dicho, hacer que los nuevos sonidos y tecnologias se adaptan a la musica de los dead. una cosa que mas destaca de ese disco es el uso de efectos de sonido, y con eso no refiero a sonidos raros psicodelicas o mickey grabando el sonido de grillos para Blues For Allah, sino sonidos reales. el motor de un moto o un latigo en Hell In a Bucket, el tren en Tons of Steel o el helicoptero en Brother Esau. no creo que hay ningun disco mas de ellos que incorpora tanto sonidos de ese tipo. por un lado, ese tipo de ambientacion, casi pensado para hacer videos musicales, deja muy patente que es una grabacion de estudio y quita la naturaleza que discos como american beauty tenia (podrian haber estado tocando en tu sala de estar, no en un estudio). pero por otro lado, cuando se usaba estos sonidos en directo (especialmente desde unos altavoces que tenian colgados desde el techo en el parte fondo de los pabellones, detras de la mayoria de gente), flipamos y añadia otro toque al experiencia del directo.
Re: Grateful Dead
A mi es que la epoca con Brent no me termina de convencer, en parte por los sintetizadores y en parte por es sonido de guitarra de Bobby tan limpio. No se, me tira más la epoca setentera de la banda.
Por cierto, no os parece que la voz de Brent y la de Warren Haynes se parecen muchisimo?

no creo que nadie pone en duda que la epoca setentero era el mejor de los dead. un equilibrio entre los jams imaginativos y canciones magnificos. ahora, casi cualquier epoca de los dead mejor que casi cualquier otro grupo.
a nivel personal, como podia experimentar la epoco Brent en directo, es lo que mas asocia con la dead, pero entiendo que hay un perjuicio personal.
tanto Brent y Warren creo intentan a canalizar el voz o el estilo de Greg Allman, con su caracter personal añadido. y sale bien en ambos casos.

- Spoiler:
- When it was first announced that former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh would embark on an extensive tour with Bob Dylan, rock fans were overjoyed. The two artists have crossed paths many times over the years, as Dylan and the Dead shared both a common musical vision and an audience made up of many of the same devoted fans.
This tour was the biggest excursion undertaken by Lesh since his liver transplant provided him with a new lease on life. It covered 17 dates in mostly college arenas, as well as touching down in some of the favorite touring stops that the Grateful Dead enjoyed for so many years. The shows were advertised with both artists receiving equal billing on the posters and advertisements.
Shortly before the tour began, Lesh and Dylan decided that for the sake of the ease of production process and soundchecks, they would agree to a coin toss to determine who would perform first. Lesh, having won the toss, elected to play first at each of the shows. The tour was set; the only thing left to do was to prepare for the road. For Lesh, though, that meant some unexpected detours along the way.
Phil Lesh and Friends decided to do some warm up shows at The Fillmore Auditorium in Denver with Paul Barrere and Billy Payne from Little Feat who were signed on to perform with Lesh on the first leg of the Dylan tour. By all accounts, these shows were a resounding success as the Little Feat members blended perfectly with the hard-jamming sounds of Phil Lesh and Friends.
Although Steve Kimock had always been the cornerstone of previous Phil and Friends shows, the guitarist walked off the tour after the opening performance with Dylan in Champaign, Illinois. Since his abrupt departure, the guitarist has never given a full account of the reasons for bailing, leaving many fans bewildered. That said, Kimock returned to San Francisco on the eve of the biggest showcase of his life.
Also complicating matters was the dismissal of longtime roadies Steve Parish and Ramrod. The reasons for their dismissal appeared to be some old issues between the Dylan and Dead road crews. Lesh addressed this matter on his Website several days later when he posted a message under his pen name, Reddy Kilowatt. “I will not allow old politics and ego to poison what I am striving to do,” he said, “a tour where the only mission is to do our best to honor the music, the musicians, and the community.”
While the loss of such a significant musical partner as Kimock could have spelled doom to a lesser band, the departure actually opened new doors for the bassist as Lesh quickly discovered. Phil Lesh and Friends played its next two dates with Paul Barrere and Billy Payne before guitarist Derek Trucks signed on to the tour in time for a rollicking Halloween show in Chicago, which was the last show on the tour with the Little Feat guys.
Like a young Jedi knight wielding his light saber, Trucks’ soulful, high-soaring, slide-guitar playing added an unheard element in the Phil and Friends sound. Trucks’ arrival came at just the right time as Gov’t Mule guitarist Warren Haynes and Zen Tricksters keyboardist Rob Barraco joined the tour at the next gig, providing what would be the core band for most of the remaining shows on the tour.
While the Internet chat groups debated the current state of affairs with Phil and Friends, I left San Francisco to embark on my first Grateful Dead-related tour since the band’s 20th Anniversary shows back in 1985. The following recounts some of the moments that occurred on the last half of the tour.
After an afternoon exploring our nation’s first capital, I descended on Temple University. Philadelphia is an old city, and this newly constructed venue stands in stark contrast to the surrounding buildings, many of which are over 100 years old. While I don’t make it back east very often, I was greeted by many old friends including Relix publisher, Toni Brown, who is a celebrity in her own right in these parts. While we chatted, many fans came by and gave us their warm wishes. I was heartened to learn that Phil had jammed with Bob Dylan the previous night in Delaware, performing “Friend Of The Devil.” In recent years, Dylan has included the Dead classic in his set.
Proving that the world is indeed a small place, I also ran into Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Adams, who had come out to catch her first sets of Phil and Friends shows. Jerry Garcia’s former wife gave a big thumbs-up to what she had heard the evening before. Throughout the tour, the venues employed a reserved seat policy in the stands, with an open general admission for fans on the floor. Admission to the floor required a wristband, which caused some delays for folks who were trying to make it down to the floor area.
The show’s format had changed a bit since the last Phil and Friends shows at the Warfield Theater. As the house lights remained on, Phil Lesh and the band—drummer John Molo, keyboardist Rob Barraco, and guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes—eased into a jam that increased in volume and energy. As the lights dimmed about five minutes into the beginning jam, Lesh and the guitarists floated like butterflies with some sensitive passages that soon increased in intensity. Trucks and Haynes certainly work well together, and in this context, they were simply awesome. Quoting instrumental passages from “Mountain Jam” and “Blue Sky,” Lesh’s bass always ringing at full throttle, the band embarked on a 25-minute jam before morphing into “Crazy Fingers.” Rob Barraco’s tenure with one of America’s best jam bands, the Zen Tricksters, certainly served him well as his vocals hit the mark. Barraco was playing a Hammond B-3 organ that was previously used by none other than the late Ron “Pigpen” McKernan.
“Unbroken Chain” was greeted like a long-lost friend. Lesh’s voice was met with a thunderous ovation, and the song’s intricate middle section was performed masterfully. Phil and Friends were joined by blues queen Susan Tedeschi for “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” and “Turn On Your Lovelight,” which proved to be the highlight of the show. Tedeschi demonstrated her prowess as a masterful guitarist, adding some fiery guitar licks with Trucks and Haynes.
Dylan, it must be said, is at the top of his game musically these days. His band has also undergone some personnel changes in recent months as guitarist Larry Campbell filled the void left by departing pedal steel guitarist Bucky Baxter. Guitarist Charlie Sexton is now a full-fledged player in Dylan’s top-notch band as well. His show has also undergone some revamping as the legendary rocker performs a first-half acoustic set, followed by an electric set. Some standouts of his set included “The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll,” “Boots Of Spanish Leather” and “Shooting Star.” Instead of playing from a short list of songs, Dylan’s live set list has expanded considerably as he performed rare versions of Porter Wagoner’s “A Satisfied Mind” and Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” the latter featuring a scorching guitar solo by Sexton.
The next evening’s show at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven brought out several “friends” who checked out the show—Phish’s Mike Gordon, Zen Tricksters’ Jeff Mattson and Max Creek’s Scott Murowski. The revamping of Phil and Friends’ show to include a freewheeling opening jam continued to yield much in the way of musical fireworks. Once again, the band performed as an ensemble, not just a collection of soloists, with the group locking into some solid grooves before coalescing into a joyous rendition of “Uncle John’s Band.” During the 90-minute medley, Lesh delivered the first ever East Coast performance of the Grateful Dead classic “Pride Of Cucamonga,” while Warren Haynes was sensational during the Phil and Friends original, “Patchwork Quilt.”
Dylan’s set also produced some powerful musical moments. Opening with the gospel-tinged, Ralph Stanley-penned bluegrass tune, “I Am The Man, Thomas,” Dylan displayed some awesome acoustic power during “My Back Pages,” “John Brown” and “One Too Many Mornings.” The song selection was sensational, as was Dylan’s rock solid rhythm section of bassist Tony Garnier and drummer David Kemper, who was a mainstay of the Jerry Garcia Band. Dylan continued to mine gold, performing stellar versions of “Positively 4th Street,” “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.” During the encore, Lesh came out to join Dylan’s band for a rollicking arrangement of “West LA Fadeway” and “Not Fade Away” to close the evening. Apparently, Dylan’s band had rehearsed several Dead songs in anticipation of performing with the former Dead bassist, and the preparation was rewarded with a razor-sharp rendition.
One of the most anticipated shows of the tour was the November 13 performance at the Continental Airlines Arena, located in the Meadowlands Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This show was long sold-out, attesting to the enormous drawing power of these two world-class artists. The parking lots surrounding the venue were packed with fans early, and it was nice to be back on “Shakedown Street.” The carnival atmosphere was reminiscent of the glory days when the Grateful Dead made this venue a popular stop during its East Coast tours.
Inside the arena, anticipation reached a fever pitch as Lesh and Friends began its show typically with a nearly half-hour jam. Derek Trucks was incredible, and his incendiary slide guitar playing was one of the early highlights of the show. Lesh and Friends’ totally revamped version of Dino Valente’s anthem, “Get Together,” was also a stroke of genius as the song was given a very upbeat, calypso arrangement featuring some relentless poly-rhythms by drummer John Molo.
Warren Haynes delivered a sensational version of the Traffic tune “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” which also displayed the awesome strengths of this band. The die-hard New Jersey crowd exploded in approval from the opening strains of “Cryptical Envelopment” that was only surpassed when Lesh lobbed one of his patented “bombs” during a ferocious “Other One.” The jam that followed included “Days Between” and John Coltrane’s “Blue Train,” before coming back full circle with “Cryptical.” The set-ending “Help On The Way,” “Slipknot” and “Franklin’s Tower” were absolutely thrilling.
As if energized by the exciting set by Lesh, Dylan performed an emotional show that included many of the touchstones of his folk-rock origins. Even though this fiery folksinger was performing before a sold-out throng of 18,000 people, a hush enveloped the arena, making it feel more like an intimate folk club. The crowd reacted to some of the singer/songwriter’s tunes in quiet reverence, and they were rewarded mightily as Dylan delivered a sermon that included “Song To Woody,” “It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and “Visions Of Johanna” with stunning power and clarity.
The electric set was no less impressive as Dylan broke out Muddy Waters’ “Hootchie Cootchie Man,” “Tombstone Blues,” “Joey” and a haunting “Not Dark Yet.” During the set-closing “Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat,” someone from the audience tossed up a leopard print hat, which landed perfectly on Dylan’s microphone. Dylan, who had his back turned when it happened, broke into uncharacteristic laughter when he turned back to sing the song’s final verse. The good vibes continued well into the encore when Dylan was again joined by Lesh for a rousing version of “Alabama Getaway” and “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35.” Dylan, Lesh and Dylan’s bassist, Tony Garnier, stood close together, all grinning ear-to-ear during the tasty jam.
After the show, a party was held at the nearby Sheraton Hotel where guitarist Jeff Mattson and bassist Klyph Black from the Zen Tricksters entertained.
If there was one Phil and Friends show to pick as the best, it would be difficult to exclude the show held November 14 at The Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. From the opening notes of the show’s jam, to the ending strains of “Not Fade Away,” this show hit the high water mark with many. After a long, sinewy jam that explored every nook and cranny of space, the band exploded into the classic “Dark Star,” with Lesh, Haynes and Rob Barraco sharing each of the song’s verses. Trucks and Haynes proved that they are consummate jammers, each taking a new pathway into the uncharted waters of outer space. The jam led into a wonderful arrangement of “Sugaree” that featured some great vocals by Haynes. The jam that followed led into “Cosmic Charlie” and was welcomed enthusiastically by the sold-out arena audience. The group continued in the spacey mode, again reprising “Dark Star,” including the song’s second verse, before again dropping a bomb on the audience with an explosive “St. Stephen” that would not be complete without an equally pyrotechnic “The Eleven Jam.”
Lesh’s joyous celebration was beautifully capped by “Not Fade Away.” Despite the rousing opening set by Phil and Friends, Bob Dylan and his band continued the relentless pace of the show. Beginning with the seldom performed gospel hymn “Somebody Touched Me,” Dylan’s acoustic set included “To Ramona,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall,” which may be as powerful a song as has ever been written. Also featured was “Everything Is Broken,” “Like A Rolling Stone” and a very rare, 15-minute rendition of “Highlands,” that showed a jazzy, poetic side of the rock superstar. Dylan proved again to be a man of many surprises.
The show the next evening at Cornell University’s Barton Hall in Ithaca, New York also yielded a different twist, as Phil and Friends not only included Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, but Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen on guitar. Besides being the smallest venue on the tour, Barton Hall holds many fond memories of what is considered to be one of the greatest Grateful Dead shows of all time, May 8, 1977. The surrounding area also includes such historic Dead venues as Harpur College, the site of another historic show on May 2, 1970, and the Broome Country Arena in nearby Binghamton.
Barton Hall is an ancient place that hasn’t changed a bit since 1977. Because of its historical significance to Deadheads, this show proved to be the toughest ticket with legions of ticket-less Heads, fingers held high, some with $100 bills, searching in vain for that all elusive “miracle ticket.” Adding to the frigid mix of driving snow and bitter cold, the venue had one small doorway through which every person had to enter.
Once inside, the arena contained a spongy surface very conducive for dancing. The security consisted solely of students wearing some snappy-looking Bob Dylan and Phil Lesh and Friends T-shirts, giving the event the air of a psychedelic sock hop.
Despite the fact that the show had been sold-out way in advance, it was barely one-third full by the time Phil and Friends took the stage. Jorma Kaukonen plugged in between Trucks and Barraco, and during the show’s opening jam, was unobtrusive, content to allow Haynes and Trucks to lead the charge. “Eyes Of The World” was serene in its majesty, picking up considerably into a thunderous “Caution Jam” that wove magically into “Mountains Of The Moon.” The hall provided a surreal echo, as the drums and music bounced back toward the stage. Kaukonen finally stepped out during Haynes’ “Soulshine,” delivering a breathtaking guitar solo before diving headfirst into the old Pigpen-era Dead classic, “Mr. Charlie.” The “Cold Rain And Snow” that followed was appropriate, and the interesting jam that ensued drove into “Goin’ Down The Road Feelin’ Bad.” “We Bid You Goodnight” was heartfelt as the room’s acoustics added to the a cappella tune. During the band introductions, Phil acknowledged, “It’s great to be back in a place that has so much historical significance for all of us.” For Trucks, this was his last appearance of the tour, as his own band was scheduled to hit the road.
Bob Dylan continued to seek out some gems from his considerable songbook and favorites, performing a seldom played “Tomorrow Is A Long Time,” “Cat’s In The Well,” “Señor,” “I Want You” and “Money Honey,” a song that had previously never been performed. “Señor” was superb, with Larry Campbell playing a wonderful fiddle solo and Dylan adding some rich, full blasts from his harmonica.
If Cornell University was full of childhood exuberance, the show at Wittemore Center on the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, New Hampshire, was sobering in contrast. The show was delayed for nearly an hour as campus police, assisted by New Hampshire State Police, converged en masse to bust anyone in the parking lot that was vending. The crackdown prevented the doors to the venue from being opened as all the security was focused on the parking lots.
Inside the crowded arena, police waded into the center of the crowded floor to bust possibly hundreds people for smoking illegal substances. Such police action has not been seen in a docile concert setting since the early ‘70s at Nassau Coliseum. Viewing the constant dragging out of fans from the crowd cast an eerie pall on the proceedings as the police, in some cases, brought their handcuffed suspects through the backstage and dressing room areas.
The fans that did manage to see the show were rewarded with a wonderful selection of songs. The opening jam was more conservative in structure than previous shows, but was no less satisfying. Kaukonen and Haynes sparred like old prizefighters as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided a solid launching pad for them to shoot into space. The performance of “Attics Of My Life” was astonishing as Barraco, Lesh and Kaukonen hit their mark vocally on this inspired Grateful Dead classic. The set focused more on the songs than jams as Kaukonen’s version of Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man” and Haynes’ working of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Smokestack Lightning” gave the set a definite blues feel. Also outstanding was Kaukonen’s “Good Shepherd,” which was executed perfectly. The inclusion of “Get Together” was masterful in its newfound execution, and “Blue Sky” featured soaring guitar work by Kaukonen and Haynes that was a marvel to hear.
Dylan’s set also provided more gems as the talented songwriter continued to deal aces from the bottom of the deck. Breaking out another tune—“Duncan And Brady”—to open his portion of the show, Dylan’s “Girl From The North Country” was weepy and potent in its delivery. Peppering his set with such nuggets as “Desolation Row,” “If You See Her, Say Hello” and “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues,” with the seldom performed “Rock Of Ages” and “Down By The Cove,” Dylan revealed that he is an artist at the top of his craft. His band was tight, and his guitar playing was fast and furious. He ended songs on a dime with one backward glance towards drummer David Kemper. Nevertheless, it can be safely said that both the Dylan and Lesh camps were glad that the tour didn’t end in New Hampshire.
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has a well-deserved reputation as being a party school. Renowned in the pages of Playboy Magazine’s annual college review issue, the school is known as “The Zoo.” So it was understood that the show would be a far cry from the previous night’s debacle in New Hampshire.
Phil and Friends rose to the occasion, starting with a sublime jam that featured Kaukonen and Haynes. The ensemble playing was magnificent as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided solid support in workmanlike fashion, really allowing the guitarists to strut their stuff. The jam magically wove into the opening strains of “St. Stephen,” which was met with a deafening roar from the crowd. Haynes’ and Kaukonen’s guitar playing was as frenzied as two pit bulls fighting over a piece of meat, as Lesh’s bass playing shook the foundation of the arena during “The Eleven Jam.” Robbie Robertson’s “Broken Arrow” is another tune in Lesh’s song canon to which the former Dead bassist does justice. Featured on Phil Lesh and Friends’ recent release, Love Will See You Through (Grateful Dead Merchandising), Lesh’s sensitive vocal delivery awakens many emotions, and this performance was no exception.
Besides being a world-class guitarist, Haynes is also a fine vocalist as he displayed during his wonderful rendition of Traffic’s “Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys.” Kaukonen’s participation in this final leg of the Phil and Friends tour was highly anticipated, and the Hot Tuna founder was sensational as he pulled “I Am The Light Of This World” out of his considerable musical bag of songs. His bluesy voice and folksy guitar playing were tasty throughout.
It was hard to believe after the sensational “Scarlet Begonias” and “Franklin’s Tower,” that the tour was coming to an end.
The set by Bob Dylan that followed was one of those truly special musical moments. Dylan began his acoustic portion of the show with the gospel-flavored “Somebody Touched Me,” before preaching the gospel of his legendary songbook of tunes for which he is so well known. He performed “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Boots Of Spanish Leather” and “Tangled Up In Blue” before strapping on his black Fender Stratocaster guitar for electric versions of “Man Of Peace” and “You’re A Big Girl Now.” Dylan then announced to a stunned crowed, “I want to bring out a friend of mine for this next song,” and out from the wings stepped Haynes. The Gov’t Mule guitarist wasted no time in getting down to business, performing a hair-raising version of “All Along The Watchtower,” while Larry Campbell wailed on pedal steel. Dylan appeared to relish his jam with Haynes as the two stood toe-to-toe, each unleashing a volley of guitar solos as the crowd howled in appreciation.
After another rare marathon version of “Highlands,” Dylan brought out Haynes and Kaukonen for “Highway 61 Revisited.” Again, Dylan turned his smiling face to Haynes as the guitarist ripped into an exciting slide guitar solo. After the obligatory encores of “Love Sick” and “Like A Rolling Stone,” Phil Lesh joined Dylan on stage. “It has been an honor and a privilege to be playing with Phil Lesh, and I hope we can do it again,” Dylan announced to the crowd. Lesh joined Dylan for a wonderful acoustic arrangement of “Friend Of The Devil” that featured a trademark harmonica solo from the iconoclastic rocker. With Lesh standing at his side, Dylan then brought Haynes and Kaukonen back out for a rollicking version of “Not Fade Away,” followed by “Alabama Getaway” with the cast of musicians each taking a generous solo while backed by Dylan’s band. After Lesh, Haynes and Kaukonen left the stage, Dylan continued his seven-song encore with thrilling performances of “Blowin’ In The Wind” and “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35,” after which he put on a white cowboy hat and strolled straight to his waiting tour bus.
In what was truly a testament to both artists, Lesh and Dylan undertook what turned out to be one of finest tours of the decade. The stellar musicianship and camaraderie was both real and infectious as was demonstrated by the numerous jams and musical magic that occurred during the performances. There were more than a few misty eyes in both camps after the final note had been played, and the unanimous opinion was that both artists would again share a stage together in the future. This is very welcome news, indeed.

interesante y completo artículo sobre la gira que phil lesh & friends y dylan hicieron en el año 2000...
un poco largo, eso sí...
- Spoiler:
When it was first announced that former Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh would embark on an extensive tour with Bob Dylan, rock fans were overjoyed. The two artists have crossed paths many times over the years, as Dylan and the Dead shared both a common musical vision and an audience made up of many of the same devoted fans.
This tour was the biggest excursion undertaken by Lesh since his liver transplant provided him with a new lease on life. It covered 17 dates in mostly college arenas, as well as touching down in some of the favorite touring stops that the Grateful Dead enjoyed for so many years. The shows were advertised with both artists receiving equal billing on the posters and advertisements.
Shortly before the tour began, Lesh and Dylan decided that for the sake of the ease of production process and soundchecks, they would agree to a coin toss to determine who would perform first. Lesh, having won the toss, elected to play first at each of the shows. The tour was set; the only thing left to do was to prepare for the road. For Lesh, though, that meant some unexpected detours along the way.
Phil Lesh and Friends decided to do some warm up shows at The Fillmore Auditorium in Denver with Paul Barrere and Billy Payne from Little Feat who were signed on to perform with Lesh on the first leg of the Dylan tour. By all accounts, these shows were a resounding success as the Little Feat members blended perfectly with the hard-jamming sounds of Phil Lesh and Friends.
Although Steve Kimock had always been the cornerstone of previous Phil and Friends shows, the guitarist walked off the tour after the opening performance with Dylan in Champaign, Illinois. Since his abrupt departure, the guitarist has never given a full account of the reasons for bailing, leaving many fans bewildered. That said, Kimock returned to San Francisco on the eve of the biggest showcase of his life.
Also complicating matters was the dismissal of longtime roadies Steve Parish and Ramrod. The reasons for their dismissal appeared to be some old issues between the Dylan and Dead road crews. Lesh addressed this matter on his Website several days later when he posted a message under his pen name, Reddy Kilowatt. “I will not allow old politics and ego to poison what I am striving to do,” he said, “a tour where the only mission is to do our best to honor the music, the musicians, and the community.”
While the loss of such a significant musical partner as Kimock could have spelled doom to a lesser band, the departure actually opened new doors for the bassist as Lesh quickly discovered. Phil Lesh and Friends played its next two dates with Paul Barrere and Billy Payne before guitarist Derek Trucks signed on to the tour in time for a rollicking Halloween show in Chicago, which was the last show on the tour with the Little Feat guys.
Like a young Jedi knight wielding his light saber, Trucks’ soulful, high-soaring, slide-guitar playing added an unheard element in the Phil and Friends sound. Trucks’ arrival came at just the right time as Gov’t Mule guitarist Warren Haynes and Zen Tricksters keyboardist Rob Barraco joined the tour at the next gig, providing what would be the core band for most of the remaining shows on the tour.
While the Internet chat groups debated the current state of affairs with Phil and Friends, I left San Francisco to embark on my first Grateful Dead-related tour since the band’s 20th Anniversary shows back in 1985. The following recounts some of the moments that occurred on the last half of the tour.
After an afternoon exploring our nation’s first capital, I descended on Temple University. Philadelphia is an old city, and this newly constructed venue stands in stark contrast to the surrounding buildings, many of which are over 100 years old. While I don’t make it back east very often, I was greeted by many old friends including Relix publisher, Toni Brown, who is a celebrity in her own right in these parts. While we chatted, many fans came by and gave us their warm wishes. I was heartened to learn that Phil had jammed with Bob Dylan the previous night in Delaware, performing “Friend Of The Devil.” In recent years, Dylan has included the Dead classic in his set.
Proving that the world is indeed a small place, I also ran into Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Adams, who had come out to catch her first sets of Phil and Friends shows. Jerry Garcia’s former wife gave a big thumbs-up to what she had heard the evening before. Throughout the tour, the venues employed a reserved seat policy in the stands, with an open general admission for fans on the floor. Admission to the floor required a wristband, which caused some delays for folks who were trying to make it down to the floor area.
The show’s format had changed a bit since the last Phil and Friends shows at the Warfield Theater. As the house lights remained on, Phil Lesh and the band—drummer John Molo, keyboardist Rob Barraco, and guitarists Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes—eased into a jam that increased in volume and energy. As the lights dimmed about five minutes into the beginning jam, Lesh and the guitarists floated like butterflies with some sensitive passages that soon increased in intensity. Trucks and Haynes certainly work well together, and in this context, they were simply awesome. Quoting instrumental passages from “Mountain Jam” and “Blue Sky,” Lesh’s bass always ringing at full throttle, the band embarked on a 25-minute jam before morphing into “Crazy Fingers.” Rob Barraco’s tenure with one of America’s best jam bands, the Zen Tricksters, certainly served him well as his vocals hit the mark. Barraco was playing a Hammond B-3 organ that was previously used by none other than the late Ron “Pigpen” McKernan.
“Unbroken Chain” was greeted like a long-lost friend. Lesh’s voice was met with a thunderous ovation, and the song’s intricate middle section was performed masterfully. Phil and Friends were joined by blues queen Susan Tedeschi for “Dupree’s Diamond Blues” and “Turn On Your Lovelight,” which proved to be the highlight of the show. Tedeschi demonstrated her prowess as a masterful guitarist, adding some fiery guitar licks with Trucks and Haynes.
Dylan, it must be said, is at the top of his game musically these days. His band has also undergone some personnel changes in recent months as guitarist Larry Campbell filled the void left by departing pedal steel guitarist Bucky Baxter. Guitarist Charlie Sexton is now a full-fledged player in Dylan’s top-notch band as well. His show has also undergone some revamping as the legendary rocker performs a first-half acoustic set, followed by an electric set. Some standouts of his set included “The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll,” “Boots Of Spanish Leather” and “Shooting Star.” Instead of playing from a short list of songs, Dylan’s live set list has expanded considerably as he performed rare versions of Porter Wagoner’s “A Satisfied Mind” and Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” the latter featuring a scorching guitar solo by Sexton.
The next evening’s show at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven brought out several “friends” who checked out the show—Phish’s Mike Gordon, Zen Tricksters’ Jeff Mattson and Max Creek’s Scott Murowski. The revamping of Phil and Friends’ show to include a freewheeling opening jam continued to yield much in the way of musical fireworks. Once again, the band performed as an ensemble, not just a collection of soloists, with the group locking into some solid grooves before coalescing into a joyous rendition of “Uncle John’s Band.” During the 90-minute medley, Lesh delivered the first ever East Coast performance of the Grateful Dead classic “Pride Of Cucamonga,” while Warren Haynes was sensational during the Phil and Friends original, “Patchwork Quilt.”
Dylan’s set also produced some powerful musical moments. Opening with the gospel-tinged, Ralph Stanley-penned bluegrass tune, “I Am The Man, Thomas,” Dylan displayed some awesome acoustic power during “My Back Pages,” “John Brown” and “One Too Many Mornings.” The song selection was sensational, as was Dylan’s rock solid rhythm section of bassist Tony Garnier and drummer David Kemper, who was a mainstay of the Jerry Garcia Band. Dylan continued to mine gold, performing stellar versions of “Positively 4th Street,” “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.” During the encore, Lesh came out to join Dylan’s band for a rollicking arrangement of “West LA Fadeway” and “Not Fade Away” to close the evening. Apparently, Dylan’s band had rehearsed several Dead songs in anticipation of performing with the former Dead bassist, and the preparation was rewarded with a razor-sharp rendition.
One of the most anticipated shows of the tour was the November 13 performance at the Continental Airlines Arena, located in the Meadowlands Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This show was long sold-out, attesting to the enormous drawing power of these two world-class artists. The parking lots surrounding the venue were packed with fans early, and it was nice to be back on “Shakedown Street.” The carnival atmosphere was reminiscent of the glory days when the Grateful Dead made this venue a popular stop during its East Coast tours.
Inside the arena, anticipation reached a fever pitch as Lesh and Friends began its show typically with a nearly half-hour jam. Derek Trucks was incredible, and his incendiary slide guitar playing was one of the early highlights of the show. Lesh and Friends’ totally revamped version of Dino Valente’s anthem, “Get Together,” was also a stroke of genius as the song was given a very upbeat, calypso arrangement featuring some relentless poly-rhythms by drummer John Molo.
Warren Haynes delivered a sensational version of the Traffic tune “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” which also displayed the awesome strengths of this band. The die-hard New Jersey crowd exploded in approval from the opening strains of “Cryptical Envelopment” that was only surpassed when Lesh lobbed one of his patented “bombs” during a ferocious “Other One.” The jam that followed included “Days Between” and John Coltrane’s “Blue Train,” before coming back full circle with “Cryptical.” The set-ending “Help On The Way,” “Slipknot” and “Franklin’s Tower” were absolutely thrilling.
As if energized by the exciting set by Lesh, Dylan performed an emotional show that included many of the touchstones of his folk-rock origins. Even though this fiery folksinger was performing before a sold-out throng of 18,000 people, a hush enveloped the arena, making it feel more like an intimate folk club. The crowd reacted to some of the singer/songwriter’s tunes in quiet reverence, and they were rewarded mightily as Dylan delivered a sermon that included “Song To Woody,” “It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and “Visions Of Johanna” with stunning power and clarity.
The electric set was no less impressive as Dylan broke out Muddy Waters’ “Hootchie Cootchie Man,” “Tombstone Blues,” “Joey” and a haunting “Not Dark Yet.” During the set-closing “Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat,” someone from the audience tossed up a leopard print hat, which landed perfectly on Dylan’s microphone. Dylan, who had his back turned when it happened, broke into uncharacteristic laughter when he turned back to sing the song’s final verse. The good vibes continued well into the encore when Dylan was again joined by Lesh for a rousing version of “Alabama Getaway” and “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35.” Dylan, Lesh and Dylan’s bassist, Tony Garnier, stood close together, all grinning ear-to-ear during the tasty jam.
After the show, a party was held at the nearby Sheraton Hotel where guitarist Jeff Mattson and bassist Klyph Black from the Zen Tricksters entertained.
If there was one Phil and Friends show to pick as the best, it would be difficult to exclude the show held November 14 at The Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. From the opening notes of the show’s jam, to the ending strains of “Not Fade Away,” this show hit the high water mark with many. After a long, sinewy jam that explored every nook and cranny of space, the band exploded into the classic “Dark Star,” with Lesh, Haynes and Rob Barraco sharing each of the song’s verses. Trucks and Haynes proved that they are consummate jammers, each taking a new pathway into the uncharted waters of outer space. The jam led into a wonderful arrangement of “Sugaree” that featured some great vocals by Haynes. The jam that followed led into “Cosmic Charlie” and was welcomed enthusiastically by the sold-out arena audience. The group continued in the spacey mode, again reprising “Dark Star,” including the song’s second verse, before again dropping a bomb on the audience with an explosive “St. Stephen” that would not be complete without an equally pyrotechnic “The Eleven Jam.”
Lesh’s joyous celebration was beautifully capped by “Not Fade Away.” Despite the rousing opening set by Phil and Friends, Bob Dylan and his band continued the relentless pace of the show. Beginning with the seldom performed gospel hymn “Somebody Touched Me,” Dylan’s acoustic set included “To Ramona,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall,” which may be as powerful a song as has ever been written. Also featured was “Everything Is Broken,” “Like A Rolling Stone” and a very rare, 15-minute rendition of “Highlands,” that showed a jazzy, poetic side of the rock superstar. Dylan proved again to be a man of many surprises.
The show the next evening at Cornell University’s Barton Hall in Ithaca, New York also yielded a different twist, as Phil and Friends not only included Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, but Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen on guitar. Besides being the smallest venue on the tour, Barton Hall holds many fond memories of what is considered to be one of the greatest Grateful Dead shows of all time, May 8, 1977. The surrounding area also includes such historic Dead venues as Harpur College, the site of another historic show on May 2, 1970, and the Broome Country Arena in nearby Binghamton.
Barton Hall is an ancient place that hasn’t changed a bit since 1977. Because of its historical significance to Deadheads, this show proved to be the toughest ticket with legions of ticket-less Heads, fingers held high, some with $100 bills, searching in vain for that all elusive “miracle ticket.” Adding to the frigid mix of driving snow and bitter cold, the venue had one small doorway through which every person had to enter.
Once inside, the arena contained a spongy surface very conducive for dancing. The security consisted solely of students wearing some snappy-looking Bob Dylan and Phil Lesh and Friends T-shirts, giving the event the air of a psychedelic sock hop.
Despite the fact that the show had been sold-out way in advance, it was barely one-third full by the time Phil and Friends took the stage. Jorma Kaukonen plugged in between Trucks and Barraco, and during the show’s opening jam, was unobtrusive, content to allow Haynes and Trucks to lead the charge. “Eyes Of The World” was serene in its majesty, picking up considerably into a thunderous “Caution Jam” that wove magically into “Mountains Of The Moon.” The hall provided a surreal echo, as the drums and music bounced back toward the stage. Kaukonen finally stepped out during Haynes’ “Soulshine,” delivering a breathtaking guitar solo before diving headfirst into the old Pigpen-era Dead classic, “Mr. Charlie.” The “Cold Rain And Snow” that followed was appropriate, and the interesting jam that ensued drove into “Goin’ Down The Road Feelin’ Bad.” “We Bid You Goodnight” was heartfelt as the room’s acoustics added to the a cappella tune. During the band introductions, Phil acknowledged, “It’s great to be back in a place that has so much historical significance for all of us.” For Trucks, this was his last appearance of the tour, as his own band was scheduled to hit the road.
Bob Dylan continued to seek out some gems from his considerable songbook and favorites, performing a seldom played “Tomorrow Is A Long Time,” “Cat’s In The Well,” “Señor,” “I Want You” and “Money Honey,” a song that had previously never been performed. “Señor” was superb, with Larry Campbell playing a wonderful fiddle solo and Dylan adding some rich, full blasts from his harmonica.
If Cornell University was full of childhood exuberance, the show at Wittemore Center on the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, New Hampshire, was sobering in contrast. The show was delayed for nearly an hour as campus police, assisted by New Hampshire State Police, converged en masse to bust anyone in the parking lot that was vending. The crackdown prevented the doors to the venue from being opened as all the security was focused on the parking lots.
Inside the crowded arena, police waded into the center of the crowded floor to bust possibly hundreds people for smoking illegal substances. Such police action has not been seen in a docile concert setting since the early ‘70s at Nassau Coliseum. Viewing the constant dragging out of fans from the crowd cast an eerie pall on the proceedings as the police, in some cases, brought their handcuffed suspects through the backstage and dressing room areas.
The fans that did manage to see the show were rewarded with a wonderful selection of songs. The opening jam was more conservative in structure than previous shows, but was no less satisfying. Kaukonen and Haynes sparred like old prizefighters as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided a solid launching pad for them to shoot into space. The performance of “Attics Of My Life” was astonishing as Barraco, Lesh and Kaukonen hit their mark vocally on this inspired Grateful Dead classic. The set focused more on the songs than jams as Kaukonen’s version of Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man” and Haynes’ working of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Smokestack Lightning” gave the set a definite blues feel. Also outstanding was Kaukonen’s “Good Shepherd,” which was executed perfectly. The inclusion of “Get Together” was masterful in its newfound execution, and “Blue Sky” featured soaring guitar work by Kaukonen and Haynes that was a marvel to hear.
Dylan’s set also provided more gems as the talented songwriter continued to deal aces from the bottom of the deck. Breaking out another tune—“Duncan And Brady”—to open his portion of the show, Dylan’s “Girl From The North Country” was weepy and potent in its delivery. Peppering his set with such nuggets as “Desolation Row,” “If You See Her, Say Hello” and “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues,” with the seldom performed “Rock Of Ages” and “Down By The Cove,” Dylan revealed that he is an artist at the top of his craft. His band was tight, and his guitar playing was fast and furious. He ended songs on a dime with one backward glance towards drummer David Kemper. Nevertheless, it can be safely said that both the Dylan and Lesh camps were glad that the tour didn’t end in New Hampshire.
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has a well-deserved reputation as being a party school. Renowned in the pages of Playboy Magazine’s annual college review issue, the school is known as “The Zoo.” So it was understood that the show would be a far cry from the previous night’s debacle in New Hampshire.
Phil and Friends rose to the occasion, starting with a sublime jam that featured Kaukonen and Haynes. The ensemble playing was magnificent as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided solid support in workmanlike fashion, really allowing the guitarists to strut their stuff. The jam magically wove into the opening strains of “St. Stephen,” which was met with a deafening roar from the crowd. Haynes’ and Kaukonen’s guitar playing was as frenzied as two pit bulls fighting over a piece of meat, as Lesh’s bass playing shook the foundation of the arena during “The Eleven Jam.” Robbie Robertson’s “Broken Arrow” is another tune in Lesh’s song canon to which the former Dead bassist does justice. Featured on Phil Lesh and Friends’ recent release, Love Will See You Through (Grateful Dead Merchandising), Lesh’s sensitive vocal delivery awakens many emotions, and this performance was no exception.
Besides being a world-class guitarist, Haynes is also a fine vocalist as he displayed during his wonderful rendition of Traffic’s “Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys.” Kaukonen’s participation in this final leg of the Phil and Friends tour was highly anticipated, and the Hot Tuna founder was sensational as he pulled “I Am The Light Of This World” out of his considerable musical bag of songs. His bluesy voice and folksy guitar playing were tasty throughout.
It was hard to believe after the sensational “Scarlet Begonias” and “Franklin’s Tower,” that the tour was coming to an end.

Por cierto, no os parece que la voz de Brent y la de Warren Haynes se parecen muchisimo?
Yo también recelaba, pero poco a poco voy cogiendo el gusto, echale un orejano a alguno de los conciertos que dejé en la página anterior, o prueba con el DVD Downhill From Here que también es muy recomendable, o el Crimson White & Indigo, Truckin' Up To Buffalo...son todos de la gira de verano de 1989, buenísimos

Some standouts of his set included “The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll,” “Boots Of Spanish Leather” and “Shooting Star.” Instead of playing from a short list of songs, Dylan’s live set list has expanded considerably as he performed rare versions of Porter Wagoner’s “A Satisfied Mind” and Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” the latter featuring a scorching guitar solo by Sexton.
The next evening’s show at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven brought out several “friends” who checked out the show—Phish’s Mike Gordon, Zen Tricksters’ Jeff Mattson and Max Creek’s Scott Murowski. The revamping of Phil and Friends’ show to include a freewheeling opening jam continued to yield much in the way of musical fireworks. Once again, the band performed as an ensemble, not just a collection of soloists, with the group locking into some solid grooves before coalescing into a joyous rendition of “Uncle John’s Band.” During the 90-minute medley, Lesh delivered the first ever East Coast performance of the Grateful Dead classic “Pride Of Cucamonga,” while Warren Haynes was sensational during the Phil and Friends original, “Patchwork Quilt.”
Dylan’s set also produced some powerful musical moments. Opening with the gospel-tinged, Ralph Stanley-penned bluegrass tune, “I Am The Man, Thomas,” Dylan displayed some awesome acoustic power during “My Back Pages,” “John Brown” and “One Too Many Mornings.” The song selection was sensational, as was Dylan’s rock solid rhythm section of bassist Tony Garnier and drummer David Kemper, who was a mainstay of the Jerry Garcia Band. Dylan continued to mine gold, performing stellar versions of “Positively 4th Street,” “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I’ll Go Mine)” and “Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat.” During the encore, Lesh came out to join Dylan’s band for a rollicking arrangement of “West LA Fadeway” and “Not Fade Away” to close the evening. Apparently, Dylan’s band had rehearsed several Dead songs in anticipation of performing with the former Dead bassist, and the preparation was rewarded with a razor-sharp rendition.
One of the most anticipated shows of the tour was the November 13 performance at the Continental Airlines Arena, located in the Meadowlands Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This show was long sold-out, attesting to the enormous drawing power of these two world-class artists. The parking lots surrounding the venue were packed with fans early, and it was nice to be back on “Shakedown Street.” The carnival atmosphere was reminiscent of the glory days when the Grateful Dead made this venue a popular stop during its East Coast tours.
Inside the arena, anticipation reached a fever pitch as Lesh and Friends began its show typically with a nearly half-hour jam. Derek Trucks was incredible, and his incendiary slide guitar playing was one of the early highlights of the show. Lesh and Friends’ totally revamped version of Dino Valente’s anthem, “Get Together,” was also a stroke of genius as the song was given a very upbeat, calypso arrangement featuring some relentless poly-rhythms by drummer John Molo.
Warren Haynes delivered a sensational version of the Traffic tune “Dear Mr. Fantasy,” which also displayed the awesome strengths of this band. The die-hard New Jersey crowd exploded in approval from the opening strains of “Cryptical Envelopment” that was only surpassed when Lesh lobbed one of his patented “bombs” during a ferocious “Other One.” The jam that followed included “Days Between” and John Coltrane’s “Blue Train,” before coming back full circle with “Cryptical.” The set-ending “Help On The Way,” “Slipknot” and “Franklin’s Tower” were absolutely thrilling.
As if energized by the exciting set by Lesh, Dylan performed an emotional show that included many of the touchstones of his folk-rock origins. Even though this fiery folksinger was performing before a sold-out throng of 18,000 people, a hush enveloped the arena, making it feel more like an intimate folk club. The crowd reacted to some of the singer/songwriter’s tunes in quiet reverence, and they were rewarded mightily as Dylan delivered a sermon that included “Song To Woody,” “It’s All Right Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and “Visions Of Johanna” with stunning power and clarity.
The electric set was no less impressive as Dylan broke out Muddy Waters’ “Hootchie Cootchie Man,” “Tombstone Blues,” “Joey” and a haunting “Not Dark Yet.” During the set-closing “Leopard Skin Pill-Box Hat,” someone from the audience tossed up a leopard print hat, which landed perfectly on Dylan’s microphone. Dylan, who had his back turned when it happened, broke into uncharacteristic laughter when he turned back to sing the song’s final verse. The good vibes continued well into the encore when Dylan was again joined by Lesh for a rousing version of “Alabama Getaway” and “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35.” Dylan, Lesh and Dylan’s bassist, Tony Garnier, stood close together, all grinning ear-to-ear during the tasty jam.
After the show, a party was held at the nearby Sheraton Hotel where guitarist Jeff Mattson and bassist Klyph Black from the Zen Tricksters entertained.
If there was one Phil and Friends show to pick as the best, it would be difficult to exclude the show held November 14 at The Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. From the opening notes of the show’s jam, to the ending strains of “Not Fade Away,” this show hit the high water mark with many. After a long, sinewy jam that explored every nook and cranny of space, the band exploded into the classic “Dark Star,” with Lesh, Haynes and Rob Barraco sharing each of the song’s verses. Trucks and Haynes proved that they are consummate jammers, each taking a new pathway into the uncharted waters of outer space. The jam led into a wonderful arrangement of “Sugaree” that featured some great vocals by Haynes. The jam that followed led into “Cosmic Charlie” and was welcomed enthusiastically by the sold-out arena audience. The group continued in the spacey mode, again reprising “Dark Star,” including the song’s second verse, before again dropping a bomb on the audience with an explosive “St. Stephen” that would not be complete without an equally pyrotechnic “The Eleven Jam.”
Lesh’s joyous celebration was beautifully capped by “Not Fade Away.” Despite the rousing opening set by Phil and Friends, Bob Dylan and his band continued the relentless pace of the show. Beginning with the seldom performed gospel hymn “Somebody Touched Me,” Dylan’s acoustic set included “To Ramona,” “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” and “A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall,” which may be as powerful a song as has ever been written. Also featured was “Everything Is Broken,” “Like A Rolling Stone” and a very rare, 15-minute rendition of “Highlands,” that showed a jazzy, poetic side of the rock superstar. Dylan proved again to be a man of many surprises.
The show the next evening at Cornell University’s Barton Hall in Ithaca, New York also yielded a different twist, as Phil and Friends not only included Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes, but Hot Tuna’s Jorma Kaukonen on guitar. Besides being the smallest venue on the tour, Barton Hall holds many fond memories of what is considered to be one of the greatest Grateful Dead shows of all time, May 8, 1977. The surrounding area also includes such historic Dead venues as Harpur College, the site of another historic show on May 2, 1970, and the Broome Country Arena in nearby Binghamton.
Barton Hall is an ancient place that hasn’t changed a bit since 1977. Because of its historical significance to Deadheads, this show proved to be the toughest ticket with legions of ticket-less Heads, fingers held high, some with $100 bills, searching in vain for that all elusive “miracle ticket.” Adding to the frigid mix of driving snow and bitter cold, the venue had one small doorway through which every person had to enter.
Once inside, the arena contained a spongy surface very conducive for dancing. The security consisted solely of students wearing some snappy-looking Bob Dylan and Phil Lesh and Friends T-shirts, giving the event the air of a psychedelic sock hop.
Despite the fact that the show had been sold-out way in advance, it was barely one-third full by the time Phil and Friends took the stage. Jorma Kaukonen plugged in between Trucks and Barraco, and during the show’s opening jam, was unobtrusive, content to allow Haynes and Trucks to lead the charge. “Eyes Of The World” was serene in its majesty, picking up considerably into a thunderous “Caution Jam” that wove magically into “Mountains Of The Moon.” The hall provided a surreal echo, as the drums and music bounced back toward the stage. Kaukonen finally stepped out during Haynes’ “Soulshine,” delivering a breathtaking guitar solo before diving headfirst into the old Pigpen-era Dead classic, “Mr. Charlie.” The “Cold Rain And Snow” that followed was appropriate, and the interesting jam that ensued drove into “Goin’ Down The Road Feelin’ Bad.” “We Bid You Goodnight” was heartfelt as the room’s acoustics added to the a cappella tune. During the band introductions, Phil acknowledged, “It’s great to be back in a place that has so much historical significance for all of us.” For Trucks, this was his last appearance of the tour, as his own band was scheduled to hit the road.
Bob Dylan continued to seek out some gems from his considerable songbook and favorites, performing a seldom played “Tomorrow Is A Long Time,” “Cat’s In The Well,” “Señor,” “I Want You” and “Money Honey,” a song that had previously never been performed. “Señor” was superb, with Larry Campbell playing a wonderful fiddle solo and Dylan adding some rich, full blasts from his harmonica.
If Cornell University was full of childhood exuberance, the show at Wittemore Center on the University of New Hampshire campus in Durham, New Hampshire, was sobering in contrast. The show was delayed for nearly an hour as campus police, assisted by New Hampshire State Police, converged en masse to bust anyone in the parking lot that was vending. The crackdown prevented the doors to the venue from being opened as all the security was focused on the parking lots.
Inside the crowded arena, police waded into the center of the crowded floor to bust possibly hundreds people for smoking illegal substances. Such police action has not been seen in a docile concert setting since the early ‘70s at Nassau Coliseum. Viewing the constant dragging out of fans from the crowd cast an eerie pall on the proceedings as the police, in some cases, brought their handcuffed suspects through the backstage and dressing room areas.
The fans that did manage to see the show were rewarded with a wonderful selection of songs. The opening jam was more conservative in structure than previous shows, but was no less satisfying. Kaukonen and Haynes sparred like old prizefighters as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided a solid launching pad for them to shoot into space. The performance of “Attics Of My Life” was astonishing as Barraco, Lesh and Kaukonen hit their mark vocally on this inspired Grateful Dead classic. The set focused more on the songs than jams as Kaukonen’s version of Jimmy Reed’s “Big Boss Man” and Haynes’ working of Howlin’ Wolf’s “Smokestack Lightning” gave the set a definite blues feel. Also outstanding was Kaukonen’s “Good Shepherd,” which was executed perfectly. The inclusion of “Get Together” was masterful in its newfound execution, and “Blue Sky” featured soaring guitar work by Kaukonen and Haynes that was a marvel to hear.
Dylan’s set also provided more gems as the talented songwriter continued to deal aces from the bottom of the deck. Breaking out another tune—“Duncan And Brady”—to open his portion of the show, Dylan’s “Girl From The North Country” was weepy and potent in its delivery. Peppering his set with such nuggets as “Desolation Row,” “If You See Her, Say Hello” and “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues,” with the seldom performed “Rock Of Ages” and “Down By The Cove,” Dylan revealed that he is an artist at the top of his craft. His band was tight, and his guitar playing was fast and furious. He ended songs on a dime with one backward glance towards drummer David Kemper. Nevertheless, it can be safely said that both the Dylan and Lesh camps were glad that the tour didn’t end in New Hampshire.
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst has a well-deserved reputation as being a party school. Renowned in the pages of Playboy Magazine’s annual college review issue, the school is known as “The Zoo.” So it was understood that the show would be a far cry from the previous night’s debacle in New Hampshire.
Phil and Friends rose to the occasion, starting with a sublime jam that featured Kaukonen and Haynes. The ensemble playing was magnificent as Lesh, Barraco and Molo provided solid support in workmanlike fashion, really allowing the guitarists to strut their stuff. The jam magically wove into the opening strains of “St. Stephen,” which was met with a deafening roar from the crowd. Haynes’ and Kaukonen’s guitar playing was as frenzied as two pit bulls fighting over a piece of meat, as Lesh’s bass playing shook the foundation of the arena during “The Eleven Jam.” Robbie Robertson’s “Broken Arrow” is another tune in Lesh’s song canon to which the former Dead bassist does justice. Featured on Phil Lesh and Friends’ recent release, Love Will See You Through (Grateful Dead Merchandising), Lesh’s sensitive vocal delivery awakens many emotions, and this performance was no exception.
Besides being a world-class guitarist, Haynes is also a fine vocalist as he displayed during his wonderful rendition of Traffic’s “Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys.” Kaukonen’s participation in this final leg of the Phil and Friends tour was highly anticipated, and the Hot Tuna founder was sensational as he pulled “I Am The Light Of This World” out of his considerable musical bag of songs. His bluesy voice and folksy guitar playing were tasty throughout.
It was hard to believe after the sensational “Scarlet Begonias” and “Franklin’s Tower,” that the tour was coming to an end.
The set by Bob Dylan that followed was one of those truly special musical moments. Dylan began his acoustic portion of the show with the gospel-flavored “Somebody Touched Me,” before preaching the gospel of his legendary songbook of tunes for which he is so well known. He performed “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “Boots Of Spanish Leather” and “Tangled Up In Blue” before strapping on his black Fender Stratocaster guitar for electric versions of “Man Of Peace” and “You’re A Big Girl Now.” Dylan then announced to a stunned crowed, “I want to bring out a friend of mine for this next song,” and out from the wings stepped Haynes. The Gov’t Mule guitarist wasted no time in getting down to business, performing a hair-raising version of “All Along The Watchtower,” while Larry Campbell wailed on pedal steel. Dylan appeared to relish his jam with Haynes as the two stood toe-to-toe, each unleashing a volley of guitar solos as the crowd howled in appreciation.
After another rare marathon version of “Highlands,” Dylan brought out Haynes and Kaukonen for “Highway 61 Revisited.” Again, Dylan turned his smiling face to Haynes as the guitarist ripped into an exciting slide guitar solo. After the obligatory encores of “Love Sick” and “Like A Rolling Stone,” Phil Lesh joined Dylan on stage. “It has been an honor and a privilege to be playing with Phil Lesh, and I hope we can do it again,” Dylan announced to the crowd. Lesh joined Dylan for a wonderful acoustic arrangement of “Friend Of The Devil” that featured a trademark harmonica solo from the iconoclastic rocker. With Lesh standing at his side, Dylan then brought Haynes and Kaukonen back out for a rollicking version of “Not Fade Away,” followed by “Alabama Getaway” with the cast of musicians each taking a generous solo while backed by Dylan’s band. After Lesh, Haynes and Kaukonen left the stage, Dylan continued his seven-song encore with thrilling performances of “Blowin’ In The Wind” and “Rainy Day Women No. 12 & 35,” after which he put on a white cowboy hat and strolled straight to his waiting tour bus.
In what was truly a testament to both artists, Lesh and Dylan undertook what turned out to be one of finest tours of the decade. The stellar musicianship and camaraderie was both real and infectious as was demonstrated by the numerous jams and musical magic that occurred during the performances. There were more than a few misty eyes in both camps after the final note had been played, and the unanimous opinion was that both artists would again share a stage together in the future. This is very welcome news, indeed.

Re: Grateful Dead
en relix.com estan colgados unos articulos sobre los dead muy interesantes. el ultimo son reflecciones sobre la epoca de Brent y su importancia dentro de la historia del dead, esencial para entender porque se considera como la epoca dorada.
sin embargo, lo que mas me ha gustado es una entrevista con Bobby sobre sus canciones.
sobre Brother Esau (cancion que me encanta), explica basicamente que dejaron de tocarlo porque no tenia ni puta idea de que iba realmente las letras.
aqui esta el trozo
“Brother Esau” is a song that I guess you ended up not liking and I’m not sure why because I think it’s a really good song. What was wrong it?
“My Brother Esau” the lyrics were opaque. I mean, at least for me, not so for other people, I don’t understand what it is I’m singing there. I worked and worked and worked on it, and I still couldn’t understand the point that I was fucking making.
I thought I knew.
I know vaguely, but… but the lyrics are too obtuse. I know it’s basically… it was an attempt to bring a biblical reference to an era where in American…
Cane and Abel.
It was Sons of Isaac, right? Esau and Jacob. And you know, they went in very different directions. One of them basically ran himself into a wall. And the reconciling of Esau and Jacob was the biblical precedent for what was happening in American society at the time. We tried to encapsulate that but I don’t think we quite got it. I know what we were going for but I didn’t feel like the lyric was exactly ringing that bell. It seemed to me like when I would sing the song, we could nail it. Musically, I loved playing it.
That’s what confused me. Since you put it away, there was something obviously something you didn’t like but you guys would play the hell out of it.
You know, I would consider, and I may do this working with Barlow in trying to refine the lyric a bit so it does say what… there’s more to be added to that story anyway because the story is happening again.
Precisely. The visions of Vietnam haven’t gone anywhere.
The visions of Vietnam haven’t gone anywhere and there’s that element coming back from the Gulf War and over the top of that there’s red versus blue America. So there’s that to be addressed and I wouldn’t mind bringing that back or reworking it or something… “Esau Revisited” or something like that and really refining that a bit so that it… It doesn’t have to be understandable as long as it rings the bell. Poetry doesn’t have to be understandable. In fact, it’s probably better when it’s not but who’s to say? But it does have to ring the bell.
When you’re onstage delivering this stuff, you go into another state, you really do. I’m not the guy you see onstage or the guy who shows up in pictures or in the mirror. I get into a sort of a hallucinatory… I won’t say hallucinatory. I get into a place where I see stuff from onstage that I don’t normally see. That’s where I live a great deal of my life. And in this case, and in other cases too, when the song is over I see stuff. I see neon question marks lighting up over peoples’ heads. (taking on voice of someone in the crowd) “What was it that I just heard?” People who were paying attention. I may be projecting that, it may be all in me or it may be actually happening, regardless rather than hearing the song in my head go “ding-click,” I know they got it, I never got there with “My Brother Esau.”

en la ultima edicion, tambien publicaron el horario oficial y despues anunciaron la inclusion de Joshua Phillips. siempre interesar reservar algo, para luego dar la noticia y hacer un pequeño empujon a las ventas. regla basica de marketing. lo hace todos los festivales, anunciando las artistas a cuenta gotas, aunque sabian desde el principio el lineup completo.

Re: Grateful Dead
1977
Y llegó un punto en que todas las canciones que habían tocado, todas las que cantaron, y todos los caminos tanto musicales como reales que habían transitado parecieron converger en la primavera de este año. Toda una evolución que empezó apenas un año antes de la muerte de Pigpen con la entrada de los Godchaux y que les había alejado de los caminos mas blueseros y psicodélicos alcanza en estos meses su máxima expresión. A menudo se toma todo el periodo de 1972 como su mejor momento a todo los niveles, pero en este que nos ocupa alcanzaron la misma perfección siendo mucho mas complejos en sus planteamientos musicales, tanto a nivel de composiciones como a nivel de interpretación, y en un estado de forma que nunca volvieron a disfrutar; a partir de la primera mitad de 1977 el grupo cayó en una lenta y placentera cuesta abajo que acabó con los Godchaux fuera de la banda...
Pero eso queda para mas adelante, mientras disfrutaron de uno de sus mejores momentos creativos como demuestran las que son las canciones “estrella” de este periodo: Terrapin Station y Estimated Prophet, una de Garcia y otra de Weir que sin duda se encuentran entre las mejores de cada uno, y que brillaban en un repertorio ya muy extenso y complejo, como probablemente no ha tenido otra banda de la época o posterior, y sobre todo la inclusión de Fire On The Mountain despues de Scarlett Begonias convirtiendose en uno de los combos mas apreciados por los deadheads. Destacables son tambien las reinterpretaciones que hicieron de 2 de sus grandes clásicos, Friend Of The devil y Bertha, mucho mas relajadas y lentas que las originales, con resultados algo desiguales: si bien el nuevo traje le sienta bastante bien a FOTD, no tanto ocurre con Bertha. Con los años ambas volvieron felizmente a su forma original. Y que decir de los Help>Slipknot>Franklin’s de esta época, inconmensurables como nunca volvieron a ser.
Y es sintomático que toda esta inspiración, esa compenetración casi perfecta con la que conjuntaban toda esa amalgama de sonidos, ese momento tan dulce que saborearon, viniera con el inicio de sus problemas con el alcohol y las drogas, hasta entonces su masivo consumo de psicotrópicos apenas había hecho mella mas allá de convertirlos en un grupo de adorables fumetas que tocaban como tales, pero es en esta época en que la cocaina entró de lleno en sus preferencias y acabó por aislar a cada miembro en sí mismo (en palabras de Phil); quizá por la enorme responsabilidad que significaba el mantener toda una enorme estructura de gente que literalmente vivía de ellos y sus giras, o por las fechorías a las que le sometió su manager de entonces Ron Rakow, o a la cada vez mas desbordante popularidad que tuvieron desde entonces y que Garcia nunca digirió del todo...
sea como fuere su gira por la costa este y el medio oeste se convirtió en un tour de force dificilmente superable, con series de conciertos en los que es complicadisimo elegir uno por encima del resto. Y para empezar el debut de la gira, con ese Terrapin Station como presentación (era la primera vez que la tocaban) al estilo del comienzo del One Fron The Vault y el público boquiabierto ante semejante bomba, y lo que siguió solo puede ser calificado como histórico. Uds lo disfruten.

Y es sintomático que toda esta inspiración, esa compenetración casi perfecta con la que conjuntaban toda esa amalgama de sonidos, ese momento tan dulce que saborearon, viniera con el inicio de sus problemas con el alcohol y las drogas, hasta entonces su masivo consumo de psicotrópicos apenas había hecho mella mas allá de convertirlos en un grupo de adorables fumetas que tocaban como tales, pero es en esta época en que la cocaina entró de lleno en sus preferencias y acabó por aislar a cada miembro en sí mismo (en palabras de Phil); quizá por la enorme responsabilidad que significaba el mantener toda una enorme estructura de gente que literalmente vivía de ellos y sus giras, o por las fechorías a las que le sometió su manager de entonces Ron Rakow, o a la cada vez mas desbordante popularidad que tuvieron desde entonces y que Garcia nunca digirió del todo...
sea como fuere su gira por la costa este y el medio oeste se convirtió en un tour de force dificilmente superable, con series de conciertos en los que es complicadisimo elegir uno por encima del resto. Y para empezar el debut de la gira, con ese Terrapin Station como presentación (era la primera vez que la tocaban) al estilo del comienzo del One Fron The Vault y el público boquiabierto ante semejante bomba, y lo que siguió solo puede ser calificado como histórico.

parece ser que Phil Lesh & Friends va a volver, con tres guitaristas - Jackie Greene, Jon Scofeld y Warren Haynes. aunque tambien esta previsto la vuelta de Furthur cuando acaban la gira. ¿que hara Bobby mientras? un poco de Ratdog? o quizas se quedara en su TriStudios?

Re: Grateful Dead
Como yo no soy capaz de hacer un ensayo magistral sobre el Dead como los de Funkymen, he pensado hacer un relato mas personal. pero no sobre el 1977, sino el año anterior. 1976
escuche hace varios semanas el disco bonus de Live At The Cow Palace "Spirit of 76" y ultimamente he podido desgustar lentamente el ultimo y final entrega de Road Trips, Boston Music Hall 76. los cuales me tiene convencidos que 77 puede ser 77, pero tambien 76 es mucho 76. aqui hay magia y poder.
en el año 1976, yo tenia 10 años, y como pueden imaginar estaba completamente oblivio a los grateful dead. aunque la verdad es que mis padres, para tranquilizar sus conciencias de ser del clase media y blancas, llevaban un poco de estilo hippie. en casa, aparte del jazz bebop, escuchabamos vinilos de Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Simon & Garfunkel, Peter Paul & Mary, y mas que ninguno Phil Ochs. pero, tambien entre los vinilos estaba mi favorito, el BSO de Woodstock (la primera edicion, que no tiene tantas canciones como las ediciones de ahora, y que obviamente no incluia nada del disastre que era el set de los dead en woodstock). teniamos una furgoneta volkswagen, al mas puro estilo hippie automotivo. aunque la pegatina de "make love not war" o algo por el estilo, al final lo quitaron despues de las suplicaciones de mis abuelos, en aquel entonces algo asi era una invitacion que alguien metiese una bomba lapa de bajo de tu coche. y finalmente, eran mis padres que me enseñaron a hacer camisetas tie-dyes. en fin, bastante enrollados, o por lo menos lo intentaban.
bueno, al grano. el año 1976 no solamente era el año en que yo cumplia los 10, sino era la celebracion del "bicenteniario", 200 años desde la declaracion de independiencia. un año de mucho orgullo y patriotismo para los americanos. confieso que mis recuerdos son de un chico de 10 años, pero a mi me parecia un patriotismo bastante diferente a lo de ahora. nada de zenofobia, ni coros moronicos de "U.S.A" en los grandes partidos de deportes, ni nada del estilo. simplemente una celebracion de los principios en que habia fundado la nacion y los patriotas originales que lucharon por la independencia. (ahora confieso que mi padre es profesor de derecho constitucional y historiador legal, y como consecuencia mis grandes heroes a ese edad eran figuras como Thomas Jefferson y george washington - aunque tambien Martin Luther King - y no spiderman como los demas, asi que tengo la vision un poco coloreado). bueno, todo eso al final igual no llega a nada. pero la parte importante es entender que todo el movimiento hippie y la "counterculture" consideraban a ellos mismos como los herederos directos de ese "espiritu de 76", los verdaderos patriotas y quien mas representaban los principios en que se fundo el pais. existe mucho uso del imagen de la guerra de independencia dentro del arte y cultura hippie (lee bien las letras de UJB). asi, que ellos entendia por un parte que el bicenteniario era un festejo suyo. y asi, cuando escuchas el U.S. Blues del final de RT V.4 N.5, tocado en Boston, casi la cuna de la revolucion americano, en el año bicentario, cambia un poco la forma de entenderlo.
bueno, espero que no os he aburrido con mis apuntes sobre el tema.
