The Grateful Thread

[BeanoNYC]

It's great to keep a perspective on the pre-Europe 72 sound.

My favorite song from that era. Love the style.

Etta James sat in with the GD once and said they were the "baddest american blues band"..

Early Dead is certainly bluesy...

Oh yeah, how could they not be with Pigpen being their frontman and arguably their leader back then!

Good to see Levon in there. Hope he gets a large chunk of the revenue. From my understading, Robbie Robertson screwed him pretty bad out of 'The Band' royalties.

I think Levon's doing OK now..
He's in a renaissance in his career... Saw him play the other night at his studio with MMW...
Dude was one of the happiest guys I've ever met.. He was jamming with his friends in his house(studio)... Pregnant daughter playing mandilin and singing....

Great night!!!

Jackie Green rocks. Loved him with Phil at the Nokia shows. (btw, you can hear them free now from phil!). I've also been a fan of scofield for years while he was doing his own things even before phil.

Can't wait for phil to come back around.....I'm thinking of skipping ratdog next time they're around...not really worth it and bobby never pays it forward like phil does, so why support him anymore!

My Scofield collection is way more vast then any other jazz artist that I collect.. He's insanely prolific..
Got into him via Miles Davis.

Phil who? He played last night in oregon. A few nights before in Cal doing Bobby tunes. I really think my touring days are kind of over, a show here and there will still happen. Just alot going on, especailly with the kids Most days I would prefer to ski than see a show.. I had a pretty good 23 year run.

I'm with ya brother...

Gotta go for quality over quantity..
Quality venues and shows... That serve good beer..

I've sworn off stadiums,arenas and sheds for the most part.. i need either the outdoors, a theater or a club/bar...

I've been spoiled by living next to Woodstock NY..

I've definitely sworn off stadiums and arenas. I'm also pretty much against theatres to, no matter how nice they are. I'm just completely put off these days by the idea of being confined to Section 103, Row MM, seat 11. I do make the occasional exception though, such as moe. this weekend at the Orpheum.

Love Phil, love the memories of the six night runs at the Garden as a kid seeing the boys tear it up.

These days....give me a small club with a young up and coming group full of energy. $10 cover charges....freedom to roam around and witness something fresh and new.

That situation and a few festivals a year is pretty much where I'm at. Langarado is only six weeks away!!!!

Swore off stadiums after seeing the GD at Giants stadium the year before Jerry died.. A guy fell from the tier above us onto another guy... It was a mess..

Saw tons of GD show in stadiums and it just got worse and worse.. "Touch of Grey effect"

Down where I live they built a great shed(Bethel Woods) next to where the woodstock concert was in 69..

Enjoy!

Enjoy!

It better be DAMN good considering I'm giving up ski time during my favorite month to be out on the hill. Somehow my non-skiing girlfriend doesn't understand this concern of mine. :lol:
