On record, I like their proggy jamming era, the lightweight country stuff not so much. Oh I’ve seen plenty of live grating endless noodle jams, just don’t get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty damn good compilation, all stuff I've been into for years - although much of it is not remotely 'country'. If any tracks particularly take your fancy, I can point you in the direction of further listening. It was you! I'd looked for it in albums and not found it but it was in 'what song'. To be honest, this record's been literally spinning for about 30 minutes now and I haven't dropped the arm. I can't stand first listen to something whilst also doing something else. I like to give it my undivided. So I've postponed it until I've finished my chores and checked the footy scores... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted April 14, 2018 Moderator Share Posted April 14, 2018 I have never understood what people see in the Grateful Dead. Me either. There's something not quite "right" about their stuff. Dunno what it is. For example this is an OK song, but I find it hard to listen all the way through,... but when someone else covers it (albeit someone I love), like this it becomes a thing of wonder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted April 14, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted April 14, 2018 Reverse for me. The cover does nothing for me. That's not really too representative of the most of the Dead's stuff, though. I remember once in Kansas City in the late '70s I got in the car and turned on the local rock radio station and was pleasantly surprised to hear a Dead song. Sadly, it was just ending. The DJ came on and said someone had called in to complain about him playing the Grateful Dead. His next words were, "All I can say to that is: 'Here's some Grateful Dead'" and proceeded to play another. Made me smile.

I don't think I've ever heard a Grateful Dead track before, but I quite like that. That cover, not at all I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Esther Marrow - 'Newport News, Virginia' Great voice, playing and production. I had something by her on a singles collection - 'Things Ain't Right', it's great. Had no idea she had such an accomplished album under her belt.

Triple album compilation Box Set that cost £11.99 many years ago That looks grand! Absolutely knackered and mentally drained today and I've got ticks for Mungo's HiFi Soundsystem later, so I think I'll try a bit of Mr Perry to see if I can get in the mood. I think I've driven over a thousand miles this week, including a couple of 16 hour days. So right now, a gig that starts at 10 and goes deep in to the early hours feels a bit daunting.

Unfortunately they only seemed to have 1 - 2 or none of most of the titles and after they had served the first 10 people who got to pick whatever they wanted from the already limited stock it was slim pickings by 8.30. Nipped over to another store after leaving to find another queue of 30 or so people being allowed in on a 1 in one out basis. By the time i left at 10.00 i had managed a small haul but only about 1/3 of what i actually wanted but also found a telescopes lp that i didn't even know was due out so that was a bonus. Guess i'll just buy the rest on ebay for double/treble the price. This is all i managed to find Edited April 21, 2018 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it for £5 cheaper a few days later, and now there are still plenty knocking about on eBay £15 cheaper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Various Artists - "Themes About The House" There was a wait at Soul Brother. Had a chat in the queue. It was in the shade. Pretty people of Putney failing to control their dogs. Could have been worse. Only wanted the one. This was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
