From more than 50 years ago: No guitars, but strings and very primitive synthesizers (pre-Moog) - way ahead of their time, including the lyrics.

Sorry, no video - they only lasted for one LP.

These guys are to the Celts as Amon Amarth is to the Vikings....a blend of metal with ancient culture....

I've actually learned quite a bit about mythology and history from both bands.

Barry Gibbs "Greenfields" album where he teams up doing Bee Gees songs with Nashville stars.

 

Bee Gees are seriously underrated in their late 60's/early 70's work. Superb craftsmen of pop songs.

It is amazing how many songs they have written for other artists.

 

They were like Lorenzo Alexander repeatedly remaking themselves.

Grateful Dead at their peak (imo), 1989

 

 


Most concurr that The Dead’s best live show was on 5/8/77 at Cornell University’s Barton Hall.

I cannot concurr, since I did not arrive at Cornell until the Fall of 1977.

 

(Though I did see some great concerts while I was there - Linda Ronstadt, Wet Willie, The Pretenders, Warren Zevon, et al 😎)

 

Living in San Francisco from 1990-1997 gave me plenty of opportunities to see Jerry Garcia in smaller intimate venues, like this one I did attend at SF’s Warfield Theater in 1991...

 

 

 

 

When he died, it was like a President had passed...the city closed and was in mourning for a week.  That body looked a lot older than 53 years! 🍺

I saw Kingfish live in a relatively small club in Nassau County called "My Father's Place"  around that time. The Dead had split up for a while around that time. It was great "beyond description" lol.

Real Dead Fans would hate me for this but I think that Weir's work with Kingfish was at least as good as what he did with the Dead.
