One Newcastle Please, 1972-04-11, Jerry Says No Drugs For Bobby

<

So Jerry had a great interview in the famous City Hall of Newcastle. this is just a vision add-on to the 2014 piece in .http://deadsources.blogspot.com/2014/09/april-11-1972-jerry-garcia-interview.html

 He must have been in a good mood at the band jumped into an 18 song first set. I loved when the 72 Dead would play China>Rider, then Playing In The Band, and then five more songs

Jerry talks about every groovy 1972 thing from the I-Ching to which members don't take drugs, to the Hog Farm, to The Band, to Kesey. Very fun day ahead for you folks.

Oh, you might want to listen to the Truckin>The Other One>Comes A Times>Sugar Mag thing too.

We're Gonna Be Here For A Long Time, And Just Play Any Old Thing Show, April 11, 1969 Tucson

After opening the month with three days at the Avalon, the Dead started their April cross-country tour with a show at the U of A for 2,600 rock-starved Arizona fans.

This show almost never happened as University of Arizona repeatedly blocked efforts for the show to occur earlier in the year.  Luckily the band got this gig in before heading to Salt Lake City for a rare Utah appearance.  It is rumored that this is where Bobby saw a color TV in every room (not).

The Crytical>It's A Sin is quite good.

According to Deadbase, the tape is incomplete.  The show was something like this  

Morning Dew Sittin' On Top Of The World The Other One > Cryptical Envelopment  > It's A Sin Hard To Handle

 Dark Star > St. Stephen  > The Eleven  > Turn On Your Love Light

You can hear whats's available here.  I do love the Arizona Daily Star review and nice ad for the show, $2 and $3 tickets.

The New York Times Comments on The Grateful Dead, 1989-1995

Here is an interesting look at how The New York Times viewed and reviewed the Grateful Dead from 1989 to 1995.  Read the Paper of Record and not my words today.

First of 29, Landover July 29, 1974

Obviously because its Summer 1974, this show is extra groovy with plenty of everything for everybody but stay for the He's Gone-> Truckin'-> Nobody's Fault But Mine-> The Other One->  Spanish Jam-> Wharf Rat->Around & Around. You can pay $400 on ebay for the bonus disc on Dave's Picks 2 or simply listen to Charlie Miller's take.

Nice when the Washington Post, our hero today, kicks in with a fine analysis of the show. Grab the music here

50-Year Fillmore Flashback: 1968's The Who vs. The Dead

Relax is a little Roger Daltry tune ruinning 2:41 on The Who: Sell Out which was released December 15, 1967. It starts to rock out at the 2:00 mark, but before that it feels like a dud.

But like their brothers in San Francisco, The Who knew what to do when they took it live.

This week, The Who released a 1968 Live at the Fillmore East from April 6.


Now listen to this tune, or better yet, listen to the one here.

The Dead around this time also started to play at the Fillmore East, mid June to be precise.

Now our heroes also were about to release a new LP called Anthem to the Sun, happy 50th boys.

which we all know featured songs up there in the 10 minute length and would soon go longer.

For example, Dark Star, the single ran 2:44, about the same length as Relax.
A funny little ditty with banjo et al.


But by Summer, the same tune would run 14 minutes, while at that Fillmore run, Caution would go more than 23 min.

Fun and enjoyment in your study of the Dead
