  1. Now the Grateful Dead thread has shown that we are all (?) pretty broad minded, so I think I will test the water with this one. What do you think about Dan?

    I LOVE him and recently picked uo the cd/dvd of his 60 birthday concert cum celebration. Pretty much great all the way through but to see David Laflamme and the awesome Sid Page sparring together on I Scare Myself...well words,you know, fail me...

  2. Saw him play with Boz at Hampsteads Town and Country club at the time of Boz and Band. Have a sneaking suspicion he played with more of these S:F horn bands around that time, you know, bands like Shades of Joy(Yeah I know they were from Texas).Cannot remember which ones though...

  3. Don`t know why I missed this thread till today-The Dead were THE band for me when I was a sprog.Loved it all through 72, and then became,very gradually,dissillusioned as I felt a looooong decline set in.My favourite albums were Anthem ,Aoxomoxoa and naturally Live Dead. The reason I bought a cd player was the fact that From the Vault 2 was not released on vinyl, same day I bought my first Charles Gayle and David S Ware albums.Go figure.

    Anyway I still pickup all the archive albums from my fave period, much to my partners irritation,she does not understand why I must have yet another version of Lovelight! (Same problem with Thelonius Monk!)

    Plug for the Rockin the Rhein, fantastic presence on Dark Star! :tup

  4. Uh Oh, what have I gotten myself into...bought both the Lateef and the Uppchurch/Tennyson albums, the Lateef is dreary disco funk and track 2 of the Uppchurch is Ave Maria (!) without a hint of irony and sans tongue in cheek! Unspeakable.

    Till now I have been largely happy with this series, though it has its share of clunkers- the Grant Green was awful and I steered clear of some others, but it seems that too many of these issues are from the Soul subsidiary Kudu repackaged under the parent CTI label. I for one am going to be mighty careful in future! Is this the best they can dig up? :tdown

  5. Yes, you should probably become a Dead Head. And the Golden Road has just about everything you need. And when you have digested that you can begin on the various live sets from this time period, and then..... :wacko:

    (P.S. Rocking the Rhein, 1972, recently released has an awesome Dark Star)
