CRAZY FINGERS

I have joined the legions across the country who have fallen in love with the Barton Hills Choir. These Austin kids, under the direction of Gavin Tabone, have a whole CD of Grateful Dead songs, and they also perform music by other rock acts in addition to the usual show tunes, etc.

Gavin invited me to do a guitar overdub on “Eyes of the World” (which will appear on their next album), and I’m also going to perform with the group at their annual concert in Austin on the afternoon of December 2 (which means I get to see Dead & Company that night!).

Grateful Dead Hour no. 1520

Sunday, November 5th, 2017

Week of November 6, 2017

Part 1 26:48
Mickey Hart, RAMU (Verve Forecast)
BIG BAD WOLF
Grateful Dead, Dave’s Picks vol. 24 (8/25/72) (Rhino)
BIRD SONG
SUGAR MAGNOLIA

Part 2 28:51
Grateful Dead 9/19/70 Fillmore East, New York City
DARK STAR

New release from Mickey Hart (read more about it here), and two samples of the already-sold-out Dave’s Picks vol 24. I’ve already subscribed to next year’s quarterly series; you can do the same at dead.net.

Some years ago, a friend who once worked on the Fillmore East stage crew brought me some reels to digitize. One of them was the last reel of 9/19/70, and its contents turned out to be one of my all-time favorite pieces of Grateful Dead music. I recently sent this tape to Dave Glasser, the audio mastering wizard at Airshow in Boulder, Colorado, and he applied his considerable skills to the task of making it sound even better. This week we hear a transcendent “Dark Star,” with a sweet digression into The Youngbloods’ “Darkness, Darkness” and a bit of “China Cat Sunflower”; next week wel” hear the rest of the jam, which includes the justly legendary “Pigpen, did you say ‘fuck’?” exchange with Bob Weir.

Enjoy!
