The Chameleon Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) [color:blue]Ok, so here's the idea...someone posts a Grateful Dead trivia question. People posts answers, then the question asker confirms it being correct and the correct anwerer, posts the next question. I'll start: [color:red]Who played paino on the studio version of "To lay me down", off American Beauty? Edited June 13, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 It's a trick question. "To Lay Me Down" is not on American Beauty.Okay:Why did Mickey Hart leave The Grateful Dead for a few years, beginning in 1971? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm still awaiting confirmation from meggo on the correctness of my answer.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Allow me, Brad, if I may be so bold. I am certain you are correct, Sir.(The song, BTW, is not about Mickey being "gone"; rather about Mickey's Dad having been turfed, permanently.)

The Chameleon Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 (edited) You are right I fucked up the first question! Not a good start. What I meant to say was this : "Who played piano on The Dead song Brokedown palace off American Beauty? Sorry 'bout that.

I am certain you are correct, Sir.(The song, BTW, is not about Mickey being "gone"; rather about Mickey's Dad having been turfed, permanently.)OK, I'll ask my question:Jerry Garcia used a common model of guitar amplifier, but in a way most guitar players didn't. Which model amp was it, and what was different about how he used it?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Hi Brad,Jerry used Fender twin Reveb's. He used two of them for stereo capabiltiy and I beleive he only used them as heads, and used his own custom built cabinets. The cabinets had Roland speakers.Is that right?

bradm Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 You're close enough for me to say what I heard: yes, he used Fender Twin Reverbs, but only the pre-amp part; the output from the pre-amp was fed to a MacIntosh (tube, I think) power amplifier, and then into a custom cabinet.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chameleon Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Whoo hoo! OK I will reask my original question that I fucked up...Again: Who played piano on the song "brokedown palace" off the American Beauty Album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Easy. Howard Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 You get 1/4 points for that, A-Man: you missed Jerry Garcia, Ned Lagin, and Phil Lesh.American Beauty - CreditsAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't know..maybe if the question refered to the entire album...but it asked who played on one song.Personnel for American Beauty.Grateful Dead:Jerry Garcia - guitar, pedal steel guitar, piano, vocals Bob Weir - guitar, vocals Pig Pen (Ron McKernan) - harmonica, keyboards, vocals Phil Lesh - bass guitar, guitar, piano, vocals Bill Kreutzmann - drums Mickey Hart - percussion Additional preformers:Dave Torbert - bass on "Box of Rain" David Nelson - electric guitar on "Box of Rain" David Grisman - mandolin on "Friend of the Devil" and "Ripple" Howard Wales - organ on "Candyman" and "Truckin" and piano on "Brokedown Palace" Ned Lagin - piano on "Candyman" New Riders of the Purple Sage Robert Hunter - lyricist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I think you're actually wrong, there, Brad, and Alabama Man's right.I believe that all of those people played keys on the album, but only Howard Wales played on Brokedown Palace.As long as I'm posting right after Brad wrote that, though, I'm going to break the rules and post a relevant follow-up question...What was Ned Lagin arguably most famous for (and I don't mean among Deadheads, so I'm not referring to the Phil and Ned sets)?

bradm Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Yup, I misunderstood the question, and thought it referred to the whole record, forgetting it was just about "Brokedown Palace". My bad. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
