Grateful Dead - Dave’s Picks Vol. 4 (1976-09-24 Williamsburg, VA)

The Dead had played a pair of fine shows at William & Mary—located in the history-rich town of Williamsburg, Virginia (raise your hand if you own a three-cornered hat from your visit to Colonial Williamsburg when you were 10)—three years earlier (9/11-12/73), and obviously dug the vibe enough to warrant a return during one of their “comeback†tours following their hiatus. The concert at William & Mary Hall was the second show of the Dead’s brief fall East and Midwest swing, and it stands as one of the strongest outings from this period—its best moments up to the level of the following 9/25 and 9/28 shows that made up the superb Dick’s Picks Vol. 20 (released in 2001) and the October 9 and 10 Oakland Stadium shows that became Dicks Picks Vol. 33 (2004).

The first set is packed with goodies. The bouncy “Sugaree†stretches to about 10 minutes, and “Looks Like Rain†is a true thing of beauty. “Cassidy†finds Bob and Donna in lovely harmony, while “Big River†has plenty of kick. But the real gold in this first set is to be found in the 21-minute closing sequence of “Playing in the Band†> “Supplication†> “Playing†reprise. This was one of only two times in the Dead’s history that the full, sung “Supplication†appeared without its usual partner, “Lazy Lightning,†and it’s a wonderful version. It emerges quite naturally out of one of those drifty but intense “Playing†jams so characteristic of ’76, builds nicely, and then goes full-throttle for a couple of minutes, before floating back to the “Playing.†Niiiiice!

Following one of Bob’s more humorous exhortations to “take a step back†(in which he urges folks to give each other a sharp jab with their elbows) the band kicks into the still-new “Might As Well,†followed by another ’76 introduction, “Samson and Delilah.†A couple of songs later, they roll into “Help on the Way†> “Slipknot!†and the latter finds the whole band conversing at a very high level as they negotiate that piece’s many strange turns. Bill and Mickey take over for a spell before the whole ensemble reconvenes for a breakneck return to “Slipknot!†and then a loping entrance into “Franklin’s Tower.†“The Music Never Stopped†surprises coming out of “Franklin’s†and then Jerry pilots an emotional “Stella Blueâ€; another highlight. A couple of rockers bring the show to satisfying end. - BJ

Allman Brothers Band — 12/31/1973 (With Jerry Garcia, Billy Kreutzman & Boz Scaggs)

Okay folks, here we find the Allman Brothers playing at The Cow Palace on New Years Eve, 1973. With 1974 threatening and some help from their some friends, the Allman Brothers pull together a truly amazing show. This show was performed in the ominous shadow of their two fallen brethren, Duane Allman and Berry Oakley and was broadcast nationwide with assistance from Bill Graham, who made the arrangements. The Grateful Dead were on hiatus, so a few of the fellas decided to mosy on down to The Cow Palace and pitch in for the good of the cause. This was a mere five months after the Summer Jam At Watkins Glen, which saw roughly 600,000 fans catch The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead and The Band. Dickey Betts was largely controlling the course for the Allman’s at this point and performs some classics here: Blue Sky, Midnight Rider and Ramblin’ Man. These are primo soundboards of a legendary time and show.

Gregg Allman – lead vocals, organ, electric piano

Dickey Betts – lead guitar, slide guitar

Shuggie's coming out of obscurity and touring early in the new year. I'm going to try to hit up his show in Toronto.

http://bit.ly/VEb2aI

Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information

Ignored upon its release in 1974 and celebrated upon its reissue in 2001, Shuggie Otis’ fourth and last album Inspiration Information exists out of time — a record that was of its time, but didn’t belong of it; a record that was idiosyncratic but not necessarily visionary. It was psychedelic soul that was released far too late to be part of any zeitgeist and it was buried at the time. Yet no matter what Luaka Bop’s grand poobah David Byrne claims on the sticker — he says Shuggie’s “trippy R&B jams are equal to Marvin’s and Curtis’, but somehow more contemporary sounding…closer to D’Angelo meets DJ Shadow†— this isn’t revolutionary. It can occasionally sound modern, such as on the rolling head trip “XL-30,†but only because it’s the kind of groove Shadow would sample and build on; the slow, liquid instrumental head trips sound the same way. Perhaps that’s why it can seem more contemporary — contemporary ears are more attuned to these relaxed, warmly trippy soundscapes. Otis crafted all of this essentially alone, playing each instrument himself, and it’s quite clearly a reflection of his inner psyche, and no matter how much it floats and skates upon its own sound, it’s a welcoming, inviting sound. But, no matter how much the partisans claim — and their effusive praise is plastered all over the liner notes, with Sean O’Hagan claiming that it shocks you out of a rut, Stereolab’s Tim Gane says it is “almost like a new style of music that could’ve developed but never did†— this isn’t revolutionary, even if it’s delightfully idiosyncratic. So, don’t fall for the hyperbole. This isn’t an album that knocks your head off — it’s subtle, intricate music that’s equal parts head music and elegant funk, a record that slowly works its way under your skin. Part of the reason it sounds so intriguing in 2001 is that there just aren’t that many musicians that doggedly pursue their individual vision while retaining a sense of focus. But it isn’t a record without precedent, nor is it startling. It’s a record for people that have heard a lot of music, maybe too much, and are looking for a new musical romance. [Luaka Bop’s reissue contains four fine bonus tracks, including the original version of “Strawberry Letter 23,†which the Brothers Johnson later had a hit with. The reissue also replaces the original cover — which is nowhere to be seen in the liner notes — with a “hip,†self-consciously retro cover. Also, it has put in the “World Psychedelic Classics†with Os Mutantes, which is slightly misleading and a little unsettling — with that subheading, there’s just a little too much self-conscious, scholarly distance at play.] - Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Bob Dylan

Minnesota Party Tape

1961-05-00 - 1961-12-22

Original analog source (via Tony Glover, 1961) > CD bootleg > SHN

Recorded by Tony Glover (of Koerner, Ray & Glover) during informal

sessions where Dylan played for some friends, these Minnesota tapes offer

us a more accurate - and in some ways, more entertaining - aural snapshot

of Bob Dylan's early repertoire than anything Columbia would release. As

a seeming antitheses to any of the spontaneity shown amongst friends, his

debut album sounds barren by comparison.
