Seeing as I can't afford a CD player for the truck at this time (just have a crappy AM/FM radio plugged into the lighter for now), I'll tell you what is sitting on top of the CD player at home:

1. Diesel Dog - Live At the Lanc (of course)

2. Various - Make Jazz Not War (Yo gave me this disc at CTMF and it's a great compilation)

3. Ben Harper - Diamonds on the Inside (musically, all over the map)

4. Jack Johnson - On and On (Mags loves it)

5. Wassabbi Collective - Masquarade Sessions (one hour of wildness, grrrr)

I haven't heard of this one, and a quick Google search on the title didn't give anything useful. Who's on it, and what are the tracks?

Thanks,

Brad

Led Zeppelin - How The West Was Won & Boxed Set 2

* 'nuff said

The Kindly Ones - Edge of My Skin

* friends of mine from Toronto, very raw stuff with more than a hint of 80s goth-pop, particularly in the vocals

Hiway Freeker - Shark

* fast becoming one of my fave bands, wish I could be there for the seamless sets with nero!

Peace,

Mr. M.

Look no further, it's a must own for any self-righteous Deadhead. I have been FLOORED by this. Hence, I am on a 4 cd kick. Thank you for the point-in-the-right-direction DogAtTheStation!

Grateful Dead and Arista Records are proud to present a spectacular new four-CD collection of previously unreleased recordings from the 1972 Europe Tour. The title? What else? Steppin’ Out with the Grateful Dead.

-

The selections on Steppin’ Out are drawn exclusively from the Dead’s stops in England, which accounted for more than a third (and some of the very best) of the tour’s 22 shows. As you can tell from their enthusiastic response here, British audiences had been clamoring for a visit from the Dead for some time, and the band rewarded the UK fans’ patience with terrific performances, characterized by tight, purposeful playing and adventurous jamming. Heard in this set are fine renditions of some of the staples of the Dead’s early-70s repertoire, standbys from their earlier years and a few real rarities, including a couple of songs never released on any Grateful Dead album until now: a rollicking version of Huey “Piano” Smith’s “Rockin’ Pneumonia;” and a short but sweet take on the former Ellis McDaniels’ famous ode to himself, “Hey Bo Diddley.”

It’s the closest you can get to Europe in ’72 without a passport and a time machine.

Actually Zimmerman, I don't agree with callling The Stone Roses a " Pop Jam Band ". They were firmly planted in the Britpop, alternative rock, power-pop genres of the late 80s and early 90s. They have a lot more in common with bands like the Charlatans UK, Happy Mondays, The Smiths, Suede and Morrissey. When I listen to them, I can certainly hear their influences too: The Kinks, Zeppelin, Beatles and The Who, with a dash of electonica for good measure. Still, I love power-pop and the Stone Roses were an important band in the early 90s.

The Stone Roses were an *excellent* band - or, at least, the first album was excellent, anyway...

As for the Merriweather show, I was at that one - I can remember the crowd went absolutely *nuts* when they started playing Sabotage. Of course, as crazy as it was, it was nothing like the reaction the night before when they broke out Terrapin Station - the cheering was deafening, and wnet on for about two minutes.

Summer '98 was a fun tour... [big Grin]
