Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

I enjoyed this trip, The Other One was a definite highlight for me. Never heard Pig do "It's a Man World, nice treat. Wow definitely moved by the jams from this show. The jam around the five minute mark of Dancin' reminded me of an early Chicago hit. After a little trip to the Grateful Dead Guide, learned it's called the Tighten Up jam. That Santanaesque jam in the middle of TOO was outstanding. Grateful Dead Guide says, and I quote,"It's one of the Dead's most unique jams, coming out of nowhere and never played again." The article also pointed to another article about special guest performers (Guitar, Organ, Congas) for that jam. Check out (http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2010/05/april-15-1970-winterland-san-f…) Anyone can fill in the details? Having done this short search, wondered why this was not mentioned in the liner notes???

This was my second Dead show; although I had seen the band the previous October, I wasn't psychedelic or with other Deadheads (that word didn't exist then, but it's the only word that will do the job now). This was the show where I got on the bus, as recorded in my friend Doug's Dead journal. It was the eve of my 19th birthday, but (unusually) the Dead came on after the Airplane, so I had turned 19 by the time the spell was cast. Quicksilver opened the show, and I was lucky enough to recently acquire the Quicksilver set and the Airplane's set — I've had most of the Dead's set for many years. To have a nearly complete soundboard of the entire concert of my first Dead show; is that a taper's dream, or what? So how was the show? I remember standing across street from Winterland, when I was able to have some coherent thoughts, and thinking a lot of the improvisational music the Dead played that night was exactly like music that had been inside me since before I learned to play the guitar. A formless, nameless noise of beauty like nothing I'd ever heard, yet recognized as soon as I heard it. They were playing that same music from inside my head that I couldn't yet play myself, and had never heard anywhere in the world before that night. Two things were clear — these men were magicians, and I'd be back for more.

I like to know what happened on any givin night the dead played and had heard rumors the Airplane also played this night along with maybe another band so I am posting this from suragmegs.Jefferson Airplane 4/15/70 Winterland-San Francisco, CA Disc 1: We Can Be Together, Mexico, Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon, Other Side of This Life, Audience, Greasy Heart, Crown of Creation, Come Back Baby Disc 2: Emergency, Have You Seen the Saucers, Somebody to Love, Wooden Ships, Audience, 3/5 of a Mile in One Second, Volunteers Quicksilver Messenger Service Winterland, San Francisco, CA 04/15/1970 source: d1 - unknown sbd d2 - unknown aud d1 1 Subway 2 Too Far 3 Warm Red Wine 4 The Truth 5 Mona 6 Long Haired Lady 7 Mojo 8 Pride Of Man 9 Edward The Mad Shirt Grinder d2 1 Who Do You Love > jam > Who Do You Love
