matt b Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I think that I may have posted this to a previous iteration of the thread, but it's worth reminding y'all what it it's really all about. From 1969 and the 1970 album 'Live Dead': one of the best live versions of "Dark Star": I remember your previous post, always nice to see another Deadhead. In my formative years I was on a quest for the "best" version of Dark Star. Eventually, of course, I figured out there's no such thing as best, but there's a lot of great ones out there. 8/27/72, 11/11/73, and 12/6/73 are 3 of my favorites, and almost anything from their European tour in 1972 is money, as well. Hell, any Dead show from '72-'74 is great, that was their best era, IMHO. It sounds like you haven't dove too far into their live stuff yet: you need to. If all you know of the Dead are there official releases then you know nothing of the Dead. Fortunately there's plenty of both free and legal ways to download, or at the very least stream almost any Dead show you could ever ask for. Here's a link to streamable shows from the live music archive, which isn't the most intuitive interface in the world, but has about the largest collection. ETA: And I'll forgive the blasphemy of not liking Workingman's Dead. I used to listen to that every Sunday morning, called it, "church." Casey Jones is pretty lame though.

broken one Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 . Mike Patton uber alles. I attended FNM concert at Opener Festival in Gdynia a month ago, I am really glad he did not mess around instead of singing as he sometimes does - it was 100% irreproachable Faith No More :bowdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

all swedes are racist Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It's an older one, but I recently picked up Trentmøller's "The Last Resort", and goddamn I am really enjoying it. Tracks seem to alternate between warm, kind of "xylophone-tone" (I don't know how else to put it) and that really cold spacy techno... But it still feels cohesive, like a movie with two separate but parallel story lines that are more intricately connected than you realize at first... Shit, I'd almost call this beautiful. Somewhere between Ivan Shmegge and Forrest Swords. The Very Last Resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disputatious Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Part of the Dead's success (musical) during the first half of the 1970's was the sound system, and in particular the "Wall of Sound" used in 1974:http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_of_Sound_(Grateful_Dead)The designer of that, Owsley Stanley, was better known for his abilities at synthesizing hallucinogens. To quote Grace Slick from her song "Mexico": you're a legend Owsley for your righteous dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sci-2 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Sci-2: that song by Bastille is nice (but the video is a little strange :)). Or maybe I'm just pleased to follow a link here and discover a band with a lead singer who can actually sing. I've followed a couple of other links and listened only to find myself thinking that those guys can't sing: who the fuck told those guys they could sing? Hey now, the video has the gorgeous Sophie Turner - how can it be bad? I don't [know] that much about Bastille, but I do like Oblivion and Pompeii.

Disputatious Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 As for a video with someone who can sing, Cathy Richardson with the current incarnation of Jefferson Starship doing "Someone to Love"and sounding damned like Gracie:http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=Yo6G0DYm59QI will shortly add a more original version from Woodstock, in which one gets Gracie herself.http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=OXKEMnDnQ4c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
