GD 1975 Studio unearthing

That's cool, someone should ask Phil about it.

sweet! I had the 2 part version (on cassette!) but this is much nicer. Reminds me of the terrapin recording out takes. thx

Some of those '75 session jams were pretty out there, and different from the kind of jamming they do on stage. More relaxed and exploratory.

 

Sometimes I think Jerry's infamous stage fright curtailed his jamming abilities.

thanks

Check out the rest of this guy's stuff on the Archive.

Sounds great!

 

Thanks!

The sound is so good on this! King Solomon's Marbles somewhere around the 9:00 mark. Yowzers!

Nice.

 

I was early for work.  Got caught up in listening and ended up logging in late.

god bless matt vernon. used to get shows (B&P's)  directly from him when i came to the zone. guess it got kind of overwhelming then the vines started. my collection grew rapidly.

Just look up Grateful Dead 1975 on the Archive and you will find a treasure trove of great rehearsal tapes from Bobby's studio.

Listen to all the Ace's Studio's and Club Front tapes.

Some great quality and interesting jams.

 

This is a good one:

Matt Vernon used to do those whole spindle (50 at a time) b&ps. that was great, getting a whole q tour in one package

Gnarly

listening to op link , thanks. Starts dark.

I assume adding the Crickets was Mickey's idea, which was brilliant.
