on this week’s "blues for allah" deadcast, @sg-marshall.bsky.social & i attempt to untie “slipknot!” & explore the grateful dead’s harmonic & personal ambiguity in early 1975. were they even a band or a “more or less permanent musical association” as jerry garcia put it? www.dead.net/deadcast/blu...
Loved "Schrodinger's Dead"
this deadcast lingers in march '75, hanging out at ned lagin’s birthday jam with @thedavidcrosby.twitter.com & others, & unpacking the dead’s semi-reluctant 8-musician return at the SNACK benefit, where they debuted a piece they were then calling “space age” www.dead.net/deadcast/blu...
dept. of corrections: it turns out the wild odd-metered jam on ned's birthday session is actually a lagin piece titled "no name" (as in "feral cat, unknown name," in ned's description). track 6 here, if you'd like to update your j-cards: archive.org/details/gd75...
Haven't finished but enjoying...wish croz made the SNACK!
