You can still get the McGree's disc from GDM. BTW, I don't have it. Is it worth getting?

The '66 disc is fantastic! I can't believe some people write it off without checking it out. Livingston, the McCree's disc is a great representation of that time period, and in far better quality than anything that circulates, as well!

I still have to get that MMUGC disc as well.
It looks like it's available for download also.

I'm really starting to like this CD alot. I do agree that it's not the full on LIVE DEAD sound, but it's still very Dead like with Pig's Harmonica and Jerry's fire leads.

Just got my copy in this morning and am really enjoying it. I also have several shows from 66, but it's nice to hear the material with the Jeffrey Norman touch. I also found it interesting reading DL2's liner notes about other tapes that Bear had/has - like the Trips Festival. Those would be nice to hear someday.
What really strikes me as amusing, though, is realizing that this phase is when the band was dosing intensely and consistenly over and over again. You'd expect ultra mind-blowing tunes - but I guess the acid was just fertilizing the neurological and musical soil for the grateness that was to follow.

The opposite of courage is not so much fear as it is conformity. |

Yes, it's similar to Beat It On Down The Line.

"All Your Teabag Are Belong To Us. (Morans!)" |

Just heard it this weekend. An excellent album, and well worth picking up if you've any interest whatsoever in early-model Grateful Dead.
(And all you Honeymooners fans will get a kick out of... well, you'll know it when you hear it!) ;^)

...it's the aura of the Rolling Stones that weighs most heavily upon the Grateful Dead throughout Rare Cuts & Oddities...
Definitely, and throughout most of '66. And Rare Cuts also displays the Will Shade/jugband influence in Big Boss Man, so you get a little bit of everything here- pop, jug, blues...the Proto-Primal!

Lets play Twister,Lets play Risk... |

just relistened to this, while walking the dog,with the headphones. Its clear even from these early recording that jerry was going to be GREAT. Its fun to think what some of the other big bands were doing during the same time frame.the Beatles,Stones,Who,Kinks...etc..Also thank God Hunter came along to write songs and dosnt jerrys early playing sound alot like Mike Bloomfield?
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and the old man never was the same again. |
|
|
Regarding Hunter, thank god indeed! Judging by Garcia's "I'd rather be throwing cards into a hat" attitude towards songwriting anyway, it's hard to imagine he would have been very prolific on his own. And Hunter's lyrics. He's up there with the best of them IMO.

Yes he did sound a bit like Bloomfield in those days. Bloomfield said at the time he thought Jerry was trying to play exactly like himself but did say he realised Jerry came to be that way by himself. Something like that. It's in Blair's Garcia book.
I'm struggling to find reasons as to why this has been released to be honest. Is this scraping the barrel? Seems just for the sake of it. Birth of the Dead was fine release that touched in detail that time but this seems filler to me.

wow i dont see this as filler at all. It is what it is certainly not for everybody. I remember Dick mentioning that there were unlabled boxes of old reels that would make a nice compilation at some point.I plan on rereading Blairs book this summer ill look for the Bloomfield part.
