Yeah, Holly Bowling is great! One thing to cover a Dead (or Phish) song, another entirely to nail specific live versions like she does.

still playing the studio LPs, I am up to Mars Hotel
this was fascinating, are there really only three studio tracks they never played live?

Bear Owsley’s biography from a few years back is a breeze to go through. That man lived 10 lives before he turned 30.

Just here to add a third boost for Holly Bowling.
Sad that Ghost Light have broken up; her departure in December 2022 seemed to be the tipping point.

Despite being a fan of Bowling, Ghost Light never clicked for me.

Funnily enough, I'm listening to Mars Hotel right now. I bought it a few years back and forgot about it. It's not bad.

Wake of the Flood and Blues for Allah are the best (post-1970) 70s studio albums.

turns out my Blues For Allah is trashed, like VG- :(

Sorry to hear that. Side 1 is great. Side 2 is pretty good too.

@albertmiller30823 years agoThe pace of this Dark Star accelerates & decelerates perceptibly AND imperceptibly. Very unique musical expression captured for eternity here.

so in terms of studio albums, I've done american beauty, workingman dead and terrapin station. any thoughts as to what I should tackle next
― Swen, Sunday, 3 March 2024 15:50 (three months ago) link
Blues For Allah is very good.
Bob Weir’s Ace is actually a GD album that is cut from the same cloth as Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty, and it’s really good. It was recently remixed and a lot of people don’t like the new version as much.
― Cow_Art, Sunday, 3 March 2024 15:55 (three months ago) link
❤️❤️❤️❤️
― Swen, Sunday, 3 March 2024 16:02 (three months ago) link
Besides Ace (which lives up to its title), the other companion solo albums, Garcia and Mickey Hart's Rolling Thunder, are worth checking out. The former is a widely acknowledged classic, and the latter is weird in the best way.
I may be alone in this, but I think the debut is a fun Garage Rock record. In fact, I'd rep for all of the '60s albums.

I never realized until I got copies, but so many GD live classics come from Ace/Garcia.

my question is do we feel like the grateful dead and jefferson airplane ever hung out
― Swen, Sunday, 3 March 2024 16:20 (three months ago) link
Absolutely. Have you heard the first David Crosby solo album? Members of both bands on there, along with Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and others.
― il lavoro mi rovina la giornata (PBKR), Sunday, 3 March 2024 16:23 (three months ago) link
yeah they all played together in the Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra!

Jerry played steel guitar on the Volunteers album too, and was credited as "Spiritual Advisor" in the Surrealistic Pillow liners (an album he named BTW).

no shade intended to the quality of Silk Degrees, which everyone should own a near mint copy of that cost them between 50 cents and a dollar.
