You know what they say: “Don’t read the books if you don’t want to know.”
OK, I’ve never heard anyone actually say that, but I’ve been reading a lot of Grateful Dead material lately. I read Phil Lesh’s book, then Billy’s book, and now I’m reading Garcia: An American Life. Anyway, Billy’s book left me conflicted. On one hand, you read the book to hear the thoughts of the people involved, and then sometimes you’re sorry you did.
But whatever I may have thought of the book of the personality Billy projected through it, he has been behind the drumkit for some of my most favorite music ever. Bill Kreutzmann recently celebrated his 75th birthday with a string of three live-streamed show with his band Billy and the Kids. Two of those shows have appeared at the Live Music Archive and are definitely worth your time and I wish him nothing but the best and I wish everyday was Bill Kreutzmann’s birthday, because all of this is great.
As if Billy on drums, Reed Mathis on bass and Billy Strings wasn’t enough, how about saxophone?! No? Still not enough? How about appearances from Santana?! If that’s not enough, you’re in the wrong place. Anyway, here’s the two live sets from the Archive and some videos that I’ve been hanging out with.

I have this playlist on my laptop called “Mix: Home Listening.” It’s currently at 1,331 songs. When our family is just hanging around the house, or especially when Kristi and I cook, we put that playlist on shuffle and just hope for the best. Well, not really, since everything in that playlist is hand-picked.
There are some evenings when my wife and I will look at each other and just wish we could have that same mix of music that just came up to enjoy later on. So, some time ago, I started keeping track of some of the evenings we really liked and I started making mixes of them for the car or just to re-play. We don’t replay them often, but since I have several of them, I thought: why not share them with my Holiday at the Sea online friends and family.
I do pick the first song but from then on out, it’s all shuffle. We’ve been making these mixes about an hour to an hour-and-a-half since that’s what will fit on a blank CD. So, it has to be on shuffle and play good songs for at least an hour. If I skip a song, then the whole mix is thrown out.
I’m not sure how many of these mixes I will end up posting, but I’ve got several ready to go, so I figured that now is as good a time as any. I hope you enjoy and that these songs accompany as many good family times for you as they have for us.
Enjoy.

Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead’s six-night run at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, Billy Strings recently held a series of crowdless performances billed as the “Deja Vu Experiment.”
The Grateful Dead famously conduced the “ESP Experiments” at these shows, “prompting Deadheads in the audience to focus on imagery shown by the band and telepathically send the imagery to a test subject.” (From the Capitol Theatre website). Strings also asked viewers to project their own images of Leftover Salmon’s Vince Herman with questionable results.
Anyway, all that to say, that, for many the highlight of it all was: “Help on the Way/Slipknot/Franklin’s Tower/Brokedown Palace.”
All of THAT to say, watch this:
If you don’t know, Dave Pike, was a jazz vibraphone and marimba player.
Sorry, I don’t know anything about this one or have the setlist. I think this was on Belgian TV, but what do I know.
It’s worth your time.

I haven’t visited my old tape-trading days (though I had this one on CDR) in quite a while. I remember listening to this CDR for the first time. I won’t share the details except to say that it was one of my favorite live recordings for a long time.
Full soundboard recording from the Aloha Tower in Honolulu - September 26, 1991. Second night of a two-night run and the last to feature the original lineup until 2008. Apparently, band members got nude.
Enjoy.

Thin Lizzy :: Live at Sydney Opera House, 10/78.
From the Youtbue Page:
“In October of 1978 more than 26,000 screaming fan packed the Sydney Opera House in Australia for an unforgettable concert. Thin Lizzy's lineup for this show was Phil Lynott (Vocals/bass), Gary Moore (Guitars), Scott Gorham (Guitars) and Mark Nauseef (Drums).”
Again, no setlist for this one, though I imagine is out there somewhere. Please let me know if you find it.

From the Youtube page:
[NOTE: The "Body Heat" DVD - released in 1989 - is the exact same thing as the VHS tape entitled "The Lost James Brown Tapes." In fact, the company that released this DVD didn't even bother to re-do the titles sequence--it still reads "Lost James Brown Tapes." The good news is that, even though the picture quality is only marginally improved from the VHS version, the sound quality is markedly better. AND, I'm not sure whether THIS video came from the VHS or DVD version.]
