I’m 76 years old today and this popped up on my feed - it made me feel grateful to be alive and brought back some great memories of the music of the late 60’s and early 70’s. Good times!
The beauty of this is that musicians in the 60's and 70's actually hung out together and jammed, which pushed them all in new directoins and created sounds that were decidedly different from what each band did on their own. Listening to Jerry Garcia stretch his playing to fit Crosby's freestyle method of writing and Crosby/Nash's unique vocal delivery is magical.
This makes me miss my Dad. Thanks for the knowledge Pops. I'll never forget the night my friends and I got into your records....and you came home to Iron Butterfly blasting....I miss you Dad. So many unseen camp fires....always on my mind.
For those of us who were at least 13 in 1963, to closely follow and appreciate Anglo American music from then through the 70's was richly rewarding. Jazz, folk, bluegrass and rock and roll progressed in amazing, unheard of directions. You had to be there.
I'm a full ten years behind that era, but some of us felt it enough so that it was easier to catch up to it in the late 70's. But you are right, there has never been a musical progression as distinct and meaningful as the generation that encompassed 1950-95
I was thirteen in '69, when I dropped acid and discovered the Grateful Dead. "There" was still happening, you could follow it on tour. And the PERRO albums were in regular rotation. Go ride the music! 🙂☮❤
I was seventeen at the time and my dad was the only white employee at WQRS in Detroit. I will never forget Frantic Ernie Durham and jolting Joe Howard.
More in a Crosby 2-3 CD album. Incl a live Train robbery song. Sorry. Gentrified Homeless in miami. Lost 1000s of LPs, cds, cassettes. I was a live concert recorder for years. The Crosby concert i am pretty sure disappearef i d. Live in a club by FLL Beach. He was suffering. People really got into his acoustic set and David thought he was getting rejectsheded. Yet it was all great. Last tour in hallandale fl my own homelessness blues did not allow me out. Last chance. If I could only remember needs to be redone. At least 3 disc including outtakes like this one. A contemporary concert. 5.1 mix.... not treating this work with due respect explains man6 of our current terrible situation. Our humanity is diminished. Hare Krishna, jgl
Yeah, Chicago had a number of "underground" FM stations that played whole album side jams and all kinds of great stuff you would never get on AM or commercial stations.
The timing of this says it came.from David's Library, and he probably never intended to release this. Fun to be.a.fly on the wall for a few minutes even though we weren't invited!!!
David Crosby was a gem. He gathered around musicians who really connected during jams. If only I could remember my name is one of my fave Lp's. This has tracks that should be included in on that piece. The vocals and guitars are so smooth. Thanks for posting.🖤🖤🖤
Wow, I used to have a scratchy bootlegged copy of this as a filler on one of my dead bootleg cassettes. Always loved it. Great to hear it as it should be heard.
I know that early 70s bass tone from miles away.. the Guild starfire with Pyramid Gold flatwound strings, truly classic! The music back then was fueled by Lucy in everyway, Make Music Great Again!
Stills was/ is a master musician but I have liked a lot of Crosby’s songs for over 50 years and he still wrote interesting songs well into his 70s. Nice to hear Garcia too.
I can’t remember the last time I was stopped in my tracks by such, what is to me, musical brilliance. Fills me with joy to hear this. 🥰 Thank you! Classic stuff.
It is cool because this regularly happened like on albums half of the psych albums have a list of names of who stopped by after 68. Or checking out each other's seesion
It makes one wonder if this was the sound Jerry was after with all of those iterations of JGB? This seemed to come together so effortlessly but it's absolutely breathtaking sound. Wish he could have jammed with Crosby more. First I heard them together
Interesting. Agreed - wish they did more together. This flows so effortlessly. Helps my mind move to a calmer place when I’m “white knuckling” one of those anxiety producing few hours marching through my “(Have to) To Do Lists”. A peaceful heart begins to override the angst from the “have to’s” which find a different position on my Plan for this 24 hours. It’s all I’ve got 👍☀️🌿🌷🌿
What a Session!!!!!!!! I return to these freakuently. Thank Gnu for reminding me to not forget to remember.❤ 😊 Electric bat needs its own emoji: sonar activated.😅
Wow so many legends just jamming and singing on this track!!! I’m so jealous of everyone from this time period who got to experience this amazing music!!! I was born way too late!
I bought a CDR of this by mail from the States in the 90's, it had other stuff, one I remember is Mountain Song. Which was a highlight. "Gonna let the mountains be my home", great vocals.
This is one of the one most beautiful thing I ever heard, specially that Shuffle jam, blow my head off! I'm 40 years old, and I feel so jelous of you guys that lived on those glory days of music. Thank you for upload this for
After 3-4 disco albums - which I still listen to - lol - I was able to stop my "My collection needs this album" buying. Pretty much for good until the later remastered versions of old guys collection of albums. Love this sound. Like NRPS. Dirty business. Thanks for sharing this.
Very good job putting this together, the commingling of music, musicianship, sound mixing, the equipment, all of it coming together for our auditory enjoyment.
Finding this in my feed this morning made me happy. Thanks for sharing. Love it! The background conversation at Dope Wrap around 16:00 is a funny candid capture of these guys having a friendly argument about who is going to go get the “weed” and who’s driving there, underneath that piano riff is hilarious. If you pan to just the right channel you can hear it more clearly! The following instrumental jam session “Shuffle” is amazing 👍
Wow, I love it. Fan of CSN & Y fan from '73, I was 22 at the time. There's a movie playing in my head as I hear this through my headphones starring a beautiful slim girl in a miniskirt. She's still my wife.
Wow, Didn't know this existed. I will be 60 years old this year and got to see the Grateful Dead and JGB from 1985-1995. This is a treat, ThankYou🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think Jerry had much nicer guitar tone when he played Gibsons than he did with all those later custom built super bright super clean twangy sounding guitars. So much warmer and fuller with the Gibsons .
Tinha 20 anos na época e adquiri os vinis de Bufallo Springfields e Traffic ,(Chrosby et García)..enriqueci minha forma de tocar minha guitarra e nosso repertório (tbm com base em Beatles, Stones, Credence e C. Stevens e mtos outros Stars
