Forum MVP John A Posted March 9, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Yeah, you'd like to think they're leading up to the, "so what do you think of this 50th reunion at Soldiers" type of questioning. But maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted March 9, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Or maybe what do you plan to do to celebrate 50 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP PoetryGirl Posted March 10, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 There is a Big Bird art piece of Jerry's depicted in a link on the Hunter article. I especially got a kick out of Hunter saying they didn't get much from him on the psych piece for hypnosis. And who knew a jug could be such a momentous piece in directing your life? Just think, a gal brought those together for a lifelong relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted March 12, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 ...., does anyone know if the pizza tapes were made right before JG passed? Winki says, " In February 1993, Grisman was playing with Rice and invited Garcia to his studio. Over the nights of February 4 and February 5, the trio recorded what would be known as The Pizza Tapes.

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted March 12, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Just read that Wimki also says....."In 2010, Grisman's online label Acoustic Oasis released The Pizza Tapes: Extra Large Edition offering 170 minutes of music, including 16 previously unissued alternate takes in addition to the original master takes in their original sequence. In addition to new music, the expanded edition also features more of the personal repartee that characterized the initial release." Amazon lists this "The Pizza Tapes: Extra Large Edition" for $27....just added to my whis list. Peace, Love and Good Music for this Thursday Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace, Love and Good Music for this Thursday Doc If you are so inclined, you could download this for 23.70 (flacs - MP3's for 18.95) from the Acoustic Oasis site: http://www.acousticoasisdownloads.com/music/0,4776/Jerry-Garcia,-Dav%20id-Grisman---Tony-Rice-mp3-flac-download-The-Complete-Pizza-Tapes.html Jerry was in a good and happy place when these sessions went down - the music clearly reveals this. Man of Constant sorrow and Long Black Veil from the original release are just fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted March 13, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 ... you could download this ...: Thanks for the tip, Tea. Now that I got a new computer to replace the old and very slow one I could download but I prefer to have an actual CD with the case. I'll probably get it from David Grisman's site, "Accoustic Disk" (is that the same as the previously mentioned Accoustic Oasis? ). I feel its better to support artists directly if possible. Peace, Love, and Good Luck on this Friday the 13th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP found Posted March 19, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 I love Drifting Too Far From The Shore and when he runs through the first verse of Always Late. Shady Jam>Grove and So What make for some good interplay but honestly Jerry's vocals on this are absolutely stunning. You can't listen to it and not be filled with pure joy. Everything about it is soooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted March 20, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Currently Toni Rice is having health problems and has set up for people to donate $10.00 while he tries to keep his arthritis down and be able to play another show. Apparently he's always been very generous with any musician who's joined him on stage, now he needs a little help just to keep the lights on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Michael Doc Watson Posted March 20, 2015 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 "Drifting to Far from the Shore" was also covered by Bob Dylan. I think it's on the very first album Dylan put out. In Martin Scorsese's film, "No Direction Home" they say that the young Bob Zimmerman listened to the song on an old 78 in the basement of his home in Minnesota. It's implyed that Dylan was much infulenced by " Drifting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
