Hardpan Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 On piano we have Mr. Rob Barraco. On drums on stage left, Mr. Rob Koritz. On bass and vocals, Mr. Skip Vangelas. (Thubump, thump, thump, tss, thubabump...) On rhythm guitar and vocals, Mr. Rob Eaton. On the drums on stage right, Mr. Dino English. On vocals, Mrs. Lisa Mackey. On lead guitar and vocals, Mr. Jeff Mattson. Will you welcome please, Dark Star Orchestra. Da-da, da-da... One of the best recorded moments, in my opinion. You know the band could pull it off. Who could pull off the intro, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 They've never played the show. Would make for a cool kick-off to the Jubilee 🤤🤤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted February 23, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yup. August, I think. I have a disc of that recording taken off of a bootleg album known as Imaginary Ballroom(?) my bootleg was called something else. Can’t remember, it’s gone. So is the album.

Forum MVP DesertDead Posted February 23, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Phil thinks like you do, Hardpan. He had this done at what appears to be the Grate Room at TXR. Check out that piano player. Here is the wiki page for the original show/release. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_from_the_Vault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Yep, 8/13/75 at the Great American Music Hall, One From the Vault. This was one if the first Grateful Dead CDs I owned. Probably my favorite HSF, maybe because it was one of the first shows I really listened to constantly, you know how your most listened to versions become your standard.

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted February 23, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 My bootleg was titled ‘hot as hell’, instead of make believe ballroom. Welcome to the world of bootlegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Dino Jones on drums, and on eeeeelectic guitar Jeff jones I agree that the intro would be tough to pull off. No one could match Bill Graham's perfect delivery, cadence and inflections. You can hear the good humor oozing from the recording as he introduces, "on bass and vocals, Mr. Philip Lesh" and Phil's response, equally good humored, just laying the shit down out of the thumping bass. I think the intro got the band all juiced up to deliver one of the finest HSFs ever, and a killer show to follow. I still think the band could ham it up and have fun with the intro, if they had the right announcer to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tom Banjo Posted February 25, 2019 Forum MVP Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Baracco told me Phil had him rehearse the thriller for a Halloween Phil and Friends gig. They didn’t play it at the show but I’m pretty sure Phil was doing the spoken intro to the thriller at the rehearsal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also an all-time favorite, probably because we played that CD over and over in 91/92. I think Bill Walton would do a nice job doing the intro for DSO.
