There's a tape Collection, Dead & independent and just sound similar, since Phil favored that kind of The only difference here being that the note G# is used during the Tighten Up jam while he note G is used during the Beautiful jam. (I don't think it's closely related to the Tighten Up jam, though others hear it that way. Wonderful stuff. Then in October '73 it became a more full-blown structured jam, an identifiable theme in itself rather than a riff played in passing. You can learn what to listen for, though. But it does sound more like pigpen than Tom. Any help? Around 8:50 in the Dark Star, Phil starts playing what is recognizably the old Coltrane 'Greensleeves' bass line he'd used for Clementine in '68 - it's a similar phrase to what would be the '73 jazzy 6/8 riff (it's also in 6/8 meter), but at a very different tempo. https://gratefuldead.fandom.com/wiki/Tighten_Up_Jam?oldid=4166. The second-set SBD snippet on the Archive is mislabeled as being Truckin'>Nobody's Fault (deadlists repeats the error, for some reason) but it's actually the post-Eyes jam.The Sugar Magnolia in the Vault snippet isn't on the Archive copy (which cuts off just at that point), but unfortunately a big chunk of the second set is missing from the Vault - Lemieux wrote: "Unfortunately, reel #5 is missing from the vault, but what’s on reel #6 is certainly worth hearing: Jam>Bass Solo>Jam>Sugar Magnolia. And with all these jams, the Dead clearly just used the basic chords as a starting point, Garcia coming up with his own melodies. Very brief, but it fits into the moment - the Dead wouldn't make a jam out of Feelin' Groovy for months to come, so it was still just a short quote.
It's likely more little Philo Stomps turn up in the Other Ones over the next month, but I haven't checked for them yet. One listener has mentioned that the Dead's Spanish jam is closer to the popular song Malaguena than to Miles Davis' Solea (which was also based on Malaguena).
Right on! I suppose the "Proto-Turkey Dirt jam" is not much of an improvement, hmmm? This also happens to be my favorite piece that Peter Green ever played, so it's nice to see that it struck Garcia too. so it would more closely resemble the rest of the recording. I know EXACTLY what u are referring too.
But I thought it might be useful as a handy reference for others, to have all the early jams gathered together in a brief introduction. 8:50 in the Dark Star, Phil starts playing what is recognizably the old I made some adjustments on that track with Soundforge Some early 1970 Dark Stars feature another two chord pattern by Weir (A7 - G7), for instance 2/2/70 starting around 12:00.
Just the drums are with him, but when he wraps up around 10:00, he starts up the repeating 6/8 riff so common in '73 (he'd also pushed it earlier in this Dark Star), and the guitarists join in. Getting … I knew I recognized it from someplace!"
I see this was posted a while ago but I have a question. Perhaps this was one of those mysterious "early shows" that they were doing in 1970? There's one '80s interview where Mickey Hart is asked about the Spanish Jam, and reminded that it drew on a Sketches From Spain piece: "God! Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. They jam for about a minute and then Bob launches into Passenger. The Feelin' Groovy jam was just as special to the band as it is to the listener." It also appears in Rock Scully's book Living with the Dead, referring to several things: Anthem of the Sun: "In the section after 'That's It for the Other One,' we use UFO landing sounds and other strange noises. MAC > CD Analog to Digital transfer by David Howard. So, unless someone who has the show gets reminded about it & has the desire to transfer it to digital, we're out of luck. There is a jam which was called "Epilogue" on Europe '72, came in the wake of Truckin' and ahead of the Other One. (Mickey later also recorded a radio play called "The Bugs" about an insect invasion, which included music from the 11/28/73 experimental performance. He just rips it trying to make up for Jerry's absence. You can compare Weir's chords to the intro of Beginnings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S-Z4Vh1ieA or to Tighten Up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wro3bqi4Eb8 I'm on the fence, as there are resemblances to both (it's a very similar pattern), but the Tighten Up jam may actually be the Beginnings jam!
Hmm, I don't really hear it too clearly in those versions. Compare to the early "Ping Pong" riff in the Other One two nights earlier, around 9 minutes in - that one speeds along at a faster tempo, in 5/8 time (as usual in its early versions). Jerry's tone on this recording sounds nothing like the live/dead era Jerry. What do you think? Charlie 3. For MLB, the chord progression which i've found to best work in all keys (it was played in A, D and E) is A7, D/E, Dm/E, A. In the 6/10/73 Dark Star, Phil takes a bass solo before the verse, is it possible that this same riff is played in that jam?
I forgot even where that came from!
Garcia in turn adapted it into a Grateful Dead theme, which first showed up on occasion in '72, but started regularly entering the jams in fall '73. Ideologically the group have a ubiquitous appeal; free-spirited, perpetually creative and always championing the health of mind and soul over one’s body. I've assumed in the past that the jam was Weir's idea, but other than his playing the chords, there's actually no reason to think so.
It often popped up in Dark Stars of the era, notably 8/24/72 (excellent version of both the jam and DS, underrated and overlooked due to the version of three days later) and the 2/26/73 Dark Star (DP 28), likewise great versions of both. It's actually fairly close to how the Allmans would play Mountain Jam.
& Company, Under Listen to it on the weekend. Terrapin Station unravels into a Dark Star-ish pre-drums jam. Its first appearance I'm aware of was on 8/30/69, where Weir plays the chords as Garcia's changing a string during Dark Star; it gets a full band performance on 10/25/69.
All of these thematic jams that you mention are tremendous and all worth listening to. Not sure if it occured often enough to deserve its own name. Lots of great stuff on your thread here. So nice!! I didn't think that was one of the standout Mind Left Body jams; at any rate, I just listed the most notable versions here, but there's a more complete listing in my Mind Left Body post, and 12/18/73 does get covered! You mention above that there's an AUD tape from the show, and deadlists.com notes 60min. It lasts for about 30 seconds, and no one picks it up, but its pretty clear.This period of 1969 seems to be a trasitional phase, as Dark Stars often have a longer improvisational section between the verses, less reliant on the same 'set pieces' they employed earlier in the month. comment that was made earlier in the song.-Rob.
