I like listening to whole live shows. It's almost the only thing I listen too, actually. A complete show is like a whole new album in a way, especially with a Grateful Dead music, and it's surrounding bands. The question for us deadheads isn't 'can you commit to 45 min', it's more like 'can you dance for 2 hours 45 min?'

Here is a good one: Grateful Dead @ the Auditorium Theater, Chicago 5/13/1977

I listened to this show today, while transplanting veggies. Good stuff.

SS and I always listen to the live shows you post on instagram (what the frig!? That is networking does to a brain) I mean What music are you listening to?

 

 

 I hear you guys. Honestly I Love it all! Albums, mix's, LIVE for sure. Ah, when the sun is setting, and the sky turns all the beautiful pinks. Stars start to sparkles as night grows in with the sounds, and the people. In the soup. 

 I do listen to way less albums as the years have gone by since ol' harmony house has left the stage. Hadn't even givin' it much thought. Flash in the pants mixed tapes use to be my favorite. But yeah, now it is all mix's. I'm gonna take you up on it and listen to the whole damn album.

 

lmfao the first whole album I go to post I can't find as a album

Soul fly- primitive is the one

not prophecy, which is all good...but definitely primitive

 

 

Love you girl!

I keep forgetting how much i love Peter Gabriel. 

 

One of the greatest albums to sit alone, staring out the window with. 

 

'Us'

"Red Rain"

'So' is another great. The Secret World live concert is a great watch, too. 

[-=Zeus=-]

No, just blissful silence. That sounds like a pleasant concert going experience, though.  

 

Can't mention concept albums without 'Tommy'

 

I suck at pinball. *cries*

Ahh, a great memory from childhood. My best friend Randy bought the double cassette tape of Tommy, we used to listen to it on a small Panasonic tape player / recorder :).  That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays a mean pinball!

[-=Zeus=-]

And another one!

You will be hard-pressed to find anything from the boys (and Donna) in '77 that wasn't outstanding.  That whole May run is particularly fantastic, with 5-7 and 5-8 being 2 of my favorites.

I am particularly fond of shows from 1976 as well.

 

As far as albums, yes, I love listening to whole albums!  That practice has been damned near lost in today personalized, digital musical experience.  I am guilty of it as well.

 

At least you are keeping the faith, Phin.

 

I keep 5/8/77 cued.  I had one of those life changing moments listening to a tape of that show. It occurred right at the beginning of row jimmy. This old world has never been the same.  Nevermind the dinner plate size cubies we found that night. "Grass shack nailed to a pinewood floor"

 

These days i have a really nice matrix version of that show that shakes loose plaster from the walls at high volumes!

I'm surprised no one likes Curtis Mayfield.   Legend in my book.

Mr. catattat,

That's a great X-mas morning kinda CD. You know when Grandma gets there. Get the nog out, and some fire roasted nuts. Turn this album on and open presents. I can see it now.

 

Phhaa with Love

Showing my age here, but I offer you some embarassing shit, just because I love you all and am a little bit toasted....

 

The first album I ever bought with my own money was Hootie and the Blowfish's "Cracked Rear View":

 

[Direct Link]

I was in 7th grade and didn't know any better. Don't judge me...

 

The second album I bought was Live's Throwing Copper:

[Direct Link]

Again, 7th grade, don't judge me.  I grew up in rural Iowa in a town full of polka-lovers...  I still listen to this album, The Dam at Otter Creek & Shit Town speaks to me & all rural kids who grew up in that time...

 

The third album I bought was Prodigy's "Fat of the Land":

 

https://www.youtube....90wXfCTCyVDgNgO

This one is a playlist, because the record label pulls full albums down as soon as they go up... I bought the album because track 2 "Breathe" has some great pinball/swordfighting sounds.  I've been fencing since I was 4 years old and loved me some pinball much longer than I've loved me some music...

 

This was at the beginning Tipper Gore's Parental Advisory era...  My mom was soooo pissed that I bought a CD with the first track called "Smack My Bitch Up." 14-year old Phineas had to explain to her that it is never okay to hit a woman. Here's what we said:

 

Mom, it's just music!

But it tells you to smack your bitch up! - Smacking women is not okay, and calling women bitches is not okay!

But I don't even have a girlfriend!

But if you did would you smack her when she was being a bitch?

No!  It's not okay to hit anyone unless they are trying to hurt you.

What if "your bitch" hit you first?

Then I would hug her until she didn't want to hit me anymore!

Yes. Sorry I got so angry. Here's your CD

 

12 years later my dad told me the story of the one and only time he and my mother came to blows.  They were arguing and she slapped him across the face. He said "NO!" and grabbed her around the middle and just sat down, pulling her with him. They ended up facing each other sitting Indian Style on the floor and laughing hysterically...

[mushfun]

Great stories Phin.
