Great Albums

[tee1222]

Tee, I've been to more Brother shows than I could even possibly count. I'm hoping to catch them at the Beacon next March and help my son pack up for moving back here to Fla. The 1st time I saw the Brothers was at Watkins Glen with the Dead and The Band. I'm certain I will never witness a festival like that again in my lifetime. I was 17 at the time.

Great company, man! I too have seen a bunch, especially college and a little after college days.

Totally! They could have been a great studio band if they wanted.

Kind of Blue- Miles Davis

 

[Cowtown]

On a bit of a different tack here, but it certainly deserves mention ...

The Makem and Clancy Concert, recorded live in Australia in 1977.

And if you're a fan of the genre, the eponymous The Bothy Band from 1975, the album that saved Irish music from the dreaded "death by bullet-proof traditionalism" that fairly suffocated bluegrass.

I think they were both a great studio band and the most amazing live original jam band.

I might be a little biased though.

"There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert"

(I just learned the original dancing bear died)

And if you didn't know, yesterday was the 18th year Anniversary of Jerry's passing. Which coincidentally was also the day I met my future wife and also coincidentally is the birthday of my newborn nephew .

On that note, Europe '72, Reckoning, Dick's Pick (any of the 36 is fine), Without a Net, Dozin'at the Nick. One/Two.Three from the Vault, Hartford '77

I will add my favorite bootleg that I own is Cornell 5-8-77.
