You should try & dig out the documentary ( Classic Albums ) about Anthem of the Sun. Much of interest in there. The first side tracks especially are composed of blends of the best bits of several live performances. This was hard to do, even harder with a lot of nitrous oxide and LSD in the studio. There's the story about the engineer quitting when Micky Hart wanted to compose a rhythm track out of two recordings he'd make ( one of thin mountain air , one of thick LA smoggy air ) and sample . He stormed out shouting "He wants the sound of thick air !!...He wants the sound of thick air !!" apparently.

Just go the CD system going again and now playing 'Easter Everywhere' which luckily is mono ( or best CD is the mono one ) . Have had this more or less on repeat in the car since Boxing Day.
'Slip Inside this House' is just one of the great tracks, can't say enough about it now I've heard it on the main system.
'Nobody to Love' is also excellent , and 'Earthquake' , in fact almost every track is interesting.
I love the subversion of all sorts of conventions, in LSD-music. Check out when the vocals start on 'Nobody to Love' for instance :

A shed-load of Grateful Dead over the last 2 weeks, whilst working down the shed mostly, its been seeping into my brain whilst I've been engrossed in working on stuff. I get it now, really really get GD, there's just soooooooooooooo much to take in. You can see how they struggled on the 1st album, succeeded on the 2nd and 3rd albums and then went ballistic playing and recording live on 'Live/Dead'.
Tonight I've been in an advanced state of relaxation and fully absorbed this in its entirety. Its flippin' magical stuff IMO. Its Skull and Roses's era and is sooooo good (IMO).

Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

I meant to post this last week when DTB reminded us of aoxomoxoa. I've been trying to perfect that phasing technique whereby the source of the music comes from behind your head(with a stereo setup). It's particularly apparent on Annie Lennox 'hurting time' but I realised it's also in abundance on 'doin that rag'. The last time I listened to the grateful dead was in the early 70s(my bad) so I missed the effect the first time around, mainly due to sub standard hifi gear I suppose. I dismissed the grateful dead at the time because I was into the airplane and there was such rivalry that you could only follow one or the other...how silly!
Seems wierd on reflection cos I was totally aware of phasing and it's effects courtesy of stuff like strictly personal and electric ladyland, but at the time I don't remember the 'behind your head' stuff. I still haven't mastered the technique so if any of you studio savvy bods have any tips I'm all ears(swidt).

Specially silly given Garcia's connection to Surrealistic Pillow.I dismissed the grateful dead at the time because I was into the airplane and there was such rivalry that you could only follow one or the other...how silly!

I'd totally forgotten about that(if I ever was aware in the first place). I just checked on wiki and it seems there is controversy that lingers to this day...which kind of bears out what I was saying....anyway, it's the sixties, If you can remember anything, then you weren't there...
It does appear that Jorma was on his side(which is ok by me...him god, ok!), or was that Grace's little boy?
