What a gorgeous set...and excited to hear this particular track from this very early Pat Metheny album; I've always loved it
Avatar 12:15am
Adamsworth:

Hell yes I've been listening from the beginning of the show, it's been a great one tonight! I haven't listened to much Methany before, this song is so smooth and great.
Avatar 12:16am
Adamsworth:

ha ha yes, this band kicking in part of Methany...
  12:17am
nardo:

Yes, nice to hear Metheny.
  12:17am
zenkoan:

This is a smooth piece, but I always smile when people equate Metheny overall with "smooth jazz"..they'll never heard Zero Tolerance for Silence, or probably much of his huge diverse catalog
  12:19am
zenkoan:

Sup, Jeff..hope you're feeling as chill tonight as the music suggests
Avatar 12:20am
Adamsworth:

I'll check out other parts of his catalogue, the guitar tone on this song was one of the smoothest I've ever heard though...
  12:22am
tuner fish:

The first time I heard Metheny was on his album “Trio 99>00” - some incredible guitar playing, as well as my “go-to” example of Bill Stewart’s peerless drumming.

gregorianpants:

need to check out more ECM stuff
  12:24am
zenkoan:

Because some of Metheny's mellowest, most melodic stuff (such as Last Train Home) got so much airplay, some people tend to think it represents his work, but there are four decades of amazing, diverse sounds to discover, both with Pat Metheny Group, and in a plethora of other settings (solo, duos, trios, quartets, etc).
  12:27am
Dean:

Up for some Saunders/Garcia/Khan/Vitt. Got any?
  12:28am
zenkoan:

tunerfish, another incredible drummer that Metheny tours and records with is Antonio Sanchez--check him out
  12:32am
tuner fish:

Antonio Sanchez! Another great one! I’ve seen him play with Chick Corea’s trio - I believe John Pattituci was on bass? It was a great night!
  12:36am
Jeff Conklin:

Hey y’all. Sorry been having technical issues. Think we’re ok now but was melting down for a bit

I like my Metheny smooth with lots of MIDI
  12:47am
Dean:

I like my Metheny with Derek Bailey.
  12:53am
Dean:

In addition to the Garcia/Saunders request, I'd like to add Amazing Blondel. That'd be nice, too. Deuter brought them to mind.

Jeff, is this a request line now? If that is the case, then some Legion Of Mary for me.

do a set of live Dead Jeff!

Adamsworth:

ha ha you DO take requests!
  1:05am

Precisely. Not a request, strictly speaking. A mere suggestion, nudge, nudge, know what I mean?

@Dean: Noted ;)

@Adamsworth: Granted

this is exactly what I asked for

Agent Peter:

Hi ho an excellent selection!
  1:15am
saucerful:

Love this Dead set. At first I thought that sounded like a farfisa in the background. Did a search and found out it's Tom Constanten on a vox organ! Cool...http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2016/02/the-vox-and-hammond-1967-1969.html

Man is this just what the doctor ordered!
Back on Metheny, the other night I caught his current bassist, Linda May Han Oh, in Vijay Iyer’s Trio (w/Tyshawn Sorey). My blown mind is still in recovery. Wow.

Franco Twinkie:

I've been listening to WFMU since last April, I guess that makes me a fetus in the Avant Ghetto. Makes no nevermind. I remember the day when I bought Aoxomoxoa. It was a warm winter Sunday in 1971, much like today. I was helping my dad build a brick planter in the front yard. At a certain point I just lost interest, and much to his annoyance, got on my bike and rode to Gemco and paid $3.19 for it. I still have that tattered copy....As well as the latest version, with Clementine Jam. My favorite Dead album, hands down.

saucerful:

Ha...great story Franco!
  1:23am
saucerful:

Love the guitar sound too...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:26am
Franco Twinkie:

Jerry's plaintive guitar on Dark Star is the sound of San Francisco to me. The fog blowing in over Twin Peaks and swirling down Divisadero.
  1:28am
saucerful:

Yeah, exactly! I was just thinking this sounds like quintessential SF sound. Were you living in the Bay Area then by any chance?
  1:29am
Dean:

Oh, for fuck's sake. There's no such thing as a "San Francisco sound"!
  1:30am
saucerful:

Haha yes there is!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:30am
Franco Twinkie:

No. However I am their there frequently. Have been going since I was 11 in 1966.

Awesome...what a time to be a pre-teen>teenager.

Franco Twinkie:

Dean, you darned Berkeley snob. I swear you should cross the bridge once in awhile, and trip out in the park with me.
  1:37am
Dean:

I have no interest in tripping out.

Franco Twinkie:

You are such an old grouch.
  1:39am
saucerful:

"Discerning aficionados of '60s rock will note the similarity of the instrumental intro of 'St. Stephen' and the defining riff of Jefferson Airplane's 'Volunteers of America.' Regarding the latter, songwriter Paul Kantner in the liner notes to the 1987 Airplane compilation 2400 Fulton Street attributes the riff to an old fiddle lick."

Man I fucking love "The Eleven"
Avatar Swag For Life Member 1:44am
Franco Twinkie:

Me too! We had a barn in Santa Cruz where I would get high, watch the sun stream in thru the rotten roof and listen to The Eleven on a crappy old school record player.
  1:55am
saucerful:

Sounds lovely Franco. I love thinking about the history of what was going on in the late '60s that might have influenced the Dead's mood/playing during their sets. For example, Feb. 13, 1969 was a major date for nationwide black student protests...2 days before this show. National guard were called in on some campuses.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:01am
Franco Twinkie:

As you well know, saucer, they had decamped to Marin by then, as had Quicksilver. The trees and green hills I'm sure had something to do with their sound. It worked for a while, until it didn't.
