The Good Ol' Grateful Thread



been listening to Dead and Co from Lockn last year with Branford Marsalis today at work and am convinced that Bob and Branford need to pair up on a quiet storm album before it's too late. (Branford comes in at Shakedown)
 
Grateful Dead - Ready Or Not

"
A stirring conclusion to the Grateful Dead's three-decade career, music filled with adventure and possibility, big questions, big punchlines, and cosmic wisdom...

Maybe you were lucky enough and caught a glimpse of what might have been. You swayed to the unfamiliar, floating along with an unknown melody, joining in for a chorus when you felt confident you had it down. Maybe you jotted a fat question mark in your meticulous setlist, certain you'd figure it out before the next show, anticipating a formal introduction in due time.

As if their repertoire wasn't tall enough to reach the endless sky, the band began adding new tunes to their sets in 1992, working them into "quintessential Grateful Dead romps," with the intention of a new studio album. By the mid-90s, they set out recording with the wisdom of Willie Dixon's blues, Neil Young's fuzzed-out guitar, newcomer Vince Welnick's tried-and-true sketches, and Bobby reunited with Robert Hunter on a duo that had quickly become fan-favorites. Alas, it was not meant to be. Until now.

We proudly present READY OR NOT, nine unreleased live versions of late-period Grateful Dead songs that debuted in 1992 and 1993, a reflection of what could have been the band's next official studio album.

Due November 22nd, READY OR NOT will be available on CD, as a 180-gram 2-LP set, limited to 10,000 copies, and of course, digitally as a download and for streaming.

Looking for that Dead.net exclusive? We've got you covered with an exclusive colored vinyl version of the 2-LP set with one red LP and one blue LP, limited to just 2,000 copies. And we'll hit you with that hi-res digital audio too."

I normally don't mind ordering from Dead.Net, but that vinyl is $50 with tax and shipping...any leads on a vinyl preorder yet?
 
I enjoyed this weeks upload too much not to share.



"This is the only song from Bob's 1978 solo record Heaven Help The Fool that made it into the Dead's setlist, aside from the one-time performance of Salt Lake City in 1995. This was the only ever played acoustically, and without vocals, by the Grateful Dead, but they sure did have fun with it." - David Lemieux

Not to spam the thread, but this article is a good read.. for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

The Grateful Dead's Bob Weir Is Unbelievably Shredded at 72

Bob Weir stays strong and fit with CrossFit, Tabata workouts, and three-hour concerts.

That was an excellent read, gave a little insight into his relationship w/ Jerry. Out of the whole thing though, this line is my favorite: "He looks like a Civil War general who’s really into CrossFit"

Haha.. yea, it's a different side of him you normally don't see. I lost it at the part where he was talking about his cues to the rest of the band on stage, and how he had to do it because "Jerry was fucking busy!"

Anybody listen to Ready or Not yet? Curious what you thoughts are
Click to expand...
it didn't change my thoughts on those songs at all but what I can say is that they chose really good versions of Lazy River Road and Days Between. The Vince songs are still...something... and the Weir material is pretty meh.
 
for the truest expression of joy in later years Dead, listen to Jerry's harmonies on the Brent songs in 89/90 (Blow Away, We Can Run). truly joyful...
