      LATEST UPDATE 8/20 – Grateful Dead – Unbroken Chain

      MtMvGF2.jpg

      GUITAR/BASS: bsbloom

       

      “Unbroken Chain” with words by Bobby Petersen and music by bassist Phil Lesh stands as one of most musically complex pieces they performed, and the fact that it was never, until 1995, performed live in concert by the Grateful Dead puts it into a unique category. The roar that went up from the audience when they broke it out at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on March 19 of that year virtually drowned out the first minute of the performance. It stayed in the live repertoire during that final tour, and was played in the penultimate spot in the second set of their last show on July 9, 1995.
      But the studio version on Mars Hotel always blows me away. The mysterious studio sounds that resemble jet planes taking off or water dripping, the incredible Garcia solo, the rapid changes in mood and the twists and turns of tempo and structure all combine for a wild ride. And Bobby Petersen’s lyric is right up there with some of Hunter’s best, for me.

        LATEST UPDATE 8/21 – Frank Zappa – Outside Now

        UPDATED 8/21/2020: So once upon a time in early 2016 I was a Zappa newbie diving headfirst in the catalog. I started charting drums on a lot of songs never thinking they would become full band. My charting skills were not up to par for the intense difficulty on some songs so I edited them heavily. Over 4 years later I decided the time was now to restore this and 3 other Joe’s Garage tracks to their full glory. The final minute of the outro has been restored. Bass, drums, and guitar are all up to code.

                LATEST UPDATE 8/26 – The Cardigans – Travelling with Charley

                All of this sixties nostalgia of the Cardigans sophomore album culminates in it’s most creative gem, “Travelling With Charley.” I love this particular record because it shows such self-awareness. The band knows that their stuff sounds like TV theme songs from the 1960s, so they quite literally made a theme song for an imaginary TV detective show from the 1960s. The show is about a hapless “detective darling” who “never finds a trace,” and every episode ends when “someone else has solved the case.” It’s a brilliant song, and it shows that the group doesn’t take itself too seriously — they’re in on the “joke” too. It’s this kind of risk taking that endears a group like The Cardigans to its audience. So often, our favorite artists are afraid to show us that they’re actually having fun. And what’s Life without fun?

                        LATEST UPDATE 9/9 – Grateful Dead – Help on the Way – Slipknot

                        65nC899.jpg


                        GUITAR: EchoOfMystery

                         

                        Help on the Way is a true “one of a kind” song that no other rock song sounds like. That’s a pretty impressive feat.
                        It’s a modal minor song (as is the following Slipknot!) that uses lengthy complicated patterns that are probably partially inspired by modern (at the time) jazz songs like Freedom Jazz Dance written by Eddie Harris.
                        While the song does have some great and original music what makes it amazing are the simple and catchy verses and chorus. And as great as the chords and vocal melody are, Hunter’s lyrics are even better:
                        Paradise waits
                        on the crest of a wave, her angels in flame
                        She has no pain
                        Like a child, she is pure, she is not to blame
                        Great imagery. It’s difficult to put my finger on a specific theme or story in these lyrics but the words are beautifully mysterious and left up to interpretation.
