Murph Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Just watched this on the Indie channel (dish network). Actually I DVR'd it, it was on Friday night maybe. I met Jerry back in the mid/late '70's. He played my '61 Melody Maker. Weird to find this now that I'm leaning more towards roots/acoustic/bluegrass stuff. It's a great show if you get a chance. I need to remember how to change my Avatar....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I definitely liked the Grisman stuff better than the Dead. Funny thing - no matter how hard I tried, I could not get into the Dead in the 1960s although I did like the Workingman's Dead LP. I think it was just too much mindless noodlin' for my I would rather be listening to Mississippi Fred McDowell and streamlined Chuck Berry-esque taste in rock 'n' roll. But I spent alot of evenings at the Fillmore East and other places trying to get into them because I was convinced there must have been something I was missing. I almost met Garcia once. I had gone out to visit a friend who worked for Bob and Betty Matthews and they told me hed had just left the place before I got there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acoustic idiot Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 those two were some wierd people. but i think thats what made them who they were. i like the album "shady grove" that the duo put out, more than i like the dead. however, there are a few dead songs that i can't let go of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Funny thing - no matter how hard I tried' date=' I could not get into the Dead [/quote'] I didn't get it either. When I met him I knew I could outplay him at the time, and I was about 20. I didn't learn to appreciate the mindless noodlin' until the last few years actually. But, like you, I really like the acoustic/bluegrass/roots stuff better. Funny thing, TIME...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daryl M Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I played RockyGrass in Colorado last weekend. Saw Sam Bush, Bobby Osborne and David Grisman standing backstage telling stories. Wish I'd had a camera. That's like 75% of the Mandolin Mt. Rushmore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
