#nowplaying - i rarely intend to buy willie nelson albums but then there they are. this is delightful & sets a sweet mood, from 1981, in the "stardust"/standards mode but more a chill & well-recorded acoustic session than jazz pop & maybe a bit looser, even. @vinylrecords

11-22-85, Henry J. Hell in a Bucket § Sugaree, New Minglewood Blues § Althea, Cassidy, Dupree’s Diamond Blues # Let It Grow hat dm hit at irate naan A Most. people seemed to favor that show of the three for its spirit and unpre- dictability, but I was floored by the third. Again, the set list reveals nothing par- ticularly spectacular, but everything they touched turned to gold. The “Morning Dew” out of “space” was everything a “Dew” should be — chilling, beautiful, overwhelming; the “Throwing Stones” was at once angry and uplifting; and they played a “Lovelight” with the kind of in- tensity the song demands — Weir didn’t waste any time with a rap, and the band played with the kind of cocky assurance that made the song such a powerhouse in Pigpen’s day.

the golden road reports from the kaiser & other scene reports. [4/5]
steel hic am © There were more than a few quizzical gazes in the hall when the first few notes of the second show echoed through the hall. What the hell? Is it really “Big Boy Pete”? Yes, indeed, it was the old Olym- pics tune, played for the first time since screenshots of memories from Internet Archive & elsewhere 1970, and with incredible conviction. (Garcia and Weir alternated lead vocals.) That foreshadowed interesting things ahead, and the Dead delivered in spades. A funky, funky “Shakedown” began the second set, followed by a flawed “Crazy Fingers,” a long, intricate “Playin” and then, to everyone's delight, “She Be- longs to Me” before drums. (Parentheti- cally, wouldn't it be great if the Dead shifted more songs around in the set the way they have with “She Belongs to Me” this year? It's appeared in the first set, the second set before and after drums, and as an encore!) The excitement reached a fever pitch late in the show, when a “Playin’” re- prise that many people probably thought would give way to “Around & Around,” or something of that nature, instead chugged into a wild, late-set “Gimme Some Lovin’,” followed by “Midnight Hour” to close. For the encore they pulled out “Walkin’ the Dog,” a great nightcap for this gonzo evening. screenshots of memories from Internet Archive & elsewhere
