Re: 10/31/71 Stops Freight Trains |
That's intense. Your story and the description.
I think that's true about Jerry's playing ... and not just at that point. I'd say it holds true in so many places throughout that show.
And hearing it in the car when you were eight, with that reaction -- wow. And how cool it must be to be able to share that with your dad now.
Here's what I remember my mom listening to in the car when I was eight. I really liked it. It turns out to be pretty intense, too, in its own way; not that I picked that up! I thought it was about a "cavern." (Any other kids of the 60s remember this? It's what was REALLY on the radio back then. Gosh, I love historical context ...)

Re: 10/31/71 Stops Freight Trains |
cool post about your dad. Yes DP2 is amazing. I recall making my way through that dark star years ago and considering it an accomplishment. I wasnt really moved. I now listen to it and think god how did i not get it!?!?! it is really epic. Does anyone know what the jam is that is played later like around 10 minutes into the dark star? I heard it during 1971-11-07 as well. I feel like ive heard it before, like its someone else's song that they found their way into and jammed on it.
Any thoughts?

Re: 10/31/71 Stops Freight Trains |
Nice review and story. Thanks. I was in college at that time and I do remember the song. For some reason that I don't know, old-timey music was big during the early psychedelic era. The Dead did it in their own American way and the Brits did theirs. Sgt. Pepper's LHC Band was full of this stuff. Traffic was in there too. I think they referred to it as dance-hall music or something like that. It's amazing what sticks in the gray cells after all this time.
