Dead & Company }{ Summer Tour One-Offs (2017)
As I did last year, I’m tracking the set-lists for DeadCo’s summer tour with special attention to one-offs, song sandwiches, and unusual set-list positions. They made it through the first four shows with no repeats, one further than last year if memory serves. I will simply add each full set-list annotated with details on repeats, […]

To Music (in Pictures) }{ Gary James Joynes (Clinker)
To Music (in Pictures): a photo series founded upon a double-entendre. 1. An homage to music through the art of photography. 2. A series of photographs that participate in the art of musicking, following Christopher Small’s recasting of “music” from noun to verb: to music, an action set that encompasses the activities of musicians on […]

Dead & Company }{ Summer Tour One-Offs
Need some fodder for your DeadCo show bragging rights? As of their two-night stand at Alpine Valley there are 19 songs that they have played only once on summer tour (7 played for the first time ever by DeadCo). I’ve listed them below in order of performance date. If you were at any of these […]

Have You Ever Heard a Rainbow? }{ Trey Comes Out in Santa Clara
The band was unquestionably tentative while performing the first weekend of the “Fare Thee Well” celebrations at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The “core four” hadn’t played together much over the last decade and there’s only so much that limited rehearsals can accomplish. This was particularly true for Trey Anastasio, charged with learning around […]

Fare Thee Well, Grateful Dead }{ Part 1: There is No Band
What shall we say, shall we call it by a name? The Grateful Dead? No. But then they never claimed to be, contrary to popular misconception surrounding the 50th anniversary “Fare Thee Well” shows going down this week. They’re everywhere, headlines like: “Grateful Dead’s Long, Strange Trip to End in Chicago”; or “Warren Haynes Talks […]

Robert C. Jordan Archive }{ Five Quiet Songs
This is a series of posts about the music of Robert Christopher Jordan, my dad. He began his musical career as a violinist with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra not long after arriving in Canada from England in 1957, but he made his name as a classical guitarist in Vancouver where he remains one of the […]

My Fuzzy Warbles }{ Disc Two }{ Terrapin Station
On Sept. 25th, 2012, I heard Furthur play the full Terrapin Station suite at the WaMu Theater in Seattle. As of this writing, that was the last time the suite has been performed intact. So who cares, and why? Let’s start with the significance of this particular composition for deadheads. At the 2011 IASPM Canada […]
