A Primer On: The Grateful Dead

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 07:29:24 +0000

The Grateful Dead…

Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in San Francisco, California. The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, country, jazz, psychedelia, space musi and gospel—and for live performances of long musical improvisation.[1][4] In particular, the band frequently made use of “long jams”—whereby Jerry Garcia would spend lengthy periods engaging in rock lead guitar solos that evoked various “depth moods.” Other bands utilized long improvisational jams, but “The Dead” took it to extremes. “Their music,” Lenny Kaye wrote, “touches on ground that most other groups don’t even know exists.” [Wikipedia]

Vegas 96: available now! The Aladdin show from 12/6/96 has been one of the most requested shows since we launched Live Phish. Download Vegas 96 at LivePhish.com and receive two exclusive bonus video downloads from this show: “You Enjoy Myself” and “Wilson.”

By the time of Phish’s pioneer gig in the Silver State of Nevada, they had toured Europe for the second time, had masterminded their first single-band mega-festival and released their sixth studio album Billy Breathes. On December 6, 1996, they reached the Aladdin Theatre for the last show of a 35-show fall tour that stretched from Buffalo, NY to Las Vegas. With frontier spirit, Phish displayed many of their most compelling aspects, stringing together old classics in new ways, hosting a parade of special guests, acting out stories and even conjuring The King with four Elvis Presley impersonators joining them onstage

Keller Williams’ Newest Album – 12, released

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 22:22:49 +0000

Twelfth album. Twelve songs. Get it in the twelfth month.
Keller’s twelfth album release, available beginning December 18, 2007 on SCI Fidelity Records, looks back at 20 years of making music. Aptly titled 12, the album features one standout song from each of his previous eleven releases. Added to the mix is one new, previously un-recorded song. Keller himself dubs this his album of “hitless greatest hits.” While the Keller Williams adventure has only just begun, 12 is a fantastic celebration of a musical milestone.
