WHISKEYTOWN 1995!

Posted on March 23rd, 2010 by ekko

I don’t know about you all, but I think that mid-90s Whiskeytown was Ryan Adams at his best.  The band’s line up was Ryan, Caitlin Cary, Phil Wandscher, Steve Grothmann, and Skillet Gilmore–all exceedingly talented–and Ryan didn’t shy away from the country side of alt-country.  This show was special for those reasons, and for the many covers–from Richard Hell to The Byrds to a Chris Isaak song that isn’t “Wicked Game.”  Not to mention the Staple Sisters.

Dig in and enjoy.

1. Southern Shelter has a Venice is Sinking concert posted.  Great band.  Check out their cover of the Okay song compass (direct link).

2.  Captain’s Dead posted a Nirvana bootleg: The Nevermind Sessions.

3.  CD posted a cool St. Patty’s day post including a cover of Radiohead’s Creep.

4.  Tim’s got his eyes on up-and-comers “Milk.”

5.  Jeff turned me on to this cool Gangstarr mix.

6.  I’ve been thinking of doing a Bee Gees cover post, but this guy has beat me to it.  Kind of.  Just one song.  A bunch of “I Started a Joke” covers.

7.  Cover Me is alwasy good, but they outdid themselves this time.  Hair Metal covers!

LIVE GRATEFUL DEAD! FROM 1993!

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by ekko

1993 might not (definitely was not) the best year to see the Grateful Dead.  Health issues plagued the band, and Bobby’s songwriting skills were not peaking, either.  What makes this show so cool, though, is the widely varied setlist.  There’s the last Casey Jones ever played, and in set one no less, a rare recording of Broken Arrow, and then old favorites like Eyes, Corinna, and Cassidy.

So, without further ado, The Dead, March 27, 1993, 3/27/93, Albany, N.Y.  Enjoy.
SET 1:
01.  Hell In A Bucket
02.  Bertha
03.  Same Thing
04.  Peggy-O
05.  Queen Jane Approximately
06.  Broken Arrow
07.  Loose Lucy
08.  Cassidy
09.  Casey Jones (last time played . . . Ever!)

SET 2:
01.  Eyes Of The World
02.  Estimated Prophet
03.  Comes A Time
04.  Corinna
05/6.  Drumspace
07.  The Wheel
08.  All Along The Watchtower
09.  Days Between
10.  One More Saturday Night
