Dead Heads - Bobby songs worth listening to?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

[ET Awful]

1. They're all pretty okay :)

I could do without Eternity most of the time, so I'll say OTHER :)

[mdhunter]

2. Cassidy and LLR are two of my favorities period. Can't beat Bobby's

emotion at the end of some of the LLR recordings.

[NJ_Lib]

7. Have you ever heard LLR from...

6/12/76? I think it was the Boston Garden and it is just incredible...

[Goathead]

3. Mexicali Blues

I used to hate Mexicali Blues, but then I listened to a jamming version of it it and now I like it.

[Greyskye]

11. Mexicali Blues - agreed

Definitely my favorite Bobby tune.

[sportndandy]

4. One More Saturday Night !

[Burma Jones]

5. My Favorites

Sugar Magnolia
Greatest Story Ever Told (aka, The Pump Song)
Estimated Prophet
Cassidy
Mexicali Blues

[NJ_Lib]

6. I have to pick ONE?

I'll be a girl's girl and pick Looks Like Rain... (Oh, Bobby, you're so dreamy...) ;)

Edited to say: Please note the sarcasm in above statement. Didn't want anyone to think those were actually MY words... Yikes...

28. Hey NJ Lib

[Squeech]

8. They're all pretty good

And where's "Hell in a Bucket?" And "Feel Like a Stranger?"

[John Q. Citizen]

9. Brother Esau

[Rambis]

12. My first Golden was named Esau

The minister that came over to "counsel" my wife and I before we got married (lived in sin for 10 years) said, "oh you know your bible stories because of Esau with the red hair" etc etc etc. I didn't have the heart to tell him the dog was named after a bobby tune:)

[John Q. Citizen]

15. That's funny, I was telling someone years ago about the

song and they started telling me about the old testament story so I looked it up and saw the old testament/Vietnam analogy they were going for.

It's my favorite Bobby tune because it's a hard tune to do and it's a little esoteric and lost in a short span of musical history. They only played it a few times.

What did you tell the minister when he found out your cats were named Samson and Delilah?

[Rambis]

17. LOL!

That was a good one. I am not a religious man but I am a spiritual being and the boys had some spirit that is for sure.

[Rambis]

19. I like Desolation Row

by Bobby better than the Dylan version. One night at Alpine Valley, in the rain was the most beautiful version of that song I ever heard the Dead do.

[regularguy]

10. Music Never Stopped.

'Cause it has that Jerry feel. :)

[brentspeak]

13. Are the two Bobby and Jerry solo debuts worth getting?

I've read somewhere that the solo debuts that were recorded in 1971/72 as part of the Dead recording contract are almost as good as "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty". Any truth to that?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

14. I would say yes. There are some great gems on both

[sugar magnolia]

16. Gotta go with Cassidy

Since we named a kid after that tune.

[ruthg]

27. There are so many...

Cassidy
Sugar Magnolia
Estimated Prophet
Throwing Stones ( but not the studio version)
One More Saturday Night
Weather Report Suite

Etc.

Etc.


If I had to pick just one??

Cassidy.

[dolo amber]

18. Who the hell is

Bobby? :shrug:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. Your worst nightmare

[dolo amber]

21. Is he the one who

doesn't bathe and covers his hippy stench in patchouli whilst sitting nekkid and playing bongos?

Oh no, wait...that's all of them. :smoke:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. I don't think he plays tablas - like some do

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. There will be much hugging and man-tears tonight...

...in the Mickey Hart/Robert Bly drum circle of castration.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. we'll all be whiping our filthy asses on copies of Mackies

[buddhamama]

25. "Weather Report Suite Part 2 : Let It Grow"

I consider it a Bobby song not sure if others would.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Its one of the choices - and hello my friend!

Hope you have a great thanksgiving
