It's not the same progression as this one, different chords, but has a very similar feel, and it shows that the Dead could bust out Latin-style jams out of nowhere that month even without any guests around.Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-6025561960434156742020-04-04T20:36:50.757-07:002020-04-04T20:36:50.757-07:00So Jack Casady may have popped out for a few minut...So Jack Casady may have popped out for a few minutes, grabbed the bass for this jam, then gave it back to Phil once the Other One started? Well, maybe... I wouldn't rule out the possibility but it seems unlikely. <br />I didn't notice yet another drummer amidst all the clatter, but wouldn't be surprised. One thing that concerns me is that the more guests we hear in this short jam, the less likely it is that they'd all just walk off after one little five-minute jam. Isn't that unheard-of in the San Francisco scene? <br />I noticed that the organ becomes all but inaudible after the jam, making it a little harder to tell what happened on the keyboard front, if Pigpen was replaced or just stopped playing or what.

It's really aggressive, with an un-Lesh-like logic. Also, I hear somebody else on one of the drum kits, really hammering the toms.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08985467102325218695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-60998881628045301052019-05-18T15:13:43.985-07:002019-05-18T15:13:43.985-07:00Thanks for the garbage can confirmation!

However, he could very well have played a daytime rally and then flown to NYC.<br /><br />http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com/Country%20Joe%20Shows%201970s.htm<br /><br />April 15, 1967 had been a National "Vietnam Day" of protest, so an event on April 15 a few years later is plausible.Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-74053100510920712282016-04-18T15:16:54.390-07:002016-04-18T15:16:54.390-07:00I was there.

I'm pretty sure it was the same day of a stop the war peace rally in front of the Civic Centre at which Country Joe played and Allen Ginsberg spoke and read poetry. That's where I heard about the Winterland concert anyway. When I got to Winterland half the concert goers were dressed in American flags, a sort of ironic statement I guess. Just about everyone seemed to be tripping. The whole thing was fantastic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074898705244288147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493557313410969282.post-39961732727056205532014-01-02T04:06:07.817-08:002014-01-02T04:06:07.817-08:00I was at this show way back up in the balcony and ...I was at this show way back up in the balcony and do remember that amazung jam but could barely see the stage thru all the smoke wafting up so Im afraid I cant help identifying <br />musicians.

(Weir was certainly no stranger to jazzy chords at this time. And isn't the guitar tone the same?) Granted, the chording may be a bit quicker & more aggressive than usual for Weir, but that could be the nature of the jam. <br /><br />But I could be way wrong. If everyone else can tell that it's obviously a different guy, that probably goes to show how poor I am at hearing these things! <br /><br />Regardless of the players, it's a bizarre occurrence that two or three extra players will come out to jam in a Dead show....and then leave after five minutes! (Pretty disciplined, for a San Francisco bunch.) I think it's certain the jam was worked out ahead of time. Also note that Garcia stays 'in the lead', as it were - the organist & other guitar don't step up & swap leads as you might expect - the bass player, though, is definitely taking charge. <br />Whatever the reason for the jam stopping so early, you're right that the second drum break gives the Dead a few moments to 'return' to their normal groove. (I think Pigpen was on organ in the opening Cryptical, but he doesn't seem to return?)Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
