Bob (not Weir)

So I'm a-gonna try to hopefully get back to posting Grateful Dead tunes tomorrow. Here's the finale of my tribute to legendary taper Jerry Moore. A deadhead he was, to be sure, but I think the guy also dug himself a little Bob... of the Marley variety...

Burnin' And Lootin'

Some nice Bob... and not of the Weir variety. I'm not really sure what to say about these tunes. What makes one Bob Marley & The Wailers show better than another? Not like there's a ton of jamming to get into. Not like there's lots of spacey places to explore. So I and I just listen, mon... listen and enjoy the reggae.

Sound quality could be better but it's not horrible. Remember cassettes with hiss from multi-generations? Jah bless the digital age, mon! No hiss like that so all in all this ain't bad!

Jammin' Mutterings for Sweetness

Once again it's Sunday and you know what that means, kids? It's time to play everybody's favorite fun time game, Take A Step Back. Now when I count to three, take a step back. Ready? And a one, and a two, and a three, Take A Step Back. A one, a two, a three, Take A Step Back.

Oh wait, what I meant to say is it's time for Mutterings...

Schaeffer Music Festival

New York City was a graffiti, gang and mafia ridden crumbling metropolis in 1975. Any relief at all was surely welcome to those seeking even a moment of forgetting about the sorry state of the city. On this day in mid-June, the relief came from Jamaica in the form of some sweet, sweet music. The area around the Wollman Rink probably was purely a slice of heaven in Manhattan as the sounds of Bob Marley & The Wailers floated through the air. What a beautiful moment in time that must've been. And what a great show to fill my ears with! As great as these songs are in their studio version on LP or CD or in MP3 form, how much greater they are played live for people to enjoy. Just a terrifically mellow show! The quality, for an Audience recording, could almost pass for a Soundboard, with the instruments so clear. There's a slight electronic buzz noticeable, some voices near the mics at times and at times the sound's a little muddy but none of those problems are terrible enough to be a severe distraction... overall just a really decent listen that gives off a nice feeling, almost, of what it was like being there!
