This is a swell "live" recording of the Grateful Deads group performing a special "in concert" appearance for lucky pop music fans at a Fillmore West in 1968. Luckily, an electrician was on hand with a microphone to capture this famed rock n' roll combo as they treat the audience to up-tempo renditions of their big hits! You can bet "the joint was rockin'"!
Enjoy the experience of a lively "rock" music concert in the comfort of your own home with this very special recording!

JCC supplies this text, which he probably copy-pasted from somewhere else:
ReplyDeleteThe deluxe edition of Grateful Dead Origins [graphic novel - Ed.] includes an LP record of the Grateful Dead performing at the Fillmore West in San Francisco on August 21, 1968. This previously unreleased show includes the first known West Coast live rendition of ‘St. Stephen’, and the first known performance of its ‘William Tell Bridge’, which would join ‘St. Stephen’ to ‘The Eleven’. The show was recorded to 8-track analog tape, and was mastered by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser at Airshow Mastering in Boulder, CO.
Side 1:
“Dark Star” (Jerry Garcia, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, Bob Weir, Robert Hunter) – 14:33

Side 2:

DeleteThe increasing control of the emerging class of capitalist farmers. Like the capitalist class more generally, in order to emerge as a dominant class, agrarian capitalists had to first gain control over production, independent of the landlords, and second, employ a reorganized labor force to produce a marketable surplus.
ReplyDeleteA man wiser than myself, sang:
"Mule's in the barn
No crop laid by
The corn crib's empty
And the cow's gone dry
Well water low
Nearly out of sight
Can't take a bath
On a Saturday night
No use talkin'
Any man is beat
With 7¢ cotton and 40¢ meat"
And we're not even automated, yet!!!

That's a real clever company.

ReplyDeleteThe whole transition from feudalism to capitalism (with a handy li'l stop at mercantilism) was a thing, as teh kidz say. Hard to underestimate the extent to which Amsterdarn and the Dutch were at the center of the new emergent economy and it's twin "liberalism." Agrarian reform was key because it kept the rural folx engaged while aiding (and abetting, I suppose) the growth of cities/urban areas...JKC nails it, above: control, control control with a healthy dollop (wallop?) of command. As capitalism and liberalism emerge and pull nascent democracy (or at least the euroversion of such) along in their wake, they grow up together, seemingly intertwined and inevitable, indeed, ineluctable (pro tip: they are not). We are, with apologies for the capitalist inf(l)ected language, paying the price yet. The Dutch, y'all.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Dead, friend, I believe it was the Son o'God, no doubt a close personal friend of Don Farq, who said to let the dead bury the dead, a nice line Marx nicked for "The 18th Brumaire" where he also noted that "the tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living." So howsabout a link?
