Five Cool Things and Moe Howard

image host

I think I’m going to go through all my Five Cool Things articles that I wrote for Cinema Sentries and post them here. I’ll do it in chronological order starting with the oldest.

I’m going to enjoy re-reading them and seeing how this series develops. For this one, my second ever to write, I talk a bit about how I came up with the idea and the name for the series. For the “And…” part I just used a picture of Moe Howard. I guess it took me a little while to actually start writing something about the sixth thing instead of just being silly.

I also write about Superman, Hell or High Water, Singing in the Rain, The Grateful Dead and Dumbo.

You can read it all here.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was probably the best Dead show I’ve ever seen, and recorded, both in terms of set list and performance. This was my only Halloween show that I’d seen of the Dead, and the band was ON FIRE! After retiring ‘Help On The Way > Slipknot’ for so long it was nice to hear it return. This was my third ‘Dark Star’, and probably the best of the three, and was the only time I’d seen them do ‘Werewolves Of London’. It was quite appropriate for Halloween. Gary Duncan made a return from playing on the 27th and it was cool to see and hear him on ‘Spoonful’ and ‘Dark Star’. This was also the only time I’d seen Ken Kesey and that was really special. There was a guy going through the tapers section that night passing out little raised stick-on pumpkins for Halloween, so I took one and stuck it to the front of my D6. It’s still there!

I went to this show with my ex wife Nikki and my friend Dave. This was the night that I got flustered driving through Oakland going to the Coliseum and accidentally made a left turn onto the railroad racks before making a quick getaway. Hey, I never liked city driving! Dave laughed at me, of course.

When we were coming home, back to San Luis Obispo County, we stopped for a late meal at the Denny’s restaurant in Gilroy. I remember that there were two guys in the lobby talking loudly on big oversized cell phones of the day, and Dave looked at me and said, ‘What do you bet they’re talking to each other!’ Too funny.

We took our new ’91 Honda Civic sedan to this show and Dave was impressed with the cruise control on the way home through the Salinas Valley.

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

Various Artists – Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 10: Next Time You See Me Comin’

Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 10: Next Time You See Me Comin’

This one begins and ends with some very special performances. The first track is from the final Grateful Dead show, which was the final show Jerry Garcia ever played; this was the final Dylan cover he ever performed. The last track is the last song from the concert Bob Weir played with his band Ratdog on the night of the day Jerry died. In between are a batch of exceptional performances, including a rendition of “Hard Rain” by Dylan-producer Daniel Lanois that is from one of the best shows I have ever been to; the whole show is currently available on Dime, and should be in every music lover’s collection.

This will be the final entry in this series for 2006, as I am going on vacation and leaving my computer behind. But I hope to come back with more in 2007, so keep the suggestions and files coming! As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, and especially the performers and composer. Pdiamond and dsgtrane have been kind enough to create great artwork for the first nine volumes, and hopefully one or both of them or someone else will do the same for this one. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Enjoy!
