Various Artists
Nobody Sings Dylan Like Dylan, Vol. 17: You’re Jammin’ Me

Beginning with the Grateful Dead, Dylan’s songs have always provided ripe pickings for the so-called jam band scene, so it seems fitting to dedicate a volume of NSD to the best of these covers. Not surprisingly, this volume has fewer songs than any other so far, given these groups’ tendencies to stretch things out. So we have nine tracks (three new songs, six new artists to the series), averaging almost nine minutes each. We kick things off, of course, with the Dead, and end with the band that did the most to keep their grateful spirit alive, Phish. But my favorites here are two rarely covered songs from the pen of Born Again Bob, “Solid Rock” and “When You Gonna Wake Up,” given powerful run-throughs by Widespread Panic and Little Feat, respectively.

If you like this sort of thing, there’s plenty more to be had at the Live Music Archive (www.archive.org/details/etree), which features free dowloads from artists who have given their explicit approval. Also, this seems like a good time to heap praise upon DylanCover.com, a veritable encyclopedia of information on all things DylanCover, which has been a boon to my research as I’ve put this series together.

As usual, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. 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). Please keep the suggestions and files coming–if you’ve got something good, please PM me.

Enjoy!

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.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the first Grateful Dead show after Bill Graham’s death from the helicopter crash. It was a very somber night, and they opened with ‘Sugar Magnolia’ in honor of Graham, as it was Bill’s favorite Dead song. ‘Mona’ was a treat to hear. I’d never seen Gary Duncan, from Quicksilver Messenger Service before, and Carlos is always special. I finally managed to drag Shane, my best friend from high school, along to a Dead show, and as I was setting up the recording gear in the tapers section he turned to me and said ‘This looks too much like work!’ I smiled and said that it wasn’t work, it was fun. He had fun watching all the deadheads but still just doesn’t get it. I guess the bus came by but he didn’t get on.

I was up and back from SLO County to the Bay Area three times in a row that week. Once for this show, once for the 10/31/91 Halloween show, and once for the Bridge Benefit on Saturday night followed by the Bill Graham memorial concert in Golden Gate Park on Sunday. It was quite a week!
