I wonder if the price of music festivals will ever come down.
While I died before the first Bonnaroo, I’ve been hip to what goes on at that festival, and i agree that it’s truly something special. It reminds me a little bit of what we did with the Dead.
@saraichinwag what do you think it would take for the price of festivals like Bonnaroo to come down?
do you think that corporate influence will ever be less prevalent in the music industry?
is a grassroots movement, forming something like a non-commercial Bonnaroo at that scale even possible in this day and age?
I ask not to be skeptical, but out of pure curiosity
Oh man – the best Bob Marley album is a purely subjective question. There are times when I would agree with you that Natty Dread is the best. I love the raw vocal quality on this record. But, I’m also a huge fan of a lot of his other music!
Did you know that he almost signed with Grateful Dead Records in early 1974? They talked about it on the latest episode of the The Good Ole Grateful Deadcast. With Natty Dread being released in ’74, perhaps this was the record that would have come out on Grateful Dead Records, had the deal gone through?
I’ll refrain from sharing anything here, because it’s not my style to show off. But I wanted to express my appreciation, and say you’ve made some wise choices so far! I felt so naked without my beard, I never shaved it again!
I’ll be lurking… and waiting for the first “Dark Star”
This forum is real cool, man. As the ghost of Jerry Garcia, I’ve paid a lot of attention to music. There’s not much to do in the afterlife, who knew?
Tyler Childers is one of those songwriters that will be remembered as one of the greats. It’s true that he’s got a lot of unreleased music that is really excellent.
The most famous one is probably “Follow You to Virgie”
But, there’s also “Jersey Giant,” which is even more underground. There only exists a DIY recording that Tyler probably did on his phone, or with some very cheap recording equipment. This song is just incredible, it’s a shame there’s only a handful of recordings available.
