i believe these are the 2 oldest surviving online reviews of #gratefuldead shows, scene reports from the warfield theater, september 1980, by stanford AI researchers paul martin & dave wilkins, pictured here on spring tour '74, a year after the launch of the dead.dis email list. preserved on this SAIL backup: https://www.saildart.org/ #deadfreaksunite

The sounds of a dying Twitter. The streaming API still works and I’m sonifying tweets using the #MakeNoise 0-coast and Strega. Tweet lengths determine pitch (longer text = lower note) and other parameters are mapped to velocity/duration. Sounds best with headphones! #MastoMusic #modularsynths #RIPTwitter
is there a way to block surveys out of my feed entirely? never doable on the other site, but trying to find peace in the valley & this particular valley seems more flexible.
posted in the sweet spot between the rear surround speakers at public records & watched with my ears (& grooved with the disco ball) for sparkling 12-string by eli winter (with david grubbs on harmonium for the closer) & elemental set by fennesz, loops & oceanic drones & distant gamelan.
Working on a Heads mastodon instance with the Jerrybase crew...should be available this weekend I think
after SUGAR MAGNOLIA, garcia shifts into GOIN’ DOWN THE ROAD FEELING BAD, in unusual spot as a show-closer with no additional weirness afterwards. BID YOU GOODNIGHT instrumental ending is a lovely chill way to close the night. #deadfreaksunite #gd111972 [3/3]
11/19/72 houston: TRUCKIN’ conspicuously absent on both nights in the city too close to new orleans. lesh/godchaux/weir lock into gorgeous patterns under garcia’s BIRD SONG flight. really sweet TOMORROW IS FOREVER. 39-minute DARK STAR > MISSISSIPPI HALF-STEP. sleepy pre-verse jazz, almost gentle bass. after, lesh solo builds to deconstructive PHILO STOMP, moving into brightness. weir briefly plays proto-WEATHER REPORT SUITE PRELUDE, but no one else quite registers. nice landing, too. [2/3]
50 years ago tonight, the #gratefuldead in houston, finishing a weekend. another night originally scheduled with the allman bros. late fall ’72, show #7. soundboard: https://archive.org/details/gd1972-11-19.122784.sbd.miller-gans.flac24 [1/3]
