Fri, 21 April 2006  In 1971, with the help of several guest musicians, David Crosby created a solo album called 'If I Could Only Remember My Name'. It included members of the Grateful Dead (Garcia, Lesh, Hart, and Kreutzman), Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and others Prior to the release of this album, David Crosby played a couple of shows with some of the pioneers of the psychedelic movement; Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, and Mickey Hart (known in some cirlces as David and the Dorks) at the Matrix in San Francisco. Tonight"s podcast will feature one of those shows. The exact date of the show is in dispute but from my research it was performed on 12/20/1970. The sound quality is decent and listenable given the times and the occasion and has some interesting versions of some Grateful Dead songs that are heavily influenced by Crosby's rhythm guitar, which to me provides a nice twist. Back at this time, the Grateful Dead had some CSN influences. Harmonies in Workingman"s Dead were inspired by the super-group who had some of the greatest harmonies of any band to date. Crosby spent time with The Grateful Dead in the early 70's and this show is a result of that relationship. You can even hear some slight influences from The Byrds (Crosby"s initial band) if you listen close enough.

Well, after getting arrested for weed and guns, he has not only recently recorded backing vocals for Gilmour's new album, 'On an Island' but he also recently, along with Graham Nash, sang some backing vocals at Gilmour's show in New York (excellent podcast link to it here). Ethridge is having twins but he had nothing to do with that one. Comments[3] |
