I recently bought a used copy of a Garcia album I have never seen or heard of before. "Run for The Roses" has two very fun cuts on it: I Saw Her Standing There Knocking on Heavens Door I really like it when Jerry et. al. rearrange and perform other artists works. ( usually better than the original! ) In live performances I have heard other dead interpretations of this sort. The most memorable ones ? Second That Emotion The Harder They Come It would be nice to have a tape with some dead versions of non dead compositions. Do any of you have selections of this sort in your dead tape collections? Phil Cohen ucbvax!sdcsvax!phil or phil@nosc p.s. What's the harm in a grateful dead newsgroup? all flames to /dev/null!

I am all for a dead news group; (*warning bad pun-- sort of the newgroup to read after net.suicide). but seriously i would like see a discussion about terrapin station. Where was it made? Who did the high-powered instrumental. It is one of the dead's more different albums. Anybody out there know this stuff (trivia, some might call it).

Why don't some people like the Dead? I'll tell you why. All their music sounds the same. Sure, I can hear one of their songs and know what its title is; they don't just photocopy the sheets. However, listening to a Dead song that you haven't heard before is unlikely to be a very new experience. This is even more so now, when they don't even bother to write any more songs. I'll grant you that they have a reasonable amount of talent with their instruments, but it's nothing really awesome. It would take some truly amazing performers to make such same-seeming songs interesting. Bye, I'm unsubscribing. Any flames I get will be ignored. net.music.who, net.music.floyd, net.music.zappa, anyone? Tim Maroney
