Steal Your Eternal

hirsute_biped · 07.11.2015, 08:33 AM

Okay, found part of the City Winery show, set II only though, doesn't seem to have Lee's guest spot based on setlist. Haven't had a chance to listen yet. Lets keep asking them to upload all sets!:

Edit: Oh, I guess this is a recording from the Brooklyn Bowl earlier in the year... I'm not getting enough sleep these days! Here is a review/setlist for the City Winery show, sounds like Lee played on Sugaree, Dark Star, Bertha, & Not Fade Away:

Cheers, thanks, but part of me feels like you might be facetious, as I know how deep anti-Dead sentiment can run in punk-related circles. If anything, these bands have taught us to embrace a wide musical spectrum. This article in Wired is interesting in that it shows how even if you can't stand their music, the Dead really reshaped the modern music scene as we know it. We as a network of passionate music fans and traders of live concert recordings are standing on the shoulders of Deadheads who pioneered and refined these practices at every stage of technological evolution. http://www.wired.com/2015/07/gratefu...tech-pioneers/
Makes me wonder if the contents of the late great Utkonos archive of live SY recordings could eventually end up on the archive.org Live Music Archive site, as it seems they have stable servers and decent semi-organisation. There is a lot of Dead material and crummy third rate jam band music on there ("one and the same" I imagine some of you say), but also Godspeed, Mogwai, Tortoise, Low, & probably other SYG approved artists I've been sleeping on, so it is not without precedent. I believe it would take direct permission from the band to do so.

I (a) always felt sonic youth has their own musical version of what the Dead due, (b) love sonic youth bootlegs with a similar passion to my extensive Dead library and (c) did in fact tell Lee at the Filter Party Show here in LA a few years back (ok, it may have been ten years but eh) that show had the communal feeling of a classic Dead show at the Fillmore. Sonic Yoth like the Dead always felt like a band in tune and interconnected with the community of their fans

Lee is Free · 07.16.2015, 10:29 PM

That's the City Winery setlist. I played Sugaree (w Jenny Lewis on backing vocals), Dark Star (I took first verse, Ira took second verse), and Bertha. It was a total blast, as was the whole weekend... I have the three songs I did on video, complete I think. Might be fun to post Dark Star...

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 07.16.2015, 11:01 PM

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Lee is Free again.

You can't not post Dark Star now...
Any thoughts on Sonic Youth and/or Lee solo live recordings (be they audience or soundboard) becoming part of Archive.org's Live music Archive?

start to see the dead doc...should i smoke something to follow this musical trip ?

Lee shows up for a few seconds in the new Bob Weir documentary The Other One (on Netflix), talking about admiring and endeavoring to imitate Bob's rhythm guitar style. Bob talks about imitating jazz pianists chordal inversions, especially McCoy Tyner's work in the Coltrane quartet. It made me realize another commonality between the Youth and the Dead is seeking out harmonic complexity in a rock context. The Dead did it via jazz techniques applied to rock, the Youth did it via radical tuning via Branca, Chatham, and Fahey. Both embraced a fluid dynamic between song structure and improvisation, though with only a little stylisitic overlap.
