BOAT TWYDTTYD: JGB, Palladium, November 10, 1981 (late show)

LN jg1981-11-10.jgb.late.aud-stankiewicz.127293.flac2496

JGB played The Palladium twice in 1981, 2/11/81 and this night. Richie Stankiewicz taped both nights. Both really good shows and really good tapes.

This one has the best of all time (BOAT, in some circles) Garcia Band version of "The Way You Do The Things You Do", IMO. It's quite good.

I also returned to this after noting the wonderful, well-developed, 22+ minute "Don't Let Go" from 3/27/82, and wanting to check out another DLG from around the era. This one from four months earlier is a spunky 9+ minutes! Big contrast, if also nice and well-played.

These Richie Stankiewicz tapes continue to impress. I have annotated the aforementioned 2/11/81, as well as his 11/15/81 from this tour, Ron Tutt Returns. Also annotated from this tour:

10/31/81: JGB, Halloween 1981
11/3/81: Nothing to Write Home About on a Charlie Miller Birthday Show
11/4/81: Positively Garcia and the East Coast Deadhead
11/10/81b (this post)
11/13/81: Frank Streeter's tape from 11/13/81 (Boston).
11/15/81: Taking care of business.
11/17/81: Two long sets, not early and late shows + Mason Taylor listening notes
11/19/81: Farewell to Ronnie at the Rainbow

It's very good, strong stuff.

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; ... = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [m:ss] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the "real" time of the event. So, a timing of [m:ss] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! P: TWYDTTYD JG is tearing shit up in the 5-min range. Very hot.

! P: s1t02 TLEO Tutt is just banging right from the start.

! s1t04 (1) JG: "We're gonna take a little break, and we'll be back in a few minutes."

! P: s2t01 ITAM JG playing very well. Nice scaling in the late 8:40s, then more good playing over the 9-min mark. More fanning 9:22ff, scaling down 9:34, pulling. Utterly characteristic Jerry Garcia guitar playing.

! P: s2t02 DLG so I am listening to this right after I heard 3/27/82, same place in the setlist. This one is a totally different beast. Much punchier, but Garcia's playing here, as there, is simply wonderful. That one was patient and deep. This one is burning much hotter, lots of fast scales, e.g., 6-7 mark. It's stunning how abruptly he ends this one, less than ten minutes! Very strange to see such a wide variation in the timing of a song within four months, under ten minutes vs. over twenty-two!
