Album Review: Grateful Dead - Wake of the Flood: The Angel’s Share

Given all the difficulty Phil Lesh had when trying to teach “Unbroken Chain” to his bandmates, it’s no surprise the Grateful Dead ignored the song for more than two decades before finally playing it live in 1995.

Fans were ecstatic when the song finally made it to the stage. But, truth be told, the Dead had as hard a time with the “Unbroken Chain” in ’95 as they did in 1973.

The group began working on what was known as “Phil’s Song” during sessions for Wake of the Flood. As outtakes released on the digital-only Angel’s Share edition of that LP make clear, Lesh stumped his comrades with the song’s complexity, causing Jerry Garcia to complain he wasn’t having a good time.

“It’s not supposed to be fun, it’s supposed to be right,” an exasperated Lesh tells the guitarist.

“It turns around,” Lesh had said to the band earlier. “I’m telling you, it turns around so that what was the offbeat is now the one.”

Surrounded by multiple takes of the songs that would make up Wake of the Flood - “Unbroken Chain” was held for From the Mars Hotel - “Phil’s Song” is a highlight. Other insightful gems include the band, with sax player Martin Fierro in tow, poring over the sonic blueprints to construct Keith Godchaux’s “Let Me Sing Your Blues Away” from scratch and the stunningly delicate and intricate ensemble playing across four stabs at “Weather Report Suite” and three earlier takes dubbed “I Am the Rain.”

As with the previously released Angel’s Share editions of Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty, the consecutive iterations of album tracks including ‘Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo,” “Stella Blue,” “Eyes of the World” and “Pistol Shot (China Doll)” can grow tedious; mercifully, “Row Jimmy” appears but once.

Donna Jean Godchaux must’ve added her parts toward the end of the recording process as she is a non-factor on this bonus LP, which previews the 50th-anniversary edition of Wake, slated for Sept. 29. Instead, listeners are treated to tentative vocal performances as the band works out the music, paired with chatter, false starts, aborted takes and related ephemera. This makes Wake of the Flood: The Angel’s Share a fascinating one- or two-time listen to the Grateful Dead in raw form. But it’s not something for regular spinning.

Stop saying Isaac is “sad and lonely” based on the pictures

I’m super excited about Isaac’s storyline in s2 but i’m already starting to get a little annoyed about people feeling sorry for him saying “he is all by himself ☹️ he is so alone” just because he isn’t coupled up in the pictures. You have no idea what his storyline will be yet as it is not in the comics and it sucks that just because Alice has said he is aspec/arospec that you are already projecting that means he is going to be alone or lonely and that that is something to be pitied. Feeling lonely or confused may very well be part of his storyline but its not fair to assume that aspec/arospec=alone and lonely.There are many other character who are not in couples and no one is saying this about them. Only Isaac.

romantic relationships are not everything-some people are happily unpartnered, some aspecs/arospecs are in relationships or qpps or a variety of other situations, also maybe he is demi, you literally have no idea and yall making it seem like being ace or aroace or aro is a sad life SUCKS to see. Yes feeling isolated or like we are different can be PART of the experience but it’s not fair to assume that from just this picture. Or assume that because he is crying it’s he realized he is aroace (yes people are saying this on twitter) when he could be crying for any number of reasons because he is a whole person outside of his sexuality. The point of my rant is you don’t know anything from the pictures and the fact that thats your first assumption is hurtful. So from an ace heartstopper fan, please stop and just wait to see how is storyline is and be conscious of how you talk about him once it airs. Thanks

#heartstopper #asexuality #ace #isaac heartstopper #maybe its just me but literally every time a picture is released there is a flood of people saying poor isaac and it really bothers me #aroace #aromantic #i might delete this when i wake up but im angry rn

You know for a fact as soon as Furina knew she could safely drop the act poor girl slept like the dead

#like NOTHING could wake her up for 100+ hours #after bawling her eyes out ofc #poor girl endured ALOT of bullshit #like the borderline coma was maybe a week after the whole ordeal and she settled #but didnt quite realise she didn't need to mask anymore #fontainians worried for a second flood of Neuvis worry and furina BAWLING #real? #you genshined in the wrong impact #furina #genshin impact #neuvillette #fontaine #teehee #too many tags #but i have thoughts #about feelings unseen

[baeshijima]

this is a bit more of a serious post than usual, but to anyone reading this, please remember and make sure to take some time for yourself if you're feeling affected by the happenings of today.

please, please, please break away from social media or even genshin if it'll help because first and foremost your health and state is the priority and i'm saying this because the day has been incredibly mentally taxing and a lot to take in, and i know some people who have been heavily affected by it so i wanted to remind you all that it's fine to take a break if you need to!

sending everyone (those directly affected, affected once finding out, and you reading this rn) lots of love and you could consider this a break checkpoint ;w; <33

#sophie’s idle chatter #no but waking up to that specifically was just... god #i will now just not look at twt bc its flooding my timeline and hhhnsd

Song Review: Grateful Dead - “Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleoo” (Live, Nov. 1, 1973)

Sonic issues notwithstanding, the Grateful Dead’s Nov. 1, 1973, performance of “Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodleoo” is a fine early specimen of the Wake of the Flood track - a number that would become an in-concert warhorse.

Following Jerry Garcia’s solo “Eyes of the World” demo in previewing the Sept. 29 release of Wake of the Flood (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition), this “Half-Step” is fully formed and well-sung. And while every instrument is captured - yay for Keith Godchaux’s piano and Bob Weir’s rhythm guitar - Garcia’s vocals sound as if they’re emanating from another stage far away from his bandmates.

This recording flaw is likely why only parts of the show are slated to appear on the upcoming release. For its part, “Half-Step” is worthy despite its sonic shortcomings.

#i feel like with it turning to night in regions without rain the implication is that the rain lasts a night #but imo it lasts like a week and then there's a few more days where the water in flooded areas recedes #it just happens that after the flood recedes and everyone comes out of hibernation its the last day #of no rain until the next storm #so even if it's rainless for multiple days its still a very short window of time for most creatures to do anything bc they gotta wait for i #to actually be traversible. so they just adapt around that and wake up at just the right time on the last day #rain world

Finally!

I don't have to ever watch a movie ever again!

(Negativity warning: I mentioned the other movies by comparison in this post, & I'm still mad at those movies. You know how sometimes your feelings on something change after watching it? Well, I'm only getting angrier. Hooray!)

Gosh theyre asleep in call right now and immmm auehwiehwiehwieh. Talking to him is so amazing always. Shes so caring and understanding and gentle with me. I feel safe. Im able to ask for clarification and not worry about it. They know amd understand stuff that ive been through and are just so isnqiheqiheiwhe shes so nice to me about it. He has a real big talent of saying things I need to hear before I even ask for them and it always makes me so fucking happy.

We meld together so well. It feels like we continue to meet each other where its needed and it meshes so fucking well. Being able to give each other the love and affection we’ve been wanting or maybe not even daring to want and receiving anyways. Both having the feeling of “i cant believe Im the person you chose” and its soooo sweet and mushy and beautiful.

Hes so understanding of my fluctuations in sex repulsion and insecurities i have. Being able to be told that shed be here even if I never wanted to do anything sexual again but also being told that i got them so worked up that they have to go get off right now. Feeling attractive and wanted but not used. Im safe saying no. Im comfortable saying no.

Goshhhhh and the way they have a fucking key to my brainnnn😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 He could just look at me amd Id manage to melt right into a puddle Im sure. Shes just- ienwiehiwhe its crazy to me that theyre newer to domming cause hes so fucking good at itttt. So many of our kinks line up amd it just works so fucking good. I feel comfortable telling them if im wanting softer or harder stuff and gods everything we do is just absolutely incredible. The idea of doing stuff with just about anyone else is almost foreign to me and we havent even been talking for that longgggg.

I know that every single part of me is loved. Even the parts I hide from most people. And thats such an amazing feeling. I feel safe. I feel hope. I feel happy. I have genuinely been in tears so many times the past few weeks over just how much they mean to me, or something she said to me, or just- him. I love them. On purpose. So fucking much.

I have never even dreamt of being allowed to feel this way and be loved like this before. You are my beautiful midnight sky. The bright shining moon lighting my way. The comfort of a campfire. The awe of the stars. Visible in the daytime too. Always there. Helping me feel safe. I couldnt be more grateful that the person I get to feel like this with is you. I felt the most safety i can remember feeling in years meeting you. I was able to be myself immediately. My walls down from the beginning.

I like you. And I love you. And Im sooo attracted to you😵‍💫 (<- someone who thought it was asexual) And I cannot fucking wait to get to meet you. To hug you and hold you. Breathe you in and smile with you. To be able to look into your gorgeous eyes. And to fall for you in so many new ways. @seren-eclipsed <3

#☀️ #hai baby #i knowwwww i should be asleep #i prommy ill explain what happened when i wake up #but i wanted to leave this for you to wake up to #and just #hhhhhhhhhhhhh keep thinkin boot things youve said #im going feral #after not doin stuff for a bit the floodgates are open #and there js #definitely a flood #and im #hmfffff woof woof woof woof #and just- wanna snuggle up with youuuu #ararararara #i like you so fucking much #you amaze me every day #and im forever grateful you chose me #andddd im gonna stop typing now so i dknt sob ajdbwihd #gnightttt i love you
