This was one session I would have loved to have sat in on. Started out on fire with the jazz. Cheers.

[@bobbie-janegardner1160]

Thank you for lovely tunes and the promo for Music of the Unseen. Very kind of you. xx

[@paulnees1367]

Great selections as usual. I'm listening to Bridgette McWilliams now and it's excellent. Her earlier album also sounds worthy of investigation. All the best

[@Paneeks1960]

I started to watch this last night. But my weekend business got me to the exhausted point. So I made a note on where I left off and here we go. >< I was just listening to the late great Eddie Hazel's 'Games, Dames & Guitar Thangs'. I did not know that he played on that Chairman Of The Board album. >< Have not listened to Ian Dury in years. >< IU did see the 'Cat Under The Stairs' Garcia solo tour in Feb of 1980 at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. The show was very mellow from start to finish. I am sure you remember his backup performer. Her name was Rachel Sweet. A few months later I saw him with The Dead at Boston Garden. Ah yes. Terrapin Station. My all time favorite Dead album. Estimated Prophet. Nothing better. It was written in septuple time. Weir's best vocal on any Dead album. Just fantastic. Outstanding share session guys. Have a super week Mark and John~

Hi Rob. The Orpheum is such a lovely venue! Would love to have seen Jerry there. Sadly he never came to the UK with the JGB and he was never touring when I was in the US. I did however take a diversion from a work trip to see the Dead in 1989 in Philly. I really hoped to get a Terrapin and I got one! Been fun this year to think back on the 1972 Europe tour. I even ended up on an episode of the Deadcast talking about the Lyceum gigs. Hope that you're very well. Must be starting to get cold there.

@@omniversal7 Hi John. It is starting to get colder here. We had a few 30° nights recently. As soon as it starts to go under 32° at night it usually means that the awful snowy stuff is around the corner. I can honestly get through the winter cold. But I am not in any way, shape or form a fan a snow, sleet, ice and whatever else the winter skies dump upon New England. >< You mentioned The Orpheum. Have you ever seen a show there? Better still. Did I ever ask you if you have been to Boston?

[@omniversal7]

@@Paneeks1960 Hi Rob - Yes been to Boston a few times. Great city! Last in 2005 when we saw Nickel Creek at the Orpheum and I think I also before in the 90s (Ani DiFranco I think). I was usually in Boston for work but often stayed longer. Quite a few other New England links. One of my oldest friends comes from Springfield and I had a friend who lived for a while just over the border in Vermont.

Hi guys best of luck in the World Cup. Hope ye win it superb panel of talented players this cycle. I saw Jeff Parker live at the Cork jazz festival last month.

[@drrhythmn]

Really digging him right now - actually listening to the Isotope 217 album as I write this - thank you for the best wishes for the World Cup - I have to say the international rugby is catching more of my attention right now...

[@bencostello7317]

@@drrhythmn Yeah geez that was some come back by ye yesterday. Brilliant really. I hope you didn’t have to endure our turgid encounter with the Wallabies like I did Mark. ‘Twas shocking stuff and the ref was a real whistle-merchant. 12 home wins on the trot for us now but ye and France to come here next, so…… At least we end the year #1 in world ranking.

[@drrhythmn]

@@bencostello7317 and well deserved too!

[@omniversal7]

Mr Costello!!! Thanks - yes hoping for a win for France in the football World Cup 🤫 though I think Argentina or Brazil are more likely winners. Your rugby team though are on fire. How was Jeff Parker? And yes - we need you back!

[@bencostello7317]

@@omniversal7 Couple of early walkouts actually John. But I thought he was very good. Had a long chat with him afterwards it’s his first time playing CJF since he was last here ‘99. Thanks mate.

[@Thevinylscavenger]

Gents I cannot imagine you listening to to Derek & Clive ever swearing once yourselves except maybe if Harry McGuire falls over in the final and gives away a goal. The bluest you got was right at the end saying links are at the bottom.

[@SCjuisy]

Hi, nice video. Cabbage Alley is my favourite Meters album. Not as funky as their other stuff, but the songs are more interesting than the songs on their other albums. Greetings

[@drrhythmn]

Greetings to you too and thank you for listening in and sharing your love of the Meters - what a great bunch of musicians!

[@Localbandography]

If anything is recorded from Bobbie-Jane’s performances please pass a link along if you can.

[@Ed-Topo-108]

Terrapin Station is so good. . The title track is totally Prog! You’ve probably both heard David Murray’s version of Estimated Prophet on “Dark Star..The Music of The Grateful Dead”. Amazing track!

[@drrhythmn]

Just played it on tonight's All Points - what a tune!

[@andymart61]

Great video, as always. Always learn a lot from these videos. I don't know if it's just me but the sound on this video keeps changing volume intermittently. Anyway keep up the great work!

[@drrhythmn]

It wasn't just you Andy - something odd going on with the iPhone mic - will remedy for the next instalment - thank you for tuning in

[@Ed-Topo-108]

That Ian Dury album & single still sound amazing. I think Chaz Jankel from the Blockheads wrote Ai No Corrida on Quincy’s “The Dude” album.

[@omniversal7]

Never knew that about Ai No Corrida! Somebody in Q's camp must have had some sharp antennae (Rod Temperton?)

[@Ed-Topo-108]

@@omniversal7 of course.. Maybe a Rod Temperton connection! I guess Quincy had hundreds of potential song options for each album. Was pretty obscure finding Velas by Ivan Lins on there too.

[@omniversal7]

@@Ed-Topo-108 That's a great song too!

[@michaelvalentini4869]

John and Mark, thank you for another great dispatch from across the Pond. I love going ''backwards'' with Zappa and the Beatles. I first learned about The Chairmen Of The Board through their vocalist, General Johnson. He had a hit in 1961 with ''It Will Stand'' recorded by his band, The Showmen. I have the Holland- Dozier- Holland box set with the Chairmen covering ''Give Me Just A Little More Time''. Is ''Skin I'm In'' a Sly Stone cover song? Thank you for mentioning Goodrick and Downie! I love all the work Mick did with Gary Burton on ECM, ''Ring'' is excellent but on somedays I might prefer ''Dreams So Real'' featuring the tunes of Carla Bley. Goodrick also adds spice to Haden and Bley's Liberation Orchestra's ''Ballad of the Fallen'' and ''Dream Keeper'' recordings. Goodrick's ECM album '' In Pas(s)ing'' has alluded me but I've heard the track ''Feebles, Fables, Ferns'', it's on a Jack Dejohnette ECM compilation. Tyrone Downie also worked with The Tom Tom Club and so many others. Grace Jones wrote ''My Jamaican Guy'', which is a song about Tyrone Downie. The song ''Passengers'' co-written by Phil Lesh is a nice deep track on ''Terrapin Station'', the live version of ''Passengers'' on the ''Dead Set'' album from the early 1980's is a beauty. John Martyn's ''Piece By Piece'' album is another late-period masterwork.

[@drrhythmn]

Thank you Michael for all your thoughts, connections and knowledge. I had no idea My Jamaican Guy was about Tyrone Downie! I will listen again to Passengers and seek out the live version too - cheers

[@omniversal7]

Hi Michael. Agree that it's a close call between Dreams So Real and Ring. Mick is great with the Liberation Music Orchestra. Sadly he was missing the only time I saw them in France. Also need to track down In Pas(s)ing! Played Dead Set the other day. Good Brokedown Palace, Candyman and Friend of the Devil on there too. Not a popular album but I quite like it!

[@michaelvalentini4869]

@@omniversal7 John, no surprise that Goodrick played on a Mike Gibbs album too. I wish for a Mike Gibbs box set, maybe in 2023. The deluxe 2-cd version of Dead Set, is more of a good thing.

[@omniversal7]

@@michaelvalentini4869 A Gibbs box set would be very nice! He was the first big band I ever saw and went on to a number of their gigs in the early 70s. My favourite of all the UK big bands I think. Great textures. Probably the closest to Gil Evans? I hadn't realised how much extra material was on the Dead Set deluxe CD! I thought it was just Space that was added.. D'oh ....
