For Any Deadheads...

Just curious if any listeners of the Dead (like myself

) new that the song Passenger from 1977's Terrapin Station :http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...music&n=507846 , written by bassist Phil Lesh, was based around Station Man.

Just thought that would be an interesting read (I read it in the liner notes of my Dead Box Set)

Also, Terrapin Station was produced by Keith Olsen

I knew about it being produced by Keith Olsen, but the "Station Man" thing is new. What was weird is the first time I heard "Estimated Prophet" was on the radio, and for some reason, it reminded me of "Hypnotized."

But, what I find odd is that we know of Keith Olsen's involvement with Fleetwood Mac. However, he produced the Whitesnake album (Here I Go Again/Is This Love) that featured Aynsely Dunbar on drums.

In 1970 that vortex met in New Orleans. It was pretty neat!
The Dead connection begins the Mac deterioration.
Peter bested BB. Danny held his own...Jeremy was Jeremy.
A good time was had by all

Passenger is an ok GD song...wasn't played all that much at their concerts.

I'm eventually going to get Dick's Picks 29, which has got 6 discs, one show from Georgia, and one from Florida, and it's got Passenger on it

. Dosen't seem like they could do much with it, jam wise

An album filler song in my humble opinion...Estmated Prophet and terrapin station are the best from that album.

Dancin' in the streets cover and Samson & Delilah are pretty good also...sunrise and passenger helped fill out the record...sunrise was done live a bit...but Donna never sang very well...and as you mentioned...not much jamming

Terrapin Station... One of The Greatest Songs EVER

(just my oppinion)

One of my fovorite Dead songs

But, yes, Estimated Prophet & Terrapin are the best on the record

For me, when it comes to the Grateful Dead, there's not much that can beat what was side one of the Blues For Allah album. Especially live (most of disc one of One From The Vaults).

But, also, being a Lowell George fan, I love Shakedown Street, which is probably the most UN-Deadlike Grateful Dead album ever.

No question that Blues For Allah is one of their best studio albums, right there with Anthem of The Sun. True Dead.

I love I Need A Miracle & Shakedown Street from, Shakedown Street. Great tracks
