Podcast appearances and mentions of Dave Marsh

In this week's sermon, we find ourselves alongside Abraham as he welcomes unexpected visitors—God and two angels. God reaffirms His covenant with both Abraham and Sarah, reminding us that God doesn't just call a man or a woman, he calls families. As we witness Abraham's heartfelt dialogue with God concerning Sodom, we are reminded of the transformative power of prayer and our own potential to cultivate a friendship with God Almighty. We are encouraged to bring our personal struggles and the needs of others before God, trusting in His wisdom and grace to guide us.

In this episode we welcome not one but two guests and ask them to talk about their long-time friend and mentor Dave Marsh. Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander co-edited 2023's Marsh anthology Kick Out the Jams: on the eve of his 75th birthday they reflect on his powerful writing, his impassioned politics and his career from Creem and Rolling Stone to the Rock & Roll (subsequently Rock & Rap) Confidential newsletter he launched in 1983. An audio clip of Dave being interviewed by Daniel for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame takes us back to the former's championing of his Detroit contemporaries the MC5 and the Stooges. Meanwhile pieces about Creem itself and about his friend and frequent biographical subject Bruce Springsteen prompt our guests' amused thoughts on Dave's trenchant opinions and general combativeness.  A 1990 Vox piece about 'The Star-Spangled Banner' leads us to clips from a 1996 audio interview with one of Marsh's many Black music heroes: the sainted Curtis Mayfield. On the 60th anniversary of the Impressions' 'People Get Ready', we talk about the Chicago soul star's songs, politics, guitar-playing — and the sheer wisdom and serenity of the man. (News of the death of Mayfield's old friend and fellow Impression Jerry Butler only reached us the day after this episode was recorded.) After we've paid our respects to Jam drummer Rick Buckler, Jasper quotes from recently-added library interviews with Lil' Kim (1997) and Hipgnosis boss Merck Mercuriadis (2021). Many thanks to special guests Daniel Wolff and Danny Alexander. Kick Out the Jams: Jibes, Barbs, Tributes and Rallying Cries from 35 years of Music Writing by Dave Marsh is published by Simon & Schuster and available now from all good bookshops. Pieces discussed: Creem Reflects Detroit Rock 'n' Roll, Barry Kramer 1943–1981, Sour Creem, Bruce Springsteen: Shouldn't He Be Famous?, The Incredible Story of Iggy & the Stooges, 'The Star Spangled Banner', Curtis Mayfield audio, Rick Buckler, Lil' Kim and Merck Mercuriadis.

In this week's sermon, we journey through Genesis 17, exploring the profound relationship between Abraham and God. Abraham experienced a 13-year silence that mirrors the "dry seasons" we sometimes face in our own spiritual lives. These times are opportunities for God to deepen our faith beyond fleeting emotions. As we witness God reaffirming His covenant with Abraham, changing his name to signify a new identity and purpose, we are reminded that God often calls us to see ourselves as He sees us.

In this sermon, we journey through the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar in Genesis 16, learning the profound lesson of trusting in God's promises rather than succumbing to impatience and crafting our own plans. Waiting on God is not a passive act but a powerful spiritual discipline that allows God to work in our lives in ways we may not immediately understand.

Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges or tempted to settle for less than God's promises? Join us as we explore the story of Abraham in Genesis 15. At 85 and childless, Abraham faced doubt, yet God offered him a powerful promise, symbolized by the stars, reminding him of the blessings to come. This promise extends to us: believing in God unlocks a greater purpose. Discover how faith can transform your perspective and lead you to embrace your "made for more" moments.

Before we get too deep into the calendar year, we wanted to take some time to sit down with Synchrony Financial to help set the stage for 2025. Dave Marsh, general manager for the brand, dives into some of the more important economic indicators as well as the programs and services retailers should tap into to be successful in the new year.

THE HEART OF ROCK ‘N' ROLL—There's a saying about the Velvet Underground's first album: it didn't sell a lot of copies but everyone who bought it went on to form a band. Not everyone who read Creem went on to form a band, but almost everyone who ever wrote about rock music in a significant way has a connection to Creem. Founded in Detroit in 1969 by Barry Kramer, Creem was a finger in the eye to the more established Rolling Stone. Creem called itself “America's Only Rock ‘n' Roll Magazine” and its cheeky irreverence matched its devotion to its infamous street cred. Punk, new wave, heavy metal, alternative, indie were all championed at Creem.Writers and editors who worked for Creem read like a who's who of industry legends: Lester Bangs. Dave Marsh. Robert Christgau. Greil Marcus. Patti Smith. Cameron Crowe. Jann Uhelszki. Penny Valentine. And on and on and on.The magazine stopped publishing in 1989 a few years after Barry's death. A documentary about Creem's heyday in 2020 helped lead to a resurrected media brand, founded by JJ Kramer, Barry's son, and launched in 2022. The copy on the first issue's cover: “Rock is Dead. So is Print.”Totally typical Creem-assed fuckery. And still totally rock n roll, man. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

Genesis 14 highlights Abraham's growth in faith, courage, and generosity. Abraham evolves from a fearful man who once compromised his wife's safety to a courageous leader who rescues his nephew Lot from captivity. In part 3 of this series, we read about Abraham's deepening relationship with God, which empowers him to act with bravery and generosity, and how we can grow in those same areas.

In this sermon, we explore the life of Abraham, recognizing that like him, we often begin our spiritual journey with stumbles and uncertainties. We see how God's grace intervenes in our failures, restoring us and calling us back to our first love. As we learn from Abraham's need to set healthy boundaries with Lot, we understand the importance of doing the same in our relationships to foster peace and growth. Despite our shortcomings, we are reminded that God continually chooses us, reaffirming His promises and love. We are encouraged to embrace new seasons of growth by returning to the practices that once ignited our passion for God, trusting in His unwavering grace and mercy.

Label: Columbia 43678Year: 1966Condition: MLast Price: $40.00. Not currently available for sale.This is one of this group's finest singles. It's not only got the familiar Garage-style hit on the A side, but you'll find a neat, catchy, Beatlesque rocker on the flip. Great package! I'm glad to see Dave Marsh includes it in his list, because if it weren't there it would definitely get 2 stars from me! :-) I hope you enjoy the mp3 snippet as much as I do. Speaking of which, fans of short songs take note: "There She Goes" has a clock time of only 1:45! Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve, which has no notable flaws. This vinyl pressing has Mint labels and pristine sound.

Pastor Dave concludes this series on Philippians by exploring the theme of generosity, highlighting its power in both spiritual and practical terms. We examine Paul's experience in prison and the support he received from the Philippian Church, demonstrating that true generosity often comes from people in need rather than those who are prosperous. God uses people to meet needs and that generosity fosters deeper relationships, combats selfishness, and enriches lives.

Pastor Dave discusses the often-misunderstood verse Philippians 4:13, emphasizing its true context of contentment amidst challenging circumstances, as experienced by Paul in prison. Genuine contentment cannot be found in material wealth or possessions, but rather in a relationship with God. Pastor Dave encourages us in this message to reflect on our journey towards contentment and to cultivate gratitude for our blessings, especially in light of the upcoming holiday season.

Pastor Dave emphasizes the importance of addressing personal conflict as a barrier to experiencing God's peace, referencing Philippians 4:6-7. He reveals how Paul publicly called out two women, Euodia and Syntyche, to encourage reconciliation and highlights that conflict is a normal part of relationships. This message outlines four conflict resolution styles—prize fighters, pretenders, pacifiers, and peacemakers—advocating for a peacemaker approach to restore love and understanding. Ultimately, we're encouraged to utilize prayer, intentional conversations, and a positive thought life to cultivate lasting peace in our relationships.

Label: Sire 28591Year: 1986Condition: MLast Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original (special for the colored vinyl release) picture sleeve. Dave Marsh was right to give this great Madonna hit such a high ranking in his list of the 1001 greatest singles every made... it's a perfect pop confection and a gorgeous blend of 1980's dance rock and 1960's girl group rock. This is a copy of the limited edition pressing on clear blue vinyl. The picture sleeve is also distinguished from retail copies by having "Limited Edition Blue Vinyl Pressing" printed on the left-hand side of the front cover (see scan).

Label: Atco 7079Year: 1977Condition: M-Last Price: $18.00. Not currently available for sale.Dave Marsh was right-on when pinning this rock classic at #159 in his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul. As he says in explaining his choice, ["Solsbury Hill" is] Rock's greatest resignation speech... one of the most nakedly emotional records anyone's created in the past [forty] years. What's perhaps just as extraordinary is that... "Solsbury Hill" encapsulates the next decade or so of Peter Gabriel's career. This is a record that makes bold promises and if its power has grown over the years (and it started out powerful enough), it's not only because it offers such strong inspiration whenever you need to summon the courage to make a tough move yourself. It's because Gabriel has lent it further resonance with every move he's made. Couldn't have said it better myself! ;-) By the way, this 45 version is specially edited from a longer (4:20) album track. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atco Records factory sleeve. It has pristine Mint sound.

THE HEART OF ROCK 'N' ROLL IS STILL BEATING—There's a saying about the Velvet Underground's first album: it didn't sell a lot of copies but everyone who bought it went on to form a band. Not everyone who read Creem went on to form a band, but almost everyone who ever wrote about rock music in a significant way has a connection to Creem. Founded in Detroit in 1969 by Barry Kramer, Creem was a finger in the eye to the more established Rolling Stone. Creem called itself “America's Only Rock ‘n' Roll Magazine” and its cheeky irreverence matched its devotion to its infamous street cred. Punk, new wave, heavy metal, alternative, indie were all championed at Creem.Writers and editors who worked for Creem read like a who's who of industry legends: Lester Bangs. Dave Marsh. Robert Christgau. Greil Marcus. Patti Smith. Cameron Crowe. Jann Uhelszki. Penny Valentine. And on and on and on.The magazine stopped publishing in 1989 a few years after Barry's death.

So is Print.”Totally typical Creem-assed fuckery. And still totally rock n roll, man. ©2024 The Full-Bleed Podcast is a production of Magazeum LLC. Visit magazeum.co for more information.

We continue this study of Philippians by reflecting on Paul's journey and transformation. Despite Paul's dark past as a persecutor of Christians, God chose him for a significant purpose, demonstrating that no one is disqualified from God's calling due to their history. We're encouraged to focus on our future in Christ rather than dwelling on past mistakes, because we are all new creations in Him. Past struggles can be reminders of resilience rather than obstacles.

In this sermon, Pastor Dave draws from Philippians 2:12-15 to emphasize the importance of allowing the inner work of salvation to manifest outwardly in our lives. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to let the grace within us shine outwardly, transforming our lives and impacting a world in need of light. We also discuss the importance of obedience, the pitfalls of complaining, and the power of a transformed life as a testimony to others.

Label: Columbia SP 10287Year: 1970Condition: M-Price: $75.00This incredible, rare 4-song EP not only has a gorgeous psychedelic picture sleeve, but also 4 of the group's best, less-played nuggets--two of which are among the four Byrds tracks on Dave Marsh's list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made! The first song was previously unreleased and is itself a Byrds classic of the first order. It appeared on an LP about the same time as this promo EP, entitled "Untitled/Unissued". The four songs are:Lover of the Bayou (McGuinn-Levy)So You Want To Be A Rock And Roll Star (McGuinn-Hillman)Goin' Back (G. Goffin-C. King)Chimes of Freedom (B. Dylan)The record was issued for Scholastic Book Services in conjunction with a book about the Byrds issued by Scholastic Books. Note that the EP label has a custom imprint of the Byrds "logo". A very cool collectable indeed!

Label: MGM 13721Year: 1967Condition: M-Last Price: $20.00. Not currently available for sale.Credited to "Eric Burdon & The Animals," this is the group's finest foray into psychedelic rock. Every time I hear the opening guitar growl, it's obvious where Black Sabbath got the inspiration for the similar opening growl to "Iron Man." Now in the Classic 45's jukebox, cause it's one of those nuggets that just doesn't get played often enough. The big mystery to me is why Dave Marsh left it off his list of the 1,001 greatest 45s of Rock'n'Soul. It would definitely be on my list (if I ever make one!) For one thing, this is a single that was not included on any contemporary Animals album ? this was a previously unreleased, non-LP single. The two sides eventually got added to an Animals compilation CD, but you won't find them anywhere on vinyl (to my knowledge) except on this little 45 record. (And may I say how incredible the audio is? Stunning doesn't come close!) Note: This beautiful copy has a drillhole and comes in a vintage MGM Records factory sleeve. The vinyl has some notable scuffs, particularly on the B side, grading a strong EX. Miraculously, the audio comes through clean Near Mint with just a touch of surface noise here and there. (This scan is a representative image from our archives--the copy for sale has NO drillhole)

This sermon explores the theme of "Unity Through Humility," as we see in Philippians 2:1-11. True peace and harmony within the Church are cultivated through a humble heart and Pastor Dave contrasts the world's pride with the Kingdom of God, where humility is a treasured virtue. The ultimate example of humility—Jesus Christ—laid down His rights and privileges for the sake of others, showcasing the transformative power of His sacrificial love.

Label: Brunswick 55239Year: 1963Condition: MLast Price: $30.00. Not currently available for sale.Here's a beautiful Mint copy of this essential early Soul classic, which Dave Marsh pegs at #758 in his Top 1,001 Singles list. The B side, by the way, is a non-album cut. Note: This 45 comes in a vintage Brunswick Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Instead of despairing while imprisoned, Paul views his situation as an opportunity to further the gospel and expresses a profound peace with the potential outcomes of his imprisonment, whether it's freedom or death. Living with an eternal perspective, where "to live is Christ and to die is gain," can transform your life with hope and purpose. This message focuses on surrender, faith, and the promise of resurrection.

Label: Atlantic 2605Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $8.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy with a drillhole. Did Clarence Carter make ANY bad singles? Well, the closest he came may have been 'Patches,' which is the one most folks know since it was his biggest hit. But even 'Patches' has its charms. The rest are masterpieces of soul, like this one. By the way, it's the Deep Soul flip of this 45 that made Dave Marsh's list all the way up at #61... not that the Funky uptempo A side is unworthy of your affection! Have a listen to the mp3 snippet to see what I mean. Note: These copies may have some very light storage wear, which is why the Vinyl is graded Near Mint. The drillhole may appear at a different spot than shown in the scan.

Label: Mercury 72898Year: 1969Condition: M-Price: $15.00This is far from an obscure soul nugget (which I usually reserve the Classic 45s jukebox for), but I got serious goosebumps when playing it today and realized I just don't hear it often enough! Dave Marsh has it pegged just right, slipping it in the top 100 of his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of Rock'n'Soul — a triumph for both the singer and for the writer/producers and their nascent Philly Soul style. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Mercury Records factory sleeve.

In 1985, a group of musicians came together to raise awareness about the oppressive, racist government in South Africa.  Organized by Steven Van Zandt, the group calling themselves Artists United Against Apartheid was, according to music critic Dave Marsh, “the most diverse line up of popular musicians ever assembled for a single session” and the list is pretty amazing.”  Just some of the names include Bono, George Clinton, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Kurtis Blow, Miles Davis, Ringo Star, David Ruffin, Joey Ramone, Run DMC, Keith Richard, Bruce Springsteen, Herbie Hancock, Bonnie Raitt, that dude from Midnight Oil, AND the Fat Boys.  They jointly refused to ever play at Sun City, a luxury resort in South Africa that symbolized the racial segregation of South Africa, and they released a protest album called Sun City to raise awareness.  In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're diving into the history and impact of Artists United Against Apartheid.

Many years ago, I was a young man in my 20s and working for a man with a very strong personality. I didn't grow up with a father in the home so this man was really the first male authority figure in my life. As I worked with him, I didn't realize that his strong personality coupled with my need for approval became the perfect recipe for something the Bible calls the fear of man. As a few years passed, I realized something was wrong…

This week, we continue our study on the fear of man.

I'm not sure how many of us realize just how impacted our lives are by this thing called, “the fear of man.” We recognize its symptoms, but we often don't understand the source of those symptoms. The fear of man is when the approval of people in your life becomes more important to you than the approval of God. In this message, we look at the life of Elijah and how even he had to overcome the fear of man. 

The Church must speak up, disciple up, and train up a generation to navigate through cultural issues with truth and love. How do we do that? We do that through a partnership between the Church and the home. || Pastor Dave Marsh

Label: Hollywood 70Year: 1959Condition: M-Last Price: $60.00. Not currently available for sale.One of the very best doo-wop rockers that failed to hit the Billboard charts. No wonder Dave Marsh places it so high on his list of the 1,001 greatest singles of the rock era! This beautiful copy has such awesome audio I made an mp3 "snippet" for you to hear... Enjoy! The is a copy of the early, maroon-label pressing. (Blue labels are later pressings.) Like all of their 45s, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy has pristine Mint labels, and the vinyl looks almost untouched. The audio plays very close to Mint (check out the mp3 "snippet" of it).

Label: Sire 28591Year: 1986Condition: MPrice: $12.50Dave Marsh was right to give this great Madonna hit such a high ranking in his list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made... it's a perfect pop confection and a gorgeous blend of 1980's dance rock and 1960's girl group rock. The B side is a previously unreleased, non-album track. Note: This beautiful 45 record has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio), and the picture sleeve is Near Mint with a little top-edge wear including one tiny tear.

Label: Philles/Coll. 3210Year: 1963Condition: M-Price: $12.00The A side was originally released on Philles 111. However, the B side of this limited-edition release on Collectables was never released, before or since, on vinyl or CD. (That's why I don't tag this 45 as a reissue.) I had a bit of a jaw-dropping moment when listening to it, for as a huge fan of Spector's Philles productions, it was like discovering a long lost, never released Beatles studio recording. For those who aren't already fans of Darlene Love, she was, in the view of many, the best singer in Phil Spector's stable of talented girl-group vocalists. Aside from the handful of classics she released under her own name, she also sang lead vocals on the Crystals' "He's a Rebel" as well as on "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," a hit for Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans. You'll notice that Dave Marsh places two of her 3 chart singles in his list of the 1001 greatest singles of all time ?? this one and "Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home." In addition to these, Love hit Billboard's Hot 100 with the amazing "A Fine Fine Boy." But somehow, "Strange Kind of Love" must have got lost on one of the studio tapes, only emerging much later. This Collectables release is the first (and only) appearance of the song on 45 rpm vinyl.Incidentally, the tune's writers (who actually recorded on their own under various names, including the Trade Winds) have credits to numerous classic 1960s hits, including "New York's A Lonely Town," "Do I Love You?" by the Ronettes, and "Soldier Baby" by Candy & the Kisses.

Phil Lesh's Triumphant Return: A Musical Journey 25 Years Ago TodayLarry Mishkin provides a retrospective analysis of a significant musical event from April 15th, 1999, focusing on Phil Lesh's return to the stage after surgery, marking the first Phil and Friends show.  He discusses the lineup, including Trey Anastasio and Paige McConnell from Phish, and highlights their performance of various songs, notably "Viola Lee Blues" and "Hello Old Friend." The discussion also touches on recent music news, including the cancellation of the Skull and Roses festival and a tribute event for Jimmy Buffett featuring Paul McCartney and the Eagles. Additionally, it anticipates Fish's upcoming performances at the Las Vegas Sphere venue. Phil Lesh & FriendsApril 15, 1999 (25 years ago)Warfield Theater, S.F.Phil Lesh and Friends Live at Warfield Theater on 1999-04-15 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive Lineup:Phil Lesh - BassSteve Kimock - GuitarsJohn Molo - DrumsTrey Anastasio - GuitarPage McConnell – Keys  INTRO:                      Hello Old Friend                                    Track # 1                                    0:10 – 1:47 25 years ago, Phil Lesh & Friends featuring guitarist Trey Anastasio and keyboardist Page McConnell of Phish kicked off their landmark three-night run at The Warfield in San Francisco on this date in 1999. Guitarist Steve Kimock and drummer John Molo rounded out the lineup of one of the most memorable collaborations the jam world has seen.This was the first ever performance of Phil & Friends and quite a memorable group of Friends to be playing with at a storied S.F. music venue.The shows also marked Lesh's return after undergoing liver transplant surgery at the age of 58 due to chronic hepatitis C infection. The April 15 concert kicked off with Phil and his sons Brian (??) And Grahame Lesh (12), backed by guitarist Steve Kimmock, in front of the curtain, performing Eric Clapton's “Hello Old Friend” as a fitting first song back for Phil. Both boys are strong musicians and Grahame, who graduated from Stanford in 2010 with a music degree, is a regular touring member of Phil and Friends in addition to playing with his own band, Midnight North.Phil Lesh's surgery took place at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida on December 17, 1998, barely 4 months earlier. Lesh, who was 58 at the time, had been suffering from internal bleeding caused by hepatitis C, which he was diagnosed with in 1992. He received the liver of a young man named Cody and his since started encores of his concerts by preaching the importance of becoming an organ donor."Hello Old Friend" is a country rock song, written and recorded by the British rock musician Eric Clapton. The track was released in October 1976 as the first of two singles from Clapton's 1976 studio album entitled No Reason to Cry. the AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann notes, "Hello Old Friend" is the best pop/rock song on the album. He goes on describe the title as a "identifiable" Clapton piece of music.[2]Rolling Stone journalist Dave Marsh called the song "a whimsical and silly slice of attempted innocence".[3]Billboard said that it has a reggae feel similar to that of "I Shot the Sheriff."[4]Record World called it "a midtempo number constructed around a network of acoustic and slide guitars.” The Grateful Dead never played the song in concert.   The five-piece then showed off its firepower with a 34-minute “Viola Lee Blues.”  SHOW No. 1:           Viola Lee Blues                                    Track # 2                                    31:30 – 33:01 In a 1999 interview with Jambands.com, Lesh revealed that it was Anastasio's idea to do “Viola Lee” and talked about how he started listening to Phish and also how the collaboration came about. Read an excerpt below:“[Phish's music]…was absolutely entrancing, it was just gorgeous…but I couldn't hear the piano well on the live tapes, so I went back to the CD's and started listening to Page and what he was doing, and so I said “Well…” and my wife said “Come on, Come on, give them a call.” Somehow I got their phone numbers, and I gave them both a call. We talked about it, and they said we'd love to do it, and so we set a date, and we started calling back and forth, and like I said earlier they brought in a dozen Grateful Dead tunes I never would have thought of doing, but they wanted to [do] them. And we got together at rehearsal and the first thing we did together was “Viola Lee Blues,” and from there on out it was like now let's do this one, and let's do this one. It was real rehearsal in the sense that the Grateful Dead rarely was. Grateful Dead rehearsals were kind of comical. We believed in public rehearsals.” A long time favorite of Phil's, he picked it as one of the live tunes for the GD album, Fallout From The Phil Zone – a collection of some of Phil's favorite live tracks of various Dead tunes released on June 17, 1997.  In the liner notes he said this of the song: “The definitive early Grateful Dead jammin' tune, the first one we ever really stretched out beyond all recognition, by using what we called then “shifting gears” – which is really nothing but a twenty minute accelerando, influenced by the North Indian music that we were listening to a lot at that time.” Played only 44 times by the BandFirst:  March 19, 1966 at Carthay Studios, Los Angeles, CA,Last:  October 31, 1970 at Stony Brook Gymnasium in Stony Brook, NY Also played June 27, 2015 at Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA, USA  50th Anniversary shows MUSIC NEWS:Skull and Roses called off, no refunds After the exploratory, bar-setting, “Viola Lee,” the quintet would run through more material from the Dead canon with Trey and Page harmonizing on “Big Railroad Blues,” Phil singing “Jack-a-Roe” and Phil, Trey and Page harmonizing on “Cosmic Charley”   SHOW No. 2:           Cosmic Charlie                                    Track #5                                    3:25 – 5:12 Old Time Music and Hope Barnett: Grateful Dead was known for their unique and poetic songwriting style, and “Cosmic Charlie” is no exception. Released in 1969 on their album “Aoxomoxoa,” this song has captivated fans for decades with its enigmatic lyrics and psychedelic sound. Exploring themes of spirituality, love, and the human experience, “Cosmic Charlie” takes listeners on a sonic journey unlike any other. The meaning behind “Cosmic Charlie” is open to interpretation, as with many of the band's songs. Some believe it was inspired by the vision of a fictional character named Cosmic Charlie, who travels through different dimensions, spreading joy and love. Others see it as a metaphor for the human longing for connection and transcendence. The lyrics, although cryptic at times, convey a sense of wonder and mystery that invites listeners to delve deeper into their own consciousness. The overall message of “Cosmic Charlie” seems to be one of embracing the cosmic and spiritual aspects of life. It encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions, explore the unknown, and seek connection with the universe. The song invites individuals to tap into their inner selves and discover the hidden realms of existence. While “Cosmic Charlie” was never released as a single and did not enjoy mainstream success, it holds a special place in the Grateful Dead's discography and the hearts of their fans. Its eclectic and unique style showcased the band's experimental tendencies and cemented their reputation as pioneers of the psychedelic rock genre. Love hearing Trey and Page singing along on this old timey Dead gem. Played 45 times by the Dead (38 in 1969 and 1970, 1 in 1971 and, inexplicably, 6 in 1976.First: January 17, 1969 at Robertson Gymnasium, University of California Santa Barbara Campus, CA, USALast: September 25, 1976 at Capital Centre, Landover, MD, USA 1984 Deadheads would pass around a petition asking the band to play the song again and also pass out cards before the show with the lyrics just in case they played it. Finally, for the Phish fans in the crowded Warfield, the first Phish tune of the run (and only one that night), “Wolfman's Brother.” SHOW No. 3:           Wolfman's Brother                                    Track # 6                                    1:30 – 2:58 On this one, writing credit goes to the entire band plus long time Phish lyricist, Tom Marshall.Released on Hoist (stylized as (HOIST)) is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Phish, released on March 29, 1994, by Elektra Records. At the time of its release, Hoist was Phish's best selling album to date, peaking at No. 34 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album was certified gold by the RIAA on August 19, 1996, and remains the band's best-selling studio release, outsold in their discography only by the platinum-certified A Live One.Old Time Music:  Mike WellsMusic has a unique way of connecting with our emotions, memories, and experiences. It has the power to transport us to a different time and place, evoking feelings we may have long forgotten. One song that has always resonated deeply with me is “Wolfman's Brother” by Phish. This track, featured in their 1994 album “Hoist,” holds a special meaning and significance for both the band and their dedicated fanbase. the lyrics of “Wolfman's Brother” have a universal appeal. They invite listeners to reflect upon their own encounters with enigmatic figures or forces that have left a lasting impact. It encourages us to confront the demons that haunt us and search for understanding and resolution.Listening to “Wolfman's Brother” live is an entirely different experience. The band's extended jams and improvisations add a new layer of depth and intensity to the song. It becomes a collective experience, with the audience joining in as the lyrics are chanted by thousands of voices.Phil spoke with Jambands.com about wadding into the Phish catalog:I had thought maybe we would do this tune or that tune, and in the end, we only ended up doing one tune that I thought we would do, and that was “Prince Caspian,” and then they brought up those other three, “Wolfman's Brother,” which I had never heard, and “Down With Disease” and “Chalkdust Torture,” which I hadn't heard either until we played them at the rehearsal, and then I went and got the CD's and checked them out. But then I started listening to their other stuff, their other stuff is real interesting, but you can tell by listening to that that they need their forty hour weeks, because they really need to get that shit down. Never played by the Dead. MJ NEWS – One Toke Over The Line!!!  STRAINS: Strawberry Shortcake – a wonderful nighttime indica strain that that has a tart strawberry taste and leaves you with a good face melt and some couch lock.  Wait until you get home before diving in.  No great if you are with a group of people who are looking for your active participation in whatever they are doing!  But wonderful to relax and get ready for a good night's sleep. Blue Dream – every now and then I swing back to one of the all time greats.  Nice for daytime and early evening use.  Just have to be sure that whatever they are calling Blue Dream is really Blue Dream.  It does have a fairly distinctive taste and smell so if you are familiar with the strain, you should be able to tell if you have the real stuff. Tang – a wonderful sativa that is energetic without providing the standard “sativa crash” as it wears off.  Also nice because of it's ability to “cut through” any buzz you may already have and provide a new uplifting effect. After a first set-closing “Uncle John's Band,” the second frame got underway with Lesh leading on “Alabama Getaway” and “Sugaree,” the latter of which featured the band taking things out again and stretching the song to over 20 minutes. Phil once again stepped to the mic for a cover of the Bob Dylan classic “Like A Rolling Stone” that saw Trey and Page joining him on the chorus – I love that tune, the first Phil & Friends show I ever saw, featuring the Quintet, at the Riviera Theater in Chicago with good buddy Jimmy they opened with a 15 minute version of this tune into a 30 minutes cover of Low Spark of High Heeled Boys, just too many other good tunes from this show -  and led into a spirited “I Know You Rider.” Anastasio then fronted the quintet on a sweet version of “Row Jimmy”   SHOW No. 4:           Row Jimmy                                 Track #12                                   2:10 – 3:55 Garcia/Huner tune, Wake of the Flood is the sixth studio album (and tenth album overall) by the rock band the Grateful Dead. Released on October 15, 1973, it was the first album on the band's own Grateful Dead Recordslabel. Their first studio album in nearly three years, it was also the first without founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who had recently died. His absence and keyboardist Keith Godchaux's penchants for bebop and modal jazz (rather than McKernan's tendencies toward the blues and rhythm and blues) contributed to the band's musical evolution. Godchaux's wife, vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux, also joined the group and appears on the album.[8]The release fared better on the pop charts than their previous studio album (1970's American Beauty), reaching No. 18. After three live albums in a row, the Grateful Dead wanted to record studio versions of songs written since Keith Godchaux had joined the band. At the time of recording, five of the songs on the album (and part of a 6th) had been in live rotation for up to a year and a half, as arrangements were road-tested and finalized. Referring to this period, bassist Phil Lesh explained, "We'd learned to break in the material at shows (under fire, as it were), rather than try to work it out at rehearsals, or in the studio at tremendous expense." Describing Godchaux's influence, drummer Bill Kreutzmann characterized the album as "Keith's coming out party." Remarking on the evolution in style, he remembered:Jerry brought "Row Jimmy" into us one day, and it was really difficult to get a grip on it at first.     It has a slow tempo, which makes it seem like it would be easy, but it calls for a slight reggae groove layered over a ballad. Rhythmically, the lengths aren't traditional. They're not just twos and fours. It's deceiving. Basically, you have to play the song in half-time with a double-time bounce on top. It's trickier than it sounds. But once I locked into it, "Row Jimmy" became one of the best songs in our repertoire. Played 274 timesFirst:  February 9, 1973 at Maples Pavilion, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA, a show we featured earlier this year.Last: June 21, 1991 at Knickerbocker Arena in Albany Cannot say enough about Trey's strong vocals on this tune.  This is 16 years before the 50th reunion shows where Trey would play lead guitar for all five shows (2 in Santa Clara and 3 at Soldier Field).  And at this point, Phish had only covered one Dead tune in concert:  Terraping Station on August 9, 1998 at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater on the third anniversary of Jerry's death.  Since that point, it is still the only time Phish has covered a Dead tune in concert.  Why only that one?  Who knows.  Trey is certainly more than qualified to cover any Dead tune and the other guys have all played with various Dead members from time to time.  One of the great mysteries of the Phish world (at least for me). This was followed by a crowd-pleasing “Shakedown Street” which saw the band stretching their legs once again for a nearly 20-minute excursion. Next, “The Wheel” led into a 15 minute version of the classic closer “Not Fadeaway” to bring set two to a conclusion. After Phil's donor rap and band intros, Phil & Phriends closed out Night One of the run with Phil singing lead Dylan's “Mr. Tambourine Man,” which they did in the style of The Byrds.   OUTRO:                    Mr. Tambourine Man                                    Track #18                                    0:00 – 1:28 Leave you with one of my favorite Bob Dylan tunes. "Mr. Tambourine Man" is a song written by Bob Dylan, released as the first track of the acoustic side of his March 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The song's popularity led to Dylan recording it live many times, and it has been included in multiple compilation albums. It has been translated into other languages and has been used or referenced in television shows, films, and books.The song has been performed and recorded by many artists, including the Byrds, Judy Collins, Melanie, Odetta, and Stevie Wonder among others. The Byrds' version was released in April 1965 as their first single on Columbia Records, reaching number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, as well as being the title track of their debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in popularizing the musical subgenres of folk rock and jangle pop, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success. Dylan himself was partly influenced to record with electric instrumentation after hearing the Byrds' reworking of his song. The song has been in Dylan's live concert repertoire since it was written,[10] usually as a solo acoustic song, and live performances have appeared on various concert albums and DVDs. An early performance, perhaps the song's live debut, recorded at London's Royal Festival Hall on May 17, 1964. Great version, again with Trey and Page joining in.  I think Phil surprised them with pace of the tune right at the start, but everyone catches up and it's a fun song to hear in concert.  Great way to close out night 1 of this 3 night return to the stage run for Phil.  Best part is that 25 years later he is still going strong at 84! Phil and Friends have covered it 6 timesFirst:  at this show!Most recent:  October 5, 2000 at Orpheum Theatre, Boston, MA, USA  (doesn't seem correct to me because I'm fairly certain I've seen Phil perform this live since 2000, but so far cannot seem to come up with the place, date or folks he was playing with.  Happens sometimes! Finally, this show marks the first instance of Phil's famed “Donor Rap” that precedes the encores of all of his shows .Produced by PodConx Deadhead Cannabis Show - https://podconx.com/podcasts/deadhead-cannabis-showLarry Mishkin - https://podconx.com/guests/larry-mishkinRob Hunt - https://podconx.com/guests/rob-huntJay Blakesberg - https://podconx.com/guests/jay-blakesbergSound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/Recorded on Squadcast

Label: Total Exp. 8203Year: 1982Condition: M-Price: $10.00Though they contributed mightily to the sound that made 1970s-80s funk so great, if I had to pick one to include in a list of the 1001 greatest singles ever made, it might very well be this one. For me, it would be hard to choose between this and "Early in the Morning," but we know how Dave Marsh voted. :-) By the way, this single has an edited version of the 5:10 album cut. Note: This copy has light storage wear, lowering the Label & Vinyl grade to Near Mint. The Audio is pristine Mint.

Label: WB 29746Year: 1983Condition: M-Price: $10.00This is a terrific edited cut from the 5:03 LP version, and it's this tune that ranks the highest of all the Prince singles in Dave Marsh's Top 1,001 Singles list. And as if the A side weren't reason enough to own this classic single, the B side is one of those super-special, non-LP cut offerings Prince managed to throw around for free on his 1980's singles. Note:

Label: WB 19392Year: 1991Condition: MPrice: $15.00From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy... pristine Mint! Having been a big R.E.M. fan since their 1983 debut ("Radio Free Europe"), and then watching their career unfold... not always in a direction I was thrilled about... I remember being totally astounded to hear this one. Not only was it a magnificent return to their roots musically, but it's a simply superior pop song. Nothing simple about it, but it sounds so simple! And consider this: "Losing My Religion" has no chorus. How do you make a pop song a hit that has no hummable chorus? And yet on the strength of its music and lyrics — totally legible, it's so right-on as a tale of fragile, vulnerable love — "Religion" went on to become the biggest chart hit of the group's career. Deservedly so, and it anchored an album of similarly worthy note. As with most R.E.M. singles, the B side is a previously unreleased, non-LP cut. Dave Marsh included this single in his 1999 addendum to the original list of 1001 greatest singles, originally published in 1989. Note: This beautiful copy is pristine Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Label: Mustang 3014Year: 1966Condition: MLast Price: $36.00. Not currently available for sale.This is one of the records, along with some of the early Beatles and many others, that demonstrated one way that rockabilly transitioned into a musical form that became known as Power Pop. Absolutely essential single — note that both Rolling Stone (#177) and Dave Marsh (#102) put it high on their respective lists of the greatest singles ever made. Great B side, too! Note: This beautiful copy has Mint labels and pristine sound. The vinyl looks almost untouched.

In the new episode of the Rock's Backpages podcast we welcome the admirable Andy Schwartz, who Zooms in from upstate New York to reminisce about New York Rocker, the much-missed monthly magazine he edited from 1977 to 1982. We hear about Andy's early years in suburban Westchester County and his first experiences of live music in Manhattan, which included historic gigs by the Doors, the Dead and Jimi Hendrix. We also learn about Oar Folkjokeopus, the Minneapolis record store where he worked as a student in the mid-'70s, and the local Minnesota publications for whom he wrote his first reviews. Much of our discussion is taken up with Andy's recollections of New York Rocker founder Alan Betrock, and of his own years at the helm of that essential guide to the CBGB scene that spawned Blondie, Television, Patti Smith, the Ramones and Talking Heads... not to mention Mink DeVille. Clips from Mark "Radio Pete" Bliesener's 1977 audio interview with Willy DeVille include the Mink man's caustic thoughts on the downtown scene and the rock critics who chronicled it. After our guest recalls his stint as the manager of Smithereens and Beat Rodeo, we hear about his days at Epic Records' Director of Editorial Services and his involvements with artists as diametrically different as Celine Dion and the Allman Brothers. He also reflects on his early involvement with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and assesses its problematic standing in today's music industry. The episode concludes with Mark's quotes from newly-added library interviews with Ray Davies, Bryan Ferry and Carly Simon, followed by Jasper's thoughts on pieces about Scissor Sisters and Bootsy Collins. Pieces discussed: Andy Schwartz pays tribute to Alan Betrock, Mink DeVille live in NYC, Willy DeVille audio, Ray Davies to Maureen Cleave, John McLaughlin to Dave Marsh, The Eagles' Hotel California, Carly Simon to James Hunter, Bryan Ferry to Jim Farber, Scissor Sisters and Bootsy Collins' Baker's Dozen.

In this podcast episode, Mark interviews Daniel Wolff, a Grammy-nominated author, about his work in music history and his collaboration with Dave Marsh on the book "Kick Out The Jams." (Daniel was nominated for a Grammy for his liner notes for the box set of Sam Cooke's gospel recordings.)Mark and Daniel discuss the evolution of music criticism, the role of protest songs, and the importance of collaboration in the creative process.Wolff also offers advice for aspiring creators, emphasizing the need to not take oneself too seriously and to focus on getting the work out into the world.Specific topics include:- Daniel's work with Dave Marsh and their new book "Kick Out The Jams"- The organization and content of the book- The role of music in social issues and protest- The importance of collaboration in creativity- Advice for aspiring creators: don't take yourself too seriously and get your work out there1. "I think protest music is going all the time now. I mean, Kendrick Lamar, the hip hop artist, I think writes protest music and or pop music and or hip hop, however you want to define it. But it's music that says, wait a second, here's the world I'm living in. Isn't the way I want it. How do I talk about this?"2. "I think for me, the key to collaboration is to kind of give up authorship in a way and say, okay, well we'll change this because it doesn't work here, even though I think that's the best part of the writing. It's not working with you. And so we'll go on. I don't think it's much different from a marriage or a friendship. You're trying to figure out how to get along."3. "[Dave] always loved contemporary music. He still loves contemporary music. It's not like, oh, it never got any better than fill in the blank, whoever your favorite is. It was as you point out him going, well, okay, but we've got this ideal of what it ought to be, which was a communal ideal that we were all in it together and it was more democratic than it was capitalistic, if you will."The advice given by Daniel is to not take yourself too seriously and not get too caught up in the importance of hitting the send button or publishing your work. He emphasizes that there will always be more opportunities to create and that it's important to avoid self-importance. Collaboration is also encouraged as it can help to diminish feelings of self-importance and bring a fresh perspective to your work. Overall, the advice is to have fun with your creativity and not put too much pressure on yourself.Co-editor of Kick Out the Jams, a selection of essays by Dave Marsh that cover 35 years of music writing.
