Do I have to join a special group to see it or was it removed sometime after the initial post? I should have clicked the link when I first saw it. Perhaps its a case of “if you snooze you lose”. If not, let me know.Jim
yes it appears they have marked the video as private now.
here is an audience shot version of it (quality inferior to what was previously posted

If you haven’t, you should….The first time I heard Pastures Of Plenty, my first thought was that Bruce must’ve written this after an evening out at Gambols at Chowning’s Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. I could very easily see this song being done by one of the 18th-century-style balladeers (between a few of the bawdier numbers, of course) while sitting down and killing a few tankards with friends old and new.
I wonder if Bruce has ever told any specific stories about the origins and/or inspirations for this song.

i agree. although bruce often does give us banter and food for thought between songs, i think a Storytellers is long overdue
FRITZ wrote:OK all the tapers out there…..have a hugeeeeee favor to ask…..looking for 9/22/02 University of Buffalo show, 90% sure this was the one…Bruce played a few years in a row at UB. My wife was called up on stage by Bruce after her wooowooowooowooo scream at the top of her shrieking lungs! Blew my ears out being right next to her…but apparently it caught Bruces fancy and he pulled her up to do it on stage with him. Been looking for a copy of the show since the day after with very little luck. Thought I’d try here. Anyone have it????? Have a hugggggeeee GD collection to trade or B & P whatever works…anyone help me out???Feel free to email [email email=”me…..cfritzbflo@msn.com”]mailto:me…..cfritzbflo@msn.com[/email]……
Happy Holidays everyone! 😆
sorry don’t have it but did she scream right before bruce went into this “Jam (Bruce telling mental hospital story)> Sneaking Up on Boo Radley “? 😆 😆

its a lyrically and musically a 10 all around…
sweet Jerry tones intertwining with Bruce’s sparkly display of prestidigitation and Molo taking it to another plane…it just doesnt get any betterHey now, where are you going
Where are you going to my friend
Said I’m going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they’re out there somewhereDid you hear about the girl
Alone in the world
Thought she was losing her mind
She found it in the discarded refuse pile
Down near the railroad line
A book of sonnets torn and tattered
A few remained intact
One held the key, she said to me
To getting some feeling backSometimes my head turns round and round
Sometimes you talk but I can’t hear a sound
Sometimes I look down, find my feet off the ground
I feel that I’m somewhere else boundHey now, where are you going
Where are you going to my friend
Said I’m going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they’re out there somewhereShe looked down the railroad trackLined with trees on each side
She prayed for the strength to run to the boxcar
To pull herself up for the rideYou invite me to your house – you’re so sincere
We sit so close for a while
You reach out for me in the low light so clear
But you look like you’re frowning when you smileHanging around just to see what could happen
Hanging on by oh, the thinnest thread
Sometimes I see the faintest glimpse
Sometimes I feel I’d be better off in bedHey now, where are you going
Where are you going to my friend
Said I’m going out to find
The pastures of plenty
I believe they’re out there somewhere1. Pastures of Plenty
2. Stander on the Mountain
3. Resting Place
4. Across the River
5. Tango King
6. Country Doctor
7. Sad Moon
8. Harbor Lights
9. China Doll
10. Camp Meeting“that sound”
lots of people recognizing the fact that bruce has “that sound” and that it is all too familiar to us and yet so fresh.
I think of bruce when he talks about garcia this way. when he says ” jerry plugs in” and there is “that sound” while referring to the night on the town sessions, specifically “across the river”
love this disc!
there are absolutely overtones of some classic Hornsby (and not so Hornsby) riffs throughout.
2 immediate things i picked up on. He’s playing the corrina (yes the grateful dead/bobby weir song) riff which is the same riff he has thrown in at the end of some live versions of Some Changes Made in the song Celia. Although sprinkled throughout the song , it comes through very noticeably at arounf the 6:35 mark
the other is camp meeting – this has got a spirit trail “sad moon” chorus to it.
i haven’t made it to the show reviews section but am excited how these play out live
clindsay wrote:About the popularity–maybe so.Generally this type of jazz is played in a more intimate setting, anyways, hence less people. Have you guys been to Birdland or Village Vanguard? Two of the most legendary places for Jazz and they’re not very large. When everybody is there for the show, you feel like you are in somebody’s basement.
the blue note is very similiar
pretty sure the whole smart kids vs. smart cool kids is referring to the baby einstein phenomenon

actually, thats just an ad I hear on one of the SIRIUS jazz channels

smart cool kids listen to jazzwhen i had just left school the smart kids listened to Genesis and the cool kids listened to “nu-synth-pop-garagey-type-housey-funk-acid-remix – duh what do you mean you’ve never heard of that genre? “- type music.

no doubt….jam band is clearly a subcategory of jazz not an equal
i can jam way better than play strict jazz music
clindsay wrote:yes, good point–jam artists (knowledegeable ones, at least) would almost certainly have been influenced by jazz musiciansbut I wouldn’t lump those two together, not for one moment. it’s something very different, and I think Bruce has eluded to this to some extent from the press release.
can’t tell you how stoked I am to hear this
my comments on comments…
you can’t be a jam musician without ever hearing jazz and if your influences were other jam musicians , i would guarantee their influences were from jazz somewhere along the linemy initial thought that we won’t get some insightful pearls of wisdom in any lyrical matter was a bummer but that quickly dissipates for the opportunity to hear bruce talk through his piano ….so stoked for this!
there is an art/skill to play jazz or even jam. sure anyone with reasonable skills can play it but does it sound good? a key element is knowing when not to play something but also as the great hornsby had once said “why play 1 note when you can play 5?” the bigger question is are you playing the RIGHT 5 notes?. you could be a great studio musician but may not have the chops to play good sounding jazz or jam.
DavidR wrote:To be fair, the audience was requesting hits and Dead tunes. Bruce has been very vocal that he’s not a jukebox and requesting Dead tunes at a Bruce show is like requesting “Free Bird” anywhere else.I think it’s a case of the audience and reviewer not knowing what Bruce is up to since 1990, not liking what he does now, and harping on the only thing they can grasp, which is his snarky sense of humour. That said, Bruce has veered close to Keith Jarrett territory over the past few years (and not playing-wise), which he’d do well to avoid, honestly.
David
but yet when a hardcore fan shouts out “Freebird” and he abides, it’s OK? 🙄
See the New Concerts (from the Soundboard thread) I mean no disrespect to Miss VA Former but just I am just pointing out an inconsistency here for arguments sakeI am sure he knows that once that train left the station there was no turning back. He called it a curse some time ago as well, but there is no need to alienate those fans either.

FYI– on the 8/13/06 Charlotte show, at the very beginning when Bruce is going over some request notes, I’M the Teresa that wants to dance on stageAlso, later on, I’m the one who yells out “The Way It Is” and “Freebird”, which resulted in Bruce playing several lines of “TWIS” to the tune of “Freebird”.
although I agree the prices are outrageous , I also believe it is a bit different
Although reuniting with the Range would be great (I’d pay to see Molo back in the mix and by no means any disrespect to Sonny) its not quite the same. Its a band of people vs a person.Also, if Bruce stopped touring for 15 yrs how much would you pay to see him back on the road?
lets take this on a tangent and say
“how much would you pay to see your favorite band/musician (dead or alive)?” in their primeto see the Dead play one more time with Jerry
Zeppelin with Bonham
Hendrix
since we have some jazz fans…how about Charlie Parker? T. Monk?Re: Defenders of the Flag
DanaNejedlova wrote:I have found this in a fan quiz from 1995:What tune do the guys play the opening notes of at the very end of the LP version of Defenders of the Flag?
The Star Spangled Banner. Crank it way up and you can hear the insturmental “Oh, say can you see” Sometimes they would do a little bit of this in concert too, especially the old shows with the Range.
nice work….kudos to you
