ALMOST BROTHERS BAND - A Band Of Roadies
Almost Brothers Band – A Band Of Roadies (2014)
Back in “The Day”, when the Allman Brothers Band had recorded the “Brothers and Sisters” album and we were riding high with the LP reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Album Charts and the song “Rambling Man” reaching No. 2 on the Singles chart, our road crew were riding high with us. They were all very talented in their respective positions, and all very dedicated to us, and to the fans that came to see us. They were recognized by our peers and theirs as being the best road crew in the world, and in my opinion that was certainly the case. As we began to tour behind the release of the record in 1973, there were times when for various reasons the band wouldn’t or couldn’t make sound checks. Our crew would sometimes do them for us, which was a great help and ensured that we would be comfortable when we hit the stage. As time went on, they began to play more on their own, adding in some other players that were in the Macon, Ga. area at the time. The result of this was The Almost Brothers. I can remember them rehearsing quite a lot, working up some cover tunes and writing some of their own. They were all having a great time, and were honing in their musical skills. They became very popular around town, and created a reputation for themselves, playing in some clubs and various other settings. Fortunately, they also recorded some of their material, and after all these years, our then house sound engineer, Buddy Thornton, has uncovered those two track tapes, cleaned them up as much as possible with his expert skills, and herein is the result. Listening to these recordings bring back some great memories for me, and all the musicians involved put their hearts and souls into the Almost Brothers. They were all great folks to work with and I am so glad that we have this recording to document this piece of history. You can hear the fun they were having and the passion they put into their own band…so, listen and enjoy! (Chuck Leavell)

THE GRATEFUL DEAD - Wake Up to Find Out: Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY - 03/29/1990
Grateful Dead – Wake Up to Find Out: Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 3/29/1990 (2014)
Wake Up to Find Out contains the complete concert recorded on March 29, 1990 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
At this concert, jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis sat in for one song in the first set, and then for the entire second set. The same show will also be released on the same day as part of the box set Spring 1990 (The Other One). One of the songs from this performance, “Eyes of the World”, was previously released on the album Without a Net.
The March 29, 1990 Grateful Dead concert was the first of several to feature Branford Marsalis as a guest musician. In a 2014 interview, Marsalis recalled that Dead bassist Phil Lesh had invited him to play with the band for one song. “I came up for “Bird Song”, and after the set was over, I said, ‘Thanks for letting me play, guys.’ And they’re like, ‘No, no, stay! Play the second half of the show. We’ll do “Dark Star”.’ That had no significance to me. I’m like, ‘”Dark Star”? Okay. What is it?’ ‘Oh, you’re gonna love it. It’s free, it’s out.’ ‘Great, I can play out.’ They start playing that lick, and the audience goes fucking bananas. Later, I started getting these phone calls on my private number: ‘Man, you were great last night. Thanks for getting them to play “Dark Star”. They haven’t played it in six months.’ I’m like, ‘Who are these people?’…
“There was almost nothing [the Grateful Dead] couldn’t play—and make the shit sound authentic. When they played a song by the Band or Bob Dylan, they played it with the same spirit as the Band or Dylan. They didn’t feel the need to write their own arrangement of it. They were all listeners. There is a point where musicians who establish themselves stop listening to music and start listening to their own rhetoric. The Dead didn’t do that. It was obvious in the way they approached a song.”
