I will when I get there; but I imagine you will become at least somewhat familiar with them, because your guy is now the bass player on the continuing part-- Burbidge has replaced Phil Lesh. The lineup is now John Mayer, Bob Weir, Burbidge, Jeff Chimenti , Bill Kreutzman, and Hart.
Wow. I mean, cool that Oteil got the gig, but I know (just) enough about the Dead to know this won't really challenge his skillz anymore than the Allmans gig did. I truly wish there was a bigger market for monster electric players aside from smooth jazz, because there are a lot fewer guys who can do that than hang with jam rock. I miss the Col. Bruce days. But why Mayer? I wonder if they approached him for the name, or he them because he can't run thru the halls of his old HS forever

Lost in limbo-- songs from good, even great 70's albums that are "obscure, I doubt you would have heard of them." Terry Allen-- from Lubbock on Everything--"The Great Joe Bob Went Bad" Bethlehem Asylum-- from Commit Yourself-- "The Child of the Mountain" Cat Mother from Last Chance Dance-- "Paranoid Papers" Roy Clark and Gatemouth Brown from Making Music-- "Take the A Train" The Colwell- Winfield Blues Band from Cold Wind Blues-- "Govinda" Cowboy from Reach For the Sky-- "Pick Your Nose" Dada-- "The Last Time" The Deadly Nightshade from Funky and Western-- "No Chicken Today" Joyce Everson from Crazy Lady-- "Country Air" Fat City from Welcome to Fat City -- "The Jesus Says Hello Tango" Rachel Faro from Refugees-- "Smooth Sailing" Robin Flower from Green Sneakers-- "From Denver to LA" Fraser and DeBolt from With Ian Guenther-- "Them Dance Hall Girls" The Good Rats from From Rats to Riches-- "Don't Hate the Ones Who Bring You Rock and Roll" Gospel Oak-- "Recollections Of Jessica" Goose Creek Symphony from Head For the Hills-- "Without A Reason" Gator Creek-- "Dirty Boogie" Green from To Help Somebody-- "Teenage Women" Larry Johnson from Fast and Funky-- "Pick Poor Robin Clean" Curt Newbury from Half A Month Of Maydays-- "Christ, How Easy It Could Be" Pearls Before Swine from The Use Of Ashes-- "The Jeweler" So there's 21. So sue me.
Neither-- he did a guest host on a late-night show, Weir was a guest, they jammed a bit, he got into it and learned a lot of their repertoire and when Anastasio couldn't do it after Lesh's farewell concert, Weir asked him and he jumped at it. He is a monster player you know; people miss that in the breathy vox and the using People magazine as a girlfriend catalogue... The guy Oteil is replacing, Phil Lesh, has John Scofield in his solo band, Branford Marsalis was a regular guest with the Dead, Miles Davis was something of a fan, Mayer has a trio with Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino as one of his manifestations; I'm not sure how good you have to be to be good enough for Burbidge? And after Trucks-Tedeschi he can have any gig he wants, I imagine; except maybe CSN-- they learned their lesson with Harvey Brooks, a great bass player just screws them up.
OK, since riverplate has neglected to do so... Showtunes -- 1960s Dating showtunes is a little problematic since most come from plays that were later made into movies. Growing up, my folks had more soundtracks from the movie versions than they did from the plays, which combined with the fact that I couldn't see the original Broadway performances of Oklahoma!, for instance, but have seen the movie a dozen times, makes me favor the movie versions. One of my favorite showtunes, No Way to Stop It is only found in the play, A Sound of Music, dating from 1959 while the movie dates from 1965. So, most of these will be from the movie versions. C'est Moi -- Camelot (1967) Fie on Goodness -- Camelot (play 1960) Something's Coming -- West Side Story (1961) Tonight -- West Side Story (1961) I Wanna be Like You -- The Jungle Book (1967) Rock Island -- The Music Man (1962) Ya Got Trouble -- The Music Man (1962) Climb Ev'ry Mountain -- The Sound of Music (1965) Everybody Ought to Have a Maid -- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966) Bring Me My Bride -- A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1966) I Could Have Danced All Night -- My Fair Lady ( 1964) A Hymn to Him -- My Fair Lady ( 1964) Step In Time -- Mary Poppins (1964) Book Report -- You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (1967) The Impossible Dream -- Man of La Mancha (1964) Springtime for Hitler -- The Producers (1968) Aquarius -- Hair (1968) Me Ol' Bamboo -- Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (1968) Tomorrow Belongs to Me -- Cabaret (play 1966)
Oh, he' a great player. I just didn't think of him as a potential Dead member, same as Burbridge. Not a dig at the Dead at all --they're good enough for anybody, as good is always a matter of what we enjoy-- just a lament that this means one less guy out there doing stuff that's both musical and mind-blowing. I'd feel the same way if he'd joined Sting's band (like Daryl Jones; IIRC, Sting did not play bass on the Blue Turtles and Nothing... Sun albums or tours). Branford w/Sting's a perfect example. I don't share Wynton's view that his brother had no business playing with Sting, but at the same time Sting didn't need Branford to get his horn message across. Even there, there are so many jazz recordings out there and still being made that the horn aficionado will always have new material to digest. Taking Branford out of jazz for a few months won't hurt jazz listeners. I know Burbridge deserves the extra notoriety (not to mention money) he'll get with the Dead. But it absolutely means I'll get to hear him shred that much less. I wanna hear guys doing stuff I'll never be able to work up to.
I do wish that Darryl Jones and Daryl Johnson would make an effort not to follow each other around-- it took me some years to realize that there were were two different guys rather than my getting confused about who I saw... They have both appeared with Sting, they have both appeared with the Stones, they have both appeared with Emmylou Harris; but I believe only one appeared with Miles-- the other is just a bit too young, I think. The only time I saw the Stones live, I would swear it was Johnson with them-- but it was already Jones' gig, so I shouldn't (swear to it.) I'm sure it was Jones on the "Blue Turtles" tour. I'm sure that Emmy's Spyboy gig is Johnson's-- but Jones has waxed poetic about playing with her "house band" because they know exactly the right thing to play and the right time to play it, or something along those lines... One is blacker than the other, and "better"-- but both of them are skinny at times and approaching portly at others. Since most folks, even you, leave the second "r" out of Jones' first name...
I honestly have not heard of Johnson before now (I thought Jones' name had only one R, but I see now that it has two) and I'm not getting anything online about him ever playing with the Stones except a wiki reference that doesn't go into more detail --you'd think a Stones stint would be given more ink-- but I'm still looking. Nothing about Sting. Would you clarify "appeared" for me? It may be that Johnson sat in as a sub for Jones somewhere along the line, maybe when you saw them. Johnson's wiki says he played with Richie Havens in 1976, so Miles (who was known for young talent) certainly isn't out of the question agewise.
Well I picked the word "appeared" because the sources I got it from weren't real clear whether they were there in sit-in situations or substitute situations, or what. Or I wasn't real clear. I see the Wiki entry, but of course it is possible that the person who wrote it may have been subject to the same confusion. Can't remember where I saw Johnson mentioned with Sting, and I have just discovered that there was a sax player in NO at the time who was part of Branford's circle and was named Darryl Johnson, so it may actually have been him... However I do see both bassists cited with Ivan Neville, and didn't I see Patti LaBelle on each resume too? Assuming of course that the resumes weren't assembled by other confused folks; y'know what-- pretend I never posted anything about it-- I already have lesions on my brain, I don't need more. If I stumble upon any of my sources again I'll let you know...
It's cool. Doubtless wiki has its misinfo. I think I can trust it for names and dates, tho. The sports info is generally pretty accurate.
I was going to include "Arthur's Theme" (Christopher Cross, from Arthur) but I really wanted "Big Bottom" to be the first song on the list.
How can you have this ahead of "Gimme Some Money." They were ahead of their time. They were talking about pimping back in the '60's.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/philippi...perry-disperse-apec-protesters-093227731.html Philippine police deployed . . . pop songs to disperse protesters at an Asia-Pacific leaders' summit on Thursday, enraging some demonstrators but amusing others.... The rally edged towards violence when protesters tried to break through lines of police, who were carrying riot shields and wooden batons, to reach the summit venue. Police responded by firing water cannons and scuffled with protesters who were chanting: "Junk APEC". Then police pulled out their secret weapon: pop princess Katy Perry on giant loudspeakers. Dolly Parton's "Islands in the stream", David Guetta's "Sexy bitch" and the Bee Gee's "How deep is your love" were among the other songs deployed against the protesters. To add a street bass beat, some of the police tapped their batons against their shields in time with the music. "It's ridiculous," leftist member of parliament Carlos Isagani Zarate told AFP, as the protesters retreated to soul classic "My Girl".
I'd pay my own air fare to be a news correspondent and see that shit in person. I can think of a few 70s/80s songs that should kill cancer cells, but My Girl ain't one of 'em.
