R.I.P. Bob Weir, my GOAT rhythm guitarist. I got into #gratefuldead via tapes of 1972-1974 improvisation, and the secret sauce for me was Bob Weir’s guitar. His rhythms, interjections, and harmonics were constant elements of surprise and delight to me. I danced to him. He had to create a space for himself in the Dead’s music, and he did so brilliantly and uniquely. I’ve never been able to listen t

If you haven't already heard, I am pleased to inform you that the #gratefuldead 1975 Ace’s studio sessions have finally been sorted.

If you’re familiar with the Save Your Face mixtape blog, you’ll know I love to filter #gratefuldead music and arrange it into new ways to listen. My latest adventure has been compiling the material that I think is most worth hearing (again and again!) within the 24-hours of circulating, 1975 “Ace’s Sessions.” I ended up with 6.5 hours, arranged into seven “discs/albums.” (1/2)

Happy 4th Day of July to #gratefuldead Heads. The band rarely played the date, but the Save Your Face mixtape curation of their July 4 shows from ’81, ’84, and ’86 has surprisingly chalked up 21,000 listens on YouTube.

About 4.5 hours of these Ace's curations are as-played; the rest is made up of edits that give shaggier stuff more listener-friendly shapes. 65 tracks total, adjusted to the same volume for shuffle-heads. If you’re “Ace’s curious” but not… ★ 2

The #gratefuldead are officially releasing Tampa, FL, December 18, 1973, which is great news. The soundboard mix of this show is excellent, and the Garcia songs are so consistently good that I compiled them as a 90-minute all-Garcia “album… ★ 6
