Review: Furthur at Red Rocks, 9/30/11, Night One

Categories: Last Night


CRITIC'S NOTEBOOK

Personal Bias: Clearly I didn't want a slow, bluesy show last night. I'm sure it was heaven to some people, though.
Random Detail: That was the first time Furthur has played "You Aint Goin' Nowhere"
By the Way: I couldn't get my Dead fix last night, because I ended up at Quixotes afterward listening to more jammy covers by the DeadPhish Orchestra.

1970's "American Beauty" was a masterpiece as the Dead evolved from the psychedelic era to the country-rock of groups like New Riders of the Purple Sage. It included one of the Dead's best loved tracks, “Box of Rain,” bassist Phil Lesh’s song to his ailing father.

Lyricist Bob Hunter says the song’s title means “the world we live on.” On Rockaeology at http://bit.ly/j20zF4 Jerry Garcia describes how Hunter pairs his writing with the band’s music. Hunter says, "I'm able to translate peoples' scat. I hear English in it, almost as though I write down what I hear underneath that."
