He took time out from his Real Life to assure us: <br /><br />"I am sure of the narrative. I think Phil was not on stage at beginning of US Blues. He comes in after one minute or so. The Hollywood Bowl interaction definitely happened. No question."Corry342https://www.blogger.com/profile/08049035074121231425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-35005237744579763542013-07-22T06:15:20.224-07:002013-07-22T06:15:20.224-07:00I had listened to 7/19 again the other day too, an...I had listened to 7/19 again the other day too, and I double-checked it just now: Phil is very definitely there for all of US Blues. The only time he's not playing is the 20 seconds between HG and USB when it's just Jerry, Keith, and Billy noodling, and that's not much of a piss break. It does sound like Phil hits a raw note at the very end of USB -- maybe he tore off his bass and immediately ran for the head? On the source you mentioned there's a cut after USB and then you hear Phil playing a short chord, possibly like one would do right after putting one's instrument back on? <br /><br />Ye gods. Am I really so far gone that I'm trying to speculate when band members may have been peeing in between songs?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11628132999021385676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-7356361276769966012013-07-19T17:36:05.260-07:002013-07-19T17:36:05.260-07:00I have just revisited this show, from the matrix t...I have just revisited this show, from the matrix tape:<br /><br /><a href="http://archive.org/details/gd1974-07-19.mtx.sirmick.103132.sbeok.flac16" rel="nofollow">http://archive.org/details/gd1974-07-19.mtx.sirmick.103132.sbeok.flac16</a><br /><br />My ears are crummy, but Phil is audible through at least the end of the He's Gone -> all of US Blues.

I haven't checked out the end of He's Gone yet, but his absence at the start of US Blues certainly seems to me consistent with a piss-break.Fate Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05648291938690043423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5268955857828486331.post-90659270832696286442011-06-24T21:42:44.400-07:002011-06-24T21:42:44.400-07:00Phil was a common figure checking out other bands ...Phil was a common figure checking out other bands during that era. He had headphones on listening to the New Riders Set at UCSB on 5/25/74, and actually sat on the side of the stage at the Keystone Berkeley in December 74 the first time that Kingfish played there, so this story is entirely plausible. Garcia did go straight into US Blues from a long jam after "He's Gone" and I believe that Phil (who definitely liked his Heinekens back then) may have been onstage straight through from when he and Ned began their mini-set. Great story!cryptdevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944617292210813801noreply@blogger.com
