Okay guys (and gals), I resolved to listen to the Grateful Dead’s legendary live album “Cornell 5/8/77” for the very first time today (it’s 2 hours 42 minutes!), and let me tell you……….it’s DAMN GOOD!!
Steven, since you really like “Blues for Allah”, I recommend you also listen to this live show release….

Thank you for the additional recommendation, Jeffrey. I just finished listening to “One From the Vault” and really enjoyed hearing live versions of all seven songs from “Blues for Allah”. I’m definitely going to add this one to my current playlist of albums. Looking forward to hearing it again soon. 😊
Tony Rice is one of the great bluegrass session musicians (primarily guitar) of all time.
Given how much of a liking you've taken to Dead music recently, his work with Jerry Garcia and David Grisman (another bluegrass virtuoso) is really worth a listen, especially The Pizza Tapes and the eponymous Jerry Garcia/David Grisman.
Great song — I especially like the piano. That’s quite an album title, isn’t it?
Traffic was a really good band — their first seven studio albums all contain sone great music. I haven’t heard their 8th, and final, album (released in 1994). I think I’ll listen to it today.
God dang it, now I can’t like Steven Tyler. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
