There's some discussion of the Deadicated album in the "Vault" topic...I, for
one, love Suzanne Vega's tunes on the album, particularly Cassidy, which I
can't seem to get enough of.






Jim

    ...and the tunes of her own that she played with the dead at MSG for
    the Rainforest benefit fit quite nicely with the boyz style...matter
    of fact she should write some tunes for them....ditto for cassady
    
    rich

Is this going to be the official "Deadicated" note?  I don't recall if we have
a note on this or if it was a digression.

Anyway, I have not picked up the album yet (I hope to get it special ordered in
vinyl form), but I did hear the Indigo Girls doing Uncle John's Band while
listening to WBOS.  I liked their version.  They certainly have nice voices. 
The only thing I noticed, and this is different from the dead's version, is
that they converted all the 7-beat phrases (a measure of 4 and a measure of 3)
into 8 beats (or two sets of 4).  During the first part of the song, the verse
is normally a 4-4-4-3 rhythm but they changed it to 4-4-4-4.

The worst of it comes at the end of the song (after the last occurrance of
"he's come to take his children home", actually the end of the verse).  At this
point, Jerry normally does a 7-beat riff, which, when played live, leads the
band into the long jam.  This is reduced, by the Indigo Girls, to a simple
4-beat pattern.  Oh well.  I was disappointed since that is a major
transitional point for me (and the song), and one I'd prefer not to be tampered
with.

    The album really grows on ya ... when I first got it I was kinda
    lukewarm to most of it.  But after a few listens I'm developing an
    appreciation for it.
    
    My favorite cut is definitely Burning Spear doing Estimated Prophet. 
    What a great adaptation of that tune ... kinda makes me wonder what
    they could do with something like Samson & Delilah, or mebbe Not Fade
    Away ... I think I'm gonna have to go out and buy some other Burning
    Spear album now to see how good their non-Dead stuff is.
    
    ... Bob
    

I've heard reggae bands doing Fire On The Mountain before and it was
awesome.  Can't wait to hear Deadicated...

    I have to agree with Bob B. - the Estimated Prophet is THE hottest song
    on the CD.  Also, in listening to Elvis Costello do Ship of Fools, I
    felt that he actually could have written that song himself.  It's
    adaptation fits perfectly into his style.  While the renditions are
    rather true to form, in my opinion, the only weak spot is Jane's
    Addiction version of Ripple.  It really grates (no pun intended!) on my
    nerves.  C'est la vie!!!
    
    How about those linear notes!!

    	I've heard a little of it on the radio. I've herd Jane's
    Addictiction's Ripple. I'm not familiar with their music but it
    appeared to me that mellow was out of their normal play list. 
    Second time I heard it I was ready to hear them go into The Other
    One as the song was fading. 
    	I've heard Bertha by Los Lobos enough that I think it will get
    radio play. My first impression, when I made out was I was listening 
    to, was that it sounded very much like Bruce Mandaro on vocals.
    	Did Midnight Oil do a song on there? I think that is the other song
    I heard. Warf Rat, that's what I heard. It was okay, but I like the 
    Dead's version better. 
    	I have to hear all of this stuff through a few times before I
    really know how I feel about it, but I definitely hear The Other
    One at the end of Ripple.

    	I heard the Indigo Girls do UJB on the radio last night. 
    	I was very impressed.  From what I'm reading I'll have 
    	to go get the CD and check it out.

    ditto on what JC said about burning Spear's rendition of Estimated
    
    IMHO the best remake,.. one that showed the most imagination.
    
    Elvis gets second place for Ship of Fools...
    
    Jane's Addiction's Ripple is the one with the other one tease at the

    Ripple very interesting if not good. ,..but may be good.

well /

I noticed that other one tease at the end too and wished they did it 
because those guys can really go with a song like that.  Interestingly,
J's A is breaking up...(i'm pretty sure).

Burning Spear was COOL!

I like Jack Straw.  Ain't stellar like some of the other tunes on the disc, but 
it's definately ok in my book.  On the other hand, I could do without Los 
Lobos' version of Bertha.

Just showz ya how even though we all love some of the same things, we all have 
different tastes as well!  I hate brussel sprouts, but I really like Hornsby's 
Jack Straw, although the album version doesn't compare to what he did with the 
tune at Foxboro last week.  The only tune on Deadicated that I could do without 
really is US Bluez by The Harshed Mellows.  To me it just seems like they are 
forcing themselves into playing it.  Zevon does a very good Casey Jones, and 
for some reason I really like Midnight Oil's Wharf Rat.  Overall a very 
enjoyable album, IMO.

    I think the U.S. Blues is great! Played with a bit more of an edge than
    the Dead give it, the humor of the verses and both the irony and the
    exultation of the chorus come through.

I like Bruce's Jack Straw but can understand what JC meant when he 1st 
mentioned that he thought it didn't have the ooomph that it ought to...
Still a good tune.

As for The Harshed Mellows version of US BLUES - I think this is cool!
Gruff and fresh sounding....(like .-1 said gives it an edge).

The only tune I can find myself wondering about (do I like it?  not sure)
is the Indigo's Version of UJB.  Not sure if I like it or not...so I dunno.

The Cowboy Junkies *know* how to play "to lay me down"!!!!!!!

Speaking of this lp - did you all look at the rose in the middle?  The 1st
time I looked I didn't notice ... the 2nd time I looked I saw a bit more
the 3rd time I looked (last night) I was holding the picture in my hand
and rotating it around and around.... *every* rose petal is made of some
kind of animal!  :)  I looked at the longbox because the cd insert is 
sort of miniscule....the lp sized rose ought to be even more revealing.

lots of fun!

No one answered my question in this file, but a few people last night at
Nigel's dinner indicated that they don't think there is a vinyl version.

If anyone sees an LP version, please let me know!  I want this album, but I
don't have/want a CD player.

    An LP version of Deadicated would have to be a double--the thing is 75
    minutes long.
    
    At least as far as major labels are concerned, vinyl has met its
    demise. This is a bitter sorrow for me.

So far I have listened through Deadicated once.  I really like it, although
there are 2 or 3 songs I could (and probably will) do without.  They are
U.S. Blues, To Lay Me Down and (I think) Casey Jones.  I absolutely *love*
the Reggae Estimated!!!!  and Uncle John's Band.  Deal, Bertha, Ripple and
even Wharf Rat are right up there too.  Wharf Rat is a funny one, at the
beginning of it I was totally disgusted, "Oh my God how could they do this
to this song!" but by 10 seconds or so later I was liking it more and more.
I have only heard it once so chances are I just don't like the beginning.

I have however played UJB, Estimated, Deal, Ripple, and Bertha over (and over).

re: lp's demise 

They oughta be shot - I miss my vinyl,  the last record I bought was 
??  oh yeah, and Etta James record (before that it was a McCartney 
Russian Choba CCCP lp.)

I miss spending low bucks to check new acts so as a result I can't 
buy *as much*

Back to the DEADICATED lp - Midnight Oil's version is nice!  I can
see that Peter Garrett storming the stage - 

on another note - I wonder how many of those bands that contributed
to the lp will start adding those songs to thier live repertoire and
possibly their own lps...???

    Bought Deadicated last night for the ride home .....nice night to drive 
    around the Quabin Resv. on rte 202......all in all I thought this was
    a good tape---the version that brought the biggest smile was Dwight
    Yokems version of Truckin...not that this is the best cut but I thought 
    it was neet and kinda harder driven than the boyz version...Estimated
    is superb....its funny about Ripple ..it was the kind of song that
    you used to like to listen to if you had a long night or kinda hung
    over (not that I ever have been) the next morning..I'm afraid that
    JA's version might make you quite ill..but it still isn't that bad
    it grows on you ..its to bad that they didn't continue the Other One
    and if you listen closely, hidden inside the rythym of the Other One
    you can hear the lead guitarist rip off the begining of Birdsong.....
    Jim I kinda liked Jack Sprout as well...Uzless Blues was funny.

Yeah Jim, I thought the exact same thing, and when I first put on the CD, Lydia

Really nice album ... I especially like Suzanne Vega's cover of Cassidy.

Someone somewhere asked about a tape of the boyz playing with some of the 
people from Deadicated after seeing a clip (sorry, couldn't find the note(s)). 
I grabbed this off the net, could be a possible explanation for the sighting??

Dead concert survives power outage
 
An electrical outage didn't stop the fun last week when Arista Records
threw a party in Los Angeles ot promote Deadicated, an album of Grateful
Dead songs interpreted by other muisicians.  Dwight Yoakum and the Dead's
Bob Weir were performing "Truckin" when the power went out but the
Deadheads in the crowd were undeterred and continued singing until power
was restored a couple of minutes later...

    re Los Lobos-> Slipknot sound alike
    
    Definitely,.. I said this same thing to the wife the otehr night
    when we put deadicated on for the first listen

    Hey!  Looks like some serious moderator action to me!  I'd say a

    	After reading what Adam had to say about UJB and how they destroyed
    the original timing,... and for those musicologists out there, Burning
    Spear also destroyed the original timing of Estimated Prophet. (its
    s'posed to be 7/4) I thought I noticed at least one verse (the 1st?)
    where Indigo's preserved the 3/4 measure,...
    
    	Anyway,.. nobody ,.. I mean nobody can destroy the original
    timing of Estimated as well as Treemon and I when we play it :-)

There you go again!  Just when things start making sense to me (musically speak

Now I'm pissed.  7/4 is a great reggae beat.  How can they not play it that
way?  Even *I* can play it that way (somewhat :-)).  These musicians must not
get into 7/4 time.  I can't even imagine what the song would be like in a
straight 4 beat.  Ugh.  Oh well.

    Hey Jim

heynow,

if the idea for DEADICATED was to sound like the dead then we might
as well just listen to the Dead albums/tapes/cds that we already have.
this was a tribute to the dead not a "stars on 45" copycat version 
of dead tunes.

just a thought,
bob

I agree with you about UJB though.....

Lisa   

    I would rather hear "unique" versions of the Dead tunes...matter of 
    fact is that i think that the boyz would rather hear different versions
    ....I think Estimated is great and the more I listen to Rippppppel
    the better I like it...it seems that the rythm to ripple is very much
    like "The Other One"......
    
    rich

    well its that blending iof the 12/4 backbeat from the other one laid
    	into Riplle, which is originally straight 4/4 (I think/??) that
    	made me say that I thought the song was "interesting" as played
    	by Jane's addiction. Its just that from the sounds of it it
    	seemed like they were about to play a killer other one that
    	would have fot their style of music more anyway,.. 
    
    	But I'm with you Rich,.. I'd rather hear the new interpretations
    and I'd bet the boys would too. In pointing out that Burning Spear
    had dropped the 7/4 time signature I did not mean to imply that 
    I did not like the song. Au contraire it is alos my favorite on the
    album ***BECAUSE*** it is so different from the dead,.. time signature
    included or not,.. the sheer style difference is amazing enough. Heck,
    I didn't even recognize it until about 1/2 way through the first verse.
    
    	Anyway,.. back to the show
    
    								/
    

My favorite tune on the album at the moment is Cassidy, I was disappointed
in To Lay me Down and Ripple is growing on me.  I'm afraid I haven't taken
a liking to Estimated Prophet..must be that change in the beat ;^)

I also (gasp) can't get into UJB.





Jim

I bought Deadicated last night.  Very nice.  I've cut out the CD box front
and I'm going to put it somewhere in my office.  The CD is very cool looking;
decorated with a rain forest picture; if you touch it softly, the trees
in the picture are slightly raised..very cool.  the liner notes are extensive.
each band says something about their introduction to the boyz (if applicable).
then, some information about how you can help the rain forest cause.

    Also picked it up yesterday - I find it a mixed bag (surprise,
    surprise!).  Soem of the acoustic stuff is good.  I liked Lyle Lovett,
    Dr. John, Elvis Costello, Dwight Oakham and the Indigos.
    
    -Dermot
    
    P.S. No sign of From the Vaults in the shops here.

    I picked up Deadicated also - they must make a poster of the cover
    artwork!!  Sounds great, I've often wondered what the Dead would sound
    like if they were competent on ALL of their instruments (the voice is
    the original instrument).  ~/~  I've been able to get into all the
    numbers, except "Estimated," but I'm working on it.  I'd love to hear a
    straight reggae cover of "Row Jimmy."  In the liner notes, Bruce
    Hornsby paid the band a backhand insult when he said they have "fifty
    or sixty great songs."  I guess that's true for their originals, but
    some of their covers aren't too shabby (BTW, how large is their
    repertoire of originals v. covers?).
    
    The only song that really annoyed me was Dwight Yoakam's cover of
    "Truckin'."  Instead of playing it in 4/4, he plays it in 8/8!!  Why
    can't some people leave well enough alone?
    
    Jamie

    
    FYI.. the artist Mikio did the cover art work.  You've probably seen
    his t-shirts on tour..  lots of wild designs in deep colors with Mikio
    written in the corner.  Anyway - he's a good friend of several of my
    good friends so I'll pass on the good words to him.
    
    Phyllis
    

    re Jamie
    
    	I'm sure Bruce was talking about their 50-60 'great' original
    songs. You can't call a song they cover "their" song,.. eh?
    
    	Their repetoire must be close to 150 sings currently. If you
    included all the songs they ever played of all time,.. I have
    	no idea what that number would be (deadbase anyone)??
    
    	My guess is something like 1000 songs
    
    								/

    I think they've only got 50-60 'great' tunes ... the rest are only
    'really good' ... ;^)
    
    ... Bobbb
    

    
    
    I can't believe nobody has mentioned Casey Jones w/Warren Zevon and
    David Lindley. I really really enjoyed it. I think Dr. John is quite
    a nice addition to the album also.
    
    I read all the interviews with the participating groups, and was im-
    pressed with them all but Midnight Oil. Their Wharf Rat is a great
    version but their attitudes suck. I don't recall the name of the guy
    they interviewed from the group, but he sounded like he was very high
    on himself. Everyone mentioned the gratitude they had to play a Grate-
    dead tune. This guy however sounded very unimpressed and almost put 
    out.
    
    Just my opinion
    
    Cleve

    I heard that Elvis Costello was on Sat. Night Live this weekend.  Did
    he do "Ship of Fools" on the show?
    
    Jamie

re: Elvis on Sat'day night live

I only caught one song but it wasn't ship of fools.

re:  deaditcated

I thought the same thing - WHY would Midnight Oil even bother ... 

and that Deal by the Doctor....I was thinking that when it was written - 
it was written to be played that way....

Midnight Oil is interested in environmental issues ... that's probably the
only reason they got involved in the album.  I thought the same thing as you
guys when I read his comments ....

- Dave

    I've read interviews with the Mid Oil head guy, he's very
    politically/environmentally oriented....and seems to have the same type
    attitude as Bobby in an interview %^)

    When I hear "sixties" or "seventies" songs on WFNX "Boston Phoenix
    Radio", well, I have to laugh like hell.
    
    WFNX is supposed to be a "my" new music station.
    
    	Don't get me wrong.  I ran out and bought DEADicated soon after
    	it showed up in stores.  I enjoy listening to it.  I revel in the
    	range of sounds, from dead-like Los Lobos song, to the quite
    	different style of Jane's Addiction (Ripple) and Midnight Oil
    	(Wharf Rat)
    
    But is this new music?
    
    		-pk.
    

    I was in Connecticut on Saturday, trying to find something good on the
    radio.  I came across a song with a funky beat, listened a little bit
    longer and realized it was Dwight Yoakem (sp?) doing "Truckin'."  As
    the song wound down, the dj came on and drawled "This is Country 9?.?,
    and that was Dwight Yoakem with "Truckin'" from a new album called
    "Deadicated" which has a group of Country & Western (!! you could HEAR
    the capital letters) artists covering Grateful Dead songs.  Now here's
    Randy Travis with ....."
    
    Jamie

    well let me just say this PK (or is that pk?) if you never heard a
    Grateful Dead song before and you heard Deadicated you would swear four
    letter words that this was new music ! :')

I got Deadicated for Father's day, thanks Nathan:-), and I love it all, except 
for Midnight Oil's version of Wharf Rat. I listened to it 4 or 5 times and I 
just don't like it. Other than that the album is superb.
