In 1972, Groucho Marx performed for the last time on stage. He talked about family and career memories, as well as sang songs. It was hosted by Dick Cavett at Carnegie Hall.

Wikipedia:

'An Evening With Groucho' is the title of a 1972 compilation recording of the one-man show by American comedian Groucho Marx, edited from three separate performances: New York City's Carnegie Hall, C.Y. Stephens Auditorium at Iowa State University, and Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, California. With the Carnegie Hall show’s introduction by Dick Cavett, the resulting performances were released as a double album by A&M Records. Marx shared family and show business stories and performed songs from Marx Brothers stage shows and movies. Marvin Hamlisch performed an opening overture and accompanied Groucho on the piano. A numbered, limited edition edited single picture disc edition was released in 1978, and a compact disc version was later briefly available.

In 2018, the recording was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or artistically significant".

Leaving here a less known Grateful Dead song, which is just as amazing as Friend of the Devil, Althea or their other more famous tunes.

Leaving here a less known Grateful Dead song, which is just as amazing as Friend of the Devil, Althea or their other more famous tunes.

Very fine, thank you. I mostly like 'Friend of the Devil' from the LP 'Dead Set' (1980) and 'Althea' from the 'Rockpalast' concert in Germany (1981).

As is well known, every Grateful Dead fan (DeadHead) is always looking for his personal favorite version of a Dead song, I am sure that I have now found my favorite version of 'Fire On The Mountain'. Although the DVD has been on my shelf for years, I recently saw the 'Winterland' concert for the first time.

On New Year's Eve 1978, the legendary 'Winterland Arena' in San Francisco, where the Dead often performed, closed, so it was almost a given that the last concert in the hall would be given by the Dead. It started around midnight and lasted about 6 hours, quite a normal concert length for the Dead when they were in the right mood to play. 

At around 6 a.m. the Dead left the stage and left it to the audience with the words: "Who wants can play - we go to breakfast . . ."

P.S.
I'm currently reading the wonderful book 'An American Odyssey: Jerry Garcia And The Grateful Dead' by Rock Scully and David Dalton in the German-language edition of an Austrian publisher from 1996. The book now costs up to €90 in used bookstores, I got it for €40 (with CD) and it's a large joy reading the book and at the same time listening the Dead music or see an Dead DVD.

[bowers]

Great stuff indeed, Comickraut! At different times, some members of the Dead (including Jerry) as well as Spence Dryden from Jefferson Airplane played in a country-rock spinoff group called New Riders of the Purple Sage. Definitely a party band and SO great live! Here's a taste...

[FraBig]

Interesting, I've never heard of them, Bowers. I'll check them out!

I'm not a huge Deadhead, I just really like their music, so I'm not much of an expert on the various live versions of their song like you are, Kraut. But I do know that a great part of their greatness were their live concerts.

As for my favourite songs by them, I like Alabama Getaway, Shakedown Street, Fire on the Mountain, Hell in a Bucket, Touch of Grey, Truckin', Brown Eyed Women, Tennessee Jed, U.S. Blues... and obviously the ones I mentioned above: Friend of the Devil, Althea and The Golden Road.

I'm overall more of a country music guy (traditional country, bluegrass and texas swing), but they're one of the non-country bands I really enjoy listening to.

Fra, if you like more traditional CW music with a touch of swing, then you might like the group Asleep at the Wheel...

Interesting! I never heard of them but they definitely make great music. Some great western swing right there! Thanks, Bowers!

Here are some of my favourite western swing tunes:
- Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys: Ida Red

- Red Steagall: Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC4U5hEOE2Y

- Hank Thompson: Six Pack To Go

Thanks, FraBig! Some of the best fathers of western swing! I knew about Tex Williams but had never heard his stuff. Great stuff. Cheers, bowers

Bowers,
I sent you a PM. Did you get it?

cheers!

I'm not a huge Deadhead, I just really like their music, so I'm not much of an expert on the various live versions of their song like you are, Kraut.

Too much honor  . I call myself a Deadhead, even though I've never seen them live and there are years when I rarely listen Dead music, which is completely fine for me personally. But now and then I listen a lot of Dead music for weeks and that's the case right now and then I'm also looking for all kinds of versions of my Dead favorite songs.

Music is a very important part of my life and these are my favorites:

The Beatles and then in no particular order, the Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Latin Quarter and the Stones. Not forgetting, of course, my beloved Beethoven.

I'm at home in all areas of music, only rap, hip hop, house and other modern music, as important as it is, are not my personal cup of tea, but that doesn't matter, the music universe is so big that everyone can find something for themselves.

Mike

[FraBig]

That's pretty cool, Mike! I also have some favourite artists that I listen to periodically.

My absolute favourite is John Denver, then it comes Tony Rice (awesome bluegrass guitarist), Jimmie Rodgers (the father of country music), Hank Williams, Elvis Presley (mostly his 1950s songs) and others. I enjoy the Beatles and the Beach Boys, the Grateful Dead, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many other bands, but I don't listen to them as frequently.
I have also a soft spot for Doo-Wop music, and I really like the Platters and the Mills Brothers.

Between Panther and Paw, I've just reached a state of nirvana. Omigod- such great stuff! Panther, Nuno Mandelis is just plain incredible. How did you find them? And thanks for reintroducing me to The Poets. I think Paw mentioned them, and I got hooked. I wish I'd known about them in my younger days! And Paw, thanks for the Link Wray link- he was a true power-chord pioneer. Sadly, he's not very well remembered today. Cheers, bowers
