Tom Williams Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Sorry Dave -- the gratuitous dubbed cussing just ain't my idea of humor. Had there been a downvote button I woulda pushed it.

George88 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks, Dave. Having been the youngest member of a very famous band, I can relate! Thumbs up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BbAltered Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Seeing this again reminded me that it has indeed been a long strange trip for Sen. Al Franken. I love Brent's playing in the GD: "Daddy's loving arms will gather you in." Quote J.S.

OB Dave Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Pretty funny if you're a deadhead. "Definitely Phil" LOL. BTW, the cussing wasn't dubbed, this was a pay-per-view broadcast. There's another scene were either Al Frankin or Tom Davis "accidentally" knocks over "Jerry's guitar." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeToGo Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 "Won't work" hilarious Haven't seen this in so long, it's like new all over again. Of course, this is clearly scripted, and (deliberately) akin to first-gen SNL: a truly meaningless "interview" that highlights the frustration of "new guy" status. Nice to remember Brent, whose performance and songs I appreciated from the get-go. Some time ago I put together my own imagining of the 1983 album the Dead failed to make, and used three songs from each singer. Well, I cheated a bit: "I Don't Need Love" didn't debut until March '84, but I didn't want to leave it out, so I guess it's the 1984 album they didn't make. Pretty good stuff!

Morrissey Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I love Brent Mydland. This comedy bit is a bit too dry for me, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't Al also complain "great, we get to interview the guy that's been in the band for 10 minutes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion. Quote -Tom Williams {First Name} {at} AirNetworking {dot} com PC4-7, PX-5S, AX-Edge, PC361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Brent was known for having a dirty mouth. Prior to Brent, a Dead concert featured precious few curse words, often used in lyrics for meaningful poetic effect. But Brent injected a more casual swearing style into the live performances, which some Deadheads got a kick out of but I think the larger portion (including me) found distasteful. Fortunately, Brent's keyboard chops outweighed his swearing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan May Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Brent Mydland was a great keyboard player for the Grateful Dead, and it's no surprise that he played during the most commercial period of the Dead. Mydland's keyboards included a Yamaha CP-70 and a Prophet 5 synthesizer, and he was also noted for using a Yamaha GS1, which was basically a synthesizer that operated on punch cards, and was also one of the first FM synthesizers Yamaha ever invented, predating the DX7 by about a few years. These are just some of my favorite Brent Mydland era Grateful Dead songs. And prior to playing in the Grateful Dead, Brent was also the keyboard player for the short lived rock band Silver, who charted briefly with the song Wham Bam.
