Cover Wars: Row Jimmy

Row Jimmy was released on the 1973 Grateful Dead album Wake Of The Flood. Over at one of my favorite GD online sites, The Annotated Grateful Dead Lyrics, they point out…

First performance: February 9, 1973 at Rose Maples Pavilion, Stanford University. “Row Jimmy” was in the second slot in the first set. Other firsts at this show included “China Doll,” “Eyes of the World,” “Here Comes Sunshine,” “Loose Lucy,” “They Love Each Other,” and “Wave That Flag.”

That’s quite a batch of tunes.

The Contestants:

In this unsourced blog posting, Colin Meloy of The Decemberists discusses how his views of the Grateful Dead evolved over the years. It’s a highly recommended read and I like the fact that he addresses the facts that he blew some of the lyrics, that way I don’t have to call him out on it.

Delaney Gibson

Claiming that she tends to always have some unrequited love, Delaney Gibson’s song material focuses on a girl who vows to remain hopeful.  Although her previous record was focused on one particular person, Gibson isn’t losing sight on releasing new material.  Her heartbreak can be transformed into songs that effortlessly progress from soft moments to loud exclamations.  She is simply being a woman telling stories and pouring her heart out to strangers who care to listen.

While many in the Northeast were hit by record snow falls, some headed out of town and on to Jam Cruise or Mayan Holidaze. With sets on the beach by the Disco Biscuits, Umphrey’s McGee, STS9 and more, fans at Holidaze left the cold weather behind and enjoyed themselves in the sun – when they weren’t watching the Big Game on TV.

For those that stayed in town, many took their talents – and wallets – to Roger Daltrey’s Rock ‘n Roll Fantasy Camp.  After rehearsals and masterclasses with Simon Kirke of Bad Company and producer Phil Ramone, the final show at BB Kings in Times Square included a variety of campers and artists playing on such classics as Born To Run and Stand By Me.
