R.I.P. Bob Weir, my GOAT rhythm guitarist. I got into #gratefuldead via tapes of 1972-1974 improvisation, and the secret sauce for me was Bob Weir’s guitar. His rhythms, interjections, and harmonics were constant elements of surprise and delight to me. I danced to him. He had to create a space for himself in the Dead’s music, and he did so brilliantly and uniquely. I’ve never been able to listen t

If you haven't already heard, I am pleased to inform you that the #gratefuldead 1975 Ace’s studio sessions have finally been sorted. Choose from everything (24 hours) or a curated selection (11 hours). Amazing music assembled with archival and scholarly rigor. https://saveyourface.posthaven.com/grateful-dead-the-1975-aces-sessions-2026-edition

If you’re familiar with the Save Your Face mixtape blog, you’ll know I love to filter #gratefuldead music and arrange it into new ways to listen. My latest adventure has been compiling the material that I think is most worth hearing (again and again!) within the 24-hours of circulating, 1975 “Ace’s Sessions.” I ended up with 6.5 hours, arranged into seven “discs/albums.” (1/2)

Happy 4th Day of July to #gratefuldead Heads. The band rarely played the date, but the Save Your Face mixtape curation of their July 4 shows from ’81, ’84, and ’86 has surprisingly chalked up 21,000 listens on YouTube.

About 4.5 hours of these Ace's curations are as-played; the rest is made up of edits that give shaggier stuff more listener-friendly shapes. 65 tracks total, adjusted to the same volume for shuffle-heads.

Among the 24 hours of #gratefuldead 1975 Ace’s Sessions (circulating) is a gorgeous, gentle, 2.5-minute improvisation (dated 3/21) that has always been marred by massive tape hiss. Grady Don Sandlin kindly de-hissed it, and you can be amon…
I’ve been having fun making edits from the #gratefuldead “Complete Circulating 1975 Ace’s Sessions.” Here’s one where I took pieces of five short stabs at the EAC/Music Never Stopped theme from 2/28/75 and turned them into a continuous exp…
The #gratefuldead are officially releasing Tampa, FL, December 18, 1973, which is great news.
The soundboard mix of this show is excellent, and the Garcia songs are so consistently good that I compiled them as a 90-minute all-Garcia “album…

Here’s an excerpt from the 11/12/72 Kansas City #gratefuldead performance of “He’s Gone,” featuring ONLY Garcia and Weir’s guitar parts.
If you’re not familiar with the classic jazz remix craze, circa 2000, here’s my longstanding curation of it - which my daughter asked me to recreate on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Y6d9bpSfEMHaePQxRe9VP?si=32a2d7aa25bf4bd0

I can’t let June 28 pass without appreciating (for the 1000th time) these six minutes of pure improvisation by #gratefuldead from 6/28/74, in Boston. This is the first thing I play for non-Heads to illustrate jazz Dead. It’s a one-off, but…
