Aaah!
You're travelling north - away from London. Always a good policy.

Just for you then Chompo
From one of Coventry's finest, Philip Larkin:

Coming up England by a different line
For once, early in the cold new year,
We stopped, and, watching men with number plates
Sprint down the platform to familiar gates,
"Why, Coventry!" I exclaimed. "I was born here."

Whenever I see a bunch of blokes with moustaches
'backs to the wall' is my first reaction too...

They made some superb records,
unfortunately the last of them came out in about 1972....

Have fun - although I fear that with Jerry having joined the ranks of the rather less grateful dead with a small D, it'd be like going to see the Jimi Hendrix Experience after Jimi got beamed up...

Never really known where to start with them
I read that most "dead-heads" think it is all about the live albums.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Tue 15 Nov 2011, 8:32, Reply)

That's not so.
Their most accessible early studio LP is American Beauty - some lovely songs on there in a country vein. In the same area is Workingman's Dead, another great album.

Aomoxoa and Anthem of the Sun are their most psychedelic records and for that reason amongst my favourites - the latter being particularly good. It's nuts - what you have are spliced together live/studio jam edits cobbled into (reasonably coherent) single entities. It also has a great cover.

Live Dead and Europe '72 are good live LPs but my favourite is Bear's Choice which has a superb version of Hard to Handle on it.

In general when Pigpen was alive they were at their best - he added a bluesy grit to their sound which was badly needed and never replaced.

You have not been charged for this call.
