To the people who don’t know what southern rock is, I say listen to this.
Stunning is the only word for this kind of beauty.🎵♥
This is the same night that the Jerry Garcia Band played two epic shows at the Warner Theatre in DC. Those were the days.
Extraordinary. Astonishing. Sublime.
A drum solo that puts one into a trance. Amazing
Dan Toler smokes on this!!!!
Hell yeah! He was in the zone, wow.
@@thebreathalyzer holy shit, I'd say.
Very nice, thanks for the upload.
I wanted this to last forever............
The entire band is smokin' taking High Falls on this wonderful trip. The sound is better balanced on this video so that each musician is well heard. All fantastic. Special props to David Goldflies on bass, the instrument that lays the foundation (a workout!) so important to this piece. Quite a thrill -- thanks so much for posting.
Rest In Peace Ralph.
Dickey in his prime
A glaring omission , that Frankie Toler wasn’t listed in the credits !!
I just read something by Oteil Burbridge that opened my eyes to another facet of this tune spoken from the perspective of a bass player - this tune is a rhumba.
I've always heard it as a 4/4 straightahead rock tone poem. It surely works that way if you pay attention to the drummers, and not the bass.
Gold flies plays z Latin throughput, and now I've taken to watching Dickie to see what gives.
Dickie intentionally wrote a Latin tune called Dona Maria, which I thought was not successfully carrying a truly legit Latin tempo.
If he composed High Falls with this intention, he does a helluva job. Truly, Dan's solo moves easily through the Latin genre, moreso than Dickie's it would seem.
Could have been written with both intentions? Do musicians ever do that?
I'm curious what others of you ghink.
That is interesting. I never thought of the tune as a rumba. According to Encylopedia Britannica, the music of the rumba is in 4/4. High Falls is in 2/2 with a lot faster tempo than rumbas. A rumba "has an insistent syncopation" and we can certainly hear syncopation in the B section of High Falls. Having been to the location, High Falls, the piece reinforces for me a reflection of a nature scene there--a glassy lake emptying into a rocky stream surrounded by a forest with the introduction the glassy lake and the B section the rocky stream. In that sense it reminds me of rock-fusion version of Smetana's 'Moldau' ruclips.net/video/3G4NKzmfC-Q/видео.html
Just my personal thoughts.
@@Kithara111 thanks for the in-depth analysis. I guess I'm not in agreement with Bubridge's term rhumba. To me, as I play my shakhare along with it, the a part still can be heard as a salsa beat.
I don't know much about a 2/2 time, I won't argue with you. Betts said he also was a fan of Western swing - and maybe that's what he was hearing as he composed the a section. Wish we could ask him.
Smoking stuff!!!
Anyone know who’s playing keyboards here
Michael Workman.
?? As good as the ABB?
Better in some places
I think so.
are you daft?
