Song Review: Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros feat. Tyler Childers - “Mama Tried” (Live, April 3, 2022)

Bobby Weir & Wolf Bros are authentically outlaw, wrapping Tyler Childers in country immunity as he leads the band through “Mama Tried.”

Recorded professionally April 3, 2022, at Radio City Music Hall and freshly released, this owes more to Merle Haggard’s original studio recording than to the Grateful Dead’s live arrangement. Which is not only the aim with Wolf Bros’ instrumentation of pedal-steel and electric guitar, acoustic piano, double bass and drums, but well-suited for Childers, who dwells in that space.

Weir’s guitar solo could’ve - and should’ve - yielded to Barry Sless’ steel. But expecting Weir to cede that territory after ceding the mic to Childers is folly and this “Mama Tried” is a refreshing Dead-world take on a Grateful warhorse.

Everybody say, “Thank you, Tyler.”

TAKING A PHOTO OF A PHOTO BEING TAKEN -- WAY BACK TO THE OLOMPALI YEARS.

NOTE: The person in between Bob and Bill is Ken Babbs, not a member of the Dead.

PIC INFO: Resolution at 1053x1557 -- Spotlight on a group portrait of American rock band, the GRATEFUL DEAD, photographed by Thomas Weir during the band's "Aoxomoxoa" period at Olompali State Park in Novato, California, c. 1969. 📸: Sylvia Clarke Hamilton.

OVERVIEW: "The Dead had a close connection to Olompali – it was, for them, something like sacred ground. After returning from Los Angeles in spring ’66, they moved to Rancho Olompali and stayed there through May and June, renting the property for several weeks.

Though they weren’t there long, they would remember their stay as an idyllic golden age, a “paradisiacal retreat.” (Although sometimes in their acid trips, they’d have threatening visions of the ancient Indians who’d used to live there, their spirits still haunting the walls and trees.)

The band held some famous parties during their stay, playing music for a stream of tripping visitors from San Francisco. On one occasion, May 22, they sent a flyer to all their friends in the music scene: "The Grateful Dead invite you to an afternoon of inter-galactic travel, to a communion with the spirits of long dead Indians, to a dance celebrating mainly all of us.""

One of the best live albums and my introduction to this incredible band which I first heard in my early teens in the early 70's.

Song Review: Grateful Dead - “In the Midnight Hour” (Live, Dec. 31, 1985)

It looks even more fun - and certainly more nostalgic - today than it did 40 years ago on television.

It is the Grateful Dead playing a ramshackle but rambunctious rendition of “In the Midnight Hour” just after 12 a.m. as 1985 melted into ’86 in Oakland. Balloons are falling. Dead Heads are dancing. Bill Walton is towering over all of them. Father Time, aka Bill Graham, is keeping watch.

And the band keeps playing on in this latest “All the Years Live” video release.

Bob Weir uses his short rap to welcome the nationwide television audience and wish them a “very happy New Year - from us to you” before heading back to the chorus and dramatically cuing the close.

As this was happening, young Sound Bites was watching from the other side of the country, where it was 3 a.m. He was doing things he shouldn’t have been doing and enjoying every bit of it. It was a lot of fun - probably less than memory says - but it looks even funner now.

That could be the nostalgia talking, though.
