How Do You Do? Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Last night on AXS TV, Warren Haynes backed up by the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, at Red Rocks. An hour and a half of standards (and a few "surprises") set to orchestra arrangements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His response - "Cassidy" Thanks for sharing this, Uncle Sam. Very insightful, obviously. Before I read this I would have put Cassidy in my top 10 GD songs (if forced to pick such a thing). Has a unique blend of dreamy storytelling and a bit of a western vibe on the back of psychedelic rock and a big opening near the end for extended improvisation to be jammed out. Checks all the boxes. I'll add a link to one of my favorite versions from a show I attended. Raw and open feel to this one. Sent me to the moon and back. You'll also appreciate the encore. https://archive.org/details/gd88-06-20.sennheiser.ladner.17269.sbeok.shnf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also some limitations that appear to follow official releases. Kids can't vote on something that they never heard. So get your happy ass over there and register and add your faves! Part of the problem or part of the solution! Oh, and please use your same handle so I don't get confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
