Garden Party Fish - VocalsSteve Rothery - GuitarDiz Minnitt - BassMick Pointer - DrumsBrian Jelliman - KeyboardsThere is a lot of confusion around as to when this tape was originally made and I have seen it dated from 1980 right through to the middle of 1981 but I suspect the real date will never be known.Here's what I do know.On 2nd January the then three members of the band record a demo called "Close" this was then sent to the two new members, Fish and Diz Minnitt who then came down to join them to rehease that - now called "The Web" - and other songs.The band stayed at Leyland Hill Farm studios for up to ten weeks, before their first actual gig on 14th March at the Red Lion Pub in Bicester. (this tape is also credited to that gig but that is clearly wrong). This tape is clearly the band in rehearsal as you can hear them talking between the songs, and despite the title, clearly isn't the first time Fish had played with them, so it would be pretty safe to assume it comes from near the end of the rehearsal process as they are playing a full set. Of course, given that there are some edits between tracks it may not all be from the same day, or they may have just stopped the tape between numbers.

Remember when the worst thing about MTV was the Steve Perry "Oh, Sherry" video?Footage of pop provocateur Ke$ha drinking her own urine was set to air Tuesday on her MTV reality show, and that’s not sitting well with the Parent Television Council.In a letter to supporters Tuesday, the PTC warned against watching Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life and its “disgusting, vile content." It also called on cable providers to allow subscribers the option of choosing which channels they receive.“Why should we have to pay for this kind of garbage just so we can get access to Discovery, Disney, or the Golf channel? It’s outrageous — and it shouldn’t be that way,” reads the letter.Ke$ha, whose series premiered in April, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the urine-drinking incident, which she indicated it was a one-time thing."I heard it was good for you. That was, like, the rumor," she said. "But I don’t know. I’m also just one that doesn’t shy away from things. I’m not good at saying 'no' so I just figure, f--- it, I’ll try anything once. So I tried it. I wouldn’t recommend it. It was pretty gross. And I don’t think it really did anything very beneficial to me so, yeah, I wouldn’t probably do it again." "Ke$ha: My Crazy Beautiful Life" airs Tuesdays on MTV at 11 p.m.

I've been highly critical of the decisions by record companies to mix tunes from multiple concerts, add studio overdubs, and generally portray their version of reality, as opposed to just presenting a concert as it truly took place. I've also sung the praises of the Grateful Dead, who with the Dick's Picks, and now Dave's Picks, series of official releases have, for the most part. given fans full concerts, straight from the master tapes, warts and all, presenting the band exactly as those in attendance heard them. Yet even the Dead have had some missteps with their official releases. For example, Dick's Picks #3 featured the band's May 22, 1977 concert from 3 dozen years ago today in Pembroke Pines, FL. In order to keep the release as a double CD set, however, 8 songs from that show were not included, an unfortunate decision. Fortunately, soundboard tapes from that show do circulate so we do have access to the missing songs. That's what we have here for you today - the 8 unreleased tunes - and only those tunes - from that historic Spring 1977 performance. Download these songs, buy Dick's Picks #3 if you don't already have it, combine the sources per the set list above, and you'll have the complete show!
