They did four or five albums and several singles. None matched the success of Dirty Water but were still great! Side two of the "Try It" LP, in particular.

It would be cool to run this against the "Relax" jam from The Who Live at the Fillmore. Cream's jamming is heavier and blusier while The Who's is sharp and ballistic.
I really don't know for sure. Big Brother recorded there professionally, there's this Cream show, there's a Mothers Of Invention set from '68 but not a lot else as far as national acts. There are some from the local bands like the MC5, Rationals and Frost, though.
Surprisingly, no. There is a recording when they played the Eastown Theater in Detroit in 1971 but so far, no recording of the Dead at the Grande has ever surfaced. There are Leni Sinclair photographs but no recordings that I am aware of.
I know..you would think out of any of the bands that played there, The Dead, of all people, would have rolled tape, but apparently not and no one else did, either.

Jay Current:
Pink Floyd's '75 Los Angeles concert was a record store day selection last weekend. It's pricey since it's a multi-LP box, but I picked it up.
The second disc was tough to get through, though..."– Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" didn't yield many hours of listening pleasure for me, anyway..
The studio portion of Ummagumma feels like early demos that were never properly fleshed out. Some ideas were there, but the band just didn't do anything with them.
Go for it! That's why they're there! Appreciate you listening!

You ever have that experience where you're sitting in a room listening to music on headphones and the percussionist starts hitting something that sounds like someone banging on a door?
↳
Song:
"Riding On The L&M-Hold That Train" by "Steamhammer"
Solid jam to end the show. I believe this band has been played on Flange & Frigate a couple of times.

This and Eight Miles High were both a large part of my listening pleasure back in the day...Discotech Underground:

Honestly, I'm so used to the one playing, the "she get high" sounds weird...and doesn't really fit!Discotech Underground:

Yeah...vanhooserd:
↳ Song: "N.S.U." by "Cream"
They were really mind-blowing in 1967-68. Probably the first group playing at very high volume, although The Who could also be mentioned.Discotech Underground:
↳ vanhooserd @5:55
They were also one of the pioneers of "the long jam"...as this track attests...it's been going for seven minutes and it's not quite half over...Jay Current:
↳ vanhooserd @5:55
It would be cool to run this against the "Relax" jam from The Who Live at the Fillmore. Cream's jamming is heavier and blusier while The Who's is sharp and ballistic.S_P_G:

This is just great.Discotech Underground:
↳ Jay Current @5:58
I always liked the extended My Generation jam from "Live At Leeds" also.Discotech Underground:
↳ S_P_G @5:59
The whole set was taped that night and it's amazing! Sadly, there are very few recordings from the Grande, despite it being a major venue at the time.Roberto:
↳ Song: "N.S.U." by "Cream"
Holy shite to this!WLSClark: I'm so glad....you played this!
S_P_G:
↳ Discotech Underground @6:00
I wonder why.Discotech Underground:

I know, right?..Jay Current:
↳ S_P_G @5:59
As vanhooserd noted, insane stuff for 1967WLSClark: Hi Kip and all.

Did anyone hear that little LAYLA snippet at the end of one of EC's run?Discotech Underground:

What's up, Clark!?Jay Current:
↳ Discotech Underground @6:00
It takes up one-third of the original LP, and it was worth every minute.S_P_G:
↳ Discotech Underground @6:05
I’m guessing the Dead recorded when they played there.WLSClark: Love these posters!
TheDerek: Been some good tunage going on
Snayle:

HeyHI WLSClark !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Counting down & Looking forward to your Saturday Drop In !!!!!!!Discotech Underground:

Discotech Underground:

I don't recall seeing that, but then again I'm more a fan of the pre-DSOTM Floyd. I'm sure it got snapped up quickly.Fred R: UmmaGumma. It was considered really cool to have this album back in the late 70’s
Jay Current:

There's still two or three at my local store.Discotech Underground:

The second disc was tough to get through, though..."– Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" didn't yield many hours of listening pleasure for me, anyway..S_P_G:

I”m sure there is some very good explanation.Snayle:
↳ WLSClark @6:11
Yeah - almost there...J in LA:
↳ Song: "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" by "Pink Floyd"
UmmaGumma........the album of my first trip. Had the TV on in the background silent playing some weird late nite shit playingDiscotech Underground:
↳ S_P_G @6:20
My guess would be the "taping culture" that surrounded the Dead hadn't really developed in 1968 yet.Fred R: Very true about the second album Kip. I never liked it
Discotech Underground:
↳ Fred R @6:22
It just didn't seem to go anywhere...TheDerek:

That is certainly true. That came in the early 70s. And what a great favor those folks did for the community and the band.WLSClark:

Yeah, everything starts within 50 miles of Lincoln and heads east.Discotech Underground:
↳ WLSClark @6:31

This sounds very Who influenced.WLSClark:
↳ Discotech Underground @6:32
Tornado warning over Nebraska City as I type.Discotech Underground:
↳ S_P_G @6:34
Very much so, and considering it was 1971, it tracks. "Tommy" influenced, for certain.S_P_G:

This album is an old fave and I haven't played anything from it in a while, as Jay pointed out!vanhooserd:
↳ Song: "A Friend You Know But Never See" by "Mighty Baby"
Back around 1973 a friend had an import LP set with performances from the Glastonbury Festival. Mighty Baby was on it as well as the Dead.Discotech Underground:
