Grateful Dead "St. Stephen"

I'm happy at my desk!

And I think that's Steve doing all the bits in "Saving Grace". It never occurred to me that that might not be him. But I don't really know.

The Beatles "Here Comes The Sun"

Boz Scaggs "Loan Me A Dime" (featuring Duane Allman on guitar)

Grateful Dead "St. Stephen"

Just had to pull over to the side of the road and post. Holy shit!

Really listening to the piano parts in this today. Constanten really added something to this band that they didn't get from Pigpen or Keith Godchaux, imo. Too bad he left so soon, but given the band's history of keyboard fatalities, it may have saved his life.

Boz Scaggs "Loan Me A Dime"

BOS. This is a classic.

[urth]

Whoa!!!! Loan Me a Dime!!! This really is turning into a pretty fine set! Could all of our pissing and moaning finally be having an effect? (Of course, who knows if it will be reflected in the 80s and 90s sets that really need to be stirred up a bit?)

[CapnJack]

Well played set -- this has got DC's fingerprints all over it. Long set as well -- nearing the top of the hour!

The Internets knows all and sees all! (well, maybe it does.)

Per Wikipedia, the lead vocals on Your Saving Grace were done by Tim Davis, who wrote the song and played drums on the whole album. The spoken word part I mentioned was performed by producer Glyn Johns.

Thanks for the Lowdown on Duane.

Wow, well there ya go. Well-played!

[Here'sToYa!]

Of course this Age of Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In is overplayed, but I love it anyway. I forgot the name of the fellow who plays the smokin' bass (especially on part 2), but I think he's in the session musician Hall of Fame and might have been part of the Wrecking Crew.

Per the wikipedia page, these were the bassists who played in the Wrecking Crew at various times:

bass: Carol Kaye, Joe Osborn, Max Bennett, Chuck Berghofer, Ray Pohlman, Larry Knechtel, Lyle Ritz, Red Callender, Jimmy Bond, Bill Pitman

I recognize only two of those, Carol Kaye and Larry Knechtel (who played on the Partridge Family records, iirc), but I imagine it could have been any of these.

It was Joe Osborn who, as you noted, was part of the Wrecking Crew but is not in the Sidemen Hall of Fame. I think I researched this during another 10@10, and there were Internet commenters who felt it is a shame he's not in, and that's what stuck in my mind. He played on a long, long list of notable songs.

Per Renee: Boz Scaggs gets BOS, hands down.

Yes, good research. I was wondering where Steve had all of the sudden gotten all that range.
