Bruce Hornsby & Bela Fleck - "Tangled Up In Blue"
Charles Ives Center - Danbury, CT - 8-21-99
I went looking for this tune in my collection as I remebered it to be one of the best covers of Bob Dylans “Tangled Up In Blue” that I had heard. I thought it was from Telluride becuse Bruce and Bela had played their often. I consulted my good friend Bob Falcon because not only is he a music lover but he also possess an audiographic...
Hot Rize "Nellie Kane"
The Cowboy - Pismo Beach, CA - 4-29-84
I posted a different Hot Rize show over on my blog and this tune wasn’t played. This song, penned by Tim O’Brein, is one of my favorite song by the band.

The Cowboy - Pismo Beach, CA - 4-29-84
Like “Nellie Kane” this song is a supliment to the Hot Rize show over on my music blog. That show features plenty of choice Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers honky tonk music.

Jerry Garcia / John Kahn - Simple Twist of Fate
Warner Theater - Washington, DC 6-26-1982
While the motive behind this duo tour were sad, the acoustic Garcia licks are a pleasure. Splitting the take between only two members of the Jerry Garcia Band allowed increased funds for herion. Sad but true.
His solo on this tune is my favorite from any of the tunes they did. I admire the way he takes it to another level half way through. As...

The Down Home - Johnson City, TN 4-18-1985
This is the closing song from the show I posted. We could argue who is the better songwriter, Dylan or Van Zandt, but they both work well here. These two tunes fit together to make a true masterpiece.

I hope Joe posts some more Mickey Newbury songs.
messyheadblues:
I couldn’t find a digital version of Mickey Newbury singing this painfully beautiful song, so I settled on the erstwhile unheard-of Stephen Ackles, who at least sings it with some emotion. Newbury is such a cool and underappreciated characted. Cash and Roger Miller and those fellas from the previous generation honor him as the...
