Live Dead '69 - Phantom Ships With Phantom Sails ((CD))

Phantom Ships With Phantom Sails is the debut 2 CD release by LIVE DEAD 69. The title, a lyric from Robert Hunters Days Between bullseyes the recordings architecture. Featuring original GRATEFUL DEAD member Tom Constanten, the pianist who played all the keyboards on the Live Dead recording, was inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995; was the linchpin of the Grateful Deads first ambitious/ experimental studio recordings Anthem of The Sun and Aoxomoxoa, and toured with the Dead culminating in their appearance at Woodstock. LIVE DEAD 69 is not a tribute; it is a continuation of the Deads essential zeitgeist of extemporization and interpretive improvisation spotlighting exquisite selections from Grateful Deads halcyon repertoires of psychedelic originals, cherished covers and jams. Along with Constanten is Mark Karan, lead guitarist with Bob Weirs Rat Dog and The Other Ones. Slick Aguilar who played lead guitar in Jefferson Starship & KBC for 26 years and with David Crosby Band before that. He is also a charter member of The Airplane Family. Robin Sylvester, bassist with Bob Weirs Rat Dog and Pete Lavezzoli from JGB on drums. This only commercially available recording by LIVE DEAD 69 features 9 performances from their annual trek through England, Scotland & Wales & 9 performances from home.
