Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Hi are you still interested in having any advance readers for the book? I’ve been very excited about it for a while but mostly oblivious/inactive on social media so I missed the earlier call. Furthermore if this book launch needed any psychedelic light art, I am your man. 120
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/02/2025had a real crusher of a day over here. Can’t believe it’s taken me all these years to learn that Tesla covered Truckin’ on their acoustic album 010
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Jerry really making the absolute most of the last chance he’ll have to play with his friends in this configuration 000
Reposted by Dr. Otis P Acejesse jarnow @bourgwick.bsky.social · 06/02/2025yeah, looks like 2 versions of the same '72 broadcast. jerrybase.com/events/19720... '73 studio broadcast was on 7/8 & has very different list. jerrybase.com/events/19730...jerrybase.com1973-07-08 Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders1973-07-08 Jerry Garcia and Merl Saunders Record Plant, Sausalito, CA 011
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025Save Mother Earth>Space>Imagine on the 72 tape also a crusher. I do wonder if these are the same show but the track listings are different enough that it makes me think these are tapes of two separate radio broadcasts of the same show potentially 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025god bless FM radio for making so many live shows sound so good 🫡🫡 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 06/02/202573 show is all highlights in my opinion however the absolute stunner is the jam>Imagine. Imagine fucking sucks but as a landing pad for a thoroughly spun psychedelic soul jazz jam stripped of the bullshit ass lyrics it’s actually great 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025love what homeboy did with the layered red and blue marker for the track listing on the 72 show. 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 06/02/2025really seems like February 6 is a great day for hot jams based on the evidence provided by plumbing the depths of the Jerryverse, Merle quadrant. 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Sundays are for a lot of things but in this house Space Music continually reigns supreme 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025crowd is very much into the acoustic hams and are even clapping along in an approximation of time to Uncle John’s Band 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Sadly this version is cut short and the tape’s filler starts with an acoustic up tempo Friend of the Devil with Bob claiming to play it as a request. Followed up with a nice lazy Candyman 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Mason’s Children should have been on the Day of the Dead tribute album in place of countless things but the one that always reminds me the whole project had critical failings is someone covering Clementine Jam. Not Clementine. A studio jam from a CD reissue. Fake head shit 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Drum break>jam transition into Mason’s Children fits with the kind of perfection that makes a man wish the Dead were more predictable 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025slight extension of the swell jam before dropping into the hotly anticipated if crowd reaction is anything to go by St. Stephen 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025After a brief visit to the isles of recognizably Dark Star jamming a return to the vast uncharted seas of full band improv finds our heroes continuing to slowly but surely raise intensity before cresting once again to the safe shores of the Dark Star riffs and the second verse 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025feelin groovy jam after the first full band crest out of the space zones bringing much needed resolution to the wizardous gumbo 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Phil enters with big major key chords, subtly shifting things away from terror to light very briefly before giving way to high trilling organ and noodly Garcia soloing. Out of this ooze young Bobby Weir establishes the vaguest outlines of a groove and everyone joins in 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Post verse jam almost immediately dissolves into scratchy abstractions and percussive washes fit for a particularly freaky Seastones 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025If you’re only going to have three tunes from a show, it’s hard to argue with Dark Star, St. Stephen, and Mason’s Children. Tape is lacking in low end and definition from the percussion so far but the jams are mystical and the tones unmatched 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 02/02/2025The ultimate expression of the western United States in 1970 found themselves exporting their particular strain of American excellence to the gateway to the west, St. Louis, on this day in tapes. 110
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 31/01/2025They had it on the Kickstarter. I’d say try emailing them and see if there are any spares that might make it online soon 010

Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 29/01/2025colossal day at Tapes HQ as the much anticipated Grayfolded cassette, socks and coffee from @imprec.bsky.social has arrived. Absolutely gorgeous presentation of the holy scroll on the j cards and I really really appreciate the titles in being in the waveforms. Just immaculate 151
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025as the sorting process continues I am finding myself drawn to the unknowns and on this day in tapes, the unknown is a wah wah and fuzz obsessed electric bluegrass adjacent band called Seatrain feat. the guy who made the music for KidPix playing bass on a pre Little Feat version of Willin’ 010
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025If Pierre Henry and Spooky Tooth had done something this cool with their collaborative efforts we would know world peace 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Potatoland is an album that would have annihilated 1968 but instead it came out in 1981 and sounds like Wet Tuna crossed with Vanilla Fudge playing an ill fated lost Frank Zappa conceptual epic complete with hardcore band worthy interludes. This is genuinely some of the coolest music ever made 130
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025Facing another long standing time bomb in my life by listening to Spirit deep cuts and becoming a Randy California truther 110
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025very very very VERY excited to go deep on those boys. All of them 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025For some reason it feels right for the Janis Joplin and Genesis sub collections to be about the same size 010
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025you can tell I’m a boomer on the inside because I see these two points in rock history as massively different when they are barely disconnected on any level 010
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 28/01/2025This is obvious in retrospect but having organized part of my tape collection by “bands descended from the Yardbirds” but the Allman Brothers is by law a part of the Yardbirds extended cinematic universe by virtue of Duane Allman being in Derek and the Domonis 110
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 27/01/2025as a native Michigander I can only allow myself to tolerate one new poor representation of my state being a thing I love per decade of my life. I’m teeing up to get really into Eminem in my 40’s. 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 27/01/2025listening to a Bob Seger tape from 1974 and being forced to accept that @thetrailhead.bsky.social is correct, Bob Seger is good, actually what’s next, Jethro Tull?! 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Without Eno to do Eno shit this band really does kinda land squarely in the realm of King Crimson and Tom Jones making dramatic crooner prog exactly the way god intended 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 27/01/2025a dense cloud of fuzz guitar and ambient sounds kicks things off in Stockholm courtesy of Phil Manzanera and the boys in Roxy Music, on this day in tapes 130
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 24/01/2025this pile of headaches, other people’s questionable decision making, iniquity and sin is worth (with provenance) 2K to like, EMEAPP, maybe. They got a bit of a rock hall situation going on over there with strict boomer band focus though 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 24/01/2025listen. If you want to spend more than 500 bucks on an L100 and more than 300 bucks on that Leslie, that’s your business. You can do that. Just know you’ll always be less of a man than me for both collecting such obscene wealth and then using it so poorly. 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/01/2025very sick descending jam post box back nitties drop in Lovelight. A fine way to end a fine tape 🤌 000
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Jam is sounding very much like it’s about to fall into Smokestack Lightning before getting right back into the “one way or another” vocal refrain not unlike He’s Gone would later be arranged 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/01/2025New Speedway Boogie a famously underplayed song and were you to only hear this version you’d be right to wonder why. Tasteful piano fills in the second verse, Garcia sounds cartoonish in a good way, they seem to know the song pretty good 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Borderline return to Good Lovin’ in the China Cat jam, very very nice. This is the stuff I yearn for, audience also loving it as I Know You Rider takes shape in a much more 1967 style than I would expect from the 1970 Dead 100
Dr. Otis P Ace @otditapes.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Candyman sounding an awful lot like Mountains In The Mist in the intro 100
