Save Your Face: Improvisation 1972-1974 Vol. 2 (Best of Shortlists Vol. 3)
By John Hilgart

Aside from "space" (improv without meter), Grateful Dead improvisations that aren’t directly related to a particular song are rarer than you’d think, even in 1972-1974. The point of this compilation is to bring together material that is largely outside of all such song-based frameworks. Pure, spontaneous jamming, with a beat you can dance to.

bill kreutzmann is such an underrated drummer! These are serious jazz chops! No wonder scofield plays there stuff now-a-days
Can't get enough of these jam compilations. Thx so much.
Exploration, psychedelic, inquisitive, and .... I love it. 👍⚘️
😮
And BTW, for me the Portland '74 jam out of Truckin' is on the very very top tier of best shit the boys ever played. EDIT: that's track 3 here, dig it
Free Hugs ❤🎉😅
Only The Finest 🍒🌴🍄⚡🙏⚡🍄🌴🍒
Cool collection of Jerry and the Buds Doin what they Like to do . 6 out of 5 Stars . Iko Iko .
I am sending you all the good vibes of Dancin' in the streets 1977 05 08 Barton Hall haha
Thanks! Fine way to spend a summertime lazy late Sunday afternoon! 😎🌹⚡
The 72-74 era is the crème de la crème
Hard to argue there yeah 🔥
The essential Key to many things, only way to open Doors, well Huxley had other manners TY for continued gems🍁🚍🌞🐻🌟
On my 2nd listen, this is just stupendous my man ! Makes me love my earphones collection
They're some cool cats playing here.
00:03:41 I love Jerry for his ideas. He always finds these little nuggets and plays around for a bit. Awesome!! Also here 00:05:33 Here also Bob joins in a bit while Phil keeps the groove.
00:08:28 The drumming is on point. Really good explorations! The vibe is very unique. Most bands would just explode: But the boys are just in their beloved elements!
00:15:38 High energy! Why? They just had a great "Truckin!" before this Jam. And after that Bill just keeps drumming on like a maniac. And everybody was like: Fine, lets jam like hell!
Many wow-moments are following. I love how they flirt with incredible intensity with so many layers and never lose their cool! And it's getting better and better because they all want more! Very surprising and groovy! Literally everbody has genius moments! This is full Greatful Dead Creative Power! I would've lost my s**t If I had experienced that personally. Unbelievable! My favorite so far. 00:21:48 And what grows out of that jam is just even more mindblowing haha! The sound & timing is just face-stealing awesomeness. The drumming alone is kicking it so good.
00:24:50 I love these nuggets hahaha
00:35:00 What grows out of that is one of the most epic Spanish Jams ever. Spectacular! Stellar! Devine! Very serious stuff. I've met this jam before in a very intense trip. Breathtaking to say the least. It turns you into light and diamonds as Wavy Gravy would say. Makes you wonder how this is all possible from the start of the universe to now until the end of time. I love how after the beauty comes insanity. Ha!
00:50:40 Very fine. 50 Seconds later Jerry has an incredible breathtaking melodic run. He is running over stardust. Fragile, human, beautiful.
00:55:44 Best riff Bob ever played.
00:59:08 And again! Mr. Jerry finds a golden nugget!
01:01:07 Super Hive Mind activity. Fine Art! Super dreamy.
01:14:55 Prime example how alive the music of GD can be. Incredible stuff. Fearlessly played. Jerry is totally on fire. What a musician!
01:20:35 Listen to that groove on the drums. Slick!
01:22:10 Wow, what is that? Almost beyond music. So pure and innocent. Jerry is a musical magician.
This is so awesome ❤😂
This is the best. Thank you for sharing.
No problem Tom, thanks for checking it out! Hope you're doing well.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. Well done!
Hey no problem James, thanks for saying that! All credit for the mix itself goes to John 😎
What James K says!
Yeahh, this is KILLER man, big UPS to all involved. Sounds pretty damn stellar
Looseness with Phil and Ned
I agree with that.....
Hey Helbit! Hope you're having a good start to the summer. You making it to any good shows this year? I'm going to Dead & Co at SPAC, also seeing Phil & Friends in Syracuse that same week.
@@LostMyDayJob Yeah , it's all good . Man , your gonna be doing some traveling eh ?......Aren't you originally from NY ?
Yeah, we're spending the summer in upstate NY, escaping the heat and spending time with family. I work remotely and my better half is a teacher so we're mobile during the summer thankfully.
@@LostMyDayJob Great , sounds like a good summer comin up . Have fun , stay cool .
what is your Mission Statement? i would guess it is to post the best music in the world with groovy pictures, just guessing. To everyone involved.... Thanks!
LOL something like that Tom! Just to have fun celebrating this great music really.
and to love yur mother . ... @@LostMyDayJob

Need a ticket.
This music slays demons. I like how the devil looks back: always blaming us for our past, when if you're saved is futile.
Saved by the blood of the LAMB ~ HE'S just a prayer away!
I love your words. This music slays demons. It builds a paradise too.
👀⚡️🔥⛅️🌤️☀️💥✨
ahh youngsters allways bemuse me . but with a world wide web why wouldnt they be pronounced . there is no thought of demons in this music . this music comes from a time of Peace n Love . the only way a demon would be mentioned in this scene , would be the phrase , They played the devil out of those instruments. the devil sucks . ☮
What can you tell me about the artwork? I see the red devil figure and the...other figure. The distorting and warping of the images got inexplicably heavy for me. What are we looking at here?
Hey Hubert! The image itself is the "cover art" from John's blog post for this mix. He often (but not always) includes artwork attribution on his post, you can check that post out via the link in the description.
As for the warp/distortion effects and the other graphics, that's just me having fun 😂. I hope it didn't get too dark on ya lol.
@@LostMyDayJob not too dark! I flashed on a kind of methodical repudiation of the devil, or evil and malice itself. Symbolism, what a rabbit hole.
i asked for water , u give me gasoline . ... i was thinkin the same thing Hubert , good question .
