There's always gonna be certain D/Ss that people would favor in any given year, but I'd suggest really checking out D/S fromĨ8-89-I believe that's when the drummers really got midi-fied and the Drums were not to be pissed on in general. which I always viewed as having been more "elevated" into that slot of "opening the tripping doors" when DStar was gone. If you check out 82-88, they played a lot of Birdsong, Cassidy, MNS, PITB, etc. I think, in general, that the years when DarkStar was put away ( essentially 81-89), the D/S segment seemed to be most relevent as a "piece" rather than just a piss break. It has the same fated, tragic majesty that bears witness to the life force in all truly great art.” It is a beautiful tune – that has no chorus, but just builds from verse to verse – and this version is magnificently played.FWIW, according to Healy in his book, D/S come along mostly as a means for the band to go backstage and re-up, so it was meant to be a break of sorts born out of their habits. As Steve Silberman says in his short essay on the song, “’Days Between’ was the final battlefield where the Dead dared to face the elementary questions of existence, and refused to flinch. It was one of the last collaborations between Hunter and Garcia and may very well be the most mature of all Hunter’s poetry up until that point. The Days Between was only the second ever played, though the band would go on to do just over forty in the next three years. His 1966 album, Colors, originally created as advertising spots for the Fuller Paint Company is quite fun and interesting and is also emblematic of his work (check out this short piece on it with links to the tracks).
However, Nordine was always a little more commercial and, literally, wrote poetry and performed for commercials as well as doing Hollywood voice-overs. With his poetry over jazz, he was a fellow traveler with the Beats. Ken Nordine is an American voice recording artist who was best known for his Word Jazz albums, which first appeared in the late 1950s.
