Last Week’s Sauce: July 19th – 25th
I had a horrible nightmare, I dreamed that we went…back in time. It was terrible. Well…We’re safe and sound now, back in good old 2010. We’ve got a nice collection this week, opening up with long instrumental exploration, members of The Grateful Dead, a jamband’s first show in over a year and some topical humor dedication from our friends from down south.

And we continue to take all the selected tracks, normalize them, create some simple fades and put it into one easy to download MP3 for you.

Artist & Title: Geoff Scott’s Public House – Unknown
Date & Venue: 2010-07-20 Atwoods Tavern – Cambridge, MA
Taper & Show Download: Andy Murray
I often write in this feature about one of Boston’s best kept secrets – Club D’Elf. Another one is Geoff Scott, guitarist formerly of Miracle Orchestra, that heads up Tuesday Night gigs at Atwood’s Tavern in Cambridge, MA. Geoff pulls from a similar pool of musicians that show up at Club D’Elf, and this 20-minute segment of music – which we are all having trouble figuring out song titles for – illustrates what this ensemble is all about. This past Tuesday’s performance featured Mike Rivard of Club D’Elf (Bass, Sintir, Kalimba), Johnny Trama (Guitar), Timo Shanko (Saxophone) and Brian Sayers (Drums). It’s not the most organized pickup jam, so I can’t even point you to a website that tells you when the next gig is.

READ ON for tracks from String Cheese Incident, the Rhythm Devils and Widespread Panic…
Artist & Title: Rhythm Devils – Cold Rain & Snow
Date & Venue: 2010-07-25 Red Butte Gardens – Salt Lake City, UT
Taper & Show Download: Russ Minas
Grateful Dead percussionists Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann are currently on the road touring as Rhythm Devils. They play tonight in San Diego, but the real interesting gig will be Gathering Of The Vibes on Saturday the 31st. We’ll see if they show up a day early to hang with their old bandmates Phil Lesh & Bob Weir who headline the mainstage Friday at The Vibes.

Cumberland Blues from the same show:
Artist & Title: String Cheese Incident – Bam! > Time To Pretend
Date & Venue: 2010-07-23 Red Rocks – Morrison, CO
Taper & Show Download: Peter Coffan
As we previously reported, SCI debuted a cover of MGMT’s Time To Pretend at their first show since 2009 last week during the opening show of a three-night-stand at Red Rocks. For the audio embedded below we have the segment from the beginning of the 2nd set which features the SCI original Bam! followed by the MGMT tune. SCI also debuted covers by Joe Walsh (via Barnstorm), The Police and Kansas over the course of the run. SCI plays three nights at Horning’s Hideout in North Plains, OR starting tonight.

Midnight Moonlight Encore from the third night of Red Rocks:
Widespread Panic – Pigeons > Who Do You Belong To? > Mr. Soul
Date & Venue: 2010-07-24 Bank of America Pavilion – Boston, MA
Taper & Show Download: Ted Gakidis
Widespread Panic opened their Boston show with a humorous dedication to Kings of Leon referencing their unfortunate gig cancellation in St. Louis. While I don’t normally like to include audio from the beginning of first sets – we like to let the sound guy figure out the acoustics of the room and generally pick audio from later in the show – this was too humorous to pass up. WSP plays Charlotte’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre tomorrow night.
