The Kingsmen had a big hit with "Louie, Louie" (written by Richard
Berry) in 1963. Their incomprehensible vocal performance made the
record a legend among pubescent suburban boys of the time - although
no one could quote anything specific, we were sure they were singing
something deliciously dirty. Since then, just about everybody who has
ever plugged in a guitar has taken a crack at it. The song has been
recorded thousands of times; Rhino Records released a Best of Louie,
Louie compilation (including Richard Berry's original, the Kingsmen
single and versions by the Sandpipers, Black Flag, the Rice
University Marching Owl Band (!), and others) in 1983, and Bay Area
college radio station KFJC aired more than 300 versions of the song
during "Maximum Louie, Louie" in August of 1983. The Grateful Dead
introduced "Louie, Louie" in the second set at the Hartford Civic
Center April 5, 1988, with three- (or was it four-) part harmony on
the choruses and Brent Mydland singing the verses. I heard Richard
Berry sing "Louie, Louie" a couple of years ago at the Sweetwater in
Mill Valley with a band that included Ry Cooder on guitar. Berry's
version is slower, swingin'er, downright romantic; the version Brent
and the boys played was more like Richard Berry than the Kingsmen.


"Louie, Louie" only appeared a few more times in 1988 - the last
one was at Madison Square Garden on September 20 (thanks, Mal) -
possibly because the band started working on new songs of their own
right after that.

"Bombs Away" is the opening cut on Bob Weir's 1978 solo album,
Heaven Help the Fool, recorded on the heels of the Dead's Terrapin
Station with the same producer, Keith Olsen, in the same LA studio.


That's the late Keith Godchaux playing piano on "Mexicali Blues."
He played with the Grateful Dead from 1971 until February, 1979.
Brent joined in April of that year - hey, it's almost his Tenth
Aniversary!

"The Race Is On" is from Reckoning, a live album of acoustic
performances recorded in September and October, 1980 at San
Francisco's Warfield Theatre and Radio City Music Hall in New York.
