Description
Daemon, the invisible agent. Outdoor show on the steps of the MIT student union. Free and short performance in solidarity of the nationwide student strike protesting the Kent State shootings and the expansion of the Vietnam War into Cambodia. Dare to struggle, Dare to win..
Ned Lagin, multidisciplinary composer/scientist had written a letter, including samples of his own soundscape vision, requesting a M.I.T. happening. Seastones courtship.
Unique/unprecedented edge to a music mirroring the zeitgeist shift. Anger, bewilderment, anxiety, exhileration. Jerry and Phil's driving improv. crushing and wonderous, rooted yet free. Magical, historic versions of foundation material.
From The Tech newspaper.. "Wednesday. The sky an airbrushed blue-grey cloud cover, like a cheesy mural in a Howard Johnson's. The Dead behind a gaggle of microphones, behind them two eight-foot coffin woofers, clusters of speaker horns. Twenty or thirty people form a chain, whipping through the closely grouped crowd, looking like ... like what? A ribosome, a chain of procreation dancing across a living cell, or Death leading his dancing subjects? Grateful dead? Inane metaphors."
Four dead in Ohio. End the war now!
Restored and remastered from the original WMBR broadcast. Limited edition digipak.
