If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

looking for something firm in a world of chaotic flux

The Grateful Dead kinda fell apart in the 1980s--the spark had gone as Garcia's drug habit took its toll and he fell into and out of a diabetic coma in 1986. The spark returned in the 1989 tour and in the early 1990s when Bruce Hornsby (piano) and Vince Wellnick (organ) were on keyboards, replacing the Brent Mydland, who had died of a drug overdose .

The magic of the musical improvisation returned in this example--- 'Eyes of the World' 17 6 91 at Giants Stadium.This is Part I

The unbridled, jazz-fusion-driven exploration---what Ornette Coleman dubbed "harmolodics", in which the mussical flow derives from the unique interaction between the players ---come to an end with band’s departing soiree in October 1974; the "farewell" concerts at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco. The sonic architecture of its later concerts reflected a different, more tightly-knit perspective.

The improvisation here is not devoid of form or structure, nor is it a free-form ad hoc rambling.

This is Part 2
