Steven Sharp Nelson - Grace: A Sacred Cello Collection - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Steven Sharp Nelson began developing his musical talents at a very early age. His first composition, for percussion ensemble, was written before he could even read music. His skills and interests are rooted in the cello, voice, guitar, and percussion. Nelson's ability and style span many instruments and genres of music most aptly in classical, cultural, folk, and improvisational music. He has written many pieces for a variety of ensembles, and is most acclaimed for his works written for symphony, chorale, and for film. Among these works are 'Farewell,' a piece written at age 15, which was performed by the Utah Symphony, 'Supplication,' an acapella piece written for the memory of 9/11 victims, and 'Spanish Trail Suite,' a nationally commissioned symphony commemorating the Old Spanish Trail. Steven Sharp Nelson is no stranger to the stage and is also sought after by recording studios. His cello sounds can be heard on over 100 different albums some of which have been at the top of the Billboard charts. He was deemed 'the best cellist in Utah' by KSFI FM100 and in 2004 he was nominated as the best studio musician of the year by the FCMA.

Four CD set. Reissuing the out of print, standalone show of the Dead's final performance of their Europe '72 Tour at the Lyceum Theatre in London on May 26, 1972. This is the Dead's last performance to feature vocals by founding front man Ron InchPigpenInch McKernan before his passing 9 months later. Fifty years ago, when Europe '72 was released, the third LP of the set included two sides of some of the finest, most uniquely beautiful music the Dead had ever played, and thankfully, recorded. The Truckin', Epilogue, Prelude, and Morning Dew knocked everyone's socks off. Decades later, when tape traders were able to hear the entirety of the final show of the Europe '72 tour, not only were they greeted with this spectacular 40+minutes of music, but what is widely considered one of the best complete shows the Dead performed in their 30 year touring career. With Playing In The Band clocking in at more than 17 minutes, by far the longest version of this improvisational masterpieceby this point and ending their first set with the traditional second set closing Not Fade Away Goin ' Down The Road Feeling Bad Not Fade Away, the Dead signaled throughout this show that they wanted to leave everything on the stage. They clearly weren't out of gas and wanted this tour to keep rolling. If there was one show that encapsulates the entirety of the excellence of the Europe '72 tour, it's this one. Pigpen would sing a few songs this night, the final show at which Pigpen sang, as he left the band a few weeks later.
