The gift of this band is that they actually listen to one another. They are incredibly tight. The title cut is so gut level, it still brings rising anger at injustice, like Dylan's Hurricane or Creedence's Fortunate Son. They channeled deep emotion into intense music, much like the Doors. The antiwar rage gives me chills. Rowan's poetry has always been exquisite. The Steve Miller Band stole the line "you wake up in the dark and know you're blind". There has never been anything like Grisman's mandocello in a rock band, and it is fluid. "All Winter Long" and "Mad Lydia's Waltz" are haunting. Sanctuary From the Law really rocks, with the rage of someone banging on a church door to keep from getting arrested because he won't kill. This may be a little dated, but it has worn far better than the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and most others from the era. Each individual is very talented, but the sum of the parts is far, far more. These guys had incredible instincts. They are truly musical, from quiet as a whisper to heart pounding. "Home to You" has one of the best opening lines, "It's tired, and I'm getting late. I try to speak, but I can't relate". Lovely country, the likes of which I've never heard since. Here's a tip. The first Earth Opera, which it does not rock as hard, is a rare, delicate beauty...absolutely unique. How I have missed these old friends. There is no one like them, and they are truly special. These guys listened to everyone, and imitated no one. I've seen the best the world has to offer, from the old Tea Party concerts, to Woodstock, Festival of Life, and more great music than a human will likely hear in a lifetime, in many genres. These guys really hit the sweet spot. They captured life, and made art and music. ... show more

One of the best albums of that era it has everything a strong message so many haunting themes and a cross mixture of Blue Grass, folk and Jazz One of my very favourite albums, way better than the first album. Just not long enough.

    • Doesn't have the magic it had years ago
I was excited to rediscover this album. But frankly, the years have not been kind to it. The title song remains strong, but the rest have faded to filler.

I still have this album and just pulled it out...still in pretty good condition despite years of playing. Its an interesting album, produced during a very heavy period of our country's history. Side A is light in mood and scope...enjoyable songs that are easy to listen to. Side B, with its title song, is much heavier and captures the angst and misery of the Vietnam war. "And call out the border guard...the kingdom is crumbling. The king is in the counting house, laughing and stumbling..." Sounds familiar... On a side note, what I find really interesting is the personnel, consisting, in part, of Peter Rowan (who, in the early 60's, played with Bill Monroe, father of Bluegrass) and remains an iconic Bluegrass figure and David Grisman, father of Dawg music who eventually went on to form the David Grisman Quintet with the likes of Tony Rice, Darrol Anger, Todd Phillips and Mike Marshall, a band which pretty much redefined acoustic music in the 70's) Amazing! ... show more

    • A Somewhat Uneven Follow-Up
Originally I thought that "The Great American Eagle Tragedy" was clearly the best of the two albums Earth Opera managed to release in 1968-69. After having re-listened to both albums on the 2 on 1 CD re-release, I now probably am more inclined to think that the first album as a whole is the strongest of the two. Or at least state that the two album each have their strengths and weaknesses. The debut album is perhaps the most exciting, but is lacking the "great" songs. On "The Great American Eagle Tragedy" on the other hand you have the very beautiful "Home to You", and the equally fine "All Winter Long", which like Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street" is characterized by a great and memorable saxophone theme. "Alfie Finney," written by Paul Dillon is a fine song which, however, seems a bit misplaced and perhaps helps to disturb the overall mood of the album. The long title track in its time worked as a relevant and meaningful commentary on America's war in Vietnam; today the seems a bit longwinded even though the core of the song is pretty strong. The bonus track "After You" is a welcome and solid addition. ... show more

    • Apocalypse then
The title song is much more than a late 60's college radio classic. What Peter Rowan and Dave Grisman did on this anti war song cannot effectivly be described in words. It is powerful, heart pounding and hand sweatingly visceral. To listen to it is to feel the anger at the government and the frustration of knowing that the madness was continuing despite all efforts to stop it. And beyond belief was that while President Nixon was in the final stages of his own personal and political melt down he continued to send thousands of America's children to Viet Nam to die in an unnecessary war. He did all this while ignoring the voice of the majority of the people. Rowan and his group must have collapsed after recording it. Ignoring parallels with the present administration and Iraq is impossible. Listen to it and weep. ... show more
