Grateful Dead

Not in 94, right? Re the organization of the 30 days, my impression was that while Dave Lemieux was behind it, maybe he’s got more going on and delegates the actual function of the event. He seems too detail oriented to allow it to be shoddily run, but also probably pretty busy with his others projects

Who calls it the FELT FORUM? Maybe for Ali/Frazier in 1970, but… I was expecting a possible issue with the Kaiser show a a few days back, but I’m totally thrown for a loop by this one

I have to go to work right now, but when I get home, I assume I am going to spend a LONG time tracking this Casey Jones down. The era is obvious, but gosh, they played it a lot!

The Theater at MSG was known as the Felt Forum until 1989, holds between 2000 to 5000 people, and is located below the MSG main arena. I was at these shows in ‘94. They were held in the MSG main arena, same arena where the Knicks play, not in the Felt Forum.

Do I focus on yesterdays "Felt" vs "MSG" proper or start the shifting through of the many Casey Jones' of the era. I might have heard the noodlings of the next song which would help in the process but I can't really be sure of it.
Yesterday was the curve ball we should expect when it seems all to easy but I did find that the LAST show in the FELT was in 89, then the name was changed to The Paramount Theater so the Felt seems to be the wrong answer whether the Boys played the Main MSG or the smaller venue.
Onward and upward.
TGIF

I am having to tell myself they selected out of all 10/19/94 MSG answers, because as others have pointed out - this show was not played at the Felt Forum. It seems odd that dozens of us idiots would have to correct the Holy Lemiuex on that.

Looks like our first one of the year. There's usually one or two every 30 DoD.
For Day 1 this year, that venue is known by various names in CLE.

I've been in despair for the last few days, but while listening to 11/08/70 this morning, I noticed that the cloud had lifted. All thanks to "Ripple."

Give it a try if you're feeling low.

Thanks again for the daily dose but why were the first four days WAV files and the subsequent ones mp3?

More like Casey Jonesing lol my goodness what a search…

Re: venue…take a step back

Re: file type ….take another step back

Never trust a prankster!

Geez. There are so many from this era, and many that are missing from the internet. And so many bad audience recordings. The place of the most promising clue gets drowned out by the audience, even on some of the board recordings. Has anyone found it?

Felt Forum 1994, lol

Not giving up yet but I need a break. Brain fuzzy from dozens of tries over 2+ hours. I think I'm in the right year or so but I've resorted to comparing the acapella ending. As some have surmised, I think this may be a trickster one. Good luck to all.
Cheers

Has anyone found it? i've been going for for 2.5 hours and i'm an old hand at 30 days but i'm getting tired! Trying not to break protocol here, but to me there are three obvious years. the first 2/3 of the first year they had a few different chords to open. the middle year is plagued with missing files on relisten and archive. the last year they sound too polished. If you found it, please give us a clever, hopefully not too obvious, but helpful, clue. Can anyone thread that needle?

Judge dread - sometimes we just have to look within ourselves for the uncirculated items. Where would they be? It is possible!!!

The comments below in the answer to yesterday even say.... "This duo of songs is from the final Grateful Dead performance at Madison Square Garden."
Felt Forum is fake news....

Gonna have to throw in the towel on this one, for the first time ever. I have listened to more than 100 versions and can’t seem to find it. I feel like I’ve got it nailed down to a pretty specific window of time, but nothing seems to match.

I just give up!

I think I'm right. The key was listening to how Jerry rolled into the first solo. After a short period of time it had that halting, chunky, choppy pause before he came in.

Cause I don't have one. Been searching among the potential candidates, but I got nothing.

Based on the available information, I have narrowed the possible list down to about seven shows. I have a theory about which one it is and if I can't find out anything more I'm going to take a stab in the dark and see what happens.

Got it. My clue is you have to go to the guitar solo. Unique to it's time period. That helps narrow it down....

I have the year and the month in mind, given that this version lacks an instrument heard in versions before, and that the Jerry guitar solo at the beginning of the instrumental break disappeared by the following month. However, none of the solos are just exactly perfect (focusing on the riff when the instrumental version of the chorus starts and haven’t had that a-ha! moment).

I'm stumped too. Proper Deadhead deduction leads me to a specific period in time when the guitar solo hadn't quite been codified. There are a couple of close calls in the archive, but nothing that really clicks. I too will be making a guess tonight.

I think that was the most brutal search in all 15 years of 30 Days of Dead. But I found it. It is not in the traditional places we look. But it is out there. And it syncs up perfectly. If you have a hunch, follow that lead and see where it takes you. I'm whipped!

yep this one kicked my a** too! I'm cross-eyed - been trying to find this one all day. I'm sure it'll make sense tomorrow but even with the hints I've struck out. That solo is only around for a few weeks - wtf hahaha

It's been fun listening to the song evolve over time, but I need to go to sleep. Early start tomorrow. Best of luck to y'all.

The universe works in strange ways...
Woke up this morning singing Casey Jones in my head, had breakfast, went out for a long walk, checked 30Dod and - whoa!
Unfortunately, my connection with the universe did not extend to any particular insight as to the source of this fine version. So I'm taking a flyer - going with the time period, similar versions, and my gut.
Maybe tomorrow those sages who found it can let the rest of us mere mortals on to their secret.
Now, where's that Lady in Red?...

My head has been circulating for the past few hours looking for this rare track.......without success. We're all winners today for this grate and special gift David has bestowed upon us. "Ha Ha" and "WooHoo" indeed!
