Grateful Dead

"Seems like I've been here before,
Fuzzy then and still so obscure, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye.
And I don't want to see anybody cry,
Meet me some mornin' in the sweet by and by, by and by, by and by."-Born Crossed-Eyed
30 DoD released songs from today's show, as well as the day before, in past editions. Reminds me of my favorite clue in the comments ever, "Asian Girl Band", though don't remember who wrote it.

I got a late start this year, missing the first several days. Hats off to Dave and crew for picking some great selections this year. As others have mentioned, the three song arrangement has really cut down on my search time. I haven't even pulled out DeadBase yet! But the best part about the trio set up is that we are getting so much more music! This is awesome!

This was a fun cassette tape back in the day. Overshadowed a bit by other tapes we listened to... but a good example of what they were doing right about then. I too went over and listened to most of the entire show after listening and solving today's three-fer. There is a nice matrix out there.

This is about the time I got on The Bus. I remember doing concrete work and this hippie looking heavyset guy working with us. Every day he had his Sony Walkman on playing something, no-one knew who though? Till one day he lent me a listen. The jam was awesome and the first time I heard The Other One. At the end of the day, he walked up to me and asked if I knew who the band was (answering no) he told me The Grateful Dead. Then he asked if I had a tape deck, my response who doesn't so what's he do? Opens up the Walkman and hands me that tape, give it a full listen he says. A rewind to the beginning and The Race Is On, a song my parents listened to every weekend (country style). I knew every lyric and soon was convinced The Grateful Dead had become my new favorite band. The next day handing it back to him he asked what do you think? I remember saying they are so good I hope you don't mind that I recorded a copy for myself. (No clue here) That show was from 05-01-1970 Alfred State College, just south of my town. Then the following day he pulls into work with a dozen different complete shows, walks up to me and says have fun! I know He's Gone now, and God Rest His Soul because I know The Grateful Dead did.

Got some errands to run, but took a quick listen to some other tracks from this show. This is another one that I'll revisit.
