Grateful Dead

no errers today.

And BTW that Jam is great

Also... you need to be logged in when guessing. You get much more streamlined answering options that way. "City, State, Venue" are all on one drop down that way. And you are not prompted to enter your first and last name. Just noticed this now. I must have restarted my machine and got logged out over the past 24 hours. I looked at the answering options and was scratching my head... hmmm... Why do they have so many entry fields today to try to guess the answer??? Oh yeah... looked at the upper right corner and bingo, no avatar pic. Aha... I am logged out. I logged in, refreshed and the entry form at bottom was back to good ol streamlined version.

So many great shows at this venue. Both the overall band performance and sound quality are high up there on many tapes I have heard from this particular place.

Love that segment right at the beginning of today's offering w/the low low notes. Then the part after the 1st verse/chorus of Other One. Some interesting guitar notes going on there.

BTW - do not worry about the "spelling" or multiple venue names for the same place and what is on a ticket stub or what is on some website on the searches etc etc.... We have seen over the years that it does not matter what one chooses if there is any ambiguity. We have seen the same venue with slightly different naming come up on the revealed answer the next day. One year or one day the answer might show as "xxxx spelling venue with extra word" and... a different contest day or year the answer shows the venue name differently for the same place. What the website states here on the revealed answer the next day does NOT mean that one spelling or variant of a venue's name is "correct" or "incorrect". If you chose one variant and the answer came up differently with some other person's name as the winner it does not mean that you chose incorrectly. It only means that the "magic random ping pong ball picker" chose that other person's name and not yours. As long as you get the city/state/date and one of the variants of a confusing name of the correct venue then... you just might win for the day. We have seen this play out time and time again.

05-23-82 Greek Theater reminded me of 05-15-83 Greek Theater, which reminded me of John Cippolina of Quicksilver Messenger Service who joined GOGD for 'Not Fade Away' to end the 2nd Set. I remember a guy selling posters of the 83 Greek Show from his trunk of his car in the lot possibly in '84, which has Bobby with his index finger in the air, John Cippolina on stage to the left of Jerry, and Jerry with his head tilted to the right, with Phil far stage right, and Brent far stage left, and the drummers are both easily seen: a masterful photo. There is also a mic with a foam cover to the left of the photo. If you search images for this said show you'll see what I'm writing about. I saw Cippolina play in Portland, OR at The Starry Night on 07-14-83 with The Dinosaurs, including Barry Melton, Robert Hunter, Peter Albin, Spencer Dryden, and guests: Jim Page, and Novato Frank Bonomolo. That night was so cool, until I saw Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs playing the Thunder Machine on stage during Space of the 05-08-84 show at Silva Hall, The Hult Center, Eugene, OR, which was just a tad cooler IMHO. The GOGD have a way of playing on another level when there has been a death in the family, and Jed Kesey had passed away in January of '84 when the University of Oregon Wrestling Team's van lost control on an icy road in southeastern Washington. In knew those roads well, as I was a college alpine ski racer/coach competing and traveling in the PNW from '82-'87, and I remember hearing the news of Jed on TV. Lucky we can all be here now. We have so much to be thankful for in the grand scheme of life.
