Grateful Dead

Eugene Oregon 1/22/78 - a great record ! Or records, I should say. Many great versions of songs - one that isn't often recommended is Samson and Delilah. This one will put some dirt in your eye. Kicking.

Took a while - finally locked in on heart of DaP 11 based on the Taper's Section - He's Gone. Trucking > Other One > Brokedown Palace. Sugar Magnolia.

As I am want to say - OMFG!! The standalone He's Gone!! That freaking Other One!! Into Brokedown??!! with an encore of Unle Johns Johnny B Goode. WOWOWZA

DiP 1 vinyl finally gets to stretch its legs. Perfect pressing so far. No pops, clicks, or wobbles. Already finding stage comments and tunings not in the original CD. I'll have to do an A/B comparison between the CD taken from digital and this new pressing taken direct from the orig. tapes. I doubt if I'll be able to hear much difference. Just curious.
BC - DaP 11, oh that's where that's from. Hadn't looked that one up yet. A very fine cut in Taper's this week. I'm not sure I've heard a more interesting jam with Keith driving the jazz! So good.
Cheers

Both BC and Doc have recommended these, and the 18 I only recently received a copy, so I’ll hit it again, the 10 I’ve heard previously via Doc…

Thanks to Doc & Company for 1970 intel!

I’ve actually heard about 35-40 1970 shows previously, including the official stuff, a few from BC, and many from Doc and POTD etc.
But thanks to y’all I’ll add these to my list along with some other bits I’ve marked down…Not going to try for all at this juncture, but hope to put a dent in the more notable shows from this year…for now! Lol

2-4, 2-6, 3-21a&b, 4-25, 5-14, 6-12&13?, 6-24&25, 6/27-7/3?, 9/17, 18, 19, 20, 10-4, 11-5>8, 11-16, 11-20, 12-23, 12-26…

So hoping for another big grateful year: kick the tires on 1970, all of 85 I’ve not heard, the half dozen or so left from1990, maybe some fall 80 and dip my toe into 1995, and rehash 1975.
Onward!

Edit: hey, move that white Corvair lol

Dbl Edit: WTH, it’s early, these have been short…1/23/70!
16th was sweet, and good recording. 17 starts out sounding great but ends up being inconsistent throughout. Decent show though. 18th…? Like much of 70, some shines, some not so good, musically inconsistent too I guess…
Don’t get me wrong, when they do shine, ya need welders googles!

Taking the hints from the Tapers Section.

Did somebody say 1970?????

Try these:
9/19/70
11/16/70 a little uneven but the highs are mighty high
5/1/70
5/6/70

Enjoy,

Doc
We die only once, and for such a long time......

Those were the days my friend!
We probably would of thought stinking like weed would make us more interesting to the fairer sex…idiots lol

We had exchanged smiles in the chow line at the dorm before but I'm sure I was too shy to go further even after the recognition at Red Rocks. And I was not in classes by summer 1978. Had one frosh class in '75-'76 with her IIRC. I think she was from Fountain, near Colo. Spgs. The dorm had a schedule for meals that involved different wings coming at set times to avoid a crush. We had a regular bong session daily M-F that centered around watching Star Trek at 4PM while doing endless bongs playing Spades or Hearts and then we would go a little earlier than our required time to catch her and her wing-girls in line. Probably said wow these guys reek of Columbian!
Cheers

And glad to enjoy it…I can picture the whole thing lol
So did you talk to her later on now that you had something in common?

Ok, onto 1970. Thanks BC think I had those and something else marked as POTD but I was outta round to it’s at the time.
Gonna start with 1/2&3/70 but will definitely check those out soon!
Tanks BC!…and ISTSHOW fer da mammeries yuck, yuck…sorry, couldn’t resist.

Edit: now if we knew about the “girl with lobotomy eyes” he dedicated an encore to, maybe a us Bluzz, but can’t remember show off top of my pointy head?

Glad I could shed some light on that. I think I've told it before but it has got to be my best GD show story and one I will never forget! Did I mention the Daisy Mae cut-offs she had on?
Cheers

Finishing up 10-29-77 Dekalb. Very nice NFA in there!
