Grateful Dead

Longer Playing in the Bands than in spring for one.

Doc, bummer you missed the 28th.

When people are brought to their first show by someone with more experience they should be informed that the next night will be a different set list, so come again.
Different situation if each show is in a different city though.

My second show was 7-17-89, I didn’t know that I should go to all 3 nights. Of course, I didn’t have the funds for a 3-night run, and I had a job that I was expected to show up at.
Then made it to 7-21,22-90 but didn’t buy tix for the 3rd night due to the job, but then I had to call in sick anyway on 7-23 from a pay phone at a rest area on I-55. We left the campground late and I forgot to factor in that I was in a different time zone and was going to lose an hour getting back to my time zone.

3/22/73

My virgin listen

:)))

Splendid stuff

That Summer 85 bunch of shows

GREAT IDEA FOR A BOX SET

Lost my shit in Hershey!
Another you really really had to be at….

Yasss. How I dearly love the 6/28/85 show. And I appreciate and value the reports from folks like Uncle Tripel who were there! *edit* -- I meant to mention you as well Oro :) and of course Doc mentioned it recently too. Y'all are the best, ty for taking the time to share your memories with those of us who couldn't be there

And that 9/21/72 show is incredible. I was also unaware... I've said elsewhere that it was just a random idiosyncrasy of my tape collection back in the day, but the latter half of '72 was simply unrepresented. I had some Europe material of course, and I had 8/21 and 8/24 from BCT and of course Veneta, but then nothing at all until Maples Pavilion to kick off '73. So all of that amazing Fall and Winter Tour was unknown to me until fairly recently. When I first heard the PITB from Houston in Nov '72 I thought my headphones were going to catch fire.

The silver lining: I am still working my way through this INCREDIBLY fruitful and musical period in GD history, most shows being heard for the 1st time. What a treat. Someone - was it you as well, Doc? - mentioned Dave's 46 recently, and I'm about to give that one only the second full listen since I got it. Wonders await...

today is JUNE 28th and it will be HERSHEY 1985...
..."with our highly trained equipment crew, equipment crew, equipment crew"

I remember the rain leaking through the blue tarp that covered the top of the stage onto Kreutzmann's cymbals, and each time he hit it he closed his eyes to avoid the rainwater from splashing into his face.

I remember Garcia dressed in his blue sportcoat/blazer and he too watch as the rainwater was dripping down onto his left shoulder during the 1st set with a look of WTH is this, (hence he sings "I feel the rain, and I taste the rain")

Rockin' the headphones after this next cup of coffee and will be smilin' while cutting the yard for the next 2 hours (Birdsong > Comes A Time > Deal anyone?).

everyone enjoy your weekend!

Peace for All!

Morning rockers! And happy Friday!!

Right now I'm listening to the Dark Star from September 21 1972. I was completely unaware of this show until its releases as Dicks 36.

Very solid, even gargantuan show. New and old, rock and roll, jams, cowboy songs, Dark Star, Not Fade Away..........

Absolutely worth a listen!!!!

If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.....

Rock on, enjoy your weekend!!!

Doc
My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence......

np Seastones

2/23/93 near future

Before
7/21/74 now…good show, ok Aud.

The Police - February 1979 - today it's known as University of Hertfordshire but back then it was still Hatfield Poly. Great show, there's video as well (believe BBC? Whatever, it's good stuff)
