Hmmm, sorta lost with all the fresh hoopla today!
Aaaa, let’s see, did the 17 yesterday. Definitely good but maybe they’ve peaked at Alpine and Cal X? Let’s find out, forward, never straight!
On 18 now. More good but maybe not RJ summer 89 dead?
Lots of distractions today so…? Definitely good, guess just how good? ; )

EDIT: upon Futhur review…taint nothin wrong wif dis one!
Maybe slightly relaxed, in a good way, but mos def another fine 89!
Maybe a bit of a creeper? Steady as she goes capin, JG slowly builds things up with some fine renditions!
Ok, try and get 8/19/89 in before TOO arrives, hopefully with 51!
Onward!

Summer 82, nice! while yer down there ; ), check out the hot second set from Kansas and St Louie show, and…?
Good sheet Mon!
If my memory is correct, that KC Women Are was my first tape introduction…

Edit: 8/19/89: another good ? It’s another of the Cali laid back shows…meaning, the playing is really good, but there’s a looseness or, relaxed atmosphere?
I’ve always had a hard time describing..if you say laid back people think it’s too mellow etc. but these shows are not, their good, but, maybe don’t burn quite as bright as some of the previous outings of the summer? Ha, how’s that for an answer lol. Ok, onto Shoreline…mañana

I've been listening to a ton of 1985 shows lately, so I'm taking a break with 7-19-89 as some commenters here recently said they were digging. I'm up to Mama Tried right now and definitely a very strong start, especially the Sugaree...

Well I've wandered off the beaten track from Aprils 1971 and 1978

But I really do enjoy Summer '82 and today's the anniversary of 7/31/82 - included in 30 Trips. I missed that box set, but I picked this one up back when people were parting out 30 trips shows on eBay for $30-$35. I think I've only spun it once or twice, so it felt right to dust if off.

Afterwards I intend to get down 'n dusty with 8/1/82 Oklahoma City. I had a spectacular low-gen copy of this one thanks to a tape tree I was part of circa '90 or '91. I haven't heard it in decades but I remember it being a good one.

I’ve heard these, once, think some on u toob?
But not in order etc.

4&5 yesterday.
4 is awesome!
5 first time I didn’t feel it? Much better this time, fun show!
6 rollin as we speaker. Great triple opener! So far sounds like a good one…

17 later…

Edit: out of last 7 summer 89 shows I’ve heard, (7/15-8/6) I’d say 7/19 was the dog in the pile. Not terrible, but not great. But the other five, boo yah!

Right now? After flaming finance man via pm, I'm catching up with April 4, 1971. Yes, my way back machine done got broke and I'm stuck in April 1971...........

Rock on,

Doc
If we weren't all crazy, we'd just go insane.....

This one's been a regular part of my wake and bake routine for a long time.

51 should arrive by lunch time.

Peace

Playing now.
I always thought it was the weaker of the 3, but I could be biased since 7-17 was my second show and I got it on VHS when Downhill From Here came out and played it extensively. Eventually got the DVD, and am now waiting for all 3 nights to come out on Blu-ray.
Note: still a terrible decision to replace the end of 17th set 1 with end of 19th set 1. Unless there’s a legit reason like the video doesn’t exist.

I got 7-19 set 2 on VHS at the end of the 90’s. It was a few generations and grainy, but I played that a lot too.

7-18 sounds pretty good tonight though.

So, in conclusion, yes Dave, I’m (im)patiently waiting for all 3 nights to be released on Blu-ray.

Dave's 51 disc one

Yeah, it’s crazy how much what we’re thinking/doing etc can effect the show we’re listening to…

I’ve been back and forth with parts of this for years, but this time I did em in order etc and think I’ve got a good handle now lol.
Onto Cal X today…
