    Previously, Only heard this one once, thought it was good but overshadowed by the 11, 15 and 16th…let’s see after proper sit down if it matches the hype…

    Think 4/11 was tops so far, but 4/6 seemed to stand out too. These shows are sneaky good. Meaning sometimes you have to wait for it. The dynamics are often impressive. Not freight train Dead like you might expect from this period, but often nice subtle build ups/peaks. You can tell their having fun, getting loose and digging the smaller venues.
    Really tasty when their all in sync etc, (sometimes the looseness is a tad much) and 4/11 is a good example of being synced up!
    And DG has been improving nicely as the tour has progressed and has some real moments here.
    That Sunrise is one of the most powerful I’ve heard, and some songs she’s carrying the lead vocals. Meaning on shared vocals, she is often the strongest most consistent, which allows J &B more latitude.
    And the sound is great on all so far, but I too will compare with 37, which I recall is the benchmark of this tour…

    I do understand 4winds “cymbal” comments. Don’t have torrents to compare, but they aren’t prevalently splashing all over so ?…
    It doesn’t seem like an issue to me, and probably wouldn’t notice it if I wasn’t trying to…guessing mastering, probably added some shimmer to the torrents versus some noise reduction, tape restoration, age etc, or, perhaps artifacts from different machines used to record copies from the masters, versus Bettys reel decks and masters…

    4 11 78

    When i first heard it back in later 80s I was amazed at the post drumz sequence. I didnt know they had done it.

    Nowadays its like "cool"
    Back then it was like "wow!"

    At the moment
    4 14 78 looks Like Rain (never one of my favorites)

    Due to holiday no need to go to work so plenny o' GD

    Yay!

    I’m going in order and will do 4-15 next to see (hear) how it compares to the Box.

    I like 4-10 and 11 a lot, but they’re also burned into my synapses from having them on cassette and then CD-R.

    Hoping it’s as good as I recall…
    4/10 was not, in fact, bit of a dog, perhaps worst so far?
    Not a bad show, just more inconsistent and several notable flubberies etc…
    Let’s find out ; )
    Onward!

    Cheers

    Not a sports fan at all, will watch super bowl and world series with group, but really don't care.

    I felt sorry for Pete Rose, I feel I heard a story about wife abusers being allowed into the hall of fame, but not Pete?

    On another note, I have a new favorite song. Maybe a bunch of you have heard of him, but I hadn't, Jelly Roll. He was on Saturday Night Live this weekend and did a tune called "Winning Streak". A search of "Jelly Roll - Winning Streak (Live on SNL)" will pull it up. It's a tune about a alcoholic going to his first AA meeting.

    One of the best refrain lines EVER

    I was so ashamed to be in this seat, til I met a man who was 20 years clean
    He said, 'Everybody here's felt the same defeat. Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak.'

    Check it out. Hope you find it as good as I do.

    And, no, I've never had an addiction or been to any sort of meeting.

    RIP Pete Rose

    A true legend

    He got screwed over

    Charlie Hustle

    Way back in 1975 I went to a Cubs game vs. the Reds...went down toward the field pregame

    Here is Johnny Bench Dave Concepcion and Pete Rose warming up

    That was cool to a 6th grader

    Still cool to me now

    He so much deserved to be in the Hall of Fame

a new, original song by Ozark Matt words and music copyright 2017 all rights reserved. Recorded 8.23.17. I came home in love and you were gone You found another one and moved on An eclipse, an ellipse, an Indian mound These orbits within orbits keep spinning me around These orbits within orbits keep spinning me around I won't hurt your feelings anymore I feel your reflection at the door You can come home, I am here for you We can share our dreams and start anew These cosmic forces keep tearing us apart Author's note: this song was conceived during a backcountry hiking trip to view the total solar eclipse on 8.21.17 and is dedicated to my wife whom I love eternally no matter what happens. She is the most beautiful person in the world and I think of her everyday with pure love.
