Nice

Sing Out is a great Owsley release, but all the Owsley releases are worth picking up. I was at Sing Out it was a cool show. Kate Wolf was a favorite of mine, I used to go see her play all the time here in the Bay Area.

Last night.
I’ve heard it before but not sit down listen.
Though didn’t get the best listen last night due to aaaa, “extra curricular” activities/noise in the world.
But it’s an interesting show that you just kind want for it to get released, especially because ya know…AND, it’s Pinkus first show, etc
But I’m not sure it’s good enough, orrrr, tight enough for a Dave’s.
Specifically, the beginning of the second set. Yeah it’s fun sneaking TOG in between S/F but the transitions are a bit sloppy etc, enough, along with other sorta normal what I call Cali laid back looseness lol to perhaps keep it getting “Daved”
As we know, he likes to try and pick the best representation or presentation of the band/music on a specific tour etc, and not necessarily what some might consider “the best show” of the tour.
BUT!
After this Reno show getting out, and as Jim often suggests, sometimes these kind of shows work well to round out box sets, so I could see it as part of a Greek box! Curious what others think of this show?
Think I need a redo, and gonna hit the rest of the 84 summer Cali shows asap.
Onward!

Don’t lend yer hand, to raise no flag, atop no ship of fools!

8/10/91 - a five-star-give-it-ten-if-i-could favorite from the tape days back in the mid 90s. Awesome that it got released in that box - beautiful sound and show. Shout out to Proudfoot for mentioning that box and steering me here.

Let's Get Together (just played) and now the jaybirds calling on Like a River

Fell in love with Kate's voice and music back in late '80s. Great to have this live set as part of a SEVA benefit concert that includes other favorite musicians of mine (thank you Bear).

6/23/74 I believe
PROPER!

head across the pond today...1981-10-16 OOPS @ melkweg club Amsterdam NL
I can hear Garcia saying to Weir thru the thick cloud of hash smoke,
"Hey Weir, we don't have our guitars" and Weir says, "No worries Jer, we'll just rent some" lol

everyone enjoy your weekend, if you can

Peace for All!

Sitting in Limbo (Voodoonola2 video source) (with the Senns)

The 9-25-76 show.
Just exactly perfect.
Was using it to A/B test two CD players and the music never stopped.
Oddly the mid 90s CD changer sounds better in the bigger better newer system, and the newer (4 years old) cheaper player sounds better in the 70s college era system now in the bedroom. Didn't expect that.
Cheers
