    That's a great film of a Dead show - for me the best one out there. "China Cat-Rider" is the highlight of the film - although I have read that some find it a bit sexist.... with the camera lingering on naked women instead of the band. It doesn't come across that way to me - but then I ain't a woman.
    "Playing", "Bird Song" and "Dark Star" are also among the best versions ever, I would say. I still don't like the way Dark Star goes into El Paso, though.

    Oroborous,
    I'll try to remember to sit down and type some notes on that '90 MSG run next week when I'm on vacation.

    I simply love the entire run

    Things that stay in my memory from my recent listenings are

    9 14 The Weight to open 2nd set

    9 16 Hes Gone > end of show
    9 18 second set
    9 19
    9 20 Drums > end of show

    Its hard to believe they could play so well after losing Brent 46 days earlier, as I went on about a while back

    Ok twist my arm, but not hard lol
    Hey, these floors aren’t gonna clean themselves ; )

    Edit: just finished the fine MSG 90 run, Berry interesting.
    Lots of cool jams, and JG is obviously digging Bruce etc, so the energy is big!
    Perhaps a bit much from so many folks trying to go hard?
    Only criticisms: personally sometimes don’t like so many folks as it gets a bit sonically crowded, think they dialed that in eventually, and hey, under the circumstances it’s understandable here.
    Didn’t always like the mix, especially Vince OCCASIONALLY too loud, but you’d think that’s not his fault…I.e., Dicks from the 16…?

    TN John, noticed you were at these fine shows, would love to hear your thoughts and/or any good stories! Do you have a fave?

    And PF, thoughts/Fav?

    Interesting. I used to love to save a good listen for nighttime, or at least later in the day when it was time to pa teh…if I did that now I’d fall asleep before the first set was over! Something about light versus dark?
    BITD the idea of loud in the AM was unthinkable, but now as soon as I get home from my AM walk, the jute box gets fired up.
    I’m not big on cans etc, so I just turn it up enough that I can hear it everywhere lol. Plus, I have four zones: Main stereo, Living/Kitchen, garage, and Theatre.
    Keep meaning to get a speaker in 2 baths, but I’m getting old and lazy lol.
    So if TOO is home, I can usually find a zone where it won’t bother her too much, or, I can fire em all up!
    I’m with uncle T, nothing makes the routine manageable like strong coffee, a big bong rip, and a good Dead show!
    BUT!
    New releases always get a proper virginal sit down on the “stereo”, early, with coffee and before the weed takes over lol
    BUT!!!
    Doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there ; )
    Onward!

    Edit: when I was working I’d most often be in some huge empty mansion with many zones all over, so I’d just fire up a show and hear it everywhere!
    Bit awkward when on occasion some super weird end of the world space, Dark Star, TOO etc be blastin and a property manager would show up unexpectedly lol.

Currently rewatching Couch Tour of the Austin show. Charlotte, Austin, how lucky you were!! Some great shows this tour. Never was in a position to follow the band thru tours. Had to pick my shows. The couch Tour is pretty great, especially for an old guy. Hope this isn’t wrong. Not trying to promote or advertise them, but thrilled to see every show of a tour, so conveniently.

AOXOMOXOA 50th anniversary disc 1- 1969 original mix

This entire production is first class, from the 3D cover (a la rolling stones satanic majesty) which I certainly would have appreciated staring at back in the day, it is truly wonderous.
The sound is perfect, the live stuff sounds better than ever, but really should use the original shows complete, in the order that the Dead created them.

Listening to Good morning little schoolgirl by the Dead and comparing it to Ten Year After version...well, what to say, as much as I dig Alvin Lee (RIP), I MUST say that Jerry's version has more soul to it. Great cover by the Dead (off their debut album!).
