    Got the CD a few weeks ago but this is only my second listen.
    Has acoustic and electric sets, but both fit on a single CD.
    So, a short show also.

    In praise of short shows

    That's a good point - I also think that some of the shorter shows are great. The shows that brought this to my mind were the two sets played on 11/2/69 supporting Janis Joplin. Which, incidentally, sound great on this new vinyl release. Most of the shows in 1968 were shorter too, and the energy level on those goes through the roof.
    The point is also made in the Taping Compendium that Fall 1973 shows gained focus by shortening the length from the vast summer shows of that year. Though they are still great too, of course.

    July '78 And Short Shows

    The funny thing is we all think of them playing long extended sets but the short shows seem to concentrate their minds! Think Dick's 33 where they were told by Bill Graham to keep each set to an hour and July 12th '87 where they were on before Dylan joined them

    July '78 Box

    Just exactly perfect both in its music and the box aesthetic. Every show has the magic. The middle show from Omaha really captured my fancy a good while back in no small part due to Oro Thing 1's Oroboros Tale in which he meets Jerry after Madtown 2/3 (my first show) suggesting the band return to NE and what do you know 5 months later, almost to the day, they're playing Omaha complete with an indoor waterfall!

    so 7/5 spinning - np Estimated > Eyes!!

    edit - that was awesome!

    That St. Paul show was the surprise sleeper in there. And Willie's picnic at Arrowhead is a rip-roarer too for a short one. But you know which one is my favorite. Enjoy!
    Cheers

    Starting with something light today. The Big Chill soundtrack. Got Motown?

    Onward with Love Over Gold, Dire Straits. I have a lot of cassette tapes but this is the only Denon brand tape I own, an HD6 (type ll) and it sounds amazing. Telegraph Road never sounded better. Easily rivals any Maxell or TDK that isn't metal. So glad I got a restored high end '80s tape deck again in the rack. What a difference.

    RFK Box.
    Now that’s a Box that will fit on a shelf.
    But the sweet spot for Box size is as many people have previously said: June 76, Spring 77, July 78.
    Just the right size and just the right number of shows.

    Not that I’m not hoping for Boxomoxoa this year.

    Also drinking a cup of super dark roast Columbian Supremo.
    Roasted the beans a week ago.

    Just recently procured a July 1978 box. Nice to have all these shows. Guess I'll keep my stand alone Red Rocks.
    Currently on the Omaha show. Should have just enough time to finish the show before the TN-AR game.
    Y'all have a great day!

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!).
