    2/11/69 on 180gm vinyl

    Not literally what I am listening to right now - that music you can hear in the background is volume 28 Complete Motown Singles Vol 6- 1966. If you have never heard "One More Heartache" by Marvin Gaye - well, I don't know what to think. Brilliant record.

    30 minutes ago I finished the brand new vinyl copy of 2/11/69, which is really good. A great sound - the double drum and bass sounds really powerful - as does Jerry's guitar playing. The acoustic guitars sound crisp and clear too. Highly recommended. As for the actual show - shows to be more accurate as these are basically 2 support slots in anticipation of Janis Joplin coming on. The first show sounds a bit like The Dead with a safety catch on - great stuff, but a bit clipped - certainly compared to 2/27/69 - 3/2/69 shows. During St Stephen, the safety catch seems to have fallen off and it explodes. So much so that, despite winding down with the "We Bid You Good night" encore they come back and do another one. The intro to Cosmic Charlie could slice the top of your head off. Pity it cuts after a minute or two..but no matter. A great snapshot of The Dead playing two concise sets, in superb sound during a ground breaking year. I'm really glad I got this one.

    Another vote for 5/19/77

    Glad Bluecrow's post got others to play 5/19/77. To this day it remains a "desert island" tape for me. If I'm having a bad day I can just pop in Set I, and that Promised Land + Sugaree one-two will set me straight. And there is just something about the flow of Set II that really works for me.

    There aren't that many shows from 1977 that I am always in the mood to hear *from start to end.* 2/26, 3/20, and 10/2 all come to mind. And of course 5/19... that 2nd night at the Fox just seems to have a special vibe. For me, anyway.

    On BC's recommendation doing disc 3 of the 5-19-77 Fox Theater to get going on this rainy morning. Wife is out shopping and no one will complain if I turn it up a bit. Checkers the cat does twitch his ears sometimes when Donna does her Playin' thing.
    Cheers

    ‘I Kept These Old Blues’ - Muireann Bradley. Saw this mentioned in an article in the latest Mojo magazine. As she says in the article you can hear her guitar playing improve as the album progresses. The album was released in late 2023 and had been recorded over the past three years, the tracks are in chronological order.

    It’s the anniversary.

    DP 9, released in 1997.
    Sounded great in 1997, but can’t compare to the sound quality we’re getting now.
    And then Plangent makes it even better.
    Looking forward to the April ‘78 Box.

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!).
