Grateful Dead 24 March 1968 Fountain Street Church 24 Fountain St., Northeast Grand Rapids, Michigan CANCELLED - DUE TO SNOWSTORM Nice poster - Pigpen with wings https://www.gdao.org/items/show/381218

I've missed so much in the past year. Been very busy trying to catch up that my internet provider has sent me a couple letters complaining about my data usage. p.s. Sorry to hear people are in between job's right now, that just really sucks.

The Grateful Dead played approximately 120 shows in 1968. Of those, only 42 shows (either whole or in part) circulate from the year. With two-thirds of the shows from 1968 lost, it is a melancholy task to list them all, but I thought I’d give it a try: this list will cover the shows and parts of shows we don’t have. Tapes that are incomplete and missing pieces of shows are listed. A few audience tapes survive from 1968; those are only listed here when they’re incomplete. I’ve also noted the few uncirculated tapes that are known to still be in the Vault. The Hartbeats shows and a couple other known Garcia jam sessions are included. Lost songs recalled from deadbase or other sources are listed [in brackets], and useful recollections of the shows are quoted when available. https://deadessays.blogspot.com/2014/09/missing-1968-shows.html

March 17, 1968http://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-17-1968 Carousel Ballroom San Francisco, California This is a fantastic show that, unfortunately, is not on Archive as it had not been in circulation before the Dead pulled it out of the Vault as volume six of their Download Series. There is some great music here, and I recommend giving it a listen if you get the chance. The Download Series Vol. 6 album is available in FLAC and ALAC on nugs.net for $14.99. 3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom - San Francisco, CA While working on the "Fillmore West 1969-The Complete Recordings" box set, we searched every nook and cranny of the vault for interesting contextual items for the release, as well as for material to include on the bonus CD offered with the box set and the 3-CD compilation. The greatest find amongst our many discoveries was this gem of a show, 3/17/68 at the Carousel Ballroom (the Carousel, of course, later became the Fillmore West). If you like Anthem of the Sun and Dick's Picks Vol. 22 (Lake Tahoe 1968), you will positively LOVE this new release. The sound quality is remarkable for its age, with a nice full mix; it has a song list that is exceptional even for this era of preposterously stunning song lists; and the performances match up with, and at times surpass, the much-lauded Tahoe '68 release.

The majority of the songs from set 1 could not be salvaged due to technical problems that were partly due to "sound experiments" conducted on the master tapes during the production of Anthem Of The Sun. That's It For The Other One through to Feedback is the complete second set. http://nugs.net/browse/music/5040/Grateful-Dead-mp3-flac-download-3-17-…

Thanks DD for this interview. VERY cool - I never heard that story before and just love how it gave rise to the first verse of The Other One. Long Live Spring '90! Sixtus

March 17, 1975http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-17-1975 Ace's Mill Valley, California This is a rehearsal with the Dead and David Crosby. There are a few interesting jams here along with the group playing some Crosby material. Crosby was supposed to play with the Dead on March 25, 1975, which is the reason for the rehearsal.
