Grateful Dead

Hey KiethFan, I saw that you mentioned that you are combining tracks from various releases into one folder/playlist. I have been doing that too. Over 6 months ago, maybe longer, I discovered that a few releases when combined either completed a show or more often came close to it. I did some research and I came across these shows along with the ones you mentioned (4/26/69 & 11/2/77) that fit the the bill: 2/13/70 2/14/70 4/28/71 4/28/71 7/31/71 8/6/71 12/6/71 4/26/72 5/7/72 6/16/74 6/18/74 10/17/74 10/18/74 10/19/74 7/16/76 10/11/77 10/16/77 9/16/78 10/21/78 11/9/79 Now some of these are the Road Trips or Daves Picks where the bonus disc combined with the rest of the same release helps to round out the show. Yet some of these are from 2 (or more) completely different releases. Again the combination does not always give a complete show release but definitely 50% of it for most. Also there are more that I may have missed or just didn't include because the combination doesn't add up to more that just a smaller portion (less than 50%) of the show. 10/11/77 is my favorite of these becuase it combines the hidden filler on DP 29 with tracks from Road Trips V1 N1. This became a fun projrct for me. I know this may seem a little nutty too but this appeases the collector in me. Any way I have a thorough breakdown of all of these release combinations if anyone is interested.

Great Link. Enjoyed the Nevilles a good bit over the years. First exposed to them opening for and playing with the GD.. but boy where they free and fun. Thanks man.. ..and RIP Mr. Charlie.

Too bad to hear about Charles Neville. A lot of our guys are reaching that age. Here's a great clip of Yellow Moon with John Hiatt guesting. He fits right in. Charles on sax and the Neville's guitarist rip out some feverish interplay near the end. Special appearance by Ed Bradley in the audience for a few seconds too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O87iUDZGDKs

...Neville Brothers saxophonist Charles Neville died today 4/26/18 of pancreatic cancer in Massachusetts, where he had lived for many years. He was 79. RIP... :(

I also do not partake in the listening parties for that exact reason. I actually get a little neurotic about listening to soundboards, because I'm afraid of ruining the first listen of a show that might be released some time in the future. For example, I've never listened to June 10th 1973. I listened to December 15th, 1971 once, and felt like I should have held off. I pretty much ruined the Get Shown The Light box set by listening to the sound boards first (but I couldn't help myself there, because we never thought those tapes were coming back). Anyway, it's a Neurosis for sure.

....only Playin' though. Didn't want to be too forward. That's creepy.

and the just exactly perfect time for that virgin listen. I do have a road trip to Oregon coming up. If I receive it before then, that will be right for my first time.

I noticed nobody's mentioned any of the songs that are available for the listening party. I've been avoiding them because there's nothing like that virgin listen. I guess since nobody's commented on them, we're all into virgins?
