    "We were in the Pacific Northwest...between somewhere in Washington and some other where in Oregon. The road took us to the lip on a ridge, from where we could see around us for many miles in all directions … It was breathtaking to behold, but as we watched, we had a firm realization that we were witnessing something even more beautiful than our eyes could ever take in … Life causes life. Heaven and Earth dance in this way endlessly, and their child is the forest. And so there we were, epiphanously watching that grandest and most glorious dance of life—of which we are just a tiny part—awed by a magnificence without beginning, without end..."

    Bob Weir, “Sell Headwaters—Everyone Wins,” San Francisco Chronicle

    The Pacific Northwest offers up a rich feast of land, sky, and water. It is ripe with influences, abundant with symbols, deep and spirited. It should, therefore, come as no surprise that the Grateful Dead played some of their most inspired shows on these fertile grounds. It does, however, sometimes take a breath for the elements to re-align years later. It seems for us, they finally have and we are able to present not just a glimpse of the band's extraordinary exploratory tour through the region, but a two-tour bounty as the PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS.

    For PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS, we've paired two short runs made up of six previously unreleased shows - P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, B.C. (6/22/73); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (6/24/73); Seattle Center Arena, Seattle, WA (6/26/73); P.N.E. Coliseum, Vancouver, Canada (5/17/74); Portland Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR (5/19/74); and Hec Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (5/21/74). Each show has been mastered in HDCD from the original master tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. The transfers from the masters were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes, further ensuring that this is the best, most authentic that these shows have ever sounded.

    PACIFIC NORTHWEST ’73-’74: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS comes in an ornate box created by Canada’s preeminent First Nations artist Roy Henry Vickers (more on this tremendous artist soon). To complement the music, the set also includes a 64-page book with an in-depth essay by Grateful Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether and photos by Richie Pechner.

    Due September 7th, this release is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies and available exclusively from dead.net. You'll want to grab a copy while you can and sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day. You can pre-order it now too.

    Get it while you can.

    Noon-ish is not the best time to catch a full-blown show.....
    My memory has clearly telescoped events, because I almost think I remember rolling over in my sleeping bag and, for breakfast, snorting a pile of 'chocolate' mescaline off one of those mini-cereal boxes. I definitely took some blotter. But even if we'd 'slept in,' it must of been 10-ish or something. Surely we'd had some water and a snack, probably provided by a merciful neighbor. We were still 15 and we looked like what we were: goddamm-near children! Ah, so I was saying, we dropped acid and snorted mescaline and fired up the pipe with Numero Uno and, hey, is that freakin' Jerry on stage? Wait, Bobby. Phil. Bill. The piano guy. Jer kept dipping his cigarette into a brass ashtray and, when he re-lit it, it flared up. I didn't hit the blow til '75 but later, I thought, freebase. I hope someone can clarify this, but I think I recall the band starting just a bit after NOON(!). As far as I was concerned at the time, they fucking rocked the place for hours. I do recall, as I often feel, feeling goofy about a camera while tripping. But I managed to snap off three shots, of which two survive, which catch the three guitarists blasting away on Playing in the Band, then turning towards each other to converse more intimately, finally arriving in a tight circle and sending tides of sound across the crowd. I think this was the time I experienced Phil's bass as physical, purple pulses in my chest and the realization that vibrations, rather than corporeal reality, were at the heart of existence. I clearly remember the gospel treatment at the end of He's Gone and at the end of Sugar Mag, Weir thrust his arm skyward for stop time, ran back to his amps, downed the rest of a Heineken and raced back to the mic for the coda. Still, I was 15, down front at one of the biggest gatherings of humans in history. I did look back over the crowd, but, as usual, there wasn't much profit in looking back. Not with the Grateful Dead killing it in front of me.

    The Soundcheck
    The Allmans rocked big time. They'd slayed us at RFK after the Dead when, exhausted and dehydrated, we had retreated to the shaded overhang of RFK and been simply psychedelically rolled over by the ABB. They smoked the Dead that day. Back to the Soundcheck. I got up and hiked around the scene while it was still afternoon. A very loose scene with lots of elbow room, cool air, breathing. I returned to our space, easily located, for The Band. It was nearly sunset when the Grateful Dead took the stage. We had all the room we needed. I started the soundcheck boogie-ing upright, shakin it to the rock 'n roll. I had snorted some mescaline and taken maybe a half tab of the blotter. Everyone knew this was unprecedented in GD history. Here we were, groovin' on a cool pine forest evening, high but not pressed and our favorite band was blasting away on the finest sound system we'd ever heard. I do not recall individual songs, just the transition between comprehensible songs and jams that had us smiling for reasons we knew not. [Beautiful Jam from So Many Roads is blasting in the background as I write these words.] I do clearly recall the feeling of complete ease as I nestled down into my sleeping bag, head on cool gallon jug, looking up at the band just jamming away. We rode it out after the band departed and the next thing we knew, it was morning and the crowd was bustling, hustling, and by noon it was show time all over again.

    I hope you are writing these in a word processing program and saving them.You probably should combine your memories and pictures and put it out on the internets where it will hopefully be forever preserved. Maybe upload the final version to the archive someday.

    Any headphone listeners out there? Or maybe you don't need them. I find the bass on this GSTL recording overwhelming. Bertha and Help On the Way are good places to start. I don't get the same thing with the SB I have if this show. I think Jeff Norman boosted it somehow. Anyone else notice it? Garyfarseer - what kind of medicine?

    The greatest missed show on Earth
    Long story shrunk to size... We had to get home on 10 June 1973 because we were exhausted, dehydrated, broke, without tickets, food, water, anything, so we thumbed back and tried to blend into humanity. I was 15. I lived with my parents, of course, and they needed to see some evidence that I was alive. They never even said a word about my setting out for a multi=day excursion in jeans and a t-shirt. We just did it. We heard the 10 June show was smokin' and we were pissed. We were NOT going to be caught short like that again. No effin' way. So when the news broke of a show with all three of the greatest rock bands of that time -- the Grateful Dead, the Allman Brothers and The Band -- we were on it like white on rice. Tickets cost $10.50? We had 'em. And we'd just seen the Allmans at Madison Square Garden in, May? I smuggled in a bong. A young cop caught me. An older cop said, "Let him go. It's a bong. Don't worry about it." Jesus, this whole law enforcement thing was confusing! But my view was broadening... Late July 1973. The older brother of a hot schoolmate of ours was driving to Watkins Glen. We signed on. Me, Mark L, David W, and a few others. We brought our backpacks. We had a little food. A shit-ton of Numero Uno. No alcohol. I had a sheet of blotter. Someone's adept use of the map enabled us to skirt around the worst of the traffic and we actually accessed the grounds in fine fashion, probably 12 hrs ahead of the hoo-ska-boo that eventually developed. The van's inhabitants split into units and we never saw our driver-host again, until a week later, just before the 31 July - 1 August shows back at Roosevelt Stadium. (Biggies, waiting for release...) So we hike over to the "gate," passing food trucks that specialized in big scoops of weed. We snickered, fully equipped. We were still 15. We entered the gates around midday and for some reason no one took my ticket, so I immediately doubled back to the chain link fence and passed my whole ticket to a have-not. Instinct, communal instinct. Later, my parents said that friends of theirs in Europe had seen footage that included my entrance into the concert site. The stage was perhaps 2/3 of a mile away. As we walked down the gently sloping hill towards the stage it was obvious we were a bit early. In earlier shows we were leery of getting too close because of the physical crush, the volume and the collective high that sometimes ... got a bit hairy. But fresh off missing 10 June, we marched down and claimed a beautiful space about 20 yards from the stage, just a bit left of center. On our way, we'd grabbed a few one-gallon water jugs that were set out free by Bill Graham in response to the scene at RFK in DC 6 weeks earlier. I found myself high on mescaline, laying on my sleeping bag with my head resting on a cool one-gallon jug of potable water and passing a doobie when the crowd sputtered and roared. It was late afternoon and the Allman Brothers had just taken the stage.

    RFK, June 1973
    Throughout the fall of 1972 and through the winter-spring of 1973 I had ingested numerous psychedelics, including the wonderful agent known as mescaline and naturally a few substantial doses of the Lady Herself. At one point, with my buddy Moose, we were sitting atop a van-sized boulder in a 2,000 acre wooded preserve near home and we focused on the visual margin between the rock beneath us and the ground in the background and felt that we had lifted the boulder upon which we sat perhaps several inches into the air, then lowered it again to its natural resting place. But I digress... June 1973 and me and David W are hitching to RFK in DC about 200 miles away for the 9-10 June 1973 shows. It's summer. So obviously we go in t-shirts, jeans, sneakers, with a ticket and few single dollars/dead presidents in my pocket. Next to the sheet of oval 4-way blotter. A little smokum in the sock, in case we got stopped. Look, we're 15, okay? 16 was months away. We were just up for adventure, loud rock 'n roll and, um, a closer look at the scene. I remember that some of the serious traveling hippies with LSD-dead eyes were there selling pipes, but also passing them around. We had long hair but we were little kids! These folks looked 50 but were probably 20, i.e., impossibly old, grizzled and of unknown origin. But no one actually bothered us, nor was there any attention. Everyone treated us as adults. So we slept on the ground on the grassy parts outside the stadium that night. No water, no food, no equipment. The next day, temperatures climbed towards 100. We were smoking a joint by the grate that blocked one entrance and a black cop motioned us over. We approached cautiously. "Hand me some of that, will you?" he asked. "WHAAAT???" was our initial reaction, having already experienced the pleasure of being cuffed and harassed by the cops for having a beer in the park. Turned out, cops can be cool, too. We burned two with the cat and we bid each other a good day. He was clearly amused by the scene, but in a groovy way. This was 1973 and racism and violence over the Vietnam War made longhairs outcasts, just like minorities of every stripe, then and now. Short story long, me and David split a 4-way and the Dead played that afternoon, opening for the ABB that night. The lines for water were long. We survived on The Lady, a little water and some "Numero Uno" substance we thought was hash but turned out to be opium. Worked for us that day, though, the heat was excruciating and I'm sure a lot of folks needed help in the heat. I got up close for Chinacat at the end of the first set. I was mesmerized. Bobby played a Gibson SG, which in my mind meant "bass guitar." Phil was playing a big possibly semi-hollowbody bass that said to my untutored eyes, "rhythm guitar." But I was already a huge Phil fan (being a Jer fan was too obvious) and this had me confused. At some point some idiot hurled a lit M-80 onto the stage (June 9, right? obviously in close proximity to July 4??) and it rolled up to Jer. In that day, he had a stage mannerism of sort of shuffling in place and I saw him move his right foot forward in perfect time and using the tip of his cowboy boot sent the live M-80 back out over the crowd. I don't even recall hearing it explode. The music was pretty loud.

    Backstory and launch....
    The briefest of backstories: Six years old in 1964, persuaded my mom to buy me a Beatles LP at the checkout counter of the local discount store. Played it on monaural phonograph with one 12" speaker output. Rocked as child. 13 years old in 1970, convince mom to drive me and a friend to a Chambers Bros concert. We dug the music but were too young for 'action.' 15 years old, summer of '72, catch The Byrds and New York Rock 'n Roll Ensemble at college outside Saugerties NY where The Band rec'd Big Pink five years earlier. We drove by Big Pink. (Still Pink.) We were 15. (An older brother was actually driving...) Since 1971, been spinning American Beauty and Skull & Roses LPs on the same phonograph as in 1964, only now it's in the basement where our ping-pong table and hang-out couch are located. 19 Sept 1972, I jump in a car full of older heads with an ounce of hash in my pocket, 33 days after my 15th birthday, and we proceed to the Roosevelt Stadium in lovely Jersey City, New Jersey, and catch my first Grateful Dead show. I had already been 'experienced,' but did not drop at this show; too chaotic, large crowd, determined to survive and catch my ride home. I listened for familiar songs, jams, anything -- nothing! Everything was different. Records, shme-cords. This scene was crazy. Maybe 10,000 people screamin' high groovin', freakin', dancin', gyratin', handing you things you knew best to pass along... I was alone in the giant crowd with the music louder but sweeter than anything I'd ever heard before. The music rocked, I just couldn't grab onto a big Jerry jabbin' guitar riff that would remind me of Skull & Roses. Obviously, this was no American Beauty. As Jer once said, recording in a studio is like building a ship in a bottle. Playing live is like being on the ocean in an open rowboat. And that's kinda how I felt -- out there, surfin', knew I'd have to get home ... 3 hours into the show, I do remember saying to myself, "Well, all righty then, damn good show, YOU CAN STOP PLAYING ANYTIME, I'M GOOD. GOTTA GET SOME REST... MUST SNAG RIDE HOME..." Part II, coming ...

Greetings GD Community. Apologies to all for the interruption to this board. I am requesting some help for some information from a previous post in this board. I believe that someone posted a comment to this board recently and included that they were a Sandy Denny fan. I have searched and searched the posts for the past several days and I cannot locate it. Perhaps, I never saw this. Or never saw it here. Well, I thought I would ask for some help from you all. If there is anyone that noticed that post and can help me locate it, or perhaps the person who posted it, would you please be able to PM with that information? It would be much appreciated. I thank you all for your time in reading this message. Again, my apologies for the interruption to the discussions. Hope everyone has a beautiful day. Regards

Thanks for the recommendations, danc. I only really discovered King Crimson recently myself, and I have never heard many of the bands you mention. I will definitely do some exploring. Soft Machine are still touring, and are superb live. They are now led by Theo Travis on sax and John Etheridge on guitar. I also bought a cd by Ray Russell last year, called "Rites and Rituals" which is worth a listen. One new band I came across a few years ago, who play a very frenetic amalgamation of jazz and rock are Norways Elephant9. I saw them at the esteemed jazz venue, Ronnie Scotts, and they blew the roof off the joint. At the intermission, seasoned jazzers could be seen leaving the venue-and I overhead one pundit say-"You can't call THAT jazz!"-They were that good. As to the difference between prog and fusion...I'm not sure! I always think of prog as being more orchestrated-less improvisational and maybe more influenced by light European classical music. Fusion seems to stem from Bitches Brew. Although the free jazz movement of the early 60s is in there, too-Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, John Coltrane. There were so many categories of music, all loosely played by so called "underground" bands in the early-mid 70s in Britain. Not only the above two, but also space rock-Hawkwind and Gong, heavy rock-Deep Purple and Black Sabbath, folk-Fairport Convention, Incredible String Band, blues-Rory Gallagher, The Groundhogs. None of these categories were recognised as such at the time, I don't think-but there was some great music being played across the spectrum. In about 1974, it all seemed to get very stale,though, and in 1976 we had the new, supposedly improved version of rock. Punk. That's one way of looking at it anyway!

No disrespect meant Oroborous.. meant in a whimsical, alter ego way.. I'd expect the evil twin as having all the fun too.. think Dr. Evil.. not two horns, likes heat evil. Again.. said in jest, no disrespect meant.

None taken me amigo, just messing around. In fact, I think I’m the one who started the “evil twin” thing : ) 4/27/71: that was fun, not sure I’ve ever heard any of that, especially The Beach Boys stuff. Great Lovelight.

Oroboros.....another great story. Nothing tops the Dragon (Oroboros) story, but a Grate One all the same! Coincidentally, I have had Road Trips Volume 2, No. 3 downloaded on my phone, and therefore on regular rotation lately. Only problem is that it's only a partial show. Does anyone have a complete SBD of this show? If so, I would sure appreciate a copy....I have checked my files and can't find one. One thing......since the statute of limitations is past, how about that side story? (you mentioned you would only focus on the show story). You're such a good story teller, I have a feeling it's probably entertaining! Do tell!! Edit: An SBD of that Allman Bros show from KC in 74 would also be sweet!!! I wonder if that exists somewhere?

CCR was my first "big" show. MSG in May 1970. CCR was one of the top bands at the time and they were great! John Fogarty is an awesome song writer & performer. Booker T and the MG's opened. Green Onions & Time is Tight! Yeah baby. I have seen CSN, CN, SY and S solo. I think Stills is my fave. A local record shop has a boot of Stills playing w/ the GD at the Thelma, I think it is the nite before DaP10, 12/11/69. I am sorely tempted to pull the trigger on that one even though I usually do not buy unauthorized boots. Rock on

You are correct hbob.. 12/10/69, Thelma. I've got it.. check your PM I'm happy to share. He also played with them on 4/16/83 at the Brendon Byrne Arena in NJ. Black Queen both nights. Rumor has it they made a giant series of lines on a mirror backstage that read Stephen Stills and gave it to him. Bet he didn't sleep well that night. When I was in college I had this short gig DJ'ing for the new (at the time) college radio station. I just played my tapes until I sort of ran out of new ones to play. I'd bet what I was doing was not quite legal.. and before Gan's The Grateful Dead Hour, but no one seemed to care enough to complain. I played that Brendon Byrne show and got my one and only phone call.. "Who's that singing Black Queen?" Pirate radio at it's finest.

CCR were great-but I never really got into CSNY. I was put off by their appearance in the film of Woodstock. I was about 18 when I saw it and liked a bit more oomph with my music. So at Woodstock the music I liked most was Jimi Hendrix, Ten Years After and The Who. I thought Santana was pretty good, too. I used to like "If Only I Could Remember My Name",-the David Crosby solo album featuring members of The Dead. I haven't played it in years, though.

today I was out uber eats driving. I get a call to go to Aurora/Hwy 99. I put in Deep Purple live in Japan 1972. "Highway Star" plays. I see the sign southbound 99 that declares it a "Blue Star Memorial Highway." immediately to the right of the blue star in the rectangle it says "Star Highway." "just as plain as day, it could not be denied" interesting, if nothing else.

11/20/78 GDH 406 If this show existed in better quality you know it'd be Normanized by now. While you compare the IIHTWTG to the Comes A Time from 5/9/77 it takes me to Comes A Time from 5/4/77, the Mission from 6/29/76 has no comparison IMO.

Bolo that was great - the only cure for our affliction is more shows. That is about the size of things isn't it. I thought this was a great statement too: "I walked out of Winterland half-expecting to find a different planet on the other side of the door". I've been blown away by a couple of bands like that. I didn't realize you were that.... you know, I didn't realize your Grateful Dead experience went back to.....that's great you got to see them before the hiatus. Really cool. I would love to hear more about it some time. Hiatus. HiATEus. Hi-ate-us. Funny word, hiatus. Anyway, I didn't have enough time to listen to the whole thing last night, so I'm finishing it right now. I'm in the middle of the Playing in the Band medley, and completely forgot there's a Morning Dew in there. Imagine my delight when I heard the opening chords. 1973 and 1974 I think of my favorite year for that song. I really did Keith's piano. I'm not sure if that was Erik or Jenn, but I concur. 30 Trips 1974 kicks ass. That Lemieux knows how to pick them. Awesome UJB opener, one of my favs. Coincidentally, there's been some talk about the Fillmore East shows from April 71. That was the first version of Uncle John's Band I ever heard, and I still think it's the best one. The only disclaimer I put on that statement is that I'm talking about the core song and not any of the extended jamming that took place as the song developed over the years. But yeah, 30 trips 1974, great show, great sound for 1974 too. I was just listening to that one the other day in the car. I do a little cherry picking of the super good songs when I'm in the car. Really enjoyed the Jack Straw, Peggy-O, Me & My Uncle, Eyes Of The World, Truckin' and Caution Jam. It's kind of funny. My doctor told me I've got some hearing loss in the mid-range. I'm thinking yeah it's those Wall of Sound shows doing that.

Lot of great songs.But the ~16 minute Heard It Through The Grapevine is my favorite. I had it on cassette in the 80’s. It was on CD in the early 90’s but it seems to be out of print. I bought the vinyl recently and the Grapevine was trimmed down to ~3 minutes, cuts out just as the jam is about to begin.

I just realize that you were talking about Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young all this time. I've seen: CSN X2, CN, Nash, and NY ×10?

...this performance was really one of there early performances in playing to a large crowd if my memory serves me right... Here’s some info ——“Scared Shitless ” is not a phrase I would associate with the heaven sent quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, but if my second performance with my band was at Woodstock, I’m sure I would be able to relate. The group formed in 1968 after the fracturing of bands The Hollies, The Byrds, and Buffalo Springfield. The initial lineup consisted of only Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the band needed more personnel in order to tour, as Steven Stills was responsible for most of the instrumentals. The trio finally settled with Neil Young. Their second concert together was none other than Woodstock 1969. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young had played only one previous show together prior to Woodstock, and although each member was an experienced musician, the lack of playing together resulted in the band being incredibly nervous. The set included acoustic performances of songs from the first album released without Young, who came out and played as a duo with Stills. They were announced as their former band Buffalo Springfield, although the actual Buffalo Springfield had since disintegrated. After their sink or swim induction into the rock and roll world at Woodstock, they followed up with their first release as a quartet titled “Deja Vu ” which topped the charts and produced three hit singles. Soon after, a hasty move by Young to release his single “Ohio ” dissolved the band ‘s relationship and the band began shifting between releases as a trio and a quartet. As a band, they were never able to recapture the esteem and momentum that they originally possessed. Over the years the band was mainly comprised of different combinations of Crosby, Stills, and Nash, while Young spent most of his time touring with his other backup band Crazy Horse and being at odds with Stephen Stills. After David Crosby ‘s wild ride with drug and firearm charges, Young rejoined the band briefly and they released the album “American Dream ” in 1988 which did make it to number 16 on the charts, but received poor reviews from critics. Young refused to tour on the album and the band would not tour together again until 2006. Their “Freedom of Speech ” tour was launched in support of Young ‘s album “Living With War ” and included new protest songs as well as songs from Stills’ latent release titled “Man Alive “. Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young have always been known for their activism as well as their anti-war mentality. Like many other artists involved with Woodstock, they are again emerging as musicians with a voice who vocalize dissatisfaction with the country ‘s current state of affairs. Crosby, Stills, and Nash were most recently on the Colbert Report where they performed their famous song “Teach Your Children ” from the “Deja Vu ” album. CSNY later went on to record Joni Mitchell’s song “Woodstock”. The song rose up the charts quickly lead by the vocals of Stephen Stills, and instantly became the most recognizable song about the Woodstock festival.

All but the last CCR album have been remastered and re-released with bonus tracks: outtakes and live cuts. 'Grapevine' clocks in at 11:03 on 'Cosmo's Factory', and the entire album sans bonus tracks clocks in at 42:25. Since most albums were 18-22 mins. per side I don't think this is an edited version. Was it a live version you're speaking of?

Chronicle: 20 Greatest HitsThat was the cassette tape, I was guessing about the length of Grapevine since I had the cassette in the 80’s. I recently bought the vinyl and Grapevine is 3:52.

Just tracked it down, Grapevine is the album version at 11:04. So, how about some live CCR official releases? I love the Fogerty part of 11-3-91 with GD as his backing band.

... if they made DaP27 a show adjacent to one of the box set shows? Say, 5/25/74 Santa Barbara, which is a great show despite no Other One/Dark Star? Sneaky pranksters.... Rationale: Apart from making September a 73/74-fest, they might predict that it would create more demand for the 73/74 box, since they've already done the initial push and some may be on the fence. Folks might get DaP27 and decide to pull the trigger on 6 more just like it. Yes you could argue it would cannibalize sales, but again the initial sales rush is over and now it's a matter of converting those who decided to pass on it for now. That would be something. That really would be something. Or Gainesville...

I know, isn't that just a bit too many toppings on the cake? That's howthey billed it. Friends were like, "is Dean going to play all Dead covers?" No. He didn't. Just drove home from there, hella fast with that remastered "Appetite" guiding my way. Living in a big city, well, semi-big (Denver), one knows how to get around. Cops have real crime to fight and they rarely give a shit about some white boy in a Hyundai with clear windows speeding five over and jamming the rock n' roll. The theater was just part of the local hype for the next two nights at Folsom Field. Last shows of the tour, folks. Dean Ween was uneven, but gave it the old college try as he does. We did a blaster for the road and high-tailed it out of there before the encore. We know folks there and got heavy pours and discounts all night. Buy $100 worth of booze, get charged $20, tip your bartender $80. Hey, I can play this game. I'm really looking forward to Friday and Saturday. The last shows of the tour in rock and roll, well, hard rock anyway, were always known for craziness and hi-jinks. We'll see what the geezers have up their sleeve. At least Sharon Osbourne isn't involved. Iron Maiden, anyone? God bless everyone. See you at Folsom! The weather shall be perfect.

Noticing that disc 4, has only 20 minutes of music listed. Wondering/hoping if/for a hidden track. I know they have placed a few hidden gems on previous releases. while not from the era , but area.Think its 6/12/80 with Scarlet>Fire from Portand would be nice. Mount St Helens erupts, or some Phil and Ned. seems like awhile from last DVD release.

There is a live CCR release, compiled from a European tour they did in 71. Its not titled 'Europe 71' but it should have been :) It has a nice jammy 13 min version of 'Keep on Chooglin'. I'm not sure what chooglin is exactly, but John Fogerty makes it sound like a lot of fun. Love CCR. Fogerty is one of the great rock n roll songwriters of all time.

Going with choice selections from DP 28 Feb '73. Great Cold Rain & Snow. Fantastic GSET, but the Louie Louie riff Phil plays before it starts drives me nuts every time. I always want them to play the whole song. Also has one of those slow slinky Loose Lucy's. And of course Dark Star. What's everyone else listening to? wissonomingdeadhead - I saw that you listed yes as your favorite studio album band. I'm a huge fan as well. I started buying those 5.1 surround sound Steve Wilson remasters, and they're fantastic. Tales From topographic oceans never sounded better than this. Of all their Studio records that one in its original pressing was always a little disappointing from a Sonic standpoint. It was as though I could never turn the treble up high enough to hear the drums well. Everything was just kind of muffled and muted or something. Not anymore! Did you also pick any of those up? Shirdeep - you seem to have a huge collection of old Grateful Dead pictures. Do you have any Keith pictures? Doing a Google search doesn't really get you too many of him.
