Grateful Dead

I agree Jim, Dave's 28 does not have a set list that is close to RT 4.5. And while I love RT 4.5. Dave's 28 from a sound perspective is unbelievably good.

And of course most of us know, you can't judge a show by the set list, if you could, none of us would be here.

What an adventure!

....you know I rarely disagree with you icecrmcnkd, but, what? Now Phil Rudd? Maybe. Nicko McBrain? Definitely. But Pert?

That ain’t no shit....6 miserable degeees here, but feels like -5....good news is I got my shipping notice this afternoon and hoping for a weekend delivery of GOGD and per the forecast a 50 degree hike in temperatures. Can’t wait for both, but would settle for The Swing....bring it!!!

Edit: Buses, bycicles, traffic lights, cross walks, it’s fucking dark in here and I can’t see the squares on my phone...am I a robot?

Second that about the 1/22/78 show and how often when we keep our expectations in check we get pleasantly surprised.
I was of the mindset years ago that “I already have more dead than I’ll listen too” and became kinda closed minded about getting most stuff that either wasn’t on my short list and/or shows I wasn’t at, big mistake!
Luckily I was able to get turned onto copies of stuff that started to enlighten me to this lame shortsightedness. “If you get confused just listen to the music play”
Coming here also helped broaden my horizons to where now, I like all eras.
Fortunately, I’ve been very lucky/able to be able to start catching up on many releases, especially this past year, that I missed out on, but it’s cost me, and of course no bonus discs.
So yes Like Daverock states we all have favorites, and that probably won’t change much, but it’s all good ol GD, and now I’m thankful for every release, even ones that don’t blow me away. I’m grateful for every one and get something from them all.
This new way of thinking has really helped me enjoy and get reinvigorated about the dead in general, and specifically many years I had sort of written off. 76 being one example.
Recently, I’ve really been diggin the old stuff which it seems there has been a bit of a trend here lately. I gave up on most of that decades ago. Why? Because I never heard decent stuff from back then so I wrote it off, idiot!
So yeah 78 is not a favorite, but that 1/22/78 show is a perfect example about what I’m (hopefully) trying to explain, Don’t judge a show by its year!
“Sometimes you get shown the light....” and if not, you can always sell, miracle, trade or whatever. In other words 99% of the time you can’t go wrong with the Good ole GD!

“Be excellent to each other” and stay warm!

P.S. try to imagine if/when there are no new realeses, none!

Moby Dick is a ‘song’. It’s the same every time, just like Neil Pert.

Drums/ Space was a creative experience.

Although, now with D&C it’s very similar each night.

Rhythm Devils w/ the full Beast and the Beam or Moby Dick?

I prefer the psychedelic twist of our favorite double entendre.

An excellent interpretation

But tracking number not loaded into the system yet.
I predict a Tuesday delivery.
This is gonna be aaawwweeeesssssooooommmmmeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

I confused DaP 27, Boise ID w/ DaP28, Passaic NJ. Sorry.. hope I didn't offend.

The Capitol Theatre, #28 does have a pretty sweet Help on the Way>Slipknot>Franklins Tower and I think sounds just a touch better than Road Trips 4.5. Both really nice shows.. but the setlists don't overlap all that much.

Dave's 28 is nearly identical to Road Trips Vol. 4, Boston Music Hall 6-9-76 in song selection, which is superior to Dave's 28. That is a big reason why I find it so unappealing.
