Grateful Dead - 4/17/72 Aarhus, Denmark

Every time I put on one of the shows from E'72 I realize that whole run is magic, and the Aarhus show in particular never disappoints, it just flows from start to finish. Magic.

I was in an interdisciplinary program in the early 80's and one semester of our coursework was on Melville and Moby Dick. At the end of the semester they brought in a guest professor who had dedicated most of his career studying this book. This guy was supposed to be THE expert on the subject. We're in this small auditorium and the expert is up on the stage giving us his insights into the book. As he was talking, I leaned over to my group of friends and quietly said "If people who are into the Grateful Dead are called Deadheads, what do they call people who are really into Moby Dick?" The whole section erupted into laughter, the expert stopped talking, and I got the stink eye from the professor who taught the class. I'm glad the subject was brought up. I haven't thought about that in years.

Looking forward to DaP29..... got my notice yesterday.

Uh...I've been a Dead head since the early-mid-seventies, have seen hundreds of shows. I've been hesitating to say this for a number of years, as it...isn't positive, or...necessarily very nice, but, with all due respect...Dave just doesn't have the ear for the very best of the Dead that Dick L. had. While very few shows were perfect...many in the Dave's Picks catalogue just don't meet...my personal standards, or measure up to, in my mind, the very best of either the best shows that I've been to, or...the recordings that I've long revered as being cutting edge, ground-breaking, best of the best of what made the Dead such an inspiring, unique, special musical experience. Sorry to have to say so. This Listening Party from this release...isn't among the best of what the guys have done...And...It hurts me to say so, as I love, and always will love...The GD.

Yep. Got the mail, ordered the box + bonus disc. Good news, more JGB.

If this has been discussed I apologize for being late to the party. I received an email from Garcia Family Provisions and ordered a new Jerry Box Set consisting of 3 shows titled 'Electric On The Eel': French's Camp on the Eel River in Piercy, Ca. Shows are:
1. 8/29/87 2. 6/10/89 3. 8/10/91 PLUS Acoustic Bonus Disc on pre-orders. Available on CD or Download; I went the CD route and with shipping the order came to $50.08.

I got the other 30 Trips box with the bells and whistles... Suppose to get 29 tomorrow... So excited to listen to the awesome Phil Solo between Eyes of the World and Dancing!!! Always thought it was similar to his solo from Dane County Coliseum 2/15/73 Dark Star!!!!

I got the notice from the Garcia Family, mine has been ordered!

It’s either that there LSD they warned us about, or your getting dat dear “oldtimers” disease there always going on about ; )

Your “beat the set list drum” post from last night was right on so I don’t think we’ll need your membership card back just yet!

COLD; for all you folks frezzin’ your nards off, look up the rodeo song, that’ll help.....
“Well it’s forty below and I don’t give a #$$&, cause it’s off to the rodeo”

EDIT; my cousin just ordered me that JGB box, sounds sweet, and for what 40 bucks!

BobT, I picked up the 30 trips (music only) box last summer from I think amazon/Warner, and each show was individually shrink wrapped, in a box inside a box...nothing else, no extras.

Cold Rain and Snow. Schools closing, UPS etc, all understandable considering. The real danger is that some places have had to stop delivering BEER!! Now that’s some scary shit! Especially if your stuck at home, with no beer.....
“the horror” ; )

-3 or - 4 most days here in the mountains in the AM, but it’s been warming up to about thirty, which with the sun out at this altitude is actually just right. -20 here is definetly cold, but it’s a dry cold so nothing like that Great Lakes kinda cold, brrrrrrrrr.

Be safe, stay warm, but stock up on beer first!
Soon will have that smoking hot 2/26/77, that’ll warm things up a bit 😎

....I get Phil's birthday wrong. What's wrong with me? I would say it's the cold, but it's a balmy 60 degrees here right now. Where do I turn in my Deadhead card?
anyone get an email about the JGB On The Eel River box set today? Bonus disc included with pre-orders at jerrygarcia.com. I just ordered the CD set and the print. Have some empty wall space.
