Grateful Dead

So, another good day for TDIGDH - Dick's favorite show (2/28/69), another Family Dog (2/28/70 - Lovelight Sandwich!), Salt Lake City 73 (Dick's Picks 28,) and the final night of the Uptown 81 run (maybe the weakest of the three, but still a good show with a great setlist...)

However, today's MUST listen is the practice session the boys had at Bobby's studio in 1975. Here is the link: https://archive.org/details/gd1975-02-28.sbd.smith.93779.sbeok.flac16

It is unlike anything I've ever heard... put it on in the background, and prepare to be blown away!

Peace

I recently was gifted a bunch of GD CDs from 80 and 81.

Last evening I started listening to 9/25/80, the start of the Warfield run.

This morning I come here and Davevikes talks about the Warfield run (and RCMH) as a good box release.

Wow.

I love when things like that happen.

And I said please

I said please

let it shine

"after things begin to get better"

That is good news if they have those tapes in order to release 10/8 and 10/9 80. I guess the rumor had always been maybe those tapes were gone.
So how about releasing the full Warfield and Radio City run? Wouldn't that be an awesome box! I would be the first to try and sign up for that one.

Was just listening to tracks from the Dead Ahead bonus disc yesterday. Notable He's Gone for dual Jerry-isms on the "Steam Locomotive" line.

I bet this RSD release is going to be satisfying. One I will gladly wait in line for...

Thanks for the info LMG...

Grateful Dead / Warfield, San Francisco, Ca 10/9/80 & 10/10/80 (CD) / Grateful Dead-WEA

* Now in our fifth year as the Official Beer of Record Store Day, we’re bringing together independent beer and independent record stores by reigniting our collaboration with longtime friends the Grateful Dead, as well as re-releasing the fan-favorite American Beauty pale ale. We’re also turning up the volume with the creation of Sage & Spirit, a limited edition 10-track vinyl album that will release on Record Store Day (Saturday, April 13).
Featuring a handpicked collection of Grateful Dead melodies, Sage & Spirit was curated by the band’s audiovisual archivist and legacy manager, David Lemieux. After combing through the band’s expansive discography, Lemieux selected the following tracks to appear on this collaborative Record Store Day release: “Sugar Magnolia,” “Eyes Of The World,” “Lost Sailor,” “Saint Of Circumstance,” “High Time,” “Unbroken Chain,” “If I Had The World To Give” and “Sage and Spirit.” Also featured on the album are recordings of “Jack Straw” and “Brown-Eyed Women” from the band’s European tour in 1972. The perfect accompaniment to a pint of American Beauty, copies of Sage & Spirit will be sold, starting on Record Store Day, Apr. 13, at independent record stores around the country.

“Choosing the songs for ‘Sage & Spirit’ really didn’t take long, but that’s not to say I didn’t put a lot of work into it. My directive was, ‘You’re sitting on the porch. It’s a summer day. You’re drinking a Dogfish Head American Beauty and listening to the Dead,’ and immediately I thought, ‘I got it,’” says David. “I was so inspired by that directive that the record turned out to be just that; the soundtrack to a summer day – or really any day. It’s mellow and meditative, and every song is a truly beautiful track.”

With the help of friend and 2019 Off-Centered Art Series artist Michael Hacker, not only have we created a psychedelic album cover for Sage & Spirit, we’ve also created the Official Poster of Record Store Day, and in true Hacker fashion you’ll find an intricately woven story of collaboration and celebration … with one very special surprise. Dim the lights and dig out that black light, because this year’s work of art is none other than a blacklight poster! This limited edition poster will be available for free at select stores and bars that sell Dogfish, as well as on Record Store Day at participating music retailers.

Is the best.. goodness, it shook my mind. But each and every show from this run has something really revealing to offer.

I think this was the best three run show mini box so far. (Sorry Winterland 77, love you too).
