Grateful Dead

Full speed ahead.

76 is really growing on me. I had pretty much written it off, but lately, the more I listen the more I like. Of course the awesome hand picked shows we’ve been given surely help. I do recall wayback when hearing shows that would seem to sputter as the night wore on, or their coke wore off, but that could just be memory issues and/or my uninitiated teenage perspective back then?
Have been especially digging RT 4.5, and remember being pleastly surprised by the Cow palace when I first got a copy of that. Haven’t gotten around to the 30 trips show yet.....
Will have to fire that and the Cow palace up as soon as I get things back up and running.
Not a big fan of the Bean or some of the keyboard sounds, but that’s nitpicking, and of course if one simply follows Dr Jim’s advice the symptoms are properly mitigated 😎

Wow that was crazy last night. By the time side C ended, I felt like I was inside some kind of machine. Literally had to crawl across the floor to flip to side D. It was dark but there was shit moving everywhere. I will definitely be checking out some more British and German Psychadelic Cock Rock.

Now...drinking a spicy bloody while waiting for a table at the local Irish Pub...Lagunitas next...ate one more small stem before I left to keep things lively...

This afternoon I think 03/17/68...Carousel and then maybe 3/17/91 if I make it that long 😊

Happy St. Pats Dead Land!

JGB -Eel Box
All 7 CDs in chronological order.
Very nice. An excellent release.

The GD are in a league by themselves.

best rock band after GD?

Led Zeppelin

after a hiatus, I have been listening again.

LZ III YAHOO!
LZ I YAHOO!
LZ Presence YAHOO!
LZ Heartbreaker YAHOO! The opening riff is so FREAKING POWERFUL. Beavis and Butthead voices: BUH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH...!!!
LZ II YAHOO!

maybe...time flies and my mind gets fuzzy.

I'll just have to (eventually) try again.

recent GD:
Eugene 1981 (8/16, I believe)
8/30/81

next 11/8/69

Go away for a few days and it takes more than a few to read all the happenings!

Bob and the Wolf Bros were very nice. I was amazed at what Don Was could do with the standup bass.

The theater was very small and we had very good seats. I thought Jack Straw was my hottest track over the two nights. My buddy is getting the recordings and I can re-listen while not tripping balls.

Has anyone heard anything about a digital download on the latest 45 release? Thought I'd have an email when I got back.

...happy Sunday everyone, I hope to find all of you smile smile smiling today on this grateful sunny Sunday. I
Love me some 1976 playing but today I put in Daves Pick #11 nov. 17th 1972 ‘Wichita’ man oh man this release is in my top 72’ shows from such an era that finds lots of love in the Dead community. Daves #11 doesn’t have a single dud in the show in my opinion and liking !
Repeat these words three times and click the heels of your feet together, “There’s no band like the greatful Dead” ...and then push play to be back in 1972 with this primo audio you’ll feel like your right there!
Have a grateful day my friends! :)

'76 can be hit or miss... it doesn't always grab me, but when it does grab me it takes me places. Of all the 76 shows, I think the Cow Palace New Year's show and the Day on the Green in October stand out, but... back to Cobo.

Get a hold of some good Indica, wait for it to take affect, put on the PITB sequence then relax and put your mind at ease.

If that doesn't do it... lather, rinse, repeat and try some Sativa.

That's all I've got. Over and out.

...the draw of that '76 cobo hall show to Stoltzfus.

Last I remember it did not give him 'GD Wood'. (Am I 'On Topic' here teehee)

That 30 Trips box is quite the revelation though, containing many shows that would have taken a long time to have gotten released singly.

P.S. Fire Hydrants AND Cars
P.S.S. Speaking of Fire Hydrants and Cars, I saw one get run over by one (literally) last night. A first for me. Talk about synchronicity.
