During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...

But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again. No more epic battles for the people with cops and lines and tightness, the Dead would return triumphant in smallness, playing intimate theaters and renting equipment along the way. No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.

Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it." Old favorites were re-envisioned with cascading tempos and unique sequencing, making the crowd question if they'd ever heard these songs before. And there was comfort and joy in the familiarity of watching the band make it up as they went along. By all means, it was clear that the bacchanalia of live Dead would reign on.

And now the revelry from this epoch, evidenced by the near-studio quality sound captured on two-track live recordings by Betty Cantor-Jackson, lives on, bolstered by Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering. It's housed for posterity in a handsome box featuring original art work by Justin Helton. It’s documented in liners by Jesse Jarnow and photos by Grant Gouldon. And it’s ready for a spot on your shelf.

As part of our pre-order for this Dead.net exclusive boxed set, we'll be delivering downloads of each listening party - one for each show included in JUNE 1976 - to purchasers from now until the March 20th release. Order at any time before release and you'll receive all the listening parties to date.

Passaic Listening Party for pre-orders

Anybody notice the strange mixdown of Playing in the Band on the listening party download?

Weird vocal/instrument levels throughout the entire song, incomparable to the other tracks that dropped with it.

Is this an issue with how that song was captured?

Great American Puke Fest

Who doesn't love a good hurling story? I've got a few, but please people - one at a time.

We were driving back to Boulder from the Great American Beer Fest some time in the early to mid 1990's. I was sandwiched in the backseat of a two door, red Chevy Beretta. Against all better judgement a bowl was passed around, and yours truly inhaled.

Now, I didn't have the tolerance I have now, and when the spins and cold sweats came on, being in that middle seat with no back window, a hard choice had to be made.

I leaned slightly forward, and threw up all down myself inside my winter parka. I was so stealth about this, neither wastoid on either side of me even noticed! I zipped up my jacket, relieved but disgusted, and it must've been another ten minutes before someone up front asked, "hey, did somebody puke?"

I got dropped off at my apartment, went inside and straight into the shower. Hosed off the jacket and threw the clothes into the washer, ate some greasy food and sobered up with no one the wiser. To this day, none of those guys know I ralphed into my jacket.

Sometimes, you have to take one for the team.

A too much to fast story

The Who 7/89 Pontiac Silverdome, floor row 32.

Everyone on the floor is standing on the flimsy plastic chairs. We’re a few songs into the first set and the 3 guys in the row in front of me break out a glass pipe and start smoking crack. The guy right in front of me takes a huge hit (I think Jim recently referred to those as a ‘hero hit’), holds it in, then exhales, and passes out while still standing on the chair, and tumbles to the floor unconscious. Security saw him fall, came over, could see that he wasn’t in good shape, grabbed him and took him away.
He never returned and missed an awesome show.

Too funny! But hey, even as a rookie you followed The Scranton boys rule of hurling; “no shootin’ without a cooler” which translates to it’s ok if you have to as long as it’s out the window, or in a garbage or whatever, as long as it’s not all over: the car, fellow travelers, or yourself! Lol Old Lumpy from Scranton NY would be proud of ya!
FYI, that was a pretty good show! I was with that 20 year old I’ve mentioned, and we ran into our old pal Lee Estee, possibly the last time we hung with him.

Re: Oro & Hurling

...that was a great throwback oration of an extremely visual nature - too funny. Your steadfastness at that rail is A Thing of Legend.

In the vein of oversharing biological output shenanigans - I have my own vomit story....just not nearly as epic. My first dead show, July 16 1990 - we road tripped with a caravan of 8 cars from Cazenovia NY to Buffalo. I was pretty much still a kid freshly turned 18, we all piled into the open slots in the rides with tons of beer, and off we went (we didn't have access to weed yet, sadly). So it's a good several hour trek across NY State, and of course we're boozing the whole way, eating snacks, I specifically recall eating a bunch of brownies (just regular old brownies, nothing special). Well, we get about an hour from Buffalo and I am feeling I need to blow chunks. I happen to be in the 3rd row/seat of a minivan, not riding bitch but near a window...yet we all recall, the windows in mini vans in the way way back don't really open; they only pop open a few inches (or at least back then they did). I really had no choice - so when the hurling hit, I leaned over to that teeny tiny crack and blew chunks out the back sliver of a window, going at like 70 miles an hour down the NY Thruway. Needless to say, when we got out in the lot and I went and looked, there was an immense triangle of brownie vomit caked on the side of the minivan from that window crack all the way to the back of the van, covering most of the back quarter panel. Incidentally, I did feel better after that, and I recall it even rained at one point so most of it got washed off before we parted the lot. In the end I had a great time at the show - and was probably better off getting that outta me as opposed to....errr, the outcome of our friend Oroborous!

Ahhh, first show memories. With vomit.

Funny story! And early shipping.

I love a good vomit story. A friend got so drunk prior to a Stones show that he vomited and passed out thus missing the entire show!

Yes, if feasible, ship 'em out early!

3/13/81...a tale in the spirit of HF

Wow, hard to believe 39 years ago this evening....
Funny story about this one. First because I took the greyhound as I didn’t have a car yet and was just starting to break out of only going to somewhat local shows. Short of hitching, that was the only way I was going to get there.
In those days, shows were often GA and being young and fanatical as we were, that meant we usually tried to get up front on the rail. We aspired to be that front row dude in the dead movie, lol.
Utica was no different, but man what a shitty New York “spring” day; cold, damp, and wet...so being young and naive, I had the bright idea that I’d bring a bottle for folks in line to help pass the hours waiting until doors, and brace the chill etc...So after being talked into going for a big dinner, which cost me much of my little cash reserve, I snagged a big bottle of Seagrams 7 and Seven up, which was the nectar of choice with the hard rock band and crew I worked for...
I say naive because most heads weren’t that into drinking like that, at least not before a show. So there I am with this huge bottle and pretty much no one to share it with. Now in those days I could do some serious damage with 7/7 because I had a pretty good tolerance etc. But that big ol bottle was probably too much, or at least it would be later..
So they finally let us in and everyone starts the mad dash for the stage, and of course as I’m jumping over the boards to get on the floor Baracho falls over the edge lol. But being young and numb I bounce right back up and make it up front right in front of Jerry’s gear.
So all might of been good except Dave Homal starts firing up joint after joint, which if anyone remembers what Fabulous Furry Freak Brother Fat Freddie would say “getting drunk, then getting stoned is like pissing in the wind”.
So eventually the aud starts spinning and things are going south, but being the young, dumb, fanatic there was no way I was giving up that spot (idiot! I’m sure I could of gone off to the Lou and they would of saved my spot)
So no surprise I barf over the rail into that little space that there usually was between the stage and the wall, (so much for that expensive dinner!) then proceed to basically pass out sleeping slumped over the wall. Now the security was not pleased, and the young dudes next to me weren’t pleased, and I believe people were making noise about removing me which I was not going to do. Ironically, these guys got too high on acid and eventually one of them ended up having to get handed over the wall to security and removed, while I stuck it out.
I don’t remember much, but I do remember waking up because I could tell the lights went down, and of course there is nothing like that DH roar! So a minute or so later as I start to rejoin the living, just as I’m opening my eyes, Jerry comes around the corner and we make eye contact. He didn’t look much better than I did and I swear we had a moment there. I remember he had a blue or black long sleeve work shirt on and it looked like he’d burned a hole in the pocket. After, Fortunately I ran into Milton Wilkelberry Steamer from back home and he was going to stay with some folks he knew, so I was able to tag along and immediately crashed out. There was no way I was making it back home on the bus that night! Ah the tales of misguided youth!
Anyway, I used to think it was a so so show, but never heard it until a couple years ago when I discovered it was actually decent. In fact I think Dave has played it on Sirius or This day in GD history?
So, maybe not on par with Hendrixfreak stories, but I still get a chuckle!

Agree

As strange as this sounds, I was pleased the two shows on my calendar next week (wolf bros and Melvin's JGB) were postponed. It looks like Phil isn't turning 80 just yet either.. The spring that never was??

Kids are home from school... life is beginning to stop. Stay safe my friends.. play dead.

Wireless file sharing !? Thats next level. Much respect.

Theoretically I could use my MS cloud account, but I would need to pay extra for all the storage I would need. It would save the trouble of having to copy everything twice tho.

I'm starting to wonder if Mrs Deadguy actually writes the scripts for Mrs Cartoon Deadhead. "Gargle with Drano" and "drive into a bridge abutment at 100 mph" sounds just like her colorful phrasing.

I would NEVER forget her birthday tho. Its on the same day as Dave' Picks 3.

June 76 fixation

Hi all - it's been a long time since I posted. Just the way life has been... Given that June 9, 1976 is my favorite of the Road Trips series, and June 18, 1976 is my favorite of the Download Series, I guess I really had no choice but to order this June '76 box. Since it's my birthday, I could say to my wife: I don't want anything for my birthday except this box set. So everyone is happy :)

Good to see you all!

Oh, recent listening? I've been on a '70s Genesis kick lately: Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, Trick of the Tail, Wind & Wuthering, And Then There Were Three (underrated)...Long live Steve Hackett! Also early Morrissey solo albums. It took me until was 50 years old to realize that "Viva Hate" and "Vauxhall and I" are as good as the Smiths stuff.

RT 4.5 disc 2 vs. June '76 disc 11

I wonder if they with do anything to patch the soundboard cut at the beginning of 6-15-76 set II. For 6-9-76 (RT 4.5) they just did a fade in.

The beginning of St. Stephen on 6-15-76 sounds weird because Jerry transposes the beginning of the melody before deftly landing in the right key. 6-9-76 I wish they would have patched it with an AUD because it's the first post-retirement version of the tune.

Time will tell. Happy hump day dead land! :-)

Dennis/Stooges box set

Hopefully this compilation will include everybody's favorite romantic ditty "Cock in My Pocket".

Stooges box

Dennis....this Funhouse box has been tugging at my sleeve now since it was announced. It looks fantastic. I don't know!
Also, I have just sent you a PM re Wishbone Ash.

Big Brownie....alas "Cock In My Pocket" isn't included in this box. That was recorded by the next incarnation of the Stooges, with James Williamson on guitar. Definitely one of the peak moments of 1970s rock.

As for, "Funhouse" itself - one of the most incendiary albums ever made.

if we are going to talk about non-GD...

Nirvana "Bleach" will rock you good

Stooges "Funhouse" is a classic, except for that last track. I have never made it through to the end.

rogue dead guy

>>>>> I would NEVER forget her birthday tho. Its on the same day as Dave' Picks 3.

That really made me laugh out loud.

Yea

Me too.. but makes me feel for all those out there who's (husband) wife's birthday is not the same as their favorite show. Us mere mortals don't stand a chance.

I laughed out loud too..

Big Brownie and What's In His Pocket

Everything so gutter today, at least Little Feat kept it clean, he had a Rocket in his Pocket.

CaseyJanes LOL

Go forth, and Godspeed my good man. Might wanna slam another IPA real quick just to be 110% sure. :)

Just got tickets for Dead & Co this summer in "Detroit" (+/- 40 miles but who's counting) Any of you gonna be there?

Mrs Deadguy sends her regrets but she's gonna spend the day listening to every China/Rider in reverse chronological order while she goes on a tour of local bridges.

Bridge tour?

Probably should listen to those China->Riders backwards while on the tour.

What about a tunnel tour?

Here’s my Windsor Tunnel story:
While under the legal drinking age in MI, my friend and I were of legal drinking age in Ontario. Thus, a binge-drinking tour of Windsor, Canada was planned. We drank beer for the 3-hour drive to the Detroit side of the Windsor Tunnel, then removed empty beer cans from the car, poured about a 1/2 pint worth of OJ out of a half gallon container, then poured in a 1/2 pint of vodka. Shook the container well, entered the tunnel, pounded the Screwdriver, and emerged from the tunnel in Windsor with an empty OJ container. Proceeded to visit several bars and 2 strip clubs, mostly drinking Molson Brador Malt Liquor, and then returned to Detroit where we somehow made it through Customs. Got on a highway, pulled into the first rest area, and slept in the car.
I wasn’t driving and I don’t know how my driver pulled it off, although I was alert and warning him if he strayed from the lane.

Missed anniversary, but on it now

Since One from the Vault was Released...

In an un-scientific poll, the CD that i find myself listening to the most out of all the official releases, is........ Disc 3 from 11/11/73 Winterland 73 box.... Dark Star>Eyes>China Doll>Sugar Magnolia>Uncle John's... We Bid You Goodnight. Johnny B Goode... The Dark Star pulls me in every time.... Second place is Disc One from One from the Vault...... Disc one ... the intro into Help>Slipknot>Franklin's is just so good.. Music Eyes... if I had to choose a show that made me a Deadhead back in the 80's it's 8/13/75... bob t p.s. after I listened to 2/26/73 i put on 11/11/73 Disc 3 Dark Star!!!

mmmm...Listened to the most

First.. great place to spend some time, BobT. My cassette old, slightly hissy cassette was labeled the Make Believe Ballroom. I still remember the Bill Graham introduction like he is in the living room yelling it out right now.

Given this a lot of thought. I can't say what I have listened to most. If you count in the cassette (and I guess 8 track) years.. it's Louisville, Cornell & Buffalo, The Merriweathers and E72.

ICECRMCNKD

😂😂😂😂😂Ahhh Windsor tunnel shenanigans. Such a classic coming of age in MI experience.

Somewhere, there might still be a picture of me taken shortly before me and my buddy crossed back over after a CRAY-ZEE night in Windsor. I had the seat fully reclined, my hand over my eyes, and you can kinda see the puke on my shirt. The border guard was a little skeptical that we had just gone to "tour the campus".

We got back into Detroit, eventually, and we had to stop and pull over so I could puke on the street. Not the last time I christened the streets of Detroit.

Immediate family birthdays / official GD releases....

.....me? May 21st. Nada. Although i did catch one in person in Vegas '95. Wife? Jan 7th. Nope. Slow day in Deadland. Although 1.7.78 was one of the Jerry laryngitis shows (there's an inside joke there some where). My son? July 23rd. No. But that was Brents last show and the day Keith died. So there's that. Sister? March 14th. She got one. Landover '90. Spring '90 Box. Dad? September 27th. Stanley Theatre, Dick's 11. My mom though, hit the trifecta. August 27th. If you don't know that date, why are you here??

Puck drop....

....Golden Knights going for lucky seven in a row soon. Let's gooooooo!!

Ha..

I saw the GD once on my birthday. Surely that counts, right?
11/11/73 wowow stuff

Bdays & Borders

79 Buffalo, and second night of Rochester 85 turned into my Bday...GOOD TIMES!

Though I did not usually partake in “going to the Canadian Ballet” =(bunch of dudes renting a limo, going over the border into Fort Erie- “where by law we show it all”, drink many Molson Bradors, or XXX,= too much $ for my blood)...we did often zip up there to hit the Beer Store!
CANADIAN BORDER GUARD: “what’s your business in Canada”? our reply “Beer Store eh!”
AMERICAN BORDER GUARD: what was your business in Canada”? our reply “Beer Store eh!” AMERICAN BORDER GUARD: “Pop the trunk”....SLAM! “ok, have a good night!”
Man the world used to be a much kinder place....

That 70's show had a classic episode....

....of the gang going over the border for beer. Fez was questioned.
Knights up 1-0. End of the 1st.

Birthday show/ Winterland 11/73

I saw the Dead on 12/15/86, it was on my biirthday. It was Garcia's first show back after his coma. The Dead opened up with Touch of Grey, and when Garcia sang I Will Survive, that place felt like it was gonna blow! It was a good show all the way around. The Winterland 11/73 box set is absolutely fantastic. I enjoy it just as much as The Fillmore West or Europe 72 box sets. If someone doesn't have it they should really pick it up. My brother went to the first show of that run.

Billy The Kid....

....cool. That's a good BD show fo sho.
Knights up 3-0. 4:20 left. Ha!

BDay Shows?

6/10/73

STILL WAITING, MAN

Will this one EVER see the light of Day? Ask the Allmans, please.

Birthday Shows

Wife’s birthday went well except for the 3 hour board game with the in-laws after dinner...no music...we’re talking serious gamers these people. I can’t handle it!!! 3 more IPAs then I was ready to BIODTL.

My favorite birthday show is a classic 11/18/72, although I was born in 76. There’s also 11/18/78 from The Uptown.

Today’s listening is Sixtus Picks Volume 1...stumbled across this collection yesterday. Looks to be six volumes...makes sense!!!

Make it a good one Dead Peoples!!!

KCJ

Sixtus Picks XII?

Hey now CJ. Thanks for reminding me/us of the cool playlists Sixtus put together. The last one he did that I'm aware of was "Volume XI". Seems like he was threatening a Vol. XII for a while, but I missed it if it ever saw the light of day. What say Sixtus? VI x II = XII. The time is ripe. Onward.

Sixtus Picks

What!!! 12 volumes you say? Well then I appear to be six volumes short!

Links Long Lost

...how does one stumble across Sixtus' Picks anyway?? That's cool. I need to see if I can go find them now...I've lost the links to the ravages of time.

I'd need to look & compare what's up there vs. in my stack - the legendary series may have indeed gone beyond that which is currently offered...

BTW - where the heck is Chastason these days?
God speed my man, last I recall you were somewhere in Cambodia making a cool sounding documentary after setting up a forever host for some very Dead-esque collections.

Speaking of Seventy-Sixtus, just heard on Sirius that today's show at noon is 6/10/76. Niiiiiice. That's, like another BDay show....and on the brink of our collective lap.

Sixtus

Sixtus Picks Lives

Hey Sixtus, I do have v. XII after all. I just dug out a Track List of all twelve volumes, but not your links. The playlists I have on iTunes are all frankensteined together from tracks I already had plus the ones I didn't have and/or ones that you'd tweaked to "flow" into/out from the rest (different times/lengths). Great listening! Thanks again brother! Onward.

Dick's Picks 28 time

IMHO this is one of the best releases from 1973. It has everything I think need except Here Comes Sunshine. And of course weather report Suite came along later.
Even the audio is about as perfect as a two-track gets. Thanks for the reminder (I forget who it was, maybe Dennis or Alvarhanzo).

I don't know why I thought I feel compelled to listen on the anniversary date of shows. as if if the arbitrary calendar number is going to magically channel the Dead through my speakersAstrology - pah! Is it real?

I used to wonder about that myself. Thought it was a bunch of mumbo jumbo. A magical power holding together good and evil, the dark side and the light. Crazy thing is... it's true. Astrology. The Force, the Jedi. All of it. It's all true.

Just gotta poke around

It is amazing what one can stumble upon! By the way, happy to share the volumes I do have with anyone who wants them. Thanks to you Sixtus for putting them together! Towards the end of volume 1 now. Some really incredible jams mostly from early 70s era, also a 69 and a 90.

GarciaLive 13: 9/16/89 with Clarence Clemons

Due on April 3rd, but no info yet at jerrygarcia.com. This is the blurb from the amazon listing:
"GarciaLive Volume 13 features the Jerry Garcia Band at the Poplar Creek Music Theatre outside Chicago on 9/16/89. Alongside the band (J. Kahn, D. Kemper, M. Seals, G. Jones and J. LaBranch) Clarence Clemons (Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band) sits in on sax. On the final night of their longest and arguably finest tour, the band played repertoire favorites - such as the Garcia/Hunter composition "Cats Under the Stars" - and infrequent jams like "Let's Spend the Night Together" and "Someday Baby.""

Last 5-Thanks

Last 5:
Cannonball Adderley-Philly, 7/6/70
Nat Adderley Sextet-Soul Zodiac-Mike Deasy pulling an Eddie Hazel here and there.
Led Zeppelin-LA Forum-9/4/70
Grand Funk Railroad-Survival & E Pluribus Funk-C'mon, that counts as one!!
Grateful Dead-Dave's Picks 13-2/24/74-Why had it been SO LONG since I last played this?? Thanks to all who brought it up.

Music Is the best!! Marty Stuart tonight in VA-should be a great show.

Like a fool I missed it, and it strangled up my mind

JGB 9-16-89

I was in the lot picking up party supplies. I don’t think the show was sold out. My friend and I got our supplies and drove home.
Foolish kids.
I’ve regretted it for years....

If that show is Vol. 13, at least I get to finally hear it.

Beer store, eh

Sounds like it’s time to watch Strange Brew again.

Crack open an Elsinore.

2/27/69

Stumbled over Sixtus

Hey Jeff if you find Sixtus 7-12 let me know. I can store it in The Collection with the first 6.

Born Cross Eye and Annie

I just sent some Renaissance to somebody I know. Made me listen to Live at Carnegie Hall. Carpet of the Sun and Mother Russia. Hadn't listen to them in quite a while.

There used to be a place in Jersey called Club Bene. My buddy Bob once quipped Club Bene had two types of acts. Ones on their way up and ones on their way down. We saw Renaissance there, place held maybe 1,000. She did Carpet! I had a period where I saw stock plays there. They had a dinner/theater deal. You signed up for 12 shows. For less than 20 bucks, you got two "wedding' type dinners and the show. Couldn't beat that with a stick, even in 75.

unauthorized access

I finally made it here, I usually go to the recent posts part on the home page and click on one of the recent posts links to get here. Today, there wasn't any, too many escort service chicks trying to get laid and advertising as such. :) I tried to go thru the store and the header at top, but they both took me to a page that stated that my ip address was restricted and I was not authorized to access the site. Went through the backdoor to get here.
Lots of good talk about hard drives, I have 3 that are full of dead music, downloaded from etree or burned from my own cd collection, also some from lp's that I used audacity to extract, cool little program that lets you download music from lp's.
Last 5:
Randy California and Ed Cassidy, Adventures of Kapt. Kopter and Commander Cassidy in Potatoland, new 4 disc release some good live material on this one from back in 73.
Lucifer's Friend self titled
Alice Cooper Love it to Death
Leviathan self titled
Ten Years After Cricklewood Green
Next up Peter Gabriel OVO

thanks to all

for your kind suggestions regarding my dumping of iTunes and file storage...I regularly do back ups of back ups so that's all good...now to try and figure out my new Sony Discman that I purchased...

Far Out Stuff

Saw an interesting article on cnn today summarizing a Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs article on 3 cases of "LSD Overdoses". Turns out that 55 mg (that's not a typo, 55 miligrams) in a dose had a positive outcome for the individual in question, resulting in a reduction of chronic foot pain associated with Lyme disease. The other cases involved far lower doses, in one case a dose of 1 mg taken by a 15 year old diagnosed with bipolar disorder resulting in an apparent cessation of symptoms of bipolar disorder after the trip, and another individual at the same event who consumed about 500 mcg and subsequently discovered she was pregnant. The child born of that pregnancy did not suffer any ill effects through tracking to the age of 18 years. Interesting article, wouldn't mind reading the whole journal article.

Sixtus' Picks

Hey Dennis and anybody else that's interested: It may be a few days, but I'll upload Sixtus' Picks Volumes 1-12 (roman number notation confuses iTunes, etc.) along with a pdf of Sixtus' track listings. I'll post a link here once I get 'er done. Onward.

re: JeffSmith & The Share

Well done man.

Sixtus

P.S. Charlie3, interestingly, I picked up this book yesterday called: 'How to Change Your Mind, What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence'. Not that my own mind needs changing, but its an interesting perspective from the author who didn't even try psychedelics until his 60's, but based on the ongoing/current related research and potential benefits, how all of this information changed his perspective to finally take the proverbial plunge. It's an interesting read so far, and ties in with a lot of the other stuff going on contemporaneously. I also did see that story about the lady who accidentally ingested 500 times more LSD than she should have, thinking it was cocaine (not sure how that mistake happened, but...oops?)..it may have even been one and the same of the ones you had referenced...

I read that LSD story as well Charlie....

....crazy stuff.
Came home for lunch today with a package at my door. Sending address was from Kansas City. Opened it up, and lo and behold, KCJanes sent me some beers I've never heard of. Amazing. Thought he was joking when he said he was going to mail me beer. Thanks man. Never trust a prankster. Some Vegas beer heading your way with the bottle opener keychain when it arrives.

Morning Dew 2/27/77 Santa Barbara

I wonder if the other reels were damaged beyond repair or just not there in the returned reels!! Can anyone remember what Dave said when Swing was released? Good audience tape is available.. Time to break out the Fillmore West 1969 box and play a show or two. Always love the Mountains of the Moon>Dark Star transitions. bob t
