    shattered by the experience.

    First time was at the store one night, co-worker (read kid) says, hey, try? Sure, I say I'm a veteran of the smoke wars, I've burned it all, what the hell. Bathroom, bong and WOW. I stood at the counter just putting price stickers on stock, trying hard to be invisible to customers.

    Well that was then, this is now. Just like Carnegie Hall, it takes practice to master the concentrates :-) About all I smoke now. Great item for work since it has virtually no smell. But now I smoke it like it was just rolled product. Hard to beat a big hit off tall glass first thing in the AM,,,, know what I mean? :-)

    BTW,,,,, Glass 41 came yesterday,,,, looked very nice. (three more of these glassess and I think they'll look better that an axe!

    Thanks Oro

    That is kind of sad that I feel well enough nowto realize how sick I got.

    GreatStory,saw ur posts over on E72, thought of posting something there but then thought just wait till 42.

    As far as1988,did Miami, Pete, NO. It was a nice little run. More tomorrow.
    Hope all well your way. Jim talked about 10/15 might get some Phish listening instead. Ouch and Ha Ha!
    Sure hope it doesn't disappoint me.

    I love Phish,but still listen primarily to Dead related stuff.

    Need to go back and discuss stereo stuff.

    Am glad you guys are so deadicated.

    It’s a conspiracy lol

    Every time I get too busy, all kinds of stuff goes on here, it must be a conspiracy; )

    Shatter, or some super high concentrated stuff?
    This was more sticky/gooey and we just stuck a little on top.
    Well, one of the first times I tried it, I’m sitting on the couch with the other half who is not a partier, has never burned etc. So I felt like oh boy, think I’m gonna have to lay down (mind you I’m sitting on the couch) but didn’t want to freak her out. It’s one thing to be too high, but quite another dealing with a nervous civilian at the same time lol.
    So I had to say something or she’d freak out. Like, “I’m ok, just need a time out” lol.
    Yeah, that stuff was too strong. Definitely a “it’s only a drug, just have to ride it out” moment for sure.
    My grower guy at the time was passing out free grams. He actually snowboarded into this job site (he’s a programmer so only needed lap top in back pack) and started passing out free samples.
    So next day or so after all the folks working there who had by now tried it all saying similar funny stuff. Luckily nobody had been driving.

    10/9/89: it’s funny you mention that one. I was not tripping much in those days and hadn’t at those shows (unfortunately) but I remember coming out of the Hampton spaceship and feeling like I was tripping.
    Maybe contact buzz from sharing Js, but I don’t think so…interesting. Maybe they sprayed us like Shoreline 90?

    10/15/88: I’m behind again but I’ll put it on the list. I was at those shows and seem to recall having a good time but feeling the shows were sorta status quo? I’ll have to check them out! I know when I finally heard Miami years later I was kinda blown away, and the 15th does look good. The 16th might have been I was burnt by then so not feeling it?
    I also was just hanging out in the back…
    Thank god for the archive, I’ll have to check em out!
    Man that was a SCENE there in St Pete’s! It was wild how there was all that empty land down there and they basically let us take over. I fondly recall they put in out door showers with no curtains/covers and how nice it was parting at my buddies van watching all the cute lil DH gals getting neck-ed without any hangups!
    My buddy who was camped right by a shower had drove his Dark Blue van that had a giant turtle spare tire cover on it. Inside he had three large blue tanks of medipure gas! Which led to the ballon driving incident (already told so I won’t repeat)
    I can still see it: lounging in the warm beautiful FLA afternoon sun with plenty of killer Js, cold frosties and balloons just watching the girls frolic in the shower! Ahhh, such memories, Dead dreams to another land!
    ,
    Yeah, that trip was a gas, literally and figuratively. Three dead shows then a week of Golf and beach down in Naples.
    One of those you needed a vacation after your vacation!

    4/12/78: hit that a couple days ago. Definitely a good show, but perhaps slightly off for THAT tour?
    I haven’t checked em all out yet, but still feel like 4/15/78 (DaP 37), both Fox, especially 4/11/78, and perhaps 4/16/78 are tough to beat? Would love to hear others thoughts about this tour.
    Spring 78 has turned out to be a huge pleasant surprise for moi. With all complete Beatty’s in the vault you’d think there might be a box there, though the set lists are really repetitive.

    Also gave 4/2/82 and 6/9/92 the quick and dirty at work treatment.
    4/2/82 was decent, status quo for that tour which is really starting to grow on me!
    And boy 6/9/92 is damn near as good as the previous night, even without the big set list.
    That GOGD sure can pick em! Cool still finding good shows after 91.
    Have a great WE y’all!
    Good to see ya and hear your doing better Gary.

    I was at that 88 St. Pete show

    and it was a good one, lots of freaks, downtown closed down and camping all over the bayfront center and all around the venue. Lots of doses, goonies if I remember right. We were dosed pretty good for night one and the place was packed. Started the 2nd set with a cool little spacey thing, a great Crazy Fingers too. Lots of folks there for Bob's birthday the next night and we stayed up all night long celebrating Bob and the Good old Grateful Dead. Stayed at a hotel right next to the venue the first night, the hyatt if I remember right, the 2nd night I stayed at a motel down the road and I partied with strangers all night at the pool until the security guard came out and said "it's 3 am, don't you guys ever go to sleep?" big fun.

    Thanks again Jim and DeadVikes

    Think I am going to take your suggestion and listen to St.Pete(Tampa) Bayfront. Found the nice board you recommended. Cant wait to listen to again later today. Hard to believe that I have not been to Archive in 8 years or so. Since going official release and having Sirius GD channel, I am drowning in riches of my favorite band and music. As is known, I am a all era man. Bet this will be a delightful re-visit,maybe with the possibility of new discovery. Mind Blown.

    Real quick, back to the PigSmoke, I was actually perusing thru E72, looking for a E72 PigSmoke. Didnt see any on the disk set,so went to Deadbase,found there wasn't an E72 PigSmoke. A bit revelatory for me. So I stumbled on the March 25th date in the song list for Smokestack. Was floored that it was the Angel's private party with some friends. I may listen to that Smoke again before I put it up for now. It is such a sad statement to have Pig's last Smoke. Priceless Gold toMe.

    ooopshedoobby Im in tatters, shattered shattered. Yeah it is translucent amber colored, and it is potent. I have to write about last dose I took at my last show. I actually got right to the point of freakout and considered getting help and leaving the show. I took two small hits, like creeper, it expands once inhaled. I got so high and such a rush, I had to sit down, watch my friend work on a dragster (car). I sat down and told myself, "Self, this will pass in a minute." Only time THC rivaled a strong sugar cube (cube was 1989-10-9.)

    I will write about more of this stuff later.

    So glad I found my way back. I look at E72-50th and see so many fresh faces (to me) posting. Probably wont buy any of this,but you never know,my weaker side may prevail.

    Again thanks guys.

    So, now that the new season of the Deadcast is rolling along, it's sparked the fire for Europe 72! I've been grooving to the England shows (Bickershaw: 5/7/72 at this moment). Love it!

    I didn't notice this was a pick, I thought he was giving a shout out to Lemieux. Sure, I am in. I am getting boosted again tomorrow so some 88 might help me kick the blues away.

    I also missed the shatter reference. I've yet to try that. It's one of those concentrations they steer you towards a new device, but I hear you can break it up and put it over your weed like hash. I have also heard a few say, "it's too potent for me" Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

    I am easily distracted, sorry for that. Things will free up tomorrow, I am on the back nine. If I wasn't so cheap I would hire this stuff out instead of struggling but I get the feeling others would not do a great job.

    Hey Jim,
    We should give Gary's show a go, for tomorrow, 10/15/88. It looks like there is 2021 Miller transfer from Pearson/Healy.
    I am willing to give it a go. What do you all think?

    Me too.. especially during tax season.

    After April 15th, with the occasional E72 show.. I hope to be more active. Thanks to all for keeping the train a rollin'. GFar, we need a new infusion of shows and ambition, good to see some 80's and 90's love, nothing is off limits here. Feel free to push your own wish list. Pick a show, the worst that might happen is we listen to JGB or Phish instead..

    This thread seems to have taken the life of free jazz.. people come and ambitions flow and ebb.. in the end, someone suggests a show and so it is. Thankfully, there has been great cooperation and very little hate.

    and do it is.

    I do have a tax question, if there are any accountants out there. If you throw your wife's cigar box full of tax receipts out the window and nobody hears it hit the ground, did it really exist?

    Thanks. Was a bit confused about #42. Know that will be a doozy. Cant wait.

    Been in 80's and 90's for a while as I tweak stereo. The clarity of #40 is amazing, some good jammin also. #40 really shows clarity and shows how good the sound was. Incredible advancement. Buddy Guy had really good sound but didnt compare to the last shows I saw, and that was 33 years ago. Bear/Dan (and all others) really pushed sound way beyond what most engineers understand today. Wow.

    Generally the commando days are long gone. As with many other things... might have bought my last ounce as medical now legal here, but probably not.

    Anybody else heard of "shatter?"

    G

    And I too remember the long gone days of European import beer, now in my hometown we have 5 brewers and they are very good, Still, for now, Newcastle is my choice for a splurge,

Please give the date of the show, not just the release identifier.
My shows are organized by date.
Thanks.

Edit:
Just figured out what DP22 is. I listened to those shows a few weeks ago and so will pass.

....got the Galaxy S20+ at the beginning of March. My old phone was circa 2014. Was time for an upgrade. Came with an early order credit of $150. Used that towards Buds+'s. Testing them now during 2.23/24.68 Tahoe. Not bad.
Then I heard about all the 5G shit. Can't win for losing i guess.

RT 3.1. Fun to revisit this one - been a long long time. Totally forgot that it had that awesome Terrapin > Playing. BITD I had a cassette from a friend who labeled it "Terrapin > Playing > Jam > Yikes!!" At one point it seems like Brent was channeling his inner Ned Lagin (fully approve!)

Looking forward to visiting Santa Fe later today. Never given that legendary show a deep listen. Anybody got rec as to what source? Notice that there's an Usborne matrix.

Pick of the day reminds me of a college literature class - 4 days in and it feels like already a week behind. Tahoe is gonna have to wait.

Wichita - real bounce in their step whole show. I think '72 is my favorite "era" for Other One. Some really great Keith piano in there. Always sweet when they drop from one of these into some slow heartfelt beauty like Brokedown. When are we gonna get 9-28-72?

Stoked, unfortunately have to make a death run first; ACE for varnish, and PO. Don’t ya know almost finished with more book shelves for Lovey and I’m out of Varnish, Doooaahh! At least it’s pre-order curb side. PO I’m afraid I might have to go in and stand in line for a package (clothes for her, to go to a wedding, that we already dropped non refundable mucho dineros, that were probably not going to be able to attend).....
But I’ll be firing that up this afternoon once I have the goods....going to try the Siemens matrix. Never been as enamored with SB recordings as most. I feel there is nothing like a good matrix, more natural sounding....

Opens with Music Never Stopped. Bobby botches half the lyrics, but, as usual, the boyz make up for it with a smoking end jam.
TLEO follows. Jerry and Brent in SYNC!! Thats my wedding song btw. 20 years strong!
I really, really dig these two shows.

....to end the first. Storm clouds were rolling in and rumor has it, this show had one of the longest set breaks of all time. Waiting for the weather. Pics show that they didn't have a covering over the stage, just the rigging (see my avatar). The China Rider segue is bopping!! Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

Music, holy crap, energy of a set 2 opener; TLEO, nice pace mellow and jammy; Esau, it's nice; Big RR and BIODTL fast songs didn't work here(maybe a Bird Song or Row J.); Tenn Jed back on track; Minglewood, smoking; China>Rider rockin' nice transition, wish I was a headlight...

Woman R, nice energy; Cumberland, foot stomping, Phil bombs; Playin, really nice jam; China Doll, beautiful; Jam Drums, Space really great; TOO, trembled and exploded; GDTRFB, OMSN, rockin'; CR&S the only time they encored with CR&S.

For the record, the fact that there is a second set Cumberland with bombs never swayed my opinion of this show. 😜

Had some family issues to deal with the last couple days, so I'm behind a bit. Halfway through RT 3.1, hope to get through the rest of that one and Santa Fe by tomorrow morning. Kinda fun listening to shows that haven't been in the rotation for a few years. SO much good stuff - we are blessed indeed!

....the only ballad in the second set was China Doll. Albeit played at 1.5× speed, the outro jam is delicious. More Lost Sailor teases from Bobby during space with a dash of Heaven Help The Fool.
At the 9:10 mark they finally decide on The Other One. 9:10 mark. I still don't believe in coincidences. Cool Space.

One of the high points of my life. Turbo Tom drove down from Kiowa, Montana , picked me up where I was living north of Taos and we made our way to the Santa Fe Downs. We camped next to the parking area where the Hog Farm was helping out. The Sikhs were security (Akal Security) for the Downs. Both days were amazing. And it was harvest season. The two shows were far from sold out. Many of the old guard long hairs from northern New Mexico were in attendance. Just thinking about those two concerts is like a memory from the Golden Eternity.
I’m most of the way through the first set. Earbuds , iPhone and cell tower signal up in the mountains to access this.
Great call V-guy 72!

....they played three shows there. These two, plus a one off in '82. On off as in no tour. 13 song first set if I recall correctly. Just decided to pop into Santa Fe. Plangent it and box it and ship it.
I'll pay $99.99 US dollars.
Alaska would work too. I'll pony up three moose pelts.

When I moved down from Montana in January 1982 I lived ten miles north of Taos on north Hondo Mesa in the “kiva” in the Grow-hole. (Built by the alternative school the Taos Learning Center TLC in the early 70s) Lived in a tipi and then the “Pyramid Cube” on El Salto Mountain for the next five years. Spring of 1987 I moved to Grant County and worked trails in the Gila. Also have worked many years up in Gallup. (Trail work and Public Radio)
Another side bar on the Santa Fe Dead shows. The state penitentiary is just a couple miles from the Santa Fe Downs. Bobby Petersen (Unbroken Chain, Pride of Cucamonga) arranged with the authorities at the prison to transmit a low wattage FM signal live broadcast direct from the Downs. Bobby used to live on Lama Mountain up in Taos County not to mention Robert Hunter spent time living on Canyon Road in Santa Fe in the 60s and visited Taos at different times. And contrary to rumors , the Dead did not play at New Buffalo Commune in the 60s. I asked one of the founders last summer , Rick Klein who helped start Buffalo in 67 that very question. Not the Dead but the Eagles played at New Buffalo. Also Laird Grant (Jerry’s longest time friend) used to live at Morning Star above Arroyo Hondo.
The skies are the most consistently clear of pollution day after day for the past three weeks than for the better part of the past 40 plus years. And I’m talking the mountain west.

Be well people.

Did you catch the Shakedown Stream?
Pretty cool. Dave, can't sit still. He mentioned 50-70 or so high quality video in the Vault from 89-95. Intriguing to me, not sure if they will put any more of it out, but I would love to see it. Man, how about putting out the Spring 90 Tour on video? I would volunteer to help out on that project.

Been working in the garage last few days and the energy from both DP 22 and 9/10/83 has made things fly by!
Gave Santa Fe another listen last night because I was diggin it and wanted to give it a better listen than the first time. Great 83 show, fun, spirited show with interesting sets. Might just give the next night a spin today while I work.
Guessing perhaps partially why that China-rider is in overdrive might be due to the deluge that was obviously happening as Bob says something like “we’ll be back when it stops raining”. I might contribute the pace solely to “other” things except it’s not like all the songs were that fast and it wasn’t right after break? So to go from normal 83 tempo to warp drive just then, and since they didn’t have full canopy etc, makes me think they were trying hard to get the fug outta there lol.

China Cat Sunflower / I Know You Rider had me dancing in the dark last night. Gonna listen to the second set today. You know, land of manana , New Mexico stylie. Damn this is a long set break!

May I make a suggestion inspired by Bolo's idea? I think a "Pick Of The Week" is more workable. I think one person should make the selection and at the same time designate the next picker. So on Monday let's say JiminMd makes a pick and names the next picker who will announce his pick the following Monday and the next picker etc etc. Hey I know I'm in social isolation at least through May and I think Bolo's idea is great but it needs some structure. I also know I've been drinking and I have no idea if anything I've said makes any sense. Also I just finished 4/11/72 and I think it's probably the weakest show of the tour.

That appeals to me a bit more. I am still following my own unplanned trail through shows, so the pick of the day was on top of what I was already listening to. The result was I got left behind straight away and decided to drop out. A weekly pick would obviously give us more time, and wouldn't intrude on where we feel we are supposed to go.

Looks like I have 9-10,11-83 on a HD but they haven’t migrated to my music player yet. Might do that later today, but first yard work calls.

For my easy-listening, coffee-drinking routine to get today going I went with 10-10-80 Acoustic.
But that just finished.

So onward with 1-24,25,26-69 % which is compiled from the AOXOMOXOA-50th bonus disc, AOXOMOXOA-Golden Road Box filler, and a portion of Live Dead. Such things are possible with my collection because I organize by show date, not by the arbitrary order that shows are released.

I think we only had 3-4 picks last week. Now that we are through the Holiday, maybe we could get back at it. Seems like every other day is doable for most. Either way we need a new pick from someone. I already had one last week. Would like us to stick to official releases. Just my thoughts.

Be well people.

12-2-73, part of DP14

The remainder of DP14, 11-30-73%, can also be done as extra credit.

Not like I’m a regular here, but did jump in at (under)ground level. 50 year anniversary , 30 Trips around the Sun. Winterland. What’s not to love. “ let me hear you say; WAAAAA!!”

Just started :)

I've always preferred this part of the pick to the 11/30 portion (which isn't to say the first part is any slouch!) I think a part of it is that "Morning Dew" always seems to work better as a closer than an opener, at least for me. The second disc of this portion (or disc 4 of the set,) is just exactly perfect!

Happy Listening!

EDIT: Oh yeah, this is the show where Phil hassles the guy in the audience - "Who are you? The heat? Someone shine a light on this guy..." Kind of a jerk..

Peace

I had to take a break for some work related conference calls just as Weather Report was moving into Let it Grow, but I picked back up and am now into "Nobody's Fault" jam territory. This was a great release of a great show! As I mentioned, I prefer this one to 11/30, but I think I will have to def. go back and hit some of those highlights (maybe all of disc 2,) after this.

That being said, it is really hard to beat this second set, that though very short, contains some FAR OUT there stuff... Wharf Rat, Playin, He's Gone, Truckin, Stella, Dew - all heavyweights in my all-time favorite GD tunes list.

Good choice, IceCream!

Peace

(EDIT: Whoops, I forgot 1/2 Step - another gem!)

Matrix of 12/1/73 - the show Dick forgot.

https://archive.org/details/gd1973-12-01.124132.mtx.dusborne.flac16/gd7…

It's got a "Sugaree", a "China>Rider", and a "Playin'>UJB>Playin'" - and so far, this Matrix sounds pretty darn good. I've never listened to this show, so it's a treat :)

I suppose this is for those students that not only want extra-credit, but are looking to write a master's thesis, or simply polish them apples into a 110%.

Peace

EDIT: After LLR, Phil says to the crowd "Be quiet over there, can't you see our piano players trying to tune up?" Seriously, what crawled up his %%# during this run?
