    Brent’s last.
    Wow, 32 years ago.

    I went to the 21st and 22nd (my 3rd and 4th) shows, but hadn’t bought a ticket for the 23rd because it was a Monday and I had to work. Of course, and I’ve told this story before, just like others had done before me I called in sick from a pay phone at a rest area. No way was I going to get home in time.

    I have this show on DVD, think I will dig it out and give it a spin tonight and offer a beer toast to Brent.

    Picks

    While we wait for other picks, I went with Maples Pavilion today, 2/9/73. Not a new show but there is a 2020 Miller out there and it sounds outstanding. Such a good show and you get the first Eyes!
    Maybe Dave will release this one next year? Who knows, it would be great.
    Get it out!

    Hey rockers!!!

    Pick of the day: Paramount Theater, Seattle July 21, 1972

    LOL somebody beat me to the punch yesterday, but since I write these years in advance, here we are & here we go......

    It was to be expected that there would be an energy dip after the white-hot brilliance of the Europe 72 tour……………

    Here is a nice little show that one never hears about, most was officially released as part of the download series back in February of 2006. Has it really been that long????

    OK, not classic by any stretch of the imagination, but it ain’t chopped liver either. If you were jonesing for some Dead, this would ease the pain. Plus, the official release included some choice filler from the following evening----Garcia channeling his inner Hank, Bobby going all jammy, plus nice versions of Bird Song, Morning Dew, Uncle John’s Band, and Saturday Night.

    Lord, if it has to be mellow, let it be like this…………….

    Love is a sacred reserve of energy; it is like the blood of spiritual evolution…..

    Rock on,

    Doc
    I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.........

    Man, OB, you really are an overachiever with getting in those three shows yesterday. The 87 30 Trips show is always a good one to listen to, it is fun. Audio quality is decent. The 77 30 Trips show is good but has never really struck me as great, but that is what makes this all so interesting. You never knew what you would get.
    7/21/72 from the Download Series was one that surprised how good it was the first time I listened to it. Sound quality is really good and performance is outstanding. Sugaree, BTW, Cumberland to start. I like these early versions of Stella Blue. You get Bob with the first WRS prelude after Casey Jones that he stops a few minutes into it. Solid second set, He's Gone Truckin, big Other One. Great show.

    I still wish they would release all these download series shows on CD as well as the RT Download shows from 11/5 and 11/6/79. They are already mastered and ready to go. Why not? More music.

    Hey Conekid, sounds like you are well stocked for a while. You should try Bell's Octoberfest this year, another fine Bell's Beer they put out in August and September.

    Stocking up on Oberon

    DV,
    the beer store I go to recently got a stack of 12-packs, 2 per cardboard tray, that were canned on 6/19. I bought 4 cases so far and am going to get more before it’s gone. Store it in my basement so it doesn’t get too warm. I’ll keep buying and maintaining the stash of 4-5 cases until it’s gone. I can usually make it to Oct/Nov until I have to switch to something else.

    7/21/72 check

    Sorry Conekid, no Alpine. That’s probably good as I don’t want to watch that one too much, burn it out.

    After the solid status quo 7/18/72 (though that DS was fine!), the magnificence of 11/8/69 (see Jim’s synopsis), and listening more to new jazz, lately, went big today!

    I had heard the 87 Boxilla once I think, so it was nice to get reacquainted. Seemed to build as it progressed. With a fun GL>Bamba>GL, Bamba sung by JG in Espanol no less! Forgot how they made GL fresh again paring with Bamba etc.

    4/25/77 I had not heard yet. Another that seemed to build with sweet Terrapin Playin etc. Not your usual 77 Playin?

    Then back to 72 with a looonnnggg show! Can’t recall anything really jumping out one way or another, so yet another “status quo” show. Oh, cool attempt at what might be the first of WRS Prelude. DB lists 11/19, but this is at least an attempt lol. Summer 72 kinda uncharted for me, so nice to check some out. But next time I think it’ll have to be just one show lol.
    ONWARD!

    But let me see if I have 7/21/72, I don’t think I have that one?

    Enjoyed 7/18/72 Doc, great show. Agree the recording is not pristine but still good.

    How about a pristine 72 recording. 7/21/72 from Seattle? I believe this was from the Download Series #10. Let me know if there is any interest in this one.

    Keep that Oberon flowing Conekid, I don't think it will be around too much longer this summer.

    What..

    Holy crap, what a great second show (run). I wish I was there. I caught 87 and 88 but circumstances beyond my control prevented me from seeing 89 and by 90.. tail between my legs, I had to rejoin the human race. When I started working in 1990, people still wore suits and ties to work and they had just yanked cigarettes and ashtrays from offices. The Chainsmokers will still quite pissed off about that. Remember those days?

    Oro.. what a divine pick 11/8/69 was. When I heard that one tossed out, I tried like hell to fit some fungal shenanigans into the mix, but I could not pull that one off this week. Holy cow what a great show. No wonder Dick held it in such high regards. My memories (I don't hit this one often) were a great show but the recording lacked. On this listen, I thought the recording sounded remarkably good. The first set was much better than what my grey matter tried to tell me, that jam towards then of Schoolgirl for instance, just kept on giving. Pigpen, 13 years of age? It's getting harder and harder to forgive you man, but we love you.

    Easy Wind, .. the China Rider was great, especially for the era - they were dialed in and gave us a great, early transition jam. High Time, even the Good Lovin was great and that one is not always on my greatest jam vehicle list. It's got a Cumberland. But the goodies were in the last 90+ minutes of the show. The Dark Star sequence (Dark Star/The Other One/Dark Star/Uncle John's Band Jam/Dark Star/St. Stephen/The Eleven/Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)/Feedback/And We Bid You Goodnight) is one for the ages. There must have been something in the water (or coffee pot).

    In fact, this paired up with Alpine 89 are two very high water marks in my humble opinion and to have them come up in the same thread at the same time is powerful juju.

    Wowwow stuff

This 91 show is a real gem! Thanks for posting the link VGUY, I don't have Boxilla, but this Matrix sounds sweet!

Wrapping up Set 1 now! That Cassidy got DEEP! High Time was another highlight, but this has been an overall excellent listen!

Set II of Nashville yesterday went about as I expected. I enjoyed the energy of the LL>Supp opener, I'm always a sucker for Must Have Been the Roses, and then I admit I got a little lost in the Estimated jam, which does seem to just meander around. The Eyes is speedy, which is not my favorite type, but it was ok, then Drums, which in 78 is almost always too long, NFA, Wharf Rat (late set highlight) Sugar Mags, OMSN - all fine versions, but not too exciting. I think I do like this pick slightly more than DaP7 - Normal, but I agree with GOGD, it was nice to dust this one off, but I think it'll get popped back on the shelf for a while.

Also, Good Ole - I am planning on checking out that 4/22/77 show - I just DL'd it and I think I will cue it up after DiP12, though I know that one so well I may just pop in for some highlights (of which there are MANY!)

Loving this new board! Good vibes all around!

Gotta go - they just opened set II with Help On the Way!

Peace

...er, a, I can’t keep up! The posts, the POTDs, pant, pant, this is becoming like a job....so I’ve had to miss a few. That’s ok, I didn’t need to hear some of those.
Did dig the JGB live, always a favorite. Top shelf all the way; Audio, tunes, and the band is definetly peak period.
DPs 12: yeah, haven’t heard this one much, prolly too much other competing new stuff to constantly chase? But I’ve always loved this one. I don’t necessarily mind some of the chopped picks when their sort of sequential and/or make sense flow wise. Don’t dig the “cut up” method.
9/10/91: this will be next fo shure, whenever that might be! I might be a couple a few Mississippi Halfsteps behind, but I’m with ya! Rock on folks!

Yeah, I was bored.

I wanted to see how the audio spectrums reacted to Slipknot!

Thanks for watching!

Good show with B. M. Love the Shakedown opener, C.C Rider is good and that Dylan song was different. Help, Slip, Franklins was strong as well for that era. Definitely a change of pace. Thanks.

I think we owe FourWinds a pick?

Morning!

Alright, got some good stuff peaking out here today. Nice Work You All!

FOURWINDSBLOW picks 10/22/71 & 10/21 Filler - Gonna Jam That

Also Mentioned: 04/29/80 - The Famous “Fixable Foot” show! (Wink, wink, nod, nod BOLO & Haha @Zomby Wolf)

Recorded by none other than famous Taper Joani Walker.

I’ve got a lot of tapes with her name on it as the source, not just the shows she recorded, but lots of 1st Generation SBDs!

It’s an honor to spin one of her recordings this morning.

And if this Jack Straw is any example of where this show goes… hold on to your hat!! WOW!

You’ve done it again people, another good day to listen to the Dead:)

Yea bolo..

Didn't show your work, …… No Prize For You!

Now that I see the show, the clues were so obvious. Fixable Foot. Fixable, seven letters, 4/29/80 was the seventh performance of 1980

01/13/80- Oakland Coliseum Arena - Oakland, CA
03/30/80- Capitol Theater - Passaic, NJ
03/31/80- Capitol Theater - Passaic, NJ
04/01/80- Capitol Theater - Passaic, NJ
04/05/80- NBC Studios - New York City, NY
04/28/80- Boutwell Auditorium - Birmingham, AL
04/29/80- Fox Theater - Atlanta, GA

Foot. This involves a little history of the Fox Theatre. You see, when the theatre was built, the owners also purchased the “Mighty Mo”, the 3,622-pipe Möller organ or Foot Organ, "that remains the largest Möller theatre organ in the world even today. "

So simple.. of course, the fixable foot show. I can't believe we missed this. I am going out to amazon right now and ordering some of those processed from jellyfish memory enhancement pills. This sheltering in place stuff is making us all weak.

Have a good day all.

BOLO24.. @JIMINMD should get some kind of consolation prize?

Reading that made my morning.

So impressed.. and this Fox 4/29/80 show is good!

I think Jerry partied on the set break though, he seems to have forgotten some of the words...
but he still knows how to play and PITB Jam is super Cool sounding!

Thanks @JIMINMD for showing me how it's done!

9/10 a elegant show played very loud,
6/28 a rockin' show played very loud.

hahaha

Listened to the first few songs last night. That MNS starts off clunky but then really picks up. From what I heard last night it sounds more like an 84 than an 83. Will finish the show today.

While listening last night I remembered that a few days earlier I realized that I have video of that show. It’s partial and includes a few songs from 9/4. It’s a VTS folder which is used for burning DVD-R’s, but the file can also be mounted on a computer desktop and viewed that way.
If anyone wants a copy let me know, I already uploaded it to Google Drive.

Jim's answer is better - that took some work (and a slightly unhinged thought process - I like that!). I agree, he deserves a consolation prize, just for including the umlaut in Möller! Jim - send me your address and I'll shoot something your way.

OK, here's the original solution. The only two-word anagram for Fixable Foot that uses all the letters is Lifeboat Fox. A quick Google search would show that Oscar-nominated "Lifeboat" was the only film made for 20th Century Fox by Alfred Joseph Hitchcock. And, of course, Sir Hitchcock met his demise on April 29, 1980. But not at Atlanta's Fox Theater - he left in disgust after Jerry had that major brain fart during Terrapin Station!

Bolo24 - Amazing & Funny in one post.. Nice Work!

VGuy72 - Gotta Love a Good Editor!! Thank you, Edit made.
My thoughts on Don't Ease & Passenger Exactly!
BTW Nice work keeping up on the Avatars, I'm enjoying that. Well Done

FOURWINDSBLOW - I think that Jack Straw is ultimately the best song played that night, SMOKER!
And Nice Pick... Anything '72 will do..
Lemieux sounded like '72 is essentially his favorite year, I mean I'm reading between the lines in his comments, but yeah.. that's what it sounded like.

And this 10/22/71 is sounding super GOOD, I love a '71 Black Peter, might be my favorite year for that song.. not sure about that.

This is fun you guys!

No harm, no foul, no worries :) Dave's 3 is one of my favorite of the series!

I really tried to get Bolo's game, but after seeing the rationale, I was not on the same plane of reasoning. Would have never gone the Hitchcock direction. I did originally get Fox Theater though!

So, is Bolo's "Fixable Foot" show, 4/29/80, today's pick?

Peace

Edit: It looks like the answer to my question is "yes." Firing it up now! Happy Friday, DeadLand!

Ditto on FOURWINDSBLOWS post

I think you said it perfectly yesterday -

Loving this new board! Good vibes all around!

And I gave special attention to SOTM yesterday in your honor :)

....but you are savage sometimes with these contests. (Lifeboat is a great movie btw). 4.29.80 is the pick of the day. I missed the Dave's 3 pick, so that will be next so i can ketchup.

laguna seca 5.9.87. Touch of grey video shot that night. Dog took drummers leg/foot. Roadie put it back.
That was my first one.
Googled fixable foot. Brought me to club feet. A foot is 12 inches. Club Twelve. A non-profit. Which happens to reside in San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio Civic Auditorium. 11.12.71.
That was my second one. I, apparently, need to think outside the box (of rain) more often for these.

Mind Blown... Just Think!

Wow... I do it for free, I'd def do it for money.. but even BETTER!

@VGUY72, @OTIS @FOURWINDSBLOW, etc.. Dave's 3 is the SICK!

Early Comes A Time.. so good, extra verses, Jerry's reading of it, gots to be my favorite year for that song. So much good on this here release..

I'm glad this came on today cause it sounds just exactly perfect!

My 1st was 10/29/85 - Anagrams of Fox (Theater) and TOO - this show is at the Fox, has an Other One, and a Brokedown Palace (ref. something "fixable.") Also, the first set was cut short due to technical difficulties, another "fixable" problem.

Second guess was Lyceum 5/26/72 - It is the show that TOO was taken from to make-up the "Epilogue/Prelude" sections of the original E72 Lp, which prominently features a foot in need of fixing on the cover. I went this way after Bolo's comment that I needed to "go a little bit further" than I had before, so I went across the Atlantic.

Now I see that both guesses were woefully simple. Still, a fun game!

As to today's show - this raging Passenger is a perfect follow-up to that gorgeous Peggy-O! Another day, another great pick!

Peace

Just wait til' you get to the "Dark Star>Sitting On Top of the World> Dark Star>Bobby McGee"! One of the best segments of any Dave's Pick so far, in my (very) humble opinion.

Glad you're digging on it! Forensic Doc's love of 71 inspired me to check it out more, and now it is one of my favorite years for the band.

Peace

Can't wait, 10/22 Rocked!

Early Keith TIFTOO Kills.. It's unreal that he'd just joined the band.

Hitting up 10/21 after lunch, can't wait!

'71 is special
One of my first bootlegs was 4/29/71, I played it to death.
When I got back into collecting Dead after a long break, I got a hold of that Houseboat RT release and the China > Rider brought tears to my eyes as I realized what I'd been missing.

It's not my go to year cuz there's just so many other great years.. but it'll always be special to me!

What a Year, What a Show, What a Band!

....i think i speak for all of us that we would have all been a sweaty mess. Nice Playin' jam in that second set too. I give this show 7.2 goonie birds out of 10. (if you went to shows in '88-'89, you know what i mean).

I got a Goonie Bird at my first show in '86.. It was totally Goonie, I wasn't sure if what I was seeing was real or not.

I agree.. that Bertha is full on!

Man, seeing a show. Those were the days.

I think it's a young persons game, but I was young and dug it!

Hi-Five!

You beat me by 2 1/2 months, went to Riverbend 6/30/86 shortly after my 16th birthday:)

I remember going into the place it looked like an amusement park or something, again I was having trouble trusting what I was seeing, it was super hot and there was tie-dye everywhere and that goonie bird..

I can't remember a lot of things, but I've got some memories from that day that I always smile about.

There was a running dialogue all day I kept picking up on. It went something like:
Man it's Hot Out, You got your ticket?, It's Gonna Be a Good Show.. Man it's Hot Out, You Got your ticket? It's Gonna Be a Good Show..

I'd check my pockets every time. It's funny what you remember.

EDIT: Supplication Jam > Let It Grow!! You lucky Dog You!

I was at this show, soundboard was taking up our reserved seats so they pulled out some nice padded chairs and put us right at the soundboard. I would have never guessed this was the pick. 2 word anagram, was that part of the clue? Missed that. What I remember (almost 40 years now) about this show was the Jack Straw opener, always loved a Jack Straw opener, got the crowd into it right off, the Passenger being really good, but I'm bias, I've always loved that tune. The second set with Don't ease as the opener, we all looked at each other and went "odd", the Lost Sailor>Saint being very nice. Of course the most remembered part was the awesomeness of the Fox Theatre itself, what a beautiful place and the planetarium ...wow, the sun went down the band came on, it got dark, the stars came out and we went to space and the band played on as the dawn approached, all inside that beautiful theatre. I do believe it is the nicest venue I have ever seen a band at, early 20th century decor, that carpet and those drapes, those bathrooms with the attendant, just so cool. Maybe not the best dead show, but I will never forget it. I've got the ticket stub around here somewhere, sparkles on the Grateful Dead lettering, if I find it, I'll post a pic of it.
