My first west coast Grateful Dead concerts
17 in 71.
Happy Birthday Bob T or happy bob day birth-t
August '71 = The Dead having Fun
Hot Summer Dead
I'm still shaking my head over this 8/14/71 tape, Holy S#!@
Phil & Jerry are just locking in throughout, esp during The Other One & NFA > GDTRFB.
Even the tried and true #s get a work out.
Alright time for the next night.
And young Strider journeys West and was there for both, lucky duck.
Quack! Quack!
Happy Birthday Bob T, since you listened to 8/15 yesterday, my Bday gift to you is 8/14, Enjoy! ;)
Thanks for the nice comments!!!
Thanks again everyone, and yes i listened to 8/14/71 last night after finishing 8/15!!! Bob t
BobT, SS 6/19/20, and box
BobT: Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!
Shakedown Stream 6/19/20: does anyone recall what show that was, and was 4/22/20 (6/11/93) the first one?
Can’t seem to source it...I bet GOGD knows!
BOX IDEA: Dane County; Kinda like the Giants box...
2/15/73 (Dark Star, HC Sunshine)
10/25/73 (Dark Star, Mind Left Body, HC Sunshine)
2/3/78 (DPs 18)
2/4/79 (Probably no tapes)
12/3/81(Good set list)
6/24/83 (H,S,F, Dew, good set list)
Ok, so possibly 4 shows...I’m not familiar with the performances of the last 3, but it looks good on paper....
8.15.71....
....Big RXR opener. Good sign.
Oroborous with the win. If they don't name it the Grate Dane box with a derpy dog on the cover, opportunity lost.
Edit. 8.14 & 8.15 both have Cumberlands!! Sold!
Shakedown Stream dates
Started 4/10 with Truckin’ Up to Buffalo, followed by GD Movie and 6/11/93 on 4/24/20. 6/19/20 was an off week, they did 10 in a row and took that week off.
Nice box idea, I’d like to see 2/9 & 2/15/73 released for sure. Honestly they should release this 8/14/71 show, it’s hot! 8/15 is good too… but I think I like the 14th better. Might have to listen again ;)
Aw Reet!
Dane County 2/15/73 Set II....
Heading there right now... Can't hear Dane County without thinking of this show... Two Dark Stars in 8 months in Madison Wisconsin in 1973.......... bob t
Bobtorrent, happy b-day
Speaking of 2-9,15-73, I did my every 2-3 month visit to bt.etree to check for new/upgraded material (Mr. Charlie has been productive during quarantine) and I believe that those were included in the shows I got.
Also, Alaska ‘80 all three shows as one torrent was there.
Vguy, Sam Boyd 92 was also there.
Didn’t read the fine print on each show to see what has been fixed, or if it is a new source, etc. Will do that later, just grabbing the data now.
2-15-73
Yes - there was a solid Charlie Miller upgrade to 2-15 in last few months - i was checking it out on the Archive in first day or so after it was uploaded. i think this is the same on relisten. don't do etree but maybe its time for a select few.
https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1973/02/15?source=223918
1st 2 tracks on this source are from the soundcheck i think.
Stuff
GOGD: tanks! I knew you’d know. Forgot they went back that far, and that 6/19 was off......senior moment!
VGUY: The Grate Dane! Perfect, there ya go Rhino, marketing, art, and music....
easy with that fire though, 20K plus rager (Grizzly Creek Fire) parts only about 15 miles upwind as the crow flies....not gonna see the sun from my back door anytime soon! This year just keeps kicking my ass! Pray for rain por favor!
Re: Grizzly Creek Fire
Holy Crap.. Fire on the Mountain > Looks Like Rain? Just checked this out, looks horrific. Be safe man...
New Years will have special meaning this year.
this morning's personal pick
going through discs and realized it had been years since I'd listened to the Dave's 2012 Bonus Disc from Cap Centre 7/29/74. so that's where I'm at right now. maybe this got covered earlier as a pick and i missed it.
Oro - good luck over there. personally familiar with how freaking dry the SW Colorado mountains are right now. no mushrooms anywhere. scary in terms of fire potential. hoping for some containment on Grizzly and Pine Gulch. lots of smoke drifting in here - probably from California fires but maybe northern Arizona or west of state.
Crap Centre Bonus Disc
I did this a couple weeks ago.. classic.
What's in store for tomorrow? Still light on work, starting a carpentry project so good long jams are in order..
Today's Pick 5/14/74
How about 5/14/74, Dave's Picks #9?
Lost my Mom late last week, it has been a tough time and the virus doesn't help in all aspects.
Be well folks.
Deadvikes....
....in this world of trouble, we got to love one another. Stay strong my man.
I'm going to throw out a random pick of the day today. 9.28.76. Onondaga County War Memorial. Syracuse, NY.
https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1976/09/28/cold-rain-and-snow?source…
Whoops! Looked like I picked Dicks 20. Onward!!
Adams Field House 5/14/74
I was so happy when Dave release this one... My in tape trading days i had a very crappy board, but hey it had a Dark Star on it from 74, and it was the only Montana show they did... What i have grown to really like about this show is the NFA>Going Down the Road... give it a listen..... not the longest versions in the world but they smoke!!!! Even get a whew from Weir after the jam in GDTRFB..... alas all is ruined after when Bob get's hit with a homecoming cup, "Thanks a whole hell of a lot," right before the encore..... Good call for today.... bob t
5 months so far
We were bound to have a repeat eventually and perfect pick for repeated listening.
DeadVikes no words do justice, I’m sorry for your loss.
5/14/74 Dave's Picks #9
Thanks for the kind words Gents, I appreciate it!
GOGD, did we do this one already, shoot, sorry for the repeat, I guess I needed a good Dark Star. And I am with Bob t, the NFA/GDTRFB combo is sweet and One More Saturday Night to finish.
Sound quality is A+. How great was the Wall of Sound.
Are we five months into this BS pandemic already? My God, this has to end soon.
Thanks again guys and stay well.
Rinse, Repeat
Ha.. Well, I missed the first one so it was a good repeat for me. I fit in the whole show and kept right on going with 6/16/74 simply because it was the next show in my device.
...and yes, this darkness got to give.
So Dicks Picks 20 tomorrow? Check out the jam in Supplication.. wowow stuff.
DiP 20
We might have.. if so, lets try and think up a new one. Where is our official judge, GOGD? Without him in the loop, we are a lawless, woolly bunch.
Edit: Well.. my 4/20/84 just arrived, so that's going to be my outside listen today. Reading the liner notes now. Saw a lot of shows in 84.. I remember how much different Jerry looked than he did in '83, and that habit of staring into the carpet and just shredding it was already well established. Vocals were a problem the whole year. This was about the time we started realizing something was afoot.
Real Time Updates
Hi-Ya!
Sorry, Dead.net homepage posts on my Mac aren’t updating in real time, even with refresh, weird.
I guess I have to dig a little deeper. Anybody else get that?
Yep, 5 months of this shiz, started 4/6/20 from what I can tell.
Alright, in regards to shows we did DiP V20 on 4/20/20, and DaP V9 on 5/14/20.
Now I'm just saying that so we know, no biggie doing repeats, in fact, these are all repeats and I do them all all the time ;)
I went down the 1971 rabbit hole after 8/14 & 8/15 and am trying to work my way out, but Fillmore April ’71 is sounding really good and taking me back to my earliest days of hearing the Dead.
(Which in comparison to now, seem like heaven!)
Did 4/29 yesterday, one of my earliest tapes, and am enjoying 4/28 today, So you know where to find me :)
Music Is Good Medicine
Be Well All
I finished Onondaga... i am am being drawn into Winterland 73
Just finishing Set I from 11/9/73.... gonna listen to this box the next few days. There are 8 shows from the October 73 and only 1 has been released.10/25 and 10/30 both have Dark Stars on them..... I'm a big fan of Evanston Show especially second set... I like the September tour, but I know a lot of people don't like the Fiero and Ellis shows... nothing has been released from September... There are 10 shows from this month no releases. Got a feeling Dave is saving 9/12/73 William and Mary show for the 50th anniversary of Wake of the Flood.... Thank you for listening to my ramble... bob t

Dicks 20 Onondaga
Excellent pick. Latvala strikes again!
I think repeat picks should be allowed, or even encouraged. That way, we'll never run out.
I've got the same delayed updating problem, GOGD and have had it a few weeks now.
74 Shows
Yes, I am with you on releasing more 74 Conekid. Don't forget 2/22 and 2/23.
Since several of these shows are partial releases, boy, I would not mind if they went back and gave us the complete show. Not sure that would ever happen, but I would buy it.
I pulled out 7/5/78 this morning. It has been a long time since I listened to this show. I know we did the 7/1/78 show on the Anniversary date. I don't listen to this box that much anymore and I should, great shows and super sound quality.
Everybody hang loose.
Anniversary

I recall a smokin’ China Rider
Edit:
And it keeps on smokin’
Greek Theatre
Thanks for the link on the last show at the Greek. Thought this might make a good pick of the day so I checked out Relisten and the archive. The only option I could find was one and it was a feed from Bob Weir's guitar. And that was literally all it was just his guitar playing. I like Bob Weir and all, but listening to just his guitar for a full show is not going to do it for me.
Who has a pick for us today?
Written
Writing, "What for?", across the morning sky
The Archive has the final Greek.. sounds ok to me.

Second Box 2020
Today is August 20 and I am beginning to think there will not be another box set released this year. Not really sure what Dave was referring to when he spoke about other big things needing their own space to breathe later in the year meant? I know we have AB, but that can't be it.
Also, have they ever had a box set announcement past August 1?
Are usual clue tellers are silent.
Nostradeadmus
Nostradeadmus predicts American Beauty 50th either released on 11/1/2020 or announced that day if they are unable to pull it off because of covid.
I think we are getting one more this year.
Randomly
Went with DP18 today. We've listened to this one before right? Anyway, ready for Englishtown any time now. Wish there was more video. Saw some of it recently first for I think the first time. Wonder how much (if any) footage there remains left. What's been out there has been seen already before, right? I'll have to check my Dead base. :-)
Happy rest of summer, all... :-) :-) :-)
Nostradoses
Dave made that 76 Box video before the world got turned upside in, downside out.
I don’t think that there is a rule about when an announcement needs to be made.
I’m holding out for another Box, whether it’s a stand alone or part of AB-50th. There’s really no reason to announce it way in advance, just announce it when it’s available for sale and start shipping the same day.
Announcements , Shakedown Stream encore
I see that Jambase posted a loose knit announcement yesterday for the final edition of Shakedown Stream to take place next Thursday August 27th. I’m surprised that the August 2020 Grateful Dead bulletin did not include a notice there of. I will say rest assured dear readers that official announcement would see the light of day maybe Monday or perhaps Tuesday at the latest. Something tells me that the pre-show with Dave and Gary has some special guest sure to make a long and lasting impression upon the impressionable and the not so easily impressed alike. So soon, very soon I expect to hear the drum roll, Rolling Thunder!!⛈⚡️⛈
