    Stench modification

    Jim, I’m still laughing hours later after going to 36 and then rereading your hilarious but unfortunately accurate description of said stench. Oh if only Jim Lehey was still around to critique and categorize the Winds of Shit that only seem to strengthen with time throughout 2020!

    Though Donna Summer does have many fine tunes, I’m specifically referring to I Feel Love.
    Smoke a fatty, or perhaps just as the trip is starting to take hold, sit dead center with a good system and crank THAT song.....it’s a stoners delight I tell ya, Healy would be proud of all that auto panning goodness, lol......seriously, this tune is sixteen seventies stoned in your room with your black light and posters groovy cool!

    Polished Jim, that’s the word. The Hampton shows from my POV are better, say as a concert going DH freak, but as a finished, professionally produced product for market, I think Nightfalls is better. The song list, the flow, tightness,(perhaps their playing more to the recording so a tad safer?), and yes, as good as Hampton sounds, it’s yet another one that frustratingly just doesn’t come through on tape and do the shows justice. We’ve touched on this before about similar feelings with 10/14/83, and 3/27/88 for starters. 10/16 does seem to breath better and is perhaps mastered better? Again, this is probably splitting hairs as all four 89 fall releases sound good, just not the same...
    So big 10/16/89 tonight, need to wait for proper conditions to manifest and align with the flux capacitor etc. Maybe I’ll go for that 84 show, or sometime this WE I’ll have to spin some of that awesome Acoustic Warfield stuff from last year. Still have some killer 74 someone generously sent me to rip and crank, need to find that Dico 78 Dead that was the impetus for this ramble, and probably will start the Spectrum 89 shows to keep on the path....
    Speaking of, spent a couple rotations with 10/15/89 yesterday whilst continuing my Swiss madness in the basement. Another perfectly good 89 show, but it didn’t move me as much as 10/14, which is funny cause that one had to grow on me a bit. Some of it is probably just set lists, but 10/14 seemed to build up nicely overall. 10/15 has some notable tunes for the time; Standing on the Moon, Just a Little Light, Crazy Fingers, Victum, Stella, Box oRain, and even a Far From Me! Like I say, good show, just didn’t flow for me? Probably just me....
    GOLLUM, you still along for this ride? What say you old chap? And I think Jim needs to fire up the Deer and head back to fall 73 as we appear to have lost ole Bluecorn chasing some minx in the parking lot after the Syracuse show???
    Ok, ONWARD!

    1980 Warfield Shows

    Happy Birthday Bob!

    Been hearing some great music this week.

    After the deep dive into 10/14/80 on Wednesday (great tape with a couple small issues & the audience recording is real nice too, overall not too shabby for a bootleg!) Thursday's Deadcast presented us with a deep dive into the Warfield shows.

    Serendipity?

    That episode was fascinating, and the supplementary material is highly recommended. I believe based on some quick sleuthing that the live footage in the mini-doc seems to be from 10/13/80, as they show footage of an Around And Around > Johnny B. Goode as well as The Other One and all those tunes were played on 10/13. Plus from the sounds of things, the filming took place more towards the end of the run based on Bill Graham's decision to document the occasion. Well done Mr. Graham! And Mr. Jarnow!

    Bounced from that to 10/15/84, which is a personal favorite. I love October '84. The PITB on this show is real good, and Jerry's furious fanning burst in Wharf Rat gives me a smile every time. Good stuff and again I have to give some props to the Audience recording by Rick Pauline, it's a really great capture.

    Add in the newly released American Beauty The Angel's Share outtakes which are amazing.
    DaP V36 Announcement of Dave's First & Charlie Miller's favorite '87 show. (Note: CM mentions that he really likes 3/26/87, so I don't wanna presume too much)
    Some killer Garcia interviews from '81 & '83.
    Damn it was a Grateful Day!

    Today as you all venture forth into a Nightfall of Diamonds, I've noticed some cosmic 1981 nods.
    Jam of the Week has a little bit of 5/2/81 which is sounding real nice and our good pal Bolo mentioned 3/28/81 on the DaP V36 forum. Speaking of... lil bit dicey over there.

    Alright, lots to listen too!
    Shall we go, you and I, while we can?

    Nightfall of Diamonds

    Ha.. so funny you mention that. I had a big day and went to decompress in the tub last night.. didn't quite have the time or energy for 10/14/80 and picked nightfall instead somewhat randomly. I made it through the first set and just dipped my big toe into the second set before I had to help with homework and put my son down for the night.

    ...and I was unconsciously comparing this to Hampton, not something I often do. I think Nightfall is more polished, it flows better and it might just sound a little better too. I think Hampton sounds good but I have always been critical of the mix. The instrumentation sounds cluttered and Nightfall has a little better separation. It's probably a better show, but it doesn't have the surprise and excitement of the Hamptons. Oro alluded to this a couple weeks ago, 10/8 might just be a better show overall than 10/9, but the DS, DDHNM and Attics, like watching BAR BAR BAR come up on the slot machine.

    I think Nightfall might just be better. The sound felt better and the vocals, again.. just a touch better?. The show is likely just as good, but I wouldn't trade it for either of the Hampton shows. The best word choice I can come up with is in the same league. I might add to this after I listen to the rest of the second set later today. So funny to hear this mentioned after my deep dive into the first set last night. Serendipitous.

    I'm staying away from the 36 thread for a while.. poor ventilation and too few porta-potties.. somebody should light a match or spray some Febreze or something. Visualizing a modified fire hose that instead of spraying water to cool everyone off on a that horrid, hottest day of the summer tour, it contains a foaming mixture of cleansing spring scents with just enough sanitizer to cut through the stench. Wash all my troubles away....

    Edit: I lied.. had to reply to the book reference on the cover art. I like to read.

    Oroborous, Donna Summers? Okay, I will have to admit I haven't heard a Donna Summers tune in a long, long time.

    And then there is the Dead, made it through so many different eras and stuck to their guns, thank god. Never waivered.

    I think Dave's chat put the idea of a second box set for 2020 to rest. It is not going to happen. Bummer.

    #36 with two complete shows is a great bonus however, can't wait.

    Stay well out there.

    Edit. Okay I did and still do like Earth, Wind and Fire. Not sure if they are considered Disco?

Tight, cuz I'm digging this 8/6/82 as we speak :)

This set 1 is real good, awesome Bird Song!

8/1/82 Highlights = End of Set 1 China > Rider and Set 2. Dig that Playin > Iko > Playin > Lost > Saint > D > Space > Wheel > Playin Reprise > Black Peter.
That's what I'm talking about boyz!

Also atmosphere of playing at a Zoo, that must've been fun. Who's got stories?

I really like '82.

Oroborous, check your PM.

Yes, 10/20/84 is a high energy show, especially the Jack Straw. I might have brought this up on this page in the early days.. I forget. If we get on an 84 terror, I really like Augusta from 30 trips.

Another Angry Jack Straw is Providence '85. The first set is high energy and worth checking out.
https://archive.org/details/gd1985-04-04.149449.sbd.miller.clugston.fla…

I'm hip October '84 is good stuff.
Miller dropped an upgrade of this show in late November 2020 sourced from Dick Latvala & Rob Eaton so I've been meaning to check this out again.
So many upgrades!!

Personally love '84, and the playing in late '84 really starts to pick up.
I believe it was around this time the band confronted Jerry and expressed concern.
To my ear, shows from around this time have new purpose.
These October shows and say a show like 11/3/84. Off the hook.
Jerry was stubborn, I'm sure if confronted he would be like.. fuck you, I'll show you fuckers.

Anyhow, this is all just speculation I keep in my head (mostly, unless asked, or posting here on this forum:).
Always been curious about the timeline.
But we know Jerry got busted in Golden Gate Park on January 18, 1985 so that was rock bottom (at least for the 80s). And that's why, again IMO, that 1985 is so killer.

But that's another story for another time and I digress.
We're talking October 1984 here.

Meanwhile, in another galaxy a little more than a couple of years before this...
8/6/82 Good Call Deadvikes, I dug that!
I need to get 8/3/82 in for a revisit.
Between 7/31, 8/1 and 8/3... 8/3 is up there as a contender for best show.
7/31 is hard to beat.
Might have to do that too.

But another time.
For now 10/20/84 here we come.
As soon as I finish this show I was at 33 years ago on 6/20/88 which just got a nice little upgrade this morning :)

Life is good in GD world.
But..
You say you want a Revolution?
Well you know,
We'd all love to see your plan.

PS - I love how you guys call this Angry Jack Straw. Nice...

I too was at the Carrier Dome,,, Jack and Shakedown got plus 2 from our records!

Looking up my 10/20 show and Jim mentioning 11/3,,, I realized the 10/27-11/3 stand at Berkeley, would make a fine box set. The entire 84 fall tour was hot, but a stand like that would cover the whole catalog (kinda), but be a good snapshot of that period. I don't follow what or what not is in the vault, but miller had soundboards of 10/20, my copy sounds pretty damn good. So I'll assume the Berkeley run was recorded.

sidebar - Good Old Grateful,,,, I smiled quietly to myself when I read "But we know Jerry got busted in Golden Gate Park on January 18, 1985 so that was rock bottom (at least for the 80s). "

..... I would have thought coma was rock bottom,,,, but that's just me! :-)

Yo Dennis :)
I always felt that the Coma was like rebirth.
Started a second life.
I'm sure it sucked going through it though!
But at the time of the Coma Jer was stubbornly trying to get his shit together.
Jerry describes it like a full on trip, alien plasma stuff.

Amazing how descriptive he was not only in his guitar playing and singing but at the art of conversation.
Every conversation I've heard of his is almost as fascinating as his playing.

Not many folks like that.
I once heard this theory, about how certain people have almost like gravitational pull and that they bring people into their orbit and magic sparks out from that rotational pull and the effect of the connection. I think it was using Diane Sawyer as the example. Wish I could remember where I heard it, mighta been on Oprah :)
Anyhow.. I feel like Jerry was like that.

I'm not getting a lot done this morning, but my mind is having some far out thoughts.

Dennis you're right about the Berkeley run, I can't remember the consistency of the performances, it's pretty rough and ragged I think, but hot.

Tapes are spotty. Not sure the whole Vault story, but what circulates has got issues:
10/27/84 partial SBD circulates
10/28/84 partial SBD circulates / but Lemieux played it all on Taper’s
10/30/84 partial SBD circulates
10/31/84 SBD
11/02/84 SBD
11/03/84 SBD

Got any cool stories about the Carrier Dome?

I really should start doing something, I woke up early and have been obsessively collecting Grateful Dead upgrades and posting comments. But... yeah might need to do something else.

This is a great show as well, GOGD. What is about this part of 1982 that seems to rock and the recordings are really good? The playing isn't perfect, but it still rocks. 1984, I will check it out later today.

I was never a big fan of the 1982 RT release from the Spectrum. Might have to check it out again and see if my opinion has changed at all.

Yeah, late July & early August '82 is hot.
I dug 8/6 too. We gotta circle back and get 8/3/82 in here soon.
8/7, 8/8 & 8/10 are all epic Dead I cut my teeth on BITD.

In regards to that Road Trips release, the real hot stuff is on the Bonus IMO 4/5 is the better show, but I think there's issues with the tape in the Vault as SBD doesn't circulate minus what was released. But the Audience is worth checking out the whole show, cuz it's good!

Good stuff.

Things”

Carrier Dome...such conflicting memories. The place sucked and the sound was worse but all 3 shows we saw there were good. It was about a 2.5-3 hour drive back then and and the NYS nazis were harsh on I-90 around those parts so some freak had the awesome idea to hire a charter bus. Can’t remember how much but for like 10-20 bucks? You had your ride and a keg on the bus and no parking hassles etc...might as well travel the elegant way! Needless to say a good time was had by all!
So much so that we did it again 83! Can’t remember why we didn’t do it for 10/20/84.....but at that point I’m living in this old beat up farm house just out the edge of town with my band mates, which got dubbed the House of Blue Lights.
This was because we had several McIntosh power amps, a blue outside light by the door, and because of this awesome song by Crowbar that we psychedelicised. Most freaks around knew if the blue light was on, the party was happening! Needless to say we went through a lot of blue lights LOL!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0RK0A3vK21M

So I’m living the hippie dream: no car, bunch of hairy smelly dudes all living together in this cheap, drafty old house, little furniture, but huge stereos, with little or no money, and what little there was always went to “supplies”, beer, and when possible more equipment. My rent share was $85 bucks, but in the winter it often cost double that for the damn gas bill. Even keeping the temp around 55-60 might get us a $400-500 dollar gas bill! For food I worked at a Italian restaurant so ate for free at least when I was there, the rest of the time? Scrounged...
So typical for the times, when 10/20 came around I had a ticket, some red sweethearts, and no money.
I was barely dressed and outta the shower when my cousins came round in the granny mobile: an old giant Buick centurion that you could fit like ten people in lol.
Oh, ya need gas money, stick out your tounge lol, oh, you guys gettin beer, let me pitch in, stick out your tongue...
Eventually we’re almost there but need a pit stop so stop at the last rest area before we get to Syracuse.
Hmmmm, I’m hungry, who needs a hit? Lol, well funny now I guess but kinda crazy, as It only took me like five minutes to play Johnny apple seed and made about 75 people happy while also obtaining the desperately needed means to eat, drink, and see Jerry! A true symbiotic relationship as a former boss would say LOL.
Like most I don’t remember too much, but do remember my house mate buddy and I doing a lot of hysterical laughing at this show, like when Bobs going on about bug eyed folks up front etc, well to us that was the funniest damn thing we ever heard!
This is the beauty of Relisten/archive: that now, all these years later, I can hear great quality recordings of these shows and contrary to what I remember, their pretty good.
As GOGD would say we truly are living in a great time to be a DH!
Oh, from what I recall the 82 Jack was smokin’ too.

LOL, I’ll see your drug bust, and raise ya a diabetic coma!

OB - That's good stuff.

The House of Blue Lights. Might As Well.

We're on a roll here today Yos!

JimInMD 8/6/82 -
Highlights - Bird Song, Lazy Lightning > Supplication, Jam after Saint, Space > Truckin’, Baby Blue.
Brent is the all star, his playing is killer through out.
Worth a visit.

BTW this 10/20/84 is on old DL's radar, Shakedown> Sampson was part of 30 days in 2017.
And he's played tasty cuts from 10/14, 15, 28, 31, 11/2 & 3.

I gotta bail.. :)

RT 2.4 5/26/93 cuz I’ve never heard it and it’s fresh outta the wrapper!
Snuck in the extra stuff from 5/27 last night and have just enough time to do 5/26before football.
The 27th stuff was decent. The shakedown starts out sorta plodding, but JG immediately steps it up, good sign!
Some of his vocals like High Time are a bit ruff, but that doesn’t bother me as much as some folks. So far I’d say it’s better than I would of thought in the past, but they’ve definitely lost some of their hutzpah by this point in time.
I’ve never listened to much past 91 so far. I think I’m ready to check out what little official stuff is out, and perhaps the remaining shows I was at but haven’t heard yet....really interested in the 91 Richfield run, (the fornicating with whales run), as I seem to recall someone (GOGD?) saying they were good? I honestly don’t remember much about the shows Cept I liked em....and the extra curricular stuff ; )

I’ve been REALLY burned out on dead, well, more like life in general, so I’m thinking what’s the best palate cleanse of all and still be playing dead....the 90s as it’s really the last frontier for me. So I think I might hang out there for a bit, but I have checked out some of the fun here and will continue.
The 8/6/82 was a nice change and yes GOGD it is nicely Brentcentric, also did most of the New Years Pepsi challenge (didn’t get first 2 sets of 78 in). Went deep on 89, 90 and that fun set 3 from 82 on video. Actually saw all of 81 and 82 on vid for first time. The jam in the 72 show was “primo” lol. 69 was fine, and quite the weird set list. At first I thought they were a tad wobbly, but they eventually entrain nicely. 76 of course is top shelf, but I forgot how awesome that playing is!

Also, weirdly, lol, is that a word? been really linked some how with that 12/6/73 Dark Star since that popped up. It’s like the one thing that really seems to release me and let’s me go to the happy place? The past month I’ve listened to very little dead, but that DS kept popping up?

I dug it as I do all weirdness, but imho that’s hyperbole....thinking that 88 (Laguana Seca?) just one off the top of head, or even that 12/31/76, there’s more....but it was a Bobbie dazzler just the same.
More thoughts coming, but I think I need to call 911 first after the finish of the Bills game....I’m too old for that shite...their like the dead, always kinda flying by the seat of their pants!

It's good, but it's good for '93.

Def 12/31/76 slays this bad boy.

But it's fun and always good to hear quality jams in these later shows.

Dec '92 through early '93, there's some gold in them there hills.

Can't help you with the Bills or getting old, but I feel your pain bro!

Checking out this show from 6/20/91. There is a great recording from Pearson and Healy, transfered by Miller. Also, this was released as Download Series #11. This was a hot period!

I am really digging it and there is a Maggie's Farm and Birdsong.

Set 2 SBD -
https://archive.org/details/gd1979-10-24.sbd.miller.97440.sbeok.flac16

New Source by GEMS popped up today of both sets, but I think Miller's are slight bit better on quick review -
https://archive.org/details/gd1979-10-24.151424.sbd.gems.flac16

Haven't looked on relisten yet.
Sorry if that's complicated.

PS - If you like Audience, this Audience is super fun, listen to them clapping during Scarlet.. it's almost like being there?

I listened to the first set, it's ok, nothing to really write home about. Garcia's guitar playing sounds good, Weir sounds into it, Garcia is having a little trouble with the lyrics, the drummers are popping. If I was there getting high I'm sure I would be having the time of my life, but I think there are much better shows in 1979 then this one, 2/17/79, 4/22/79 and all the year end shows at the Oakland Auditorium come to mind. What the the heck, if you dig it you dig it, if you don't you dont

Ah ha! Objective listening skills, that's a good thing in a Dead Head.

Give that Set 2 a spin and I'll be interested to hear your take.

Honestly I can't remember much about this show, I just was checking it out to compare a new source that popped up.
First show on a hot tour.
I was hearing some X factor peaking out in that Scarlet > Fire.
Had to pause it up and attend to biz, but am looking forward to rest of Set 2.

But yeah, totally interested in hearing what peeps think.

You know, I think Garcia"s guitar playing sounds great throughout this whole show. I like where he forgets the words in Terrapin and he plays over it for a bit then comes back to the singing when he remembers the words.. I'm not a big fan of audience tapes, so I'm sure I would enjoy this one more if it was a sounboard. I don't think if I was sitting around drinking beer and bbqing , that this show would be on the playlist even if it was a soundboard, like 12/26/79, and 12/28/79 would be. This show for me is a one and done.

Keep up the good work here friends. I’ll return February 18th fifty years after being at the Capitol Theater.

I agree, this is not the place for politics.

Looks like Source 6 of 7 updated November 20, 2019 is set 1
and Source 5 of 7 updated July 28, 2017 is set 2.

If that helps.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Just felt like slipping that one in.

Harold Macmillan, one of our mid-20 century Prime Ministers supposedly said ‘History dear boy, it’s just one damned thing after another’.

Lets repeat some good history today.. something old, something epic. Any takers?

Something our special guests will approve.

2/13 and 2/14/1970 perhaps? Or older, 9/3/67? Somebody please help and weigh in.
