    nudie shows - photos

    They definitely wore Nudies 12/12 per a concert attendee towards end of that same Internet Archive thread.
    "Poster: corry Date: May 13, 2014 6:47pm
    Forum: GratefulDead Subject: Re: the nudie suits
    I saw the Grateful Dead at Winterland on December 12, 1972. Jerry, Bob and Phil wore nudie suits, I think Keith may have at least had a Nudie jacket. They did not change clothes. I saw them numerous times afterwards, but I never saw them wear Nudie Suits again. Of course, it was my first Dead show and I thought nothing of it. I figured they always wore such things. It turned out I was wrong, but well, that's life."

    I think the really nice color photos with Jerry, Donna in red, and Bob are from 12/12/72. I've seen photos from what is clearly the same show also attributed to New Years '72, 2/19/73, and Nassau 3/19/73. The reason I think 12/12 (or another date in that run) is that Jerry is playing a really distinctive guitar. It's the Erlewine Stratocaster that Garcia played for a handful of shows in fall '72 - note the really big numbers on the neck. Reddit comment: "Made by dan erlewine (he’s the lead personality for the stewmac guitar tips channel) in the early 70’s, it features a rosewood pick guard and the funny number fret markers. Not much else is known about this guitar, and this is really the only show where he used it. Odd, because erlewine states it was a custom build for Garcia himself. Erlewine states here that it was a laminate maple neck, the wood from an “ancient piano”. He himself states it wasn’t the greatest build standard. Saying this, it’s not really a surprise that it never really showed up at any other gigs, as we all know Garcia was pretty particular (for good reason) and the weird design choice was probably why. It had a stop tail piece and a brass nut, very similar to alligator. He asked for $500, and Garcia gave him $900!" https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/dszksk/dressd_to_the_1_3… I ran into dead links trying to pursue this one further.

    Disregard the above as to "this" being the "only" show Jerry played it at. Known shows for Erlewine Stratocaster here - http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2019/08/jerry-garcia-instrument-history-…

    per Deadessays 12/12/72 is penultimate known date Jerry played the Erlewine in concert. He played it one last time for part of that great Des Moines show on 5/13/73!!

    photos with strong attribution for 2/19/73 show Garcia playing Alligator - https://www.gdao.org/items/show/831582

    photos of New Years show seem to show Jerry with Alligator also. Plus, given how high profile the New Year show was, if Jerry played the Erlewine you think that would have been noted.

    I came across a version of the Nassau movie that is synched up to audio - the footage is playing in the band. I'll see if I can find the link. Very cool time capsule, fuzzy as it is. You can see Phil really groovin in that Phil way from time to time.

    as for 12/15/72 - big time excellent (edit - with some weird tape speed stuff going on in Trucking)

    edit - brief video clip of Jerry showing off the Erlewine Strat, shared by Sam Cutler 9/20 on his facebook page (from comments on Deadessays). - https://www.facebook.com/1419240388141325/videos/462957607997895/?hc_re…

    I pretty much don't do facebook but Sam's page is very cool. Looks like he just opened a youtube channel last few days!

    I did find another picture that appears from to be that same show with Donna in red dated as 2/19/73 so I'd need to do some further research to attribute a specific date to that photo.

    Isn't there a group of cats that focus on dating photos?

    I've been meaning to look into that.
    I wanna check out their work.

    Alright, I'll just say this... whoo hoo Grateful Dead!

    Not Sure

    Yeah, I was under the assumption that this photo was from 12/15/72 but can't find any confirmation quickly (love this pic)
    https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/jpfbnw/wish_i_had_a_time…

    I guess the main reason I thought that was because I used pic for my "album" cover in iTunes.
    At the moment I'm totally not sure why or when I did that now that I looked around.
    So.... 12/15/72 as a Nudie, not confirmed at all.

    Maybe some smart person can confirm date on that photo.
    It might also be from Winterland 12/31/72.

    Love this stuff.

    EDIT - BLUECROW Did they do the Nudie on the 12/10-12/12 run?
    This might be a project for Lost Live Dead... if you're out there.
    Give us the low down on the Nudie!
    BTW LLD You rock, I'm amazed at how much time you've put into researching the GD and it's always fascinating.

    not sure if 12/15 is a Nudie show. It's at the Long Beach Arena and is sandwiched between the Nudie Shows in Winterland 12/10-12(?) and 12/31. not that this matters much to my ears.

    onward!

    With the rumor of Nudie Suits I started down the 12/15 rabbit hole last night. SirMick transfer sounds mighty fine so far though the song listings are off by one.

    Stumbled on a Internet Archive post from attendee of 2/19/73 that I hadn't seen before. He's a regular there from what I remember.

    Forum: GratefulDead Subject: Re: the nudie suits
    I was at the 2-19-73 show at the Amphitheater, and my recollection was they came out for the first set wearing them - and before playing the first tune, they made kind of a big deal of them. I remember Jerry and Bob bantering on about them while showing them off to the crowd a la fashion show antics. They also went on about them at some point during the first set, around either "You Ain't Woman Enough" or one of Bob's cowboy songs - I remember being amused, and the band seemed to be having fun with fancy threads. It felt like a different show when they came out for the second set wearing jeans and t-shirts . . . I have a faint memory of Jerry hanging his embroidered jacket on a chair or mic stand to show it off.

    And for those of us still hoping for tapes of the whole night, and trying to remember what all was played, . . . I do remember Billy spending some time playing a big gong as a regal attention-getter, but can't for the life of me remember if it was for a possible "Morning Dew" or "Dark Star", or during the missing part of "the Other One", or even sound check??? If someone has a better memory of what was played that night, please chime in. I also remember being really curious and amused by the people behind us, going back and forth about what was played and when, and checking their notes scribbled in the dark . . . I remember thinking 'what a silly, strange and distracting thing to do' at a show . . . silly me. (https://archive.org/post/1016982/the-nudie-suits).

    3/9/81 later.

I’m currently spinning 3-20-91.

Will need to investigate 4-14-72 tonight when the beer is flowing.

What a smoker 4/14/72 is!

Holy moly.

Great Pick for a Friday DeadVikes, that hit the spot.

Fun write up of this show in Taper's Compendium, and they transcribed Pig's wrap.

Crushing Caution all week and I'm ready for more.

Dig the memories BlueCrow.
Love those shows that hit you in that archetypal center like PANG!
Then when you hear them again, you can picture that moment every time.
Time Travel!!!

That Brown-Eyed Women gets me like that.
My first GD album WALSTIB from columbia records and tapes club.

Agree GOGD, this one always seem to do something for me. Sweet Dark Star,. Sugar Mag, Good Lovin, Caution, Good Lovin sandwich. Still love the Pig Pen led Big Boss Man.

Looks like Conekid offered up 3/20/91. Sounds like a winner to me.

You should give us a pick for tomorrow GOGD.

Okay, so box next announcement next week?

Stay well out there.

Alright, I'll take a stab at it.
September 16, 1972

A partial SBD portion of this show has been floating around for awhile.
But in Dec 2020 we got a much more complete SBD source.
Delivered from an anonymous person that must've had cool friends.
The first 4 songs are missing (there's an audience if you're jonesing) but the majority of this killer show is now ours to listen too.
Hot Damn!

The mix ain't perfect, but this is some killer stuff worth spending some time with if you ask me.

One of my all time fave versions of Playing In The Band.
And the Dark Star > Brokedown nuff said.

Here's a link to the new source on archive, it's on relisten too look for ANON.
https://www.archive.org/details/gd1972-09-16.150979.sbd.mr.flac2444

I highly recommend listening to the PITB > On when you have some time to take it in Dick Latvala still.
Enjoy!

PS - Bob T picked this one back on 9/16/20 but it was before we had this new source.
Wow, It's a great time to be a Dead Head!

On it tomorrow. Thanks for the pick GOGD.

Speaking of Bob t, it has been a little while.

September 16, 1972 show is definitely one of my favorite GD shows.

Due to the fact that not much of the show circulated and that it happened during an amazing peak in GD history, I feel like it's way overlooked. Maybe I'm wrong, but I rarely hear it mentioned.

At the time of the Taper's Compendium Volume 1 only the Dark Star circulated.
But that write up alone would make you seek out the tape.
And they didn't even know about all the other killer stuff on here.
Not sure why I find that so cool.

Super stoked to have the majority of the show now.

It's made appearances during 30 Days of The Dead so it's greatness is known.
But given the chance I try and suggest it.
Like today.

At some point the PITB & Dark Star just permeated my mind and every time I listen they take me somewhere new.

Upon repeated listening it can take you on interstellar journeys.

Plus the Don't Ease rips.

Enjoy!

PS - I know we get a lot of NFA > GDTRFB > NFA in these parts, but be sure and give it a listen for some 1 drummer magic and watch for Jerry's solo in GDTRFB, you'll be glad you did.

Doc promoted 3 14 71

I stated i remember the compendium being "whatever" about it

I have been listening while treadmilling

It's another very potent 71, well worth a listen or 20

Thank you for the promotion, Doc

Thanks for the pick on this one GOGD. This is a huge show. Just love the Bird Song from this era. Can't remember too many shows with Stella Blue and Morning Dew. Would love an official release of this show.

Am I hearing Nightfall or Diamonds for today?

Definitely a monster show!

Glad you dug it DeadVikes.

Not sure the tapes that exist will meet the criteria of official release, so having a majority of this show via SBD is a real treat.

I love it.

Alright, sounds like some October 1989 Dead to start the week.

Happy Monday you all!

Guess I’m gonna have to try and replay 9/16/72?
Besides the Dark Star, which I loved, I was kinda nonplussed by this one...though the Relisten app wouldn’t let me play some tunes, including PITB and Dew. Threw on the Dark Star sequence from 4/8/72 after which seemed like quite the difference? Energy/performance (obviously the sound) As I say, guess I’ll have to give another try....
Perhaps I was subliminally comparing to DiP 36 and 11 which are top favs, same as I do with DiP 23? I like it, but not as much as it’s 2 neighbors....if that makes sense?
Man I’m so far behind.....perhaps I’ll try to ketchup and skip 10/16/89 just cause that’s a big go to...Personally I think it’s one of the best releases they’ve given us; good show, cool sets/songs, good playing and GREAT sound! But I listen to it fairly often so no biggy if I skip it now...
Mañana I hope to have time for a big day...
Oh, did check out through Estimated from 3/20/86 on YouTube Friday night. Meh, didn’t dig it as much as the previous night, though the Box o Rain was cool and did fire a few old synapses, but I still have no clue who I went with etc...
Going to try and inch my way through dead dreams to another land and perhaps hit a show or so a week till I get through all six of my nights on that tour.
But Maybe I’ll try and sneak in that 3/31/86 y’all liked today?
So much Dead, so little time ; )

OB - Not sure why I like 9/16/72 so much, and I think it is kind of a sleeper, but it creeps on ya and if it's got ya, it's got ya good, so I recommend doing it up at just the right time when you can really grok it.

In the meantime, 3/31/86 is super fun, you should hit it.

ConeKidd - I did manage to get in that 3/20/91 yesterday and dug it.

But yeah like you say, so much Dead!
That's my kinda problem :)

I sure hope we are not done, this has been a blast. Some days there are several picks thrown out, so it might be hard to follow.

I will take that bet. I don't think there will be an announcement this week. What is the wager? Signed sealed copy of Dave's #1?

It may be old merch from Feb... But I just noticed it.

So I could be wrong.

But... I'll bet that if we don't hear anything this week, I'll give you a copy of the 1970 Trans Continental Festival Express material compilation that I put together. With essentially everything that circulates so far. Which is awesome IMO, BTW.

If we do hear something.. what do I get?

50 years ago today…………….

March 24, 1971
Winterland, San Francisco, California

Set 1: Greatest Story Ever Told >Johnny B. Goode-Next Time You See Me-Loser-Truckin ->drums ->The Other One-Bertha-Sugar Magnolia-I'm A King Bee-Beat It On Down The Line

Set 2: Casey Jones-Hard To Handle-Playing In The Band-Not Fade Away ->Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad ->Not Fade Away

Encore: Uncle John's Band

The Dead return home after a short tour of the heartland.

Another show that only rarely gets discussed. It’s a powerhouse, at times uneven, but with some really sublime moments, including the jam within Truckin’, The Other One (which takes us to many different places), and Hard To Handle. In many ways, it sounds more akin to the powerhouse material that was to come in April, than to the material previously played in March. Did the Dead crank up their game for their home town crowd? Judging from the reaction of the crowd after the fine Uncle John’s Band encore, this show was very well received at the time………………………….

Rock on!!

Doc
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home…….

I am in the process of tidying up my digital library. Between the time I built it and now, there have been some upgrades.. plus in my earlier days of digital alchemy, I didn't document the source as well as I could have.. so I am revisiting everything.. show by show and making sure I am listening to the best available, always lossless version.
This time, I and am doing a better job documenting. Many of my '71 shows fall into this category.

So anyway, I am trying to upgrade my sources when appropriate and have everything through April ready to spin. I got an early listen 3/24 last night. I completely with Doc on this show. Knowing that Johnny B. Goode from Skull and Roses was pulled from this show plus a few tunes from the Manhattan Center.. wouldn't multi-track reels from Winterland, The Manhattan Center and the FE shows be in the vault? I'm sure this has come up before.. but you don't seem to hear much chatter about bring more from this run onto disc.

Good Ole GD.. I made the March '87 Hampton run myself. Thanks for bringing this run into focus again.

I think BobT must have gotten lost in the woods for a few days, but good to see his triumphant return. I just got a text from someone commenting on the 6/27/84 Merriweather show. That would make a good pick of the day at some point, plus it's been forever since I listened to that one and the recording is good for the era. One other POTD idea is one of the Manhattan Center shows from April (4/4, 4/5 or 4/6).

Been busy lately both trying to get through '71 on time, keeping up here. I am also finishing a pesky renovation side project.. fun with wood. oh.. and it's spring!! so outdoor listening is slightly more palatable.

At least musically speaking :)

1971 is in the air folks!!

Happy Anniversary release announcement day!
3 more announcements coming at some point, with a heavy year planned (says Dave).

Hot Dog!

DeadVikes does that count as calling it?!? (Let's Trade Brother!!)

Doc & Jim - keep it coming you guys, thanks for keeping the spirit of '71 alive.

And always ready to talk about Hampton '87!!!
Third of 3 happened 34 years ago, anyone who was there during Terrapin, knows what I'm talking about.
If you missed it, check out the Miller Ultra and feel the rush.

Good Stuff

On the anniversary’s. For such amazing three Dead concerts, the venue sure bit the baagwan .

I don't think this counts as a box announcement, and I was of course bummed that it was not the box.

But certainly, whatever you need GOGD, if I have it, it is yours.

So, Jim, are we looking at 3/24/71 for the pick today?

Hopefully, we hit up some Spring 1990 as well this month at some point.

Conekid, yes, can't wait to get my hands on the 2021 Oberon.

Strider hit us up with the scoop on the Manhattan Center. I wanna hear.

DeadVikes, yeah not quite a Box Announcement.
But.. technically I just said "announcement" ;)
So.. I'll PM ya! - EDIT: PM sent bro
However, sounded like they were just getting this one out of the way so they could lay the next big news on us.

7/2/71 tape that is not in the Vault sounds pretty dang good.

This is fun.

This JBG offa Skull Fuck was the tune, combined with cosmic lightning, that elevated my love for the Dead over Zepplin and Hendrix. For awhile it was hard to pick my favorite, but this particular tune, which I’d heard a lot before, but on a sunny day in April 78, the third eye aligned with the cosmos and from then on, there was never any doubt of who my favorite band was. Not sure what it was, or why exactly just then, but something just clicked and I made my friend keep playing it over and over, and that as they say was that....until 8 months later when I FINALLY was able to see then live!....then it became worse lol, and I’ve been driving everyone around me nuts ever since!
So yeah, it’s time to finally hear this show!

How about 6/27/84, Merriweather Post Pavilion today (or both shows) and we can do one of the April 71's from the Manhattan Center run (4/4 through 4/6), Strider's pick. We might squeeze some interpersonal show scoopage from Strider if we are lucky. If he doesn't get around to picking one by the time that run comes around we can figure something out.

Does that work? I haven't listened to 6/27/84 in more than a decade.. and I was at that one. Not sure if I can conjur up some memories or not.. I have more memory of the night before, but it was not as good as the next night.

Anyway, wanna take that route?

Ok, upon furthur review 9/16/72 resonated more the second go around. Being able to play PITB and Dew etc, that I couldn’t get to play the first time made a big difference (imagine that ; )...and that Dark Star, man I love those 72 Dark Stars! That was worth the price of admission alone! Still not sure I’d rank this show as high as you GOGD, but it’s definitely a keeper lol...

3/31/86: yowsa! Really dug this one; snappy, fun show, cool set lists and good performance.
Need to dig deeper into 86. Saw 6 in March, and 5 in June but don’t recall much and only have a general “overall” view of the shows....so far this one was great as well as the tour opener on 3/19. 3/20 didn’t seem to stand up as well, even with the big reveal, enjoyable, but didn’t seem to click as much....looking forward to checking out 3/21 if it’s on YouTube...

But Manhattan Center mentioned and Jim's talking Merriweather 6/27/84

Or is gonna be a mega blow out Wednesday ;)

BTW Love me some 6/30/84 that one is imprinted into my brain.

Looks cool, I’ll try and squeeze that one in also...
I’ve had some other random ideas that perhaps we could explore before we take the 71 dive again;
- 4/9/82 just cause I haven’t heard it in forever
- 8/21/72: cause it’s got a 72 Dark Star I haven’t heard yet and I’ve only heard the 25th
- 7/7/81: I’m only familiar with the second set which is good, so why not?
- 11/20/78: don’t know anything about this one. It just looks interesting on paper...
- 8/6/82: did we ever do this one? Like the next night and I thought someone mentioned this one, so...

Ive rarely made picks...mostly cause by the time I get up you guys have already listed to half a show lol...
But I tried to go off piste a bit and see if I can stump the panel! Just some ideas, perhaps we could mix some of these into the flow as we go, you and I, while we can...

Old Milwaukee. The recording quality for 3/21/71 was the audience tape version of Milwaukee’s Best.
Winterland 3/24/71 on the other hand sounds exciting. It has that old ice palace feeling, even though they forgot to bring the organ.
