Grateful Dead

>>>>>>>>> But now with Dead and Co a Black Peter will only *feel* like 40 min.

Made me laugh!!!

Fleury let in a really soft goal to end the first period, but he is saving their asses in the second. This could easily be 3 or 4 to zip.

The Avs are tough. And the Bruins suck.

Edit: 5 minutes later. Wow.

Edit: 15 minutes later. Some of the best hockey I’ve seen in quite some time. Total skill. Hard play. No nonsense. And that Alex Tuch goal was sick.

Congrats Vguy.

I am also getting lots of dental work this month. Chicks dig nice teeth.

I'm pretty laid back on new box set releases. Tend not to speculate too much as at least for me just a shot in the dark.
That said the past couple of days I have been getting this deep down feeling they are going to announce very soon. What ,I have no idea and as I said speculating for me is a pure guess.
I would like a humungous box as it's been a while for one. I understand lots of people want small ones, I get it but 30 shows would work for me.
Of course that could be the Greek but as has been said they're not for the most part in releasable shape or even any shape at all. Maybe a clean out the vault of all Europe shows. Personally I could go for an 80's and 90's what's quality how much there is in good shape.
The complaints about each Dave's I would guess gives them pause. Me I compare it to what we used to get trading rather than expecting a full blown professionally recorded with release in mind.
I get the ltd editions music from both a business decision and as a dedicated collector. But gardening stuff lol naw
Anyone looking forward to the new FZ release? Needless to say I am
And my new dentist ( after 40 years the old one called it quits) asked me what tv channel I wanted on. I said the off channel. So they said do you like music?!?!.:@? F yeah can you put some Paul Butterfield on. Uh let me see. 2 hours in the chair ( I'm fixing everything) listening to Butter. And he looks to be 35. Guess I good for life.
Thank God they fixed the site

....game On!
Hurricanes blow.

Thanks for the great read on the Allman’s last night at the Fillmore. What a show that would have been. I recently picked up Dickey Betts’ Official Bootleg Vol 1 - excellent! - and as the knee bone is connected to the shin bone, out came the Allman’s box set “Trouble No More” for a few spins. A great, great jam band, that boasted some remarkable guitarists.

The Boston Bruins still suck

Keithfan, you did me a solid once and replaced my disc 2 from Dave's Picks 8 after I scratched mine and the Fire On The Mountain skipped. Except the title in itunes wasn't Dave's Picks 8, it was "Back To Normal with the Grateful Dead". Now I read you describing the Website as "Back to Normal" after first describing it as an acid trip. I have theory that you went to the Dave's 8 show, tripped, possibly for the first time, and were relieved you returned "back to normal". Am I close?

The 75 min Rosie, a single song set. An almost unique thing, even in the jamband world. Apart from that one at Electric Forest by String Cheese, the only other single song set I know of is one that Phil says the Dead played during their strip club run, where they played 5 45-50 min sets a night, and one night, they did In the Midnight Hour for a full 45 min set. Phish has done at least one 2 song set, and their longest single song was the 58 min Runaway Jim 11/29/97, and the Disco Biscuits jammed an improvised soundtrack to SpeedRacer for NYE 1999, a 2 hr jam called Akira Jam, but that, too, ended up going into a second song. The other contender for longest single song would be an unknown Jam that the Allman Brothers did as the final encore on 6/26/71 at the Fillmore East, the night BEFORE they closed down the legendary venue with a 75 min set that was pretty good. The mediocre performance of the finale may be attributed to the goings on of that night before, which was the ultimate show moment for Butch Trucks and other members of the band who said when they had played all their songs, and encored with a big Mountain Jam, the audience wanted more, and they came back and did a 2 hour jam that kept going past dawn. When they finished, nobody applauded, they just shuffled out silently everyone mesmerized by the event, with Duane remarking of the solemn departees, "Goddamn, it's like leaving church." And wouldn't you know, there is no recording of that special night. Here's a first hand account of that night, including a great picture he took from the 5th row.

moe. is a band that plays really long, but my buddy who's seen them like 40 times seems to think that they can hit 30-40 min quite often, he doesn't recall knowing any hour long excursions on one song. Possibly worth noting String Cheese had never hit 40 min on one song before that Rosie. They've got maybe 25 30+ min jams in 25 years of recordings and 2,000 shows, but will do completely segued sets fairly regularly. And they will open with a 20 min song more than any band I know, but usually they've segued by the time a half hour has rolled around.

The long 30-45 min jam periods of the Dead's career is a neat thing to delve into. Apart from that 45 min Midnight Hour, and a 32 min one 9/3/67 on Fallout From the Phil Zone, not too many known 30 min jams. Not many circulating versions of Viola Lee Blues, either. Dark Star and The Other One weren't regularly approaching 20 min (let alone 30) until '69, and Lovelight would be the big 30-40 min performance. Then Europe '72, and Dark Star and The Other One started hitting 30 min (and now even 40) with regularity until the end of 1974, which was largely the end of the 30 min single song jam. After 1976 even 20 min would be seldom breached by one contained song and jam before a segue. But now with Dead and Co a Black Peter will only *feel* like 40 min.

Strawed.
Definitely Jack Strawed.
Definitely Wapner.

Damn! You and I were at a lot of the same bay area shows! I was at 6/8/75 El Camino Park also, and I think somewhere I have a tape of the show.
