    How did you get your post past the HN police OB! Nice work. The longest one I have seen in a while.
    I haven't listened to much spring 84 in long time, with the exception of Dave's #35, which I always enjoy. There have been a lot of Philly shows released by Dave. Will have to poke around a bit.

    wow, what a run hey, during the soundcheck for 2-22-74 I believe there is the first hints of an estimated prophet Jam, and 3 sets too.

    Have hit everything in order through April 30.
    Not fall 73 but better overall than I expected!
    Some really good shows there, just they all seem to have the same idiosyncrasies. Mainly, misses. Not really any big train wrecks, though JG flubs Althea pretty good on the 30th.

    Several times I’d be thinking, this is the show, then they’d have some little miss or Jers voice might be a bit ruff on one song. Just weird random stuff that I’d call normal, except here it just seems like every now and then, from time to time, ?? Hard to explain, perhaps I.e., check out all the HSF as an example?
    The tape selection/quality is inconsistent too. I heard several less than stellar SBs, and some awesome Auds, and everything in between.
    The first night of Marin sounded like practice, but was a creeper. Ist set sloppy, but eventually got some things going. Awesome Oh Babe it ain’t no lie!
    The run seemed to get better as she goes. Again, kinda sounded overall like a tour warm up run… Do try to hear the Blues for Allah hints during the 3/31 space! And the Spanish jam through Rat on the 29th.

    Ist night of Vegas was meh, second ok.
    The tour proper starts in Hampton. First night sorta status quo for opener, nothing really stuck out. Second night I enjoyed and sounded like they were finally gelling.
    CROTCHFESTER. I was at, front row, perhaps highest we ever got, so no surprise I didn’t remember much. I do recall feeling non plussed BITD but I think that’s because I had some song expectations that didn’t pan out? Always seemed overshadowed by NF the next night (same mo for us).
    This time, I did dig NF as they jam hard and things can be very psychedelic musically at times, but this time Rochester really stood out for me. One of my favorite shows of the tour, definitely worth a listen!
    I’ll skip Philly for now…
    New Haven I liked the first night better, great Jack Straw, only Only a Fool ever played, which was meh?, nteresting anyway, nice Spanish jam and space.
    Really all the drums out into space etc we’re cool on this tour.
    Both Providence shows were solid. Decent Shakedown, but I’ll take the powerful Angry Shakedown from 4/16 over em all.
    The second night of P town is another I recommend and another tour tops!
    Nassau shows were good, but perhaps a little on the downside by this point?
    Philly probably was the peak, but I didn’t feel it was obvious.
    I listened to some of these shows several times trying to decide.
    I remember feeling DL had gone to the wrong house with 35 being 4/20?
    I still think the 21st might be a tad better, but perhaps missing a bit on HSF (they don’t quite get any of em perfect) factored in?
    The 19 is ok, sorta tour status quo, 20 and 21 are definitely in the top five.
    So I’d recommend not necessarily in order because these shows were all very similar in many ways, so can’t pick a definitive favorite.
    4/21, 4/20, 4/16, 4/27 tops, extra credit 4/17, 4/26, 4/14.
    Again, really pleasantly surprised at the overall quality and consistency of the tour. Yes if you pay attention you’ll hear some Oopsies occasionally, but perhaps no more than most tours?
    Going to cleanse a bit, then hit some more spring 89…
    ONWARD!

    Sorry man. I always forget to check my messages. I tried to make a lengthier response, but the powers that be determined I used some wrong words somewhere. I would be happy to talk those shows with you. It might be easier on the phone. Hit me a message if you want to exchange numbers. I'm still trying to figure out how to discuss the music on here without getting smacked down.

Hey Jim,

That is quite the process and goal. You are my idol!

I also have used the DBPowerAmp to convert FLAC files to ALAC. Works really well, but I am still on 10.

I use the ALAC format with ITUNES and use Sonos at home.

I still use the physical copies in my wired system. Love the physical copies. Yes, old school.

Hey Waterbury 72 is a great show. Great two sets with good variety.

When you start a show with Big Railroad Blues, you know it is going to be good. Two many great songs to go through, but the Dark Star Drums Dark Star is funky and worth the time. Another enjoyable September 72 show. These guys are good.

We should be two weeks or so out from the 41 Seaside Chat. Baltimore.

Hope there were no cave ins.. That GOGD could dig, it'd be a shame to lose two more.

There's chatter of 3/19/77 on the listening to the river box thread. An interesting setlist and a high quality show.

Agree with Sixtus this run would make a great box set.

Ha.. well, all I can say is 3/19/77 is a Bobby Dazzler. A top pocket find.

It's not often I reach for 1977, but I am in the mood and this one just sort of lurks.. probably haven't listened to it in 8 or 9 years. So yes.. why not hit it?

Edit: 3/19 tomorrow. It's been fake crisis after manufactured crisis today, none of which were my doing. Plus we are in the midst of a mini snowstorm. I am putting down my work, shutting off the PC and picking a show with Cold Rain and Snow. I've spoken my peace and counted to three.. it's a Cold Rain and Snow opener and snowstorm night, probably the beginning of 2/21/71. Have a bottle of pinot opened and might just grab a cold beer and hit the tub, shut my eyes and feel the snow hit my face. Yes, even the best of us get two fisted on rare occasions and for me, tonight qualifies. I never in my wildest thoughts would have imagined that I would be the responsible one which should really scare us all.. if true, humanity might be doomed.

Holy cow.. hoping 2022 delivers, 2021 was a well-intentioned dud. Rant over, absorbing and emitting good vibes.

Great show, the Dead played great at all 3 of these shows. My brother and I sat up in the balcony that night. These 3 shows would make a great box set, let's hope they don't chop them up.

I am here!! hope you all had a happy new year with your families!! All is well here in Rhode Island.... I've been on every so often mostly reading comments and then subconsciously playing shows like the 3/19/77 set II... Sorry i haven't been tossing out play of the day suggestions... been hiding out in June of 76 a lot lately. I know Jim threw out 6/29/76, I will never get tired out that show. I first got that tape back in 87.... i can listen to it every day and never get tired.... Have a good weekend all. Bob t

Who can name another show with a set II closing combo of Wharf Rat>Franklin's>Sugar Magnolia? No, it's not 10/15/76, that's Comes a Time>Franklin's>Sugar Magnolia. How many other Wharf Rat>Franklin's are there btw? Where's that DeadBase when I need it?!? :-P

What a show. Both sets are hot and unique. Love the first set Estimated, Terrapin, Playing, Samson, Playing! Wow. And as others have said the second set just as good. Why isn't this show released? I don't think they have the reels for this run. This run was also their first time back to Winterland since October 74.

Hey, good to hear from you Bob t. Hoping for a good 2022, we are all due.

Was thinking 7/2/89 Foxboro for today. First show of the famous July 89 Tour.

These reels exist somewhere... and I don't think it's the asshole with the trunks in the barn letting them rot, unless Rob Eaton was the source that originally circulated them. Whew.. nice show. Short but good second set, interesting set list, nice experimentation and willingness to take some risk.

We should thank Sixtus for mentioning this one.. hit the spot.

First show gets the prize. Nice WBK reference.

I forgot to thank dvikes for the Palace Theatre nod. Another great show with an interesting and varied setlist. That show also has these very interesting parts and a nice vibe, good swing.

7/2/89, this will be a virgin listen for me. It's got a To Lay Me Down, so I'm an enthusiastic all in. I doubt if I will finish it tonight, so into tomorrow.

Have a good rest of the weekend folks.. stay warm and to proudfoot (if he ever ventures to this thread) stay dry.

(a rarity)

7/2/89

Another show of multiple in a row suggested here with these twisted, unique set lists. Opening with PITB>Crazy Fingers. Are you kidding me?

Not the smoker show of the tour, not legendary.. but really, if you had to plan out the entire tour in hindsight, is there a better way to start then this? Me thinks they knew what they were doing.

I listened to the Charlie Miller (no surprise there), but the Kevin Tobin is really excellent. I wonder which one is better?

I don't know.. I could comment forever.. but my comments are: Solid show, the Queen Jane, To Lay Me Down. Cassidy is priceless.
The second set was well played and tight, nothing legendary but solid nonetheless. My favorite was The Mighty Quinn, but I am biased.. I have a soft spot for that song.

Well played, well executed, great recording.

Hey, nice work Jim. I am a big fan of this show. I believe this was the Meet up at the Movies show in 2016?

I watched this show on the tube. That playing in the band opener, fantastic. Crazy Fingers, Wang Dang Doodle! Come on. Great first set. Start the second set with Friend of the Devil, alright, again can't remember too many second sets that opened that way. At the end of He's Gone Mickey and Billy are positioned to go into Drums and Bob leaves the stage and Jerry says not so fast, and then takes them into Eyes of the World! So great. You have to see it. Love those Quinn the Eskimo encores as well Jim.
So they have this show already produced for the MUATM, why not release it for sale. Blur Ray mix? Man, I would buy it.

This show, Deer Creek and the three Alpine shows, all with video would make a pretty damn good box.
The rest of the month has already been released.

Yea, I have to get around to that one of these days. It doesn't help that my wife threw out all my ticket stubs so that task is sort of a downer in that regard.

I only caught one show in 82, in Baltimore on the Spring tour (my first).

I didn't get the memo that you must see them multiple times in a tour until 1983. Silly me. 83 also marks the first time I traveled to see shows. It all started to sink in, technicolor. what fun

Haven’t been listening to any dead lately, but love this show so much I had to comment.
Agreed, not the best of the tour etc, but better then many, and overall a damn solid show, 89 style, with a great set list!
DV, concur, good one to view and they’ve already done some of the work, release it!

Worse, or on par with my Mom taking my (now Vintage) Rock T's to Goodwill?... :-P

Go Bills! They finished strong OB.

Another bad year for the Vikes and heads are rolling.

I always wondered what happened to mine.

mmmMOM! Dammit, I bet your mom and my mom were in cahoots. bygones..

Edit: Makes my memory drift to the day my Mom found where I hid my stash. Just how did she figure this out? It's starting to make sense now. Our moms were all in on it, it was a giant conspiracy.. one day everything was fine, the next there wasn't a nook or cranny in the entire house safe enough to hide a little bag of buds. I wonder who's mom was first to put all this together?

The flush heard round the world.

Back to your regularly scheduled Day Job encore (the best I could muster under the circumstances).

Edit: What's on tap for this week? What eras are we going to dance around (and in)?

Been working outside today.. I hit Jerry Live 17, then 16 as I had not listened to them yet. Man.. there's a good bit of empty space on those CDs. Killer Filler is not on their menu, but enjoyable nonetheless. Nice mixup, 76 then 91. That Lucky Old Sun.. gets me every time.

So a pick for tomorrow you say. We have been on such a roll lately I fear I can't outdo what's just been done. I really am in the mood for something I think we hit ready in the two years we have been doing this, 12/31/76 or something from the June 76 box. I have no idea why... 76 is my muse at the moment. That opiated transect groove perhaps.

Jim, 76 is always welcome. Live at the Cow Palace is a multi track gem. Too many great things to say about this show and release, so anytime.

Or the June box works as well. One of the Beacon shows?

You name it.

Let's keep it rolling.

Edit: Thinking of 76. Do they have the reels in the house for 8/4? That would be a great release at some point.

I think HendrixFreak was at this one. I'd have to think if they don't have the reels someone does... which means they will wind up in the vault eventually. They do exist.

76 is not always in my bag, but when it is I go on and on until it isn't. There is an infectious groove here, something between 74 and 77. 12/31/76 might just be the very best of this transitive year.

So do 12/31 tomorrow? June will come again someday.

Compare and contrast 12-31-76 with 2-26-77.

They are kind of like a 76/77 hybrid, elements from each year.

In December is listened to 3-18,19,20-77 (not consecutively) and they seemed like the bridge from 76 to May 77.
So yes Dave, bring on the March 77 Winterland Box. Small and compact, yet big in stature, like the June 77 Winterland Box.

I’m not playing along, I listened to all 5 of those shows at some point in the last month or so.

The Winterland shows are not listed as being returned as reels, but they are listed as being returned on cassette.

19. 3/18/77 Winterland = 2
20. 3/19/77 Winterland = 3 *= +1 CASSETTE = TOTAL 4 CASSETTES FOR 3-19-77*
21. 3/20/77 Winterland = 3

That’s from the list of returned reels site. I’d post the connection to the location on the internets, but you know….

But you can search for it:
Jerry Garcia’s Middle Finger: The New Alphabet: ABCD

Yes, a seaside chat in the near future.

I had a shit show for a day, but fun was overshadowed by work (hoping it's temporary).

Feel free to proceed, 12/31/76 > 2/26/77 is an epic quest. Give me a bit to catch up.

Not poking fun or being sarcastic... but I am hoping Billy the Kiddd chimes in with commentary on being there. First or third person is ok with me. I love epic tales all things GD. What's not to love?

But a show that I didn't go to. At the time, I was working as a sheetrock hanger, and I was so tired at the end of the day I went home and went to bed. I woke up later and listened to the show on the radio. Tickets were available the day of the show and I did think about going , but I was just to beat at the end of the day. My brother and all my friends went, they were talking to some older folks sitting behind them and the people said that their son was playing tonight, it was John Cipolllina's parents. Not only did the Dead play great that night, but Santana came on before the Dead and just played fantastic. I never cared for the Cow Palace, it was a big old place, I only went there once to see a Sharks game. My brother saw the Dead there in 1974. Of course the Beatles played there in 1965.. When the Who played there, Keith Moon passed out and couldn't play, so the Who got some kid out of the audience to play drums and finish the show. He certainly has a story to tell.

A Marin county band that had Mario Cipollina in it that night. Parents came to see the other son. Had to look that one up. I was like, wait, John C. was there 12-31-78 wasn't he? Need to check them out now. I love bands with a horn section. Cool how these connections lead me to other music I'm unaware of.
Cheers
Great show! Love the slowed down post-hiatus era. Jerry was in his prime and the band was just exactly perfect.

Perfect, is right first show.

What strikes me about this show is not only how they performed that night but also the fact that the last time they played before this show was October 15 at the Shrine.
Nice first set, the grove is there and they close with that monster Playing. Jerry is definitely feeling it.
Second set is a monster. Start out with a fun Happy New Year Sugar Mag into a nice Eyes, they aren't rushing anything. Wharf Rat into a Bob Weir Good Loving. Yes, I do enjoy his versions, Samson, into a really well played Scarlet that you can kind of feel like it wants to go somewhere. One of my favorite versions of Around and Around, bring it down now! Next into a Help Slip drums that is rocking. Not Fade Away into a Morning Dew that is reminiscent of 5/26/72 or Winterland 74. A top 3 Morning Dew in my book. One more Saturday night then into a two song encore of UJB and We Bid you Goodnight! What a show! I think I only saw one two song encore in my short career in Alpine 89.
The recording is one of the best they have every released. The sound quality is A++. It is always special show for me to listen to.

Good idea Jim.

If you don't have this show, it is definitely worth pursuing and if you need a copy you know where to find me.

Okay, on to the Swing!

.. but making progress. Took a break and did a little skiing with my son, he asks too many questions to listen and ski. Finally some decent conditions with a big snowstorm on the way. I love snow, it brings out the kid in me.. like that exact moment when you find out you get a snow day and don't have to go to work em I mean school.

I like the twofer idea and transition right into the Swing. These are two first rate shows, back to back. Both have unique setlists and expansive jams. Powerhouses of creative focus and energy, the recordings.. (in my best Mr. Burns accent) excellent.

Thanks for entertaining my indulgence.

Such a great show. I shared my experience of that night a few months ago, especially with regard to that monumental Dew - my favorite for many reasons.

Think it might be time for a little contest for some GD schwag since we're in a bit of a lull waiting for more music. Sometime next week, right here.

Sweet Bolo, that sounds like fun. Count me in.

The Swing, such a great show. So interesting to hear the new songs develop over time. Terrapin and Estimated. They pick up steam as the year progresses. Recording is great.

OB, how about those Bills? What a blowout. Allen and Diggs looked really good.

How about a pick Bolo?

Which source would you go with? My recollection has a bunch of tunes from other shows inserted into some of the archive entries to emulate a complete 10/6/77. I'd like to get a handle of how that show went down if even from an entry with a bunch of patches. Another show I'd like to hear is 2/6/79 Tulsa.

Getting a bit of a snowstorm here in the Mid-Altantic. Made for a great chance to get a great listen of the second set while shoveling and the obligatory hot tub encore. It's a pretty long show and a classic, one of my favorite New Years efforts. Jerry's voice on much of this show is both well recorded and in it's prime, especially for the Eyes and Morning Dew. I never tire of this one, working to catch up today so Swing then on to 10/6/77 and I will be sure to add in the killer filler from UCSB at end of Dave's Picks 29.

WTJ, I am listening to this show through the relisten app via Sonos. I have the third option on the list going which appears to be a straight SBD. Sounding good so far, but a long way to go.

I need to pull down a more complete copy. I enjoyed what I heard. In addition to the NFA Black Peter sandwich, the Estimated was hot. My copy faded out just as Eyes started. I pulled this down before I documented what I had. Another reason to upgrade my digital universe with the best copy that circulates. Baby steps..

Great day of shoveling and listening to music

Took it out for a ride, another show I would not have listened to if it wasn't offered up here. Fun show, as stated we could use an upgraded recording at some point. The Eyes sounded good on the version I had going. The return of Dire Wolf, why did they drop this song for a while? FOD, Estimated, good stuff.
Yes, that NFA/Black Peter/NFA was part sweet and good UJB encore.
Hope you all make it through that strom out East.
Thanks for the pick Bolo.

On to the Omni and I see it is a Pearson Healy.

Yeah, 1/18/70 is a great show. They should just release whatever music they have of 1970 as one giant box set, that would be a knockout. If there was one year I could see all the Grateful Dead shows live, it would be 1970.

We interrupt this thriving discussion to note that Soundings Mindful Media has uploaded a video of Dancing in the Street from Winterland in that year, and you might want to check it out. Now it is also true you can no longer put links in posts, and I am dancing in the street myself at the reduction in spam posts as a result. But hey, Deadheads are good at improvising, and you can probably figure out how to get to YouTube, and once you are there, you want to watch?v=9Rmzxzb4N_I Onward!
