Dave, you know of a program to enter dead shows and it makes a deadabase fo tunes, numTimesPlayed, etc Like a personal Deadbase.
lOVED THE bUCKEYE SHOWS...
Three different takes on relationships and love in this sequence. Interesting comparisons. I just read that Billy didn't care much for Blow Away, said it was a Brent tune not a Grateful Dead tune.
Cheers
