    What a setlist!... Made me jealous of those who saw this era live. Great sound… like ‘77 was yesterday. @derekb192 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    Wow! Just as when you think eyes is gonna go to drums out of the bliss comes dancing! One of my all time fave moments! Not just classic 77 but classic ever dead! - @emrysdavies1215 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    ...this show was off the hook from the very get go. The Casey Jones is the best I've heard... beginning a jam that goes through each member going off on an instrumental solo. The end has them jamming so hard you can no longer hear them singing through it. Now you know you're in trouble (The Good Kind) when a show starts like that... Weirtheir on 10/2/77, Dead.net

    Holy hell, the 10/2/77 Betty Board sounds incredible... I just wanted to pay homage to this unreleased gem, which features the lovely, tight playing you'd expect of a 77 show with some of the highest audio quality I've ever heard ... What a treat. u/monsteroftheweek13 on 10/2/77, Reddit

    We know where you've been and we're taking you back with the twice as nice DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 45: PARAMOUNT THEATRE, PORTLAND, OR - 10/1/77 & 10/2/77. Back-to-back complete previously unreleased shows on 4CDs? You betcha! Why? Because we couldn't pick one over the other of these two nights that have been described as "fire," "mind-frying," and "crispy" (bit of a theme here) too many times to count. Witness it for yourself when you dig into the inventive medleys and pristine sound, not to mention the first "Dupree's Diamond Blues" since '69 and the first live "Casey Jones" since '74.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson (with a boost from Bob Menke, more about that in David's video) and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Glad by Traffic is also great

    Steve Winwood is one of the most underrated virtuosos of classic, but especially, British rock. His voice is just astounding 56 years ago when he sounded 50, and now when he's in his mid-70s. His keybord work is top notch, he's on hell of a bass player (Traffic was really lucky), and, in my opinion, he is by far a better guitar player than his bandmate in Blind Faith. I like a lot of things Clapton has done, but mainly through the involvement of others, such as loving Cream with Jack Bruce's awesome bass and Ginger Baker's insane drums; Derek and the Dominos because of Duane Allman, and his addition livened up sessions that had devolved into Clapton shooting up, and napping in the studio. But I've always rated him the third best of the Yardbirds legends. RIP to Jim Gordon. He and Carl Radle and Bobby Whitlock weren't just the Dominos, they had been the rhythm section for Joe Cocker's Mad Dogs and Englishmen, Delaney and Bonnie and Friends when Clapton was playing with them (after George Harrison had a run with the band, and before Duane had a tenure of shows with them as well), and they were also used for most of All Things Must Pass. Pretty impressive. Also, it was Jim Gordon who wrote, and played the piano part for the coda of Layla, which just was gonna fade out rocking (originally it was going to be more like the unplugged version, but everyone including Tom Dowd hated it, and Duane took a John Lee Hooker lick and turned it into one of the greatest rock riffs of all time), but they heard the tape that Gordon had recorded during a night session where he wanted to put something down for a solo album. They convinced him to let them use it for an ending section to Layla, and a magical slide duet was born. A sad story in the end, but for a brief stretch, he was one of the biggest drummers in the world, and his recording legacy is pretty massive.

    That's great, indoctrinated to Andy Griffith Show as I am, and knowing that episode well, I never noticed that lyrical echo! Wonder if Robert Hunter in his early 20s watched Andy Griffith? May have liked him because of What It Was Was Football, No Time For Sergeants, or A Face in the Crowd, which I could see as being more up Hunter's alley.

    On a somewhat related note, I was actually thinking of learning the Matlock Theme this weekend. That bassline is pretty funky, especially later seasons where they play it a little slower, little funkier. But I also wanna learn the trombone part.

    And on Cucamonga, I caught one with the Phil Lesh Quintet in 2001, had no clue what it was, but dug it. I miss that band; wish I had caught the Capitol shows the last couple years with them.

    Had Welcome to the Canteen first which led to lots of Dave Mason. Only recently found a good copy of Barleycorn and still looking for a good used Low Spark without going on line. It's out there... waiting for me. Always liked 40,000 Headmen. Can't think of a Traffic tune I don't like. Need to dive deeper there.

    One of my favorite tunes they never played. I am so glad Phil & Friends do it!!! A certain cover band finds it too difficult to play, along with many other jams ??.......Last night, I heard Opie Taylor say, "He has rings on his fingers and bells on his toes". Did Hunter/Garcia take this from Mr. Vebee?....or was it Mr. Bebee?..........the smoking lamp is lit, and my bracket is already busted.

    The only Traffic album I am familiar with is their first, "Dear Mr Fantasy", from 1967, when Dave Mason was still with them. A great album - but I have always been under the impression they changed after that. A lot of British bands did, going from psychedelia into rock/ blues/soul/folk/jazz or progressive rock with indecent haste. They are like rare jewels, those early psych singles and albums.

    agree, never saw the Dead do it and it's one of my fav's off of that Mars Hotel lp. I did catch furthur do a great rendition of Pride, it was done just like the lp and done quite well. Phil in phine voice. That was back in...10, 2010, still had the original line up with Jay Lane and Joe Russo on drums. Sunshine on vocals. I liked furthur, they did some great Dead tunes that had never been done by the band before, Silvio, off of Bob Dylan's lp Down in the Groove, penned by Bob and Mr. Robert Hunter, comes to mind.
    Actually, my first Pink Floyd lp was Meddle, then Relics and wham, hooked. Saw Floyd several times, 73, 77, that tour without Waters (still a good one) in the 80's sometime. Then for me it was Roger, saw the Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking tour, copped tickets day of show, walked right in place only half full. That was back in the day when a lot of people blamed Roger for Pink's demise. Then In 2001 In the Flesh tour, so good had to catch that tour twice back to back. Then Waters did the DSOTM tour in 05 or 07, memory is not what it used to be, and it never was that good, hence, notes, lots and lots of notes. Last time was when he released his new lp, we called it the 'hate stupid trump" tour. All excellent but the last one Roger starting to show his age. Like us all. Now he's on his Beginning of the Final Tour, Tour. Which will eventually lead to the Final Tour.

    Jim Gordon & All Good Things

    Wow, I hadn’t heard about Jim Gordon, but then, he has been incarcerated for so long. Sad ending. I know Chris Hillman (the good looking dude sitting next to me in my avatar) mentioned him in his book, when they played together in that band Geffen put together. He said there were signs even back then in the mid-70s that Gordon had anger issues, which those around him took to be substance abuse, and because he was a physically imposing guy, he was often given a wide berth. A shame.

    My last five are actually my last six - I’m working my way through the wonderful Rhino release “All Good Things”, covering Jerry’s five official studio albums, plus extras, and a bonus disc of amazing odds and ends. I forgot how good this box set was, and how really amazing his first release - “Garcia” - was. His Magnus Opus, really. Lots of gems in this box. I’m sure everyone on this site has it, and I’m not sure if it’s still available, but it was so worth buying. I missed out on the additional bonus disc at the time, though. Snooze, you lose

I have a bunch of shirts for which I have affinity.

Alice in Wonderland t-dye that I purchased at the Psychedelic Shop, San Fran, December 1986. Starting to fade some, dont wear it often. Also have a Psychedelic Shop shirt, which has a wizard projecting lightning bolts into an orb with a key in it. Very cool. Also December 1986.

My favorite is the 1977 copyright shirt by Ed Donahue I bought also in 1986 at a head shop in Greenwich Village, Manhattan. My understanding, Ed stuff sold in NE only. It is also on Dave's #39, the guy coming out of the house/camper has it underneath another shirt. You can search Ed Donahue 1977 GD shirt and find the image. I brought it home and took it to an old hippy friend. He airbrushed the back with a combined American Beauty image. It has the rose but says Grateful Dead instead of American Beauty. The GD is the same letting on the back of the album. Then on the bottom of the shirt he improvised, he brushed say 5 dancing skeletons. All with varying states of the skeleton. Dancing, head on, to dancing head missing. In between, it is being taken from the head. I wore it to maybe 5 or 6 GD concerts, it is "my precious." In February 2016, I wore the last time at a Widespread Panic show. People were blown away by it. Got me several cocktails and much smoke during the show. My hometown has always been ultra cop. Search any body any time. New regime. As I walked out of the concert hall, the fuzz was standing at the doors for exit. Except, they were handing out 24 oz bottles of water and wishing all to "Be Safe." Within 10 feet, thru 2 sets of doors, were the nitrous mafia, selling balloons. Pretty sure the cops just thought they were selling helium to go with the circus comes to town vibe.

Nice that this year, get to see 5 shows in two weeks. Panic for 3 and Phish for 2. Never thought we would get here, but we made it. I am so glad.

G

always wish I had more time here...from last week my mother is still kicking, but again, at peace. So thanks again for kind words. Y'all be Fantastic!!!

Oh yeah, I woolite clean only and wear a tshirt under my tie dyes.

Hey rockers!!

So here I am at work...............need I say more?

4/6/69: Concur with Billy The K. Loved this show since I first heard it. Yes, those Fillmore West and Ark shows are awesome, but this is the one I'll carry with me into the afterlife. OMG that Cryptical reprise, Garcia on the Death Don't, the classic pulled plug Viola Lee Blues!! Where is the rest of the broadcast?

4/6/71: Oddballs for all us oddballs. Did somebody spike the water, or was it in the air? And that crazed Truckin' to close the show---very very unusual position. Hey, how about a Manhattan Center mini-box????

Whatever your life's work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better......

Rock on!

ESPN sports writer Wright Thompson is wearing some sort of GD stealie hat on the Masters pre-tournament show. Cannot identify the symbol inside the skull though. Some sort of shield or crest? Stylish dark grey tweed hat with black brim. Doubt if it came from dead net. Oh, and to really ungolf it he's wearing what looks like a bowling shirt.

No regrets. I devoured them back then.
Still do. I need a Snickers.

Maybe they will include the bonus disc with copies of this for non subscribers. To encourage sales. I will buy it anyway - I'm not thinking of myself. Well... maybe a little bit.

My first "bootleg" cassette was a phenomenal audience, maybe the Wagner source or some other FOB, from this the 1st Red Rocks show. All of Set I then beginning Set II through Scarlet and the segue into Fire. A brilliant recording that perfectly captures both the music and the atmosphere of that legendary venue. To my mind without question one of the best first sets of the era, every song is right there, one killer version after another. The Cold Rain opener Set II is my favorite. That tape put you right there DFC.
The cut came right as they transitioned into Fire. I had to wait years to hear the rest. When the Bettys hit the scene this show was inexplicably a mono version split onto 2 channels, a real disappointment. So glad to get that fixed for the box.

7-7-78, the show I "saw" from the parking lot while being told to leave by various security personnel. I did find my friends later and did my job as designated driver. Seemed like we got those teases again in '79 at the rained out RR show in McNichols. Denver is a Nobody's Fault But Mine town. Other towns that always seemed to get a certain song?

A rumbling and rolling Casey Jones started my music listening today, misidentified as 10-16-74 (Bobby’s Birthday Bash - alliterate that!), likely was the next night. If any song shouts “Happy Easter” it’s…not Casey Jones, but it still gets your toes tapping all the same.

Welcome to the playoffs Seattle! I don’t envy your challenge of Vegas, Dallas, LA, but welcome to the show. Leafs tuned up Montreal last night, they are firing on all cylinders, so let’s get this season finished, and on to the big boy games! Team to watch: AVs.

PS - Speaking of Seattle, where has Proudfoot been? Lined up in Seattle for playoff tix?

Easter doesn't seem to have attracted the same cachet with rock n' rollers as Christmas. Apart from the above mentioned album by the 13th Floor Elevators and Calvary by Quicksilver Messenger Service, nothing immediately comes to mind. I'm not sure if The Dead ever did anything in recognition - either in concert or song.

The ultimate piece of music for this day, for me, remains "Dark Was The Night - Cold Was The Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson. A true masterpiece.

Not specifically to do with Easter, but Biblical imagery crops up in many Dead songs - ones they covered and those written by Barlow and Hunter. There must be a list of these online somewhere...off the top of my head, in those three categories, I can think of "We Bid You Goodnight", "Samson and Delilah", "Greatest Story", "Brother Essau", "Mississippi Half Step" and of course "Palm Sunday".

We saw them once on Easter Sunday. Forget when, but it was during the time Phil started singing Box of Rain again and the crowd would chant let Phil sing.

This show my buddy brought an inflatable rabbit about 3 foot tall, wrote on it let Phil sing (or Box?) and sent it down thru the crowd. Ended up on stage and they did the request. Fuzzy on details. I'll have to check with buddy.

My only Easter story.

I think it was Dennis mentioned purchasing the vinyl Garcia “Reflections” album recently that got me thinking - then playing - that album. The song Comes A Time might be the one Dead tune I took the longest to come around to like, but is now a song I really like hearing when it gets played. Funny how some songs knock your sock off first listen, but others have to fester, take their time.
PS - Oh Babe, It Ain’t No Lie is also one cover that so perfectly fits Jerry’s world-weary delivery. A remarkable recording.

I like the earliest versions of this, from Fall 1971. Beautifully sung , and with the extra verse. Strange that it dropped out of rotation for nearly 4 years, before reappearing in 1976 on "Reflections" and on stage.

If I was to pick a song I didn't initially like, but which grew on me over time, I would go for "Tennessee Jed". I wasn't too keen on "Ramble On Rose" either, but they both sound much better to me now than they did when I was a sprog.

Love this song, always have from first listen that I can recall. Not big on Casey Jones, never have been. Ramble On Rose depends on the version, and sometimes my mood. Love the show opening version from DaP 34 6/23/74. It Must Have Been the Roses is less of a hit. Love Row Jimmy, and Tennessee Jed has always hit the spot (5/21/77 with the envelope filter on for the solo is a particular fave). In an irony of sorts "all of my friends" agree that Black Peter is a downer. I have found two that I actually really like, the aforementioned 6/23/74 and DaP 33 10/29/77. Otherwise, it's a plodding, non-melodic bore. Mr. Lemieux wildly disagrees with that assessment, as that is plainly one of his favorite songs given the incredibly disproportionate number of versions released on DiPs or DaPs. Back to ones I dig, Me & My Uncle I like for the ways they mix it up, either lyrically, or musically. It also works extremely well for a break in a trippy Other One. I can't stand Little Red Rooster. My standing rule for years has been to listen to it once on first listen of a release, just to see if there's any reason to ever subject myself to that screeching again or not, and have never found one worth diving back into. 1980s and after versions of Looks Like Rain are similar, but I'll occasionally find something worth a second howling of those street cats either with Jerry's guitar or Mickey doing something interesting. I also skip Around & Around almost every time as well. I'll also have to say Sugar Magnolia is very hit or miss for me, too. On the other hand, a song that used to lead into it frequently, Wharf Rat, is one of my all time favorites. Hunter/Garcia knocked that one out of the park. But I would bet there are people who love Black Peter and hate our sorry Wharf Rat...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I respect diverse opinions.

This is one of my favorite GD tunes. Yes, a "downer" song but powerful. The words are transcendent...the band moves it. As I get older (i'm 68), it means more to me now.

Looking forward to Dave's 46!
