Grateful Dead

can't seem to stop playing these:
If I could Only Remember My Name
It's All Coming Back To Me Now
4-way Street
CS&N
Crosby & Nash Wind on the Water
Deja Vu
Miss you David, Vaya con Dios, mi amigo
I will try a pallet cleanser with 2-21-71 Grateful Dead live at the Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY

Even the rains better in America. There were no trippy natural psychedelic effects when it rained at festivals in England that I can remember. Unless you'd taken some, of course. Knee deep in a muddy bog more like. You can see it in the photos of Bickershaw.
I thought that was a strange notion mentioned by Strang3 - a casual GD fan. Then I wondered if I was one myself in the context of this board. I typically listen to 3-4 shows a week. With no missed songs.

Instead of just having a box set from 1969, I think it would be great if they released a box set that included shows from 1967, 1968, 1969, & 1970, two or three shows from each year. They could start with 3/18/67 the original Grateful Dead 5 members . Also include acoustic music from 69/70 shows. That would be a killer of a box set!

I think the four disc releases have always been more.
You don't have to pay that difference or any shipping if you subscribe early.
A value for sure.
Cheers

Topchinacat, It seems it always rained at some point in every Telluride Bluegrass but I did see two dry Jazz Fests. The setting is impressive surrounded by those tall peaks. Even more impressive from the top of lift 12 which is said to rival Swiss views. The best ski area in Colorado all things considered. "It was great. But don't tell anybody" - Mike Dolgushkin in Deadbase X re: the first Red Rocks shows.

Seems like they raised the price a little this year, wasn't it $30 or $35 last year? I'm lucky I subscribed but I'm guessing the shipping is $10 still. So nearly $50 for each Dave's picks seems like a little too much for the casual gd fan to shell out, can't say I blame em. This is a top notch show that I expected to sell out fast so I'm surprised it's still available, but with the price bump, I suppose it makes sense. Regardless, I'm psyched for it to land in the next week or so.

vguy...same thing happened to me when I acquired Garcia 18; I had never heard Valdez in the Country before, and when I popped that one in, the jazzy nature of it really struck me. It's god a really cool groove and Jerry rips it up with his comrades. It's a good one and now you're making me go bust that one out and have another listen.
Funny how things work like that, eh?

Be Well People!

I planned a road trip around the Dead "on the Rocks" in '82 and a couple of weeks later, caught the Jazz Festival in Telluride (a week or so after their big BlueGrass Festival). 40 years ago, I thought Telluride the best, now I might consider it a draw! Unfortunately, I passed on the Dead in Telluride in '87... and after all these years, I made it back and the venue hasn't changed much at all (good!). From my notes from summer of '82 (be kind, this was a long time ago and I was young!).........."The amazing thing about the whole area is that it is in a bowl, so the weather really forms in the bowl. Spontaneous is the next best word for Colorado weather. And the sound of the music could be heard bouncing off the walls split-seconds after it is heard from the speakers. Personally, I like this whole amphitheater best of any I’ve been at to-date, including Red Rocks. So at one point in the evening, the sky clouded and lightning lit up the sky directly behind the stage. It was incredible and the crowd loved it. Then, the thunder would boom and bounce off the walls of the bowl and literally rumble. YEEEEAH! And between sets, they shot off fireworks off the hill right above the crowd/stage. Was incredible to watch the trails shooting all over the sky. Too much - lightning, thunder, fireworks, jazz!! "

Where is the setlist?

Box set '23
From Egypt With Love '78
I don't see TPTB going with a '73 box set as it would just a bit to obvious.The other day I posted about a stand alone release I have a very good prediction for a standalone release that's very timely, Bear's Choice Volume 2.
