Grateful Dead

Things are never so bad they can't be made worse.
Humphrey Bogart

Another pathetic effort. Matthews, Marner and Tavares should be ashamed of themselves. All of the big money boys failed to show up.

Yes DR, looks like a 3 set show. 11 song 1st, 11 song 2nd, 9 song 3rd, and 2 encores. Now those were the days (that I never saw). Hometown crowd, daytime show, Jerry acknowledges crowd with a real happy to be here or the like on third song or so. Notes say first show after Pigpen's death but not sure. Should be a killer for the HCS box!
Sam Bush has been at every (I think?) Telluride Bluegrass, now on it's 50th year! Now that's durability. His sets are usually billed as the house band. A very talented and versatile musician. So many greats have graced that little stage. Would have been killer to see the Dead there in '87. I passed foolishly.
Cheers

It's a three-set wonder, as are all the shows in May plus 6/10/73.

These shows were so long it would have been tricky to get them released as Dave's Picks. May 73 had box set written all over it. HF, did they contact you for the liner notes on 6/9 or 6/10? (kidding, but they should have contacted you)

Haven't made the Telluride Bluegrass Fest yet.. but it's on the list. Been to many DelFest's. Lot a poor man got them Cumberland Blues....

Istshow- I had a really good sound quality of that on tape too. Then a recording I downloaded onto a cd from a website -possibly called Deadshow of the month. There were a few podcasts I used to be able to record onto cds about 15 years ago. I could never separate the tracks though - so a 7 track cd would only play as one track, with no way of accessing individual tracks. If you had a break half way through - you had to go back to the beginning.

But the Kezar recording stands out in my memory as being really good quality, and a really good show. I can remember thinking at the time though,that the first set seemed really, really long. Almost as though they played two first sets,then came on and played the the third - and this third was more like a typical second set. One I used to like playing in the car on long drives "up north". Memory is a funny thing, though.

Good call on Sam Bush!

I wasn't overly familiar with him until a festival called, Del Fest, came to my hometown of Cumberland, MD!

Sam Bush has been there I think every year of the festivals 15 years.

His enthusiasm and skill radiate from the stage!

Also, how cool is the fact that my hometown is called, Cumberland!!

I wound up breaking out the dvd Ticket To New Years.

Back in the day my roommates and I had this on repeat for months!! Wonderful stuff, indeed

Cheers, gang, Happy Sunday spinning

Finishing my excellent Kezar '73 tape - 2nd set left.
23rd annual Telluride Bluegrass festival - 6-22-96, Sam Bush & friends sets.
Doc & Richard Watson - Third Generation Blues
If I can get all that in.
Aren't they playing some hockey today/tonight? Seems like a lot of time between games. Playoffs take forever and viewing competition with NBA and now even baseball.
Cheers

....whatcha all going to spin this Sunday?
It's 11:11.

At least they are on the DaP 46 I received in the mail yesterday.
Arrived 9 days after I received the email with the tracking number. That’s normal for my orders.

Yesterday listened to the bonus disc first as a warm up, then set 1.
Now on set 2 and the China Cat->Rider was very nice.
Sound quality is great.
Will listen to all the CD’s to make sure that they are not defective, then copy to HD, rearrange the tracks to correct order, convert to ALAC, and load onto a music player.
Will also combine and put in order all tracks from 9/3 that we have from the bonus disc and DP36.

And yes, just ejected CD2 and put in CD3 so that I can listen to the show in order.
Still less work than flipping vinyl.

The cover artwork makes me think of Hotel California.

Thanks Dave/Rhino/OSF/Norman/etc.
Keep the releases coming!
And where’s 3-2-69 vinyl?
