Grateful Dead

I went from tapes, to archive, to official releases, as many also did. I now realize, I never went back to find/listen to the boards of shows I saw. So that is something on my radar for the next time being, maybe 1 per weekend.

Hopefully Hillary will down grade fast as it enters cooler waters in the next 24 hours or so. (?) When it comes to hurricanes, watch barometric pressure. If pressure dips in to low 29's look out. I think Andrew that hit Miami 30+ years ago had pressure into the mid 28's. But of course, for the desert sw it is all about flooding/flash flooding. Hope all are as prepared as TCC. Overkill is better.

We have had a mild summer for where I am. Sure hope we dont have a 100 degree Christmas/New Year's.

Radar showed a band reaching all the way up here in W. Colo. last night.
Fabulous lightning show then a quarter inch of rain in like 25 minutes.
That's a drencher for us and we haven't had anything like that since May-June.
Good luck to all in her path.
Cheers
Did a full focused listen at high volume of DaP 37, Wm. & Mary 4-15-78. Total new respect for that one. Felt like I was there. Apparently I need to get up and dance around more while listening to earn the whole effect!

Was raised in the Midwest and survived a direct hit by a tornado, lived through a few less direct hits of earthquakes, but never a hurricane, so thanks for the advice .... the bathtub is now full!! Stocked up on water & food, gassed up the beast, cleared anything that could fly through the air (just short of cutting down trees!!), everything's charged, flashlights at the ready, emergency contacts contacted, "go-bag" ready and am about as ready as I am able. Once again thanks for any tips..........tcc

having lived in Florida for 38 yrs I am very aware of the destruction a "2" hurricane will cause, and that's in Florida, which is basically a sand bar where back in the day you could set your watch by the afternoon 4 pm rains.
Now I never could read no roadmap and I don't know what the weather might do but if I was in the path of a "2" I'd be stocking up on water ( to drink and to flush and wash a few dishes too) we usually just filled up the bathtub. Power will most likely go out so one should have perhaps a camping stove (propane) and a radio with plenty of batteries. Don't forget about the 4 legged loved ones either, they will be scared and looking for shelter too.
In the past we used to just say "a little wind, a little rain" until we were hit with a direct hit of the eye wall during hurricane Charley in 2004. Trees 40 to 50 ft tall snapping off about 10 ft above ground, crashing all over the place, rain that appeared to go straight, not down, and the worst thing, the howling wind that takes pieces of roof off, a shingle at a time and it if gets a good hold, the entire roof.
Be safe all who is in the path of this, it could be pretty hairy.
Perhaps some good old Grateful Dead to help get thru this, in the past, they seemed to have some sort of ability to effect the weather, so play it LOUD.

I'm in SoCal too Vguy ... out in the desert where the rain doesn't soak in much ... had a pretty good gusher 10 years ago (almost to the day) but expect this could be worse... batten down the hatches and strap in .... it's gonna be an interesting couple of days...........tcc

....I've lived here for all of my 55 years except for 4. Elko called me.
But yeah. This forecast ain't no joke.
But some idiots will think, "What? It's only 2"!"
Yeah. You don't understand rain in the desert. Storms roll in and pop up extremely fast. Good luck.
I do know my geography.
And what Jim said.
5.21.74 is nice.

I really like the one from 10/17/74 Winterland.. but in truth, there isn't a WRS I do not like.

Hang in there Senator. A Hard Rain's......... Gonna Fall.

Wishing the best for all, but especially those in the high country in Southern California. The terrain is not well suited for this type of storm. This could prove to be a big event and a big disruption for that part of the Southwest. ..and it's not like we have absorbed what just happened in Hawaii.

....yup. Tropical depressions aren't something you see every day in the southwest. Expecting anywhere between 1 1/2 and 3 inches of rain, which is a lot for here. SoCal expecting up to 5. Today's high was 103. Sundays high projected to hit 77. '77 was a grate year.
Edit. Just dropped like 15 degrees here in an hour. Dewpoint is 66. Humidity also 66. Now I ain't no meteorologist, but thats some unstable atmosphere.
Anyone got some choice Weather Report Suites to recommend?
Edit. Nevermind. Found one! Seattle 5.21.74 from the outstanding PNW box. I turned 6 that day! 🥳
It's already coming down hard here. Massive thunder and lighting. I doubt I'll see my female pittie for a few days. She hates loud noises. Camped under the computer desk for now.
My male dog could care less lol.

BTK, knew you had to have been there! With all the fantastic releases we've all collected (Dicks, Daves, Road Trips, Boxes, 30 Days of), I rarely take the time to dip into some of the shows collected in the old taping days ... and for sure haven't seen video of any of it (except may the US Festival) ... thanks for the u tube tip... I'm on it!! thnx much............tcc

Looks like a nice compilation

GD Golden Road

Cool

It's too bad they can't include some "listening enhancements" with the collection. Wink wink, nudge nudge.
