Grateful Dead

That Anaheim Shakedown is one of my favorites. You can watch how quickly they move in and out of improvisation. Just an amazing 10 minutes or so of music. Also love that Looks Like Rain. On that dvd set, I think from memory, you can see Jerry flub with no reaction from Bobby, then Bobby flub a little, and then look to Jerry for stern correction but none comes.

Love My Girl...what an incredible post. Have not run across the original poster but will soon, just behind.

Finally listening to Garcialive 20 and what a great release. Kind of a precursor to the groove for JGB from that point through his main band for the 80s and 90s. The two keyboard line-up on this is great in that Melvin Seals lays down his soulful Hammond B3 with the Leslie with Jimmy Warren on the Fender Rhodes and Clavinet.

Run For the Roses is a great wrap up for the main show set, but this version of They Love Each Other as an encore is possibly the funkiest version I've heard. The clavinet give the groove sort of an "Up On Crippled Creek" vibe.

Note to self - I need to explore this Jerry Band era more. I'll file this release under "essential".

I'm more-or-less off work for the rest of this week (the only benefit of working as support staff for a public school) so one of the things I plan to do today is to give some love to DaP 31. When this one arrived I was juuust back at work for another school year, and things were quite hectic. I had my 15 min commute in which to listen to music uninterrupted, but that was largely it.

Looking at the digipak and its contents, I can't really remember much about this one at all! Oddly, what I do recall is playing the 12/4 filler material a lot, but I'm guessing that's because each song (Estimated, Franklin's) fit well into one leg of my commute. So this is going to be almost like a maiden voyage.

Back in the day '79 was a wasteland for my tape collection. I had 4/22, and I had 11/25 set II. And then David Gans played 10/27/79 II on the GDH, and I recorded that. But otherwise this period of GD history is one of the 'final frontiers' for me. I'm always up for a bit of exploration, though! This is gonna be fun. Cheers all

Thanks for the heads up - I'm back in again.

Okay now, where the heck is this thing? Anyone get a shipping notice?

Daverock, what a great show, The Stones & George Thuorogood. I saw the Stones play one time in 1994, The Voodoo Lounge Tour. They opened the show with Not Fade Away, Charlie Watts kicked the show off by himself on stage, then the Stones came out and launched into Not Fade Away. They had a place called The Voodoo Lounge for all the Famous people to hang out, apparently Garcia & Weir were both in there. I still have my plastic Voodoo Lounge beer cup. Fun times.

Dave Rock,I've just posted without any difficulty on the page,so it's now up and running again.

So for the delay, dead computer.

Did you order the vinyl copy too. I did and I wondered if they were mailing them out together. I don't have any of the email stuff from that order since I lost a chunk of email. I was planning on waiting for the vinyl to come and see if the cd was in there,,, if not, then bitch. But if others have ordered both AND have already received the cd........

I know some places and some things they let you opt for a single shipment vs everything separate.

...and BTK, I caught their following show in SoCal shortly thereafter ... it was damn hot in Anaheim Stadium that day, but alot of fun as it was Mrs. Cat's first show! Until that day, she didn't really "get" the parking lot scene, and was fascinated by it all. We just booted up the video of Shakedown yesterday! Just gotta poke around! ..........tcc

Is it still possible to put a post on the 1973 box page? I have tried to put a few pearls of wisdom on there over the last day, and been blocked every time ,and offered a "hey now etc" explanation highlighted in pink. And yet my post on here was accepted straight away.
