    Yeah, it’s crazy how much what we’re thinking/doing etc can effect the show we’re listening to…

    I’ve been back and forth with parts of this for years, but this time I did em in order etc and think I’ve got a good handle now lol.
    Onto Cal X today…

    That was a great show! Nice Weather Report Suite.

    Took a break from the GOGD yesterday, and spun a few Steely Dan albums.

    Currently giving 50 another run until 51 arrives in the mail.

    Peace

    If Alpine 89 gets the treatment and I listen to it again, I might see the full light of that run.

    5 7 89 I avoided that show for a long time because my first listen back in the day had me thinking "meh". Then a few weeks ago I listened again and it was blissful.

    I haven't given up on Alpine 89...I just need to hear it again at the right time.

    Currently listening to 12 29 77

    Ja, gerne

    Wellll?
    Short version: doesn’t hang with the big boys.
    First sets good, and Box O, then as is often the case, FH is strained and ole JG has perhaps lost his edge? Flubs a bit of LLR which is not a top shelf version anyway, then Terrapin (I’m mind missing?)
    TOO is ok but nothing special, wheel gets flubbed, but then, aaahhh, lol, like I told my Other one, “watch, he can stumble half the night, but if he nails this Dew, all will be forgotten, and the poor shlub who was miserable in the rain all night…40 years later, he’ll only remember that Dew”, and so sure as your born ….lol. Man I miss Jer!
    So not a bad show, by the high standards of this tour, perhaps below the bar, certainly not RJ. Seemed like another last show of the tour, where like athletes, they just ran outta gas a bit.
    Be interesting to see how this run shakes out?
    Ok, mañana onto Cal X.
    Onward!

    Pigasus and the Daley Center - and 7/25/1974

    Good catch on that detail, Bluecrow - you are quite right about the location of the Pigasus nomination. Not sure how I got that confused with the Int'l Amp, but I'm sure it's from going down wiki rabbit holes and losing track.

    I've finally got a copy of 7/25/74, all ready for listening while I do some work tomorrow. At last! I'm excited. I had disc III of 5/14/74 still in my car's CD player when I picked up my brother yesterday. We got to our destination but we were 10 minutes early and he said, "ok, park, but don't turn this off... this is SO good." (It was the NFA->GDTRFB closer) If you do manage to track down the mystery taper for this one, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I will eagerly be listening as you relay more details. Cheers.

    Remember my “first”, folks older, experienced folks I was with took us to late night burrito place, used Togo late night all the time, like clockwork. That night, food? Couldn’t fathom it or why you’d want to? And the florescent lights and GIANT fish tanks almost freaked me out lol. Of course eventually I learned that food could be good too lol
    Man, just looked up, what a ride!
    Might as well travel the elegant way!

    And I was designated driver, lol. I guess I was the Capt. trips because it was well known I could keep it together no matter what. Tim's (CA Deadhead who got me on the bus in the dorm at Colo. State in 1975) '66 Mercedes 200 batwing no less. He trusted me on ski trips with that too. Likely my favorite car to drive of all time. I remember laughing hysterically with the people still in the car while the others were getting some food. We couldn't imagine why they would want to eat food. We don't need no stinking burgers! A good time was had by all. Appreciate the props bro.

    Gave the 18th a full sit down last night, which I hadn’t done in awhile.
    Holy crap what a good show! My recollection was that the first night (has always been!) HOT. But that the next two nights were good, but maybe not RJ?
    Maybe just set and setting, but boy I really dug the 18th last night, almost got up outta my seat a few times like Dave says lol
    So once I’m awake enough lol, going to try for the 19th next…
    I know PF and others don’t fully embrace these, and as I say, over the years I’ve not always felt the full eeeleck tricity, but it sure clicked last night.
    I think there’s occasionally a looseness during this time that occasionally might lead certain types to head scratch. Like their not full on or something? I think it’s just their having fun, and are in such a good place that their relaxed and loose and just letting it flow? Who knows?

    I unfortunately don’t recall so much from being there except that it was good, and the new, steep hill to accommodate more people, but not the crazy oversold monsoon mob and our awesome DIY slip and slide down the hill lol.
    And I’ve now seen the video so many times I can’t recall much specifically.

    But to me, the thing that makes this time so special is Garcia! He’s not only playing well, he’s really enjoying himself. You can literally see it!
    I didn’t watch any of it last night (supposedly the 18th was a MUATM?) but I could just see him in my minds eye after watching DH the previous night.
    All the vids from this time show how much fun he was having and it showed in his playing! (wish they’d give us more vids, legacy tech and all…)

    ISTSHOW: lol, synesthesia at prime proper upscale jazz show!
    I bet THAT was interesting, yer a warrior!
    The setting reminds me of a late eighties Metheny show, muggy, hot, with too much humidity, and excessive stealth bullet usage smack dab in the middle of upscale crowd etc…”dude, yer gonna get us kicked out or worse”, me= “it’s melting, so I HAVE to do it all” I should write a book lol

    Great story 1stshow, and I bet that was an awesome show!

GarciaLive, Vol. 19

has been on my radar since the release in 2022; eventually I'll shake the short change from my old fruit jar, lol!
thanks for asking; had a great weekend with the FEAT, and even better when the wife and I got together with very dear friends.

Funny though, how BK (before kids) we were always hangin' out enjoyin' life, going to see the GD or P & F, and spending vacation time together, now 30 years upon our heads, absolutely crazy how time moves forward, anyway...
always make the most of what you've got, and don't take it for granted or push it aside, especially friends.

I put on my dancin' shoes
We headed straight for the rhythm and blues!

Saw him with Other Ones at Fiddlers Green 8/29 - just dumping rain during his set and it was a cold Colorado rain. Despite that, a fun night. Hornsby sits down at the piano as Other Ones take stage for Set I (rain had stopped?) and immediately begins tuning Dark Star. Friend and I just looked at each other with ear to ear grins. All in!

almost forgot about last week's 1974-06-30, most enjoyable and will return to Springfield Civic soon. Was reading the Vol 1 Compendium last night, and got to the incident where RAMROD got clunked on the skull by one of the tapers because he wanted to confiscated the guy's tape deck. wow, heavy, as told/written by Jerry Moore

...since the last NE show [6/30/74], so looking towards that energy boost with today's listen of Hartford 1974-07-31, got the DL many moons ago which was burned to CD and then imported to my phone (yup the version with the UJB encore tacked onto china>rider), so while it's not daP2 version, it's still going to be a FUN listen.

Bear Family's recent "Memphis Blues Box" is a massive journey into the heart of the blues - from 1914 to 1969.

Last Dead -Shrine 11/10/67 from 30 Trips - although I listened to the record. Incredible stuff it is too, however you hear it. Starts high energy with "Viola Lee Blues" on side one, and by the time we get to sides 5 and 6, with "Alligator-Caution" it's like a train going offa the tracks.

Deep diving into late 60s jazz lately, Freddie Hubbard, Miles, Coltrane. Surfaced this morning with my first listen to Scofields Uncle John's band. Wonderful stuff, had forgotten how great Stewart is on drums, more his up next. Nice to see love for Live at Leeds and would humbly suggest to those who might have not, check out the next night at Hull, though much the same, still great and Keith Moon might edge his Leeds.

Needs to be a Dave’s, preferably DaP 51.

First exposure was in the 90’s when I got the CD. Played it many times. So got the vinyl a few years ago but was kind of let down that it was a single LP and not all the songs that were on the CD.
But, must have been awesome in 1970 when it came out. Maximum R&B!
Never got the Leeds 2 CD reissue, so maybe time to get Leeds reissue and Hull.

This show gets 3-4 LISTENS every year around these here parts because it's all together and it ALL works during the ENTIRE SHOW with an energetic 1st SET and SUPER enjoyable smooth JAMS in Set 2.

Just snagged DaP 9,10,11, and 12 with 2014 Bonus.
Digging on Vol. 11 tonight.
Thought I would get the '72 show out of the way first. If everything works out right, I will be flooded with '72 shows next week.
