    The sixth was ok, good but nothing special…

    Onto these beauties today. Heard them mentioned over the years but have never checked em…

    BC, definitely spend the time with 12/31/80, “a really beeg shoe”
    Glad I finally got to it.
    You’ll Definitely dig the Bear tape on that sweet can set up you got going!

    Yeah things were so different back then. Until they got the hotline and then GDTS it was like the Wild West in the wilderness. So many shows that might have been if we’d only known : (
    Mail order was heaven sent as trying to get out of town tics before was next to impossible.
    Edit: yeah BC POTDWD was just the ticket during those days of uncertainty.
    Yes big thanks to Bolo and Marye, but GOGD really was the high point for me. I’ve “met” so many cool cats here, but something really clicked for me with GOGD. It’s like he was some kind of mysterious spirit that came and went with the pandemic. Things just ain’t been the same…
    And that was my gateway drug for shows lol. It got us all listening to tons of shows and many we might not of heard otherwise, and eventually I realized I’m listening to all these shows, maybe I should try and hit em all? And that of course doesn’t work very well on a forum requiring different people to do a group thing. So I realized that that path is for my steps alone lol
    So I love POTDWD, but can’t expect a group of more “normal” DH to try to keep up with my madness lol…
    Fortunately I’ve got the time to keep on Truckin’ Onward!..through the fog lol
    And fortunately we have this fun board to talk about em!

    The interviewer gets interviewed lol
    So Mary, did you know anything about the dead before or was it just something to do?
    I bet growing up in the Bay Area everybody at least had heard of the GD, but perhaps not many “KNEW” the GD? Perhaps thought of negatively by the normal masses of John Q Publics? Interesting sociologically.

    I had been steadily indoctrinated lol, so had been impatiently itching and waiting for about a year before I got my chance, seems maybe it was all complete unknown serendipity with you?
    If so, I can’t imagine going in a blank slate, especially NYE!
    Quite the baptism by fire eh!
    Did ya dance, twirl, do the boogaloo, melt in the last row, or just stand agape with your jaw on the floor lol come on, inquiring minds want more! Lol ; )

    Yeseterday had a hankering to hear Dark Hollow and reached for Ladies and Gentleman. It sounded so good that I"m back with Disc 1 in the predawn, this time listening on the Senns. That early '71 Skull and Roses sound is bliss. Those early Bird Songs are such jewels. Now skipped to Disc 4 cause I want some of that Alligator jam for breakfast.

    Oro - you're the hardest working man in show business!! Still waiting for a cryptic Almanac reference to you and a "DHB" - aka a "deadheadbrewer" - the hat trick of GD show listening. Ah, those heady early days of POTDWD when we had so much time (thank you Bolo24 and MaryE for that gift!) Nowadays I feel lucky to get a solid full show deep listen once or twice a week.

    Definitely need to borrow the time machine for 12/31/80 . Don't think I've ever heard it, certainly not in its entirety straight through (reported.) I remember my first listen to Reckoning, it was very late night summer of '81, and it just blew us away. Still wasn't that tuned into the GD world and I had no idea. Just checked and the LP release date was April 1 - pretty funny! Closest I probably came to an acoustic set - with close being a relative multivariant concept - was probably that Rambler Room one-off on11/17/78. About 10 miles from the house but probably not back on Turkey Day break yet, and also that Uptown run was not on my radar at the time so yeah not quite that close. Anybody looking for a banger Fall '78 listen try Set II from the next night (Uptown 11/18) - it kicks ass and it needs to be released.

    As for Indy 12/5/81 - when Dave finally releases it I'm pretty sure he's gonna say it was originally being considered for Dave's 20 ; ) I mean dropping a Big Railroad into the middle of that killer Set II pre-drumz?? Wat is happening?! That Space > Wheel is so very fine. Sweet sweet show.

    What a first show Mary. Must have been a blast.
    Would love to see this entire run released as a box set.

    Oh yes, Bills are still looking good OB. The Vikes have been getting it done. Bears on Monday night.

    I'm still stunned. Among other things, it had the acoustic set, soon to be famous on Reckoning. It ended with Ripple, which was new to me, and here I am.

    Big show to start today, followed by 12/6/89 as we finish 1980 and move to finish the end of 89.

    BTK (actually, the whole run), and Marye were there and I believe this might have been Mary’s first show?
    If so, we’d love some stories : )

    I had a tape of p/o this show way BITD but don’t remember it at all so it will be a treat to check out the whole show!

    Being the holidaze and all I haven’t gotten the best listens in to this run, so haven’t noticed a lot of standouts, (that’s me not the shows) but overall I’d say they start out the run with good, solid consistent performances like much of this under appreciated year, and seem to build every night through the run.
    From the Rockin Bama/Promised land, somewhat rare for time TLEO, and overall good first set (seconds a blur?), to hot Strangers, Sugarees, Half Steps, China Riders, couple hot Truckin’s, a nice Shakedown, sweet China Doll, Fun Casey Jones encore, hot FOTD on the 30, in fact all of the 30 seemed a step up, just a four show blur of consistent solid enjoyable GD!
    No hometown slacking this run!

    So now onto the big finale, including a nice capstone to the 1980 acoustic revival and one of the last of a mere few acoustic sets they’d play.
    Onward!
    EDIT: Hmmmmm and it’s a Bear recording…

    Thanks DV, maybe someday I get my own blog LOL
    Go VIKS! (Too nervous about Bills Lions after that LA fiasco)

    I thought I'd go back to the St. Louis box, and play the shows in sequence-something I haven't done since it came out. The opening 1971 shows, from 12/9 and 12/10 are great. Maybe not routinely recognised as among the best shows of the era, there is still plenty to enjoy here. 12/9 features no extended jams as such, but they seem to me to be more in tune with the spirit of rock n' roll than they ever would be in any other year. Although they persisted in covering rock n' roll well into middle age, those later excursions often come across as light relief, before or after the more serious fare. Here every song is played with commitment. They sound as though they are having a good time.

    Initially, 10/12 sounded less impressive to me. The same sort of thing as the previous night...again. Until the final cd where they stretch out into the future. An amazing rocking jam.
    Starting on 10/17/72, the first cd passed me by a bit, but the opening Cumberland and Playin' in the Band on the second cd of this show are as good versions of these two songs as any I can immediately remember.
    So there we go - a great box! And plenty to come.

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.

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!

...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.
