    Another smash offering from DL and company. I didn't know of this show until it was released, and it knocked me off my feet!!!

    I remeber sitting my buddy down and saying, "get ready dude!" I played him China Cat through the encore....when it was done, he looked at me, and simply said, "fuck man"

    Fun times, only possible with GD, and some good smoke, preferably

    rock on, gang

    Obeah's tale, anniversary date, and fact that close (lived across the street) high school friend from Chi-town area was at this show has me listening to Hunter Seamon's matrix (on the road now so my copy of DaP 20 not available.) Back around Christmas '81 mailed some tapes to Chris. He replied with tapes and a letter that included him being at the Boulder show - spoiler - it was freaking great. Side note - youngest brother and some friends and I saw the Rosemont show 3 nights earlier. That show had some cool moments - like a Set II To Lay Me Down and a Pearl Harbor Space - but it also marked the end of the Uptown Theatre era in Chicago and I think Boulder (plus Indy) smoked it. My personal feeling was that acoustics in the Rosemont sucked and what we lost was the mighty Uptown Theatre. That same high school friend wrote that he had heard rumors that a final run at the Uptown had been planned but fell through and that the Dead even considered buying the Uptown (latter seems a bit out there but ??). As it turned out the final Uptown concert ever was a Jerry Band show 11/17/81 ~3 weeks before the Rosemont show. That was my first of four Jerry shows, with youngest brother and Bill and Laura - we were in the balcony, it was crazy fun. So back to the point - listening to Boulder - np a ripping China - Rider to end Set I.

    edit - i was mistaken that the 11/17/81 JGB show was the last concert in the Uptown. Zappa played 10 days later, there was also Rolling Stones simulcast from the Rosemont (of all places) in that span. J Geils Band w/ Southside Johnny and Asbury Jukes last show there{?} 12/19/81. A burst frozen water pipe in December '81 took the Uptown off line (so to speak). So my memory of the last days of the Uptown skewed by half baked memory and maybe rumor - but yeah it seems that for some reason the GD couldn't make it work/chose not to and that JGB show was sorta/maybe Jerry's farewell to what was a favorite venue for a few years.

    The Strange Odyssey of 12/9/81

    BITD, the days of USENet, I looked over my list of tapes and realized I was really hurting on '80-'81-'82. I had started trading with some guy in Canada, and I saw on his list that he had a bunch of early 80s boards. So I asked him to select some of the very best. I remember one was the '82 "Raven Space" show; the second escapes me entirely now; and the third was 12/9/81 Boulder, CO.

    Back then, tracking info wasn't what it was today, and in this case it was taking even longer since it wasn't a domestic mailpiece. I kept waiting for the tapes to arrive, but to no avail. Finally one morning a couple of neighborhood kids came to my porch as I was standing there looking at the day's mail delivery, a delivery that once again contained no packages. The kids said something like, "are you looking for your cassettes?" and with a sinking feeling I asked them how they could know that. Well, it came out that their sometime friend, a boy maybe 10-11 years old, had porch-pirated me and had stolen my package!

    So I walked down to his house, one of the first McMansions on our block, and knocked on the door. His parents were sympathetic, and the kid was made to confess and apologize, but for some of the tapes it was too late - he'd found the music uninspiring, apparently, and had set about destroying the tapes by unspooling them and throwing them around. One was actually visible hanging from a nearby utility line.

    The now-unremembered show was one of the casualties. So was tape II of the Raven Space show. I seem to recall that tape I survived with only minor damage (I was able to re-spool it). However, both sets of 12/9/81 were untouched. And what a show!

    There are some good shows from this date - the Fox in '71; Kiel 8 years later; the LA Forum in '89. But this is my go-to show on December 9th. Thanks, Dave, for releasing this one! (And thanks to those kids for ratting out their 'friend')

    Probably one of my top DaP and another neglected, underplayed show.
    Nothing like a proper matrix!

    Then fresh meat, 12/6/80!

    And another new for me: 12/12/80, Sshwinngg!

    Fun story OBEAH!

    J918 - I hear ya - passions run high re Fall '79 - lots of fine shows to choose from. This week's Tapers Section has Set II opener from Indy 12/7/79 (show between Uptown run and St. Louis). Phil dialed up, could use a little more Jerry(?). Very nice slice regardless.

Drinking a cup of dark black Colombian Supremo, roasted the beans myself.
With warmer weather around the corner it’s time for outdoor coffee bean roasting season.
Recently got a 25 lb bag of green unroasted Columbian Supremo to keep me busy this year.

...get on with the show, let's go! oakland 1992-12-16 diP #27 a very nice solid show to wrap-up a quick mini tour of 1992.

gonna have some time to listen to davis gym @ bucknell this week [saturday's visit to lewisburg cancelled cause long distance son came up w/ respiratory ailment; no sense travelling if you are not running in your event], and had originally planned on streamin' during the drive to campus.

everyone have a FUN DAY!

enough of the pennsylvania landscape [traveling 800 miles in 5 days to venues on back roads before many interstates were completed]

...all that shines is not gold...

1971-04-14 @ bucknell; will finish-off this show today; (maybe EQ abit heavy on bertha, china>rider) but
this is THE GOGD that got so many freaks UNITED

...and you got to reap just what you sow

what do you think...Second that Emotion...Garcia sounding like a precursor to TLEO

It sucks when life experiences cause you to get behind.
I am currently immersed in the greatness of this box.
1st Boston show last night.
2nd Boston show is rolling tonight.
Packaging is awesome [#04229], and the sound is amazing!
I must acquire more '76 Dead in the near future.
Peace

Is also a great album, although the hey now thing is trying to stop me saying so. The 4cd set, featuring the outtakes and a show from 9/26/73 is really good.

Jump right in, the water's fine.
Except for the apparently A.I. powered censorship which appeared a few months ago and is very random and hard to figure what they think is not OK. Just keep trying and eliminating words until it will post.
Latest release (DaP 50) is usually where daily discussions happen and check the recent posts tab (upper right in drop down) to see what else is shakin'.

Speaking of mid 70's white Southern rock bands - the first American band I ever saw was Black Oak, supporting Black Sabbath circa 1974. You don't hear much about them now. Maybe their albums weren't top draw, but they were a hoot live.

A few people welcomed me which is amazing! I guess 'Reply' is not to an individual? I do not internet much. I will get there.

This morning: new Guided By Voices single off the forthcoming record, and then a few times to "Sugaree" 5.22.77. That first solo. Jerry and Keith are just magical in that performance.
