    Dave, I was waiting for inspiration to strike! Excellent call on the band & era ... just pulled TD's Bootleg Series 1. That ominous ambient intro to the first Reims set (12/74) is apropos of the Gothic venue. That one would make rank on the Time Travel Wish List.

    Earlier, the punky hard rock sounds of Rocket from the Tombs seemed the right antidote for some work-related production stress ("The Day the Earth Met...", "Rocket Redux", and "Barfly"). The more difficult things become on that front, the louder, faster & more strident the music from my speakers tends to be.

    The 31st I’ve heard but giving it the once over again.
    The 30th things pick up with a different, noticeable energy versus the previous 2 shows. A fine show and similar to earlier in the fall.
    The 27&28 are good shows, perhaps just not as much juice?
    CAT, Hamza Drumz, and Baby Blue stood out on the 27.

    28 had a nice Muddy, Stella, fun Victim>FH to close first, with one of the show highlights being the sweet jam out of FH! In fact, where they maybe don’t always rock as hard here, there’s many cool jams during the fall/winter, which lends to a different kind of goodness! Think Bruce was into getting Jer to loosen up and explore these tours? The jam outta He’s Hone is a good example and another show highlight.

    The 30th opens with an up Bertha, and SMOKIN’ Stranger! Sweet Candyman, High Time, boogieing Bobs, and fun, unfortunately last Valley Road.
    Second we’ll played, with another big Playin/jam/Drumz to be dug. Whole set is good but ole Jers voice is starting to ware at the edges a bit, which doesn’t bother me.
    31st has a good personal story, but a bit off color, so we’ll just give this fine show and fitting end for a (sans Brent’s passing) awesome year a ride, one mo time!
    Onward!

    This Black Friday release of the Glasgow 11/20/74 is great. A double album - the last side featuring excerpts from another show in 1974. In the same space as Phaedra and Rubycon, but the whole shows were improvised at this time, from beginning to end. This a really good one.
    Best get a pal to hold on to your ankles if you play it...you may end up floating up and away.....

    Sorry to see Earl Holliman pass. Truth be told I didn't know he was still alive, let alone 96.

    I always enjoyed him in Forbidden Planet and The Rainmaker.

    He had a good run.

    Happy B-Day PF!!

    Sort of slipped by me the subtext to the 12/3/79 listen. Guessing you were living in Rockford or thereabouts? 12/3 was my second show. I think it was a great show, certainly we all had fun! Lots of kvetching over that release versus other shows from Fall '79 but that era had so many great shows and folks have their own favorites. Sound quality of the release doesn't do it justice, but there's a circulating matrix that some may think captures it a bit better. Outside of some of the versions in May '77, the Jack-A-Roe is my personal favorite - start is similar in feel to those early versions and Jerry's solo is sublime. I think Phil quotes/echoes the bass line for Love Supreme late in the Playing jam. The Trucking to end Set II is take no prisoners. I'm sure it was pandemonium in the balcony.

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.

DaP 12 - Disc 2
One of the greatest examples of what a great rhythm player Bobby became.
Since Doc went all over the net today salivating over the '71 Bucknell show, I have it on deck for tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip!

...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.

after bucknell......well, I'll be on a GOGD siesta until #50 arrives in the mail...
everyone have a FUN DAY!

PEACE for ALL!
uncle_tripel

edit: looking at the Archive right now,
it appears identifier #132733 is the SDBD from Latvala which has had
some static reduced and speed corrected +limited EQ
will LISTEN to it

...pennsylvania performance" for spring tour '71; with that intro it surely sounds like Sam has already seen
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

...well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long...well you lied, you cheated, oh-oh for so long...

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.
