    Thanks to Dave Rock for the recommendation. I’ve streamed several albums over the past few days and none have been less than excellent. I thought that since I’d played so much where the band wouldn’t see a lot of cash I should buy some. I’m playing ‘Travelling the great circle’ at the moment. The DVD that’s included has some fantastic music on it., although the visuals are, almost, unwatchable given the level of flickering in the image. My wife certainly couldn’t watch as she can have migraines triggered by flashing lights. She loves the music as well.
    I ordered another box set ‘Trees of Eternity’ and expect that to be delivered later today. Highly recommended.

    Doc, bummer you missed the 28th.

    When people are brought to their first show by someone with more experience they should be informed that the next night will be a different set list, so come again.
    Different situation if each show is in a different city though.

    My second show was 7-17-89, I didn’t know that I should go to all 3 nights. Of course, I didn’t have the funds for a 3-night run, and I had a job that I was expected to show up at.
    Then made it to 7-21,22-90 but didn’t buy tix for the 3rd night due to the job, but then I had to call in sick anyway on 7-23 from a pay phone at a rest area on I-55. We left the campground late and I forgot to factor in that I was in a different time zone and was going to lose an hour getting back to my time zone.

    Yasss. How I dearly love the 6/28/85 show. And I appreciate and value the reports from folks like Uncle Tripel who were there! *edit* -- I meant to mention you as well Oro :) and of course Doc mentioned it recently too. Y'all are the best, ty for taking the time to share your memories with those of us who couldn't be there

    And that 9/21/72 show is incredible. I was also unaware... I've said elsewhere that it was just a random idiosyncrasy of my tape collection back in the day, but the latter half of '72 was simply unrepresented. I had some Europe material of course, and I had 8/21 and 8/24 from BCT and of course Veneta, but then nothing at all until Maples Pavilion to kick off '73. So all of that amazing Fall and Winter Tour was unknown to me until fairly recently. When I first heard the PITB from Houston in Nov '72 I thought my headphones were going to catch fire.

    The silver lining: I am still working my way through this INCREDIBLY fruitful and musical period in GD history, most shows being heard for the 1st time. What a treat. Someone - was it you as well, Doc? - mentioned Dave's 46 recently, and I'm about to give that one only the second full listen since I got it. Wonders await...

    ..."with our highly trained equipment crew, equipment crew, equipment crew"

    I remember the rain leaking through the blue tarp that covered the top of the stage onto Kreutzmann's cymbals, and each time he hit it he closed his eyes to avoid the rainwater from splashing into his face.

    I remember Garcia dressed in his blue sportcoat/blazer and he too watch as the rainwater was dripping down onto his left shoulder during the 1st set with a look of WTH is this, (hence he sings "I feel the rain, and I taste the rain")

    Rockin' the headphones after this next cup of coffee and will be smilin' while cutting the yard for the next 2 hours (Birdsong > Comes A Time > Deal anyone?).

    everyone enjoy your weekend!

    Morning rockers! And happy Friday!!

    Right now I'm listening to the Dark Star from September 21 1972. I was completely unaware of this show until its releases as Dicks 36.

    Very solid, even gargantuan show. New and old, rock and roll, jams, cowboy songs, Dark Star, Not Fade Away..........

    Absolutely worth a listen!!!!

    If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.....

    Rock on, enjoy your weekend!!!

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'.

Highly recommended.

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.
