    DaP 6 - Disc 1- This was one of those early returned reels miracles. That Dark Star was a favorite long before DaP series was a twinkle in Dave's eye. Blew me away when they announced this one. And as an added bonus this release has yet another Dark Star (DS > Stephen > Eleven) 12/20/69 Fillmore Auditorium, San Fran. Oh and it's got 2 Mason's Children. And wait there was even more for subscribers - a bonus disc featuring a big chunk of 12/21/69 Fillmore Auditorium (if you're keeping score that makes 3 Mason's Children. And 2 New Speedways. A couple of Cumberlands. And an Other One. Lots o' Pig.

    Getting ready for a long drive to the snowy north to spend Christmas with some of the family. Might even get in a ski run or three. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

    1st set goodness with a sweet To Lay Me Down and that whacky-doodle '74 style Playing - which I SWEAR has the genesis of Shakedown Street in the middle when Jerry gins up that funky groove/phrase and they all play with it for a bit ... Some technical issues skew the start to the 2nd set (moisture everywhere, Phil says) but I think Seastones 'unbalanced' the speaker/sound setup
    Once they get it figured out though, the Eyes is d*mn strong - and the China Doll that follows is as delicate/pretty as it gets (outside of a missed vocal note or three). All that, and there's still the big Jam with Caution! to go ...
    Have a good afternoon everyone!

    10/21/71 . . .

    Listening again this morning and I'm suddenly thinking about the St. Stephen encore (having a "??" moment) and sure enough, this is the first of only 2 times they played it with Keith pre-hiatus, which also means (for those of you playing along at home) it is the penultimate performance pre-hiatus. The second and last time was 10/31/71 in Columbus (DiP2). Curious how it dropped out of the rotation right at the beginning of Keith's tenure and only making it's way back in June '76.

    now the Penultimate Edit - oh drat, my old deadbase let me down (as in my research wasn't thorough enough.) DB IX was lacking the set list for 10/24/71 Detroit and turns out they played it at that show, again as an encore into JBG. So 10/24 is the actual penultimate pre-hiatus performance. Oh and its got a big ole Dark Star also. I'm sure Doc has talked about this one but new to me.

    Yet another edit: at ~13'15" of the 10/24 Dark Star Phil begins playing a base line that basically is straight out of opening of Eyes of the World?!

    That 2/17/73 HCS > China Cat > Rider is sweet!

From a podcast of Deadshow of the month I recorded about 15 years ago. No break between tracks unfortunately. So if I stop listening after half an hour, I have to go back to the beginning. Anyway, it opens with China-Rider, and is well good.

Everyone enjoy your day, with Peace & Love for All!

I was at that Spectrum show. One thing in particular I remember was peaking during Scarlet>Fire and saying to myself, "whoa, they just played that backwards, note for note". Funny, the things we remember. Finally got a copy of that tape, and, no, they did not. But it was a damn fine show!

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to San Antonio November 12, 1971. Maybe not classic, but a solid, fine show. Lots of the new material on display and an Other One that bobs and weaves through many different spaces. Underrated and rarely spoken of. Always worth a listen.....

When it comes to Texas in 1971, Austin gets the love, TCU gets a hug, San Antonio gets stood up at the prom.

Our memory is and always will be as good as time travel gets, and in the meantime time will do the travelling for us.....

Rock on,

Doc
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.....

...so this must be The Dead in Wonderland, 1984-06-21 Kingswood Music Theatre; taped this FM broadcast and it was always a fun listen, especially Wavy Gravy improv on his two great secrets about the GD lol; solid '84 show with special guests (Levon Helm & Rick Danko from the Band) for the 3 encores :)

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to 2/11/70, not sure why but it sures sounds great!!

My best friend and I were at the 6/21/84 show, we rode up on the motorcycles and had a blast. The three song encore was super sweet. Hey now!

And then we caught the SPAC show on the ride back. Those were the days!!!

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain......

Rock on!

Doc
There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.......

So glad you liked it BC. That's her family's place there, the old golden cruising, extra texture. Heading to Maine, further up the coast near Bay of Funny, Canada tomorrow for the heat wave.

Dear friends

I truly believe that it is impossible to listen to the Grateful Dead while being unhappy. They won't banish unhappiness from your life, but will go a long way towards enhancing the joys that life brings.

Currently listening to "Dear Jerry: A Celebration....", with The Yonder Mountain String Band playing "Shakedown Street". The woman fiddle player's voice adds a great dimension to the song. Well well well....

started with Ball, then went to Heavy then to In-a-gadda-da-vida, then Metamorphosis (my favorite). What a great band, Via con Dios Doug.
Back in the day, every would-be drummer played that drum solo from the in-a-gadda-da-vida lp, it was like a rite of passage.
Personally, the guitar solo in this lp, the "iron butterfly" screeching during that solo is a sound that was coined as "Heavy Metal" before such a thing was thought of.
What a time to be young.

The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living......

In memory of the late Mr Walton, I am listening to 11/20/71. Bill, I salute you and wish you safe travels!!!

And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods?

Because I could not stop for death, he kindly stopped for me, the carriage held but just ourselves and immortality......

"How do you do?"
1976-09-25 at that Cap Center in MD, can't resist that Set 2, and no need to explain, just listen and BTW thank that mr. latvala for diP #20
[inside diP #20 don't forget about that fan letter stating "always felt it to be unfair to force Dead Heads to turn to illegitimate & poor quality bootlegs"
and suggests that the band "put out a line of recordings of your concerts."]
and so to TPTB I say "keep them COMING!"

A little bit quicker and...
we might have time to say "How do you do?"
before we left behind

Peace and Kindness to All!

Hey rockers!!

It's my Friday, paperwork day, working on autopsy reports while listening to the Detroit shows of October 23 and 24 1971. Worth a listen..............

Release of June 1970 Hawaii shows would be awesome!

I saw comments when 1-22-78 vinyl came out that it was a bad pressing.
How was your copy?
I suspect that some are bad but that there are some good ones too.
I didn’t buy it because of the bad reviews.

Cnkd - luckily mines 100% proof. No scratches or any audible interference at all. I have to say also, that whenever I have bought some L.Ps off deadnet, and one of them is less than perfect, it has always been replaced by them with no problem. I'd go for it!
Great show of course. I'm now back into 1978 for a while - Dicks Picks 18, featuring the two shows from 2/78, is a stone cold classic as everyone knows.
