    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.

    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.

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.

Bought my ticket the night before and hit the road next morning on a near 500 mile drive. Fantastic show. So glad I didn't f*** that up! Don't own yet the nugz sbd so np Z-Man _Brian Lee transfer 165840 which is an excellent pull.

busy GOGD day TODAY...gonna have to start today with PHL 1981-05-02, because,
as we all like to say, 43 years ago...my friends and I piled into someone's 1970's or was it a 1960's station wagon for a ride down to the Spectrum...that's right I've got some high-test GD with my morning java...

but, of course...this afternoon's acoustic set will be 1970-05-02 [diP#8] @ SUNY Binghamton

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!

DMCVT - Definitely was watching that sweet old doggle woggle as it came and went during the set. I had skipped over the much of the intro text that detailed Holly's personal history as to Casco Bay - thanks for pointing it out and thanks for recommending the show!

This morning decided to stream another from the Wilderness Sessions - Beartooth Mountains, WY - 10/1/2020

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?

"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

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.
