    Morning rockers!!!

    Right now: March 14, 1971. Because why not...........

    Based on my limited knowledge of 1971 Dead shows, it seems that there's something rare & unusual about this show. What could it be?????

    PM me your answers, first correct reply gets ten shows of their choice. No charge, no muss, no fuss, no customer service issues................

    I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine.....

    On morning commute-2/11/69 early show. Now sitting at desk, another paperwork day, 2/11/69 late show. These short sharp sets surely satisfy. Try saying that five times fast.......

    Or, conversely, you could merely listen, and enjoy some good old Grateful Dead!

    Memorial Day weekend '92

    I was there for that Shoreline run. Saturday 5/23 remains my fav by far. This owes both to the impeccable song selection (well otoh OMSN... but it *was* Saturday) and the excellent blotter. We were up on the lawn but right on the rail, too. Afterwards we went into the Safeway down the street from the venue and it was just awash in happy heads. The post-show energy was incredible that night. But then... well, 5/24 had that Shakedown opener, one of the best I can remember from the Vince era, but after that it felt like a peaks n valleys kinda show. I remember getting in a headspace during 2nd set where I was thinking, basically, "where has energy from 1991 gone?" but then Mickey and Billy brought me back up. And the Morning Dew closer was glorious. However 5/25 was mostly forgettable, although I'm a sucker for Phil singing Tom Thumb's. I do remember that while Garcia seemed listless at this show, he came alive during NSB. And tbf the crowd loved Baba O'Riley->TNK. We'd all heard that it had debuted at Expo the week prior (I guess there's a one-off performance from early 1970 but few if any of us knew that, so we genuinely believed it was brand new) and hearing it on Memorial Day infused things with energy for while.

    '92 was just like that for me: peaks and valleys. It was hard to get a handle on it at the time. In retrospect it's more obvious but in the first half of '92 I simply didn't realize how spoiled we'd been by the past 3 years. Sure, the loss of Brent was massive and it really hurt, but it felt like they came back as strong as they could, and '91 with Hornsby (even without him at times) was a really fun time. Come '92, I saw JGB at the Kaiser in February and again at that one-off show in San Jose in late April, and those were fun shows so it kind of made me think everything was fine, but then when I'd go see GD shows there was this lingering vibe that something was off. Anyway, I hope y'all will forgive me if I'm getting too negative. There are still a lot of great moments in 1992. Fast-forward to the Halloween return at Oakland... that moment that Garcia said, "how y'all doin?" and flashed that grin and then looked over at his bandmates made it feel like everything was alright in the world once again. We sure could use more moments like that today!

    Listening to 5/31/92 II now. One of those great Vegas Spaces...

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.

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

...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!

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. For more chuckles, check out her OMG video from Philly where she plays a small piano bar and does her version of Tweezer, Mike Gordon shows up totally out of the blue (crow). Hey Now!

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

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.
