    Bloody ole England

    Wow, the three Wembley shows were all over the place!
    The first on the 30th was tour status quo goodness! Though I still think Paris was top dog, and Mr David picked well with 10/27.
    The 31 starts out awesome, but somewhere in the first set Jers voice suddenly goes rogue, which is a shame because the show is well played otherwise with many highlights, including a fun encore.

    11/1/90 I’d heard/had at least the second but it’s been awhile.
    The Playin Sammy/sequence is awesome! Victum was good, Touch ok, but consistency wise, much of this show was all over the place, including a couple near train wrecks i.e., U.S, Blew…
    Interesting tour. Might as well keep Truckin’ on…12/3/90

    Edit: S-W-B: can you imagine if he had the same PA, Modulus Bass, PIE Amps, Meyers 18’s and 15’s, and rack in 68 as he had when you were there!

    Phil ... Absolutely mashing it !!!
    To think of the folks being plastered back into those lower stone seats as he thundered along on the Eleven & Caution!
    Bless you Phil (and the boys) for all the fun you gave us for all those years. I was lucky enough to be able to experience that exact Greek sensation just once - an indelibly (psychedelically) imprinted version of the Other One at the final GD Greek Theatre show - August 1989.

    Hopefully 10/31 later…

    Yep gay Pair-ee I’d say was the shizzle so far. Both shows rocked and had few flaws, let’s see how jolly old England stacks up?

    EDIT: smooth show, perhaps best playing overall this tour, if perhaps a bit safe/cautious?

    Onto 10/27, and hoping for a DHB with 10/28 as TOO is off to work, woo hoo!
    Dbl Edit: holy crap! Now I’ve played the Boxilla 27th before, but I guess I hadn’t actually “heard” it yet! Yowsa! Good Sheet Mon!

    Ok, onto the 28…

    10/20&22/90
    Both good, thought first show was better. Loved the Bruce Jam in the first, and sweet spacey Dark Star, though perhaps not JGs best version. In fact I’m digging these shows a lot, but Jer occasionally seems? Every now and then he kinda drifts? Hard to describe, just something..is..? Maybe just me?
    Fun if not great Valley Road, nice SOTM, and that Stella might just be the best thing I’ve heard on the tour so far, amazing Stella on the 22!

    Day off and fired this up, since I didn't have the opportunity to listen to it on the anniversary yesterday. BTW keeps pouring in ! ... Awesome set 2, plus love the OO - MLB - Stella filler from the 20th.

    Red Rocks 87 and Videos

    I also enjoyed the shows at Red Rocks 87. Does anyone else recall seeing b&w video monitors on the mixing board all 3 nights? (In addition to the unofficial version already available online). I suspect there is a lot more 87 video too, judging from what was officially released during that era.

    Related note, I like meet up at the movies, and would even enjoy seeing compiled short bits of older video with intros and history from GD folks. Ive been visiting "Wolfgang's Dead" Youtoop channel lately. There is so much more than I ever knew. So, If they release it, I will buy it..

    On Dave's Picks 3 - quite a snappy show. With 10/21 on the 3rd disc, we have "The Other One", "Dark Star" and hot licks a go go on the country/rock n' roll songs.

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.

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!

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

Time to brew up a second cup.

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?

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!

Music is intended and designed for sentient beings that have hopes and purposes and emotions.....

Rock on!

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.
