    MRI / Marye's red button of power / Zakir / LA '94

    I hope the MRI results come back as you could wish, Proudfoot.

    I *wondered* what happened to the Dave's 52 thread. If not for Oro's comment I might have gone on thinking that I needed more coffee. Thanks Oro. Seconding Icecreamcnkd's comment - at this point we could just move to the DaP53 thread if that could be unlocked/if that's less work. All the same to me.

    As to what I am listening to - well, it's about to be Zakir Hussain. It *was* going to be Grateful Dead from Los Angeles in December 1994. Mainly because it's been 30 years to the date. Well... that is, I saw the middle shows of the four nights - the 16th and the 18th - the 17th (today) was the off night. After the lackluster Shoreline run back in September I didn't know what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. But for my friends and I those shows were also "one long party from front to end" and I don't trust my memory, so I thought I should give it a listen. I've not done so in all the intervening years. Hadn't decided on which night. But there's a part of me that knows I'm likely to be disappointed... to have a nagging feeling that I could be listening to December '73 instead of '94... heck, or December '78... even Long Beach December '88.

    So Zakir it shall be. Interestingly, on the morning of his death, I put on a morning raga that had been unknown to me, and the piece went on for a great long while (15-20 mins?) before there was anything from the tabla. It made me listen more deeply and it made me think about percussion, and what the absence of it meant...

    Caravan, DiP 33, Proudfoot

    Cheers, Ian: I saw them listed among the all time top 'prog +/-' albums when I went down Kate's Gnirdolog (sp?) rabbit hole a couple of weeks back. Based on your and Dennis's reviews, this is now on my radar for a "self-care" Christmas gift.

    Loading 10/10/76 for off hours later today ... I'm hoping DaP 53, when it arrives in 3-4 weeks, will have some of the same 'x-factor'. How about today for the 54 + bonus disc announcement?? As this has stretched out, I'm beginning to channel Waiting for GOGD (Godot) here!

    Proudfoot: Sending kind thoughts for good results.

    Had an MRI this morning

    Got to choose headphone music

    GD was the option I went with

    Sirius radio

    Good Lovin' from 78 I think

    Estimated Eyes from 9 2 83

    Very surreal experience

    I felt like Major Tom

    Now awaiting the results...

    Never heard of them and didn't have any.

    Thanks to the magic of you tube, I was able to download 3 of their albums, including Grey & Pink.

    I like what I've heard so far, thanks for the heads up.

    Pointers to new stuff is one of the great things about the forum. (everyone knows Deadheads have great taste in music!)

    That was a FUN listen! Like hearing it new with big ears.

    Must admit I'd like to experience the Klipsch subwoofer full body Phil - one thing the headphones can't deliver. That upgrade is probably down the way a bit. I think Phil's position in the mix shifted from left Set I to center Set II, and he was higher in the mix, but I wouldn't call it Phil heavy at least as experienced on cd. The segue out of a gorgeous Stella back into Playing was wildly beautiful.

    BC motivated me to finish the DHB Friday with 12/10/89 from the sweet LA run.
    Fun show to finish a really enjoyable run!

    So picked up today with these two from Oakland.
    Not sure what to think about the 27?
    Certainly good overall but sometimes weird anomalies or…?
    Interesting Tom Thumbs, I’ll have to decipher Phil’s alt lyrics…
    Dave has this on his “possibilities” list (that doesn’t exist ; )
    It’s a good show, but compared to the plethora of excellent shows from this period it feels like it’d be a right street, wrong house deal?
    The first seems to take a bit to really gel, another kinda creeper?
    Second set doesn’t mess around and the Playing through Wheel sequence is superb. The Dew is ok but? Kinda funky, think JG was having some tech difficulties. The 28 starts out strong and and keeps rolling with a good solid but perhaps not RJ second? Need to see video to figure out what’s up with the long intro to Little Light?
    Definitely need to rehit these and LA sometime, but just don’t have it now and trying to finish my year out…

    MARYE: how many times we gotta tell ya not to hit the big red button! JK ; )
    No worries!
    Onward!

    The Sun Ra Arkestra are still going - led by the 101 year old Marshall Allen. If you get a chance to see them I really recommend it - going off what they were like about 5-6 years ago. The first time I saw them must have been over 20 years ago, supporting the MC5. At the end of the MC5's set both bands came on and played together. And man, they were loud !

Steve Kuhn's 1986 gig at The Village Vanguard, with Ron Carter bass, Al Foster drums, "Life's Magic". Kuhn, now in his mid 80s has recently stopped touring. He's a little under the radar when the big name piano jazz comes up, a fine session here.

Morning rockers!!

Paperwork day, no autopsies, too much coffee.........

Well, not exactly today, but over the weekend listened to the entire Family Dog run of February/March 1970. Fun shows, great stuff!!

Re box set rumors, while digging into the dark dusty corners of my own archive I was reminded that recordings of the June 12 & 13 1970 Hawaii shows are in the vault and are very decent quality...............

When there are dogs and music, people have a good time........

I agree that this was a great and most welcome choice throughout 1974. Some great jams were resolved by going into this song - flying from outer space and landing smoothly on Planet E.

Has there ever been a time where they played shows from a soon to be released box set on Sirius/XM prior to the announcement of a box set? Just curious as I don't have Sirius/XM.

Would love to see those 80 Alaska shows come out or other 80 shows.

It's the bane of my life ( slight exaggeration) that Dicks Picks with segments of this and two other 1974 shows. I have never made notes about which song comes from which show, so I always have to get Deadbase down to try and figure it out. Either that or just forget about it and play the cds as they are.

The collector in me wants everything organized by show date.
I even have the Ummagumma live album in its own folder with the date.
I don’t do it to all non-GD bands. A lot of live albums are sourced from an entire tour so I leave them that way.

Love that this an official release. I was there. This was sort of a prelude to me following the GOGD for the next six years or so to the best of my ability. Good folks at local radio station WLIR. I still say the Calderone was a crappy venue, but they had great shows!

Playing the brand spanking new reissue of Feats Don't Fail Me Now. It's a 3 CD set, with the original album remastered, a disc of outtakes, and a live set. Always liked the original LP, and grateful to have two 'new' discs of Lowell.

A fun, beautiful show on a gorgeous summer Saturday afternoon in the PNW. My youngest brother in town for an extended visit that ran through Eugene and beyond - seeing shows, backpacking the Olympics and Cascades, camping at Tahkenitch. Jerry's first public performance with Lightning Bolt - not that we knew that - all we "knew" was it all sounded fantastic. This show was just exactly perfect and would make a mighty fine official release.

...the Summer theme continues even though I just listened a couple of weeks back, 1991-06-24 SANDSTONE Amphitheatre...are you listening, it's SUMMER 1991! just a couple of days removed from Soldier field (anyone remember inside the stadium on the concourse, there were banners hanging with notable CHI football players, I stop and look up, and no shit it's Charley Trippi (a running back with the early Chicago Cardinals) oh man this is gonna be a fun few days!
We get to Kansas City on the 23rd (cheap flight from O'hare), rent a car, and go to tour this little unknown at the time craft brewery, Boulevard Brewing, and guess who is working the bottling line, yup nametag on his work shirt verifies that it's Trip! I kid you not. About 13-14 years later, I learn from a former manager that Trip was one of the 1st 5 employees @ Boulevard. what's next when we get out to Sandstone...?
1st set tuning we even get a slight hint of supplication, but little did we realize...

Their first show at Red Rocks. And a killer show as we all know. In the July '78 Box (which I have and love). On Archive prefer the OctopusRider matrix (which I'm listening to now). There are killer audience tapes of this show - early on I had one into Fire transition and it became an integral part of my GD being. The first set is nonpareil. The Cold Rain Set II opener is the GOAT.

Hey rockers!!!

Right now I'm listening to the Hollywood Palladium show of September 9, 1972. It's a little outside of my serious comfort zone, but a very fine show and definitely worth a listen.

This was officially released a little over a year ago, and seems to have been quickly forgotten. There's actually quite a few really good later 72 official releases, worthy of relistens every so often...........

I know, you're shocked, Doc raving about post-E72 shows. No I didn't fall down and hit my head. But last night I did fall outta bed while dreaming of a February/April Fillmore West 1970 box set.............

My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.....

Keep it rockin'!

The Police - February 1979 - today it's known as University of Hertfordshire but back then it was still Hatfield Poly. Great show, there's video as well (believe BBC? Whatever, it's good stuff)
