    Another smash offering from DL and company. I didn't know of this show until it was released, and it knocked me off my feet!!!

    I remeber sitting my buddy down and saying, "get ready dude!" I played him China Cat through the encore....when it was done, he looked at me, and simply said, "fuck man"

    Fun times, only possible with GD, and some good smoke, preferably

    rock on, gang

    Obeah's tale, anniversary date, and fact that close (lived across the street) high school friend from Chi-town area was at this show has me listening to Hunter Seamon's matrix (on the road now so my copy of DaP 20 not available.) Back around Christmas '81 mailed some tapes to Chris. He replied with tapes and a letter that included him being at the Boulder show - spoiler - it was freaking great. Side note - youngest brother and some friends and I saw the Rosemont show 3 nights earlier. That show had some cool moments - like a Set II To Lay Me Down and a Pearl Harbor Space - but it also marked the end of the Uptown Theatre era in Chicago and I think Boulder (plus Indy) smoked it. My personal feeling was that acoustics in the Rosemont sucked and what we lost was the mighty Uptown Theatre. That same high school friend wrote that he had heard rumors that a final run at the Uptown had been planned but fell through and that the Dead even considered buying the Uptown (latter seems a bit out there but ??). As it turned out the final Uptown concert ever was a Jerry Band show 11/17/81 ~3 weeks before the Rosemont show. That was my first of four Jerry shows, with youngest brother and Bill and Laura - we were in the balcony, it was crazy fun. So back to the point - listening to Boulder - np a ripping China - Rider to end Set I.

    edit - i was mistaken that the 11/17/81 JGB show was the last concert in the Uptown. Zappa played 10 days later, there was also Rolling Stones simulcast from the Rosemont (of all places) in that span. J Geils Band w/ Southside Johnny and Asbury Jukes last show there{?} 12/19/81. A burst frozen water pipe in December '81 took the Uptown off line (so to speak). So my memory of the last days of the Uptown skewed by half baked memory and maybe rumor - but yeah it seems that for some reason the GD couldn't make it work/chose not to and that JGB show was sorta/maybe Jerry's farewell to what was a favorite venue for a few years.

    The Strange Odyssey of 12/9/81

    BITD, the days of USENet, I looked over my list of tapes and realized I was really hurting on '80-'81-'82. I had started trading with some guy in Canada, and I saw on his list that he had a bunch of early 80s boards. So I asked him to select some of the very best. I remember one was the '82 "Raven Space" show; the second escapes me entirely now; and the third was 12/9/81 Boulder, CO.

    Back then, tracking info wasn't what it was today, and in this case it was taking even longer since it wasn't a domestic mailpiece. I kept waiting for the tapes to arrive, but to no avail. Finally one morning a couple of neighborhood kids came to my porch as I was standing there looking at the day's mail delivery, a delivery that once again contained no packages. The kids said something like, "are you looking for your cassettes?" and with a sinking feeling I asked them how they could know that. Well, it came out that their sometime friend, a boy maybe 10-11 years old, had porch-pirated me and had stolen my package!

    So I walked down to his house, one of the first McMansions on our block, and knocked on the door. His parents were sympathetic, and the kid was made to confess and apologize, but for some of the tapes it was too late - he'd found the music uninspiring, apparently, and had set about destroying the tapes by unspooling them and throwing them around. One was actually visible hanging from a nearby utility line.

    The now-unremembered show was one of the casualties. So was tape II of the Raven Space show. I seem to recall that tape I survived with only minor damage (I was able to re-spool it). However, both sets of 12/9/81 were untouched. And what a show!

    There are some good shows from this date - the Fox in '71; Kiel 8 years later; the LA Forum in '89. But this is my go-to show on December 9th. Thanks, Dave, for releasing this one! (And thanks to those kids for ratting out their 'friend')

    Nothing like a proper matrix!

    Then fresh meat, 12/6/80!

    And another new for me: 12/12/80, Sshwinngg!

    J918 - I hear ya - passions run high re Fall '79 - lots of fine shows to choose from. This week's Tapers Section has Set II opener from Indy 12/7/79 (show between Uptown run and St. Louis). Phil dialed up, could use a little more Jerry(?). Very nice slice regardless.

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)
