I can hear Garcia saying to Weir thru the thick cloud of hash smoke,
"Hey Weir, we don't have our guitars" and Weir says, "No worries Jer, we'll just rent some" lol

everyone enjoy your weekend, if you can

Peace for All!

6/23/74 I believe
PROPER!

Let's Get Together (just played) and now the jaybirds calling on Like a River

Fell in love with Kate's voice and music back in late '80s. Great to have this live set as part of a SEVA benefit concert that includes other favorite musicians of mine (thank you Bear).

8/10/91 - a five-star-give-it-ten-if-i-could favorite from the tape days back in the mid 90s. Awesome that it got released in that box - beautiful sound and show. Shout out to Proudfoot for mentioning that box and steering me here.

Last night.
I’ve heard it before but not sit down listen.
Though didn’t get the best listen last night due to aaaa, “extra curricular” activities/noise in the world.
But it’s an interesting show that you just kind want for it to get released, especially because ya know…AND, it’s Pinkus first show, etc
But I’m not sure it’s good enough, orrrr, tight enough for a Dave’s.
Specifically, the beginning of the second set. Yeah it’s fun sneaking TOG in between S/F but the transitions are a bit sloppy etc, enough, along with other sorta normal what I call Cali laid back looseness lol to perhaps keep it getting “Daved”
As we know, he likes to try and pick the best representation or presentation of the band/music on a specific tour etc, and not necessarily what some might consider “the best show” of the tour.
BUT!
After this Reno show getting out, and as Jim often suggests, sometimes these kind of shows work well to round out box sets, so I could see it as part of a Greek box! Curious what others think of this show?
Think I need a redo, and gonna hit the rest of the 84 summer Cali shows asap.
Onward!

Don’t lend yer hand, to raise no flag, atop no ship of fools!

Sing Out is a great Owsley release, but all the Owsley releases are worth picking up. I was at Sing Out it was a cool show. Kate Wolf was a favorite of mine, I used to go see her play all the time here in the Bay Area.

JGB

Bay Area 78

Good stuff

5 22 81

Acoustic benefit show

interesting

Were you there, BTK?

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (a favorite from way back in the formative years)

and now - David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk

BTK - very cool that you got to see Kate sing time and again including the Sing Out! Seva Benefit. I was introduced to her music right around the time she died (I was Midwesterner then). Guessing a dubbed cassette copy from a friend of the double LP Give Yourself To Love. I in turn shared her music with many others. Such a remarkable, beautiful voice. Streamed the video for her performance of Green Eyes from the Austin City Limits show (don't own that yet) and my goodness how amazing it is. (Edit - originally wrote that it was a performance of Give Yourself To Love when it was in fact Green Eyes.)

Further follow up - 8/10/91 JGB Electric on the Eel right up there with Warner Theatre 3/18/78 (Set II specifically) as an absolute favorite Jerry Band release. So good!!

JGB

Don't Let Go release
May '76

Very pleasant

"Many Thanks, and God Bless You All" from Phil before JB Goode,
of the 3 nights, I always for some reason return to the 15th, it might be the heavy Phil & Brent mix that clinches it for me...fun stuff; even a couple of nice Garcia teases during space...

7/19/74 Fresno

Again. :)

I like that JGB 5/21/76, that one is nice I thought.

Grateful Dead Manor Downs, Austin, TX 9/13/83 Complete Show

Fun too watch Jerry dancing on Fire On The Mt

2/22/80

I'll have mine "on the rocks" please.
Doing a tape of the mid-90s bootleg CD.
Got to run the tape deck now and again to keep everything running smoothly. It keeps the belts and the grease on the mechanism from getting stiff.
Cheers

...is real, and JGB is good, but...
5/21/76 orpheum is REAL GOOD!

Spinning now!

Nice

Great couple of discs in the new edition. Full of rustic charm. Who plays on what isn't too clear, but it all rolls along very nicely.

Not right now, but on my commute you all know----and expect---that I will be cranking Scranton this morning...........

Rock on rockers!

Doc
Woof

Soaring through Birdsong!

Emotional and eerie

I know 3/18/71 St. Louis was included in 30 Trips, but I didn't buy that box. However, in preparation for Dave's Vol 51 I figured I ought to give it a listen. To date I have only ever heard the tail end of the show, the NFA->GDTRFB->Caution etc. So I've just had a listen to the opener (Casey Jones) and am about to get into it properly, but decided I need a sangwich and some water first. Figured I'd make this short post first.

Side note: only Caution of 1971! It would be a full year until it was again played live - at the Academy of Music in March '72. After only 5 documented performances of Caution in 1970, that must have been exciting as heck for the crowd in St. Louis to hear them launch into it.

Finito bonito!

Onto 7/22/84…

Going for the DHB today!
Can I make before TOO gets home 🤞

Spinning now.

And a cup of super dark roast Columbian Supremo.
Roasted the beans myself.

Summer ‘85 Box next year please Dave.

Never done the whole show….until now ; )
PITB, holy crap!, and an excellent Phil/Ned, and, Good Sheet!

Re: 7/13/85, awesome first set! You’ll need that D roast!

I’m streaming ‘Ask Me No Questions’ by Bridget St John at the moment. I own it on vinyl and cd but streaming was the easiest way to find it. This is a wonderful album and she deserves to be far better known. It originally came out on John Peel’s Dandelion label a very long time ago.

Sage & Spirit has a Lost Sailor riff.

The High Time on this one always hits me in the feels.

Re: “ hits me in the feels”
Proper!

wow, had a memory flash when I saw Columbian Supremo, reminded me of back in the 70's. That's what the guy called it, supremo. :)

I think I played some of this last night - the first cd of Dicks Picks 31. If so - I agree - the first track, Playing, doesn't just open the doors of perception, it blows them off the hinges.
It's a bit of of a hotch potch, though, Dicks Picks 31. 4 great cds, but it would have helped if they had said which show the songs came from. I should make my own notes really - every time I play it, I end up sitting here squinting at Deadbase, trying to work out what's what.

The first taste of live Phish, excellent concert, seats down front right above the pit, direct sight lines, in front of Mike and Jon. Quite the venue, spin around to see 20,000 above us. With an old friend who has been to many Dead shows, we had fun checking out the scene. Loud and clean, Trey's voice lessons paid off, sang well. My 72nd birthday. Next up, John Jorgenson's J2B2 bluegrass band, then JRAD on Jerry's birthday. Looking forward to April, 71 #51, thanks Dave, love those fully packed discs.

Madison Square Garden

Excellent Looks Like Rain.

Peace

First time for complete show

Edit: interesting show.
Perhaps a tad uneven, plenty of moments.
Another cool 74 Playin though perhaps not quite in step with some previous?
Guessing this run gets even better as they settle in etc…?
Let’s find out…

Right now? Boston Music Hall April 8 1971..............

Couldn't help myself................

Rock on,

Doc
In the worst of times, music is a promise that times are meant to be better.....

Onward!

Released as "England's Newest Hitmakers" in the States - with a few changed tracks. 60 years old, and the best of their pre freak beat/psych albums. Maybe the best of all their albums outside the classic 1968-1973 years.

152954.gems

Sounds pretty good.

Morning, rockers!!!

Listening to right now? Why of course it's Bucknell, just because. This is one that truly requires no explanation. Unless it does, of course.............

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with, I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic......

Rock on my fellow rockers!!

Doc
Man can be understood only by ascending from physics, chemistry, biology, and geology, in other words, he is first of all a cosmic problem......

...in good spirits until I saw a post on the 51 thread...

THE BEST LOOKS LIKE RAIN.

So far kinda....ok.

Brent gone almost 34 years now

What a loss. The band must have been shocked. Or maybe not.

Stay away from that shyte, kids.

Glad I knew my limits and knew not to stick my hand into the path of the table saw.

Easy to love you

I'll check that one out Dennis. Thanks for the tip!
