    Looks like Fall '91 made the GD Buellerton email. It's a good thing we were dropping Phil Bombs instead of F Bombs..

    8/16/69 & 8/16/91

    8/16/69: I’ve heard this one a few times over the years and it seems like each time I have a different thought.
    Today it didn’t resonate so much though that was probably because of the goofy banter etc, while simultaneously getting super annoyed at work? The Dark Star is actually pretty decent, and none of it is as bad as has sometimes been said. Someday I’m going to make a disc of just the music…

    8/16/91: yes I said 16. Figure might as well tap the whole WE run. Hoping to hit 17&18 mañana, unless I get stuck going back to that damn construction site with only ahem, one kinda music and it ain’t GD!
    Didn’t get a great listen in, but it seemed like a solid show. Cool first set DS, interesting second set with a nice Standing on the Moon etc. 91 is fun!

    Another fine 91 Shoreline show. Nice job PT Barnum. How about a 91 Shoreline Box?? That would be fun.
    Sound quality on this one is five dancing bears, so good. Nice start with Help Slip Franklins, Wang Dang Doodle, Queen Jane, end with a great TMNS.
    Second set maintains the flow with a great Man Smart, Women Smarter, Ship of Fools. Nice Smokestack Lighting. He's Gone delivers. Short Dark Star out of Space, great Dew, OMSN and close it out with a It's all over now baby blue! What a show.

    Let's box these Shoreline shows up.

    Will get 8/17/91 rolling tomorrow. 91 has a lot to offer. I think #44 will be 91 or as I was driving home tonight I was thinking, when was the last time we had an 88 show released? RT 4. 2. Might be time.
    Conekid, do yourself a favor and pick yourself up a case soon. As of right now, we have only one store that has it in my neck of the woods. My favorite beer by a long shot. Only down fall, shelf life is 3 months.

    9/17 and other Oakland and Richfield are probably worthy, but then you start getting into more repeats and perhaps too big a box?

    Fall 91 is hot!

    9-10-91 and 9-25-91 have been released, 11-3-91 might have a problem getting released because of guests (there is video of the show if you haven’t seen it), so what to pick?
    So many good ones, probably should just release everything.
    I assume that there are DAT masters in the Vault. Send them to Glasser and let him work on them while Norman focuses on analog tape recordings.

    Deadvikes,
    Was just at the beer store and they had around 25 cases of Bell’s Oktoberfest. Didn’t grab any today but will before it’s gone.
    There were also stacks of Oktoberfest from numerous other breweries.
    And pumpkin beer which sounds gross.
    Has anyone made a bourbon barrel aged pumpkin beer yet?

I completely agree.

On occasion and if I'm not careful volume gets the best of me. One day I might live to regret this. Thankfully, that day was not today.

A new one for me. Some sound weirdness especially in and around banter, but what the hey.

I don't know what it is, but I have soft spot for The Eleven, Born Cross-Eyed and especially New Potatoe Caboose. Good show with some vintage grease to end the night with me feeling a little dirtier than I did when I woke up.

If there's no pick for tomorrow, I suggest the next in line. It's a partial, starts with a rare Clementine. 1/20/68 Euraka Municipal Auditorium. I think we should set up a go fund me to find all the missing reels, there's a couple missing from this show. It would be something for them to be found.

Hey Jim, I know you have had a lot on you plate this year. Thanks for checking this one out. Yes, the recording is decent, not great. Like a lot of 88 recordings out there. Still think they have some good ones in the Vault.

I liked the show, anytime I see a Hey Pocky Way, I am in. Nice Shakedown to open the second set. Love the triple Encore with China Rider OMSN.

It is good to get out of the comfort zone once in a while Doc.

Carousel Ballroom 68, okay Jim, Ok will have to que it up this morning.

Enjoy the weekend out there.

Edit. Oh and after the carousel ballroom I will be moving on the 12/9/79, Dave's Picks #47. Love this one and I need some 79. If I had the keys, I would be putting out a big 79 Box.

44 years ago today, there when Roy Buchanan along with Levon and His All Stars opened for the Dead. My last in person show, on the bus since their first album, however things had changed so much.... Doc was there, a wild late summer scene, part of my farewell to Maine.

Hey rockers!!

Yes, we were there and had a blast. Beautiful day and tremendous music. A very fine show by the Dead, one of my all-timefavorite in-person Dead experiences.

Would make a solide offical release. It is worthy......

I'm in - hopefully sometime this weekend I can transport my mind and spirit into late summer beautiful day/evening Maine. Sounds like a dream show and setting. Very cool that a couple of you guys got to be there. Didn't realize this was the last show before the Warfield run. Long and heartfelt write up on grateful seconds (he was there). Comment at the end from a guy who was 8 at the time and lived a "bike trail" away from the fairgrounds. Listened to part of the show from his clubhouse. Rode his bike over and snuck in. Totally dug the Drums. Made major bank (for a kid) collecting cans and bottles for deposit afterwards (which is exactly what 8 yr old me would have done.) Think I might travel John Deere with the Jim Wise FOB.

But back this week. I can do Lewiston again.

As I recall there is not a good soundboard that circulates, right? And the one that does is first set only and it sure does sound like an audience (or ultramatrix on steroids at least).

High energy though.. like Gainesville, there must have been something in the water.

You have to wonder if this was recorded and if so where the hell are the master tapes? I think someone (Parrish??) tossed out the language that some of the master reels were left on the seat and when the truck pulled away they must have flown out the window or something.

I'd love to see more reels (and cassettes) returned.

Anyway, Lewiston Me for me tomorrow.

Edit: Started tonight - why not? Gave up on the "soundboard" and settled on the Jim Wise same as Bluecrow. Good news, Bluecrow.. The John Deere Broke down and was sitting in the yard for the last half of the week. I got it working today. Had to replace the solenoid. Damned electronics are always interfering with time travel. Just imagine if this broke back in time before Jebediah Solenoid created the first working model for riding mowers.. we would have been screwed.. I mean, nothing wrong with being stuck in 1980 but why not go back another 10 to 15 years...

High energy is right. Pretty good audience.

While I was in the neighborhood, I took a quickie with 11/28/80 Lakeland Civic Center - Lakeland, FL (30 Trips).

I figured why not.. most enjoyable, especially To Lay Me Down. Not sure why I like that song so much, but I do.

Ah, yes, more 1980. You don't have to twist my arm. A shorter show for the time period, but still really good. Will get it going after I finish up Dicks #36, which was mentioned on some other threads. Such a great show, but apparently didn't sell well at the time. No idea why.

Random Musing - 1980

My favorite non-multi-track 1980 release has got to be Dave's # 8, 11/30/80 Fox Theater. Love how that Matrix worked out. If anyone remembers the seaside chat, he was spot on.

Crowd noise was not as big an issue in 1980 as they could play in some pretty intimate venues. Also, as the age of the cassette master replaced the lovely Ms. Cantor Jackson, a lot of those early soundboards are a bit sterile sounding without the crystalline highs and the booming lows. Blending those early 80's soundboards with one of those near perfect audience masters works. When they aged out of the smaller, cooler venues (thinking after Jerry's coma and In The Dark) audience tapes had to compete with hundreds of the guy next to you screaming "JERRY!!" at 95 decibels, this was no longer possible.

That SBD/Dr. Bob matrix is almost exactly perfect (or as good we are going to get for the time).

On the opposite side of the same coin, I think some of the Ultra Matrix's have a bit too much of the guy yelling JERRY! then I sometimes want to hear. Thinking a lot of 87 suffers from this, and by then the audience tapes were no better.

Anyway, if Mr. Norman can pull of similar wizardry I wish they would do more like DaP#8.
