    Just kicking off Dave's 24, 8/25/72

    Last night of a legendary four-night stand at the BCT, and it's the show before Veneta... the setlist doesn't jump off the page at you, but 8/21 and 8/24 more than sufficed to scratch that itch, and besides you know this one's going to be lovely from the very opening notes. Entire band just playing well and having fun.

    Man I should go for 8/23/68 myself...

    It looks like TN is just ripping right through a who's who of official releases. It would be too dangerous to stop now....

    Daves 2 - 7/31/74 vinyl

    A real epic. With these vinyl box sets I like to just play 2 sides at a time, so it takes a day or so to listen to the whole show. The L.P. version features a run through Seastones, and the next track they play is El Paso. I can't think of any other band that would play two pieces of music so different from each other one after the other in concert.

    It would have been interesting if they had incorporated Seastones type music within some of their jams. It always seems to sit outside the shows in which it was played. A first set. Then an electronic blizzard. Then normal service is resumed when the second set starts. It would have been very interesting if they had included some of these sounds in Dark Star, for example.
    The closest they got to it may have been Unbroken Chain on Mars Hotel.

TN John - very cool! (a bc bday show not that I was there.) my FOTDs box set is crossing the Great Basin right now (i think) based on tracking. Hopefully by Tuesday next week.

6/14/94 - iwt and got here listening today via a circuitous route of JOTM (from 3/11/93 Rosemont) drive home last night which has a late period Masterpiece and this morning (gestures wildly) somehow saw the set list here and thinking "wow" I saw a Masterpiece in 94. And from there Set I etc. Very unusual set list Set II and a really fun and fine well played show. Posting now because Set II leads off with 45 second structured drumz intro to Victim and it caught my ears as something I had "never" heard (despite being there!) Victim into Lazy River Road. And then the second Samba In The Rain, which I will unabashedly say sounded great that night, totally new to me, and strong cool memory of Phil/Bob/Jerry/Vince singing the chorus and it rocked. Samba > Trucking > and a super chill That Would Be Something into drumz. Those late era shows in Seattle Memorial Coliseum kicked it.

At the risk of joining said society, I like the points you made, Daverock. I'm thinking of some live Quicksilver I had on cassette - absolutely ferocious playing, but the recording was not up to modern standards. Eminently listenable, though, and it broadened my mind to what that group was capable of. Or that Pink Floyd stuff from early '72, some early Doors stuff... that early '67 Thirteenth Floor Elevators concert (I think it later got released properly)...

So those Sept 1970 Fillmore recordings, what exists of them, should absolutely be made available to the public after Dr. Norman takes his best shot. "What's to lose / We're NOT confused/ You can call this set / The Fillmore East blues."

Live At The Roxy (Hollywood - 5/26/76)

Been thinking for a long while that I need to upgrade my system in certain key points. Slowly making my way to that move. Thanks for sharing ConeKid.

The model I got is over 50% off because it has been replaced with a newer model.
12-inch sub is spectacular.
I highly recommend it as does Vguy.
Grab one while you can.

The speakers were also on sale. They are really nice. I would also recommend them, and they’re still on sale.

Nice at the time

Will listen again someday

I was so glad they were in Seattle (first time since 1983)...Tacoma 88 kinda counts....

The bonus disc that came out with After Midnight - JGB at Kean College 2/28/80.

Kick ass little disc, 4 songs from next night 2/29 (a leap year!) and 1 from 3/1. I got to thinking how "freaking good" this sounded compared to, say, some 1980 GD sbds and on an old Steve Hoffman forum thread heralding and dedicated to the After Midnight release it mentions that Kean is from 24 track tapes(!!) and I'm like what the heck is going on that a JGB show at Kean is being recorded with a 24 track rig?? And yes I'm very thankful that it was so beautifully recorded. The After Midnight > Eleanor Rigby > After MIdnight from Kean enters a musical space that is crazy beautiful and otherworldly and that pretty much has me with tears in my eyes every time.
