The Dead played Black-Throated Wind frequently 1972-1974 before dropping it for for 16 years, when it returned in March 1990 and would stick around until 1995.

    Lo res files

    Very lo-res files, are you going to fix these or is this it for the month? This has happened in other years but after a day or two the lo-res ones were replaced with better files.

    Nostalgic for BTW

    I'm nostalgic for BTW, as I'm reminded of hitch-hiking from Red Rocks back to Golden Gate Canyon Campground high in the Rockies, getting a ride into the mountains from a BTW trucker at the junction of Rte 93 and Rte 70. My tour clan was confused as to which vehicle I was going to ride back to camp, and I got left behind. I was wearing bright yellow overalls and a Hog Farm Tie-Dye, long hair and beard, and I was told that I was lucky, hitch-hiking so late in the night post-show, as wolves were recently spotted in the area. And how can I not be reminded of BTW every time I drive through St. Louis crossing the country, which I have done 19 times coast to coast. A most memorable road trip was during a significant snow storm. I pulled into a truck stop to take a break from the difficult conditions, and it was as if I walked into a morgue. Truckers sitting at the counter on their round red naugahyde stools, hands on a cup of coffee, shoulders rounded, staring into nothingness. Apparently a trucker had died that morning in a snow-related accident on I-70. BTW indeed.
    Hint: Today's show answer encore was only played twice as an encore according to DeadBase 50, assuming of course I got the correct answer.

    Side Note

    If you haven’t already done so, Barlow’s “Mother American Night” is a really good read.

I received an e-mail from Rhino on 12/4 last year indicating I was the "grand prize" winner (and asking for my address "so we can ship out your copy of HERE COMES SUNSHINE"). Address sent, but nothing ever received. No biggie as I'm really here for the challenge and enjoyment. C’est la vie. Cheers and best of luck to all.

Yowza! I’m mostly chill/easygoing but I’d be one squeaky wheel if that happened to me. Especially last year when I waited too long and couldn’t get the HCS box before it sold out.

Not one of my favorite songs, but I really like this version--and Phil sounds great on it, RIP.
I admit I was off substantially at first but once I got there it synched up nicely and sounded great. Good fun search and I discovered a couple new shows I need to check out more thoroughly. Love November!!

Yeah, I'd noticed it as a repeat from 2016 and 2021. But usually no one would reveal it because it would give it away, or give too much of a hint.

First, a monster Dark Star, and then they updated the previous files to .wav. I don't recall ever getting .wav files since this started in 2010. Happy Monday!

Why isn't the start page working properly. How hard can it be to link this page to the one on the start page?
