    Keeping with the French Theme ...

    5.13.1972 - Lille
    It warmed up a bit, and the skies cleared - offering a bit of inspiration, visually. So France was the place to stay.
    The sound, especially once they get it all sorted (w/funny banter at the beginning) is great - Jerry rings out all over the place, Keith is very well represented/recorded here, and Billy's drums are super clear. I Really like the BTW and Loser + China-Rider, the Playing and the lovely Other One excursion into He's Gone - as opposed to the reverse order that frequently goes down ...
    It's fairly well a stunner of a show, as Phil identified fondly in his book. His playing throughout indicates he was 'feelin' it'. So, even if it might be a bit shorter and therefore deemed one of the 'lesser' E'72 shows, it's still way up there for me.

    Sidenote: Aarhus, Denmark is similar - not in tone though, as it has a much warmer (indoor, all wood) ambience - in the manner of being both exploratory and chock full of excellent versions/songs - it's another great listen.
    Cheers!

    I saw him play at the tiny Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, maybe 100 people there. He was incredible! It was in December and he played Silent Night. Fun Times!

    We've had his Xmas Vol.2 on vinyl since BITD. Our favorite "non-traditional" Xmas album. I've stopped collecting the old hardware store, tire store, and the every big star on on their label type of Xmas records now that I've got about 20 or so. Some real gems in there and always available in the used pile for peanuts. Most have very little wear as they were only played one week a year. All the best to everyone here for happy holidays.
    Cheers
    Edit: Checkers came to eat but is hesitant to come in yet so we are developing trust again. Must have gone back to his feral roots. We'll get him back though I'm sure. Thanks again for the support.

    DaP 6 - Disc 1- This was one of those early returned reels miracles. That Dark Star was a favorite long before DaP series was a twinkle in Dave's eye. Blew me away when they announced this one. And as an added bonus this release has yet another Dark Star (DS > Stephen > Eleven) 12/20/69 Fillmore Auditorium, San Fran. Oh and it's got 2 Mason's Children. And wait there was even more for subscribers - a bonus disc featuring a big chunk of 12/21/69 Fillmore Auditorium (if you're keeping score that makes 3 Mason's Children. And 2 New Speedways. A couple of Cumberlands. And an Other One. Lots o' Pig.

    Getting ready for a long drive to the snowy north to spend Christmas with some of the family. Might even get in a ski run or three. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

    1st set goodness with a sweet To Lay Me Down and that whacky-doodle '74 style Playing - which I SWEAR has the genesis of Shakedown Street in the middle when Jerry gins up that funky groove/phrase and they all play with it for a bit ... Some technical issues skew the start to the 2nd set (moisture everywhere, Phil says) but I think Seastones 'unbalanced' the speaker/sound setup
    Once they get it figured out though, the Eyes is d*mn strong - and the China Doll that follows is as delicate/pretty as it gets (outside of a missed vocal note or three). All that, and there's still the big Jam with Caution! to go ...
    Have a good afternoon everyone!

    A freak after my own heart! I only have a mere bakers dozen to finish off my quota: The seven final 79s, the last 3 84s, and first three 85s.
    Then maybe a little free range freakin, perhaps start poking around 1970,
    But…then onto all/most of 85, few remaining summer 90, dip my toe into 95, perhaps a pinch of Fall 80, with more 1970 sprinkled about?
    But first things first, nice Dancin happening here/now on 12/10.

    DaP 1: just got a copy thanks to one of our favorite folks here ; ) and so have only heard it once, but it did get my attention lol

    2/17/73…first 5 or 6 shows of 73 = best 73 box eevveerr, and depending which way your pleasure tends one might argue GOAT? Ok, maybe that’s pushing it but ! Good Sheet Mon

That's a great album alright. The other Dead I played over the last day or so was the first show from the Winterland 1973 box - 11/9/73. A great show - every musician on top form and working together. And the next 2 shows in the box are even better.

Cnkd - I'd buy that box in a shot. It would be great if they did reissue it in that way. If they are reissuing boxes on vinyl, following on from the Fillmore West 1969 shows and those from May 5th-9th 1977, this would be an ideal choice.

BigBrownie, thanks for reminding me of 1.22.68, long time favorite show and primal. Looking forward to the new Miles boot. Oro, your mention of Pat M took me down a rabbit hole, seen him a bunch, all the way back to days with Lyle. Peak experience minimal but incredible, had a back stage pass after his show at the Kennedy Center in DC the night he was announced as NEA Jazzmaster. The band was exhausted from touring and headed off on an overnight bus to their next gig. New interview just posted, Rick Beato with Mike Stern, Mike had Pat as a teacher at Berklee, played with Miles, introduced by Billy Cobham. Beato is a superb interviewer, gets musicians talking, also check out his interview with Pat.

I have all the road trips and bonus discs, I just did not recognize the date. I will revisit this though, it might have been 10 or15 years since I listened to it last. So a great late era PITB. I'm still engaged and will give it a spin.

If I did not have it already, based on your comment I would have hunted it down.

Since I must push through a repetive set of tasks at work this morning, I needed something primal to take my mind off it, so 3/1/69 seemed called for. This show continues to be my go-to from the FW 69 box. I believe that's because I had this show on tape back in the late 80s and so it's simply burned into my brain. I do a lot of my listening in the car, and I burn CD-R copies for the purpose (so that the originals stay safe back at home). However, this morning I've found that my 3/1 CD-R has sustained some damage that affects The Eleven (aaaah noooo) so I'm going to use this opportunity to just chuck it into the trash and burn 2/28 instead in an attempt to try to get out of this 3/1 rut.

And I mean it's a deep rut - I've had the box set for years but have literally never played 2/27. The shows from 2/28 and 3/2 also get criminally overlooked... bad Obeah, baaad

Meanwhile, this weekend I got stuck into 3/17/68. Ferocious!

4-15-78 (Edit: the Let It Grow in this is fiery!)
Staying in sequence while trying to finish the Box. One more in the Devil box then I'm going to do DaP 15 from 4-22-78 to round out my April '78 tour. Not full Oro level investigation (love those, keep them coming Pedro) but I'm kinda slow. Then I may get to the Santa Fe release. Ah, the bounty of a cornucopia of fall riches!

Man, you should give 2/27/69 a chance, I doubt it will disappoint. I know that the Dark Star is on Live Dead, so you have probably heard it a few or more times already, but it really adds to get the transition out of Mountains of the Moon into the Dark Star. My car has a radio with a hard drive, and that show is burned onto it, so I end up listening to it quite a bit. That Good Morning Little School Girl from 2/27/69 just cooks in all the right ways too, probably my favorite version. The Doin' That Rag that follows is also fantastic, I really dig it, I suspect you might as well. Really just an excellent show.
