    Glad you're listening to that fillmore run

    A nice, juicy box would be nice

    Yo, Oro, are you familiar with November Port Chester?

    Tasty

    So much for getting anything done today lol, WTH, why not…

    Aaahhh, if only this one had a DS! Awesome SB, awesome show!
    Not sure what’s available or not, with minor editing, but if ya do the math you could almost get 9/20 and the meat and potators from 9/19 on three discs…OR, if there’s some but not all of others available from the run you might have a nice DaP/w bonus disc…not sure enough overall here for a box, but perhaps as part of something more comprehensive? Just my dos centavos…

    No PF, I haven’t made it to Port Chester, yet. But per your recommendation it’s on my list! Looks like I have about a dozen SBs I haven’t heard before, and those six Auds. After that, time to git along little doggie! It’s been fun, but (per usual) I ended up doing way more than planned lol. Have a new appreciation for 1970 now, but starting to get burnt, and eager to roam elsewhere!
    Onward!

    Ok, been putting this one off fo ever, between all the hype, and it being on Dave’s possible list that doesn’t exist, figured I’d get ultimate virginal listen when it was released.
    But, since that hasn’t happened yet? Gotsta continue on with my quest.
    Besides, if I hear it, Murphy’s law, it’ll get released soon lol

    Worried. Anything I’ve heard that’s hyped this much usually disappoints?

    Should be doing other things, but just can’t shake the existential depression today, so WTH…

    Audio on this acoustic section now playing is abysmal. Supposedly eee lec tric is better…
    Edit: electric is better sounding but not spectacular.
    Figure if Dave has it as a possibility then maybe he has good tapes?
    Not sure how I feel about this one. Probably due to all the hype?
    Too many “best version” of this and that etc
    Definitely a good show, and though I don’t need a pristine SB to hear if their playing well, it probably would help? Throughout, I kept feeling like I was missing something, perhaps a touch o the mojo hand? I dunno, can’t grasp right words, definitely a great show but perhaps from musicians pov not RJ?
    Some shows just BOOM!, it hits ya, maybe situational?, perhaps next time I’ll 180 lol.
    Awesome DS, best…? I wouldn’t go that far, LL, same deal, though this one was interestingly different and perhaps more lewd and bawdy than normal lol, best…? Mmmmm, no.
    Overall, mediocre acoustic set comparatively, but one tasty Grease fest to be sure, and again, cool DS.
    Personally, that’s worth the price of admission alone, but objectively 4-4.5 outta five, maybe?
    Let’s see what the next one sounds like…

    Another Aud, this ons not so good, so far?
    But figured should hit the whole run to fully appreciate the next few gems.

    Ok for housework…

    Whoa, first BOR, and it’s acoustic! It’s crazy Bo daisy the things ya find…just gotta poke around!

...tribute to Mr. Lesh today,

march 19 1995 spectrum

well, because I made it to the 2 nights before
and then sold my tickets for 3/19
to take my lady to sunnier & warmer climes...
...I knew right away she was not like other girls...
for a much needed break from work

so imagine my horror upon
returning 6 days later...
...what the...UNBROKEN CHAIN!

well, after 36 yrs of life together
she is still the best in my life...

....once in a while you get shown the light
in the strangest of places if you look at it right...

PEACE!
One World in Harmony...

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.
