    Eugene Oregon 1/22/78 - a great record ! Or records, I should say. Many great versions of songs - one that isn't often recommended is Samson and Delilah. This one will put some dirt in your eye. Kicking.

    DiP 1 vinyl finally gets to stretch its legs. Perfect pressing so far. No pops, clicks, or wobbles. Already finding stage comments and tunings not in the original CD. I'll have to do an A/B comparison between the CD taken from digital and this new pressing taken direct from the orig. tapes. I doubt if I'll be able to hear much difference. Just curious.
    BC - DaP 11, oh that's where that's from. Hadn't looked that one up yet. A very fine cut in Taper's this week. I'm not sure I've heard a more interesting jam with Keith driving the jazz! So good.
    Cheers

    Both BC and Doc have recommended these, and the 18 I only recently received a copy, so I’ll hit it again, the 10 I’ve heard previously via Doc…

    Thanks to Doc & Company for 1970 intel!

    I’ve actually heard about 35-40 1970 shows previously, including the official stuff, a few from BC, and many from Doc and POTD etc.
    But thanks to y’all I’ll add these to my list along with some other bits I’ve marked down…Not going to try for all at this juncture, but hope to put a dent in the more notable shows from this year…for now! Lol

    2-4, 2-6, 3-21a&b, 4-25, 5-14, 6-12&13?, 6-24&25, 6/27-7/3?, 9/17, 18, 19, 20, 10-4, 11-5>8, 11-16, 11-20, 12-23, 12-26…

    So hoping for another big grateful year: kick the tires on 1970, all of 85 I’ve not heard, the half dozen or so left from1990, maybe some fall 80 and dip my toe into 1995, and rehash 1975.
    Onward!

    Edit: hey, move that white Corvair lol

    Dbl Edit: WTH, it’s early, these have been short…1/23/70!
    16th was sweet, and good recording. 17 starts out sounding great but ends up being inconsistent throughout. Decent show though. 18th…? Like much of 70, some shines, some not so good, musically inconsistent too I guess…
    Don’t get me wrong, when they do shine, ya need welders googles!

    We had exchanged smiles in the chow line at the dorm before but I'm sure I was too shy to go further even after the recognition at Red Rocks. And I was not in classes by summer 1978. Had one frosh class in '75-'76 with her IIRC. I think she was from Fountain, near Colo. Spgs. The dorm had a schedule for meals that involved different wings coming at set times to avoid a crush. We had a regular bong session daily M-F that centered around watching Star Trek at 4PM while doing endless bongs playing Spades or Hearts and then we would go a little earlier than our required time to catch her and her wing-girls in line. Probably said wow these guys reek of Columbian!

    So did you talk to her later on now that you had something in common?

    Ok, onto 1970. Thanks BC think I had those and something else marked as POTD but I was outta round to it’s at the time.
    Gonna start with 1/2&3/70 but will definitely check those out soon!
    Tanks BC!…and ISTSHOW fer da mammeries yuck, yuck…sorry, couldn’t resist.

    Glad I could shed some light on that. I think I've told it before but it has got to be my best GD show story and one I will never forget! Did I mention the Daisy Mae cut-offs she had on?
    Cheers

    Finishing up 10-29-77 Dekalb. Very nice NFA in there!

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.
