Oh Blimey!
Thanks Dave! This is going to take a long time to solve!!!
Good luck everyone!
The heart has its beaches, its homeland and songs of its own
For those of us who like to burn mp3's to CD's to play in the car, it's becoming abundantly clear that this year's collection isn't going to fit on two CD's, no matter how you slice and dice (not complainin' just sayin').
RE: pholkiephred - mp3's
Great tip pholkiephred, thanks!! And actually, that's exactly what I've been doing each year (and then I make it into a little easy Christmas gift for the missus, who has been on the bus longer than me). At the rate we're going this year though, 30 days will total ~1422 MB total. And the tracks usually get longer toward the end, not shorter. Again, this is a happy problem! Hmm, I have a few "extra capacity" CD-R's lying around somewhere, that can store 800 MB, I think. Might work, but not sure they'd play on all CD players (or any at all).
i wish i was a headlight... on a northbound train
me too jerr, me too
Nailed it!
Dave tossed it at us today.... We've been waiting for this for some time, I like the long search though, I freakin' nailed it quickly Thinking I would need a headlight on that north bound train..... Not today. This time period had some very intriguing setlist.
copper dome bodhi
my dear Mom loves to tell the story of when she saw the Beatles as a teenager at this venue with 30,000 other crazy kids. Everyone here has probably passed it as you crisscrossed America on tours over the years.
not a repeat as far as I can tell
Happy Birthday Wind Dancer!!!!
Some of you may remember Jonathan Wind Dancer from Early Dead Shows/Tour?He is not with us anymore,but it is his Birthday today,and there are NO coincidence that "China Cat" was one of the songs today,as it was his favorite song!When I lay in bed this morning,I said to myself,"What song will they play for Wind Dancer today"?And THIS?.....Thank You Spirits/Dave/Grateful Dead.for saving my brother,after he got back from Vietnam,and had No Family!You saved him.....
He was the quintessential Homeless Dead Head,who would,on an instant.up and go hitchhike to ANY show in the US...and make it there by show time!!!Thank You for your Life Wind Dancer!We LOVE you!!!We Miss You!!!!
on the hunt
wow
just a few to look thru
for 47 years, 18 touring, this has always been my most favorite of all.
i could and probably will listen to them all day.
one of the comments and the easy time period helped a lot….got it down to a list of manageable proportions.
i usually never find these, but today i am determined to succeed.
good luck to all.
Respectfully bowing out today
At over 500 shows with a China Rider, even with era clues limiting the stack you should scour, I have too much to do today. Good luck to all - and whomever of you fine people successfully find the show, you have my lifetime of respect.
Winner here should be receiving the box set in my opinion....
Yikes!! This one will take a while
So many versions to sift through. Have it narrowed down to 2 years but so many versions (minus 1 distinct version) it could be. No vocal flubs as clues either.
Major Phil bombs
What a grate way to start the day. All those years of research and timings led me straight to this magnificent show. Going to sit back and listen to the whole thang! Thanks, Dave!
Found it. Didn't take *that*…
Found it. Didn't take *that* long, lol. I am quite intrigued by those two or three versions that I listened to this morning that feel like they are being played on warp speed. They don't seem to coincide with any particular runs -- just pop up randomly. But man, they are flying through these songs. Enhancement? ;)
Look for a while for this China-Rider
I was fairly proud when I walked into this jingle.
Took me quite a bit of searching and listening, but I could not take my rest until I nailed it.
Now I get to ring that silent bell having finally found it.
Guessing many may bow out on this test.
David goes from putting the ball on a tee for us, to throwing a curve ball that goes in all sorts of directions.
I'm going to miss these 30 Days when they're gone.
Favorite Era
The sound from this particular tour is unmistakable IMO. These are by far my favorite shows to listen to. There's about a 3-4 month stretch where I feel like there wasn't a single clunker! Just magic from start to finish, with unreal second set jam suites.
My favorite year
This is a perfect example of why I love this year so much. Fairly quick search - setlist is standard for the era, but another great show.
Right there with you Mudlovebuddy!
Phil's light shinned though oh so bight
Phil Bombs and Beautiful Harmonies on Rider. This one took me a bit, even though I knew the specific era. Found some gems along the way, that's fer sure. Be Well Ya'll
WHERE DID THE MORNING GO?!?
I so didn’t want to give up- felt that after a couple of softballs I would buckle down and get ‘er done…
Finally got it- had the right era but there are a lot of CHINA/RIDER’s to get through in an any chosen time frame. A hint dropped earlier was correct, but really didn’t make the search any easier- if you chose that path it would have involved a completely different search, anyway.
Amazing that the outro to every RIDER is so different from every other- at least in this era…
Persistence and luck
Knew I had it within about a year from sound. Went around randomly, took a break, came back and started going one by one though a year and got there. Very first notes of the song by Keith helped. Even got it to synch. I'm guessing I tried at least 20-30. Sweet!
Cheers
I see copper dome bodhi's hint now, I guess that verifies it, if we are right, lol.

If I can get the year and season, I'm calling it a win.
Props to those that get it.
