    Quadrophenia (Deluxe) I've never seen the Who, just got tix to see them in November performing Quadrophenia. The "deluxe" part is Pete Townshend's demos of the songs on the album. His demos sound better than a lot of bands' final products...

    Been driving around listening to the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band this weekend This band supported the Grateful Dead at the Boston Tea Party in 1969! What a wild show that must have been.

    Or could they have picked better versions of a lot of the songs on Reckoning? I have a bunch of stuff from that Warfield run and Jerry's voice sound much better on the unofficial stuff. Also I hate how loud they mixed the crowd on that album.

    Thanks, you've definitely given me some homework! So, do you think the "Great" 5-8-77 Barton Hall show is overrated, or great but there are better? I noticed you didn't mention it. I DLed it yesterday but haven't listened to it yet.

    Free: 10-29-77 The Dead in '77 had a lot to do with raging, right? Get the recent Charlie Miller Aud - they were all the way on this night. (It was a Saturday) Dick's Picks 15. 9-03-77 After being "unable" to play for a spell, they bust out big time - Jerry is en fuego!!! My faves are 1/2 Step, Music, Loser, Estimated>Eyes... There's a radio broadcast out there with Jerry way more front-and-center than here - this is the connoisseur's version. (It, too, was a Sat) Dick's picks 29, 5-19 & 21-77. The first show has an electrifying Sugaree as well as a tremendous second set. The second show has Scarlet >Fire and is probably a hair better overall. (Thurs. & Sat.) AND there are three Winterland runs to be had via the Archive and Dead.net - for purchase, downloads and vines. Suerte, suerte.

    Definitive '77 Show?
    There are obviously so many great live shows, but I personally feel like Live/Dead kind of best represents their late 60's sound, and Europe '72 (once I went and got the original tracks for about of it, those which were sped up so much on the offical release they sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Dead) is just the best you can do to represent the 72-72 era. But I know '77 is thought of as another great year, and all I have so far is a rather underwhelming (In my opinion) show from 4-30 (Download Series, Vol. 1). What would anyone suggest as THE one, single show to have from '77, official release or otherwise? I tend to lean toward the officials only because the sound quality tends to be slightly better than the stuff available on Archive.

"In the Court of the Crimson King," "In the Wake of Poseidon," "Lizard," and "Red." Might even throw in "EleKtrik: Live in Japan" for good measure.

Storybook A covers album. Unfortunately contains the Suzanne Vega hit "Luka." Unfortunate not because I dislike the song, but because even hearing the name tends to start my interior jukebox with the tune and it could take days to get it out of my head. Happening right now, by the way.

RIP Jim. and South Memphis String Band -- Old Times There... More back-porch string music with Luther, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Jimbo Mathus.

The Carpenter I would have liked a little less cello and a little more banjo (no need to "pretty up" these songs IMO). Still an enjoyable listen, however.

Fantasy The Complete Recordings is Remastered and Resquenced to the original recording of July 1973. If you already own anyof the Keystone releases you MUST have this one. Absolutly unbeleivable sound. This was recorded 39 years ago....Get a copy for yourself, you will be very happy with it...!!!!

Rooster Rag. Again. Truly an amazing disc! Anything Robert Hunter touches these days turns to gold - but then we've always known that, haven't we?

Live in New York City (6/6/11) I saw Simon about 6 months later on this tour -- setlist was the same as the NYC concert, though the full show from this tour includes a couple of additional covers, notably a show-highlight of a "for George" rendition of "Here Comes the Sun," unfortunately missing from this release. Still pretty damn good after all these years.

Baltimore's own Jacob Panic's brand-spanking-new album, "Pop-Grass," which is available exclusively through Bandcamp.com (http://jacobpanic.bandcamp.com). If you dig modern pop songs played by a bluegrass band, check this album out; it's a steal at $10. And Jacob can pick him some wicked banjo!

Palo Alto, Stanford U. 10/10/82 Had to listen on its 30th! (Miller Aud) A Sunday. I can imagine it was awesome to be there - all those exotic trees with the dappled light, balmy temp, and Jerry lettin' 'em rip! Too much! Agreed, best show of '82.

sounds perfect in some way every time I listen to it 'bout now, in the Fall when time is warping and tightening - awhoa! 10-12-68 give it a try, listen to it again or not. Unrelenting, ferocious and "spot-on, eh?". I was really hoping that the next Dave's was going to be this or hereabouts, but what is within earshot is most definitely worthy. Go there GOGD!!!
