    5/07/72 Bickershaw Festival Wigan, England The one with the Dark Star and Other One. Yep, it's smokin' from the git-go! I'll see if I can suck it up and listen to the Boston, '77, show later - got the place to myself. '77 might just have to wait 'til tomorrow though. The eighth's a pretty good show, too, isn't it?

    After several times listening at different sound levels my opinion has gone up slightly. I don't remember which Dark Star it is, St. Louis I think, that has a jaw dropping catapult into space courtesy of Jerry. I mean, they even pause in the song for a very slivery split second after this sonic boom. The other highlight for me is The Eleven. It is blistering. Conversely, the New Speedway Boogie seems like a tacked-on after-thought. I guess the purpose of this release is to fill in some not well-lit moment in Grateful Dead history. I accept that every output is not going to be scorching through and through.

    Grooving to the DP6 bonus disc and really enjoying the early rendition of "Dire Wolf." Also, this rendition of "Mason's Children" is far superior to the previous night's that's featured on the main release. I can't recall exactly when 'Workingman's Dead' was released, but I like how the song still felt new at the time, how it had to build up steam before the band could really rip into it. Speaking of DP6 proper, I was a tad disappointed in the 12/20/69 performance of "Dark Star." It was sonically intriguing but felt less ambitious than other performances. Not to say it was "bad," per se, but the band seemed hesitant to really explore the perennial jam session. "St. Stephen" and "The Eleven" that followed, however, were lightning-hot, and that 35-plus min. "Turn on Your Lovelight" burned the house down. All-in-all, another great show to love and cherish! Also, as a side note, when I ripped the CDs to iTunes, I put the Fillmore show in the proper order. No need to interrupt the jams when you don't have to change CDs!

    Well, sort of. Right now, the 2013 bonus disc. I truly do love this mix of Pigpen with the first glimmers of that explosion of incredible songwriting that starts around this time. May 77 box ordered. Ain't life grand?

    Just finished the Fox Theater concert, and WOW, what a show!! "Turn on Your Lovelight" > "Not Fade Away" > "Turn on Your Lovelight" might be one of the best 'Dead jams I've heard in...well...EVER! The "Dark Star" > "St. Stephen" > "Mason's Children" jam set is also a booty-shaker; it was all I could do to keep from dancing out of my cubicle! And "And We Bid You Goodnight" was the utmost perfect way to end that show--bring it in slow and steady, rock 'em 'til their socks fall off, then lay them down gently to sleep. Quite possibly the best of Dave's Picks so far!

    I'm maybe halfway through the show from July 7, '89, and it's a pretty solid piece. Started off slowly and a little shaky, but it's certainly picked up steam after the fantastic jam at the end of "Let It Grow." Sadly, I found this show's renditions of "Ramble on Rose" and "Box of Rain" rather weak an uninspired; totally digging the "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain" jam, though. Perhaps this is some of that '80s inconsistency that many have commented about in the past.

    In honor of the forth-coming May '77 box, thought I'd try something a little different. Oh, my. I've been listening only to '69 & '72 and I'm finding this quite odd. But inna good way. Things have slowed down so much it's mind boggling!!! La esposa and I are going to a new restaurant, Mission Taqueria, featuring a menu loosely based on that of the culinary styles found in the Mission District, S.F. Promises to be riquisimo! Happy Cinco de mayo!

    5/04/72 Olympia Theatre Paris, France Just finished a screaming Railroad Blues only to repair to The Stranger - this is fine, fine playing - you gotta love it when the guys answer Pig with their Whoa oh, whoa oh's! Think I'll throw Peggy Lee's "Black Coffee" into the grinder during intermission (5/04/53). Feliz pre-cinco de mayo!

Sing the Delta I must confess that I've lost track of whatever message Randall Lard is attempting to send us in this thread. I'm afraid that if I go back and piece it together it'll turn out to be a prophecy of the apocalypse. Or a recipe for cheesecake. Or not.

It's spacy and a thrill to listen to, if you know what you're listening to. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope it's happy, healthy and safe for everybody -- from the Macy's parade to packing Turkey sandwiches on Monday morning! Ain't that America?

"Electric Music For The Mind And The Body" -Country Joe and the Fish.Another case of a band most famous for one of it's worst songs(?). I find "Feel Like I''m Fixin' to Die", an annoying, unlistenable song. But there is some really wonderful music on this album.... Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone.

I've had more fun discovering this band this year than any other recent discovery. I have enjoyed out "music" by Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, and Henry Kaiser for almost ten years, but had resisted the pull of prog and Canterbury. Big mistake. HC and its peer groups were great, committed and uncompromising artists. Jump through the window!

At the moment I'm listening to the jam out of Playing In The Band. I picked this up on sale in a record store for $15. It's KQED's production and is done pretty well. There are some really good shots of the band as a family up on that stage. There are the two drummers in the back, the trio of guitarists, Donna between Jerry & Bob and Keith on his Yamaha keyboards to the right. Everybody looks so dang young. Bobby with glasses. Keith always looks so freakin' into his own world. This show is very California mellow. You sit back and scratch your head going "Man, I sure remember the band a lot more rockin' than that..." But, that was the way it was in the West in general and California in particular. The floor isn't overcrowded with tightly packed people, the whole scene is very mellow, like eating a giant Quaalude. Anyhow, I'm sure glad I picked it up. This is my first listen to this show.

In face of the harshest darkness there is light. It is like watching something beautiful appear out of the most mournful space-jam the dead ever did. Sometimes it was The Wheel, Sometimes Gimme Some Lovin, Sometimes Truckin' or Uncle John's Band. You never knew. But out of the confused gyration of meandering space there was something to be joyful with. This year's vortex seems to be grinding non-stop, yet still a beautiful tune emerges as the days start to become longer. Celebrate life and light and let the darkness fade on it's own. Thrive this season! Everyone!

Kingswood Music Theatre, Maple Ontario: Listening to the recording one is not struck by any superlatives, yet there is s total above-average quality of playing and smoothness here that cannot be denied. The BIODTL>Dupree's>LL Rain> Might As Well really shows some sustain to end the first set... Scarlet>Fire does not slouch to opens the 2nd. But it is of course the New Orleans; Big Boss man>Aiko-Aiko encore trio that steals the show, followed by Wavy's remarks about these being the good ole' days at the end is what marks this as a watershed moment. My favorite for all of '84 (And applause for those polite Canadians)

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/eight2theuniverse Got this from a friend, ahhh a miracle indeed as it is hopefully connected to the Furthur Show in SF. It's in between sets, finger's crossed it's a good stream. The FURTHUR poster is awesome, great job it's powerfully symbolic but with grand grateful dead custom adherence, xo! Wish I were in SF....ahh but alas I am. Love you all, xo

Listening to 9/24/1993 Boston. Flew up from Nashville with three friends, where we met up with more friends and stayed at my sister's house for the weekend section of the Garden run. Fri 9/24, Sat 9/25 and Sun 9/26. I'm building up the energy preparing for the spectacular "Standing on the Moon" on Sunday. Sitting rear of stage at the old Boston Garden had great sound. Our mail order gave us one night on the floor and two side/back stage on Phil side. From the back, the stage was open and we great view (and sound like I said) of Billy and Mickey during show but especially during Drums when the vast array of percussion instruments were put to use. Really fun weekend. Sunday night was insane in so many ways. Those of us who were there in my circle of friends recently had an email chain reminiscing the details of that night. I just love how the Grateful Dead's music is so wonderfully preserved. Listening to shows I went to literally take me right back to the venue and the friends and extended Dead family I was with at the time. Sensory overload, I can see it, hear it and even smell, taste and feel it. He's Gone from 9/24 that is queued up right now is very spirited. Later today, surely I'll be on the archive dialing up past New Year's Eve shows; and/or see what XM23 has to offer.
