Grateful Dead

KSAN also broadcast the Winterland show, or at least one local show that year.

Thanks marye, think I have to get the Agora 78 show, although the December 15' 1978 Winterland is no slouch either.....and you are correct I have never seen a bad Springsteen show.... Forgot all about East/West..will have to dig it out.... Blood on the Tracks is a fan favorite..... Never thought Bruce would have such universal appeal, always figured he was more of an east coast phenomenon....

I.e., vinyl? Off the top of my head, and I might say something different tomorrow. They're all old because almost all my vinyl is old: Last Waltz (The Band and various) East/West (Butterfield) Layla (Derek and the Dominos) Born to Run (Bruce; I think Agora 1978, while now legal, is not on vinyl. I have it in pretty much every other format known to man, starting with an off-air recording from KSAN. Best Bruce show ever, though I have no complaints about the ones I actually saw.) Blood on the Tracks (Dylan)

Sitting on the shores of Lake Ontario listening to replay of 7/3/15.... Gets better with age....would take that to an island in a second.... and Katniss I second that emotion, we need marye to chime in on her top 5..... summer's done come and gone.... My oh my, oh my, oh my!

I'd love to hear your five desert island LPs?

once Clarence became a Bay Area local, more or less, he would turn up in the darndest places. I recall a particularly epic tech company Christmas party that included Clarence with a band, Chris Isaak and his band, and another band whose name eludes me but they were equally good. Those were the days!

67, 69..eh. agree a Bruce show is right up there with the Dead but nothing similar at all other than being the best. last time i saw Bruce was at an Obama rally in 2008...walking from a Browns game back to the parking lot, we came across an Obama rally in downtown Cleveland. Bruce did a few acoustic solo songs. Don't recall much about it other than it was a spectacle. Clarence wailing on the sax to jungleland, live, is worth the price of admission, tho you always get/got so much more. I miss Clarence.

And start dying little by little, piece by piece,Some guys come home from work and wash up, And go racin' in the street. And btw its a 69 Chevy with a 396, fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor..... But I digress..... God, I last saw Bruce in Cleveland in 2012 at Quicken Loans, he played that song and it made the 3 hour road trip worth while.... For me a good Boss show rivals the Dead, but for different reasons..... Saw the last Clarence show in 2009, over 4 hours long ....no set break and a 45 minute 7 song encore....

for racing in the streets!
