Grateful Dead

Longtime fan - had all the ECM records/tapes (Travels is my favorite) and caught him w/Lyle and band in '89, IIRC, or perhaps it was '90,? at the Greek Theater ... Thanks to my aunt & uncle for the tix. It was a great show. Saw him at the Orpheum a few years later as well when he had morphed over to the (fairly cool, but not quite as great) angular Thai-like sound/album ...
Selections from Under the Missouri Sky was the 'soundtrack' for our wedding - music for guests while seated, plus both the procession in & exit out. I still love his pure jazz playing - when that mood strikes - with the many duets and players over the years. So glad Vermonters had a chance to see him in such an intimate setting. These days however, I listen to much more Dead (heh heh).

Starts his 61st trip around the sun tomorrow. (he let his birthdate slip a few posts back, didn't think we were watching didja?) Hope you get a nice cake. (or a cheesecake, hint hint Dennis)
Cheers

Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock

very nice

as always: if any artist died too young, JH is it.

Edit insert: Jeez, how many don't you let that deal go downs was that? Going for the record number?
Finishing up my mini-tour of April '78.
That dang 30 days thing sucked me in.
Then the DiP 3 vinyl showed up.
"But I'll get back on my feet again
The good lord willing
If he says I may"
Still have DiP 52 in the wrapper, lol.
A bounty of riches.
Cheers
That was us about 25 rows up, middle right side at Red Rocks in '03. The guy in the Shakedown t-shirt. Love that Gilbert Shelton of the zoot-suited invisible man swingin' his chain! Wish they'd bring that one back. I'd put the sticker on my car again for sure.
Everybody who was there raise your hand. Or post. HF, was you there?

Solo Pat sounds awesome!
Saw him several times but always with Lyle and band.
Been digging my new Off-ramp and Missouri discs.

Dead on the Rocks! There both 03 & 04, good sheet Mon!
Wonder how many folks here inadvertently ran into each other BITD?

And S-W-B elsewhere tells tales of Merriweather 85…sigh

But enough nostalgia…where TF were we?
Oh yeah, 12/14/90
And
12/27/90

.... anyone able to download 31 days of dead?

So far all official stuff, so playlist can be made from in house stock, but still curious.

S-W-B - Killer disc - gonna jump right in. (Edit - so very good!)

Keith Fan pretty much (completely?) stopped posting here but pretty darn sure it is him posting on the Steve Hoffman Music Forum "The Grateful Thread" under user name KeithGodchaux. Posted in the last week there re 11/30/73. Not in communication with him, just something I noticed.

Just because ... Feelin' it.
; )

I also heard 4/29/71 first set

Wow what a great show

4/28/71 and 4/29/71 deserve full releases

To dream the impossible dream

miss that guy around these parts ... Anyway, I LOVE how much of Keith's left hand you can hear in the DaP 42 2.23.74 (top notch) He's Gone Other One - Eyes sequence .... Also, LOVE the somewhat laid back & funky groove in the SUPER Eyes outro jam that follows: (aka Stronger Than Dirt, or Milkin' the Turkey). Magic !!!
