Grateful Dead

FYI - The King has put out a multi album LP set, the first of 3, only 1,000 made, 75 bucks.

That Samson & Delilah on DiP18 has that same dirt kicking feel. It's the one where Bob's mike isn't working in one of those unexpected beginning of the 2nd set sound issues and Jerry has to improvise for quite a while until they get it working. Someone described Jerry aiming his guitar neck at the roadies and doing a machine gun run at them. Even with the very extended intro Jerry still has great solos undiminished by the unexpected event. Fixing it on the fly! Both of these are in my top five S. & D.

Oro - Denver vs. Buffalo, whoda thunk it. I did not recognize the team that shut out KC last week.

Eugene Oregon 1/22/78 - a great record ! Or records, I should say. Many great versions of songs - one that isn't often recommended is Samson and Delilah. This one will put some dirt in your eye. Kicking.

Took a while - finally locked in on heart of DaP 11 based on the Taper's Section - He's Gone. Trucking > Other One > Brokedown Palace. Sugar Magnolia.

As I am want to say - OMFG!! The standalone He's Gone!! That freaking Other One!! Into Brokedown??!! with an encore of Unle Johns Johnny B Goode. WOWOWZA

DiP 1 vinyl finally gets to stretch its legs. Perfect pressing so far. No pops, clicks, or wobbles. Already finding stage comments and tunings not in the original CD. I'll have to do an A/B comparison between the CD taken from digital and this new pressing taken direct from the orig. tapes. I doubt if I'll be able to hear much difference. Just curious.
BC - DaP 11, oh that's where that's from. Hadn't looked that one up yet. A very fine cut in Taper's this week. I'm not sure I've heard a more interesting jam with Keith driving the jazz! So good.
Cheers

Both BC and Doc have recommended these, and the 18 I only recently received a copy, so I’ll hit it again, the 10 I’ve heard previously via Doc…

Thanks to Doc & Company for 1970 intel!

I’ve actually heard about 35-40 1970 shows previously, including the official stuff, a few from BC, and many from Doc and POTD etc.
But thanks to y’all I’ll add these to my list along with some other bits I’ve marked down…Not going to try for all at this juncture, but hope to put a dent in the more notable shows from this year…for now! Lol

2-4, 2-6, 3-21a&b, 4-25, 5-14, 6-12&13?, 6-24&25, 6/27-7/3?, 9/17, 18, 19, 20, 10-4, 11-5>8, 11-16, 11-20, 12-23, 12-26…

So hoping for another big grateful year: kick the tires on 1970, all of 85 I’ve not heard, the half dozen or so left from1990, maybe some fall 80 and dip my toe into 1995, and rehash 1975.
Onward!

Edit: hey, move that white Corvair lol

Dbl Edit: WTH, it’s early, these have been short…1/23/70!
16th was sweet, and good recording. 17 starts out sounding great but ends up being inconsistent throughout. Decent show though. 18th…? Like much of 70, some shines, some not so good, musically inconsistent too I guess…
Don’t get me wrong, when they do shine, ya need welders googles!

Taking the hints from the Tapers Section.

Did somebody say 1970?????

Try these:
9/19/70
11/16/70 a little uneven but the highs are mighty high
5/1/70
5/6/70

Enjoy,

Doc
