    2nd Disk of 5/26 is particularly Awesome!

    Along with the beautiful Playing - which, 3/4 of the way through, I picture as shimmering sunlight on a lily pond, with a hummingbird or dragonfly flitting about then lifting off - followed by the crowd's spontaneous, stunned reaction (!)
    Of course, we all know the heart of the thing (3rd & 4th disk selections) from the E72 album ... Overall, for me at least, it's hard not to put this show either at or near the very tippy top (surely a Himalayan peak, K2?) on the grand quality of the playing and total emotional commitment, as the closer of one of the greatest tours in their history, etc.

    GD just not happening right now

    Listening to Bob F. Dylan

    Highway 61 Revisited

    Mixed feelings on BD movie

    Hollywoodization is something I don't generally like

    Bob is awesome

    I haven't heard 5/26/72 all the way through for a long time

    It'll be good to hear pre-hiatus GD again after 90% post-hiatus for the past year or so

    My 16th birthday

    90 miles southeast of where I was living

    However, the bus was still a little over 2.5 years away from my stop

    Edit: first two discs ok but not transcendent, at least this time around

    Disc three? We will see...

    Edit
    Rest of show ok, not transcendent

    Did not listen to 12/4/79 filler

    Yet

Just received my Dave's Picks Vol. 21!What a great show/recording!1973-That was the year of my very first Dead show in Buffalo,New York!For fellow New York State'ers,some may remember that was the year of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's new get tough anti drug laws going into effect...of which "Don't get caught holding the bag!''was the slogan on all the commercials!Anyway,me and a buddy hitchhiked from Niagara Falls to Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium to see the Dead when, walking through the parking lot we were searched and busted with weed!The cops took our weed and then let us go with a warning-that almost blew the evening for us but fortunately the Dead and the wall of sound made us forget about the cops by the second song!(at least I think it was a wall of sound show-I know I saw it!)It was billed as two two hour sets-which it was probably more!Vol 21 is pretty much the same set list as that October show as I remember it.(without checking).Great memories of a life changing time in my life-I was 16 years old then and I turn 60 in April!I probably have heard some Dead or JGB almost every day since then!
