    "Many Thanks, and God Bless You All" from Phil before JB Goode,
    of the 3 nights, I always for some reason return to the 15th, it might be the heavy Phil & Brent mix that clinches it for me...fun stuff; even a couple of nice Garcia teases during space...

    Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die (a favorite from way back in the formative years)

    and now - David Gilmour - Live in Gdansk

    BTK - very cool that you got to see Kate sing time and again including the Sing Out! Seva Benefit. I was introduced to her music right around the time she died (I was Midwesterner then). Guessing a dubbed cassette copy from a friend of the double LP Give Yourself To Love. I in turn shared her music with many others. Such a remarkable, beautiful voice. Streamed the video for her performance of Green Eyes from the Austin City Limits show (don't own that yet) and my goodness how amazing it is. (Edit - originally wrote that it was a performance of Give Yourself To Love when it was in fact Green Eyes.)

    Further follow up - 8/10/91 JGB Electric on the Eel right up there with Warner Theatre 3/18/78 (Set II specifically) as an absolute favorite Jerry Band release. So good!!

    Sing Out/ Kate Wolf

    Sing Out is a great Owsley release, but all the Owsley releases are worth picking up. I was at Sing Out it was a cool show. Kate Wolf was a favorite of mine, I used to go see her play all the time here in the Bay Area.

    Last night.
    I’ve heard it before but not sit down listen.
    Though didn’t get the best listen last night due to aaaa, “extra curricular” activities/noise in the world.
    But it’s an interesting show that you just kind want for it to get released, especially because ya know…AND, it’s Pinkus first show, etc
    But I’m not sure it’s good enough, orrrr, tight enough for a Dave’s.
    Specifically, the beginning of the second set. Yeah it’s fun sneaking TOG in between S/F but the transitions are a bit sloppy etc, enough, along with other sorta normal what I call Cali laid back looseness lol to perhaps keep it getting “Daved”
    As we know, he likes to try and pick the best representation or presentation of the band/music on a specific tour etc, and not necessarily what some might consider “the best show” of the tour.
    BUT!
    After this Reno show getting out, and as Jim often suggests, sometimes these kind of shows work well to round out box sets, so I could see it as part of a Greek box! Curious what others think of this show?
    Think I need a redo, and gonna hit the rest of the 84 summer Cali shows asap.
    Onward!

    Don’t lend yer hand, to raise no flag, atop no ship of fools!

    And now - Electric on the Eel 1991

    8/10/91 - a five-star-give-it-ten-if-i-could favorite from the tape days back in the mid 90s. Awesome that it got released in that box - beautiful sound and show. Shout out to Proudfoot for mentioning that box and steering me here.

    Sing Out! - Kate Wolf set

    Let's Get Together (just played) and now the jaybirds calling on Like a River

    Fell in love with Kate's voice and music back in late '80s. Great to have this live set as part of a SEVA benefit concert that includes other favorite musicians of mine (thank you Bear).

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!
