Grateful Dead

Our small band of wanderers were there.

My greatest memory is Zero playing the greatest ever "She's Not There". When they came out of the jam my head exploded (and not with dark forebodings).

I might have that show.

Fivebranch - going off photographs and sound, it seems Jerry started using the Wolf in Fall 1977. I agree - a much hotter sound than that of 1976 and the first half of 1977.

An absolute favorite.

Very hot show

This afternoon was February 3, 1978, Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin. Makes me want to jump back into the Friend of the Devils box. Jerry has a more brittle but 'grabbier' tone than '77, which I assume is from trading the Travis Beam out for Wolf? Either way, the dissonance is a little spookier, ghostlike. Works great in the space segments.

Name that show and win!

and they do (!) It's OK in spots and Ouch in others - the only blemish on an otherwise Great show.

So IMO, no DaveRock you're not missing much ... Stick with Wilson Pickett and Carry on.

I do believe we are rooting for different teams.

I'm listening/watching the Dodger - Giants spring training game...later today after the game I plan to deep dive into my Charles Mingus collection...

I played this one yesterday. A Rocket to the Moon. I always miss off Hey Jude at the end, though. Maybe I should give it another go - I might be pleasantly surprised. Although it's not a song I like, generally. Apart from the Wilson Pickett version with that blistering solo by Duane Allman.
