Grateful Dead

Oro wins Deadhead of the Month for turning me on to 8/19/70

Extremely hot show I don't recall ever hearing mentioned

Do yourself a favor and listen

It gets really hot 🔥

Frank Zappa quote

Plenty good shows

I am at 12/27/70 Midnight Hour

I have never heard 8/19/70, Oro

Archive, here I come

12 27 is in the car, you see, and....blah blah blah

These El Monte shows are kinda under the radar good, perhaps not quite as tight and energetic after a long year of very eclectic and often superb shows as some, which is understandable, but mostly good shows and nice recordings.

Yeah PF, 8/18 is pretty cool, 19 perhaps even better?

EDIT: might as well hit last few I missed from 71…
Starting with 1/21 (poor audio, chick doesn’t shut up lol), and 1/22/71, more low fidelity…the 24 I’ve heard via Doc…

Banana boxes shows

12/27/70 for me as well

8/18/70 for the past few days

interesting little show

acoustic into electric (no break as far as I can tell)

Sweet H2H!

Pampered Menial from Pavlov's Dog
Vinyl first pressing with original gatefold sleeve!

"Thanks Mom!"

A favorite show for a long long time. Ca. '82 lucked into a very nice audience of Set II = Lazy Lightning filler. That tape revealed pure magic. Shared it far and wide before the Bettys first showed up on the scene. Soon after the Bettys arrived Dayton described swinging off the chandeliers to that gorgeous ripping final close to Morning Dew.

Just finishing Disc 1 from the GSTL release. So sweet!!

...always an enjoyable listen
