Grateful Dead

Wow Bluecrow I for one missed that re: 7/25/74 (if you have a link to your post I'd love to read more...?) In fact, I have never heard a single note from that show. TBH for whatever reason most of July '74 is sort of a black hole for me. I've heard Selland many times, but I wasn't paying attention when the Dave's series started, so I missed the 7/31/74 release. I have since added that Dillon Stadium show to my collection, along with the prior show at the Cap Centre, but for BOTH shows they bear the curious distinction in which I've said many times that I "must make time to sit down and give it a proper listen" but then somehow I've never actually followed through.

BUT - I am making time for Dave's 9 today. 5/14/74. That Scarlet->Must Have Been the Roses never fails to make me smile. Just a perfect show (ok, with the encore possibly excepted...)

Whole show is smoking, got that monster Hard to Handle, and I love the St. Stephen that starts Set II.

Just got back (a couple days early) from a week down south in the NM woods - did I miss any big news?

Feel like I've got a whole lot of listening to do with all the great '74 (and other years) suggestions I see below. Re: 7/25/74 - Cone Kid, not sure you saw my story post a couple of years ago but yours truly (bluecrow) was responsible for surfacing an audience (from the taper himself, only show he taped) that became the first circulating source for that show back ca. 1997. years later the sbd finally entered trading circles (not clear if it was in the vault all those years but it certainly is now.) I think the circulating sbd sounds sweet and Dave L. has featured parts of it repeatedly. i really dig the DS jam and just wish it went on another 20+ minutes. Hope to see an official release some day.

of course …

Aug. 4,5,6 1974 as per DRs recommendation, for that Playin' on 8-4, "The doors of perception have been blown off their hinges".
Also previously had to annotate the dates on 31.

So far kinda....ok.

Brent gone almost 34 years now

What a loss. The band must have been shocked. Or maybe not.

Stay away from that shyte, kids.

Glad I knew my limits and knew not to stick my hand into the path of the table saw.

Easy to love you

Morning, rockers!!!

Listening to right now? Why of course it's Bucknell, just because. This is one that truly requires no explanation. Unless it does, of course.............

All of the things I used to obsess over, I'm no longer as obsessed with, I have new concerns but they're a little more existential or cosmic......

Rock on my fellow rockers!!

Doc
Man can be understood only by ascending from physics, chemistry, biology, and geology, in other words, he is first of all a cosmic problem......
