    Poster Is Available

    I don't know the answer but a copy of the very cool poster for this show is available from the WI Historical Society for only $15.50 (and up depending on size).
    Cheers

    Morning rockers!!!

    Right now: March 14, 1971. Because why not...........

    Based on my limited knowledge of 1971 Dead shows, it seems that there's something rare & unusual about this show. What could it be?????

    PM me your answers, first correct reply gets ten shows of their choice. No charge, no muss, no fuss, no customer service issues................

    I cannot help but think a curious event is this life of mine.....

    Rock on!

    Time moves in one direction, memory in another.....

    Mornin', rockers!!

    On morning commute-2/11/69 early show. Now sitting at desk, another paperwork day, 2/11/69 late show. These short sharp sets surely satisfy. Try saying that five times fast.......

    Or, conversely, you could merely listen, and enjoy some good old Grateful Dead!

    Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.....

    Rock on!

    Memorial Day weekend '92

    I was there for that Shoreline run. Saturday 5/23 remains my fav by far. This owes both to the impeccable song selection (well otoh OMSN... but it *was* Saturday) and the excellent blotter. We were up on the lawn but right on the rail, too. Afterwards we went into the Safeway down the street from the venue and it was just awash in happy heads. The post-show energy was incredible that night. But then... well, 5/24 had that Shakedown opener, one of the best I can remember from the Vince era, but after that it felt like a peaks n valleys kinda show. I remember getting in a headspace during 2nd set where I was thinking, basically, "where has energy from 1991 gone?" but then Mickey and Billy brought me back up. And the Morning Dew closer was glorious. However 5/25 was mostly forgettable, although I'm a sucker for Phil singing Tom Thumb's. I do remember that while Garcia seemed listless at this show, he came alive during NSB. And tbf the crowd loved Baba O'Riley->TNK. We'd all heard that it had debuted at Expo the week prior (I guess there's a one-off performance from early 1970 but few if any of us knew that, so we genuinely believed it was brand new) and hearing it on Memorial Day infused things with energy for while.

    '92 was just like that for me: peaks and valleys. It was hard to get a handle on it at the time. In retrospect it's more obvious but in the first half of '92 I simply didn't realize how spoiled we'd been by the past 3 years. Sure, the loss of Brent was massive and it really hurt, but it felt like they came back as strong as they could, and '91 with Hornsby (even without him at times) was a really fun time. Come '92, I saw JGB at the Kaiser in February and again at that one-off show in San Jose in late April, and those were fun shows so it kind of made me think everything was fine, but then when I'd go see GD shows there was this lingering vibe that something was off. Anyway, I hope y'all will forgive me if I'm getting too negative. There are still a lot of great moments in 1992. Fast-forward to the Halloween return at Oakland... that moment that Garcia said, "how y'all doin?" and flashed that grin and then looked over at his bandmates made it feel like everything was alright in the world once again. We sure could use more moments like that today!

    Listening to 5/31/92 II now. One of those great Vegas Spaces...

Currently I am not listening to music but busy organizing my huge music collection which I managed to mess up over the years :D LOL. Found a cool article while surfing the webhttp://www.netpegs.com/comp-and-tech/peg/cool-online-tools-to-keep-your… which forced me to think to organize my music as well... Will be busy with this for another couple of days :)
