What a show! It was Garcia's first time back since his coma to play with the Dead.. Back from the Dead to play with the Dead, and of course what better song to open up with but Touch of Grey. When Garcia sang "I will survive" the place just exploded, like something from a movie. Then during Candy man when Garcia sang " hand my old guitar" the place went nuts. This show would make a nice release.. Very emotional for all.

Ustad Zakir Hussain passed away yesterday (12/15) - may he rest in peace and beauty. An amazing musician. There is a WNYC New Sounds studio performance with Zakir and Rahul Sharma from just two months ago on utoob and the wnyc site. Just watched their performance of Dhun Keharwa - simply gorgeous. Thanks to the SH poster who pointed to this.
As some of you undoubtedly know, the OSF Foundation released a volume of Bear's Sonic Journals entitled That Which Colors The Mind, with Ali Akbar Khan,, Indranil Bhattacharya, and Zakir Hussain (Family Dog on the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA, May 27, 1970.) Highly recommended.
By chance the only time I was lucky enough to see Zakir was his only guest appearance with the Grateful Dead - Alpine Valley 8/8/82 - where he and John Cippolina both played. For a long time I've wondered what the back story was of those 2 greats showing up for a show amidst the pastures and corn fields of America's Dairyland.
Up soon - some Diga Rythym Band - as the song says, Happiness is Drumming. All my Shakti releases are on LP so will probably rely on the interwebs for those, at least for now.

Sounds grate!!!
Phil sounds awesome on vinyl.
It helps that I got new Klipsch speakers and 12-inch subwoofer a few months ago.I had 10-9 set 2 on cassette, but never had set 1 or 10-10 on cassette. Was quite happy when both shows were announced as a DP.
Was glad I was able to score a vinyl copy when it came out.
