Grateful Dead

I really appreciate you taking the time to share that story esp since it's not the first time. You told it in a very evocative way, too. Personally I've never lived in a high desert town but I grew up in SoCal near enough to the Antelope Valley to have visited regularly, so at least I have a feel for the flavor. So that story really resonated. And as to questionable AUDs, well, I'm a sucker for 11-11-1970, as I've expressed elsewhere, so that just adds to the mystique. All the more so when there's no other way to take that ride (I'd like to have it one more time...)

I checked and don't have 7/25 in my collection so I will indeed go and find that GEMS version. Thanks for the tip.

I had to go look up the Chicago Int'l Amphitheater. Never realized it figured in some notable events of 1968 including the 'Pigasus' incident. I went and looked at some photos of the venue, checked out its histoyr, and it reminded me a bit of the Cow Palace in SF due to the showing of livestock. I wonder just how many ice rinks were venues for the Grateful Dead over the years...

Anyway thanks again. I meant to reply sooner but got busy late Wednesday night posting about that '70 Brooklyn Bowl show, and then despite yesterday being the 50th anniversary of the 7/25/74 show, I was unexpectedly too busy to get over here to post.

got up this morning with a hankerin' for some 1985, 3 seconds later, oh yeah...

Morning rockers, happy Friday!!!

Right now? Princeton, April 17 1971. Why? C'mon!!! Pigpen. Greasy is as greasy does.

Man - life in general - seems irrelevant to the workings of the universe: a mere smudge of water, grease, and carbon on a pinpoint planet circling a star of no special consequence.....

Rock on!!

Doc
Embrace the grease, if any, and look fresh and human........
P.S. Still waiting on 51.............

Please post what your opinion is of the show's Morning Dew, Oro

on recent long drive to/from project area, the 2 shows that really stood out in road music were DiP 19 - 10/19/73 Oklahoma City Fairgrounds and 10/16/89 (Nightfall of Diamonds, Meadowlands). Disc 3 from 10/19 is one of my favorites of anything released to date. I love love love the Dark Star > Mind Left Body Jam!!

Spinning now.

Yes, a galley proof is a test printing that is checked for errors and corrected before going into the final published version.
Much easier these days with computers compared to setting the letters for a printing press.

Hitting warp drive: P&N>PITB….oh my 😱

Maybe rehash 7/25 later…been kinda trying to save it for, ya know….

...to BLUECROW for the history on July 25, 1974; I always wondered why it was missing from the Compendium.
I have a Charlie M DL which was burned to CD many years ago, and I eventually lost that DL to an external HD failure,
and now thru the power of tech (CD>iTunes>phone) resides on my phone.
So without further elaboration, I'm grabbing some coffee and headphones, and I'll be taking off for the 50th anniversary of Chicago's International Ampitheater.

Peace All!

btw: a galley is a proofread signed-off final copy of a manuscript that's approved to be reproduced to a printing plate which is then provided to a printing press in book manufacturing

I just realized that tomorrow is the 50th of International Amphitheater 7-25-74 Chicago, IL.

Proceed accordingly.

Edit: glad folks here appreciate the story - thank you friends. It was yet another (very) strange occurrence in the desert here and not even the only one that was GOGD related.
