    Almost at the end

    Fantastic show

    Even though Grumpy Grumpkins here isn't thrilled that Throwing Stones bubbles up

    The music prior to that is really good

    Edit:
    Beautiful run of shows

    I imagine it must have cathartic to play so well after the useless tragedy of Brent dying

    God Bless the Grateful Dead

    HCS box

    TNJ - congrats on obtaining that great box set. Enjoy! Not sure you listened in on the cd quality issues BITD - some of those boxes, mine included, had a whole lot of problems, especially glue on the playing surface. Like ConeKid said, rubbing alcohol (70%) - also antiseptic isopropyl alcohol (91%) - will remove that stuff. Hopefully your box is one of the clean ones.

    As luck and synchronicity would have it, in just last few days I was finally able to successfully rip every disc to my HD - initially 6 or so had skips (always in key jams). Had never had that issue ripping any cd before with that external drive and feel it had to do with the cds on some basic level. An unrelated software issue that I finally was able to resolve had me revisit ripping those discs with a different external drive and to my great delight and surprise they all seemed to rip clean and I've been dancing back and forth between the 5 shows listening to sections here and there, some that had problems to verify they're good now and some just cause I want to hear them. HCS was a dream box for me - I think I called for it at least a year before it was announced (not that I ever expected it to happen) - so to get a box with a lot of quality issues was "sort of" a real big problem. Along with glue and scratches, none of the discs were properly/fully inserted in their slot and so they all were in a flexed position and I wondered if the ripping issue was related to that. Quite frustrated, I transferred them all to jewel cases and basically they went untouched for almost a year until these last few days. And now all is better.

    Currently playing 5/20/73 Santa Barbara, the Here Comes Sunshine from Disc 2.

    The Octoberfest will be flowing tonight!
    You would think they would have to let us know soon about this year's MUATM.

    Check your CD’s for glue.

    The glue can be removed with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip.
    Once cleaned don’t put the CD’s back in the cardboard holders.

    9/12: good, but I felt like it was a bit off the first two shows?

    Fun set list, and most certainly some really high moments (like the whole D/S/cabin boy/dew), but perhaps like some of fall 89, going along good then occasionally some muffed execution. So good but maybe not RJ? I’ll definitely have to check these out again! But, now onto 9/14/90, the big apple, don’t mind the maggots, sha Doo bie…

    Onward!

    Can’t believe I didn’t go to these Philly shows, the rectum was sorta a go to for us. Somehow saw more shows there then any other venue.
    Guessing between relatively new job and still tying to deal with the debt accrued by taking the “20 year old” to Cali shows in June, and not getting paid back a nickel!. I’m sure I had to cover most of Richfield too lol
    …it’s a real shame they gotta cost so much” lol.
    Aaaa, but looking back, it was worth every dollar…
    Se la vie!

    E90: me neither PF. I have part of 11/01 on my server, but that’s all I’ve heard, yet!

    EDIT: TN with the big score, and it ain’t even hockey season yet ; )
    And itsssssss fry yea! Too soon for one of those Oktoberfest DV?

    OBEAH: love it, gonna moa some veggies, just as soon as I get back from the heart attack machine! When the going gets weird…

    Enjoy that HCS Box TN John. It is spectacular! Sound quality is A+. 6/10 might be one of my favorite shows. Can't get enough of that one.

https://youtu.be/zPuyT6EtRQ0 interesting interview with Zimmy on his website last week, the most he's opened up in decades.... http://bobdylan.com/news/qa-with-bill-flanagan/ He is on an old blue eyes kick, has a new 3 CD set coming out this week of Sinatra, he's no Enrico Caruso but when he interprets Frank, at least he tries to do those immortal tunes justice.
