    That Girl

    Pretty sure she was from CO. Tall, like 6'2", and as Lennon said, "you could say she was attractively built". She ended up front and center by the 2nd set and not sure she said anything to Bob but he certainly could not miss her or avert his gaze, lol. The lettering on the gauzy blouse was large and what was beneath it covered some real estate. Before the beginning of the show I literally ran into her from behind as the crowd was pushing their way up the stairs and when the people in front of her stopped everyone behind stacked up like falling dominos. I didn't even know it was her. That's when she turned around and smiled and I was at eye level with her beauty standing one step below. Unforgettable! Couldn't believe it was the dorm fantasy girl smiling at me.
    Cheers

    Wait wait wut??

    I've long wondered what Bob was responding to when he said I'm moving to Australia but truthfully never would have guessed it revolved around a beauty in a see-through blouse that read Australia!! Makes perfect sense now!! Even better that you knew her!!

    That Girl...

    ...in the see-through blouse (and no bra, hey it was the '70s) that said Australia on it! Kind of like something you'd see on rescue boat teams. I walked right into her walking in on the stairs and got the biggest smile from her as I worshipped from below. She went to CSU and lived in my dorm. We would try to time our dinner so as to be in line with her, lol. Bobby couldn't help but notice!
    Cheers

    "I'm moving to Australia"

    Still in the July '78 box with 1stShow's 1st show - I can only imagine! Right now "rewinding" from yesterday to Disc 2 and Estimated onward.

    Oro - right near the beginning of 1970 are Springer's Inn (1/16) and Oregon State (1/17) - they good!

    1970

    Hey 1970 freaks!
    Looking for some recommendations for the year 1970.
    Please include only UNRELEASED shows that are available in the archive,
    AND that you actually know is good, not something you just read about off the internet somewhere…
    Almost time to continue my quest, starting off with a little 1970.

    So many good songs.
    Runnin' Down a Dream - Mike Campbell! I remember seeing it performed live on SNL where Mike just shreds that ending.
    Cheers

    Moving on to Joe Cocker - Sheffield Steel - Joe always had great back up bands.

    Then Abbey Road

    Got the CD a few weeks ago but this is only my second listen.
    Has acoustic and electric sets, but both fit on a single CD.
    So, a short show also.

    In praise of short shows

    That's a good point - I also think that some of the shorter shows are great. The shows that brought this to my mind were the two sets played on 11/2/69 supporting Janis Joplin. Which, incidentally, sound great on this new vinyl release. Most of the shows in 1968 were shorter too, and the energy level on those goes through the roof.
    The point is also made in the Taping Compendium that Fall 1973 shows gained focus by shortening the length from the vast summer shows of that year. Though they are still great too, of course.

    July '78 And Short Shows

    The funny thing is we all think of them playing long extended sets but the short shows seem to concentrate their minds! Think Dick's 33 where they were told by Bill Graham to keep each set to an hour and July 12th '87 where they were on before Dylan joined them

    July '78 Box

    Just exactly perfect both in its music and the box aesthetic. Every show has the magic. The middle show from Omaha really captured my fancy a good while back in no small part due to Oro Thing 1's Oroboros Tale in which he meets Jerry after Madtown 2/3 (my first show) suggesting the band return to NE and what do you know 5 months later, almost to the day, they're playing Omaha complete with an indoor waterfall!

    so 7/5 spinning - np Estimated > Eyes!!

    edit - that was awesome!

Hey All, Been milling around in the Red Clay and Straight Life recordings. These are Freddie Hubbard's Masterpieces. The musician line up on these sessions are excellent. Highly recmmended and a fine way to take a break from the Dead...

12/6/73. Kind of a meandering one, that doesn't necessarily get to the point until the 37-minute mark. I think it's good to not have much of an agenda sometimes. Eyes of the world kicks in and is smokin' good. Killer Here Comes Sunshine. Why do so many great shows come out of Cleveland?
