Grateful Dead

#1 2 3 4

A few tracks into disc 1

GD!!!

:)))

That original album, Europe 72, is a great record. I've been listening to Wembley 4/8/72 this afternoon - on vinyl as part of the box set that came out a few years ago. If this is still available I would highly recommend it.

As a counter point I have started on the David Bowie box set " Rock N' Roll Star" which focuses on his recording of "Ziggy Stardust" and the BBC recordings from 1972. Excellent - but so different from what the Dead were playing around the same time in Europe. There's a beautiful hard back book in the Bowie box, and in one of the printed interviews from 1972, Charles Shaar Murray quizzes him about being camp, and says "No one ever called Jerry Garcia camp". To which Bowie replies, " No, right, but he's a musician. And I'm not a musician." Then.. " I have a creative force which finds it's way through into a musical form".

For the first time in awhile, listening to UJB>Wharf rat>DS>Sugar magnolia from last night of the Europe 72 tour. Sorta hard to go wrong here

Then onto 5/14/70 with first Attics!

Awesome

It is a classic.. an interesting song.

Their song White Bird is a classic

July 24, 1987
July 26, 1987

I was able to buy this recently for a decent price, I had never heard these shows before. I finally played it last week after istening to FOTD April '78 box for.... too long. That box didn't really grow on me like I thought it would.

Anyway, starting a second go around with 7/24/87 seems like a solid release I guess :)
