Grateful Dead

Besides good times and good memories, I also brought back a cold. I escaped it for weeks, and it caught me.

Shheeyit.

Disneyland was a very welcome bubble from current events.

When I get back to normal I will be doing more El Monte stuff.

The best way to experience Disneyland is by having a specialty snack.

Why, 9/27&28/76 of course!
Good sheet Mon!
Why is 9/27 not out?
Oh yeah, that’s going in the Rochester Box ; )

4/21 is a beauty, but as good as it is, I preferred the 2 or 3 proceeding, and perhaps the next night as good or better, Duke they seemed burnt, which is understandable…But hey, that’s just me lol, but what a stretch there!

9/25/76 to start today…
Just don’t tell ‘em ya know me!

If I get any weirder,..well, they have places for us…

Mornin', rockers!

Right now? Providence April 21 1971. Because CRUNCHY. Plus it rocks a tiny bit. And there's some good Pigpen. And it's going to be in the first April 1971 box set. Did I mention it's a rocker????

The more you embrace the weird crazy things about you, the more you find your tribe......

Rock on!

Doc
Embrace your differences and the qualities about you that you think are weird, eventually, they're going to be the only things separating you from everyone else.....

They seem to have stopped releasing shows from the European tour on vinyl. At least for the time being. If they release further ones, as I hope they do, this one would be great candidate to get the ball rolling.

23, decent, but…

and 9/24/76…
Edit: sweet set list, cool show that I’ve only heard a couple times as I only received a copy in the past year…thanks again XX really enjoyed it!

Fall 73…always the temptress!

...nov 20 1973
@ denver coliseum

to that 2nd set

PEACE for ALL!

Onward to fall 76…
Enjoyed 1970 more than I’d thought.
Out of tune “everything” and constant quip issues not as prevalent as I recall lol. Suppose attitudes an antecedent to bias’?
I wasn’t too familiar with second half of the year, but there’s some top notch shite thereabouts! Inconsistency too, but that usually goes with heightened transitional periods. Shame there’s not more good recordings…
But now I’m definitely ready for something completely different, so time to hit fall 76, including the new Dave’s!
Onward!
To 8/4/76
Both kinda status quo creeper first sets, but they sneak up on ya.
Dig the jam outta MAW on the 2, sounds like headed toward miracle lol, and JG is lobbying for trucking, even a lil Nobody’s fault vibe, but Bob ain’t going there, and eventually what might of been a cool segway just drops out, but rebounds with one of those big late seventies S&Ds, nice Candyman, and cool playing/jam.
Currently, Just on the jam outta Dancin from the 4. This show really picked up steam as she goes, and my goodness, what a Help/Slip!! If nothing else, check that sometimes! Ok, let’s see how it ends…
Believe this was my BFF Jim (Wild Knights Bass maestro!) and long time buddy Sean’s first? Shit, been needing to call him lol

...bucket hanging clear to hell...

jan 11th 1978 set II
@ the shrine

hell halfway twixt now and then

PEACE for ALL!

3/3/71
3/14/71
3/20/71
These were mostly good, and mostly good recordings, and you can tell they’ve morphed into that tight, song oriented band of 71, though there were inconsistencies, mainly the new, not fully absorbed material their still hashing out…
Today onto 3/21/71 at which point I’ll have hit all of 71, so will move onto fall 76 and hit what’s remaining there, including the new DaP!
Onward!
