Grateful Dead

DiP 1 vinyl finally gets to stretch its legs. Perfect pressing so far. No pops, clicks, or wobbles. Already finding stage comments and tunings not in the original CD. I'll have to do an A/B comparison between the CD taken from digital and this new pressing taken direct from the orig. tapes. I doubt if I'll be able to hear much difference. Just curious.
BC - DaP 11, oh that's where that's from. Hadn't looked that one up yet. A very fine cut in Taper's this week. I'm not sure I've heard a more interesting jam with Keith driving the jazz! So good.
Cheers

Both BC and Doc have recommended these, and the 18 I only recently received a copy, so I’ll hit it again, the 10 I’ve heard previously via Doc…

Thanks to Doc & Company for 1970 intel!

I’ve actually heard about 35-40 1970 shows previously, including the official stuff, a few from BC, and many from Doc and POTD etc.
But thanks to y’all I’ll add these to my list along with some other bits I’ve marked down…Not going to try for all at this juncture, but hope to put a dent in the more notable shows from this year…for now! Lol

2-4, 2-6, 3-21a&b, 4-25, 5-14, 6-12&13?, 6-24&25, 6/27-7/3?, 9/17, 18, 19, 20, 10-4, 11-5>8, 11-16, 11-20, 12-23, 12-26…

So hoping for another big grateful year: kick the tires on 1970, all of 85 I’ve not heard, the half dozen or so left from1990, maybe some fall 80 and dip my toe into 1995, and rehash 1975.
Onward!

Edit: hey, move that white Corvair lol

Dbl Edit: WTH, it’s early, these have been short…1/23/70!
16th was sweet, and good recording. 17 starts out sounding great but ends up being inconsistent throughout. Decent show though. 18th…? Like much of 70, some shines, some not so good, musically inconsistent too I guess…
Don’t get me wrong, when they do shine, ya need welders googles!

Taking the hints from the Tapers Section.

Did somebody say 1970?????

Try these:
9/19/70
11/16/70 a little uneven but the highs are mighty high
5/1/70
5/6/70

Enjoy,

Doc
We die only once, and for such a long time......

Those were the days my friend!
We probably would of thought stinking like weed would make us more interesting to the fairer sex…idiots lol

We had exchanged smiles in the chow line at the dorm before but I'm sure I was too shy to go further even after the recognition at Red Rocks. And I was not in classes by summer 1978. Had one frosh class in '75-'76 with her IIRC. I think she was from Fountain, near Colo. Spgs. The dorm had a schedule for meals that involved different wings coming at set times to avoid a crush. We had a regular bong session daily M-F that centered around watching Star Trek at 4PM while doing endless bongs playing Spades or Hearts and then we would go a little earlier than our required time to catch her and her wing-girls in line. Probably said wow these guys reek of Columbian!
Cheers

And glad to enjoy it…I can picture the whole thing lol
So did you talk to her later on now that you had something in common?

Ok, onto 1970. Thanks BC think I had those and something else marked as POTD but I was outta round to it’s at the time.
Gonna start with 1/2&3/70 but will definitely check those out soon!
Tanks BC!…and ISTSHOW fer da mammeries yuck, yuck…sorry, couldn’t resist.

Edit: now if we knew about the “girl with lobotomy eyes” he dedicated an encore to, maybe a us Bluzz, but can’t remember show off top of my pointy head?

Glad I could shed some light on that. I think I've told it before but it has got to be my best GD show story and one I will never forget! Did I mention the Daisy Mae cut-offs she had on?
Cheers

Finishing up 10-29-77 Dekalb. Very nice NFA in there!

Why Bob said it was truly one of those little mysteries in my mind that I never expected to be answered . . . . I can't stop laughing!

Those stairs are steep!

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
