Grateful Dead

here we go! set 1 was okay! I like where set 2 is going...

Samson oh yeah!! Lions Den for sure!! Growls...

Music swinging!!

The Natives are restless!

That was fun!

Love them while you can, for someday they'll be gone.

4 11 78

When i first heard it back in later 80s I was amazed at the post drumz sequence. I didnt know they had done it.

Nowadays its like "cool"
Back then it was like "wow!"

At the moment
4 14 78 looks Like Rain (never one of my favorites)

Due to holiday no need to go to work so plenny o' GD

Yay!

I’m going in order and will do 4-15 next to see (hear) how it compares to the Box.

I like 4-10 and 11 a lot, but they’re also burned into my synapses from having them on cassette and then CD-R.

nothing has really caught fire for me (I am jumping around in the sequence)

however

4/14/78 before work today sounded hot.

also:

in the car I am listening to 10/8/89

good stuff
really good stuff

Hoping it’s as good as I recall…
4/10 was not, in fact, bit of a dog, perhaps worst so far?
Not a bad show, just more inconsistent and several notable flubberies etc…
Let’s find out ; )
Onward!

JAX - middle of 1st set.
(edit - nice Estimated/Eyes in 2nd set)
Still most impressed with 4-6-78 so far.
Glad I got this box, I have skipped some.
Cheers

Recent listens:
Fleetwood Mac - Future Games LP
Teruo Nakamura - Manhattan Special LP (with Herbie Hancock)
Pat Martino - Joyous Lake LP
4-6-78 Tampa
4-7-78 Hollywood

Not a sports fan at all, will watch super bowl and world series with group, but really don't care.

I felt sorry for Pete Rose, I feel I heard a story about wife abusers being allowed into the hall of fame, but not Pete?

On another note, I have a new favorite song. Maybe a bunch of you have heard of him, but I hadn't, Jelly Roll. He was on Saturday Night Live this weekend and did a tune called "Winning Streak". A search of "Jelly Roll - Winning Streak (Live on SNL)" will pull it up. It's a tune about a alcoholic going to his first AA meeting.

One of the best refrain lines EVER

I was so ashamed to be in this seat, til I met a man who was 20 years clean
He said, 'Everybody here's felt the same defeat. Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak.'

Check it out. Hope you find it as good as I do.

And, no, I've never had an addiction or been to any sort of meeting.

Keeping the drive alive…

A true legend

He got screwed over

Charlie Hustle

Way back in 1975 I went to a Cubs game vs. the Reds...went down toward the field pregame

Here is Johnny Bench Dave Concepcion and Pete Rose warming up

That was cool to a 6th grader

Still cool to me now

He so much deserved to be in the Hall of Fame
