Grateful Dead

Cool story:
My uncle was part of the crew that built the stage and helped unload the Dead's gear that day - and for other bands over '73-'74, (which I'm pretty sure included the Allman Brothers) ... I thought perhaps he was the tall guy with dark hair and mini pony tail just to the left of the dude wearing the top hat in the first pic within the HCS box booklet (he's tall and wore his hair kind of like that, etc) ...

But he tells me that instead, he was able to watch the 5.13 show from the side of the stage that day (!) and did the same set up gig for the epic 6.16.74 WoS show at the same location (!!)

.

This show is jam packed with blistering perfomances!

Might be the best Bertha i've ever heard, absolutely rippin'

Sounds mighty fine

"In Blissful Company" by Quintessence.

Glad I scored the Lyceum Box when it was on sale.

Minglewood sure comes out swinging! And that lucky/joyful wave (dopamine? heh-heh) that we all seek hit me as Jerry lifted off in the Sugaree. 1st set is strong all the way through the super-powered Lazy Lightning > Supplication closer. It's certainly among the best versions I know of ...

X-factor: The mid section jam in Eyes is long and uniquely detailed, with Phil and Keith weaving some magic tones in and around the drummers as Bobby holds the center down and Jerry flits and dances creatively over the top of it all.
(edit: They definitely find some more of this in the middle of The Other One also)

Now on to Drums > Other One etc. - through Brokedown ...
Always worth a listen 🎶 😊

quite a whiplash in sound from all the pre-hiatus stuff I have been enjoying

can you say "cocaine"? (that's my guess)
