    Yasss. How I dearly love the 6/28/85 show. And I appreciate and value the reports from folks like Uncle Tripel who were there! *edit* -- I meant to mention you as well Oro :) and of course Doc mentioned it recently too. Y'all are the best, ty for taking the time to share your memories with those of us who couldn't be there

    And that 9/21/72 show is incredible. I was also unaware... I've said elsewhere that it was just a random idiosyncrasy of my tape collection back in the day, but the latter half of '72 was simply unrepresented. I had some Europe material of course, and I had 8/21 and 8/24 from BCT and of course Veneta, but then nothing at all until Maples Pavilion to kick off '73. So all of that amazing Fall and Winter Tour was unknown to me until fairly recently. When I first heard the PITB from Houston in Nov '72 I thought my headphones were going to catch fire.

    The silver lining: I am still working my way through this INCREDIBLY fruitful and musical period in GD history, most shows being heard for the 1st time. What a treat. Someone - was it you as well, Doc? - mentioned Dave's 46 recently, and I'm about to give that one only the second full listen since I got it. Wonders await...

    ...BUT OF COURSE...

    today is JUNE 28th and it will be HERSHEY 1985...
    ..."with our highly trained equipment crew, equipment crew, equipment crew"

    I remember the rain leaking through the blue tarp that covered the top of the stage onto Kreutzmann's cymbals, and each time he hit it he closed his eyes to avoid the rainwater from splashing into his face.

    I remember Garcia dressed in his blue sportcoat/blazer and he too watch as the rainwater was dripping down onto his left shoulder during the 1st set with a look of WTH is this, (hence he sings "I feel the rain, and I taste the rain")

    Rockin' the headphones after this next cup of coffee and will be smilin' while cutting the yard for the next 2 hours (Birdsong > Comes A Time > Deal anyone?).

    everyone enjoy your weekend!

    Peace for All!

    Without music, life would be a mistake.....

    Morning rockers! And happy Friday!!

    Right now I'm listening to the Dark Star from September 21 1972. I was completely unaware of this show until its releases as Dicks 36.

    Very solid, even gargantuan show. New and old, rock and roll, jams, cowboy songs, Dark Star, Not Fade Away..........

    Absolutely worth a listen!!!!

    If you pour some music on whatever's wrong, it'll sure help out.....

    Rock on, enjoy your weekend!!!

    The Police - February 1979 - today it's known as University of Hertfordshire but back then it was still Hatfield Poly. Great show, there's video as well (believe BBC? Whatever, it's good stuff)

    Yo! and hello..........

    Next up: Baltimore September 17, 1972. Another official release that I didn't pay much attention to back in the day. My bad.............

    So much fun revisiting what I missed, mining them for the gold and gems that they are...........

    Music comes from a place we don't know......

    Rockit!!

    Doc, another paperwork day

    When you expect anything from music, you expect too much.....

    Hey rockers!!!

    Right now I'm listening to the Hollywood Palladium show of September 9, 1972. It's a little outside of my serious comfort zone, but a very fine show and definitely worth a listen.

    This was officially released a little over a year ago, and seems to have been quickly forgotten. There's actually quite a few really good later 72 official releases, worthy of relistens every so often...........

    I know, you're shocked, Doc raving about post-E72 shows. No I didn't fall down and hit my head. But last night I did fall outta bed while dreaming of a February/April Fillmore West 1970 box set.............

    My masters are strange folk with very little care for music in them.....

    Keep it rockin'!

    Doc
    My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.....
