    One From The Vault

    August 13, 1975.
    Went to find this after PF and BTK referenced it on the Mars Hotel thread and found I only have a 90 min. tape that cuts off the Blues For Allah at the end. Doh! What was I thinkin'? Taped it in 1993 and obviously had no idea how rare performances of that song are. Only 5 times, all in 1975. Loved the wiki story about Mickey's live crickets in the basement with a microphone.
    Cheers
    Edit - How did I not get HNd when this AM nothing got through. So dang random.

    A 4 disc collection on Proper Records. Some beautiful recordings from 1926 -1949. One of the less celebrated roots of Dead consciousness.

    Haven't listened to this show in forever. Gifted a ticket day before in Chaco. It was hotter than Hades in the low desert in August (my first time down there) and thought my tires would melt as I drove into town. Ultramatrix circulates for Set I only and it sounds sweet. Edit - There's an in-house FM source for Set II.

    Boston 12/1/73 and the Grateful Dead Hour

    So I brought Dick's Picks 14 to work today (Latvala!) but then I had the urge to listen to 12/1/73. Anyone remember when David Gans played some of this night?

    My tape of GDH #217 survives after 31+ years! I had to go look up the airdate - 'twas the week of 11/16/92. Contained within is some of the finest banter you'll ever hear. The "Clear the Aisles" song(s) are amazing - at least in retrospect - I mean, obv no one in the band was amazed at having to go on "this lame trip"...

    In the foreward/intro for his book, Improvised Lives, Gans wrote that he thought the GDH would end after Garcia died. Show #361 aired in August '95 and contained the memorial at Golden Gate Park. But now we're at GDH #1853. That's nearly 1500 shows later. Gans is doing his level best to play as many Grateful Dead Hours as there were Grateful Dead shows! #ht

    Uncle Tripel-so you were actually there - almost. Hopefully you got into some of the other shows on this tour.
    It does enhance an era if you don't play anything from it for a while. Not that I'm going to attempt it with 1972 or anything.

    Did that Dozin' at the Knick yesterday and was amazed how good it was. That 3-24-90 show has to rival ones from any era! What a setlist too.

    Spring 1990

    I thought I'd give 3/14/90 a spin over the weekend, from "The Other One" box set. A few years since I've listened to a show of this vintage, and it was a pleasant surprise. So much so, that I'm now half way through the next show in the box 3/18/90.

I am listening to Dick's Picks Vol. 29 which contains 5/19/77. As a big fan of the Spring '77 Tour, the fact that Get Shown The Light was released, and that this year honors 40 years of '77 Dead despite what seasonal tour it is, I have been listening to the show of the given day back in 1977 if I can. So today, it's 5/19/17 so therefore I am choosing to enjoy 5/19/77 again, its a great show, however I like 5/21/77 more (also contained in Dick's Picks Vol. 29), but love 5/22/77 (Dick's Picks Vol. 3) in regards to the next upcoming dates. 5/25/77 is okay, despite the highly priced collector's value of it (Dave's Picks Vol. 1) it is not as magical compared to the other 3 dates I just mentioned. To each their own! I have listened to these shows, and so many more, countless times and still love them all. Have fun and enjoy. Happy 40 years worth of 1977 Dead and here's to another 40 more!
