    5/2/70

    Ok twist my arm, but not hard lol
    Hey, these floors aren’t gonna clean themselves ; )

    Edit: just finished the fine MSG 90 run, Berry interesting.
    Lots of cool jams, and JG is obviously digging Bruce etc, so the energy is big!
    Perhaps a bit much from so many folks trying to go hard?
    Only criticisms: personally sometimes don’t like so many folks as it gets a bit sonically crowded, think they dialed that in eventually, and hey, under the circumstances it’s understandable here.
    Didn’t always like the mix, especially Vince OCCASIONALLY too loud, but you’d think that’s not his fault…I.e., Dicks from the 16…?

    TN John, noticed you were at these fine shows, would love to hear your thoughts and/or any good stories! Do you have a fave?

    And PF, thoughts/Fav?

    Interesting. I used to love to save a good listen for nighttime, or at least later in the day when it was time to pa teh…if I did that now I’d fall asleep before the first set was over! Something about light versus dark?
    BITD the idea of loud in the AM was unthinkable, but now as soon as I get home from my AM walk, the jute box gets fired up.
    I’m not big on cans etc, so I just turn it up enough that I can hear it everywhere lol. Plus, I have four zones: Main stereo, Living/Kitchen, garage, and Theatre.
    Keep meaning to get a speaker in 2 baths, but I’m getting old and lazy lol.
    So if TOO is home, I can usually find a zone where it won’t bother her too much, or, I can fire em all up!
    I’m with uncle T, nothing makes the routine manageable like strong coffee, a big bong rip, and a good Dead show!
    BUT!
    New releases always get a proper virginal sit down on the “stereo”, early, with coffee and before the weed takes over lol
    BUT!!!
    Doesn’t matter what you wear, just as long as you are there ; )
    Onward!

    Edit: when I was working I’d most often be in some huge empty mansion with many zones all over, so I’d just fire up a show and hear it everywhere!
    Bit awkward when on occasion some super weird end of the world space, Dark Star, TOO etc be blastin and a property manager would show up unexpectedly lol.

    Moving fast - everything looks great

    Uncle Tripel - sounds like a good plan ! I tend to wait until the day is done before I put The Dead on - although I did listen to the first cd of Veneta 8/27/72 while I was frigging about this morning. But I'll play the best bits later on, when I'm in a state of semi collapse on the sofa.

    Needless to say 5/2/70 is incredible - however, whatever or whenever you listen to it.

    Met old friends and made some new ones, superb grease bucket show last night in Deerfield at a relatively new outdoor venue, where they also happen to make a lot of beer, very well organized, lots of room, excellent sound. First set was the entire Cal Expo show from 11/21/69, second set more of the same with longer jams, Thats It For the Other One, St. Stephen, a fantastic Alligator, encore JA's Volunteers. This their final show of summer tour before a couple weeks off. Packed with primal and Workingmans Pig treats, heaven.

    The way I store my shows, in folders with the date.
    Whether it’s DP, DaP, RT, FTV, VFTV, DS, or a Box is irrelevant.

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!
