    This one's been a regular part of my wake and bake routine for a long time.

    51 should arrive by lunch time.

    Peace

    Playing now.
    I always thought it was the weaker of the 3, but I could be biased since 7-17 was my second show and I got it on VHS when Downhill From Here came out and played it extensively. Eventually got the DVD, and am now waiting for all 3 nights to come out on Blu-ray.
    Note: still a terrible decision to replace the end of 17th set 1 with end of 19th set 1. Unless there’s a legit reason like the video doesn’t exist.

    I got 7-19 set 2 on VHS at the end of the 90’s. It was a few generations and grainy, but I played that a lot too.

    7-18 sounds pretty good tonight though.

    So, in conclusion, yes Dave, I’m (im)patiently waiting for all 3 nights to be released on Blu-ray.

    Yeah, it’s crazy how much what we’re thinking/doing etc can effect the show we’re listening to…

    I’ve been back and forth with parts of this for years, but this time I did em in order etc and think I’ve got a good handle now lol.
    Onto Cal X today…

    That was a great show! Nice Weather Report Suite.

    Took a break from the GOGD yesterday, and spun a few Steely Dan albums.

    Currently giving 50 another run until 51 arrives in the mail.

    Peace

    If Alpine 89 gets the treatment and I listen to it again, I might see the full light of that run.

    5 7 89 I avoided that show for a long time because my first listen back in the day had me thinking "meh". Then a few weeks ago I listened again and it was blissful.

    I haven't given up on Alpine 89...I just need to hear it again at the right time.

    Currently listening to 12 29 77

    Ja, gerne

    Wellll?
    Short version: doesn’t hang with the big boys.
    First sets good, and Box O, then as is often the case, FH is strained and ole JG has perhaps lost his edge? Flubs a bit of LLR which is not a top shelf version anyway, then Terrapin (I’m mind missing?)
    TOO is ok but nothing special, wheel gets flubbed, but then, aaahhh, lol, like I told my Other one, “watch, he can stumble half the night, but if he nails this Dew, all will be forgotten, and the poor shlub who was miserable in the rain all night…40 years later, he’ll only remember that Dew”, and so sure as your born ….lol. Man I miss Jer!
    So not a bad show, by the high standards of this tour, perhaps below the bar, certainly not RJ. Seemed like another last show of the tour, where like athletes, they just ran outta gas a bit.
    Be interesting to see how this run shakes out?
    Ok, mañana onto Cal X.
    Onward!

    Pigasus and the Daley Center - and 7/25/1974

    Good catch on that detail, Bluecrow - you are quite right about the location of the Pigasus nomination. Not sure how I got that confused with the Int'l Amp, but I'm sure it's from going down wiki rabbit holes and losing track.

    I've finally got a copy of 7/25/74, all ready for listening while I do some work tomorrow. At last! I'm excited. I had disc III of 5/14/74 still in my car's CD player when I picked up my brother yesterday. We got to our destination but we were 10 minutes early and he said, "ok, park, but don't turn this off... this is SO good." (It was the NFA->GDTRFB closer) If you do manage to track down the mystery taper for this one, I'm sure I'm not alone in saying I will eagerly be listening as you relay more details. Cheers.

    “Burgers, we don’t need no…

    stinkin burgers” lol, yep, totally transported me right there lol.
    Remember my “first”, folks older, experienced folks I was with took us to late night burrito place, used Togo late night all the time, like clockwork. That night, food? Couldn’t fathom it or why you’d want to? And the florescent lights and GIANT fish tanks almost freaked me out lol. Of course eventually I learned that food could be good too lol
    Man, just looked up, what a ride!
    Might as well travel the elegant way!

    Those were the daze my friend, we thought they’d never end…

    Music fathoms the sky......

    Hey rockers!!

    Right now? Properly sequenced 10/24/70. You know why..............

    Music and silence combine strongly because music is done with silence, and silence is full of music......

    Rock on!!!

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!
