Grateful Dead

Listening again this morning and I'm suddenly thinking about the St. Stephen encore (having a "??" moment) and sure enough, this is the first of only 2 times they played it with Keith pre-hiatus, which also means it is the penultimate performance pre-hiatus. The second and last time was 10/31/71 in Columbus (DiP2). Curious how it dropped out of the rotation right at the beginning of Keith's tenure and only making it's way back in June '76.

That HCS > China Cat > Rider is sweet!

No stereo here so getting my GD from archive

And here we are some 13 years later. A grate start to the series! Glad I got in on the ground floor.

Like I am want to say, it's been awhile, and I can forget some things. I was looking at the set list and Disc 3 is Other One > Wharf Rat > Other One > Wheel > Around??!! Damn - play that show post haste!!

np - Peggy-O - gorgeous sound . . . .

Y-33 congrats on the 30 trips!

edit/major edit/omfg the whole show but disc 3 no freaking way. Jerry is feeling it - jam out of Other one pt 1
Wharf Rat!! > jam into Other 1 part dos > The freaking "WHEEL"!!!!

Killer Around and then JGB to take it home. Amazing show . . . .

30 Trips Around the Sun which led into listening to all of the 30 Trips shows before the New Year. Gotta have goals!!

Keeping with the foots ball theme:
DaP 31 vs DaP 47!

Hey, sure as hell ain’t gonna listen to over caffeinated Jocks in love with the sound of their own voice all day!

Before I have to hit him, hope he’s got the sense to run…

That sub is the older model, so it’s discounted to get rid of the remaining inventory.
Get it while you can. The current model isn’t discounted that much.
Sounds spectacular. The vinyl siding of my house vibrates. Fortunately there’s not a house next to me on that side.

Probably more essential for me... John Hammond(Junior)'s father was an essential and incredible music source/producer, impossible to cover briefly all the music he helped bring forth, including Billie Holiday, Springsteen, Dylan, Aretha, even SRV. Jr. grew up immersed, hearing so much great stuff and being around eventually famous musicians, but he stuck with the simple acoustic blues. Dave's 54 announcement made me drag out the B&W photos I managed to make that night, stage set up looks pretty minimal, no tie dye speaker covers, short stacks, Jerry is on Alligator.
