Re: 7/13/85, awesome first set! You’ll need that D roast!

And a cup of super dark roast Columbian Supremo.
Roasted the beans myself.

Summer ‘85 Box next year please Dave.

Spinning now.

Onto 7/22/84…

Going for the DHB today!
Can I make before TOO gets home 🤞

Finito bonito!

I know 3/18/71 St. Louis was included in 30 Trips, but I didn't buy that box. However, in preparation for Dave's Vol 51 I figured I ought to give it a listen. To date I have only ever heard the tail end of the show, the NFA->GDTRFB->Caution etc. So I've just had a listen to the opener (Casey Jones) and am about to get into it properly, but decided I need a sangwich and some water first. Figured I'd make this short post first.

Side note: only Caution of 1971! It would be a full year until it was again played live - at the Academy of Music in March '72. After only 5 documented performances of Caution in 1970, that must have been exciting as heck for the crowd in St. Louis to hear them launch into it.

Emotional and eerie

Soaring through Birdsong!

Not right now, but on my commute you all know----and expect---that I will be cranking Scranton this morning...........

Rock on rockers!

Woof

Great couple of discs in the new edition. Full of rustic charm. Who plays on what isn't too clear, but it all rolls along very nicely.
