Grateful Dead

(thanks Dennis!) ... wouldn't it have been great if Jerry & the boys slipped in some of Marley's "jammin" whilst doing so?! Would be just like them, actually. Along these lines, anyone heard the Raggae compilation of GD tunes called "Fire on the Mountain....."? It's alot of fun for a little changeup.......tcc

...on 1971-08-26 the Bronx of NYC;
as I found 2 old cassettes of this one over the weekend,
and to stay active on my GOGD history, revisiting this show on the archive (#32351) for today's history lesson...

Peace for All!

...y'all know what I mean, right?...I know Doc does!

Jiminmd - yes, thanks for pointing that out - 10/19/73 is of course Dicks 19 - I played 9/21/72 - number 36 immediately before it. I'm lucky enough to have both on vinyl - a surplus of great records. I haven't got to the Dark Star-MLB-Morning Dew from the 73 show yet. It's split over two sides which might not suit everyone, but I'm okay with it. More than okay!

Just got done watching a documentary on the Indigo Girls with Mrs. Grumpkins

Good show

I really enjoyed them opening for GD back in 1993 at Autzen Stadium

Very nice

Yea.. Turlock, per Wikipedia, has a population now (2024) of 72,000 people.

I'm going out a limb here, but my guess is the town does not document nor publish any sort of top 100 radio / pop song list. Bob clearly had (has) a good sense of humor or perhaps inhaled at least once in his life. Of course I could be wrong how would I know..

Turlock's a big agricultural crossroads, lot's trucks with California produce driving in, then driving out and then there are the through trucks. So Truckin', yes certainly, perhaps it's still #1 in Turlock California and the truckers cannot get enough of it. Perhaps Bobby still inhales. Who knows for sure, either way, we win.

10/19/73 is from Fairgrounds Arena - Oklahoma City, Dicks Picks 19. DiP 36 was Philly 72 (9/21 I think?), one of the other Best Eva Dickus Pickus so the two are easily confused, but alas there were so many that fall into the category best ever. Again, win / win.

10/19/73 most certainly changed my life for the betta. That mind left body, that one (and perhaps the one from Dozin' at the Knick) is (are) truly special. So good, so good. And then, just when you let your guard down the left over gnarly discord from the Dark Star crashes and melts peacefully into one of the most gorgeous Morning Dew's ever performed. Practically perfect in every way. Great, upbeat They Love Each other too.

I havent tried the new album

Their first three were in heavy rotation back in the day

Saw X at a local festival in 85, methinks

Then they played at the zoo across the street a couple to three years back and they rocked

And a few years before that

4th album took me a while to warm up to

Love X (well, the earlier stuff in particular)

"Smoke & Fiction," the evidently final album from X. And it's the best thing they've done since "Under the Big Black Sun."

I've loved those guys (and gal) since I first saw them back in 1977. They were already unbelievable then. Great to see that they managed to write an excellent batch of songs for this final record, and play with every bit as much fury as they had back in olden days.

Stay away and
don't get taken
we knew the gutter
and the future

Dave’s 2023 bonus disc (Folsom Field 9/3/72)…decided to shake up the listening by only listening to September shows this week. Truckin still #1 in Turlock

10/19/73 for me - the mighty Dicks Picks 36. One highlight you don't hear much about is Jerry's guitar solo on "They Love Each Other".
