    Garcia still works wonders on the guitar. His obbligato behind rhythm guitarist Bob Weir's vocal on the gun-fighter ballad, "El Paso," ranged from flamenco figures to blues lines.

Slipping around the sunny Mexican-American rhythms were the riffs and diving glissandos of a music that grew up among the chilly winds of Chicago. - Cliff Radel, Enquirer Pop Music Critic The vocals and instruments blended perfectly into one cohesive unit.

The previously unreleased complete show from the Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH 10/2/76 is all up from start to finish with xxx 70s-era first set songs like "Promised Land" and "El Paso" to Europe '72 staples and classic covers ("It's All Over Now," "Big River"), wrapped up with a unique second-set jam that opens with "Dancing In The Street" and closes with "Sugar Mag." An all-around good time! Limited to 25,000 numbered copies and shipping this week, DAVE'S PICKS VOL. 53: RIVERFRONT COLISEUM, CINCINNATI, OH 10/2/76 was recorded by Dan Healy and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. P.S. As a bonus, we have a quintet of songs from 5/4/77 (recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson), the rest of which was featured on Dave’s Picks Vol. 50 and its Bonus Disc. As we mentioned in 2012 when this series started, we’re determined to provide complete shows whenever possible. And even when a show is only partially included on a release as bonus material, we’re happy to complete it later on down the line, as we’ve done here. We hope you dig it. - David Lemieux

    David Johansen RIP

    That's sad to see. The New York Dolls were very important in England, rejuvenating rock n' roll for the punk rock tsunami to come.

    Frank Sinatra recorded "A Man Alone" - I used to hate this album, but as I grow into "The Autum of My Years", I now find this one to be the perfect "late-night" album.. BW from Copenhagen

    3/1/69 Fillmore West. "The Great High Hope"

    That's how Bill Graham introduces the Band before the start of the 2nd set, what a cool introduction! This show is a 10 out of 10 , more like 11 out of 10, what a knockout of a show! . This show and 5/2/70 are #1 and #2 for greatest Grateful Dead shows of all time!

I am a freak for The Eleven...that and Good Morning Little School Girl...have a fine weekend all...anyon catch the Dickie Betts Memorial Concert that streamed for free tonight via Nugs & YouTube? pretty good stuff

    I remember being a bit confused by it so I just listened to the music play...it's not like they were known for song introductions or such...another issue with that show is that we took people with us who had never been and we felt like tour guides or something...driving out to the Swing from the Eastside (about 60 miles or so) always seemed to take forever and then it seemed like a ten minute drive back....oh and Proudfoot, kudos for the El Monte Legion Stadium mention a couple of months back (I was snooping around)...there was an Easy Wind that I thought Phil was going to blow the back wall out of the building...and thanks for all the welcome back mentions...

Hey Now Billy!
Your mention of a Chinacat > Cumberland made me go digging.
In my wanderings, I realize you're off by a decade, it was '85 (vs. '95) they ripped that out.
Gonna give it a listen this morning.
Love these crumbs and following the trail to the cookie.

I’ll just add to 1st shows intel et el. Definitely recommend stands for bookshelves. Your tweeter/horn should be positioned at ear height! If possible, place your speakers equal distance apart with your listening spot forming an perfect triangle. Use the rule of fifths (thirds usually not practical). Experiment with distance to back wall: too close and it’ll sound to muddy/bassy, too far out and it’ll sound to thin…
Using same brand usually ensures good speaker synergy.
Can’t recall hearing the other brands (which might be telling in itself) but have heard Klipsh and liked em.
If you can’t get a trial, at least you should be able to return them if for some reason you really don’t like them.
Good Luck, may the force be with you lol

3/9/95 it was a typo. Thanks for setting me straight, lord only knows what I would do if someone didn't keep on eye on me.

...May Your Four Winds Blow You Safely Home....or something like that.
Hopefully no BlowOut though.
Good Luck to You, Sir!

Propofol means not knowing what they did to you.

in my case is that as I came "out of it," I found myself already in conversation with someone and my awareness of that lagged behind the actual conversation. Gawd only knows what I am saying before I become aware I'm talking.

Of course, check the headlines -- lots of that goin' around.

Vguy -- not only congrats on the results, but you may be the first among us to celebrate your anal probe on dead.net!! A first! Yes!

Sending smiles your way, my man. And thanks for the visuals....................

I like Jer's voice and the sound of his guitar. There's one JGB release I really love but it escapes me now as to which one. I just kind of shuffle through them and listen without committing all of the details to memory. There's a lot up there already - at age 56 I could be at capacity - so adding more new data could begin to push the old out.

And make no mistake about it, folks - this old world ain't what she used to be (sighs).

My advice to Jer would be, don't quit your day job. Some in the know have alleged that he was a live beast and just lived to be on the road, while others assert that as captain of that particular ship he got a bigger cut and needed the cash to support his habit. Probably a bit of both... on a good night it was damn good and on a bad night it was... boring.

Vguy way to keep the metal torch burning. Metal! Turn it up to 11! \m/ God I used to love metal before I got into the Good ol' Grateful Dead and became a Grateful Dad. I still stoke my metal jones occasional... it's good music to drive fast to or get ready to compete in anything, but remains a fixture of my adolescence. Pictures in my locker from Hit Parader of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC along with Cindy Crawford and various SI swimsuit models.

Ah, the eighties. Now all my favorite bands are 80. What the hell happened?

Last five:

Led Zeppelin - How the West was Won
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Aerosmith - Rocks
Eric Clapton - Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies (disc 3)
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

\m/

....yeah. i can see the attraction to it.
It was like seven or eight seconds of absolute bliss.
Danger Will Robinson.
See? I just double posted.
Time for bed.

Last Man Standing - Jerry Lee Lewis
Love It To Death - Alice Cooper
Bakersfield Sound cd3 - Various
Sun Singles Collection Vol3 cd3 - Various
Lucky Charms - Michael Messer

Last Dead Daves 16 3/28/73. Two cds of mainly high energy country rock followed by a 3rd cd with Dark Star, Eyes, and Playing. Like listening to two different bands in a way.

First time my and my friends got our hands on a full case of beer in like 8th grade, it was a case of Coors Extra Gold.
That was back when like one beverage would give you a real killer buzz; having an entire 24 of those things was like infinite heaven at the time.

Do they even make that stuff anymore or has it gone the way of Bud Dry?
So many Legends.
