Grateful Dead

Damn, you are RIGHT. Holy smokes, my math was bad there but it didn't even dawn on me it was off by 10 years.
That's nuts.
Think about it this way: 30 years was GD's timetable; it's BEEN almost 30 years since Spring '90

Where does the time go indeed.
Glad I don't need to take the S.A.T. ever again and thank god for excel.

Alas Sixtus, I wish it were only 19 years ago today... but I was just thinking the other day how these shows would turn 30 next year!

Oh oh what I want to know-oh where does the time go?

...thanks Dave for the feed back, gratefully appreciate it. : ) Maybe a future Daves Pick ; )
But now, I need some Pigpen!
:)
...and later this evening I’m going to sit back and play Daves Pick#5, looking forward to this, a friend gave me a copy, gratefully appreciated. ;)

Good morning Heads. Not sure if it is ok to list anything on this site, so if not, feel free to delete the post and scold me. But anyway, due to a shipping miscue on my 2019 Daves Picks subscription, I ended up buying an extra insurance copy of Daves #29 (Swing 2/26/77). Lo and behold, my subscription copy actually showed up a month later than expected. So now I have 2 copies and I dont need two copies. Id prefer the extra one goes to someone on here so Im offering it at face value + my shipping costs. Im not looking to profit from this at all. I think with taxes and shipping I paid $37 or $38 and Ill have to ship it to you, so lets call it $50 delivered and I can ship anywhere in the US. The disc is #1606 - factory sealed and unopened. I can provide my PayPal email to the first person who replies and Ill ship as soon as the funds and shipping instructions are there. Again - I dont know the rules on here so if this kind of post is frowned on - my apologies. Feel free to delete it and Ill find another avenue. I just didnt think Id ever get my subscription discs, so Im just trying to get someone a copy of this gem of a show for what I paid for it. - Cheers, Steve

As I work from home today I realize the date is March 14th which is also synonymous with the commencement of Spring Tour '90. So, what have I done, in turn? Expectedly, I put on The Landover MD show from 19 years ago today and turned it up to '11'. Cold Rain and Snow baby.

I love this tour. It is soooo reminiscent of their sound when I saw my first show in July '90 just a few months later and was fucking elated when these boxes hit. I know some have mixed feelings about the sound between each release but this matters not to my ears when they are awash in this era, and specifically this tour. Just something about the sound being so FULL and everyone paying attention to each other. It's crisp and inspired. Each time I cycle through these shows I find something magical that I hadn't before.
Such is the Good Ole GD.

Come on Tour....

by coincidence (or cosmic synchronicity) I started listening to it on my phone/YouTube this past weekend whilst doing stuff around the house.

GSET :)))
Cumberland Blues :)))

was deep into Playin' when one of the non-Deadheads of my household came downstairs.

I'll be back, 6/30/74.

Talk about a lilting version! This show was one of my first tapes back in the day, and I cherished it.

I love the encore where Jerry sings "Red and White, U.S. Blues!" with aplomb.

-edit- How the F can I remember details like that when I have trouble remembering last 5? Guess it's my short term memory that's fried, not long term?

I can’t tell you enough of how much I love this song and this version 😺😺😺😺

Tip of the hat for mentioning Miles Davis. I don't listen to him on a daily basis, but when I do listen, its almost like being in touch with a higher intelligence. I listened to ESP last night-incredible musical interaction. I've mentioned it on here before-its a great album.

Also started a fascinating book last night-"The Grateful Dead and the Art of Rock Improvisation" by David Malvinni. A lot of it is just beyond the edge of my understanding, but there is just enough within it to keep me engaged. Highly recommended.

I just got a copy of Jerry & Merl from 9-5-73 on the SS Bay Belle in NY City Harbor. Hell's Angels party.
GarciaBase updates from DeadBase 50 says this was the first time the Wolf made it's appearance. If so...that's pretty cool.
:O)
