Grateful Dead

Academy of Music, March 72. Oh myyyy this one stirs my soul

7/31/74
Not sure I’ve actually sat down with this one?
Received in a big batch of goodness from kind person here, and is sometimes the case with big scores, some shows fall through the cracks lol
Horrible problem to have: Too much Dead ; )
I’m sure it’s been on in the background etc, but finally sitting down with this one. ONWARD!
(and thanks again you know who)

7/29/74….

It's been a while

Not sure I’ve heard the complete whole before?
Had p/o on a tape BITD, and think there’s some released scraps somewhere (code for too lazy to look up ; )
Much of 74 is such, so going through this year and going complete lol
Onward!

The only acts I recorded were Orbital and Seasick Steve. I saw the first 5 minutes of Orbital's set and it reminded me of a guided meditation session.
The whole event looks very different from my sole visit to a Glastonbury festival back in 1978. An event so small it's virtually off record. Just about 500 people, I think, huddled in tents wondering if Hawkwind were going to appear. If they did, no one can remember. Including them.

I’ve been listening to Ozric Tentacles quite a lot. I think I missed them because they appeared in 1983 just as we bought a house and so didn’t have any cash because the mortgage was around 50% of our income.
Currently I’m streaming some acts from Glastonbury. The Kim Gordon set is fantastic and I also enjoyed Confidence Man. Still got more to watch.
I have a backlog of CDs to play like Mars Hotel, Garcialive 21 the latest Joni Mitchell reissue box and at least 10 others. Hope to catch up one day.

Ha!
I worked production at that show!
Grueling, but the experience of a lifetime…
