Sorry, but I searched and searched for the original Grateful Dead thread (it rhymes!) to no avail.

He's Gone: 4/17/72 Copenhagen, Denmark
This is the first-ever live performance of He's Gone by the Grateful Dead, although you couldn't tell by the confidence of this version. You'll notice that the "Goin' where the wind don't blow so strange..." bridge is absent here, as it had not yet been incorporated into the song. It was added to the song later in the tour.
Glad you revived this one, Johnny!! It's cool to hear this tune played in it's first incarnation....
I was too young to see the GD when they were still around, but I caught the "Dead" in Greensboro for the '09 Spring tour on Easter Sunday. The gang + Warren played "He's Gone " with some serious umph and nostalgia.
In that setting/place/time/situation it was a tear jerker...in any case, I'm glad Deadheads have a place on the forum again :bath:
Glad to oblige.
Sorry you missed Jerry, but John Kadlecik from DSO did a fine job filling his shoes for the Furthur shows I saw.
Not that anyone can replace Jerry.
Same ol' rat in a drain ditch
Caught on a limb
You know better
But I know him
Like I told you

STEAL YOUR FACE
RIGHT OFF YOUR HEAD!
Love the name.....a great one to revive! Thanks JY.
Tell me about your first time. ;)
I'll go first.

Gaa! So jealous of your Furthur tickets in Hotlanta!! I mean....I'm happy for you ;) I passed up tickets because I have to be monastically studious that weekend. I got the chance to see 'em on the first tour at the Tabernacle in ATL and they lit the place up, so I'm sure they will do that and then some at the "fabulous" Fox!
I wanted to pose a question to the Deadheads who were luckier than me to see the GD live: I've read several times on the board here (JohnnYYac comes to mind) that the Jacket is one of the only bands out there whose energy and live experience compare to that which was the Dead's.
What is it that connects live Dead shows with MMJ shows? A feeling or vibe emitted the audience/the band itself etc etc...?
I'd appreciate your opinions very much, as both of these bands have been inexplicably formative in my personal development, and I'm always trying to learn more! :dankk2:
I was lucky enough to catch about 80ish GD shows, 15ish Jerry band shows, and 1 (absolutely amazing) Garcia/Grisman show. Being a GD fan, it paid to grow up Cali. Sadly, I really can't stomach Further or any of the new incarnations. My last Further experience was last September in Las Vegas. 75% of the show I found to be flat out embarrassing, 25% was really amazing. I just don't think I can do it anymore, I find myself sad and missing the magic of what really was the good ole Grateful Dead. Viva la Jerry!
I still listen to the music a ton. Especially the Sirius GD channel, love it!
I didn't see the GD until I was a senior in high school, but hit it really hard for the next several years before Jerry died in 1995.
My first show...
05-24-92 Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, Ca. (Sun)
1: Shakedown Street, Same Thing, Dire Wolf, Masterpiece, Loser, All Over Now, Foolish Heart
2: Eyes of the World> Samson and Delilah, So Many Roads, Long Way To Go Home> Corinna> Drumz> Last Time> Morning Dew E: Johnny B. Goode
I was hooked from the opening notes of Shakedown....seeing the crowd just go bezerk!
Well, I got an earlier start than walterfredo but only saw about 20 GD shows (New England dates 1984-1989, Saratoga, Buffalo, Chapel Hill NC, etc.). Also saw Jerry Band, Dylan and The (Grateful) Dead (w/Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers), The Dead w/Dylan and Robert Hunter (and Joan Osborne doing Jerry vocals), and of course Furthur. I agree the post-Jerry stuff is underwhelming, but it was still nice to return to a version of the GD vibe.
After Jerry died, my interest in music faded. I listened to A LOT of NPR, so I'd occasionally get some new music but it was mostly news/politics. Got into a few bands and shows in the late 90's and 2000s (Sugar, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Black Crows, Allman Bros., White Stripes), but it wasn't until May 2008 that my interest in music was fully reawakened by My Morning Jacket on Saturday Night Live.
Like Stan from American Dad, I immediately gobbled up their back catalog until EU came out. My first show was the best live music experience in a LONG TIME. It seems to just get better...
I can't say exactly what it is or how it connects to my being a Deadhead. Perhaps it is the collaboration of musicians, the ensemble sound, the range from soft acoustic to hard and heavy rock, the community of cool people (though very different from the Deadhead scene), the curious lyrics, the magnetism of the leader (Jim and Jerry, but for very different reasons). I don't really know.
I just know it is and it is good.
you got some serious gems at that first show Johnny. Beat it on Down the Line and Lazy Lightning>Supplication are both super rare. Nice looking setlist.
Thanks for making a new home for the Deadheads among us in this forum John! 8)
My first shows were at Richfield Colisem, Sept. 7th & 8th, 1990 and it was their first shows played after Brent's passing. I had just started my sophomore year in college. I had been a fan of the Dead since high school, but never had the chance to go see them live.
First Night's Setlist:
Cold Rain & Snow, Walkin' Blues, Ramble On Rose, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Althea, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Bird Song, Picasso Moon, U.S. Blues China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Truckin', Crazy Fingers-> Playin' In The Band-> Drums-> Jam-> I Need A Miracle-> Black Peter-> Turn On Your Love Light, E: Knockin' On Heaven's Door
I saw them several more times usually when they would swing through Buckeye Lake, Deer Creek, and Pine Knob on their summer tours.
My most epic show was my last show on June 6th 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh:
Set 1 Hell In A Bucket West L.A. Fadeaway Take Me To The River Candyman When I Paint My Masterpiece Bird Song The Promised Land Set 2 Rain Box Of Rain Samba In The Rain Looks Like Rain -> Terrapin Station -> Drums -> Space -> I Need A Miracle -> Standing On The Moon Encore Gloria
This run I bolded was something I will never forget. It was a beautiful sunny evening as they blasted through the first set. During the break, the skies began to darken and just as they ripped into the first chords of Rain to open the 2nd set, the skies let loose and the rains came down and it was just incredible. And by the time they got to Terrapin, the stars were beginning to shine again! Truly a face melting moment! :D
There is something funky about the Grateful Dead and the weather! I was at a show in Saratoga where it "looked like rain" all day. When Jerry struck the first chord of the night, clouds parted to reveal a bright, full moon that lit our way. After the final note of the encore, the clouds engulfed the moon and we headed out in darkness. Whew!

You sure it wasn't the acid? ;)
MMJ has a similar thing with Steam Engine and rain -- of course everybody knows about Thunderdome, but there was the time I saw them in Telluride. The day was mostly clear, but clouds were rolling in, and as soon as Steam Engine started, so did the rain. Naturally the rain stopped when the song did. Dylan can attest -- SPOOKY

We're taking the first steps to make a long time dream- a permanent musical home- come true. We are purchasing a building in Marin, and plan on remodeling it to feel like an old barn; we 're calling it Terrapin Landing. We will continue with Furthur while making music at Terrapin Landing when we are at home.
The music will be varied, featuring:
Phil Lesh & Friends (continuing the tradition of revolving lineups, including old as well as new friends)
West Coast Rambles, based on (and blessed by) Levon Helm's historic Rambles
Album night- we pick a favorite album or two to play live
Telstar night- we put together a band for free form improvisation
Sing-alongs to monthly Sunday morning gospel music
Trivia nights
Monthly big band night
Seminars with local musicians and artists
Our goal is to create a vibrant community gathering place: beautiful, comfortable, welcoming - for members of the community to commingle and enjoy good music.

I got to hang in the lots with my older brother's friends for a couple of summer shows at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City in the early/mid-70's. I didn't have a ticket, but RS was an open air minor league baseball stadium, so we enjoyed hearing the shows (among other things) from the lots.
I finally got to see my first show in 1981,while I was going to school in Rutland Vt. Two of my friends got us tix for the 5/5/81 show at the Glenns Falls Civic Center in Glenns Falls, N.Y. It was about an hours drive from Rutland, and my buds(who were seasoned Dead show vets) wouldn't tell me where our seats were. They knew it was my 1st show and wanted to surprise me.
We walk in and my buddy Greg says to me"stay close, we have to make our way down to the 3rd row"!! :o Bear in mind that when you enter the Civic Center you're in the last row of the lower level reserved seats. We somehow make it down through the lower level, and do the "scuse me, seats up front thing" all the way through the floor. We get to our seats and there are four people in our three seats. ??? They're like ...no problem and disappear into the mass of people on the floor. I turned to my friends with a big ass smile and told them I can't believe I'm this close. We no sooner raised a beer to say cheers and the lights went out. No more than a minute after we hit our seats. 8)
An AMAZING show, with an unreal 2nd set that blew me away. I was hooked after this, and thankfully it was the first of many more to come.
Here's the setlist:
Set 1
Feel Like A Stranger
Peggy-O
El Paso
Ramble On Rose
C.C. Rider
Brown Eyed Woman
Passenger
Althea
The Music Never Stops
Don't Ease Me In
Set 2
Scarlett Begonias
Fire On The Mountain
Estimated Prophet
Eyes Of The World
Drums
Uncle John's Band
Truckin'
Alabama Getaway
Johnny B. Goode
Encore
U.S.Blues
I went to my first show pretty late in the game....it was 6/25 and 6/26/93 at RFK stadium in DC. I had tons of deadhead friends over the years, but held out before going to my first show, and DAMN I wish I would have gotten on the funky bus sooner!
After that I attended at least 1-2 shows each time they played giants stadium and MSG. Also, seeing Jerry at Brendan Byrne on Halloween 93, which was most awesome.
My last show was June 18, 1995. It was fathers day, and I remember feeling somewhat conflicted leaving my dad hang in, but we did brunch and all.....anyway, so glad I went to that show! Will never forget the day he died. I found out on my birthday while on vacation in Jamaica. I was so depressed, and no one to share my feelings of loss with as my travel companion was more of a rob base fan :)
So, we have been to all of the different revivals of the dead....further, rat dog, Phil and friends, the dead. But at some point during each show, I would just have a sense of sadness.....like I was going there to get something That I could never get again.
Bob has been to tons and tons of shows.....I will get him up in this thread :)

My friend who works there called me very shortly after that happened. Unfortunately, she was near enough to hear the glass break.
I'd like to believe lsd wasn't involved, but I guess we can't know for sure.

This is an interesting glimpse into the state of the band immediately following Brent's untimely demise. This comes right on the heels of the highly innovative fall '90 MSG run (Hornsby's first few shows with the boyz),and directly precedes the Fall European tour.All 3 songs rehearsed find their way into the European setlists. It is too bad "Stander" was dropped from rotation after only a couple of performances.
The banter in between takes is an engaging look at the bands rehearsal process, especially in regards to the addition of 2 new members.

Garcia & Cage
December 7, 1971
Jetty's theater Music Hall, Wash,DC
Picked up something I haven't seen elsewhere.
This single sbd CD features Jerry Garcia & Buddy Cage jamming and
noodling with a few Marmaduke vocals and a Weir vocal (Seasons).
Someone (Marmaduke) picks up a bass halfway through)
Very interesting artifact, not from the vault. Session runs until reel
runs out (47:30)
Here what I have on this:
=================================
Jam Session Info
Here's the note from James that came with the show:
Now, to the other goody I sent you. Here's the story on that. A friend of
mine who does sound and production work here in St. Louis was taking slide
guitar lessons and went through the archive of open reel tapes they had
there and found the one in question. He asked to borrow it and took it home
and did a 24 bit digital transfer from the mono 7" open reel. This hasn't
been heard by many more people than Brad, myself and a few others in 30
years!!! I was pretty damn excited about the discovery and glad that I was
only the second person that had heard it counting Brad after he mastered the
tape. As far as I know at this point it's Jerry Garcia, Buddy Cage and other
members of NRPS. Other than that that's all I know right now. The Grateful
Dead's archives don't even have this tape. Pretty fun stuff to listen too
even though it's a lot of noodling and such. I kinda like it myself.
Everything was plugged straight into the open reel deck. So the source would
be:
7" mono open reel > 24 bit transfer > resample > CD-R
====================
My attempt at a setlist:
1. unknown (Garcia & Cage duet)
2. Runnin' Back To You ( G&C no vocal)
3. unknown (G&C)
4. noodle (G&C)
5. Take Me Home Country Roads (G&C Marmaduke and others on vocals)
6. jazz riff (Cage)
7. Long Black Veil (G&C McDuke on vocals)
8. Anybody Goin' To San Antone (G&C plus McDuke)
9. unknown (Jerry out? - he mentions having to get to hotel at the airport)
10. unknown
11. equipment fu
12. unknown
13. Seasons// (Weir on vocal)

Very, very sad scene last night. Some folks should not play with LSD.
My friend who works there called me very shortly after that happened. Unfortunately, she was near enough to hear the glass break.
I'd like to believe lsd wasn't involved, but I guess we can't know for sure.
Many blessings to all involved...
This was posted recently by someone who claims to be in the know.....
"You know some of you people are just straight fucking ASSHOLES! I knew Joey & he was MY friend. It's so easy 2talk shit on people u don't know because none of you have lost him. HE WASN'T ON DRUGS & HE DiDN'T DRiNK. So for everyone running they're mouth & ASSuming things..u can shut the fuck up & stop now. K? Thanxx. Joe had been thru a lot this past yr. He lost his best friend 5wks ago in a car accident, 3mos ago he lost 2aunts 4days apart & then he finds out the girl he used to be engaged too, has been taken off life support after almost 6mos of struggling. He had been going thru TONS of shit at home w.his parents [one is also very very sick] & he had the opportunity 2go 2this concert. He LOVED Furthur..seriously. All he did was listen to Furthur, never had any other cd's or anything. He was actually thinking about getting a tattoo to honor them. He had all types of shirts & hoodies made w.Furthur on them lol..he even got some of his friends into them as well. When we found out they were coming 2PGH we knew we had 2get him tickets. He was so excited & then everything in his life started going downhill. He was saving money 2get the tickets & everything. One day we went 2 a pizza shop, and uknow how they have the "Donate a dollar to save Sally's life" cups? He took out this paper bag & put it in the jar. All his money he had saved up. He didnt eat anymore, he was just walking around like a zombie. He's a diabetic & wasnt taking care of himself..and anyone who knows anything about Diabetic's, knows that when they're body starts acting up..they can do CRAZY things. A friend & I dragged him 2the dr's where he refused 2talk 2them & tell them anything. He had severe depression & wldnt even get out of bed. We got him the tickets, thinking he wld take this girl that lived a few houses down..but he didnt even care. Not even a smile. His dad tried over & over again 2get him out of bed & help him feel better but nothing worked. The night of the concert he agreed 2go 2the concert w.his dad if we stopped nagging him [we sang jingle bells for 2hrs straight]. I got a call from him a few hrs later & he thanked me & told me he loved me & appreciated everything we've done 4him. But nothing would make him alive again. He said that his soul had died & he was a walking shell. He started talking crazy then..he didnt remember who he was talking 2. I knew he was going into diabetic shock & acting crazy. He hung up on me & next thing I find out I lost one of my best friends. Joey was one of the sweetest ppl ive ever met. I lost 12ppl in the last 2yrs..and every one of them have impacted me. But losing Joey really hurt. He was my sons godfather. So b4 u sit here & talk shit on someone u know NOTHiNG about. Remember that he was someones SON, BROTHER, GODFATHER, UNCLE. Remember that HiS family & friends are MOURNiNG THE LOSS OF A LOVED ONE. Show respect. If this was your father or brother you would feel the same way!"
Very sad.

No problem. My personal favs are Jerry's banjo lesson and the gig w/ Sara.
Again, let me know if any of the dl's don't work. It's been a while since I first put 'em up.
Aw... that's some crazy events there...
To hear he was only 19 and from 10 minutes outside of my hometown in PA is kind of nuts. Grateful it isn't someone very close to me, but everyone involved has been in my thoughts and prayers all week since I first heard about it.
Nuggets thanks for the nuggets! :thumbsup:

Same here.
I'll be seeing Furthur with my daughter on Tuesday in Orlando. Been looking forward to it for a while now, but this young guys death has kind of put a damper on my enthusiasm. I know it really hasn't got anything to do with the band, and could have happened at any show this guy went to, but it's just really sad, and has me bummed out a bit.
Really hoping the power of the music Tuesday night will do it's magic on me, as it has so many times before.

I hear ya on that, I think it's up to us fans to bring as much positive juice to the scene as possible to help heal the vibe & say our prayers (or whatever we do!) while we're there as our token to the loss.
I think dancing as much as possible and smiling at all the faces is prayer in itself, and just being aware of the memory brings light to things... I might even stop a stranger, just to shake their hand
Everybody is playing, in the Heart of Gold Band (http://www.pic4ever.com/images/au.gif)

I bolded my fave'erts, and our seats were at a great area for dancing, far right as you can go! Well we kinda made that our area, but it felt great to dance it up!
The way the crowd sang along to Ramble On Rose was awesome, and I walked in just in time to catch Cold Rain & Snow startin' up 8)

yo deadheads in this deadthread. I was just browsing the archive.org and noticed the dead are on there. is there any particular time period when they were at their peak or anything? I'm going to try to download a show or 2 that are different, but know nothing about the dead outside of a handfull of songs.

I'm a big fan of anything from the 1970's. I believe that you can only stream soundboards as of a few years ago. If it's a download I think that you'll be limited to audience recordings. If you like what you hear and want to make a purchase, you can't really go wrong with any of the Dick's Picks series.

That's the equivalent of a kid in a candy store to me. ;) There's just so much out there,it's hard to pick one era over another. Depends on the mood I'm in. They were all great in their own right,imo.
Most of the time when I'm on archive I tend to listen to shows I went to. Love the flashbacks, I guess. :)
I would suggest trying a sample from different eras. Can't go wrong with almost anything from a MSG run. They always seemed to be really on top of their game at the Garden. NYE shows were always a blast and a fun listen too.
May of '77...
I'm a big advocate of november-december 1973 as well. As said earlier, you can't go wrong, but some shows are easier to ease into than others. It definitely takes a certain ear to appreciate some of the AUD's, but they're very rewarding.

They've got some sweet sweet show(s) from the late 60s with some killer Viola Lee Blues..... the quality for sure takes a minute to adjust the ears to, but once that's taken care of, holy mackerel....
Miss the days when archive was organic & free-range 8) But still glad for what they offer!! It's definitely mood dependent for me too, and sometimes song-dependent if I'm onto a certain song and I'll play 3 different versions of it in a row sometimes hahah
Wish I could say I've been to any of the shows that are posted, but at least they've been captured and my spirit can vicariously time-travel

And I hope you enjoy that site, Johnny! The guy who runs it has a real passion for AUD's, and he's led me to so many great shows on archive. Makes me wish MMJ had a devout taping community!

Here's a show you might like. Philadelphia Spectrum - 1987-03-31. It was simulcast on WMMR FM and both the Band and crowd were on fire that night.High energy show. I still get a kick out of them deciding on Feels Like A Stranger or Jack Straw to open. JS won out and right into a jumping Franklin's Tower and away we went. ;)
Jerry was smoking this night and the whole 2nd set seemed like one big segue, with hardly a break between songs.Touch Of Grey before it became huge to open 2nd set.
One of my top 5 GD shows ever, and still get fired up when I give it a listen.
There are a few recordings of it up on Archive, but this one is my favorite:
archive.org/details/gd1987-03-31.nak300.damico.89349.flac16
Tried to link it but it keeps coming up broken. ??? If I can get it,I'll post, but if not it's on archive under the details above and it's Grateful Dead 1987-03-31 by Joe D'Amico.
Here's another really fun show. This one's from MSG-1987-09-18.
Really loved the 4-pack to end the 2nd set
Goin Down The Road Feelin Bad >
All Along The Watchtower >
Morning Dew (favorite Dew I've seen live) >
Good Lovin>la bamba>Good Lovin
Well worth a listen if for nothing else than a chills giving Dew.
archive.org/details/gd1987-09-18.nak300.damico.90241.sbeok.flac16

Thanks john. I had that in my original post, and when I previewed, it was fine, but when it posted it came up with a "download".archive and to a broken link. Tried it again with the previous Philly show and the same thing. ???
I'm sure I'm messing up somewhere, but if it previews fine, and posts different, I'm at a loss as to how to fix it.
There are 2 that stand out to me amongst all the shows I went to...
3/31/1993 - Nassau Coliseum
Set I:
Cold Rain & Snow, Wang Dang Doodle, Althea, It's All Over Now, Row Jimmy, Let It Grow
Set II:
Cumberland Blues, Truckin, Lazy River Road, Playing In The Band, Uncle John's Band, Drums, Space, I Need A Miracle, Standing On The Moon, Sugar Magnolia, encore: I Fought The Law
This show holds a special place in my heart because it was my first show... And I had ingested some chemical substances prior to entering. We sat directly opposite the stage so the whole coliseum was laid out in front of me. I remember each song blending one into the other and everyone dancing like mad blending with the colors from the stage lighting and I thought I was drifting in an ocean of color listening to the greatest music ever. By the end of the show my buddy helped me back to his car, popped in a bootleg and I thought it was still the concert and was bouncing around the front seat.
Good times, good times...
9/18/1993 - MSG, NYC
Set I:
Mississippi Half Step, Little Red Rooster, Althea, Masterpiece, Brown Eyed Women, Cassidy, Loose Lucy
Set II:
Iko Iko, Victim Or The Crime, Uncle John's Band, Corinna, Drums, Space, The Wheel, All Along The Watchtower, China Doll, One More Saturday Night, encore: Gloria
Sat front row center for the first (and only) time in my life... directly under Jerry's mic. I actually wept during Half Step... got a thumbs up from Vince... and had Jerry's smiling mug in my face all night. Been to countless shows since this one... and nothing will EVER top this night for me. Miss them days...
In case y'all didn't catch it- a few Bob Weir solo dates:

Enjoying this Morning Dew from MSG-1987-09-18 to kick off my birthday. Morning Dew is one of my favorite Dead tunes and this is a great version! I would have loved to see the dead at MSG. I've seen the Dead many times, but never at MSG or out in Cali which I think either would have been epic! 8)

! :birthdays: Feliz cumpleanos :birthdays: ! And good Dew choice....some tunes fizzled in the eighties, but I've always thought that Morning Dew really developed with the Dead throughout their time playing music. I especially like 87.

It's one of mine too, :thumbsup: and I was one of the lucky ones to be there that night.I still get chills whenever I listen to this show,and I'm sure I was one of those freakin' when Jerry broke into la bamba. ;)
My favorite years are 77, 82 and 85 in that order. Its a shame the soundboards aren't out there anymore. I have to digitize my vault and post some shit when I get it out of storage. I have hundreds of soundboards most straight from dats. I will get to it eventually.

yo deadheads in this deadthread. I was just browsing the archive.org and noticed the dead are on there. is there any particular time period when they were at their peak or anything? I'm going to try to download a show or 2 that are different, but know nothing about the dead outside of a handfull of songs.
Its hard to give a short answer to your question. Try this long thread at the Wilco fansite. http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/45145-the-grateful-dead/ (http://forums.viachicago.org/topic/45145-the-grateful-dead/) You will get lots of varying opinions on what years were best.
So many Deadheads agree on May 1977 being a peak period for the Grateful Dead live, you can't go wrong with any show from that month. I also agree that Spring and Summer of 1985 were fantastic tours. 1973 and 1974 are noted for long and spacey jamming, some of which was quite jazz-fusion-y with spry playing and complex changes.
Happy 70th Birthday to Robert Hunter!

Dude, you need to let me know when you are ready to share some of these gems. I didn't get in on archive until after they took the soundboards down. While I do like the feeling of a good aud recording of being right there in the crowd, I do like me some good sbds as well!

I will get to it soon, problem is I am in NC and my vault is up in CT, I'll be going up before too long and will get it out there. Been collecting tapes since the 80s and started with these in the ninties since the DATS went into mass conversion, most from the tapers or other close, low gen sources, Im a audiofile so its almost all great stuff. I was was in a trading club of about 50 die hard tapers and traders back in the dats, had some real great access. Almost every time a DP or a road trip comes out, I have had it for years.
Will get to it this Fall.
Anyone catching a Furthur show this summer?
I'll be seeing them on 7/30 in St.Augustine, and if it's anywhere near as good as the Orlando show in April, it's going to be one helluva night! :thumbsup:
Tour starts in a few days in Bethel,N.Y.

Any of those will do. 8)
Have you ever been to Alpharetta? It's quickly climbed my list as my favorite outdoor venue. Maybe it helps that I've been lucky to be in the pit for four Phish shows,but it really is a sweet venue. Beautiful Amp, great sightlines and sound, and not real big. Holds about 12,000.
I was going to do MMJ @ Alph and Charlotte, because of how much I like the venue, but MPP/Boston ended up being easier travel wise, and on my summer budget too. ;)

I've yet to visit Alpharetta, but a friend of mine from work went to the Phish shows with his wife and loves it!! Great to hear another good opinion!! That may help sway the decision.
But stoked to see you at MPP, I'll be doing Pittsburgh/MPP with ImTheDude and his wife! AHHH CAN"T WAIT!!!
In the meantime, I'll report how Further goes, and you do the same! :D 8)

I'll be sure and give a report. The guys were in fine form, and sooo tight in April, 8) I can't wait to see them again.
Enjoy your show, and see you at MPP. :thumbsup: :beer:
I'm not sure how far you are from St. Auggie (it's an hour south of Jax), but if you can't get off work for the shows you mentioned, and want to drive down, (it's a Saturday show), I'm pretty sure I can find you a ticket.

OH MAN!!! I just looked it up on google maps, and sadly it's FURTHER *cough* than I can make.... bout a solid 8 hour hike... but man THANK YOU INFINITELY!! I really appreciate the offer/help!!
I just rolled back home from the Asheville Firely Gathering to find a response to my email from last week about taking these days off to see Further.... and I'm IN!!! She says I can have the 29th - 31st off (SCORE!!!)
So I will DEFINITELY be hitting Further, nearer! :P Can't wait!! And thank you again!!!!! :D :D :D

You're welcome,no problem, and glad you're able to get those days off. :thumbsup: I didn't know how far away you were, and figured since it's on a Saturday it might've been worth a shot.
It's definitely easier and cheaper, seeing Furthur nearer to home. ;) I get down to St. Auggie often, so if I can tie a show or two in anywhere close while I'm there, it's a nice bonus. 8) This one will be real close as it's right across the street from where I'll be. ;D

Yeah I didn't know how far that was either, but coming from Pittsburgh, 8 hours to Florida ain't bad!! So maybe sometime in the future I'll head on down!! But good look though! And let me know if you're ever around NC and maybe we can tailgate pre-show sometime! 8) Can't wait to see the boys groove out again!!
So any AllGood attendees can thank me at their own convenience........ It seems that because I did *NOT* attend AllGood this year, that apparently Warren Haynes came out with Further and did a 20 MINUTE LONG VIOLA LEE BLUES (which has been a favorite of mine for years now.....) and Dark Star put out a Help > Slip > Frank. Need I say terribly much more.
If they did these kinds of things when I used to go to AllGood, I might still attempt to go........ well maybe not, but still.
Oh great. Another update. Looks like the lucky bastards also got a China Rider > SHE CAME IN THROUGH THE EFFING BATHROOM WINDOW > TERRAPIN EFFING STATION > STANDING ON THE EFFING MOON > GDTRF EFFIN B > AND WE BID YOU GOOD F'N NIGHT.
Sorry!! Only mildly bitter to miss these things... only mildly!! WELL! We'll see about all this with the Further shows at the end of July!!!!!!
And my friend who updated me all of this has a soundboard recording of all this that he's going to send, so that helps (I guess!!!) Blasphemy though!!! :o :o :o

more than happy to share once I get it!! I'm not sure if he has it yet or is waiting for it to come in the mail, but I'll be posting about it on here as soon as it reaches my ears! And it will indeed reach yours very shortly thereafter! 8)
I was lucky enough to see another hot (in more ways than one) Furthur show last night! Nothing like an ouside show in Florida at the end of July if you like the heat.
I got treated to a real special evening, as my daughter's boyfriend was able to get the four of us VIP tix with backstage access! :thumbsup: I"ve always liked him, but he definitely scored some bonus "dad points" with me after pulling that off! ;)
Knew it was going to be a great show when we got a rousing "Jack Straw" to open, into Althea. :thumbsup: The first set was short but kick-ass. Kinda glad as the sun was still up the whole set and was really throwing some serious heat into a small, but packed pit and Amphitheatre.
1st set highlights for me were JS, Staggerlee, and Just A Little Light.
Got to catch some AC and much needed water between sets,and was ready to go. Second set was great for dancing and happy to say I got my cardio workout for the weekend done in one set. :D
2nd set opened with Cassidy > The Wheel and away we went.... Lots of highlights in the set for me. I really loved the whole thing especially Playin'> Franklin's>Playin' but the encore of Brokedown Palace was the perfect cap to a wondefrul night for me. I used to rock my daughter to sleep to BP, a perfect lullabye,imo, and to see a great version of it with her now a healthy, grown,beautiful woman, was one of those "moments" in a life for me, that I'll always appreciate and never forget.
A bit of a funny note....I'm sitting outside posting this before I head back home to Jersey, and while the band is probably already in Alpharetta for tonight's show, I get to hear Selena Gomez go through her sound check for tonight at St. Auggie! What a difference a day makes.
Here's the setlist:

WHOA NICE SETLIST!! YOU GOT A HELP SLIP FRANK SANDWICH!!! They must've been "standin' on [Franklin's] tower.... world at their command!!!" with that Playin in the Band! :P They've been playing the trifecta a lot!! Glad to see they got it out of their system last night again though, that makes me feel better about not catching tonight's show in Alpharetta!! (assuming they don't pull another one off tonight!!!) Thanks for the scoop! What an awesome ending to the show to share the Brokedown Palace with your daughter, so sweet! Right now I'm saving my monies for some Merriweather Jacket love in a couple weeks!! (I mysteriously just envisioned Jim singing "Roll away...... the deeeewwww") Hahah I wish!! : :D

With all the $$$ I spend on MMJ shows and posters, I can't justify purchasing this box, but...
Volume 2?! Sweet!
I am all over Volume 2, looks great and no repeats! I like this quote from the site: "Geez, I don't really need 22 shows on 73 discs in a box the size of a small refrigerator." Plus, I think I'm gonna need that vinyl Blues for Allah!
Artwork added ^^^
I'd take 22 shows, on a limited edition Keep On Truckin' thumb-drive. Gotta figure maybe 8-10 gigs.
This is a sweet little package. Vinyl Box Set (click image for info)

Oyyyyyyyy veyyy
I'm in Vegas for work, staying at the hard rock...furthur's playing tonight so I guess I'll check it out. Expectations=low. I did see phil Lesh in the lobby after I checked in yesterday, had a brief chat with him but didn't want to be "that guy" so I kept it brief and respected his space. Phil is the man!

I believe that show will be broadcast live on Sirius XM, their Grateful Dead channel, at 11 pm EST. All post-Jerry efforts fall short of expectations, but Kadlecik's take on Jerry's guitar work is pretty good. I hope you have a good time. There are worse things.

Nice Thread Johnny. That Vinyl Box Set looks tempting. I am going to the Greek to check out Further tomorrow night ::) I went to Further Fest a year ago and got to see Kadlecik's take on Jerry. You are right he is deft the best new take with Phil & Bob on the biggest missing link. I still wish Mickey & Bill would join the boys! Russo is awesome but I miss the thundering twosome.
I have to say that I went to JGB with Melvin Seals and Stu Allen delivers Jerry Band Jerry. Another plus for Stu is he is a Louisville Native :thumbsup: Worth a show if you haven't seen them. I miss Jerry Band more than the Dead these days... Have fun at the Vegas Show Walterfredo :beer:

I'm a fan, and have seen Furthur several times. Haven't been disappointed yet! As a matter of fact, they were pretty damn tight the last two times I saw them, and their sound is impeccable! One of the crispest, pristine sounding live shows I've seen in a while. 8) If you go in with an open mind, with the intention of having a good time, and enjoying the music for what it is, I think you'll enjoy it too, imo.
I have many friends who I went to Dead shows with who always want to compare the bands, and Furthur never measures up in their eyes. It's always ...I've seen better ( insert any Dead song), and I'm like, so have I, but that was still pretty damn good, and I'm glad these guys are still out there carrying the torch. It is what it is, and I catch a show whenever I can. I'll be seeing them in November at MSG, and in Atlantic City.
Have fun Walter,and looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the show.

I agree with you about Kadlecik, and Russo too. Like you, I miss that thundering twosome. Maybe someday we'll see them all together again...... :beer:
I'll be the first to admit my perspective is jaded. It just doesn't do it for me anymore, and admittedly I view it like your friends do Eric. I'll have fun, I'm sure I will, but it ain't the same. I actually left the Furthur set after MMJ at outsidelands a couple years back, I just couldn't do it after seeing MMJ. I think if I keep my expectations low enough it'll be ok. ;)
My idea for a Further sticker.... 'The Music Never Stopped...it just got worse'
Ok that's mean, I know it (but I still think it's funny!!)

You couldn't have summed it up better! I always hear the comparisons on my end too..... well yeah, Jerry's gone of course, and no it's not going to be the same, but they're still (one of) the pioneers of facemelting, and I'll be damned if I don't have a blast at a show! The only time I'm disappointed is when I can't make it ;)
Vegas show was fun, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The Scarlet>Fire to close the set was my personal highlight. Good stuff.
I only saw the Dead once. This thread has gotten me curious as to my show.
The show I went to was the first time they played Lucy in the Sky w Diamonds. That's all I remember!
The Dead website is pretty useless. No easy way to search for that that I can tell.

thanks John - yup, that's the date for sure. Any other comments on the setlist (me not being familiar w/ the band too much) - I went w my brother and he told me it was the first time LITSWD was played, which was a helpful fact apparently.
Apparently, after your reply, I added links to download the LMA tapings, FYI.

Shakedown Street is always a treat, was also the first song I heard them play live at my first show, and didn't hear it again until one of the last shows I saw (saw between 80-90 shows total). And Dark Star is a huge fan favorite...one that was rarely played in the last decade of the Grateful Dead. And I always loved Crazy Fingers as well as Desolation Row (Dylan cover). Other than that, somewhat standard setlist.

Have to say the latest further stuff has been really impressive. I was at MSG last year and they did the whole Terripan. I mean the whole second side of the studio cassette. Was really great.
Another highlight from recent further stuff was the Tower show last year; where they played my favorite Jerry Band tune.... Rueben and Cherise! One of my lifetime live music highlights!

Let's see...this incarnation of Phil & Friends will boast arguably one of the greatest living guitarists (Warren), one of the greatest living singer/songwriters and Dead interpreters (Jackie), one of my favorite Dead keyboardists since Keith Godchaux (Jeff), and a drum-monster who carries Furthur like he's Billy K in the single-drummer days....oh and not to mention PHIL funkin' LESH.
If only... have fun for us, Woody ;)

Dang. No way to make that one. I'll have to be content with having seen Furthur in Monterey last weekend and going to see Trigger Hippy in November. But still, dang....
I have to call out another one of my recent Further gems...
Days Between at the Mann 2 years ago. An obscure tune that I freaking Love. I had to dial up an old buddy of mine on teh cell phone and hold it up.
The show at the Greek 10/5/11 was great! I still missed two drummers on stage, Russo is awesome but after being spoiled with two it seems so mellow. Great to scream "test me test me why don't you arrest" me during Bertha. It was great to see a younger generation who most likely never got the chance to see Jerry, singing every word to every song. I was personally hoping for Looks like Rain, Box of Rain, or Cold, Rain & snow as the show was almost a wet one in LA. The first rain in many months.
Overall good show! The next night blew the roof off that... Trombone Shorty at the EL Rey.
I highly recommend him to any of you who have not seen him. A true prodigy out of New Orleans. He and his band all have to be about 25 and under and incredibly talented. The blew away the crowd and all switched out instruments on the last tune, just because they could! :thumbsup:

Gotta love that! ;D 8)
Glad you enjoyed the show. I'll be seeing them next month at MSG, and in A.C. Looking forward to getting back to NYC, and then dancin' down the Boardwalk! ;)
Hey Jen! Glad you caught some great shows!! I was at a Dark Star show a few years ago at a festival, and the darkest broodiest clouds were threatening to unload on us..... and Dark Star goes into I Know You Rider, and the vibe of the whole crowd really amped up during the March winds blowing all your troubles away, and it was like we just pushed the clouds right outta the way!!! Love weather-themed shows :)
Next up: Occupy Shakedown Street.... rebalancing the ratio of fans to wookies (should be a 100:0 for the best times) 8)
First Show:
8th Grade.
An older friend took me out to Brendon Byrne. April '83. Total sensory over-load, and then, out of space, some guy joins the boys on stage. I turned to a grizzled vetern next to me asking "who is that?" to which he replied, "well, if my eyes dont deceive me that is one Steven Stills, and I cant fucking beleive it."
Saw allot of firsts that night. What were my parents thinking?
(Note: My 2nd show was 6 months later at MSG, where they broke out St. Stephen for the first time in years - the significance of which was lost on that 14 year old me. All I knew was that the place was going nuts! Oh to go back and do those things again.)

Am I alone in thinking that MMJ's "Phone Went West" sounds like a perfect JGB song? I can just hear the Fat Man singing "Ther'll be a knock on your back door.... ther'll be a knock on your back doooooooor"......with that light reggae kinda beat reaching a crescendo.
I cant help but wonder what Jerry would have thought of MMJ.

That would be the Furthur show Stagger. ;)
I'll be there too, as well as MSG on Thursday.
The Furthur show last night was tons of fun. Knowing the size of the venues they've been playing, I was a little worried MSG would be 1/2 empty. After all these years, I should've known better! Place was packed, and really good to see them get the support they deserve,imo.
1st set was blazing hot. Pedal to the metal. A non stop get your groove on, dance your way to bliss, no holds barred, ass kicker.
The 4-pack of Ramble on Rose,Tenn.Jed>UJB>Eyes, was note perfect, and man did that take me back to many a fun show at the big building. ;) The band was tight as hell, and white hot. Loved it! Box Of Rain to close the set left me not wanting a set break.
Set 2 started out great, but was dominated in my mind by St. Stephen. An "are you kidding me", "holy shit" moment for my friends and I. The rest of the set was just icing on the cake for me after that. Although Unbroken Chain was a nice cherry on top!
Really enjoyed them having Larry Campbell join them for a good portion of the show. A 3rd guitar, and some violin in all the right places was a great touch. His wife adding some great vocals was pretty damn good too. Great pipes on the Hot Tuna - Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning. Loved it. :thumbsup:
Fire> Sunshine Daydream really closed the 2nd set out on a rockin high, and Attics for the encore, while a slower tune than I would have liked, was perfection! It was really cool to see and hear those great harmonies, with the band showing how tight they are in all phases, and on top of their game,imo.
Can't wait for Saturday night in Atlantic City!! Dancin'down the Boardwalk with an ocean breeze,feeling fine, is gonna be a blast. ;)

And to celebrate this 11/11/11 day, I'm listening to lots of versions of The Eleven, with the Live/Dead version being one of my favorites (William Tell>The Eleven is so fun!) (but I can't find a vid for that version on here)

A bit of a fun personal note from last night...my two friends that I went to the show with are big fans from way back. I was in the middle, and these two should've been on "Name That Tune" last night. These guys were on top of their game, and calling the tunes within a note or two. It was a fun competition, back and forth. Even the people around us were amazed at how spot on they were in their calls, and how quick they were. I did beat them to a couple, as for some reason they were slow to call "Ramble On Rose" and "Box Of Rain". :o Felt pretty good to be able to beat them to at least two tunes. ;D

I'd love to but I'll be with the MMJ girls in Brooklyn on Sat! Need to set up a Stone Pony bucket list trip. Can't believe I've never been there.

We'll talk at the MSG meetup about a Pony show, if one doesn't come up before then. I'll make sure you get there. :thumbsup:
I want to go see Furtur in the worst way in Columbus in a couple of weeks, but I'm not digging the fact that they are playing at Value City Arena?!

And Sticky, WTF IS THIS SITE?!? WTF!!! How does this thing exist??? This is like the Akashic records of the Grateful Dead.... I feel like I could vicariously live through the late 60s - 70s via this time capsule..... and the shit just keeps coming.... I keep scrolling, and shows just keep appearing........ whaaaaattttt......

Sorry woody. A.C. is a tough town to try and behave. ;) Definitely needed some recovery time.
Beautiful night down the shore with some friends, Furthur, and a cool ocean breeze. Doesn't get much better than that for me.
Set one had a bit of a "Without a Net" era vibe. Might've just been me, but that's the feeling I had. Sound was surprisingly a bit muddy early (tough hall), but didn't take long for it to level out, and back to the usual impeccable crispness I always come to expect from them.
A well done, but little surprise opener of Mason's, into a super sweet Cassidy (can't ever tire of this one), followed by a Brent era "Just a Little Light", and we were off to a great start.
The crowd was a little late filling in, but by this point it was pretty packed. We were pretty close, but there were people rocking out in the far reaches of the hall. Gotta say I thought it was a very energetic,fun crowd. :thumbsup:
Cold Rain and Throwing Stones seemed to really keep the energy up, and I was just thrilled with how tight the band was. Caught myself a couple times just marveling at their playing. While not the wildest ever, Hell to close was still pretty rockin', and always fun for me.
Set 2 was an off the chart, ass-kickin, fun as hell, so glad I went, hour and a half!
Viola>Bertha>Viola>Caution>Viola, was just a big rip-roaring WOW! Buckle up. ;D Help>Slipknot>Franklins nearly blew the curved roof off the place. Band was killin' it, and Boardwalk Hall was one big rocking dance party!! Bert Parks woulda been proud! ;)
Pretty blown away to get a Mountain Song. Gotta love how these guys are full of these types of surprises. The night could've ended with Dew, and I woulda been a very happy camper. One of, if not my all-time favorite Dead tune. A stellar version, with John really doing this song justice. :thumbsup: Loved it, but as always, missed the big guy like crazy during this one. He was definitely there in spirit with me, but found myself closing my eyes a couple of times, and going back. Huge ovation at the end of this tune, and smiles a plenty.
Totally dug the set closer of Rider. Nice way to follow up Dew,imo, and the hall was having some fun with the sing-along.
I thought we would get Sat. Night to close the set,so not surprised to get it in the encore. I was surprised to get a 2nd tune, and happy it was Ripple. I'm not sure how often they do a 2nd tune in the encore, but this was the 1st time in a long time I remember getting two. :beer:
Only bummer was knowing this was it for me with them until Spring. Thankful they're still out there doing their thing, and that I get to witness it, but man I wish I had another show or two. ;D C'mon Spring!!
All in all a fun time in A.C. Everyone I spoke to all hoped they come back again. Lots of hotels,bars, casinos...you name it, A.C has it, and tons of fans stayed overnight. Plenty of after parties, and some great bands playing up and down the Boardwalk. I'd review the late night happenings, but afraid the post might get modded. ;)
Sounds like a heck of a night Eric. Glad you had such a blast.
Niiiiiiiiiceee!!! Thanks for the report!! (Why behave?!?) Hahahahah sounds like you had a blast!! Man, that second set..... sheeeeewwwwww....... fire
Eric, if you don't have a copy of the soundboard and would like one, PM me your info, I'll mail yours along with Johnny's whenever it gets to me!! SO glad you got to be there!!! And allowing me a vicarious experience with your review 8)

Hey! I haven't forgotten yinz guys! Just waitin for my friend to head down to Pitt for the Phil Lesh / Warren Haynes Xmas Jam in two weeks!! He'll have a copy of that Jersey show in tow!!
I sent my assistant manager that Dead link that Sticky posted, and she's super pumped! She said she's had a really hard time finding the first show she ever went to... she said it was in Cincinnati in '76.... so I went on Archive and found a Cinci show from 10-2-76!! FIRE. I'm downloading it now, and I hope it's the one she was at!! And if so, I can't wait to see her face!!! I'm streamin' it right now..... just pure fire....

This has been a hot discussion topic of late in GD land. First some backstory-Billy played with Matt Kelly in Kingfish for a short period of time and at the Denver shows in Feb of '85 Billy was not pleased with his payment and proceeded to beat the shit out of Matt. Then while Matt was unconscious on the ground, Billy hauled off and kicked him in the nuts. This resulted in a lawsuit a couple years later. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19871108&id=IwocAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CVkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5082,1924308 (http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=861&dat=19871108&id=IwocAAAAIBAJ&sjid=CVkEAAAAIBAJ&pg=5082,1924308)
Less than a month after the Denver beatdown Matt performed with the GD at Nassau and this happened.
Check the 8:50 and 14:50 mark. :o

THAT is REALLY FUCKIN' AWFUL! That's how children behave. What brought this story back? :-\
Quote from: johnnYYac on Jan 13, 2012, 07:05 PMWhat brought this story back? :-\
Trying to figure out what happened with the lawsuit. Some one has said it was settled for 90k, but hasn't been able to back it up with public record. Supposedly to combat Matt's claim of impotency Billy hired a stripper to hit on him at a party. The stripper testified in court that they had sex. The whole thing just sounds bizarre and ugly. Granted they were all doing mountains of blow at the time, but...
It's been funny since so many fans assume they were all peace and love and don't/didn't realize just how down and dirty the scene could be back in the day. If anyone who is skilled at searching through public records can come up with some solid info, please share.

My husband is at the Terrapin Crossroads unannounced-last-minute-pseudo-opening right now. Free. Seeing a full-on Phil/jackie Greene/Tim and Nicki Bluhm/Jeff Chimenti show right now. All Dead tunes start to finish. But I can't complain, right? Saw the brilliant New Multitudes show this week!! Super fun, from the looks of it, though!!!

Thanks for making a new home for the Deadheads among us in this forum John! 8)
My first shows were at Richfield Colisem, Sept. 7th & 8th, 1990 and it was their first shows played after Brent's passing. I had just started my sophomore year in college. I had been a fan of the Dead since high school, but never had the chance to go see them live.
First Night's Setlist:
Cold Rain & Snow, Walkin' Blues, Ramble On Rose, Me & My Uncle-> Big River, Althea, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Bird Song, Picasso Moon, U.S. Blues China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider, Truckin', Crazy Fingers-> Playin' In The Band-> Drums-> Jam-> I Need A Miracle-> Black Peter-> Turn On Your Love Light, E: Knockin' On Heaven's Door
I saw them several more times usually when they would swing through Buckeye Lake, Deer Creek, and Pine Knob on their summer tours.
My most epic show was my last show on June 6th 1995 at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh:
Set 1 Hell In A Bucket West L.A. Fadeaway Take Me To The River Candyman When I Paint My Masterpiece Bird Song The Promised Land Set 2 Rain Box Of Rain Samba In The Rain Looks Like Rain -> Terrapin Station -> Drums -> Space -> I Need A Miracle -> Standing On The Moon Encore Gloria
This run I bolded was something I will never forget. It was a beautiful sunny evening as they blasted through the first set. During the break, the skies began to darken and just as they ripped into the first chords of Rain to open the 2nd set, the skies let loose and the rains came down and it was just incredible. And by the time they got to Terrapin, the stars were beginning to shine again! Truly a face melting moment! :D
First off, I was at those Richfield shows, too and it was weird. Very weird. Even weirder is the RAIN set at Three Rivers. It was one of those Dead-control-the-weather moments. They happen. This was something I will never forget!
My first show was the second night of Hampton '87 and my last was the Chicago '95 last show. I think I saw 153 shows in that span of time. Or at least that's how I've pieced it together!! :) I quit my job to go on the entire Dead tour that last summer. I was summoned before it was too late!!!! Now I just trawl around MMJ message boards and look for MMJ vids on youtube. Not. Obsessive. At. All.
I caught the Terrapin Crossroads show last night. It was fun! Phil and Grahame, Mark Karan, Jeff Pherson and another guitar player and drummer I didn't know.

And I hear ya about the whole obsession with MMJ. As I've said, I never thought a band could fill the void left when Jerry died, but MMJ certainly has done that for me! :)

Listening to Veneta, Oregon 8-27-72 on archive.org. I forgot how freakin' KILLER this show is! Incredible Playing In The Band and Dark Star, excellent China Cat>Rider and Bird Song and lots of others. What a great lethargic, lysergic, languid jamming show!

Cool, Fully, thanks, I hadn't heard about that. I was at the Alpine Valley '89 run, and it would be fun to relive it in a theater.
The press release says that the following night to the one being shown in theaters on 4/19/12 (7/18/89) was previously released, but that isn't true. The prior night (7/17/89) was released on the DVD "Downhill from Here", though that DVD does have the second half of the first set of 7/19/89.
Has anyone seen that Downhill from Here DVD? Of the roughly 125 Grateful Dead shows I saw, that 7/17/89 Alpine Valley show would probably be in my top 5. The second set of that show is just magic, and the DVD captures a great moment, the uncontrollable grin on Jerry's face as he is singing his "I wish I was a headlight..." line in I Know You Rider for the second time with the band just thundering behind him.
I have the Downhill from Here DVD and it's great.Prolly going to the theatre to see this concert.
Surprised to see my tiny mecca of Wooster, OH making the list of theaters showing this! :thumbsup: I'm going to be attending this one! Thanks for the heads up fully! :beer:

Bob Weir Webcast in March With Members of The National (http://www.jambase.com/Articles/90124/Bob-Weir-Webcast-in-March-With-Members-of-The-National)
Looks like the Devendorf brothers (drummer and bass player for The National) are going to be teaming up with some other Brooklyn musicians to play both Dead and National songs as well as some other covers with Weir.
My company is doing the merch for that show, and I will be there ;) I will report back and let y'all know how it was!
The Bridge Session webcast of Bob Weir and members of The National will stream live tomorrow at 9PM ET/6PM PT.
http://www.TRIStudios.com (http://www.tristudios.com) and on Yahoo! Music
I FINALLY listened to some official live albums and have to say not only am I an instant dead fan, I think I may start listening to jam bands altogether
Thought I should share the merch link, if any of you are so inclined. It supports a great cause! And the poster is phenomenal! Gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than it is.

Ewind - I figure you know this if I read this post correctly but I'd definitely differentiate the Dead from "Jam Bands." The Dead are the Holy Grail whereas I find many modern "Jam Bands" to be generic and somewhat (soul)less. Then again I love the most soulful band in the history of music so :-\

Here's a little Jerry/Crosby combo.... they ran a whole gamut of Walking in the Mountains demos... and I've probably gone on too much already about that whole thing being the inspiration for Furthur's "Mountain Song," but here's one of my favorite of the demos;

I'm just going to say this, as both a Zeppelin fan and a Deadhead, I think I may like Jerry's slow hand, echoed-blues version of "Nobody's Fault But Mine" better than the stadium
rock Zeppelin version...but I guess it depends on the day...

It was pretty darn fun! My inner Deadhead was out in full force.
I got into the Grateful Dead full-force right after having seen them live on Tuesday, June 15, 1993 at Freedom Hall in Louisville, Kentucky (much like I got into MMJ after seeing them live in Louisville). I had listened to some of their stuff and even had The Best of the Grateful Dead: Skeletons From The Closet. However, I didn't really connect with them until my one and only live show experience. Since that time, I have collected a lot of their stuff. I guess I love them, like I do My Morning Jacket, because you know they are doing it for the sake of making music and for the sake of the fans. They knew how important it was to give it a great effort every time they stepped out onto the stage. The fans were there for them, and they were there for the fans. It has to be as simple as that.
How is the Mickey Hart Band? They're playing not too far away from me next Friday and I've never seen the band.

Yes! I just started looking for The Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers together on YouTube and found these couple of songs from 1970. I had downloaded a part of a show from around this same time from the old GDLive Internet site about 12 or 13 years ago. It was free then and had all kinds of great recordings available. I had a very slow computer then, so I had to run it day and night to get the concerts (and individual songs) that I could downloaded. (This was also during the time Napster was about to be shut down.)

So a few months back I got the mythical "hard drive" in my possession (nearly every live recording of the Grateful Dead ever made) from a dear friend in Marin. At the time I was in need of a computer and speaker upgrade so I haven't delved into it very deeply yet. But I got a new Mac yesterday and am going to hook it up today.
Oh oh what I want to know....
What are some of your most favorite shows? Give me some gems to hunt down on this 1TB of GD love.

Oh, that's a loaded question! Where to start, where to start?
Try anything from May '77 (New Haven, Boston, Cornell, Buffalo)
April '78 (14th- 24th)
Fall 79 is killer (New Haven, Cape Cod, Nassau).
Summer 85 is excellent 6-27-85, 6-28-85, 6-30-85
People love Spring '90, too.
MSG NYC Fall 90 when Hornsby first joined is great, too. 9-19-90 and 9-20-90!!!!
Berkeley July 84
Santa Fe 83
Venetta Oregon summer 72 is epic
Fillmore East Feb '70
Just off the top of my head. Have fun!
How did y'all like that Dark Star>Morning Dew>Dark Star>Terrapin last night? Pretty sweet!
Thanks Shug, I know some of those shows and yes they are mighty fine. Shit, I think I may have that Veneta show on DVD somewhere...I think Kory may have hooked me up with it ages ago. I am a huge fan of the 77-78 shows as well as the late 80's. I was doing shows from 90-95, and am trying to remember some awesome gems from those years as I know I saw some great kickdowns. Since I was on tour though, my memory is so hazy, lol (ahhhh...the good old daze).
I really steered away from the Dead after Jerry died. Just.too.painful. MMJ was the first band who connected with me on that level and it was a god-send when I got turned onto Chocolate and Ice many, many, many years ago. I've been mainly on the MMJ tip and completely lost my dead show repertoire over the years. So please, all you fellow GDF, share some dates with me! And if I discover something magical, I will share it with y'all.
When you get a chance check out 3/31/87. A helluva night at the Philly Spectrum. The last of a three night Spring Spectrum run, and man were they on fire. The intensity, and pace of the second set still blows me away. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Sounds like you know your Dead pretty well, so beginner recs are not what you are looking for, but more the lesser known gems? OK, I got ya. I'm in the same boat, trying to find stuff that I don't know about even though I have well over 150 shows on analog cassette from the old days.
Here's a guy from Dead.net with some recs from '83. Sounds like he's listened to that year rather thoroughly!
shout-out to 6/18/83
I just had one of THOSE moments with this show's Fire, Playin'.
10 shows from one GD83 tour? I can't do THAT, but I can suggest:
5/13/83
5/14/83
5/15/83
6/18/83
6/20/83
9/10/83
9/11/83
10/11/83
10/14/83
10/15/83
Of these, MUST-HAVES are 6/18, 6/20, 9/10, 10/11, and 10/15.

Wizzard are u on fb? I can add you to this group X factor productions. I can add u too shug if u want. Some serious hardcore old school heads who really know their stuff. Always talking about nugget shows from over the years.
I, too,was a pretty serious deadhead who has lost her dead mojo. I go to some of the terrapin crossroads shows and I've seen bits and pieces of the incarnations over the years, but it almost seems like a nostalgia band to me at this point.
I do feel the same way about MMJ now as I did about he dead then. If I wasn't almost 45 with 2 kids a husband and a dog I would probably be at 20 shows a year, which was probably my average when the dead were around. Lets see... 153 shows from 87-95. So not quite 20 a year. But close!!
I never went on tour until summer 95. Something told me to quit my job and go. So with no money no job no nothing I drove with my friend from SF to highgate and did the entire summer tour. Except for the first night of RFK...we detoured to see Phish at Waterloo that night. The shows were horrid (well some were ok) but of course I was so happy to have made that decision to go. It was so weird for me when Jerry died. I was planning on going on fall tour and was just crushed. I can't even imagine what would have happened if I went on that tour. I am sure his death made a lot of people focus and get their shit together, it certainly did for me.
But I really do feel like MMJ fill that dead void for me. I did the WSP thing and the Phish thing and really loved them both. Obsessively. But now I find myself bored, more than anything, with all of the above. And MMJ is never boring. It's like magic to me. Always beautiful and exciting. It's an obsession but its pleasing!
Yeah, I'll probably tune into the Furthur stream tonight :). I certainly wasn't going to pay $150 for that nonsense. Especially after seeing Furthur for $25 all around Marin when they first started playing.
Later deadheads. Thanks for listening! (~);}
Oh yah and I have a friend who is basically a Dead encyclopedia and he will know what shows you should download. I will present his findings when I have them.
Thanks y'all! This is exactly what I wanted :happy:
I didn't tour the full 5 years, that was just from beginning to end. I was on tour, full on from 93-94. Crazy times and the lot and the kids on it was no longer as innocent as it was in 90-92. Left in 94 to cool my guns and chill out in the woods here in the NW. My last show was Portland 95. Didn't live here at the time, but it makes sense that it all ended here for me. I was waiting on some Jerry SoCal shows that were supposed to happen and was in LA when I found out Jerry died. I will never forget that day :cry:
I've actually forgot my show count, up over 100 with some really fucking awesome Jerry Shows in there too. I feel so blessed that I got to see Jerry at the Warfield multiple times. That place was like home and crazy electric.
I'm with you Z., if I was in my twenties I would be all over a full on MMJ tour, no question! It is the same giddiness and thrill and emotions with a totally new vibe that has nothing to do with the GD sound. It's the energy, the love that is in common for me. It's so goddamn special and so fucking rare. All my friends are huge Phish phiends, many heady pham or so I am told :grin:. I have seen some groovy Phish shows and have danced my ass off on many occasions. But it just doesn't do it for me like it does for my friends. Never filled the void for me like it did for other friends I have from Dead tour. I've gone to a few Furthur, Phil, Terrapin CR stuff over the years. But it's only to go find friends and have family reunions. The songs are great and I have friends who can still really go there and spin and have moments with those songs. I can't really, but I appreciate that the magic and love is still there for many. And I always run into some old fool who I love so much that hasn't crossed my way in decades. Gotta love that! But these days I am just a fool for MMJ and the magic, love-circle that forms at a show between them on stage and us in the audience. It moves my soul.
I am currently spinning Stanford 2/9/73 based off of a suggestion on heady versions.com, thanks Shug!! I have this friend in town who is an old taper, it's a bitch and a half getting him to convert dats these days, so this harddrive is a true blessing!

Oh that's funny!
Sure, zanjam, invite me to that group on fb. I can always use more recs for good shows.
Liz, not sure how much of that stuff I mentioned you know, but to be a bit more specific and focusing on the ones that not everybody knows about, I'd suggest
4-24-78 Normal, IL killer Scarlet>Fire! Music, Black Peter
4-21-78 Lexington, KY All Over Now, Music, Stella Blue!
4-14-78 Blacksburg, VA Peggy-O! Black Peter!
I was never much of a 78 fan until I heard the April shows, they were on fire, truly.
10-25-79 New Haven, CT SHAKEDOWN!!! (my fave ever), Passenger
11-01-79 Nassau massive long and weird transition from Scarlet>Fire with really funky Brent electronic keys
10-28-79 Dancin'>Franklins is 30 min long, totally well-jammed funky disco version of Dancin.
9-10-83 Santa Fe Music, Cumberland, Cold Rain encore! Phil sings again
9-11-83 Santa Fe the whole second set is awesome
10-12-83 MSG, NYC insane Cumberland Blues
10-15-83 Hartford, CT Big Railroad Blues (Jerr just won't quit!)
10-17-83 Lake Placid, NY best Sugaree of the 80s?
7-15-84 Berkely, CA Dancin>Bird Song opener!
10-12-84 Augusta Maine Morning Dew
12-31-84 killer first set, excellent Shakedown, Jack Straw>Bird Song! Spanish jam out of space, too.
As others mentioned, '87 was pretty strong
3-26-87 Hartford China>Rider, Bird Song
9-18-87 Morning Dew
9-24-87 Hell In A Bucket
I could go on and on. Please let us know what you discover (and... :rolleyes: ...if you have on that hard drive clean SBDs of any of this stuff, some of it I don't have, have to stream from archive) :beer: :thumbsup:

MSG 9-18-87 A Friday Night: Awesome Sugaree, Candyman, Shakedown, Terrapin, Morning Dew best ever!
Agreed, and I was lucky enough to be there. :smiley: No question, the best Dew I ever saw, and glad to know so many others think so highly of it too. :cool:
I am a newbie to this thread (and really, to this message board) but I am a longtime Dead fan. I saw my first show in 1987 when they played the amphitheatre at Canada's Wonderland. I had been listening to them for a few years by then, but was too young to go and see them. I finally got the chance in 87 when I was 15 and was hooked.
I saw the Grateful Dead 23 times between 87 and 1992. I also had the chance to see JGB twice, Weir and Wasserman once was completely obsessed with the Dead for most of that time. Like to the point where I can still recite setlists of show because I memorized my Deadbase in highschool instead of actually doing school work.
I think the best two shows I saw were 7/4/89 Rich Stadium, Buffalo NY and 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum, Hamilton ON. The first one was released officially as "Truckin Up To Buffalo" on DVD and CD, while the "Scarlet/Fire from 3/22/90 was part of the So Many Roads boxed set, with the entire show finally seeing release earlier this year as part of the "Spring 90" boxed set.
Both shows were just incredible for me. So many memories come flooding back just thinking about them both.
7/3/89
Bertha, Greatest Story Ever Told, Cold Rain & Snow, Walkin' Blues, Row Jimmy, When I Paint My Masterpiece, Stagger Lee, Looks Like Rain, Deal Touch Of Gray, Women Are Smarter, Ship of Fools-> Playin' In The Band Reprise-> Terrapin Station-> Drums-> Jam-> I Will Take You Home-> All Along The Watchtower-> Morning Dew-> Not Fade Away, E: U.S. Blues
A rare Looks Like Rain, a great Deal, an absolutely perfect version of Touch of Grey, a very cool Playin' reprise (finishing the song from Foxboro 2 nights before) but the real meat of the show was a great Morning Dew > Not Fade Away.
3/22/90
Feel Like A Stranger, West L.A. Fadeaway, Easy To Love You, Beat It On Down The Line, It Must Have Been The Roses, The Last Time, Picasso Moon, Don't Ease Me In Scarlet Begonias-> Fire On The Mountain, Samson & Delilah, Believe It Or Not, Truckin'-> Jam-> Drums-> Jam-> The Other One-> Hey Jude*-> Dear Mr. Fantasy-> Hey Jude Reprise-> Sugar Magnolia, E: It's All Over Now Baby Blue
Lots of cool stuff at this show - an Easy to Love You, an (even rarer) Believe it Or Not, a great Must Have Been the Roses and that Scarlet/Fire to start the second set was magic. I was fifth row for the second set and it just blew my mind. I loved the Hey Jude>Dear Mr Fantasy>Hey Jude>Sugar Magnolia. It was even mindblowing to me that the Dead were playing 45 minutes from my parents' house for two nights. I had only seen one non-summer show before this one, and I got to go to school and make it in time for these ones. How cool is that? Incidentally, some 23 years later we live about 5 blocks from this arena...
I stopped going to see the Dead after being continuously disappointed with shows after Brent Mydland died. I hated the Richfield Coliseum shows in Sept 90 and after they played another two nights at Copps Coliseum in 1992 I stopped going altogether. When Jerry died I stopped listening altogether until 1999/2000 when Leanne got me playing on her co-ed softball team which had some deadheads on it. I got really into Phil Lesh and Friends and saw them 7 times between 1999 and 2003, then saw The Dead in 2003/04 a few times, but haven't seen any since.
I watched two nights of the Furthur web broadcasts last week and am surprised how much I dug them. I need to see the other two nights too.
Hi alienlanes,
I know what you mean about the shows after Brent died. I LOOOVVVED when Bruce Hornsby played with them but nothing against the man, I could not really enjoy Vince's keys or singing. Some of that, I later learned, was because Jerry and Bob Bralove choose to just have Vince play computerized samples of keyboard sounds instead of hauling around a real Hammond, Rhodes, etc, like Brent did. I think Vinnie may have sounded better if they had let him play real keyboards. I did not like his singing at all. Weren't those Richfield '90 shows Vince only, no Hornsby? You really should listen to 9-20-90, it is fucking incredible the deep space chaos they get into, sounds like we are back in 1973! They released the 2nd set as a Road Trips, so its available in pristine sound. The first set smokes, too, too bad they didn't release that.
What I would not have given to have just Hornsby in the Dead after Brent. It was kinda too dense with two keyboards, (although that has been done to fantastic effect on lots of classic soul and roots rock studio records). Bruce is a piano virtuoso and his jazz improv chops and his deep knowledge of American roots music made him Jerry's peer in my book. That dude can jam!
Also in retrospect, I think that Brent dying was somewhat of the beginning of the end for Jerry losing his spark and zest. Just a hunch on my part. He did get a big boost for about a year or so when Hornsby was playing with them regularly, one could easily see and hear Hornsby and Jerry at times having that thing of musicians connecting without words in a mutual appreciation society, urging each other to play better. I saw excellent post-Brent shows in 1990 and 1991 (Compton Terrace Dec 90!!!! Halloween run 1991) but they got further and further apart in 92-95.
I stopped listening to Dead tapes for many years, too, but got back into it in the past few and it sounds fresh again to me, especially when you sift through the chaff to the primo good stuff, there are so many great great shows out there, reminds me all over again why, on some level, the Dead are my favorite rock band of all time.
I agree with both of you, Shug and alienlanes, about how much things went downhill after Brent died. It is really sad as the '89 to summer '90 was such a relative peak for the Dead. The energy at those shows was incredible.
Not sure if this show has been mentioned, but the "Downhill From Here" DVD is of one of the great Alpine Valley shows in 1989. The first set is a mix of two shows, but the second set is of the first night, which was one of my favorite shows I attended. Just watch Jerry grin from ear to ear on the DVD as he sings the "Wish I was a headlight..." verse of I Know You Rider.
Like alienlanes, I also stopped going to shows in the Vince era as I felt increasingly let down. It wasn't just that I didn't care for Vince much, it was also that you could really see Jerry going downhill, hiding on stage rather then being in the forefront playing, etc.
Shug, it's funny how many of the same shows we were at, when I hear you mention things like Compton Terrace and the Halloween run in 91. Wish I had known you then.
Yeah, just think, we coulda been friends for the past 25 years if we had met back then, weird! How many of the same shows were we at? Richard Thompson at the Fillmore in '88, Slims, Santa Rosa, all those Dead shows and who knows what else? Did you ever go see the Mother Hips? They used to play Slims and the Last Day Saloon a lot. Great American Music Hall, too.

Yes, I was at all the Thompson shows you mentioned. Fillmore '88 was my first time seeing him. Also pretty much every west cost dead show from the time I started college at UC Berkeley in the fall of 88 until I stopped going to shows regularly in the Vince period.
I think I saw the Mother Hips once, wasn't a fan.
I was thinking about this late last night and you know, I have always felt kinda bad for Vince Welnick. From what I have been led to understand over the years, he was the second choice to replace Brent Mydland. I remember reading they were ready to bring in David Freiburg, who of course had been in Quicksilver and Jefferson Starship, but that Vince was picked because of his vocal harmonies and that it was a really rushed decision.
For me, he just didn't seen to click. I mean he definitely is a decent musician, but I still feel that (Hornsby aside) Mydland was the most versatile keyboard player the Dead ever had despite his many personal and drug related problems.

When you get a chance check out 3/31/87. A helluva night at the Philly Spectrum. The last of a three night Spring Spectrum run, and man were they on fire. The intensity, and pace of the second set still blows me away. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I'm listening to this right now, eric. That's a fucking spry Franklin's Tower and I usually don't like that song that much because it can be plodding if Jerry isn't killing it. On this version, he is!

Yeah, it seemed like Vince was a really rushed decision based on them not wanting to have to cancel the Europe 1990 tour, and thus needing to get a very quick replacement.
He is a good musician, but his little keyboard just sounded so empty compared to Brent's setup with the electric piano and organ.
We used to laugh at deadheads in the early 90's as you could practically make a drinking game out of people uttering the phrase "I think Vince is really coming into his own."
I feel sorry for him, too, as he had very tough shoes to fill and ultimately wasn't the right person for it. The way I view the band once Vince stepped in is that I sort of stopped appreciating them at the level of the full band and listening to the whole package. After Vince, I started just focusing on Bob, Jerry, and Phil instead of focusing on the whole band.

Youuuuuu better roll away.... :cool: :thumbsup: Hope you like the rest of the show,and glad you're giving it a listen. :beer:
Jerry was killing it all night. They all were actually, one helluva show, and one that always sticks out in my memory bank. I believe it was also simulcast on WMMR FM in Philly. I know one of the three nights was, and pretty sure it was this night.
I'm not a fan of many things "Philly" but it is a great rock and roll town. Gotta give the crowds there their props, and in turn most bands always seem to really bring it there as well. The Dead were no exception to that. Saw many a hot show there, and we didn't miss too many. :wink:
Yeah, the whole show is ripping, thanks for the suggestion, eric! I've also been listening to two nights in Hartford, CT earlier in the week, 3-26-87 and 3-27-87, both of those shows are on fire, too. I have a whole new appreciation for Spring 1987 now, thanks!!!
Jesus Christ and Holy Shit, this has got to be the best Touch of Grey ever! Just listen to the East Coast crowd ROAR at the "we will survive" parts!

Yeah I decided to buy this. It looks like DP4 is coming out on vinyl next month and of course it will be a fortune.
This inspired me to dig around in my vinyl tonight and I retrieved my Europe '72 purchased when it first came out - one of my favorites spun many times in the day. I bought the cd a while back so neglected my vinyl version for too long. Looks in great condition with the original booklet. I'll be spinning it this weekend for the first time in a long time.
Thanks, John, for bringing this back into play.

Just finished listening to my old vinyl copy of Europe '72. I had almost forgotten how good this album is. It is quite a workout juggling all 6 sides; heck, I need the exercise :tongue: :grin:
I was looking through the picture booklet that's still in great shape and at the end it had two coupons - one for a "fully illustrated" Grateful Dead songbook for Workingman's Dead and American Beauty AND the other for Grateful Dead t-shirts.
The special songbook offer expired Dec. 31, 1972 but there is no expiration date on the t-shirt coupon. They are $3.95 plus 30 cents for handling (Cash, Check or Money Order). Maybe I should put in an order.

Uh oh. Something's up with Bob. Sounded really off, then apparently collapsed/fell on stage at the Cap Theater tonight. Mid 2nd set. Phil said he strained his shoulder earlier in the day, and doctor loaded him up on pain meds. :huh:
They helped him off the stage,and looks like the band will finish the show without him.
Godspeed Bob,and hope he's all good for their show in AC on Saturday. I've got a bunch of friends going,and would be there myself if JJ wasn't playing in Philly.

This is one of the best Dead shows ever, IMO. I'm stoked and I hope it means it will come out on Blu Ray/DVD
For Sirius listeners, if you're using the internet to listen to the Dead channel, in the upper right is a little button called something like "My Dead". If you click on it, you can customize your Dead listening to era, coast (wtf?) and short or long jams.

My friend from my U.S. Navy days (the only one I kept up with and hung out with after 1993 when I got out) got to see this very show. He was so glad to have been there. We used to meet up in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois to go camping and hang out quite a bit in the mid to late 1990's. I still remember very vividly the camping trip we met up for a couple of days after Jerry died. My friend brought the cover page of a newspaper that detailed Jerry's death, and we tacked it up to a tree and had many dedications and toasts to Jerry's memory that day. (My friend died earlier this year at the age of 45. I miss you, Colley Kitson.)
Here is a video of So Many Roads somebody synced up to the official release of the song on the box set - So Many Roads 1965 to 1995.

Thanks for the remembrances, Eric and Mr. White.
As and avid camper/canoe-camper, John, I can appreciate your story of celebrating Jerry in the woods but so sorry to hear of your friend's passing at such an early age. The loss of good friends like that leaves a big void.
Nice post Eric.
What's amazing is the double encore, two songs about, well you know. I miss Jerry dearly. Had some of the greatest times of my life following the Dead. First show was in 1977.
Loved hearing Weir with MMJ doing IKYR. My two favorite bands.

Thanks. A sad thing to remember, but it needed to be noted,IMO.
I totally agree with your post too. Double encore was rare, and for it to be those two is almost a bit poetic in their foreshadowing. I too miss the big fella dearly, and had some great times, and lifelong memories following the Dead. :cool: :beer:
So thankful to have experienced that, and to have Jerry, and the guys be a part of the soundtrack to my life.
Another milestone coming up in a few weeks as Jerry would've turned 71 on 8/1. I know what I'll be doing that day. :beer:
Hey Eric, just curious, how many Dead shows would you say you've been to?

Me too! I wish I could have seen Bobby up there on stage with the boys! Talk about magical! :beer:
It took me a while to find a band that filled the void left after Jerry passed and MMJ were just that band to do that for me. MMJ are my favorite band currently still playing but the Dead are still my all-time favorite band and, as the immortal words of Looks Like Rain say, "...that's not going to change." :cool:
I didn't get in on following the Dead until my high school days in the late 80's but I still caught some memorable shows before the scene and Jerry's health started deteriorating which I will cherish forever!

Sidenote to this is that Jerry was taken from us on August 9. That was a sad day and I remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the news.
On a better note my son was born on August 9, so I do have something wonderful to celebrate!l

Not as many as some here I'm sure. I was fortunate to get to hangout in some lots in the mid to late 70's and take the scene in, but it wasn't until 1981 that I saw my first show. Like MMJ did to me years later, I was hooked! I never really counted or kept stubs, but I'd say probably about 35-40. Pretty much all of them East Coast shows and none further west than Pittsbirgh.
Very fortunate,and thankful to have seen that many, but unfortunately I never got to see The Jerry Garcia Band. Somehow the stars just never aligned for me on that, and I've always been a bit bummed about missing those shows. Can't catch them all I know, and I don't dwell on what I missed, but I definitely enjoy the memories of the ones I was lucky enough to see.

Thanks for the remembrances, Eric and Mr. White.
As and avid camper/canoe-camper, John, I can appreciate your story of celebrating Jerry in the woods but so sorry to hear of your friend's passing at such an early age. The loss of good friends like that leaves a big void.
Thanks. We used to party pretty hard back in those days, and the right music in the right setting with the right atmospherics was vital to our bonding and enjoyment of the moment. Our trips to the forest were a real trip, if you know what I mean. Colley was all about the trip and the journey to get there.

That's great, sounds like good times indeed. I wish I could have experienced at least one.
I'm 33 and the vast majority of my friends grew up obsessively collecting/trading/listening to Dead tapes but only one of them actually got to see The Grateful Dead. Jerry died when we were 14-15 years old. Some of those guys still consider GD their favorite band and give me shit about MMJ. I like to give them shit back about the fact that they've never even seen their favorite band live. A couple of them are finally coming around to them and the Bobby sit ins have helped. I have no point to make here, just thought I'd share.

I had some friends who were OCD Dead Heads who couldn't comprehend listening to any other music other than the Dead and would always give me shit for my interest in music outside of the Grateful Dead. :cheesy:
They have mellowed some on their OCD in that regard, but I'm always humored when I think about how it was almost a mortal sin to allow your ears to hear anything other than the Dead back in the day... :grin:
Did anyone else see the article in Rolling Stone about the new '77 box set?
There is a quote in that article from Bobby saying that he thought the late 80's were the best period of the band. I thought that was really interesting as I had never heard anyone, let alone a member of the band, say that.
'89 up until Brent's death in '90 was definitely the peak of the years I got to see them ('86 to '95) but I never would have thought of it as their absolute peak. The energy of those shows was amazing though, and Jerry was so engaged and sharp in that time.

Many of my Deadhead friends have always felt this way. Personally, if Brent isn't on the keys, it isn't the Dead for me. I understand people who feel this way about Pigpen too, but for me, I enjoy Brent's vocals and playing way more than anyone else. And I've always felt that era is the most musically inspired.
I'll listen to some other eras occasionally, but definitely never throw in anything that includes the wailing screeching of Donna that's for sure.
I cherish the memories from my two Dead shows. One was '94 (maybe '95 with Traffic opening at RFK stadium) and the other in '95 (Dave Matthews Band opening in Vegas). Being a big music fan but not much a GD fan, I still really wanted to see them to experience the show and atmosphere. Both experiences were very memorable and special..... the concerts, the parking lots, the people..... nothing will be like that again.
Watching So Many Roads above and reading the posts that its been 18 years since Jerry died made me sad.

I read the article. I agree that the Brent years were fantastic, but IMHO can not even come close to holding a candle to '77 or '74. Not. In. The. Same. League!!
I love reminiscing about Dead Days. By some cosmic serendipitous intervention, I decided quit my job to go on summer tour in '95. Who knew it would be the last? Certainly not me. I had been to strings of shows, but never an entire tour. I went to every show that tour, except for the second RFK show. I was at Phish at Waterloo -- also awesome! So when I lament about not being able to go to OBH, I remind myself just how good I had it at one point in time! :wink:
While I had the time of my life, the energy on that tour was really weird. I was one of the first people into Highgate and I was on the rail (seems some things never change.) By the time all 100,000 people got in there, the front was squished to the stage and people had to be pulled out of the crowd, me included. Then there was the cancelled Deer Creek show, where I watched Heavenly Creatures at the hotel on pills with a bunch of other pissed off Deadheads. And I'm vaguely remembering something about a deck that fell during one of the St. Louis shows, and people may have died?
I do however, vividly remember calling my brother from a pay phone during the
China Cat Sunflower ->
I Know You Rider
It's All Too Much
Saint Of Circumstance ->
Terrapin ->
at the second-to-last show and telling him it wasn't that great. Not that great?! How could those songs be that not that great?!! Ugh. It just wasn't. Things were off. And the fact that they closed everything - ever! - with Black Muddy then Box was just a premonition of what was to come, IMO. Can you even imagine if they had closed with Touch, or an upbeat song? No. The prophetic eeriness of Black Muddy paired with the death-embracing Box was exactly what they needed to close with. Like...as awful as it was, there was just no other way to go out. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times for sure.
I mean, on paper it sounds like it sucked! But all I have are glowing memories. Missing a Spanish Jam while I was peeing (Doh!!) Talking to Chris Robinson in the audience! Soaking it in like there was no tomorrow, which turned out to be true. Living my life with reckless abandon. Feeling free. The good outweighed the bad, but it certainly was one of the heaviest times in my life. Yin and Yang.
This band shaped who I am today and I can not credit any one entity, more than The Dead, with the path my life has taken. So good on ya, GD!! :drum:
FILM OF DEAD'S FAMED AUGUST 27, 1972
SHOW WILL BE AIRED AT THEATERS NATIONWIDE
On August 27, 1972 the Grateful Dead played a benefit for the The Springfield Creamery in Veneta, OR that became an instant classic in Deadlore. A film dubbed Sunshine Daydream was shot that day using four 16mm cameras and while the movie was never released, it has circulated in fan circles and been shown at film festivals. This summer, Sunshine Daydream will finally hit theaters nationwide.
Fathom Events is throwing their third annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up At The Movies on August 1 at 7:30 p.m. local time. As this year's presentation, theaters across the country will air the entire two hour and 10 minute Sunshine Daydream.
Here's a description of what to expect:
Experience the most requested performance of The Grateful Dead's entire career; Sunshine Daydream! Shot on 16mm film on a blistering summer day in 1972 and painstakingly restored to glorious HD resolution, the previously unreleased feature captures the band at the height of their powers. More than a concert film; Sunshine Daydream is a time capsule from August 27, 1972 exploding with the colorful sights and sounds of the counterculture experience. Featuring never before seen footage of the day as well as original, recent interviews with the key participants of the time such as Merry Prankster Ken Babbs, tour manager Sam Cutler, peace activist Wavy Gravy, and Carolyn "Mountain Girl" Garcia among a host of adventuresome characters providing insight on the sense of community that made such a special day possible.
We're excited to hear the film has been restored to "glorious HD resolution" and hope a DVD/Blu-Ray release will follow. Check out Fathom's website to find out which theaters will be participating this year and to purchase tickets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been the last 2 years and it was pretty fuckinawesome! Seeing them on the big screen in surround sound is as close as we can get these days to being there!!
Happy Birthday Jerry! :cool:
Happy Birthday Jerry. :beer:
"We need magic, and bliss,and power, and myth,
and celebration,and religion in our lives,
and music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it".

Thanks, LBSUNFLWR, for the head's up on the concert movie/documentary Sunshine Daydream. I just got back from seeing it in Louisville. It was pretty wonderful. Some of the footage is rough, especially near the end when the sun was going down. There were lots of naked hippies! Lots! The sound was great! I'll be getting it when it comes out for sure.
I was disappointed in how few people were at this showing. It seemed like only about 45 to 50 people. (There was one more theater in Louisville showing it and one across the river in southern Indiana.)

HA! I went to Tinseltown, where were you?
I thought there were only about 20 people in my theater which is more than there were in the same theater last year! I really liked it too but I think I liked the last 2 years better b/c they were more just straight concert footage. Though this was more like a movie than just a live concert on film. While the naked hippies were amusing I kinda wish they would have showed a little less crowd and more band. It was still awesome. And great to see a 30 year old Jerry who wasn't fat at all and who had black hair still. And one drummer!
Glad I posted the info here. :thumbsup:

Jen, 95 did suck. take a listen to one of those 95 gigs. Remember how much fun we had at the Silver Bowl? I mean Sammy, Unbroken, Eyes?!!

But it sounds like ass. Almost unlistenable relative to the good years.
And I totally hear Bobby on the late 80s/early 90s. I'll put that spring 90 tour up against any era. It may not win, but it's a worthy debate. They played w/ more energy and crispness than those loose mid-late 70s shows. Just my opinion, and maybe I'm biased b/c this was when I was seeing them, but I think they never sounded better than the late Brent era. But you know, I think Donna sucks (except on Cassidy), so there you go.

I saw Sunshine Daydream at the Stonybrook 20 on S. Hurstbourne Parkway. My guess of 45 to 50 people in attendance was probably too high. There were probably only 30 to 35 people there.
I agree with you on wishing they would have shown the band more. I didn't really like the "trippy collage" filler they kept going to during the second half of the movie. They might have had to do this due to a lack of actual film footage during those portions of the show, but probably not. They probably just thought it was cool. And yes, there was too much focus on the naked hippies (The girl with the open sore/half open scab in the center of her back got too much screen time!). The sound was killer though! I really want the CD of this show when/if it comes out.

Thanks! I have it in my "cart" for checkout now but haven't decided on it for sure yet. After taxes, the blue-ray with 3CD's costs just over $60. I wish you could just order the CD's. I will have to think it over a bit but will probably go ahead and get it.
So Mike Gordon (Phish) sat in with Phil at Terrapin Station to celebrate 8/1.
Bobby joined Warren Haynes and the San Francisco Orchestra doing a series of Jerry tribute shows. I was going to link to the shakedown I watched but it was on facebook, not youtube. He sat in for several songs so I suspect there are videos of it.
THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED
Ok, as I mentioned earlier, for the past 10-15 years I have been exclusively listening to Brent era Dead. He just does it for me vocally and on the keys. Love me some Brent.
But the wife just got the 77 box set and forced me to listen to it despite Donna being on it. And wow oh wow is it good.
First, I'll address Donna. She sounds great. In tune. not screeching like so many shows I've heard. I don't know if it's post production fixes or what but I was impressed. She sounds like she does on the albums - which is good. She is still way too high in the mix and overpowers the melody, but that's not her fault.
Bobby sounds amazing. On songs like Samson & Delilah, he has so much passion and energy in his voice. It's a quality that just isn't found in those 80s years I've been listening to. I have a whole new appreciation for Bob after listening to these.
Jerry's guitar is slightly different than the tone I'm used to from my 80s listening. It's a little less refined, but he's playing with a lot of passion and soul.
The rest of the band is more or less akin to what I'm used to listening to, but I think I've just realized that by limiting my Dead listening to a very short era, I've been doing myself a disservice.
This box set is the real deal.
:undecided: Today's the day, 18 years ago. damn.
will be spending the day playing GD and JGB. That Garcia Live Volume 1 from this past year is awesome, if anyone hasn't heard.

Jen, if you ever feel bad about missing a Spanish Jam while peeing, you can think about a guy I know who was at one of the Madison Square Garden shows in '83 and in the bathroom when they broke out St. Stephen. That's orders of magnitude worse than your story.

This is what I did as well. The Dead brought me so many good memories, it's far better to reflect on the good times in celebration! Finished up my night of Dead listening with that 3 song collaboration at Shoreline with Bobby and the boys! :beer:

Dude,
This is rad! I'm as much of a Brent appreciator as you and I understand the pain of the Donna wail, too. But May 77 is so on fire that I can easily get past her vocals and Keith's decreasing presence on the keys and the lack of Hammond and soulful rough vocals from Brent. Glad you finally got it!
Did anyone else order the Sunshine Daydream set? I got the blu-ray/CD combo one...
Already have a great SBD 3 CDR of the show, but can't wait to see the film all cleaned up!
Trying to decide on BluRay vs DVD. Is there any point in going Blu Ray if the archival video footage is not a high def source? Does the audio sound any better on Blu Ray vs DVD?
Amazon has the DVD set for about $30, but no Blu Ray. Dead.net has both Blu Ray and DVD, both with some bonus stuff that I don't really care about but the prices are about $65 and $55 or so.

If you believe Mr. Neil Young, he thinks Blu-Ray is the way to go. He offered his Archives Vol. 1 on CD, DVD, and Blu-Ray discs. In his letter on his Interweb page, he tried very hard to convince his fans to spend the extra money to get the better sounding Blu-Ray discs. With all that being said, I think the DVD/CD pack you mentioned for around $30 would be the better way to go. I was having a hard time seeing myself spend that $60 when I really only want the CD's (I got to see the movie at the theater last week in Louisville). However, I don't think the CD's are available without the DVD or Blu-Ray discs.

I mean, on paper it sounds like it sucked! But all I have are glowing memories. Missing a Spanish Jam while I was peeing (Doh!!) Talking to Chris Robinson in the audience! Soaking it in like there was no tomorrow, which turned out to be true. Living my life with reckless abandon. Feeling free. The good outweighed the bad, but it certainly was one of the heaviest times in my life. Yin and Yang.
Jen, if you ever feel bad about missing a Spanish Jam while peeing, you can think about a guy I know who was at one of the Madison Square Garden shows in '83 and in the bathroom when they broke out St. Stephen. That's orders of magnitude worse than your story.
If there's ever a Cortez, by Neil or otherwise, you can be assured I will be in the bathroom. That's how my life rolls..
But missing that Stephen is pretty major!!

Did anyone else order the Sunshine Daydream set? I got the blu-ray/CD combo one...
Already have a great SBD 3 CDR of the show, but can't wait to see the film all cleaned up!
I got Sunshine Daydream yesterday, when it was officially released. I had planned on getting the DVD from Amazon for around $32, but I decided to check the local Best Buy on my way home to see if they had it. After having to get somebody to look for it, they found 2 copies in the back, and I got 1 of them for about $40 after taxes. I had seen it in the theatre but really wanted the music on CD. It sounds wonderful.
I downloaded this extended version of Old & In The Way a few hours ago and have been listening to it on the big stereo for quite a while now. It's wonderful! I have the CD from the 1996 issue, but now I've got the FLAC-HD version! Very cool! Get it. It's worth it. I downloaded mine from Live Downloads.

"Old & In The Way
Vassar Clements (fiddle & vocals)
Jerry Garcia (banjo & vocals)
David Grisman (mandolin & vocals)
John Kahn (bass)
Peter Rowan (guitar & vocals)
Produced by David Grisman
Recorded Live to 2-track anaolg by Owsley Stanley III
High Definition Mastering in Dawg Studios by David Grisman
Forty years ago on a monday night, a bluegrass band walked on to the stage of The Boarding House in San Francisco. The band included two of Bill Monroe's former Blue Grass Boys, guitarist Peter Rowan and fiddle virtuoso Vassar Clements, mandolinist David Grisman and Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead picking banjo along with his bass playing sidekick, John Kahn.
A week later the same group played there again and recorded what would become one of the most influential albums in Bluegrass history — Old & in the Way. Now forty years later, both shows are being released as High Definition (24 bit, 96 khz) downloads on Grisman's AcousticOasis.com. This will be the first release of the complete shows by this unique ensemble and includes 55 tracks, 14 of which have never been released in any format.
For the past three years Acoustic Oasis has been Grisman's pet project with many "Deluxe" releases in high definition with much previously unreleased gems from his extensive archives. Old and In The Way - The Complete Boarding House Shows is due for release on the fortieth anniversary — October 1st, 2013."
Listened to "One From The Vault" this weekend after being reminded how good it is!!
Highly recommend!!
"As part of Black Friday 2013, an acoustic set from The Grateful Dead will be pressed in a 2xLP, 180-gram vinyl set. The release, titled Family Dog At The Great Highway, San Francisco 4/18/70, is a "never-before-heard" set and has been cut from the original master tapes."

Thanks for the remembrances, Eric and Mr. White.
As and avid camper/canoe-camper, John, I can appreciate your story of celebrating Jerry in the woods but so sorry to hear of your friend's passing at such an early age. The loss of good friends like that leaves a big void.
Thanks. We used to party pretty hard back in those days, and the right music in the right setting with the right atmospherics was vital to our bonding and enjoyment of the moment. Our trips to the forest were a real trip, if you know what I mean. Colley was all about the trip and the journey to get there.
Here is an earlier post of mine about my friend.
"My friend from my U.S. Navy days (the only one I kept up with and hung out with after 1993 when I got out) got to see this very show. He was so glad to have been there. We used to meet up in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois to go camping and hang out quite a bit in the mid to late 1990's. I still remember very vividly the camping trip we met up for a couple of days after Jerry died. My friend brought the cover page of a newspaper that detailed Jerry's death, and we tacked it up to a tree and had many dedications and toasts to Jerry's memory that day. (My friend died earlier this year at the age of 45. I miss you, Colley Kitson.)"
Here is a photo my brother took of us on that record hot day back in August of 1995. I am on the left, and my friend Colley is on the right in the Pink Floyd concert T-shirt. (R.I.P. Jerry Garcia and Colley Kitson)

Thanks for sharing the memories, Mr. White.
And, speaking of memories, it looks like JerryGarcia.com website has been revamped:

Do you still have this show? Would love to have it.

Sweet!!!
Europe '72 was one of my "go to" albums back in the day and I still spin my original vinyl a few times a year, especially when the temperature rises. Just did so a few days ago.
The show they will play at the movies in July was from a German TV show, but this is the well circulated Cophenhagen show from the same tour. Lots of versions of this video on youtube, this one seems to be pretty high quality. I'm looking forward to seeing that Bremen Beat Club show at the movies next month.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I'll be there!
Had some friends over for a listening party last weekend. I chose 1985, creating a "dream show" culled from that year, most of it from 3-28-85 (set I) and 6-28-85 (set II) with a few additions. These shows have been faves of mine for years, but I was still surprised how good they sounded up real loud. Front half of set II Hershy Park the band was truly on fire. So much bass and so much separation between the instruments, the band jamming so good! Too bad about the forgotten lyrics and a few bum notes, but ya gotta love the Dead warts and all!

Thanks for the heads-up!
I'll be there!
Don't forget this "Meet Up At The Movies". It's less than 24 hours from now!
I will be there in the theater tonight, can't wait!! I have seen them all so far and loved them! :thumbsup:
Damn! That was a great little short show (last night's Dead at the Movies, Bremen '72)
Garcia was on fire and making it look effortless and my oh my that sweet Fender tone he was getting out of his Strat. I believe that was Alligator without the sticker. http://jerrygarcia.com/guitars/#alligator (http://jerrygarcia.com/guitars/#alligator) Sounded so great, such a sweet strong country rock tone, perfectly foiled against Weir's warm Gibson sound.
One More Saturday Night was a definite highlight, holy shit they were jamming. I thought to myself "this may be the most perfect hard rocking grooving expression of Chuck Berry rock 'n roll ever" (neck and neck with the Rolling Stones doing something like Brown Sugar in 1972 or Wilco playing Monday live in 2008-2010). Keith and Jerry were so locked in, rocking the fuck out!
I loved seeing the goofiness, Bob and Jerry disagreeing about whether to wait for Pig's organ to get fixed, Jerry telling Donna (right before the second version of Playin' In The Band) to back off from the microphone, restarting songs, all that was funny and cool to see.
Phil and Billy were all over it all night long, too. Garcia was the man of the night though. He was blazing away in the Other One. I am firmly convinced with the listening I've been doing the past couple years, that Spring to Winter 1972 was the peak of Jerry's guitar playing, he was so clear and precise, so fluid, never running out of ideas, aggressively leading when called for but always fitting in to the song. Seeing him do it 40' tall on the IMAX screen really brought it home.
Really good review of that "show" Shug. I thought Jerry was killin' it too! The only thing is, I wish it were a bit longer. Since it was less than an hour and a half, it would have been nice if they had offered to play it a second time at show's end. I would have stayed for a second showing, for sure!
Yeah it was short but I knew that going in, so I wasn't surprised. To get more of the same, we watched the 4-17-72 show at home with some friends the next night. Its all on YouTube, as I posted it above.
Jerry would've been 72 today, and I'll be raising a glass for the big guy's birthday. :beer:
Gone way too soon, and missed all the time. :cry:
totally. R.I.P.
Playing the Winterland 77 Boxset at work today...
RIP Jerry
This is a pretty cool thing going on in Charlottesville, VA
Look closely under the spotlight during Wednesday's show at Charlottesville's nTelos Wireless Pavilion. Warren Haynes will be up there playing a borrowed guitar.
The celebrated guitarist for the Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule has instruments of his own to choose from, of course. But for the Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration, in which Haynes joins forces with the Richmond Symphony, he took advantage of an opportunity to borrow Wolf.

Hopefully it's nothing serious and Bobby can get out playing again soon.
This is disappointing news though, because I was so looking forward to seeing him with Ratdog in September along with CRB and seeing what kind of collaborations were going to come between the two bands.
I'm also beginning to wonder if I'm just not meant to see CRB?! :undecided: I've been on vacation the last two times they've toured and they've played 2 nights in Cleveland each tour. And now, I'd be very surprised if CRB went on and played the tour without Ratdog, but I'm a glass half full kind of a person so I'm holding out hope... :beer:

Trey is still sitting in during all the CHicago shows right? I seem to remember hearing something about John Mayer doing a few shows with them, which just sounds like such a step down

Nice! Did you do both shows in Santa Clara? Good luck on scoring tickets for Sunday!!!
Unfortunately, I can't swing going there in person but I'm going to be doing the pay per view at least. Funny how I've never done any pay per view for a sporting event but I will for the Dead! :tongue:
Tickets for all 3 nights have been secured, thanks to kind and generous friends. :thumbsup:
Love Chicago in the summer! This is going to be a ton of fun.
I'm going to the theater up in Louisville later tonight (Tinseltown Cinema) to see Night 1 of the 3 Fare Thee Well shows up in Chicago Live! Wish I could have gone up there and done this for real, but I'm pretty sure they will crank up the sound for us at this show to make it a really enjoyable experience.
Is anybody else planning on seeing some of these shows at a theater or bar/club/restaurant over the next 3 nights?
I didn't know they were doing this at Tinseltown. Maybe I can go tomorrow bc I already have plans for tonight.
I have gone there the last few years for the Grateful Dead meet up at the movies to see an actual Grateful Dead show on the big screen and in surround sound and it has been awesome!

It has been raining steadily for about 2 hours now, and my yard/basement is at risk of flooding (if the sump-pump fails or the drainage tube becomes below water level - it's 2/3 of the way under water right now). I would love to head up to Louisville for this, but my wife and parents (who happen to live in my basement) don't want me to leave...it's tough being "the man of the house" and a huge fan at the same time!
:undecided: Hope everything worked out. The daily rain can't be helping.
It is at Tinseltown tonight July 4th and tomorrow night.
We may head there tonight instead of watching fireworks in our park nearby. Especially if the weather is bad. I imagine they'll play a great show for July 4th!
Movie time is at 8 and it says 5 hours!!!
much improved from Santa Clara

Thanks for the concern about the house possibly flooding. It didn't. We did have to address a couple of minor leaks in the basement bathroom and near a window, but nothing too much to cause much damage (we have little square carpet tiles that interlock that can be easily removed and cleaned).
Unfortunately, I never got to see the Fare The Well shows at the theater. (Saturday, we did go up to Louisville, but we went to the Waterfront Park to see Ben Sollee perform a few songs with The Louisville Orchestra and then fireworks. Yesterday, we just stayed at home.)
I didn't go either. Once I saw it was 5 hours we realized we couldn't leave our dog that long while fireworks were going on. He's scared of them. And they do them right down the street and it's super loud.
I got a link to the video last night and tuned in just in time to watch Althea and Terrapin. Glad I got to see that much at least.
Will be on the lookout for the soundboards to hopefully be released soon.
I'm not a phish fan but was very impressed with what I heard from Trey during these shows. Standing on the Moon especially.
What a weekend! Holy shit was that awesome.
I have also heard that the set break music that was all done by Neal Casal was just perfect. Some of it can be found on youtube.
The set break music was great. You can hear it, and the shows themselves, here: https://soundcloud.com/quinfolk

I love that Neal is getting so much praise for that set break music. I was coming home from a party on Saturday and put on the Grateful Dead channel on SiriusXM and it was intermission and the hosts were praising Neal's intermission music.
Then my wife and I went to see the Sunday show at a theater and got to actually hear it and it was truly mind blowing... Especially when you add Justin Kreutzmann's video and graphics to it... :cool:
Today marks 20 years since the last Grateful Dead show ... with Jerry Garcia. It took place on July 9, 1995 in Chicago. My good friend from my U.S. Navy days was there. He died a couple of years back, and I miss him so very much. I remember he asked me to find a copy of the last song Jerry sang that day, "Black Muddy River" and to send it to him if I could. Here is the entire concert. Enjoy Colley Kitson! I love you and miss you!
wow. I shall be listening all day today then!!
I was so lucky to get to see Jerry 1 time only. Went to my first, last and only Grateful Dead show on 06-25-1995 at RFK Stadium in Washington DC. I was 20. last song was Brokedown Palace.
here's the set. Not really a great show in the grand scheme of things, so close to the end, and I am just so happy I went! Got to hear Box of Rain which was my first favorite song when all I had was American Beauty as a teenager. And the last 3 songs were great to hear. There were only a few more shows after. I have never gone back and listened to it again.
Shakedown Street, Wang Dang Doodle, Jack A Roe, Mama Tried*-> Mexicali Blues*, Loose Lucy, Picasso Moon, Box Of Rain, Rain, Samson & Delilah, Ship of Fools, Truckin'-> Rollin' & Tumblin'-> Samba In The Rain-> Drums-> Space-> Wharf Rat-> Not Fade Away, E: Brokedown Palace
Just realized you posted that yesterday, so I am a day late but oh well!!
I'm starting the day with the 2 disc mix I made from my favorite songs from the incredible Winterland 77 Boxset. I have uploaded it to dropbox if anyone else would like to hear it. It's my go-to Live GD.
here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/71qzyheflp75vxf/AADn6enrCCONeJHl62IpuBx4a?dl=0

maybe it's just me, but that sounds awful. After the amazing chicago experience, I'm officially retired.
how does this seem awful? Oteil is amazing! Mayer has been playing with Phil and is on point as well.
not a fan of Mayer and have no desire to see him play Jerry. I said my goodbyes the good ole grateful dead in Chicago, when they said their goodbyes to the fans. Obviously they can choose to do whatever they want in any capacity. Personally, I wish they would let it go. I've never really enjoyed any of the many incarnations of the band that I saw after Jerry died, but Chicago was the perfect ending.
and yes, I love Oteil too. Wish ARU would do a full tour.
I don't get it... Are people just putting some much $ in front of them that they can't say no?
I like Mayer's guitar playing and couldn't hit up the Chicago shows so I'm excited about this. 3/4 of the Dead is still good for me and I'm a fan of Oteil. Mayer can be really good when he's not singing songs about wonderland bodies and daughters.

I don't think there was ever an indication that the members would stop all together, Chicago was just billed as the last time all the surviving members would play together, so for these gigs there's no Phil Lesh.

i understand that but American Express presents "Dead & Co" playing the Time Warner Concert Series doesn't quite invalidate my comment...
BTW - don't get me wrong, if I have the chance, I will go see this :)
20 years ago today. :cry: RIP Jerry.

Thinking about Jerry this weekend, of course. I've been feasting on 1973 Grateful Dead the past few weeks and the intensity and sharpness that they and particularly Garcia played with in those days sets a certain highwater standard.
Then yesterday I inadvisedly switched over to 1990 Dead to work on some composite shows for that year (one for the first half with Brent and another for the second half with Hornsby and Vince) and then I threw on a DVD of 6-19-90. That was a bad idea coming right off a bunch of '73 listening, because the band seemed so lethargic and lackluster in comparison, just a pale pale version of what they were in their heyday. Then I switched over to some 1987 footage and it was remarkable how much more energetic they and Garcia seemed just three years earlier, but still a far cry from the early and mid 70s. It made me sad. I should have put this on instead:
I don't think I was aware of the Dead being in decline until about 1992, at least from what I can remember. I do remember being ecstatic at many many shows all through 1987 when I first saw them all the way to one excellent show in 1995 even. How many times did his music bring me such joy and such soothing comfort? And he did this for thousands and thousands of people thousands of times. For all his character flaws and shortcomings, surely the hugely giving heart that beat inside him and all the joy he gave throughout his life makes up for that 1000 times over. When I think about it that way, its not surprising to me that people see him as a spiritual channel or having saintly qualities. I miss being able to hear him play live so much. Thank God we have so much of it recorded to revisit at will.
Here's a link to somebody's MediaFire account (via Facebook) for MP3's from Dead & Company 2015-11-7. He said to "Enjoy. Spread the links around." So, enjoy.

I guess they're releasing the interludes/set break music from the shows this summer. I'm eh on Neal Casal, but remember these tunes as being pretty enough.

Loved him as a Cardinal, LOVE him in the CRB and loved what I heard of this set break music. Can't wait to get it. Will be great music to play at work all day...

I was VERY impressed with Mayer and Oteil's playing on the Nov 7 webcast. Wow! And I think even Bobby is playing guitar with more precision and articulation than he has in years. I still wish he'd sing his own songs (where's Minglewood and the other blues rockers and his own compositions like Lazy Lightning?) and let Mayer do all the Jerry song vocals, but you can't have everything. There was none of the awkward indecision, trepidation and confusion that to my ears marred so much of the Fare The Well performances with Trey. There were moments when Weir and Mayer were locked in, listening and playing off of each other just like Bobby used to do in the good ole days!
And its seems to have sparked Chimenti to play way better than he did in Further or Fare Thee Well. I love that he's got a grand piano, Hammond and Fender Rhodes out there. He did great switching back and forth, like the grand piano solo in Shakedown and then back to the electric piano for the verses/choruses.
Did you check out the intensity of the jamming on Help On The Way>Slipknot>Franklin's? Sounded like the Allman Brothers for a bit there.
They busted out Promised Land and Minglewood last night, well alright, alright alright! Viola Lee Blues, too. Nice!

cool, just checking. I think Trey's a better player, but it seems Mayer fits in more seamlessly into the group than Trey did. Granted I haven't listened to an expansive amount from Dead and Co but just an impression I get. And maybe it's because there doesn't seem to be as much noise about Mayer playing with the "Dead" as there was with Trey.
honestly, I'm just voicing my completely biased opinion. No clue how the masses feel.
I'm with you, parker (sorry walter). Trey noodles, but Mayer plays solos that go somewhere and actually have a crescendo. He also seems way more comfortable and confident in his playing that Trey did. With Trey they were awkward, hesitant, lost, no one stepped up to lead and they were like a rudderless ship, IMO. It was basically a disaster. With Mayer and Oteil they seem like a well-oiled machine or at least playing as a true ensemble, listening, interacting, all going in the same direction with smooth synchronized transitions. To me its like night and day better with Mayer. Plus he sings better than Trey.

Yes I agree with you
Saw Dead & Co in Atlanta last week and let me just say it blew me away! John absolutely kills it. The second best concert I've ever seen, with the first being Jacket's 4/20/10 show
I went to the Nashville show but had to leave a few songs into the second set. I wanted to give Mayer the benefit of the doubt but, after going the the Fare Thee Well shows in Chicago I knew after one song that the magic there was not present in the building in Nashville. A lot of other people really enjoyed it but didn't hit the mark for me.

Yep. On the anniversary of Jerrys passing I listen to it probably a dozen times. And periodically throughout the year. Some times I'm watching Jim do his thing with his hair waving he is def embodying the spirit of Jerry, the grateful and the dead.

Anyone headed to Dead & Co shows at Fenway?
Amex tix on sale tomorrow at 10.
Last time I saw anything Dead was Furthur 4 or 5 years ago followed by Bob solo. Will be interesting to see what the new vibe and energy is.
Who else hear would kill to see a Brokendown Palace MMJ cover?
Put Carl on the pedal steel and some beautiful things could happen
I would love to have a piece of art with Jerry and Jim side by side. Both with similar poses, guitars and facial expressions. That would be pure gold.
I saw Dark Star Orchestra for the first time on Monday night. It was excellent, beyond my expectations! They came on at 8:00 and played until midnight, 20 minute set break.
Got to hear 2 all time favorites too: Terrapin and Standing On the Moon.
Go see them if you have a chance! I'd rather see this than Dead and Co. starring John Mayer any day!

I know what you mean. I want to hear the music played as well as possible. I'd rather hear a cover band play the shit out of it than some of the originators play less than the shit out of it. DSO are pretty frickin' killer, especially if you get lucky enough to see and hear them recreate a 70s show.
I've heard Stu Allen and Mars Hotel are also on that level, but I've not been able to see them play.
I'll go see DSO any chance I get.
This past New Year's Eve we saw Tempe, AZ/Colorado band Xtra Ticket recreate 12-31-80 complete with the acoustic set, which they absolutely nailed. I was lovin' it.
The National will publish a Tribute album of the Grateful Dead featuring War on Drugs, Jim James and others. Jim and friends (don´t know who exactly) will cover Candyman.....

I ordered mine today on CD ($34.21 after selecting the cheapest USPS Media Delivery Method). That price is better than the price I've found on Amazon.
Anyone picking this up should add on a couple of tracks MMJ played at OBH 1, with Bob Weir - "I Know You Rider" & "Brown-Eyed Woman". I'd even throw in the version of "Knocking On Heaven's Door" that Bob Weir played on as well. I'm going to add them to the folder when I download everything.
And the version of "Dear Prudence" from night 2 of OBH1!

I've been to all of them so far too but will have to miss tonight's concert. My wife and I are going to Butchertown Grocery for her birthday present (complements of Patrick and the rest of My Morning Jacket). Hope you all have a wonderful time!
Nice! Let us know how it is...haven't been yet.

that's what ended 18 hours ago, thought I quoted it. Never got to see what it was.
I am not interested in watching any of the John Mayer stuff either...sorry if that makes me a jerk.
right there with you. The Mayer thing just seems a little pathetic. That said, the old farts have every right to keep on truckin' if they so desire. I'm just not interested in the slightest. I had a blast in Santa Clara and Chicago last summer. I mean a real good time! But that was my goodbyes. And really guys, John Mayer? I know he is a talented guitar player, but file me under hater now. I think it's awesome that some are digging it though.
That's unfortunate y'all don't dig Mayer. But I understand. Admittedly, he's got some cheez factor but his chops are all there. I like that he's not billed as the next Jerry. Nor are Dead&Co billed as the Grateful Dead. There just doing their thing.
Personally, I was not a fan of FTW or Trey up there. IMHO last Dead & Co tours SF and MSG shows blew the doors off FTW. To each their own.
I was lucky enough to see Jerry & the boys a couple times and the sequential bands a few more. I am pumped to see this band 4 times this summer. I'm def gonna have a real good time.
After the movie/show ended last night they played like 15 minutes of Dead and Co. live, I guess to get people interested in the shows.
I had no choice but to watch. It was painful to watch John Mayer, only reconfirming to me why I don't want to go to any of these shows this summer. And then he sang Franklins Tower and I hated every second of it. Then Bob came in and sang verses of it too and pretty much mangled the whole thing. of course I know that John Mayer can play guitar and they needed someone who could handle those songs...but it is just not for me. I'd honestly rather see Dark Star Orchestra do these songs!

Another interesting thing I noticed. We went with 7-8 people last night and 2 of them saw a Dead and Co. show with John Mayer already and liked it, and are going to 2-3 more shows this summer. After we saw that Franklins Tower she asked me what I thought and I told her. Then I asked her if she had ever heard any of John Mayer's music before and she said No. I think that's the difference. I am completely jaded going into it because I have heard JM's music before and know how horrible it is. I also had the experience of seeing him live like 10 years ago on a coheadlining deal where I had to sit through his set to get to the band I liked and I thought it was awful. I said the same thing then I would say now: if all he did was play guitar and never opened his mouth to sing I could handle him. And if I faced away from the stage and didn't see his face that would help too. :p

I was trying to come up with something good to say, but this guys comment pretty much sums it up for me. I know what Mayer was in the past....but his dedication to this band has been UNREAL in my opinion. I respect all your opinions. I do. But when I look up there and I see all of them just smiling and grooving the fuck down, its nearly impossible for me to NOT like it. They are all having a blast. Also, Mayer is in my top 3 modern guitarists, (i know thats sure to get some flack, but coming from a guitar player, what he does is unreal) along with Derek Trucks and Carl Broemel

I'll go with the "go somewhere that you can". It's hard enough hearing Bobby butcher Jerry songs, change the entire arrangement and just totally ruin it. Add Mayer to the mix and it's an easy pass. I'm beyond grateful for all the times I got to experience GD/Jerry, and happy for those that still enjoy this. Luckily I have plenty of other options that still do it for me.
JRAD FTW IMO
I'm with walterfredo on this one.
And I have yet to see JRAD but keep hearing incredible things. Wish they would travel this way.

definitely see them if you have the chance! Incredible. Looking forward to them crushing it at High Sierra this July.
JRAD are damn fine musicians. The tempo they create is just too much for me. Sounds like 2 part delicious coffee & cream and the rest shots of jittery but not bitter expresso. Haha. But I listen.
Other than Dead&Co the Golden Gate Wingmen are my favorite Dead band on the scene right now.
Yeah, I'm in the camp of thinking that in spite of what I think about Mayer's solo music, his questionable personal life choices in the past and any of that, the dude can play guitar, he is sincerely passionate for the music of the Grateful Dead and you put him and Oteil on bass in the Dead and Co and the result is surprisingly impressive to my ears.
I really don't care who plays the music, I just want to hear it played well. I think Dead and Co are playing it real well, from what I've seen and heard.
That Slipknot that they showed after the movie last night was tight, intense and to me it sounded as strong as anything from 7-2-89. I can understand that some don't care for Mayer's vocals, but they don't bother me at all. Its not likely I'll travel out of state to see Dead and Co, but I think they are doing it better than Furthur ever did and a lot better than the Fare Thee Well shows. I'm not into JRAD either, can't put my finger on it, but it just does not float my boat. I don't think Russo's drumming is to my liking, so the rhythm section is lacking for me.
Dark Star Orchestra and Xtra Ticket (with A-Bear) from Arizona/Colorado are doing it for me even more though. Xtra Ticket are coming back to Phoenix in a week and I'm stoked for it.
Having a chance to see a show I attended almost 27 years ago at a movie theater last night, I am blown away by how great the Grateful Dead were. I almost cried during Jerry's first solo of Crazy Fingers, had a massive smile on my face the whole night. I've seen The Dead, Furthur, and Ratdog. If I had to choose a guitarist to take Jerry's place, it would be Kadlecik. But, honestly, I think I'll stick to my memories and recordings of the original band, 1965-1995.
That He's Gone was my favorite part. Dear Mr. Fantasy was pretty amazing too. :)

I agree. There's no shortage of amazing quality live shows out there. Listening to them makes me happy.
And what I REALLY like to do is pick out my own audio of the Dead in their prime and have a dance party at my house. wish I had some more of my dancing buddies who lived in the same city, but what can you do. I also wish there was more high quality video of the Dead in the early 80s and prior. There are moments in the shows post-1987 that hint at how good the Dead were in their prime, but it can be hard for me to see them in their decline in the later years. I thought the Dear Mr. Fantasy was the highlight of 7-2-89 and I will always be excited to hear To Lay Me Down, but ol Jerr just couldn't get that one going in that show and that was bittersweet. His smiles all night were probably the real highlight for me, more than any of the music in that show. Seeing Jerry happy and into it makes me happy.
Definitely!

I very distinctly remember the Dear Mr. Fantasy>Hey Jude. My original perspective was neck-deep in sweaty Deadheads, not very close to the stage.

I used to think 1978 was kinda lethargic, but that changed when I listened to 7-8-78 and the shows in Feb. and April from that year. A lot of that lethargy in the Fall I attribute to Keith's decline into heroin addiction and general band burnout, but man they were on fire in the Spring and to some extent in the summer of that year too.
Almost every show from April '78 was great, but check out this rager on 4-24-78

and https://archive.org/details/gd1978-02-05.123360.mtx.set2.dusborne.flac16
Probably my two favorite Scarlet>Fire combos on these shows.
Thank you! ^^

The Normal, IL show was a Dave's Pick and there was a Dick's Pick of 2-3-78 Madison, WI and 2-5-78 Iowa so you can get some really good recordings of those if you find 'em for a reasonable price.
Wait til you hear the Estimated>Other One>Eyes from 7-8-78, WOW, one of the top versions of Estimated ever, IMO. I'm not familiar with the rest of the shows in that box, looking forward to see if any new highlights are discovered.

Nice comp of the Winterland '77 box. Peggy-O and Sugaree were peaking in '77, I think, as were many other songs.

While I'm not against what Bobby is doing and I'm not anti John Mayer, I'm overall in agreement with walterfredo on this. I'd rather enjoy the multitude of tapings we have available to us of this band in their peak (mine too, pun intended :cheesy: ) and savor my memories of being fortunate enough to have seen them live several times way back when... :beer:

Anyone catch the Dead&Co show last night from Charlotte? They are stretching out the tunes and sounding great.
Here is the archive link:https://archive.org/details/dc2016-06-10.MilabV4
youtube (audio only): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osK5Oh87yI4&feature=youtu.be
setlist: http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/dead-and-company/2016/pnc-music-pavilion-charlotte-nc-1bfe1d48.html
Highlights for me: cold rain n snow. they love each other. deal. love light. No encore due to 11pm venue curfew.
Summer Tour is here! See y'all in NY, CT, BOS
Wowza! Bonnaroo!!!!
Donna Jean with the boys.
bertha, bird song, terrapin, the other one, wharf rat
So good!!!!!! Y'all be missing out.
Catch em while u can
I can't believe that Donna's voice could have gotten better over the years,what are these guys thinking bringing her back onstage?
i made it out to bonnaroo this year, and donna jean showing up may have been the most surreal moment of my life. i know a lot of people don't buy into her, but hot damn, if that wasn't the best show i had ever been to!

She kept it cool and sounded just fine IMHO. That was about respect and unity. She deserved that opportunity for what she meant to the band and its history. Kudos to them for recognizing her and welcoming her into the fold.

Ive been rewatching/relistening to this show the past 48 hours non stop. The magic is back and its legit. I believe Bonnaroo signified a major dynamic shift with this band and its fans and haters alike.

I couldn't have said it better myself!
Just for some different perspective on Dead & Company - I can understand that for people who followed the band back in the day, that there will never be a replacement for the magic captured onstage with Jerry. But myself - I was born in 1985 and so by the time I came into my own as far as music, I missed the Grateful Dead as an act. As a result, I really never listened to them.
Embarrassingly enough, given what most people think of him, I'm a John Mayer fan. It's wayyy outside of where my typical tastes lie (my top 5 bands are MMJ, Wilco, The National, Pearl Jam, and Tame Impala). Like everyone else, I pretty much cringe every time he opens his mouth to speak, but I am just really impressed with the way he plays guitar. Continuum is an amazing album, and for me, Born & Raised is the best thing he's done.
But anyways, his venture with Dead & Company has brought the Dead music to my ears for the first time. And not only have I enjoyed hearing John play that type of music, but it has inspired me to explore the Grateful Dead's own catalog. And I've been bit... hard. I'm currently running through their entire discography. Have listened to the proper releases during their existence and am going through all the retrospective live albums now, including the Dick's Picks. Just so much great music, and so much magic caught on stage.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I get that people who have been fans for a longer amount of time not being a fan of Dead & Company and maybe "butchering" some classic songs. But this act is bringing Dead music to a new generation, and people are discovering it for the first time, and in my mind, that is only an awesome thing.
That's a great perspective and I agree with much of it. I was fortunate to see a fair amount of late eighties, early nineties GD shows and also witnessed some genuinely sad performances by the big guy toward the end.
Regardless of virtuosic merits or talent, some of these Dead and Co shows have just been energetic and a nice reflection on how much fun Dead shows could be. I feel like the Fare Thee Well run last year wound up being a reunion of sorts for the old guard and now this Dead and Co tour is bringing this music to a group that could care less about what once was and is more interested in what it is right now.
I only got to see the GD twice in my early twenties and late in Jerry's days. 94 & 95.
Those two shows, while fun and quite the experience, were a far cry from what I heard on my tapes growing up. The stage by that time had become somber.
This past week I went to two Dead & Co shows. SPAC and Hartford. The band is having so much fun. They are playful, energetic and revived. Its amazing. Don't get me wrong this is not the Grateful Dead. Especially not 1970-92 GD. Mayer is not Pigpen or Jerry. But he doesn't have to be. He's an amazing guitarist and is putting in some time and only getting better with every show.
Talking to and studying many old Heads these past few months. The ones who can accept the reality, can accept Mayer and can move on are the ones enjoying the ride the most and have the biggest smiles. I for one am catching any show I can.
If anyone is looking for a show to listen. I suggest the 2nd night from Citifield NY from last weekend.
I am sorry but this shit sucks and is pissing me off...that being said I am glad everyone is having a good time,not trying to be a joykill.

Those two were some of the sweetest jams, and right off the bat! And if you listened to both nights or have seen the setlists, you know there was much more sweetness to follow. Besides the obvious choices, Let It Grow on night 2 was also really special.

Lol. More tickets and room to dance for me.
On this Anniversary I am starting the day by playing this:
(http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_500/MI0003/479/MI0003479243.jpg?partner=allrovi.com)
R.I.P. Jerry
Tonight in theaters!! So much fun going to these, I haven't missed one yet.
Truly the closest thing to being at a show.
https://www.jambase.com/article/preview-cornell-77-mini-doc-ahead-grateful-dead-movie-screening
Couple things:
I picked up the RSD release Grateful Dead, 7/29-30/66. A very good recording for early days. With some solid lesser spun tunes and a few classics. Very good quality and packaging. Def worthy of the price tag.
I also got the Acid Test by Ken Kesey on vinyl for RSD. It's bad, bizarre and cool all in one. A collectors item for sure.
Another album I scored in the last 6 months is Circles Around the Sun by Neal Cassal. This was the music spun during the Fare Thee Well show intermissions. Its a great album. The band is also playing a late night show after DeadCo Night 1 in Boulder this year.
Last one, they are releasing the classic show Cornell 5/8/77. Possibly sold out already but..

I skipped this Dead RSD release since I did get a pre-order of Cornell '77. Can't wait to spin it (I think it's released next month)

Can't wait to listen to this!! Yes May 5 release.
I love the Circles Around the Sun stuff. great background music at work.
May 1977 - Get Shown The Light
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e6/May-1977-Get-Shown-the-Light.jpg/220px-May-1977-Get-Shown-the-Light.jpg)
Just started the 2nd show of 4: Boston 05-07-1977 40 Years ago today.
This boxset of 4 incredible shows sounds so perfect.
This is a must have!
my Cornell vinyl should ship today but spent most of the weekend streaming it and even that sounds fantastic.
Holy shit 7-12-89 RFK at the movies last night was on fire!!!!!!
I had no idea it was a contender for best show of the year. I thought it blew away all of the Alpine Valley shows from later in the week that they showed a few years ago at the movies and on the Downhill From Here DVD.
Bruce Hornsby KILLING it and throwing down the gauntlet to Jerry to match him, Jerry and Brent totally locked into one another all smiles for so much of the show and Jerry dancing like it was 1978 in that hot hot hot Women Are Smarter!!!
Great first set with an epic Promised Land, too! The Rolling Stones are the number one Chuck Berry cover band, IMO, but the Grateful Dead are right there at number two, plus Jerry takes three verses of soloing at full speed, while Keef and Mick Taylor keep it short most of the time.
You say you don't like Dear Mr. Fantasy? Watch this version and see if it don't change your mind, Jerry was ripping it up!
so much props to Brent for his great vocals, especially back up with Weir on Cassidy and with Jerry on Black Peter and Dear Mr. Fantasy.
That was a KILLER show!!!
They are releasing an audio only box set of those two nights at RFK over on Dead.net

Nice review Shug. :thumbsup:
We were at these shows and your take on them is pretty spot on to how I felt after these shows. Wonderful memories from those nights. Hell, that summer and era as well for me.
Thanks for the audio box heads up. I definitely want to have this. :beer:
Wish I had done more East Coast and Midwest shows in those days. I lived in the Bay Area and could catch 12- 16 shows a year without leaving my city, and I was a student with little money so those are the shows I saw. They sure did rip it up on tour, more so than at home, I'd say.
Glad you got to experience it firsthand, eric! Looked like a real good time!

Haha, I know the feeling. I was a fairly new dad at that point so we didn't get to any shows farther away than driving distance during those years. Fortunately for us, we were in driving distance anywhere from DC to Boston, and the boys hit the NE/Mid Atlantic pretty hard in those days. :thumbsup:
I always wanted to see them in California and especially the SF Bay Area but never did, unfortunately. I can't really complain though, I was lucky to see some great shows at some classic venues on this coast,and will always be Grateful for that! :wink:

AXS TV Offers Television Premiere Of 'Dear Jerry: Celebrating The Music Of Jerry Garcia'
In May of 2015 an impressive array of musicians including some of his Grateful Dead band mates came together at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland to honor the late Jerry Garcia. Dear Jerry: Celebrating The Music Of Jerry Garcia featured the likes of Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann, Mickey Hart, moe., the Disco Biscuits, Widespread Panic and more. AXS TV will air a concert film documenting the event.
The television premiere of Dear Jerry is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET this Saturday night, August 19. Dear Jerry ends a day of programming honoring the 50th anniversary of the Summer Of Love. A 90-minute concert film recorded at Red Rocks documenting last summer's Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration featuring Warren Haynes airs ahead of Dear Jerry at 7:30 p.m. ET.
so, I'm a few years into my mid-life Dead phase and still amazes me how much there is to find out about this band and its many phases/incarnations. I usually use the Relisten website to stream shows and they have this feature called "Today" that pulls all the shows played on that date in their database. Last week I was listening to 10/17/78 Winterland and heard a song I had never heard and it was "If I Had the World To Give", a Robert Hunter song off Terrapin Station. I really loved it immediately and went to look it up and apparently it was only played 3x ever, all in 78.

Do any more knowledgeable fans have any insight why such a beautiful song only got played 3x?

I love that feature on the Relisten app! I used to try to find a show from the current date on Archive but that feature really saves some time!!! :beer:
Indeed a beautiful tune and I've never understood why they shelved it after only a few live plays. It was in the running for our wedding entrance tune.

I came home Friday night to find this audio box in my mail box! :smiley: Perfect timing as it got me through a looong day of work Saturday. I was gonna save one of the nights for the next work day but holy shit night 1 just killed it and I had to immediately follow up with night 2.
Interesting tidbit from these shows as we were treated to a rarity of having Jerry, Bobby, Phil and Brent all sing lead on a tune at the same show. I remember thinking that during the show but forgot about it til giving it a listen.
Excellent job on these recordings and I'd recommend any fan to pick it up if you can. Some really great stuff as you've mentioned Shug and there's quite a few goodies on the 2nd night as well.

Oteil has been reading this thread apparently because he sang World to Give with
Dead & Co last night. I love his voice on the slower Garcia tunes that he has brought
to this band.
Another fine moment in Columbus concert history :cool:

The Rising Tide: A GD mix from the 2nd half of 1970 - streaming and downloads
https://www.reddit.com/r/grateful_dead/comments/82qtzv/the_rising_tide_a_gd_mix_from_the_2nd_half_of/
Was just revisiting 6-24-70 Port Chester and the INCREDIBLE second set of the late show, the one that starts with one of the best NFAs ever, its got something waaaay extra special in the Bo Diddley beat going on and then it slides SEAMLESSLY (and I ain't jokin') into a hot hot Easy Wind. Holy shit this prime Grade A++ Grateful fucking Dead! I'm usually a SBD-only dude, and it kills me that there is no SBD of this night, but the AUD is all we got and it ain't too shabby.
I love thinking about the magic that went down in the Cap with the Dead in 1970 and then again with MMJ 40 years later! Just like the Fillmore in SF, there has got to be some residual psychedelic vibes hanging around in those rooms!

I'm a big fan of Joshua Johnson, NPR, and The Grateful Dead. This is well worth the listen...
