    Origins

    I'm currently listening to the vinyl companion that came along with the graphic biography of the early Grateful Dead, Origins. It's a single-disc recording from the Fillmore West, 8/21/68. Side A: Dark Star -> St. Stephen Side B: The Eleven -> Death Don't Have No Mercy.

    I have only listened to it a couple of times before, it strikes me listening again this time that the highlight is really Death Don't Have No Mercy. The band is really tight and in sync, both technically and emotionally. There are lots of quiet moments and loud moments in the song, and Jerry's guitar works screams like a man in pain and sorrow.

    I prefer listening to 70s-era and Brent-era GD simply because their repertoire is so much larger than it was in the 60s, but there is such a raw, energetic sound to their earlier work as well that I really love. Aside from this single-disc release and Two From The Vault there isn't any other live material from them available on vinyl that I know of, I wish they would release more.

    Good thinking Joey. I've decided to drop down a few years for the sake of variety - and landed on 9/18/74 from 30 Years. At first it sounded very thin, coming out of June 1977. A bit rinky dink. Demonic country picking by Jerry apart, it took a few songs to adjust to. I've only listened to the first cd so far, which does finish with a soulful To Lay Me Down. The best is yet to come, as the saying went.

    Getting through 1st set.
    More impressed with the 4-6 1st set.
    But lots left to go.
    (edit, 2nd set is making up for it!)
    Sound is still great.
    Rocking the smaller system this morning.
    Little speakers but big sound!
    Cheers

    I'm finishing up the second show in the box and will start the third....there has been a couple, few stand out tunes so far I think, like the Wharf Rat on 4/6, fine playing during the second half.

    June 1977

    I had been listening to that Dave, I have the CDs in my possession finally thanks to someone here. (I did have a digital copy before) Those are just grate shows, everything is spectacular! I love 6/8 I think it might be the best eighth of a month of 1977 ;) and maybe even better than any other eighth day of a month ever? Okay no, too far, there is 11/8/69, 4/8/72, 9/8/73 ect....

    Anyway, I had wanted to keep listening to the June 1977 stuff but after going through it twice I switched to 1970 because felt like 6/77 was a little too close to 4/78.

    Someone ( Joey?) on here mentioned 6/8/77 recently, so I decided to give that a spin to tee myself up for the box. I tend to overlook this box a bit. Great show from beginning to end. I followed that up with 6/9 - which didn't get me quite like the previous night until the Help-Slipknot-Franklins jam. Truly the spirit takes over here- surely one of the best, if not the best, version of this triumvirate ever played.

https://youtu.be/rtKQaYjBxN0 funny thing is, like Neil Diamond and the Grateful Dead, people either love or hate TTB, I haven't seen any middle ground among my friends. one thing you can't argue is that they have fun.....and with 12 touring band members who all get equal pay according to an Interview I saw with Derek in 2011, it clearly is not a money grab.
