July 12 - July 18, 2010
Greetings, and welcome back. This week we have music from the 1980s, and a taste of 1974.
You may recall last week we played you the end of 7/31/88 at Laguna Seca. This week we have the second set opening sequence, consisting of Hell In A Bucket > Foolish Heart > Man Smart, Woman Smarter > Terrapin Station > I Will Take You Home. This last tune, Brent's lullaby to his daughters, was very new at the time, and had not yet found it's permanent home in the post-Space slot.
Next up we have the Big Jam from 7/25/74 in Chicago, made up of Dark Star>Stella, Johnny B. Goode, UJB>US Blues, OMSN, Ship of Fools, with this last song being the encore, a very rare Ship encore. Also note the Slipknot jam in Dark Star, one of the earliest. This show was part of the Wall Of Sound tour, and was the final US tour featuring the Wall Of Sound.
Finally this week, from 7/22/84 at Ventura County Fairground, we have the show-closing sequence of Morning Dew>Throwing Stones>Not Fade Away, Midnight Hour>Brokedown Palace, with these last two being the encore. I never got the chance to see the GD at Ventura, but for a terrific account of a Ventura show, check out Blair Jackson's The Music Never Stopped book, which has an account of seeing the GD at Ventura '82.
We hope to see you here next week, and we look forward to your emails at the address below. Please make your email subject “Grateful Dead” so that we're sure to get it. Thanks!

I remember a near perfect Stella Blue from that run? or earlier.
Perhaps I'll shadow box the apocalypse for a bit.

I laid in a spontaneous quote when I set up my account. I do love my beer.
Thought it would make somebody wonder: " what?"--- just that. So I gotta say... with all
respect. "Vy do juuu vunder?"

Hey Man,

hang out...
Merci Beaucoup Monsieur Lemieux

Tell us more aaron!
I was not at the Ventura shows in 1984. I was however at 15 consecutive shows that summer from Red rocks in mid June thru Alpine Valley in Early July. Missed the 7/13 Dark Star(the very next show!). Been to Ventura fairgrounds for two runs in the late 80's. This 84 piece sounds real nice.Thanks David for all the great music.
Had a blast in Ottawa last week.
I was fortunate to be at the ventura shows in 1984. This sequence stands out as some of the very best of that year's summer tour! The space>Dew is mindbending!
what is up with the glass thing?
