October 15 - October 21, 2007
We’re going to be doing some jumping around the calendar this week, to play you some music we didn’t get a chance to play for you the past few weeks.
First, as we’re always interested in playing unique sequences and segues, we’ll pop into 1980 for a quick stop on 10/2/80 at the Warfield in San Francisco. From this very good show is the interesting third set opening sequence of Drums>Comes A Time>Lost Sailor>Saint of Circumstance.
Next up, we’ll jump ahead 14 years, to 1994, specifically the very good Fall Tour. From 10/1/94 in Boston, we have the second set opener, Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain, and from a few nights later on 10/5/94 in Philadelphia, the very unique second set opening combination of Midnight Hour-Cumberland Blues.
From the Fall Tour of 1976, specifically 9/30/76 in Columbus, OH, we have the second set opening Lazy Lightning>Supplication.
Jumping back a bit to 1972, here are two songs from the 4/7/72 show at Wembley Empire Pool (subsequently Wembley Arena) in London, Chinatown Shuffle and a rocking Me and My Uncle. Bobby wasn’t kidding when he said about these two Wembley shows in 1972, “man, we played like demons at those shows.”
Check in next week when we’ll be playing some great music from your favourite band. As always, we welcome and encourage your questions and comments.

Whining
I guess I'm 1 of the whiners whing about there not being any whiners whining. That being said, cool selections. I love the 80's and 90's!!!!!!
brent's ghost
Boy, I did not remember hearing Brent on 10-1-94, but his ghost is unmistakably audible on this official Vault copy! Damn, yo.
10/01/94 the last of the GREAT ones
thanks for the HEADY year jumping selection this week!
10/01/94 is in my humble opinion THE LAST GREAT (all around) GRATEFUL DEAD SHOW!
Every note of this boston garden show is worth hearing...some of the most haunting and soulful garcia you'll ever hear!! there are several key points to this show...from the line in "so many roads" being "so many roads to HEAL my soul...." instead of the normal lyrics. The haunting "Tom Thumbs" solo.....and this solid "scarlet>Fire".... why wasn't this show a dick's picks? or official release? I already have a pristine copy but this is one of these shows that we ALL need to have in HDCD!!!!!! or perhaps a DVD with 5.1 DTS???
thanks again
p.s. its a GOOD thing that most people have split from posting here....I noticed no more/if not less bitching and moaning than there was during the whole stream switch ordeal....it wasn't an ordeal for me except having to wade hip deep in all the negativity!! GOOD TO SEE WERE BACK TO NORMAL around here!!!
thanks again....quality nuggets!

normal?! dead heads? normal? where? not here? never! normal, HA!
Pretty sure this ain't 94.
Hey David, just wanted to let you know that this is not the Boston 10/1/94 Scarlet/Fire, though that is a favorite of mine and I'd be glad to hear it, perhaps along with the So Many Roads from that show as I'd love to here the version you have in the vault. That being said this Scarlet/Fire is terrific, I'm guessing 84. I presume there was a mix up somewhere. Anyways as this is my first time commenting I'd like to make one small request which is a Jackstraw from 9/9/87, it's just such a smokin' version and I've only ever heard a not so great audience copy. Anyways, thanks for your selections and Ford at Olimpico sends his regards.
Whinin' boys RULE!
Call me a whinin' boy, ifn's you will, BUT, David: there are no many roads on 10/18/07, and if there will be, then what's all this balderdash about bashing winos? Can't peace-niks just be given a right to passage? So, who's to say that the mineral rights to California's Gold have been offered up to televison skies? Keep on ignoring me, (& "them") it's just GREAT!
luck
as luck and coincidence would have it, i got a new computer- one equipped with excellent speakers and all kinds of speed. i am enjoying my taper's section once again!!
thanks for the great music, david! i am happy to hear you-
caroline
i'm going to whine ...
waaaaaaaah! waaaaaaaah! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
ok, now that i'm done, i absolutely LOVE the drums sequence this week. friggin' a!
however, i'm not so pleased by the 'chinatown' / 'uncle' repetition from a month ago. is lemieux falling asleep at the job? actually, since i didn't bother to check, are these the same versions from september? don't want to waste any time without downloading.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...
'lost sailor' is definitely not one of my favorite tunes, but i just noticed the lyric, "there's a price for being free."
think that applies to the taper's section?
i'll go hide now ...
got better things to do than
got better things to do than whine, shoot, got better things to do than stream, too! l8tr
