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.

Just in case you missed it.
Zaorish your very welcome. As other comments have stated the entire Boston show from 10/01/04 is special. The playings top notch and energized. The whole shows a great listen. Also the show before this one in Boston, 9/29/94 is also worth checking out. Regarding 10/01/04 and your comments about Jerry's passionate singing at the end of Fire, make sure you don't miss the So Many Roads and Stella Blue from this show which as you will hear demonstrate that Jerry's passionate singing was not limited to Fire alone. Theres a good board on archive you can check out. To me it's some of the best vocal work Garcia ever did. I'm actually of the opinion that while Jerry was super inconsistent in 94-95, vocally there are moments where he let himself go unlike any other period of Dead.
want '94
beenwaytoolongatsea
c'mon okay, this is crazy, i mean this a great '83 scarlett fire, awesome, brent sounds fantastic, phil sounds absolutley phenomenal and jerry great, what more could a little pig like me ask for, well that '94 scarlett fire sounds cool, and i have a mac, and can't use windows media player, okay here is me crying, i'm a little sissy, i know, and i'm not complaining 'cuz this '83 scarlet fire is f--in' AWESOME right now brent and jerry weaving, with phil below and bobby kind of pulling them along, drummers keeping rhythm alive, great, '83 is my nuumber one year, far and away, but ...... wouldn't mind some way to catch up with that '94 scarlett fire that's written up there that apparently you can only get with windows media player and you can't get that with a mac ....... i may invoke the equal protection clause

tears and goosebumps
just hit up the "so many roads" from 10/01/94 over at arcive.org....
literally 2 verses in and i was in tears
with goosebumps
if this isn't the most poignant, heartfelt, sincere, single piece of grateful dead music then i don't know what is? 30 years is summed up in one song. My whole life experience is summed up in one song. Maybe it was the dream I had last night, which i refuse to express for personal reasons, but man the song really hits home.
Great song...perhaps the greatest ever written....but what's a song if not for the singer?
this show needs to be heard and digested by everyone!
Missing Jerry
Ive been to over 300 shows, and I miss Jerry, I met him on sevaral occassions, The last time in Oregon at the country fair, I wont speak of the partys backstage at winterland, life was different then, but Im the same Ol Red...
adversity?
On October 14th, 2007 Jeff Drake said:
Just a word or two, gentle readers, about what it means to me to be a Deadhead. It's ALWAYS been about adversity. Adversity is being stranded in some snowy parking lot in Indiana or somewhere without a ticket & you've just been turned on to the best acid you've ever had & the cops are watching you but there's nowhere to go....
Adversity is NOT the fact that I can't download my free Dead so I can listen to it while I work out at the gym on Monday morning. Adversity is The Bear sitting among piles of cables, hopelessly stoned, while 3000 people scream for the band to PLAY, MAN, and the Angels are getting pissed and looking for somebody to STOMP, MAN.
Being a Deadhead, to me, is about trying to find that thread of peace and love in a world of haters, and in so doing, becoming an outcast and a misfit in Society. That's dealing with adversity, friends, on a daily basis, trying desperately to make some sense out of a world gone mad. Free Mp3s would be great but that's not how the world is. Never was, except for a short time there; lets move on. Come listen to my free radio station www.stonemountainradio.com It'll be fun!
Peace, Jeff
Missing vault tapes?
Two October shows, 10/18-19/80, performed at the wonderful Saenger Theatre can only be found in audience format: do these exist in the Vault? Can you check it out Dave and let us know? Much obliged for the great tunes you provide here and on Sirius.
happy b-day
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
CHUCK BERRY
81 AND STILL ROCKIN....AND LOVIN THE UNDERAGE LADIES.....
Thanks
Dave, Thanks for the LL & S from Columbus. Before I got on the bus (didn't know anything about the Dead besides Truckin' and Casey) a DJ named "TR" used to play Lazy Lightning from the Kingfish album regularly on Cleveland's old M105 radio. I loved it and it wasn't until the Dead played this at my first show that I realized it was Bobby. Thanks for the great stuff!
