October 8 - October 14, 2007
This week, we’re going to stop into the years of 1980, 1984 and 1989 exclusively, with some great stuff from both years.
First up, from the final night of the Grateful Dead’s 14 night run at the Warfield in San Francisco on October 14, 1980, we have the pre-Drums sequence of Jam>Terrapin Station>Playing In The Band, always a good combination of tunes.
Next, in 1984, the band played an excellent show in Hartford, CT, on October 14. From that night, we have the first set closing sequence of I Need A Miracle>Might As Well, a rather interesting pairing of songs. And from the end of the second set, we have the sequence of China Doll>Throwing Stones>Not Fade Away. Unfortunately, the master recording (on Beta PCM) is cut toward the end of Not Fade Away. However, the sequence is particularly interesting due to the massive amounts of effects Healy put on the voices throughout these three songs. This is about the strongest, most prolonged manipulation of the vocals these ears have ever heard.
Our next stop is in 1989, at the Meadowlands Arena. Of course, the final night of this five night run of shows was immortalized on the 2001 CD release Nightfall of Diamonds, mixed from the beautifully-recorded 24-track analog master tapes. From earlier in the run, we have the pre-Drums sequence of the second set from 10/12/89, featuring Hey Pocky Way>Cumberland Blues>Looks Like Rain>He’s Gone. From the next show, on 10/14/89 (on 10/13/89, Jerry and Bobby appeared on the David Letterman show), we have the first set opening combination of Touch of Grey>Minglewood Blues, both of which are played exceptionally.
Be sure to check back in next week for more great material. As always, we welcome you to write with questions or comments.

Sugaree 4/7/72 now streaming
Thanks for separating and enabling the stream for Sugaree 4/7/72 in the 8/27 - 9/2 Taper's Section. I just noticed it this morning and it was a pleasant surprise. Thanks as always for all the great vibes !!
correction(?)
tj crowley
still unable to enjoy the sounds but appreciate the history..fyi..when you introduced the info your quote of.."This week, we’re going to stop into the years of 1980, 1984 and 1989 exclusively, with some great stuff from both years."..i think when there is more than two included it deserves a different adjective..istead of 'both' possible 'these'...just my stuff i'm sure but it doesn't sound correct w/ listing more than two but classifying it as 'both'..just me i'm sure....again thanks for the history....OH! king rhino put out this kick ass historical box set 'san fran nuggets' '65 - '70 'love is the song we sing'
Acoustic material?
Any acoustic gems in the vault that could work their way into here would be welcomed by this guy.
Thanks for another great selection. Have a blessed week!
Still NO answer from the LAME ONES
I still stand by word that this is PATHETIC we have had no response...something about silence makes me sick!!
History tell us that everything great falls...I really hope this isn't the beginning of the fall. Archive and Btree have all the sounds yet Rhino and the GREEDY in this organization have done it again except this time the community hasn't responded the way they did for archive to have them reconsider.
Anyway...these songs are on my ipod and it is easy to STREAM RIP them. Try using Nettransport.
Those emailing me try searching for "Nsanedown" and learn.
Once again thank you GREEDY Rhino for ruining something good!!
Now I get it
Might want to put out some outstanding material performed by Mickey and Bill. to make up for the lack of what the ones there are on my stereo during any and or all my trips and only song that kept me happy 99.1% of 2% of the time, on a side note during the soundcheck in the movie Jerry, "who sits behind my computer'it's true saw him was on my plastic cup of water'and now I have those same exact models in my cabinet'""try to get them up at the top, that would be the hippest = Banana peel on stairs! i am paralyzed with polio anyways Good day.
Another Sellout...
I was hoping for a "no whine" week but I guess that is not going to happen.
Why does everyone insist on blaming Rhino when Rhino is just employee of the Grateful Dead? This misplaced anger never fails to amaze me.
You need to focus your concerns to the correct folks. The band has control, they are not pawns or powerless.
Accept this fact. It isn't a value judgement.
Enjoy the tunes (however you find them) and have a great week.

give me some of whatever you're smoking ...
paradox
There are two types of people in the world. Those who make generalisations about other people and those who...errr.......
Can't understand..
I write from italy, and I have a blog on windows live spaces; I used some of the taper's section music as a soundtrack to this blog...it was a way to enjoy the music of the dead with my friends and, anyway, it could be useful to play this music to the ones who really knew a little, if nothing at all (ehi, they weren't so popular here!) about 'em..I lately bought "Three from the vault", "Live from the cow" etc..but I'm a fan !
What difference does it makes to you if some of this wonderful music is downloaded?
This is the real spirit of the Dead...the ones who downloaded this music are the same who buys the cd or downloads the music by PAYING it...the fans, as I told you before..
It seems to me that this is a kind of being so hungry for the money that you don't care for the ones that really love this music.
Another slurp of tunes that
Another slurp of tunes that I'll never hear thanks to corporate. C'mon David, be true to yourself, c'mon over to the dark side, tell the man to go stick it.
