Colorado August 1987 Vine

started by JackstrawfromColorado:

Thanks again to cosmic badger for the latest Vinedex update! As I was looking through the list I noticed only 2 shows form 87. What a shame! I'd like to help out with that gap. I have 3 shows from Red Rocks (Aug 11 - 13) and 2 from Telluride (Aug 15 and 16) to offer. 2 DVD's of FLAC files.

The Red Rocks run was my first exposure to the Grateful Dead. Although I didn't get into the shows I was in the parking lot! Then a couple of my buddys took off the next day to Telluride, I can't believe I didn't go. I was fairly young.. anyways I haven't listened to these shows in awhile but if I remember right they are very good. The Brokedown Palace encore at Telluride for day 2 is a classic - Jerry stops them about a 1/2 verse into it saying "Wait a minute this is all fucked up, we are playing the wrong key ... the altitude and all ..." Pretty funny. Just wish I could have (should have) been there!
