Anchorage, Alaska, 6/21/80.

Anchorage, Alaska, 6/21/80. (It was featured on the homepage when I first logged in.)

The northernmost show ever, as far as I know, and with quite the cosmic vibe in keeping with the summer solstice. A Playing in the Band jam for the ages, a setlist I love. This is really a don't miss.

Since I got on the bus about six months later, I didn't see this show. Of the ones I did see, the ones I'd most like to see formally released, though I'd settle for downloads:

9/11/81 at the Greek (my SECOND show)
5/21/82 at the Greek

I think they're more candidates for download than CD just because they're the darlings of my idiosyncratic tastes rather than known all-time greats. E.g. the latter I particularly loved at the time because the setlist seemed to be a conversation as it played out. But there's a little riff in the UJB in the 5/21 show that I sing to myself to this day, and I haven't listened to it for eons. The tape is a tad battered...

The Winterland 1973 shows

The Winterland 1973 shows with the Cincinnati Gardens 12/4/73 bonus disk (or the whole show would be great!)
Even releasing them individually would be fine by me, but I hope that box set comes out someday. Thank you.

I'd like to see more of those May '78 shows released. 5/5, 5/6, 5/9, 5/13, 5/14, 5/16, 5/17 are all great contenders.

I am a big proponent of

I am a big proponent of Brent's early years, 1979-1982 or so.

The fall/winter 1979 tour has so many exceptional shows, yet is under-represented. I would love to see another show from this era released, such as 10/27/79 or 11/6/79 (my personal all-time favorite EVER).

It is very close on the heels of the Dead Ahead shows, but something from the 4-show mini-tour of Florida and Georgia in November 1980 would be a treat as well.

How about some stuff from the Europe 1981 tour? London 10/4/81 is SUPERB, SUPERB music. Brent is on fire all night long. I don't think anything has ever been released from this tour.

Of course, something from the Summer of 1985 would be most welcome, too. Arguably the most consisent tour of the band's later career. I can't think of a BAD show from that summer.

Finally, I'd like to see the Greek Theater shows in Berkeley from May 1982 be released. Man, that would be GOOD.

Thanks for all you guys do.
