Music is well said to be the speech of angels.....
Morning, rockers!!
I had something very different written, but got Hey Now'ed. Numerous times. Can I please apply for an exemption?
All I can say is, May 15 1970. Let it elevate you!

If the king loves music, there is little wrong in the land.....
Acoustic Dead
We are used to it now, but I sometimes wonder if it threw people a bit when The Dead came out and played an acoustic set in 1969-1970. People who saw them couldn't have been as aware of what they were up to until they actually saw them, communications being what they were. I can't imagine the Jimi Hendrix Experience or Cream coming out and playing an acoustic set.
The Stones played a few acoustic songs live in 1969 - but only two as far as I am aware, not a whole set.
5/25/72
Really enjoyed this show. Anyone else listen to it recently? The Uncle John's Band, Wharf Rat, Dark Star are the highlights of the show for me. Such good energy and man they are on fire.
Decided to keep the ball rolling with the Lyceum shows with 5/23/72.
Hope all is well out there.
London is a roost for every bird......
Yes!!! The 4 Lyceum shows are all top notch. 5/23 really fine, 5/26 one of my all time favorites!
Enjoy, and rock on!

When it's three o'clock in New York, it's still 1938 in London.....
5-23-72 vinyl
Gave it a spin this past weekend.
Planning on spinning the rest of Lyceum vinyl this coming 3-day weekend, as well as my DP12 vinyl that is supposed to arrive Friday.
Lyceum/Frost
Hey Jim, yes, love these four shows. No Vinyl for me, but I have the steamer trunk.
Still need to listen to 5/24 and yes 5/26.
Needed a diversation today, so I went with 4/27/85 from #49. What a great release.
Hey OB, how is everything going?
Music is the soundtrack of your life......
Yo, rockers!!!
For goodness sake, what else would I be listening to?
May 26, 1972. An all time favorite, the last show of a fabulous tour, the last truly classic show with Pigpen. The E72 cuts from this show were truly part of the soundtrack of our young lives. And still are.........
Who hears music feels his solitude peopled at once.......
Rock on, my friends!
Doc
To be alive, to be able to see, to walk, to have houses, music, paintings - it's all a miracle, I have adopted the technique of living life miracle to miracle.....
Doc - miracles
Doc, I can't agree more. Every day is a miracle and a gift.
Been A While..
and since it's June..
It's been a while since I have listened to Road Trips Vol 4 no 5, June 9, 1976 at the Boston Music Hall.
It's funny, I was not a huge fan of the Road Trips series in general, but by the time this one rolled around I has warmed up on it tremendously. They were doing more complete shows by then and collectively I realized there were some monumental shows released as Road Trips. By the time I began to enthusiastically embrace the idea it got kiboshed. Go figure.
Or as Yoda was found of saying, Late to the Party, I am.
RT4.5
This sounds good for my Monday Jim.
Our second taste of this tour, with the download series being the first.
This was the only year this released five from this series. Maybe this was supposed to be 5.1 before they decided to cancel this series and go to Dave's Picks.
Definitely an underrated series Jim.
Hope we are due for another 76 release soon.
A good Monday show
Seventy Sixtus would be proud.
I didn't quite make it to the end. Distractions abound. There's always tomorrow.
After I catch up, and with all the '74 hype, I'm tempted to dig deep into something from that year I have not heard in a while. Any suggestions? Something off the beaten path from a year that is pretty well paved. Maybe a complete, under the radar shows from the October Winterland run or Roanoke or something else that just hasn't percolated lately?
RT4.5/74
This show might be the best of this run. Haven't listened to it in a couple years. Great first set, love that long Crazy Fingers and the second set with the St.Stephen Eyes all the way through the Franklins is a fun ride.
Thanks for the pick Jim.
74 sounds good to me. Can't remember if I have ever heard the Roanoke show.
