Grateful Dead

such a beautiful song so beautifully played. and many other times as i can attest since i got to listen to quite a few on this one. no complaints here though. took a few times listening through to convince myself i think i finally found the right one. anyway fun search. this tune is one of those that takes you out of your seat and sets you flying over the crowd soaring through the lights and sound and all you can say is yeah man that's the stuff. almost like they just stole your face. stole it right off your head.

Nearly two and a half hours of music so far folks, and we're only one-third of the way home. How sweet it is.

This one was a pleasure to hunt down

I listened to 60+ intros and i started my search way way off. Hats off to you, Dave

Man, I’m having a hard time. I think I have the era roughly down but I’m trying to listen to what it segues into. Drums??

I listened to 48 Intros and outros and thought I had some that were close but not correct. I thought I had the right era... I was running out of options in that era and went back to the hint. I tried to search for it from a different direction, and it helped me refocus my search. I think I found what I was looking for. I think. Tomorrow will tell all.

So far, I'm 8 for 9 and the miss was a lack of time issue for the search that day :(

Fun search today. Wondering why they decided to cut the last few minutes off this tasty jam.

The keyboard players gear narrows down the start of the era.

I love He's gone, so even though this was a tough one, I enjoyed listening to about 70 different options( parts of them at least) before getting it.

Easily had the era and even close on the year but that did not make it easy. When I get desperate I jump around randomly and was so disoriented that even when I found it I was so excited that I clicked off the archive without writing it down! Doh! Another 10 minutes of where the hell was I before I got back. Very unique timing didn't help as they did this song many different ways. Good luck!
Cheers

Beyond embarrassed. Been playing this since the first year. I never guess at an answer. Either I know the answer and submit it or I don't and don't submit it. I'm a fairly big nerd when it comes to this particular thing so I'm pretty good at it. Yesterday there were 7 choices and only 2 that came out of crazy fingers. Easy Peasy. Synced up the board tapes starting at the vocals. Yep this is the one. For shits and giggles I also synced up the audience tape. Yep, this is it. Except it wasn't. I'm not sure I can live with myself today. Guess I should stop doing this right before I go to bed. Synapses just not firing right. And we got this one in 2017, duh. Dropped the ball, I did.

That took a looong time, but I think I got it.

I can’t believe how wrong I started out today. Was so sure I heard something and then- POOF! It was GONE! So I looked somewhere else and after a short while it came together, or SYNCED, as they like to say. Well worth the search!

Sometimes we get little tastes of treasures. Maybe this is a recent discovery. Took a little while and it was all down to the slight alteration of a vocal melody early early on. Then some comparisons to the bluesy lead guitar towards the ending minutes of what they have on the site's player here today. Very nice recording offered up on the site today.

I spent so much time today during little free moments at work re-listening to the download, checking out SO MANY He's Gone's, then back at home, I settle in to get back to searching, and the very first show I click is...EXACTLY RIGHT??? lol wtf. the day of getting familiar with the download helped and was basically necessary to make the match stick out. the most wonderful time of the year!

Had a plan. it did not work out well.

I think this is the first time I haven't been able to find one of these. I'm not going to brute force it and I'm fresh out of ideas, so I think its time to chalk up the L.

Thought I went right to it but no and now I've been meandering with nothing to show for it yet. Now I'm even checking eras that I am sure are wrong,

I made that harder than I should have!! But I did finally figure it out.

My new verses for today's song...."now I'M gone, now I'M gone, Lord I'M gone, I'M GONE, and nothing's gonna bring ME back, I'M GONE,......trying to the right answer for today.....I've nailed it down to between 1972 and 1995......time to light the peace pipe.

I'm so stoked I won yesterday!!! I never received any email about it, is that normal?

I am definitely smiling after I finally found this Day. Tough one today.
Searching for the sound might steal your face right off your head.
Like I told you, what I said, only 20 more Days of Dead.
Go Pack Go!

I keep trying five more shows, five more shows, and now I need to give up again. That's twice this month already. Good luck to y'all, how many of you are there? I wonder.

tough nut to crack today but it was right where I thought it would be or thereabouts. Just took the scenic route getting to my intended destination.

Narrowed it to 3 years, then slowly whittled it down to 1. Focused on a missing word plus the timing as to where the outro jam begins. Finally got one that sync’d up. Source threw me off too

Like so many of you, I had to figure a reasonable starting point and just keep rolling down the track (after a few detours along the way). So many beautiful Jerry guitar musings on the intros to this song through the years made for a satisfying search. And when found, seems like an unlikely venue for that amazingly soulful vocal play on "nothing's gonna bring him back" - I kept waiting for someone to add harmonica to the mix. Another gem of a find from Dave, though a bit more of the guitar jam at the end would have been icing on the cake. Oooo- oooh!

IYKYK.

Indeed, I finally got it. I knew the period but wasn't pinning it down and finally found another source. Would have preferred this on a Saturday or Sunday when I went directly to the correct shows.

I heard plenty of leads/hints/tips within the recording, but mostly it was a challenge because there are so many similar ones in this era. Got a late start, but eventually got there! Whew! Hang in there everyone who's still looking! It's definitely a keep on truckin' kind of search.

To me it sounds like the Saint that precedes the He's Gone ends and He's Gone starts as a discrete song, so there should not be a ">" leading into the He's Gone in a set list. There is certainly no gradual transition between the two. Unfortunately the folks at GDSets.com apparently disagree, so I spent the whole day barking up the wrong tree. Doh!

Congrats to those who found it!
