Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

One thing I have learned is that while I prefer the format and layout of GDSets for set list searching, for various reasons sometimes I find more shows on herbibot. So what was 1 became 2 and I got it on the second try.

I've met Deadheads who hated Victim or the Crime back in the day, but I think it's an excellent song. On the other hand, I kind of liked Day Job*, so what do I know?

*I was looking at Day Job in the set lists and it turns out I saw the very last Day Job ever played! The Death of Day Job!

I want to thank you, for a real good time. If you like yesterday's song combo offer, I recommend searching for video of February 4th show at Family Dog to get a feel for what it was like in that venue in that era. Also, I have found some interesting recorded versions of the song, Gloria, starting with a in the studio jam in April 1979, as well as some jams in fall of '79 with Gloria theme, and the Europe '81 Melkweg show and BCT '84 show. My first DS was 8/14/85 with a band called, Kokomo, with Brent and Billy, Hampton Beach, NH.

Yeah, Dave forgot one I guess! First show I found was the wrong one because I couldn't really hear textbook Brent in the music like most his jams. So naturally I looked after his death thinking its a Vince Welnik era & found one almost exactly 2 & 1/2 years after the CORRECT show. Well, thanks to the folks in the comments, I know I am not crazy! At least when I knew to check Brent's era it didn't take long, though there still was some confusion as to what the hell the name is on that big crumbling behemoth of a venue.

that whole month was filled with amazing guests and performances.
thanks dave
