Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

One of the events will probably be 'Meet Up at the Movies'. Another will be the 'Dead Covers' project. One will be '30 Days of Dead'. There are 4 DaP's. A Greatest Hits is a good possibility for January now that the cover and track listing has been 'leaked'. A Box Set. What does that make up? 9 months covered. What did I miss? Anything obvious? I don't think we'll necessarily get a music release every month, maybe just an event or other commercial venture...

Contains one of the most thrilling jams ever played. DG only had about 40 minutes of the 2nd set & the sound quality was less than stellar however it still blows me away to this day & the show featured on that night is 11/20/78, Cleveland, OH. I still listen to the tape I made of it in 1996 give this one a listen it's a gem of a jam. The odd part about it is the jam actually opened the 2nd set & just kept building from there. It also features the final reading of If I Had The World To Give. I wish better copies existed of it though. It truly deserves better treatment. Let's talk about 1981, I decided to pull out my 2nd favorite Dicks Picks, Volume 13, 5/6/81 IMHO the very BEST of the eighties PLUS the "secret" filler tacked on the end of CD 2, the 35 minute long Scarlet>Fire from 11/1/79. It's a cold rainy night in Philly the wife went out with her sister, the kids are at the movies with my sister & I'm all alone just me in my DEAD house. Now I have listened to something from the 70's & the 80's now I'm in a 69 kind of mood how about 12/26/69? ONE MORE SATURDAY NIGHT, DEADLAND!!!!!

And smooth sailing. (not completely accurate or up to date in some regards) Getting close to the 1966 on Sirius. He played a portion of 12-1-66 a month ago. Wow (Viola Lee Blues, worth price of admission alone.) from the Matrix. I think I have all the official releases from 1966, but I am unclear about the dates of performances. I have a CDR of 12-1-66 from about 15 years ago. Audio is decent but setlist is great.
