Grateful Dead

Interesting show!

...on a high note,
picked-up my 1988 denon receiver yesterday
after a complete audio maintenance
and repair of the digital display, new pc board,
and cleaning of all controls...
working like it's new again;
rogers LS6a speakers, turntable, cd & cassette decks are all connected,
and away we go:

2020 bonus disc
june 22nd 1974
@ jai-alai fronton

5/26/93

really impressive PITB

REALLY

An Aud, but per the usually awesome recommendation of both PF & BC, I had to check it out, and glad I did!
Good show, ok aud for the times, low fidelity maybe, but no goofy yelling etc.
Didn’t get the whole show in as the shows listed didn’t seem to coincide with db? Some seemed like they were from 6/21, and some seemed mixed up?
Not having the time, or gumption, I just checked out some? Acoustic and all of the electric set with the cool DS snaking in and out, sweet Attics, tighten up? Or is it that other jam, sorry, senioritist, always get those mixed up and again, no time to research…(also, apologies to some good folks I owe response messages to, hopefully I’ll catch up this WE).
Some pulls have a bunch of New Riders, but again, no time…

Couple quickies…

‘Cosmic Light Clusters’ - Eclectic Maybe Band. Interesting improvisations and some compositions.
Prior to this I was streaming the 1st Judee Sill album since it was easier than tracking down one of my copies. This was, and is, a beautiful album.

Onward!

What's so funny bout peace love and understanding

Give a little bit (Supertramp)

The 1966 Recordings by Bob Dylan. Copenhagen and Dublin yesterday, but I'll probably take all year to wend my way through it.

Desperado

Recorded by Bear.

As part of my 1970 dive I hit the Festival Express and 5/24/70 video (disc 2 of LST). Always cool to check out these archival chestnuts, every now and then, from time to time…

From the 30 Trips Box ...

I haven't listened to it in a couple of years - Jerry is in Great form, Phil sings his heart out, Bobby plays some interesting licks early and (oof) over-screams several times to ostensibly check the mikes (ouch!) as the crew hammer, presumably, one of Bill's foot pedals back in. At one point, Jerry says "Everything's gone Weird, All at Once" and they try a fairly sweet Mama Tried (not often a fave for me) that takes two tries to get off the ground ... Perhaps the beer was not good?? Bob says something "smells like cat-piss" You hear "Let's F*in do it! and then Pig launches into A Man's Man's World - the jam is not quite as the expansive marvel of Harpur College 2-3 weeks later, and they seem not to (yet) have the most confident way to close it out. But IMO, both Phil and the vocals are recorded better. Candyman is interesting/good (to me) for being an electric performance of the (more common in early '70) acoustic arrangement. Hard to Handle is performed a bit more slowly than later versions, with the great syncopated middle stretch rave-up being shorter- early times & just starting to take shape, I guess. Jerry's killer solos in Cumberland rock it out to close the disc.

The other half is pretty freakin awesome as well. Especially, but not at all limited to: The 'flying' Latin-Flavored Caution-ish Jam that arises from Drums and has Mickey (and/or a guest?) absolutely Hammering the small skins, then goes off into the intro for The Other One (Hot) that segues, uniquely(?) into Dire Wolf.
There is a distinct recall of parts/bars in the flying 6 minute jam that also +/- flows in between the 4.26.72 100 Year Hall versions of Lovelight and GDtRFB - which is Way up there on my list. So to this Head, it's VERY worth your time/attention - whenever you happen to come around to it.

Edit: Dancin' in the Streets (with excellent Darkness, Darkness jam in the middle - AKA, at least to me = 'proto'-Eyes) ... Also very good/worthwhile 👍

Cheers All

He really tears up the harmonica on Mr. Tambourine Man.

That 66 box is a big one. 23 shows!

3/26/72

at my desk

Black Sabbath: Another TV Criiiiimmmme!

It is an Aud, but not bad, and interesting set list/firsties

Edit: good first, ok second, sound seemed not as good for electric set?
Cool early tape PF

Onto a touch o 5/15/70 DS etc for a sitz!

Dennis - it said on the news last week that the sale of harmonicas has gone up since "A Complete Unknown" started showing.
I tried to play one when I was a teenager - but could never get to grips it. Plus it seemed to upset the cat. If it had gone missing for a while, I used to stand at the back door and blow into it. In no time at all, the cat would appear, running into the house with it's tummy close the the floor. If I played when it was already in the house it used to start crying. Funny what you remember.

Spinning now.

One of the FIRST tapes I ever got

Would ya hear my voice,
Come through the music

This acoustic stuff is sweet!!
And not so bad for Auds?
Wow, really dig the acoustic hybrid Truckin!

Imagine the electric set will suffer more because of the Aud?

Eat a Peach vinyl
Sweet!
Cheers

Another Aud, this ons not so good, so far?
But figured should hit the whole run to fully appreciate the next few gems.

Ok for housework…

Whoa, first BOR, and it’s acoustic! It’s crazy Bo daisy the things ya find…just gotta poke around!

More goodness, but sonically inconsistent?

Ok, been putting this one off fo ever, between all the hype, and it being on Dave’s possible list that doesn’t exist, figured I’d get ultimate virginal listen when it was released.
But, since that hasn’t happened yet? Gotsta continue on with my quest.
Besides, if I hear it, Murphy’s law, it’ll get released soon lol

Worried. Anything I’ve heard that’s hyped this much usually disappoints?

Should be doing other things, but just can’t shake the existential depression today, so WTH…

Audio on this acoustic section now playing is abysmal. Supposedly eee lec tric is better…
Edit: electric is better sounding but not spectacular.
Figure if Dave has it as a possibility then maybe he has good tapes?
Not sure how I feel about this one. Probably due to all the hype?
Too many “best version” of this and that etc
Definitely a good show, and though I don’t need a pristine SB to hear if their playing well, it probably would help? Throughout, I kept feeling like I was missing something, perhaps a touch o the mojo hand? I dunno, can’t grasp right words, definitely a great show but perhaps from musicians pov not RJ?
Some shows just BOOM!, it hits ya, maybe situational?, perhaps next time I’ll 180 lol.
Awesome DS, best…? I wouldn’t go that far, LL, same deal, though this one was interestingly different and perhaps more lewd and bawdy than normal lol, best…? Mmmmm, no.
Overall, mediocre acoustic set comparatively, but one tasty Grease fest to be sure, and again, cool DS.
Personally, that’s worth the price of admission alone, but objectively 4-4.5 outta five, maybe?
Let’s see what the next one sounds like…

So much for getting anything done today lol, WTH, why not…

Aaahhh, if only this one had a DS! Awesome SB, awesome show!
Not sure what’s available or not, with minor editing, but if ya do the math you could almost get 9/20 and the meat and potators from 9/19 on three discs…OR, if there’s some but not all of others available from the run you might have a nice DaP/w bonus disc…not sure enough overall here for a box, but perhaps as part of something more comprehensive? Just my dos centavos…

No PF, I haven’t made it to Port Chester, yet. But per your recommendation it’s on my list! Looks like I have about a dozen SBs I haven’t heard before, and those six Auds. After that, time to git along little doggie! It’s been fun, but (per usual) I ended up doing way more than planned lol. Have a new appreciation for 1970 now, but starting to get burnt, and eager to roam elsewhere!
Onward!

Good stuff

9/19/70 is worth the hype

9/20/70 is worth the hype

A nice, juicy box would be nice

Yo, Oro, are you familiar with November Port Chester?

Tasty

Spinning Disc 3 (ripped file) of that show from the mini-box pre-dawn while doing a little writing and before heading out to the field. WRS > Eyes of the World > China Doll np.

Yesterday on drive down streamed about 2/3rds of 11/20/73 Denver Coliseum. Awesome stuff . Didn't quite get to the jam sequence that was released as part of RT V4 N3. My vehicle streaming is low-fi and plan to revisit with the ZenDac and Senns.

Man I love Till The Morning Comes…wish they’d stayed with it.

uncle_tripel

11/5: another SWEET DS!
Yeah PF, wonder if anyone has tapes?

Uncle T, Doin it proper!
Go Birds!
Hope the league doesn’t just reduce them to another hurdle for the “threepeat” marketing bonanza BS!
Think we’re going to boycott for the above, plus the politicizing, including the league caving into removing “End Racism” from the end zones! Greedy Koonts!

REALLY?

fuck the NFL.

I have many other ways to spend 2/9 than watching that shyte.

I hereby declare this coming Sunday "Grateful Dead at Maples Pavillion Day."

every day this country gets worse and worse. just simply unbelievable.

…prolly because Dumpy’s going…

There is nothing that fat phuch won’t wreck

Hopefully 11/7 too!

I haven't been able to understand this album for years

Listened to some at health club this week

Kinda getting it

Methinks it needs to be experienced in full on a road trip

It sounds like the music is booze

Ace of Spades

Fookin love Motorhead

Yes

We finished our project a bit quicker than anticipated so back at home with a few extra free days. Finally getting around to jam section released as filler on Disc 3 of RT Vol. 4 No.3. 11/21 got the spotlight on that release but all of 11/20 needs to released. Great show front to back.

PF - I picked up the The Basement Tapes RAW (Bootleg Serties Vol 11) for a buck at a local yard sale. Haven't really cracked it but now I've got to see whats up. Also got Tom Petty's Highway Companion for $1 - that's a disc I spun a whole lot.

Quick question.

What is the tax difference between what list price is and declared price?

2nd question.

Downloaded a group called Smokie this morning, how are they viewed over there? I never heard of them.
