Joined:Fire on the mountainNot too bad today Oro but not as good as the last 2 days. Actually took a long walk last evening. Very much limiting outdoor time but it's bloody hot anyway. Slight improvement on containments but the early monsoon brings dry lightning storms so it ain't over. Need the flooding rains that the later monsoon season brings, but then look out for the debris flows from the burn scars.
7-8-78 On Ship of Fools now, Jerry's vocals are VERY animated. Has that growling thing going in some of the songs too. They really dug Red Rocks!

Might fire up part of 6/18/83 per Joey?
Can’t believe I didn’t go to that show, IDIOT! - 1stshow70878
Joined:A Little Late for 7-8-78
But hey, why not. 1stshow's first show.
Going with my original taped copy of this from the Red Robin Italian made bootleg 3-CD that came out around 1995-96 that my buddy Dan paid $75 for at Triple Play Records in Grand Junction, CO. I didn't have the coin to buy one so I got some metal cassette tapes (TDK MA110) to copy it to. Likely the only "metal" tapes in my still too large tape collection.
Sounds like the soundboard Betty and not the cleaned up version in the July '78 box. The amplifier buzz at the beginning of the 2nd set is a dead giveaway, no pun intended. It's not noticeable on the official release. I have another set of tapes for the 7-7-78 and 7-8-78 shows from a local source (our city attorney BITD, lol) that were from around that same late '90s time and they are almost this good but obviously from a low generation tape source with very professionally done covers with great artwork. I missed most of the "tapers" era as I didn't start collecting tapes until about 1990 in PHX from a good connection and good ski buddy where I worked at the R.E.I. (Thanks, Dave S.!).
The band was high and so was I. Cheers - Oroborous
Joined:31 years past, Today, and superficial summer 93 review
Sigh, I rememberd 7/9/95, but still hard to digest, especially how we serendipitously ended up going, and watching The Band onstage etc,…then….poof. So it’s now longer since they stopped then the years they played : ( as my Aussie buddy says “getting old ain’t for pussies”

Currently finishing a good but…8/26/93 and after 8/27/93, to finish this stretch of our quest!
I’ll pick up at MSG and finish the rest of what I’ve not for the year out sshhllater.
Next? Maybe a little 68 palate cleanse, Then Summer 91, which I’ve heard all but like 5, but want to do most of the summer in sequence (with videos!! : )
-
What do I think of 8/21/93 etc PF? Good but maybe not RJ? Disclaimer being I was not there, I listen to a lot of shows so sometimes I miss little things that can add up, plus set setting etc…I’m sure it was an awesome show to be at, but here in my more clinical setting sometimes things get considered differently?
That being said, Sweet HCS opener, buzz kill WB, Lazy River good but more mellow, same with QJ, good, but more of the laid back mellow place they sometimes habitat this year?
more mellow, though very nice Bird Song, but things are looking up! Rocking PL to close set.
Second, good China Cat/Rider, ok way to blow, ok but less inspired Truckin, but from here on things get more inspired! Fun Schoolgirl>Smokestack and Last Time with help from Huey on harp! Bet that was cool to see! Another amazing D/S before Last Time, and good but? SOTM after it.
I say good but because JG kinda fumbles through the first half, but does finish strong, though I didn’t think it was the GOAT? since there are many real Bobbie dazzlers and competition is steep lol I’ll have to try it again…
But after strong finish, a Rocking good OMSN and good but lame IFTL encore.
I HATED this as an encore! It would have been a good end the first set instead of Dough Knees tune, but felt it was a cheesy encore, but that’s just my two centavos…
Felt same about Day Job…liked it, but not so much as an encore!
The next night had a strong first set, real nice H/S/F set opening, then sorta slipped into that good, but kinda formulaic remainder. Nice Days Between and awesome D/S as is usually the case during the later years! Mickeys Rave lol
-
Over all, I’ve found the year surprisingly consistent, well played, and often more energy than you might expect. Garcia is especially inspired often, both singeing and playing and except for a couple LSDs, don’t recall his voice failing him much.
I think I already discussed the first part of the year, so will skip to Vegas, except to comment on Oaksterdam. Overall solid great start, sometimes those first of year Cali shows could seem like tour warm up etc? The 22 I was distracted by the so so recording, especially low vocals? Overall I found it to be a bit of a creeper, the new songs are fun, but I’m not usually as enamored as most by first versions, honestly they often are kinda ruff. These are ok, but from PITB onward this show picks up very nicely, Probably due to OC joining them, which as Branford has stated, they seemed to always step it up when they had certain special guests!
Certainly the case here, and especially the Segway from D/S into TOO! Boo-Yah!
Vegas first ok tour opener, second night a creeper, shifting gears with nice Broken Arrow and Bird Song! The rest kicks ass…
Felt maybe the next night was a lil hair better overall, though I think I liked the second night best? They continue on the momentum at Shoreline, with maybe a slight dip the last night.
Good, but…
Same with first of Cal X, third night better, and perhaps second night best?
Giants starts out the summer tour strong, first three like a house a fire! Then settle into more well played Dead. Nice Scarlet and a Crazy Fingers etc, but maybe a so so Stella?
Second more of the same, with very cool jam between PITB and drumzz. Bobs voice is roached by the end of this one, recovers a bit for the first Palace show, but hurting again as second night progressed. Overall more consistent playing and energy.
Buckeye maybe a step up, and Buffalo good, but perhaps a tad laid back etc with uninspired formulaic set list. KY I didn’t get good listens in but seemed like more of the good, but not quite gas stomper of early tour, or later…
Like, Chi town seemed strong again, Deer creek built on this with ok first, but really good second and third nights!
I really liked the RFK shows and thought they possibly the best of the tour?
Eugene already discussed, Shoreline first good but…ok first set, some flubs in Scarlet, and sorta status quo the rest, except always nice to catch an Attics. Funny how they sometimes sneak in a big dog near the end to bring some shows up?
Same with LSD (more of what I call a good encore, but alas never got : (
Seems like Jer liked playing it, but it was one of those tough for him to sing?
Second night nice Wang Dang, Candyman, LIG etc.
sweet Crazy Fingers, good Saint…rest more of the good but maybe more Cali relaxed year status quo. Oh, another “good” encore, Rain, which I did catch at the super fun “RAIN” show on 6/30/95.
Starting 8/27/93…now…
Onward!

Joined:1993Lots of good said about the 8/21 & 8/22 shows. 8/22 was my 39th B Day.
I will 2nd blue crows suggestion about JGB 8/7/93 Seattle. The first appearance of the lightning bolt guitar. The Deal was so hot I saw smoke coming off the fret board on a run down that Jerry smoked…….noodle fingers flying !
A quick mention of 2/22/93 Oakland. Worth the listen.
Off to work ….TGIF

I poked around with the Auds, and I think I like the Streeter best? Anyone have an opinion on that?
I'm gonna give Road Trips Vol. 4 No. 2 another go around. 3/31 set 2, and 4/1, 1988
Edit: I have the 3 CD version of the new Garcia & Grisman Bare Bones release, haven't got into it yet...
...and another CD copy of Electric On The Eel, I have issues with buying music I don't really need... :)
Yeah Joey
That's why we're all here.

But in a good way!

Planning on 4-12-77 - Chicago Auditorium Theater (bonus disc) today.
oooh 7/13/76 represent!
Nice to see that one in Proudfoot's list. A sleeper fav of mine for many years.
I had to road trip up to Berkeley yesterday and 10/2/77 was already loaded up so I went with that. I had this show on tape back in the day and I listened to that Scarlet->Fire quite a bit, but had sort of ignored the rest of the second set. It's solid but for my money there are many finer '77 set IIs out there
11/16/78
Mish mash of sources, and Mickey broke his hat lol
JOEY 5/17/81. The Streeter works, the munder, think I like the Jim Wise best.
Just sampled Big RR Blues, since by second half of it you’ll see what I mean by Jers loud.
Been forever since I heard this show, and my cassette version I ripped will always be imprinted, but I didn’t have time to do comparison. We didn’t know lineage BITD. Guessing mines the JW?
I’d say if nothing else check out that Big RR and finish the set.
Sigh…so much dead, so little time ; )
7/13 76 Official Release Please
Cool show, that I was fortunate enough to be at. It was in the tiny Orpheum theatre. Very cool!
11/17/78

But back on so back at 11/17/78, both…
Then onto 85!
BC: don’t you have some stories bout these dates?
Perhaps the 18th was your first, er something?
Senile minds wanna re-know lol
BOX STRESS: only stress I had/have is wether it’ll get shipped correctly…
Edit: and a little 3/13/85 for dessert!
Oro 7/13/76
7/13/76. was the only show I went to. It was very difficult to get tickets, they sold out immediately. The Orpheum Theatre holds less then two thousand people. The last show was broadcast on the radio, I listened to it on the radio.
In that spirit ...
I'm dipping into the '76 box >> For 6.11.76, Boston, and will have to do one from the Beacon as well.
I sure hope they will be able to release (some?) ALL 5 of those July Orpheum shows over the next year or two (!) ... That, and 1-2 more from the fall run, are all I really need to get from that year.
6/11/76
I was listening to some of this earlier today too. Great jam before the first verse of Eyes. Good all through in fact.
April 8, 1978 Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Love shelving these boxes for a while where I forget the particulars of a show but then when listening again, its an.....
'Oh Yeah! Hah, how great was that?'
Like when the stereo gets exponentiated during Deal, the profanity laced Bill after Samson, the frog croaks in Space, so on and so on.....

2/26/73 redux
Sweetness. Coming off listening to 9/9/72 I'm struck by how gorgeous this recording is by Kidd Candelario. A jewel. Everything just about exactly perfect. Nice instrument balance. Great vocal mix. Like Billy being spread left/center/right. Hadn't given it much thought but it seems that the new pa system introduced Feb. '73 had the added the benefit of making it easier to dial in a good mix on the reels being run at the board.
Oro - My firstie was 2/3/78. Chitown kid but I missed that Nov. Uptown run as I was away at college getting edumacated. Friend saw those three shows at the Uptown but was unaware of the Loyola benefit at the time. What you may be half remembering is that I really really dig that 11/18 Set II and have raved about it - it is killer - release that sucker! Wonder if there are complete boards of the first 2 shows in the vault cause I'd like to hear those clean too. May take me a little while to get to the Shoreline '95s
Goin' down the road feeling badminton
How bizarre
Deadheads love badminton
Eyeroll....
I do enjoy...
watching the Asian ladies play badminton, that sh*t is fierce bro :)
So, I was also thinking about Dick's Picks 28, but I landed on... wait for it...
4/21/69 !
which I am not really familiar with, I just got copies of the run last year from the kind and generous man with all the tunes, that you all know so well :)
I am also looking foward to having that Hampton '81 show
3/21/85
Starting spring tour after a nice 3/13 warm up yesterday.
Love that Hamza stuff!
Did they ever play bad in Hampton?
Been wanting to do this tour for awhile…
BC: thanks, I knew there was a story around those shows.
Yeah, the 18 is sweet, really enjoyed it back on POTD!
Didn’t get the best listens in on the 16/17, but seemed tour status quo.
Glad I finally hit fall 78, especially the complete WL shows.
Have a few left from December that we’ll hopefully finish up end of year…
But for now it’s 85 spring tour (70 yesterday, snow tonight lol) and fortieth anniversary seems like a good time to meet me at the bottom.
Thanks BTK. Such a good run. Hope we get more soon!
Don't laugh at me, but...
after you do 85, listen to some 86. Such as
5/4/86
3/21/86
4/3/86
There is some other stuff too. When they hot, they hot.
Heading out on a road trip today
Winterland 77 June and March
Also 6/22/73
86, you betcha
On my schedule for next year…saw 11 shows that short year.
Definitely some gold, but sometimes more work to find it…
Usually 3/24 or 6/30 pop into my pea brain first, but like most years, just gotta poke around!
3/21/85: sans a few mic frogs, solid high octane tour opener!
Sweet jams, like Jam into TOO is fierce, and JG spins an unusual little repetitive phrasing into it that I don’t think I’ve ever heard?
Onto 3/22/85…
Winterland 10/78
Surely mentioned here before but I'll mention it again - a big basket of Betty reels from Winterland 10/78, 4 complete shows (all except 10/17), were returned to the vault by ABCD. This was a few years after From Egypt With Love. Box material you'd think.

I recommend you check out 1 31 70 on archive without looking at the set list
It is a unique show
2 1 70 is tasty, as well
In the same '76 neighborhood ...
Having listened to 6.11.76 yesterday, I am now (greatly) enjoying the first Beacon Theater show from the same run/box:
6.14.76 - Spectacularly syncopated playing and sound quality. 😊

Finished up the fantastic 6/9/76 show

Around And Around in particular is a stellar version!

Rhythm Future Quartet, etc
Outstanding concert Saturday evening in Brattleboro, at the Vermont Jazz Center, well worth the treacherous weather drive down the Connecticut River. Django hot jazz led by virtuoso Jason Anick. In the next couple weeks, concerts with Dweezil Zappa, then Christian McBride.
3/24&25/85
Up to Ramble On, no frogs yet and the band is settled in to the tour and rolling
Christian McBride, SWEET,

Road Trips Vol 4 No 4
4//6/82
this is what I got lately, the release has really nice filler from 4/5, really nice...
Edit: I refer to this one simply as Ben Franklin, I once called it a "A Tasty Benjamin".... oh boy...
Heads Up
Got passed to me, so I'm sending it forward.
if you search the archive for the-majestic-star.
Someone took every dark star and blended them into a 25 hour cut. Guy give a full description of what he did on the archive page. I sucked it down. Recording sounds great.

Oro: Ursa Major
Hey Oro, McBride currently touring in a trio with Brad Mehldau, will play with Kenny Barron out west, then regroups with some young lions under the name Ursa Major for a local concert in the Hanover Inn's ballroom. There's a private gathering with champagne afterwards for members only, been a while since I crashed a party...
4-6-82
I was at this show (and 4-5) also. We had floor seats about 15 rows back center. Floor seats at the Spectrum were folding metal chairs, a lot of which had seen better days. We stood on those chairs for the entire show. My buddy had bought his girlfriend a ticket somewhere just to get her in the building. We gave him a stub to get her down on the floor so we stood 5 people on 4 chairs. For some reason the people at the very front stood up on their chairs (instead of just standing) when the show started and it propagated back through the floor. The only time we sat was during set break. Leaving the show my impression was that it was really good. I got a tape soon after, then when it was released I was ecstatic.
My First Show
4/1/1980 Capitol Theater.
For April Fool's Day, they all came out and sat behind different instruments and played Promised Land.

Just because....
Just finished watching "The Residence" on netflix. Murder in the white house. Great cast 8 parts.
3/28&29/85
The Springfield shows were good, if perhaps a teeny tiny bit less explosive than Hampton, especially the 22nd!! Think I liked 3/25 better of the two Springfields?
Ended up with a DHB (moving entire rooms of books etc so need hi test) hitting the first 3/27 of Nassau, another fine outing. Frog man hasn’t showed up much yet, just a slight occasional appearance, until Today on High Time on 3/28, (though I’ve heard worse) following the fun 1 2 punch start of Truckin>Somestack! His playing is consistently good to frickin rippin throughout! Can’t believe I’ve not hit this tour before!
Man I Love 85💋🍄❤️
CM: closest…Aspen late June…Hmmmm?
4/1/80: Happy Ani Big D! I remember hearing about their little prank on the streets that year.
Love RT 4.4, one of those sneaky good-uns!
Might be due for some 82 later this year?
