Grateful Dead

39 years ago I was up in Oakland for Garcia's 1st show back with the Dead, all I can say is you should have been there. Garcia kicked it off with Touch of Grey and the crowd just exploded! Like I say you had to be there. What a great birthday present.

from the new 2CD release

If you don't already have this - run, don't walk - and find yourself a copy

exquisite - a shining jewel

once again

this beautiful beautiful To Lay Me Down

To lie with you once more, to lie with you
With our dreams entwined together
To wake beside you, my love still sleeping

With the latest Dave's pick, the Garden box and the ETR box, I had to revisit the 5-19-81 at Cornell from 30 trips. 1981 really had some grate life to it.

DiP 19 Disc 3 easily one of my all time freaking favorite slices of released archival GD. Pure magic. Mind Left Body

Listening now.

OKC, 10/19/73. I kinda feel this gets forgotten about. Why, I have no idea.

the "review" in Compendium was less-than-complimentary

While it's not 8/27/72, it still has some good stuff.

Some of those compendium reviews were very off-target, written by some very cranky yutzes.

12/15/78 later

PEACE for ALL!

This is in line with all the Mickey & the hart beats gigs.
I know it’s Harvey and Jerry, unclear who else.
More than likely members of the Elvin bishop group.
I’m listening to the 36 min. Jam that goes into “Don’t Fight it”
Bad ass stuff…..Harvey is one of mt heroes !
This came in a box set of Harvey’s called the snake box !

last nights show again prepping for his final intimate show in Austin tonight thank you Nugs.
