Grateful Dead

Listening to this awesome fiddle player. Came across him via BMFS. Got tix to seem him next month at The Kent Stage. "Four dead in O-Hi-O."
Edit: I've always referred to my golf course gig as my fun job. Colleagues used to ask me all the time why I did it.

What a Gem of a Boxset.

1st Show - I also got the root beer vinyl version of Tony Rice's Manzanita. I always liked Backwaters too. It's got that killer version of My Favorite Things.

My most of the time favorite show from the July 78 box. I had 7/8/78 back in the day, but 7/7 was revelation when the box arrived.

“Caa La fff ooorn ya, knock knockin on the golden door”
3/21/93 first set very nice, currently on China Cat, lil vocal flub but off to the races now…
3/22/93 Schlater…

PF: though I really dug and liked most of the set list better from 3/14, 3/15 prolly is the overall better show? Not a bad run, wish I’d seen shows like this at the end. Still pissed I missed HCS and LSD!

Joey, 3/19 the end of that first set is really something eh!

No worries Ron, just making convo…you made me think of my old man who only made it a few months after retirement before he got a job at the neighborhood hardware store for something to do, but ended up working there for 13 years lol.

UT: “people are saying…” in best dumpster voice ; )

The Tony Rice Unit - Manzanita
Superb high quality newgrass from 1978.
Stellar line up :

Sam Bush
Jerry Douglas
Darol Anger
David Grisman
Todd Philips

Nice mix of traditionals like Little Sadie, Blackberry Blossom, Blue Railroad Train, and Nine Pound Hammer as well as some written by Tony, Herb Petersen, Norman Blake, and Gordon Lightfoot.
This is a treat on root beer vinyl. Yum.
Cheers

and earlier today during morning routine I listened to part of 7/7/78 set 1 which included...Passenger.
Nice.
Looking forward to hearing set 2 of 7/7/78 sometime soon.
It's been a while.

Hearts were too cold
Seasons had frozen us
Into our souls

3/19/77
I like this one the best of these 3 so far. Jerry is really on his game. I may go down another 77 rabbit hole... I should jump back to March 73 before its too late.
These March 77 recordings are courtesy of the kind and generous man with all of the tunes :)

Yeah, that's pretty much what I do. All day.

....perfect earbud/music time.
