Grateful Dead

I was fortunate enough to go to all 3 Greek shows. My favorite was 6/14/85, its one of my favorite shows that I saw at the Greek.

For 59 sure sounds fine...

...With me at least.

Thanks Strat-Wolf-Bean. Hope I remembered that right. Meant to post yesterday.

Edit: Wonder if they hold off until last minute, trying to get as many boxes sold before the announcement.

What a drag that so many of our friends are having problems with their orders. Mine went through, no problemo, first try. I'm sure it'll all sort out. All good things in all good time. But it sounds like there's some frustration out there.
Meanwhile, I can't be anything but stoked about this box. I wondered for so many years why none of the '80s shows from the Greek were getting released, and now we got one in ETR and now three in this box. Pretty pretty pretty good.

Still listening to Dave's Picks 18
I did Garcia Live Vol. 20 yesterday while doing some computer work.
Damn, I missed a lot here in a few days....
They kinda screwed up the timing on this one?

What I’m listening to is my wife freaking out over now five PayPal authorisations for the box and P@P, each resulting in the dead store failing to complete the order owing to an address or other unexpressed reason?

Anyone else?

Regular sub to DP’s for a while now and haven’t missed a box since Cornell 77 … It’s not like I’ve moved to the extremely harsh environs of Europa or Ganymede….

What’s gives GD store, and why is there almost always some devilish level of anxiety attached to purchasing anything from you, ever? Just to restate, STYF limited and T-shirt arrived, so again, it ain’t “me”… Is anyone listening and can anyone help, or point me to an avenue that leads to assistance? Much love all.

For what it’s worth, the post pavilion show was one of my very first tapes and it got played to ruin. I converted a brick and concrete cow shed (building) into four stables, solo, on that tape. (And a Richmond 90, Vince’s second show I believe? Beautiful Eyes,Estimated,Terrapin and superb Watchtower , Stella, Throwing, NFA to end if I recall? Very tight and controlled show but remained organic and went pretty deep despite it being a new lineup. You could tell they’d been rehearsing and shock horror! It made for some great live dead!)

Browsing the 85 summer tour setlists and reviews from 85, this new box is already screaming for a 2nd volume (TOO).

Hey rockers!!!

In a way, Summer 85 was akin to Summer 84. Motorcycled to both. 84, got to Toronto dry, got soaked on way to SPAC. 85, got to SPAC dry, got soaked on way to Hershey.

SPAC 85 was the only Dead show I did solo. Was a beautiful day, nice leisurely ride out on the bike, had a lawn ticket and a few doobies, really enjoyable day. Enjoyed the second set a lot.

Hershey, we got soaked but we were singin' in the rain, interesting first set, solid second set. My brother and one of my best friends were supposed to meet me there on their bikes, but LOL they chickened out. Had a nice---and dry---solo ride home..............

Summer 85 was a good time for the Dead, looking forward to the box............

What makes old age hard to bear is not the failing of one's faculties, mental and physical, but the burden of one's memories......

Rock on,

Doc
When memories fade, can one ever really return home?

Hi All! I hope everyone has been doing well. I have been out and about over the past few months so I haven't been too active in the comments. I am finally slowing down and we get this announcement. I know that many of us (myself included) have long since asked for a box set from summer 1985. I was just commenting on this a week ago on a page or two I follow on Facebook. Dave L and the crew never disappoint. Also, I do believe Dave L. may be lurking on these abords. So if you are Dave, I just want to say thank you!

During COVID, and upon a recommendation from many of the regulars in the comments, I did a listen to all of the summer 85 shows. I loved it and now we are getting this box and I am very happy. I am going to resist listening to these shows on the archive. September 18th can't come soon enough.
