Grateful Dead

"looking at you, looking at me".

also, interesting synchronicity this morning:

Mississippi half step playing in my car (7/21/74);
the car in front of me has a sticker of praying hands.
lyrics play "and prayed for better weather".
I LOVE that kind of stuff.

…but no see-gar ; )
Not quite there yet…
So today 5/5/81, then the mighty 5/6/81
Somewhere way way down in the darkest regions of cobwebia, I think I was supposed to go to the former with ole Milton Wilkelberry Steamer III?
Though I’m sure we didn’t have tix and it was a spontaneous thought, think I had a ride and a after space, but can’t recall why not? Perhaps a gig to work, though at that point I’m sure I could have missed…sigh
Goes to show, ya don’t ever know…

... okay

Edit: the 5/1/81 ETR show was sweet!
Definitely one of the years best…so far ; )

I agree but if or when they remaster those tapes, they should release the shows in their entirety. I believe Seastones was played twice, of which I heard one. I don't need to hear it again.
I can't compare the show I saw to Europe '72 as in '72 I only saw the Bickershaw show. The circumstances of that outdoor performance in adverse weather conditions make it unique.

Thank you, Simonrob - the 3-disc-set from these shows are great, but could use a new remastering..

I wasn't at those Ally Pally shows and have never been to the venue. Although I like cds I have heard from these shows, I get the impression that at the time they were slightly less celebratory than the ones played in 1972. I may be wrong, of course.

But interesting how shows get reported on as there are less people around who actually saw them. I recently got a triple album of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie et al at The Massey Hall in Toronto, 5/15/53. It's a very famous concert, in jazz circles, but in the photos accompanying the album, it looks as though the hall was only about a third full.
