Tapers Section #999
So next week will be the 1000th Tapers Section - will it be a special one?
Chrotchfester 85!!!
Boo-Yah, PROPER!
Seeing that She Belongs (2nd of 2 we were fortunate to see) will always be in my top live GD highlights!
And Those 2 shows and all that went down will always be some of the best experiences of my life!
Bobby
Still in Shock. For the one who seemed to have his INNER BLISS. Hope there is a Tapers Section or a JOTW letting Bobby Shine. To all the Dead Heads and to Dave and Co. Have to do some artwork from memory. Weir Wasserman is very clear in my mind. I'll find a way to post it. cYa! Bobby!
The shows
The 71,79 and 85 were all must see shows. We got it all in a Tapers Section that is Smokin.. Grab the IA for all shows. Deadeasy has a good question, Will the JOTW or Next Monday be a Bobby tune getting the ball rolling. TOO, Lost Sailor/Saint. Even a killer " Stuck inside of Mobile with those Memphis blues again. Anything Bobby. Not sure we would still be playing 30 DOD if it were not for Bobby and Phil.
11-14-71
A TOO for the ages.
Phil fans tune in around 18 min.
You will not be disappointed.
Cheers
Whoa, this is what it's all about! Priceless segment. Defines us.
