Can’t get enough of this show
Remember spilling over the wall and slithering up front of Jerry - hot as shit- he lit it up - shakedown opener- jack straw - west la’s a smokeshow- good times good times…
I went to JFK two days before and my buddy and I decided to stay in Jersey for the next day at another friends house in Cherry Hill, we had only planned on the Philly show, but we ended up on the floor at Giants Stadium, so glad we made it! Drove back to NH that night with no money for the toll on the GW, we just drove right past the booth!
Well done that toll didn’t apply!
Agreed.Quote:

The full Weather Report Suite is some of the best of the best, maybe Bobby’s greatest contribution.

Mile-wide smile on that railbird @4:57 in the video, (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya6gEGpCieI&t=297s). This dude is all over the final cut concert footage for the film, non-stop boogie.

There's something to be said about being part of a packed stadium-sized crowd, all grooving on the same vibe, but those pre late-80's days before the Dead picked up a massive audience were pretty special. Can't think of a better setting than the Greek Theater in Berkeley on a spring day. Very nice listen - thx for posting.Quote:

This is one of those cuts that you could hand to a non-believer and say, "this is why."Quote:

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Yup, they were sure flying high at that point. Nice that Jerry decided to make a movie and capture it for posterity. I've seen bits and pieces before online, but this is the cleanest version I've come across.

Unfortunately, Jerry had just been introduced to Persian in Europe of ‘74 and the pressure of editing that movie and the time off in ‘75 sent him deep down the rabbit hole.
RIP Brent… 33 years ago today.
From his last show and 3 days before he died…
That just doesn't seem possible, does it? Nor '95 fast coming up on 30. Sigh.Quote:

Just saw jgb with Melvin seals in Maine. They were pretty good, fake Jerry sounds like real Jerry. I think it’s a different Jerry then when I last saw them 15 years ago but still putting on a tight show.
Gone back to my one of favorite mini tours back in the day -
Summer 85
Saratoga - Hershey- merriweather - Pittsburgh
They meant business!
Get some!

In our 16/17 year old minds, Saratoga was way closer than Hershey or Baltimore so friends and I only saw the SPAC show. Turns out that given the perennial traffic jam at SPAC both other venues would have been better. Of course we did get to enjoy Jerry with 40k other people back when the full lawn was part of the music venue (now cut off by beer vendors).Quote:

Jerry’s Birthday today.
And so it begins....

"People need celebration in their life. It's part of what it means to be human. We need magic and bliss and power, myth, and celebration in our lives. And music is a good way to encapsulate a lot of it." - Jerry Garcia
I like Licorice.
But do you really like licorice?
Get past the cheesy intro and this is a nice compilation of a lot of different folks thinking about and celebrating the life of Jerry Garcia, which is what I'm doing today as well.

I believe this is the first known recording of Jerry - 1962.

Hunh, Jerry was a leftie. I must not have been paying much attention.Quote:

I think that image is flipped. I've never seen him play left. Maybe there is more to the story?Quote:

Yes, the image is flipped, I was being sarcastic.
