Storyteller makes no choice, soon you will not hear his voice, his job is to shed light, not to master!
Live it, learn it!
btw, thank's Jer. 8.9.95
Had to do some work to get your link to link but glad I did --- not usually one to focus on much past the '77 run but your terrapin > drums > dew recommendation is really tasty.Quote:

I just can't stay away from that site. Too much!
May '77.....if that was a wine vintage, none of us would be able to afford it.
Probably my favorite show of all time. I remember when I wore my tape out of this show. I think it was in my car stereo for a good 9 months at one point.

LOVE that 3-22-90 Copps show. Awesome stranger, and that scarlet>fire is THE FIRE. If you listen closely you can hear Bobby shriek during the jam.
Just finished listening to 5-9-77, great opening version of Help->Slipknot-> Franklin's
This day in GD history: Springfield Creamery Benefit, 8/27/72
(the full version is on Youtube)
This is worth the perusal:

I think I have something like 450 gb of music & 850+ gb of movies/tv shows on my external hard drive all set for iTunes. It is better to have than less, I say.
Plus, the Help on the Way> Slipknot!> Franklin's Tower absolutely kicks ass in that show. I think that is the opener for set #2, if I remember correctly.Quote:

I know this is going to probably get me kicked in the stones, but is there anyone else out there who really dug the tone of the boys during 1989/90? Brent was definitely my favorite on the keys and there was something about the tone they had during that period (Without a Net era) that makes my boner pop.
There was a great show at RFK 1989.07.04, with an unbelievable Blow Away, one of Brent's finest. I also just grabbed a good Matrix of 1989.04.15, with a nice Terrapin in the second set.Quote:

Nothing wrong with any year GD to me, Rev. In Fall 89, Wolf came out of retirement and Jerry had a Roland synth interface installed which is responsible for a lot of that tour's sound. He started using Rosebud shortly thereafter in early '90, which was also MIDI equipped.
whoops, looks like that link I posted above is no good.

Yeah, went to an excellent Chinese New Year show at Kaiser in 1989. Someone can look it up...from memory, Not Fade Away, Tenn Jed, Alabama Getaway (I think)...
i hit ~ 40 shows in 87' alone, including full east and west, and 4 Lunt Fontanne, including both on my birthday (halloween), and the New years run. Was my most prolific year, I think. Still have masters from almost all of them. Which, likely, I will never listen to again what with all of the stuff coming out now.
That said, so much up and down, at times in the taper pits I actually wished I were taping some other show that might have been in town, etc. We even had a taper bowling league in cities with longer runs, where we would trade versions, compare notes, even burn from DAT's while bowling, etc.
Good times...strange times.
Interesting times...
Without the Pig, it ain't the Dead
Before we go too far down this mamby-pamby 80s and 90s path of middle-aged (albeit talented) musicians going through the motions 95% of the time, let's think about 1969 through early 1971 as providing far and away the most consistent transportation to that unique good ol' Grateful Dead vibe >>> they still had the youthful, LSD-based energy so prevalent in ‘68 but had become really superior musicians with Pigpen as the wild card (it is noted in the book “A Long Strange Trip” that Jerry thought the band lost something vital when Pig died). So you get 1969 (when Dark Star and Lovelight took you from one side of the universe to the other), through 1970 (the legendary 10-hour concerts with the NRPS called “An Evening with the Grateful Dead”) up to the closing of the Fillmore East in April, 1971 (the pinnacle for high-energy musicianship before they started drifting down through Europe ’72 to the way-mellow world of 73 and 74). It's certainly well-known but take some time to listen to 5-15-70 (http://www.archive.org/details/gd70-....97.sbeok.shnf - one of the relatively few 1970 soundboards as, with Owsley in jail, the taping became sporadic) >> the jam out of the space in Dark Star is, in my very, very humble opinion, the best piece of electronic music ever created while the Lovelight shows why a huge number of Deadheads came to these shows for the "Revival" of Pigpen's nothins-better-than-gettin'-laid evangelical sermons.
Oh for fuck's sake dude.Quote:

The article's a couple months old but I hadn't seen it even though we get the magzine, just thought it might be of interest. If you plug "Grateful Dead" into the search box on newyorker.com a lot of interesting stuff comes up from as far back as the mid-'60's. Worth checking out if you're so inclined.
Thank you for bumping this thread and inspiring me to listen to a nice, tight '73 Here Comes Sunshine.
Hmm, really didn't care for this one. Thought the quality of playing was a B+ which was completely offset by the recording quality of a C-Quote:

Did they ever not rip the roof off in lakeland Fl?
And : this one 11/30/80 go there....
And of course for you late 80's fans this one from my backyard delivers.

I listened to this one from a different source. Better quality. I thought the play was typical for that tour, which was generally excellent. Not the best but pretty damn entertaining.Quote:
