Just heard the Promised Land on the radio - sounded good, never heard Jerry sound so much like Chuck before (tone wise). Like Pigpen's simple organ riffs, too. Saw this cd and record at the store last weekend, but did not get either.

Only an audience recording of the Chicago 5/12 is out there. I do have some of the 5/13 Chicago show, it was bonus disc to the Winterland 77 shows. Beside that, I did not have any of the shows - of course that changed yesterday. Probably will listen to them and decide if I want to purchase the set.

So, did you enjoy Chicago, Shug?

Think I enjoy the Fox Theater, St. Louis, MO 2/2/70 show better on Dave's Picks Vol. 6 - I think TC overplays on the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA 12/20/69 show and I don't think he was a good fit on the newer material (Cumberland, Speedway, Uncle, & High Time). I haven't gotten to the Bonus disc, yet.

I enjoy that REM one, too.

The next box-set with be shows from May, 77. http://www.jambase.com/Articles/118539/Grateful-Dead-Channel-To-Preview-New-Box-Set-May-%2777

Only listened to the St. Louis show - think it's good, esp. Jerry's playing.

Thanks for the review - a very decent recording of the show popped up. It's up at Dime a Dozen if you are interested. Even can hear the train whistles and sirens....

Were you able to get any pics? Enjoy the show?

Who taped it?

That's kinda hard to believe that Dylan's camp signed off on that. Maybe he's softening up in his old age - he definitely ain't getting any prettier, though.

They only post I like in this thread.

I think Stewart was always "on-stage" when he played - tucked in the piano section, but clearly visible --- He may have not have been introduced all the time, but I think that his own doings - he did not want to be introduced.

As I wrote Blondie Chaplin plays off stage (at times) - also it has been mentioned that Pierre De Beauport (Keith's guitar tech) plays at times --- I have never "seen" that - I know Pierre is credited on some studio records as "guitar player". And like Jules - I spotted Blondie behind the piano riser at the United Center. Also good point, Bosco, regarding Bralove - I thought of him earlier. I always thought Healy just like f'ing with Weir vocals and that's it.

It's up on their website, too --- that's a bummer. http://furthur.net/

Blondie Chaplin plays (or at least use to) guitar quite a bit off stage with the Stones. Chaplin is introduced as a singer and does sometimes play on stage with his guitar, but at times when he is playing guitar, he is off stage, or behind the piano riser. I am not a big fan of this type of set up, either.

Yeah an "aw-shucks". Glad it all appears to be okay. Looking forward to the next Dave's Pick installment - haven't gotten a shipping email, yet. Lastly, happy 4/29/71 - my first tape (I believe). (oddly enough, my 13th wedding aniversy, too).

Ok, maybe you can take a break for that. I did read that Weir left in a ambulance. And yes, Lammy - he definitely is a busy dude. Gans always says he got (kids) college tuitions to pay off.

Didn't Bobby have a similar episode last year or so? Wish him the best. And yes - gotta keep playing no matter what.

My earliest musical memories are of George Jones. He had a good run - kinda surprised he lived so long - hell of life.

That was rough. I thought I had a bad night last night....

Think you going be happy - Weir has been added to the Tampa bill..... Weir is only playing the first few shows. Too bad only the first few. Everybody better be quiet while he's playing, too.

I think he has a couple of them - the suit and guitar is part of a Midwest Rock & Roll exhibit. I think there is more info in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thread. http://viachicago.org/topic/38353-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/
