I'm loading up the IPOD for a few long plane rides and some driving time over the coming two weeks. So far, I've gone with: Reckoning Dick's Picks 12 (6/26/74 and 6/28/74) Dick's Picks 22 (2/21/68 and 2/22/68) 1/20/68 2/2/68 8/23/68 2/7/69E 2/7/69L 4/5/69 (thinking about swapping this and 2/7L out as I just listened to them, but they're both so damn good) 10/25/69 5/2/70 5/3/72 5/4/72 9/27/72 3/22/73 9/11/73 10/30/73 11/14/73 (this one's coming off after this listen, most likely) 12/26/79 9/12/81 Any 68/69 suggestions (outside of Fillmore West 69 or Winterland 69) that should absolutely

Indeed. That's in my top 5 tapes of alltime. Just mindblowing. This afternoon's choice - Other One trifecta! Venue San Diego International Sports Arena Location San Diego, CA Date 11/14/73 - Wednesday posters tickets, passes & laminates One Big Railroad Blues [4:00] ; Jack Straw [4:49] ; Sugaree [7:32] ; Mexicali Blues [3:25] ; Here Comes Sunshine [12:53] ; Black Throated Wind [7:00] ; Cumberland Blues [6:31] ; Row Jimmy [8:54] ; The Race Is On [3:09] ; Brown Eyed Women [5:08] ; Beat It On Down The Line [3:15] ; Tennessee Jed [8:15] ; El Paso [4:18] ; China Cat Sunflower [9:09]

So I decided I wasn't quite ready for the complete and utter mindfuck that is 8/23/68 and went with 2/7/69L instead. Holy Alligator>Caution. This is complete insanity. Highly recommend a listen to this when you're sitting somewhere safely. NOT WHILE DRIVING. You might go off the road.

I love "Illustrated Trip" for that purpose. Even if it's got a bunch of errors. That book is awesome to flip through with a show playing.

I don't. I found I disagreed with too many of the reviews, so never bought any of them.

TC's harpsichord is absolutely spine-tingling. The jam out of it on this version is especially nice. Jerry stays with the acoustic for pretty much the whole thing and it gives a nice floaty feel before Phil takes over and leads things into Dark Star. I haven't listened to any primal era dead in quite some time (which isn't uncommon - I'll often go months without listening to a pre-72 show, let alone pre-70) and I'm getting blown away all over again by this one. I think I'm gonna crank up 8/23/68 next. Once Caliber's delicate ears have left the office and I can give it the volume it

Yoga is definitely a great way to combat that urge. I find the burning crane position especially conducive to purging evil thoughts.

Have a good vacation. We're gonna miss you.

Don't mess with the Yoda. 'Nuff said I'm still not recovered. Gazpacho!
