Definitely. And, of course, the departure of the Godchaux's in Feb and the arrival of Brent in April being the key factor. The fall shows from '79 are stellar: the S. Yarmouth shows, New Haven (probably my favorite "Passenger"), Buffalo (amazing "Jack Straw" ends 1st set, amazing Dancing-> Franklin's opens 2nd set), Brent tunes starting to enter repertoire ("Easy to Love You" in August). Ollin Arageed is still in the mix, etc.

Love the Half-step opener from W&M, as well as the Passenger that follows. The Boston Music Hall show is a high-tempo show. Love the noodling in the Bertha jam! Cool you got to go to both. And yeah, the Cameroon/Duke video , second set in particular, is insane (cue final notes of U.S. Blues, for but one example).

This descriptive '78 sound (and there is plenty of material from '78 to enjoy) is not helped by the strung-out and almost comical contributions from Keith. There are shows where all he does, literally, is mimic Garcia's notes for most of the show. It's brutal to try and separate him out of the mix to try and appreciate what would otherwise be decent listens.

Ah. I forgot about this: "In the predawn hours of June 20th, while the band was back home in Marin County during a break, Hart left a local club show and lost control of his car. He crashed through a guardrail, and only a tree on the side of the road prevented the car from falling into a ravine. Hart emerged with a broken collarbone, smashed ribs and a broken arm. "I opened my eyes [in the hospital] and Jerry was there: 'You look like shit!'" he says. Hart recuperated, thanks to almost two months of rehab, but the incident was a sign that there were more troubles ahead. Stuck in an unhappy m

Yeah, like a horse-riding accident or something.

Are you thinking of Billy breaking his wrist in fall '78? He played with a cast on his arm for a spell...

You gonna masturbate to it or something?

Hmm. I would likely remember if it was called the Playboy Club, but maybe. The manager questioned them while we were sucking down endless Rum and Cokes by the pool about me being there (I was pretty shabby). One of the dudes chewed them out saying I was their guest and everything. A little awkward but hell it wasn't my dime. Ka-POW!

Ha! Came out a little sideways, I suppose.

Stayed at some swank resort on Lake Geneva on the off night in '88. Two dudes I met took me back to shower, swim, and party favors for a day/night. The two guys ended up being buddies with my future girlfriend. Weird.

Good band.They were just out here for 3 nights.

The only time I've been to Alpine was for GD in '88 for 4 days.That hill on the lawn is steep as hell.

Not a bad price, but i still reported you for making a Dead & Co reference.

YES!!

Spotify has all these. Great to just pick a spot and click play. I don't mind the lack of "flow" and actually enjoy the randomness factor and trying to guess eras, years, dates, shows with each tune before looking.

Marched in Denver with my wife and two of our kids an in-laws. Nice weather!

Yes. I've known Jay since 1995. When I moved out here, I lived in Boulder with him and a pal I knew from New Hampshire. Jay opened the original Quixote's not long after. I was at Be On Key's Saturday morning (we parked in the lot for the Woman's march) and they had coffee and snacks inside before the march.

Catering to both the teetotaler and the wine-drinking crowds?

You guys played my friend's place in Denver a couple years ago, no? Quixote's?

For me, I have heard of Larry McMurtry for 30-some years. James, maybe 8-10, and own none of his discs but appreciate his tunes when I hear them. It's not an automatic connection, I guess, for most people who know one or the other in a casual sense.

In the "awkward yet somewhat humorous" flubbed lyrics department, I came across this last night. If you are bored and want a head-shaking chuckle, check out the second "verse" of this Bertha from Brendan Byrne 10.11.89...: https://archive.org/details/gd89-10-11.sbd.clugston.6668.sbeok.shnf/gd89-10-11d1t02.shn

I've never seen more tattoos than when taking the kids to Water World.

It wouldn't shock me. The Telluride Bluegrass Fest has, for at least the past 22 yrs or so when I first went, had non-Bluegrass acts playing. Usually, acts in the same vein of the vibe there, at least. I've never seen Metallica at it.

I recognized about 7 total acts from that poster and am fine with that. Bonnaroo is none of my business....
