  1. Shit, I did the same thing when looking the show up and kept getting only a P&F show...

  3. They opened up for the Grateful Dead at Buckeye Lake the previous year. I didn't go but reports from those who did were solid. My wife got me back into them a couple years ago....
  4. Not Trump: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/09/24/us/elections/donald-trump-statements.html?_r=0
  5. I thought the same but I've already "added" too much to this thread. And, I can't shake the image.
  6. Just went back to this Cap Center show with the first Touch. They open the show with a Playin' and go back to it 3 more times throughout the show. Cool. I like the Touch's from the beginning goes of it, too.. https://archive.org/details/gd1982-09-15.fob.tigerrose.howard.andrewf.81690.sbeok.flac16
  7. Right?! It was only the 4th time it'd been played (first time at Cap Center in Landover on the 15th)!!
  8. I was at this show too and the only thing that really sticks out was me kind of wandering around on my own and settling into a side seat and when they opened 2nd set with Touch some older 'head next to me asking me if I knew what tune it was (I didn't) but not in an inquisitive manner but rather in a snarky manner. WhenI said "no I don't" he scoffed/chuckled and said "yeaaaaaah, I remember MY first show!" That son of a bitch scarred me for life as my first show was in same venue but spring of '81.
  9. He switched the keyboard systems up a bit (while maintaining the B-3 the whole time, I believe) but maybe the sounds you're mentioning started with the MIDI stuff that Bralove started adding to their instruments in '87 or so....
  10. Schiiling being Schilling, unfortunately. His numbers (wins, ERA, etc.) are lacking in comparison to other modern day HOF pitchers. Dude never even won a Cy Young award. I guess character is still judged, too, Curt.
  11. Have to take umbrage with this. The band. live, is as good as they have ever been (hi '97!), imo. The (Other Band They Are Often Compared To) played a lot of their tunes from their "college" days,too, if you will, Their whole career from '65-95. Phish (much like another band I'm fond of) don't shine in the studio. Their lyrics, for the most part, have typically been inane, often childish. Nobody goes to see Phish for their lyrics, though.I honestly don't see exhaustion, but a really. really fun and exhuberant time they are in.....
  12. Thanks for reminding me of this tune. What a great song....
  13. Bono on Trump, today. I guess he came out of his shell: http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/21/politics/bono-donald-trump/
  14. Or like Dan Rather tickling Kim Jong-un and saying "cootchie cootchie coo"....
  15. Yeah, awesome show/set. The Dew is excellent, High Time sticks out, as well, and the Spanish Jam...
  16. Here's another one: 6.8.90 Cal Expo, particularly 2nd set: Uncle John's BandChina Cat SunflowerI Know You RiderEstimated ProphetFoolish HeartdrumsThe WheelI Need a MiracleBlack PeterSugar MagnoliaU.S. BluesBesides everything else in this set, the "Foolish Heart" is one of my favorite versions and leads to a fantastic jam pre-Drums, where eventually it was just Garcia and Brent on stage.
  17. No (I was at the 2 Hartford shows just before this one). The overall tone of this show is fantastic as is the overall playing. The Sugaree (opener, no less!) is a monster at over 16 minutes. The Esau and Deal are both excellent in the 1st set, as well. EVERYTHING in the second set is gold, imo. The "Touch" is real swing-like and twangy (Bob's guitar sounds the whole show have a certain twang to them). Garcia's voice is just a bit road-weary and nasally and hits the heart. The ""To Lat Me Down" is top-notch, with Bob slightly muffing a harmony towards the end of the verses part. Everyt
  18. I've been stuck on Lake Placid '83 for for over 30 yrs.... Also, I think Throwing Stones really grew into a great musical piece (same as Victim or the Crime). Some of the improv work in the jams were just fantastic. Bob's rapid-pace strumming playing off Garcia's high notes....that song was sometimes the highlight of a show for me if it was really full ON. Yes on all of this.
  19. Just "Breath and Burning" (it's ok) and "Miss You" (bah!) both of which they played this summer. I like "Blaze On " a lot live, too, but haven't heard the album version.
  20. I never could quite fully hop on board with Just a Little Light (the fucking high-pitched novelty-like keyboard spasms, I think)
  21. That IS a cringe-worthy line, but in fairness, Barlow wrote it. Heh.
  22. It's a little cheesy but I like the harmonies in it and Garcia's (usually) lilting guitar work. It was apt for the time, too, as the GD had done work for the Rainforest benefit(s), etc. Plus, any time Brent takes lead vocals I'm down with it....
