That JFK '89 show is the Crimson White and Indigo release. Just this past Sunday I had the house to myself, popped in the DVD and watched the second set. An outstanding show! I had forgotten how great this show was. Seeing Jerry engaged and into it definitely tugged at my heart. A great year for the Dead, and I can't speak to having listened to every show, but this one has to be up there. Great topic, I need to give it some thought.

The "strangest" (and "WORST") comes quickly to mind: Zak Wylde filling in for DIckey Betts with the Allmans at Great Woods, Betts was arrested in Albany the night before. I can't stand everything about Zak Wylde. There must be many more "strangest" but not "worst" for me, I'll have to give it some thought. Right now my brain has been shutdown by the memory of Wylde and that bullseye guitar on stage with the Allmans.

Just go. You shouldn't go through life without getting to see Derek and Warren play together. Chances are dwindling.

No Solid Sound this year, but you can see Beck at MassMoCA on June 24, tix on sale tomorrow http://www.jambands.com/news/2014/03/11/beck-adds-spring-and-summer-tour-dates/#.Ux8-F86wWBp

They are playing 2 days at the Lockn Festival September 4-7.

Don't know why that would be, but I'm not here to defend Mayer from all this criticism out there. May be well deserved for all I know. But sticking to the music, the guy is a phenomenal guitarist, and I especially like the blues format of the Trio. He "found" the Grateful Dead last year while holed up in Montana recovering from throat surgery and all his Hollywood douchiness. Said was making it his mission to introduce a generation to the music of the Dead. Saw him at Crossroads this year, did a new song Queen California that totally channeled Garcia. Swear he turned the Garden into a 199

Are the vinyl discs 2 colors, green and blue?

Watched one of the Seth Myers shows from this week. Had the John Mayer Trio, with Chick Corea. Mayer was wearing a jacket, when he turned around he had a big Stealie embroidered on the back of his jacket.

Don't let it go! Fight your husband for it, he's already seeing 2 shows Just saw Relix posted Butch said they're going to do some touring in October and then wrap up the year with a show at MSG.

Any VC'ers making it to the final Beacon run? I've got tickets for the 25th. Starts tonight, the 25th seems like a long way away.

On Conan tonight.

I'm willing to bet your jaw will drop countless times.

To add to your continuing astonishment (and mine too), there's a thread on the Hoffman Music Forum, Embarking on a GD Journey. It's actually now 2 threads, as it's been continued into a second one. Some fantastic posts there. Here's the link to the beginning of the second thread, the first entry will take you back to the start. Hope you have a lot of time. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/embarking-on-a-grateful-dead-journey-all-purpose-thread-second-set.343616/

Thanks for the head's up! Haven't heard this year's shows yet, but the past years shows are among my favorite things to listen to.

And a great show that was Mizzy. Still puts a smile on my face every time I listen to it. Sent from my Windows Phone using Tapatalk

Sitting around the house in the wee hours of Saturday morning listening to a Wilco show with my wife, it dawned on me just how much I'm missing Wilco. Looks like 2014 will be a barren Wilco year. Hoping for the best for Sue and all the guys. Solid Sound 2015 is a long way away (478 days according to my counter), can't get here fast enough for me.

I'm very late to the DBT party. Really liking English Oceans, very much. Been through the disc 2x today, and some extra listens to Primer Coat. Love that song.

Yea, never heard of a slow day at work! Hah. No, I was referring to anyone not liking Europe '72 Dead.

Happy Mardi Gras! I'm celebrating by streaming WWOZ at the office. http://www.wwoz.org/listen/player/

I've never heard of such a thing.

Can't get the video to load, here or directly on YouTube.

English Oceans now on Spotify.
