    Interesting...the Brent Mydland wiki page does not reference that he was married or anything personal like that.

     

    Re Blow Away - I just remember him singnig during the "rap" portion, "you fxxxxxx bxxxch..." etc etc etc, and then pleading with crowd raise your fist in the air. Obviously he was working some demons out, but I just didn't feel motivated to raise my fist in the air...

     

    Early 80s brent was his best in my opinion...1979 Spring tour really underrated and the Spring / Summer 1980 stuff is really amazing...

     

    Starting in 1985 and 86 he had a particular tone that sounded more "poppy" and less jam band...Teh better tone returned in 87/88/89/90...But during 87-90 he started mimicing the Jerry solos a lot which always bugged me. Let Jerry play Jerry. You play rhythm or something else. At that point he didn't need your help.

     

     

    CHECK out the Far From Me on 06 September 1980...That was really well done and Jerry sizzled during the finale portion....

    Good question.

     

    The original tapes I had back in the 80s listed: Eyes of the World > Stronger Than Dirt > Song (e.g., China Doll). It certainly is not King Solomon's Marbles...

     

    I still within my head refer to it as "Stronger Than Dirt." I think it is ok...

    D17 is the 19 july 1974 show right?

     

    I used to have the audience tape of the first set. I really liked it better than the sbd. I actually have always advocated that the Bertha Deal BIODTL and Scarlet are legendary versions. The Bertha solo and Deal solos are just nailed exceptioanlly by jerry. The keith solo during biodtl is amazing. And the scarlet is a masterpiece. Jerry's soloing is really amazing along with keith dropping cool llttlle sounds...

     

    I actually alwasy liked the first set better than the second...

     

    summer 1974 was interesting. I thought some of the extended WRS jams just dragged a bit. My favorite show from summer 74 that I always seem to go back to is 20 June 1974 Atlanta...

     

    6.16 iowa was fun

    6.18 Eyes amazing, I like the WRS Other One Blues jam but I can only hear it so many times...the stella is arguably my favorite ever (better than 10.15.1977 or 9.7.73? or 8.22.1972?) The Sugar Mag Dew is stunning...

    6.22/3 - Truckin Eyes Slipknot China Doll -- never seems to get old. Compared to the rest of htis tour the band seems to have been on speed...

    miami shows - I'll always love the Dark Star Spanish US Blues.

    one of the best second sets ___ever___ was 18 July 1976 Orpheum....Simply a masterpiece....

    That show is one of the shiny nugs from that set imo. Multi track master, band in (arguably) the best form in the 80s (Fall '89, specifically), arguably the best Dark Star from the last 5 years. I really got off heavily from the upgrade from my old cassettes.

     

     

    The 10.26 first set is really strong - one of the best of the year imho.  I really like the 10.26 star but will always find the 10.16 star pitb ujb pitb to be the best dark star since 1979...Fall 89 really was a special tour...especially with the hampton shows...
