  1. Anyone have an audio CD of Dicks Picks 28 (the February 26 / 28 1973 shows)?
  2. Spring 1983 West LA Fadewaways and Feel Like a Strangers were typically exceptional.
  3. If I had a time travel machine, the list of events i'd attend would include the 27 August 1972 show...
  4. Anyone have the actual cds or flacs for Dave's Picks Vol. 6 (02 February 1970)? I'm looking to pull the .wav files.
  5. … So I give you my eyes, and all of their lies Please help them to learn as well as to see Capture a glance and make it a dance Of looking at you looking at me…
  6. For me, the 73 horns tour was a mixed bag. I generally disliked nearly every horns rhythm and/or solo. If I remember correctly, they mainly performed during the Eyes, Let It Grow, Let me sing your blues away, with the occasional truckin'. But, that was (imho) arguably Jerry's finest year. During such horn shows, Jerry was on fire. Interesting also that the "horns" tour was 8 shows and they only performed PITB 4 times (frequency much higher for 1973 prior to and post "horns" tour).
  7. got tix for 7/22 milwaukee...can't wait...totally agree about seeing a band in their peak...
  8. totally agree that 78 had some great / amazing shows. I based my overly global opinion on the year as a whole. The CMH shows with If I had the world to give were amazing... It just to me seemed that the band was mainly interested in "ya!!!! jamm!!!!" too much. I like that as well but not every song...
  9. 1978 began to sound "drunk" if that is possible or psychedelically sloppy. It began to come apart at the seems. For a lot of the Garcia's music to work there needs to be a certain amount of structure or alignment or tightness with the band (sometimes not much but a little bit is always necessary). In 1978 that tightness was really waning and the music suffered. I think 1978 is the worst year from the 70s...(folllowed by .... 76? or maybe june 1976...or maybe january through september of 1971?)...
  10. That looseness in late 77 bore the way too loose 1978... I think vitamin H was the lead culprit.
  11. ...and on the lighter side... https://soundcloud.com/snootlyo/donna-ruins-every-playin-in-the-band
  12. It was rare that my group and I would make through a whole show on the lawn without getting split up. I never had tix in the pavillion. What was worse was after the show trying to find my tent...that took hours...
  13. The lawn is a lawless area...I got very lost on that lawn many times... In terms of the music being free, I meant the whole Garcia et al taping policy. I agree with you about spotify / rhapsody / apple music. For almost every other band I try to purchase the whole album if I like more than one song.
  14. Saw Destroyer at the High Noon Saloon in Madison Wisconsin this past Friday night. Excellent show =- mainly Ken with a mixture of Rubies. Maybe 200 people? How are they not more popular?
  15. I started with someone giving me the following _tapes_: 17 September 1982, 28 March 1985, 15 February 1973, 08 May 1977, and 27 August 1972...worked for me...
  16. Ya...30 June 1985 Merriweather Post Shakedown > Sampson is pretty amazing...
  17. I guess it's hard to describe. I mean blowing off school and putting myself at academic risk by going to Chicago for 2 nights / milwaukee for 2 nights and then minneapolis. Or, quitting through not showing up to yet another job. Or, blowing my family off. etc. etc. It was necessary to form who I am, but at a lot of those shows there was a really interesting mixture of feelings - complete joy and ebullience on the one hand, and fear on the other. Not for every show, but for a lot of them...And returning home and accomplishing what i needed to accomplishing made it all worthwhile. I could have
