I've talked about this at least once in the Youtube thread - but I have that film on video. I caught it on A&E - before they became the crime and punishment channel, they use to run cool films like that.

Damn. Isn't that the show that the Cryptical > Other One is dedicated to Owsley? I think I have about half of that show here somewhere.

Even though the 7/26/72 show isn't the first thing you'd think of when discussing killer '72 shows, this one has some gems. I've always loved the Dark Star from this show, and the Comes A Time that it goes into is very sweet.

 

The following banter gives me the impression that Monsieur Lesh might have been at the blow just a bit:

 

Bobby: As you might have noticed, Pigpen isn't with us tonight. He's back home sick, and recovering...

 

Phil (sounding very smarmy): Yeah, yeah, we'll send along your best wishes to him...if that's OK with you.

First up, from the Fillmore West in San Francisco, we have the show closer and encore from 8/21/68, consisting of Lovelight and Midnight Hour. Lovelight wasn't yet the 25+ minute tune it would become in 1969, but it was a big show-stopper nonetheless. And Midnight Hour was becoming more and more rare throughout 1968 and into 1969, so a nice, meaty version like this is certainly a treat. There isn't a lot of 1968 material in the vault, but fortunately what IS there is very good, so it's our pleasure to bring this to you here at the Tapers Section.

 

Next up, from exactly four years later on 8/21/72, just over the Bay Bridge (or the Golden Gate Bridge and Richmond Bridge if you feel like taking the long way through Marin County), at the Berkeley Community Theatre, we have the big second set jam featuring Dark Star>El Paso>Dark Star>Deal. This was the second annual August run of shows at BCT for the Grateful Dead, a tradition that unfortunately did not continue past these shows in 1972. The Grateful Dead did return to BCT until the six night run in 1984, which, of course, featured the first-ever Tapers Section, so the BCT certainly does hold special meaning to all tapers, and to this, the cyber version of the Tapers Section.

A nice surprise in the mails this week - I actually got a "GD Almanac" for the first time in a long long time. I'm guessing 2-3 years?

 

Anyone else get this? Blair Jackson and Gary Lambert - contributors.

Not yet. A pal told me he got one earlier in the week, too. I miss getting the hardcopy.

Yep.

 

It has a nice Easy Wind poster that is now gracing a wall in my garage.

Yeah I got one last week. I've already recycled it, but it said it had been many years (can't remember the exact number) since they had sent out hard copy Almanacs. When i got it, it didn't even occur to me that I hadn't received one in a long time.

Bump for the 8/24/72 BCT show. I only have bits and pieces of this show, but the Dead Hour I have on cassette has the Dark Star > Dew combo.

 

For a long time this was perhaps my favorite "Star". A real unique (up to that time) version - Kieth smears electric piano over cross-rhythms set up by the rest of the band, giving this a real Miles Davis "Bitches Brew"-era feel. Very strange soundworlds are explored here. I highly recommend this version - I like it better than the legendary 8/27 version.

I had a request for the July 18, 1972, show at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, so I figured may as well share the sendspace links, in case anyone else wants it. This may take a while -- massive show -- but have fun!

This week at the Tapers Section, we have some great music from 1969, 1972 and 1982. It was always funny to be at Club Front in Novato when Jeffrey and I would work on something from 1982 or later after working on so much late 1960s and early 1970s material, as we'd say that working on 1982 or 1989 was working on something
