mountain bed Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 The quality of the Rockpalast show is overall very high...but Pete's presence doesn't add much. It looks like he didn't really know what to do, so he played a few tasty fills, some rhythm...not much to write home about. Still a very enjoyable show, just don't expect anything over-the-top just because Pete sits in.Yep. A few tasty fills is about it. And that's fine. I mean, the whole 'modus operandi' of The Dead and The Who are about as far apart as you can get. I'm really glad that somehow Pete and Jerry had some kind of relationship, because without a doubt they are the two of the most intellectual, philosophical men that have ever been major Rock stars. I could listen to either one all day long. Link to post Share on other sites
El Picador Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My wife survived the 6/10/73 Dark Star today. I explained to her this Dark Star is like an EF5 Dark Star. "Close your eyes and enjoy it" was out of the question. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That show, and especially set 2, is one of my very favorite sets of music ever. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Check out Saratoga '84. It's a fun show. I was at that one, dancing the whole time. XM is playing an audience recording from The Centrum on 1984-10-09, only half way through the 1st set - good stuff thus far. 14 sources at the Archive.org - never seen a show with so many sources, before.

Told my folks I was going to look at colleges in MA and NH. That SPAC '84 was fun, too. It had been raining pretty hard before the show and the rain stopped and the sun came out as Dancin' opened the show. Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Beth Orton should be an interesting guest. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I saw Beth Orton perform in the late 90's - it was pretty good from what I remember. Cassidy would be a good song choice. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Yeah. Hey, '84 is admittedly a VERY spotty year, but when it's on it's fucking ON. Mid-June through mid-July has some stellar moments, as does October. I still want my Indy show (6/30) to get the treatment. Even if it's just filler, pre-drums is teh shit.

Mountain Bed, would you care to pick and list your 10 fave shows from 1984 for us? I need some suggestions to track down. Does 12-31-84 make the cut? I dig that first set and the Shakedown opener. Greeks from 84 have some good moments, too. Link to post Share on other sites
