calvino Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Love this show. Mostly because I have a signed framed poster hanging in my office GD-Hill Aud.jpgYes indeed! I was there, another memorable day/night. That's cool - who signed it. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 That's cool - who signed it.Should have made that clear- the poster artist, Gary Grimshaw. I have hanging at home a GD promo photo from Arista from the In the Dark promo signed by Garcia and Weir. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Listening to this Springfield '78 during work break and forgot how great the show is. It's an official release. The "Dancin" is very spirited with some laughter and goofiness in the beginning and shenanigans at the end. The "Werewolves" encore is smokin', too. I often overlook '78 for some reason in deference to 77 or 79 when selecting a show to play....https://archive.org/details/gd78-05-11.aud.vernon.6317.sbeok.shnf Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Both Gans and Jackson are my favorite two GD related writers/interviewers --- looking forward to the below book. http://cloudsurfing.gdhour.com/archives/8066 From Gans' blog: I wonder if this new book will be in the same format as Playing In The Band or maybe it will along the lines of that Allman Brothers book?

calvino Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Not sure how the Playing book was laid-out - can't remember if I read it (I am sure I checked it out from a library at one point - I do recall the Playing book cover). I am guessing it will be like the ABB book. Gans' Conversations with the Dead is a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I have that Playing In The Band book. It is a bunch of interviews and quotes arranged to fit certain topics. I bought it back in the early 1990s I think. I have not read the Conversations book. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Gans' s Conversations... book is excellent. There're interviews with Healy and Owsley in there, too, iirc. Link to post Share on other sites
i'm only sleeping Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Some good selections in this year's 30 days of Dead (http://www.dead.net/30daysofdead). I finally got to like even Box of Rain, thanks to Donna harmonizing and, in a way, overlaying Phil voice's scarce melodic skills (I'm challenging you, Donna haters!).

El Picador Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Easily one of the finest shows of 1979...May 7, 1979... https://archive.org/details/gd79-05-07.glassberg.vernon.18877.sbeok.shnf Love me some Barry Glassberg. I wonder what ever happened to that guy. Link to post Share on other sites

But Fall '78 paves the way for what's going to happen in '79 - I'm thinking specifically about Jerry's guitar tone here. The show you linked is the "mescaline sulfate" show. WACKY stuff in the Dancin' & Werewolves. Gans' s Conversations... book is excellent. There're interviews with Healy and Owsley in there, too, iirc.That is a nice read.

worldrecordplayer Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The final Stormy Mondays column is a good one, keeping with the '74 theme, the second set from the "final" show, 10-20-74. I assume everyone's heard this, but if not check it out, and if so, no harm in listening again! http://www.jambase.com/Articles/123665/Stormy-Mondays-The-First-Final-Grateful-Dead-Show Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Rumor mill on dead.net has it that there will be some August '71 Dead pooting forth in 2015, part of the "houseboat tapes" stash. That led me to check out the 8/14/71 show on archive.org and holy cannoli, this has some smokin' versions of classic Dead. If ol' Dave chooses this for a Pick, I might forgive him all his previous errors. https://archive.org/details/gd71-08-14.sbd.ladner.21268.sbeok.shnf Check out Hard to Handle. Jerry is on fire!

calvino Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If hard pressed -- I'd pick 1971 being my favorite Gratful Dead year. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The second set of this PhilRAD show happening right now is pretty damn good. Really looking forward to seeing JRAD in Boston in 2015 Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Received the Garcia Live Vol. 5 (1975 NYE w/ a fucked up Nicky Hopkins) and Dave's Pick's Vol 12 (Colgate 11.4.77) as bday gifts a week or so ago. First commercial GD/JGB stuff I've had in a couple years save for the Sunshine Daydream discs). I've always enjoyed the NYE JGB show as Hopkins attempts to run the show and Garcia just cuts him off. Also caught Melvin/JGB on my birthday (same ol' decent fun) and for NYE saw JK, Chimenti, Jay Lane and some other dude as The Golden Gate Warriors. Tepid as all hell.

NoJ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The JGB 11-17/18-75 with Nicky Hopkins is pretty darn good too. Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've heard Hopkins was floridly intoxicated for nearly that whole tour... 22 November 1975 was highly exceptional... Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 From what I read, Hopkins had no recollection of the period he spent touring with Garcia. Yikes! Bobby Keys had some good Hopkins stories in his autobiography too. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 It's amazing the number of bands he played with: Beatles, Stones, Kinks, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Jeff Beck, Quicksilver Messenger Service, etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Skian Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 It's amazing the number of bands he played with: Beatles, Stones, Kinks, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Jeff Beck, Quicksilver Messenger Service, etc. Nicky Hopkins was also on John Lennon's Imagine Album - piano & electric piano on "Jealous Guy", "Oh My Love" and "How Do You Sleep?" Added a nice flavor to the JGB for a time even if he was a little pickled. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Listened to JGB 3/1/1980, Capital Theatre over the weekend. I loves me some Jerry so it was a fun show to listen to although the keyboards were godawful and some moron in the audience kept blowing up a balloon and then making screeching sounds with it.
