Sun Caught Fire Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I saw one of the Dead's Fall 1980 Radio City Music Hall shows on PPV at the Orpheum Theater in Boston. They later turned the footage into the Dead Ahead DVD.That was 10/31/1980. I went the last 3 nights. Also love the orpheum and saw some good shows there when in college including Garcia Band 2/15/80. Good stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 47 years ago today: the (to my knowledge) first acoustic set the GD ever performed. Quite a few rarities in set 1, and a very good Dark Star of the late TC period. https://archive.org/details/gd69-12-26.sbd.murphy.1821.sbeok.shnf EDIT: Ha! I guess the set (4 tunes) from a week earlier on 12/19 is the first, per DeadBase. But I haven't heard that one, so there! Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Recording of JRAD's 12/30/16 show that includes Hoodoo Voodoo, a song that Joe and Marco used to cover when they were in a band with Mike Gordon of Phish. Nice to see it get jammed out a bit for 7 minutes in a Viola Lee sandwich: https://archive.org/details/jrad2016-12-30.cmc621.cmc641vxt.sbd.matrix.flac24 Link to post Share on other sites

It was really good. Had a nice double shot here skiing in vermont yesterday as the lift we were getting on was playing China Cat and as we were getting on the next song was Pot Kettle Black.

worldrecordplayer Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 So I was sure I wasn't going to do the Dave's Picks subscription this year. But today they just announced the second release, Felt Forum 12/7/71, to go along with the already announced Boston 4/2/73 show. So I'm in for the series. Link to post Share on other sites
EMF Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I had no idea they previously played Hoodoo. Nor was I aware they played in a band with Gordon. Thx for the info! GRAB: Gordon, Russo,Anastasio and Benevutto opened up for Phil and Friends one summer some years back. Caught 3 or 4 show that summer and was surprised that GRAB played pretty much the same set every night Link to post Share on other sites

That trio was the lineup that did Hoodoo. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 12/5/71 was one of my first boot legs tapes.I have 45-50 minutes of 12/5/71 on a bootleg LP. My first (of two) LP boots (the other is 6/14/85 ftr). Nothing special, other than "Muddy Water" - it's just songs. Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing special, other than "Muddy Water" - it's just songs. Yeah - It's a nice easy intro to the Dead world when you are a teenager coming out of Stones/Zeppelin/Maiden world - just pretty much straight up songs, that kinda of rocked and swung. I only had the 1st set on tape.At the time I only had the Skeletons comp. and Dead Set. Link to post Share on other sites

Not surprised it didn't stick around, there wasn't much for them to do with it. Pretty song though. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 I was listening to DP Volume 4 yesterday and noticed there is another photo of Phil standing behind the drummers inside the booklet. I have often wondered why he stood back there. I don't recall seeing any other bass player do that (one that I can think of anyhow). Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it had something to do with his hearing and different stage dynamics at different venues? Merely a wild guess. Link to post Share on other sites
