Lammycat Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Besides an overall solid show (nice Bertha opener and a very nice Jack Straw closer in 1st set), the Take a Step Back is worth a listen. Weir had asked earlier for people to move back to no avail and has gotta a little....testy:Carrier Dome, Syracuse, NY 10.20.84https://archive.org/details/gd84-10-20.sbd.mattman.15673.sbeok.shnf Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 That dome is so big, I was wondering how it looked for the show and found some pics. Definitely had a decent crowd. I am guessing those who had seats in the actual stands, wandered down to the floor. http://jranderson.photoshelter.com/gallery-image/Grateful-Dead-1984-10-20-Carrier-Dome-Syracuse-University-NY/G00005Q8GIDt6NMk/I0000L0.JqwgWOGE Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Watching baseball with the TV volume down and music playing on stereo is my norm and one of my favorite activities. White Sox are on regular TV today, too - my plan tonight is to get the kid's in bed by 8pm and listen to the Pick while watching the Sox regroup against the Royals. Link to post Share on other sites

It was great.The only time I turned the volume down was Joe Buck covering the Sunday night game, but yeah, tunes on with volume off on a ball game is sweet. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Slightly off-topic, but thought I'd toss this out to those who are into the psychedelic Art Rock poster stuff. Dave Hunter passed away Sunday. from brain cancer (diagnosed last Fall). The short film was directed by Jay Blakesberg and touches on Dav'e influences and his being the resident artist for Moonalice posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q3KXcRog2g Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Especially when the music is replacing Hawk Harrelson. 'He gone.' I can't break bad on Hawk - I do enjoy his indignation. Won't be too sad when he finally retires, but I can tolerate him. No Picks in the mailbox today, at least the Sox are up 4-0 in the sixth. Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 with all due respect to those that love june of 1976....I find it relatively boring...I agree. Although, I went to both Beacon shows and it was incredibly exciting and fun to have the band back. At the time we all thought they were great shows, but in retrospect a little too on the mellow side. Certainly not what they were to become by spring '77. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Dave's #22 is fantastic. I've listened to both shows now. I have to say - for someone who's not the biggest fan of "One More Saturday Night", the 12/7/71 version really rips. Got my notice for the May '77 box - to be delivered by end of day tomorrow. Fantastic. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Yeah, I really enjoyed 12/7/71 last night. Nice brisk show - definitely some flubs but it's seems like they were having a blast on stage - at least that's is the way it came across through speakers. Keith did seemed to be buried in the mix, though. Hopefully, I will get to 12/6 tonight. I should be getting the May set tomorrow, too --- also, I should be getting Betty's Chris Robinson Brotherhood cd tomorrow. Lots of new music to listen to this month.
