mountain bed Report post Posted August 14 45th Anniversary of the GAMH "One From The Vault" show. Just about a perfect show. And the one that broke the vault open, thank God. 36 Dick's Picks, 35 Dave's, 17 Road Trips, countless box sets and Rhino single show releases., and no signs of stopping. Love Live The Dead!

Oil Can Boyd Report post Posted September 8 That looks like a good first show to me.What do you remember most from the night?Random thoughts/memories:There were not many people on my high school into the Dead so it was fun to see this scenePeople cheered loudly at the "I wish I was a headlight" line in I Know You RiderI knew drums/space was a thing but didn't quite get itI was surprised at how quiet it was during parts of Wharf RatAnd I really remember leaving and wanting to see them again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Report post Posted Thursday at 03:15 PM I never felt unsafe at a show, but I have seen a lot sketchy stuff. I can see all the stuff mentioned in that article happening. Also, I have been to a few Rainbow gatherings in the early 90's. One can tell some of the people there were evading the law and very distrustful. My buddy was thinking about doing a paper for college on the community, focusing on the structure and all. We brought it up and most of the people we talked to, spoke up and discussed it a candid manner, while others would just walk off. Cameras were highly discourage, also. They were always enjoyable, though, and I never felt unsafe. At one of the gatherings, I did witness a group of locals in a pick up truck ( I am assuming locals, since we were in Southern, IL and I know they do not take too kindly to hippie transients) , fire bombed a parked car.

winterland121072 Report post Posted Thursday at 07:09 PM The hill at Alpine 87, 88 and 89 was like a sovereign country - completely lawless and anything goes / went. Saw lots of weird / odd / scarey / bizarre / taboo / awesome stuff up there...at least I thought i did... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Report post Posted 8 hours ago Dave's Picks 37 just announced: 4/15/78 plus unidentified "bonus material" from some other show on the same tour. No word on what Vol. 38 w/bonus disc will entail. I think I'm gonna sit next year out. I have more than enough of this stuff, and can always buy 7/18/72 a la carte if they ever release it.
