Getting ready to have a listening party with another one of my composite best of the year compilations. This time its 1982.

 

As always the goal is to recreate a semblance of a given show for that year, trying to make it all highlights or peak performances, taking liberties to make it a bit longer than they actually played, but still trying to stay somewhat close to something they might have actually played in setlist and sequence, etc.

 

Here's what i finally came up with:

 

Mississippi Half Step > 8-3-82 KC

Franklin's Tower 8-3-82

Minglewood Blues 8-3-82

They Love Each Other 4-14-82 Glenn Falls, NY

Its All Over Now 4-6-82 Philly

Big Railroad Blues 8-3-82

On The Road Again 8-10-82 Iowa

BIODTL 8-10-82

Stagger Lee 8-10-82

Mama Tried 4-6-82

Candyman 4-6-82

Lazy Lightning 8-6-82 St. Paul

Jackaroe 4-6-82

Music Never Stopped 7-31-82 Manor Downs, TX

China Cat>Rider 10-10-82 Frost

 

Shakedown Street 8-3-82

Samson 8-3-82

Playin'> 10-10-82

Crazy Fingers 10-10-82

Sailor>Saint 10-10-82

Terrapin 4-6-82

The Wheel 10-10-82

GDTRFB 9-17-82 Portland Maine

Morning Dew 4-6-82

Sugar Magnolia 10-10-82

 

Satisfaction 10-10-82

All Over Now Baby Blue 10-10-82

 

Any glaring omissions or better versions of songs listed?

Listening to 4/29/71 -- probably for the 1,342nd time -- probably not that much, but I have probably have listen to this show more than any other. 

 

The Loser always gets me, so great.

Yeah, you could have a whole 'nother '82 show with no repeats.  I preferred all those new songs after they had developed for a few years, though.  Early versions were a bit too proto- basic for my tastes but they were kinda funky and different that what many of us heard so many times and I get why some people dig the early versions.

 

I also re-checked out the Dew from 9-17 and I think I prefer the one from Philly 4-6, its got a bigger peak at the end.  The one from Portland gets really quiet but it never really comes back to the big crescendo that for me makes a Dew great. Maybe its a cleaner version?

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate 'em!

I liked 82-83 versions of Touch a lot more than the'87-onward versions. Pretty much the opposite with Throwing Stones (late 80s versions were really good, dran ot, and intense.

I notice you have a lot of 10.10.82 Frost in there (as it's an excellent show), but not that scorcher Minglewood opener!

Thanks, I will go back and listen again.  The 8-3 Minglewood is also hot hot hot!  Sometimes with these choices, its about the transitions between songs on a given recording.  When its played loud, little imperfections can become huge jolts, so sometimes I try to do a few songs from the same recording to try to minimize those.  But performance with great sound quality is the main determining factor, so I love hearing what people suggest, so thanks!

New JGB, 5/20/1990, Hilo Civic Auditorium, Hawaii.

The highlight for me is "Tough Mama", the Dylan tune from Planet Waves. I've always loved that tune and its great to hear Jerry take a swing at it.

I have had the new JGB Hilo cd on hold at my library since it was released - looking forward to listening.

 

Some libraries in my system have a policy of not sharing new releases and the one library that has it is one of them - it shows it's available to check out, too - I blame Trumpism.

Mayer posted the following on instagram last night

It moved the needle on my Mayer is Ok Meter

 

The night before a new Dead&Co tour is always deeply felt. I wish I was going to a Grateful Dead concert tomorrow. I wish I was dancing with my friends while we listened to Jerry and the band play. But it’s the honor of a lifetime to convert my love for this music into the further telling of this beautiful, timeless story with some of its brilliant authors. I’m like anyone else who was ever moved by this music, who was discovered by it, and not the other way around. My love for the Grateful Dead is immense, but not extraordinary. I am in that crowd. Just represented from the stage. And I think of Jerry Garcia and his intentions with every song we play. I’m only there so that on my best of nights, you might get to him. "

I think it's strictly rumor at this moment (nothing on Dead Net as of now) but I'm hearing about a box set of 73-74 PNW shows. 

 

Post it up of you can confirm, thanks.
