The Grateful Thread

This again.

 

That's the app I use. Guess I just had "the archive" on my mind instead of "Listen to the Dead". Either way, an awesome free app.

 

Just downloaded it. The office suddenly got a lot more interesting

 

Listening now to the "Mind Left Body" jam from 6/28/74. You can hear them "searching for the sound".

And they find it. One of their finest moments indeed.

 

I got jealous of being unable to experience this for the first time, so I performed an at-home frontal lobotomy* and am listening to the 6/28/74 jam segment as I type. The jazzy (not jazz!) jam is spectacular, and the way they slide into 6 from the DS jam is s(l)ick.


* Three shots of Jameson during five minutes of Richard Simmons Sweatin' to the Oldies.

 

Steppin out with 4/8/72 Dark Star. I am stunned.

 

Niiiiiiice. Been a few years since I repeated it here, but a few of you will remember the original anecdote:

Nothing too special - March 16, 1994 - the only Dark Star I saw played - for a 94 show, it's pretty good.

 

There's a scene with Pigpen and Janis? Are you sure??

 

I had a few bad cassette dubs of the 4/8 before Steppin Out set came out. I remember listening to it on the way home from work when it came out in July 2002. My drive home was 30 minutes and I kept driving around until Dark Star finished its journey into Sugar Magnolia. I was in tears.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but how does one go about "checking out a newly-circulated" anything? Is this 1983 and I need a box of XL-IIs? I actually do have one!

 

Since there's nothing band-disapproved about this, I don't think it's taboo here to mention options.
(My surviving Maxell 5-pack is only XL's. Cherished nonetheless. You never know ...)

 

for that day when I digital simply vanishes ?

 

Check out 10/15/83!!! From the night after DP 6, also featuring an incredible St. Stephen.

 

Or the itch to make just one more mixed tape, whichever comes first ....

 

SPAC, 6/24/84 has a great Playin'---> China Doll. An absolute deluge of rain, and mud swirlin' 'round my feet.

 

"In case of rapture please flip my tape"

 

I could be wrong - wouldn't be the first time!

I am off to bed now. I will check in the morning and take a screen snap of the scene I'm thinking about.

 

Referring to 20 September 1974, Paris: Charlie Miller recently circulated a MR > DAT > Flac version of this entire show, which is far superior to the prior circulating sources. This show should be an official release, along with the Dijon show from 18 September.

 

Live Music Archive....you can stream the new source

 

Thanks; I guess I took the word "circulating" more physically than digitally. I use Relisten to the Grateful Dead regularly, but I suppose the Archive may contain more recent versions whereas Relisten contains only one version of each show.

 

If you click on "Select another source" at ReListen, you'll generally find more versions.

 

Miller's.....

 

Very happy with the 45 rpm American Beauty from MFSL.

 

Looking back, I see I may have been wrong indeed. Is that perhaps Danko?

Weir is just off screen to the right next to Jerry.
