    On to 3/10/81 Madison Square Garden, initial indications are this will work just fine, vocals a little recessed maybe but not strained; plenty of Phil coming through as well; in fact I would probably point someone unfamiliar with, or averse to, the decade to this show first.

    Edit: pretty great Scarlet>Fire on this 3/10/81 and some pretty wild vocal throwing effects going on in it, I don't remember another soundboard doing it as much as this.[/QUOTE]
    Matrix of this show is good, too. That speaker that Jerry blows at the top of the show must have really woke the crowd up.

    Ok, done with DP#14 and the Boston 1973 run. That was a great 3 shows. :)

    I realised that I never collected the 1989 shows represented on Without a Net. I downloaded the Philadelphia 1989 and Los Angeles 1989 runs and will be listening to those six shows next.

    I don't have to worry about the rest of WAN considering the Spring 1990 sets cover it :)

    I'm currently collecting the shows for Reckoning and Dead Set.

    It's a good excuse to hear some more 1980.

    1979/80/81 is a period I've really been enjoying a lot lately. Lots of great energy. Besides, I can't get enough Sailor>Saints

    :)

    Finishing 11/25/73, I had left off at "I Know You Rider" a while ago. It's a Miller Board that makes me wonder why I ever pay for this stuff. :)

    Lord Garcia, I never knew your greatness until twice years past.

    Please grant me your forgiveness for being ignorant of your existence and greatness.

    In the name of the Lord.

    Amen.

    That's not a speaker Jerry blows, the entire stage left PA stack blew out and shut down. Honest to god we all thought "the show's over!" But then section-by-section the amps fired back up and it came to life. During Fire On The Mountain Jerry gets into some crazed feedback, as if mimicking the momentary loss of the PA stack in the 1st set.

    btw- scalpers bought many of the tickets for this show and the night before. A friend and I bought tix in Penn Station, below MSG, for $5 a pop. Lower Loge seats, we were very happy with the seats, and happier still with the show.

    The Playing In The Band > Uncle John's Band > Playing In The Band from that show is unspeakably good. The intro to UJB may be the best 3 minutes of Grateful Dead ever performed. If you missed it the first time go back and listen again, the Intro is tracked as part of PITB, the band starts UJB and Jerry just teases the intro with extraordinary dexterity for a few minutes before he drops in.

    I definitely recognised the awesomeness of that PITB>UJB>PITB as I was listening. It was heaven! :)

    Very good show so far with a nice upbeat atmosphere.

    The first set has your standard "you can probably skip to the next track" selections, except that Shakedown, Bird Song and TMNNS are all really good versions.

    I'm up to a really fun and spritely China>Rider. Really good version. :)

    Vibing on 24 Oct 1972- mp3 from the Taper's Section, it has Truckin' > The Other One > He's Gone > The Other One. Billy is entertaining me after a fine Truckin' coda.

    Holy crap, that Terrapin was easily in the top 5 I've heard.

    That was amazing!

    And I'm not the biggest Terrapin fan, so that's saying something.

    I had no idea I was in the mood for a mellow Dark Star until I got about 60 second into this one. Then I knew it was exactly what I wanted for a relaxing Saturday night.

    Ah yes. Watch Jerry start to grin around 4:18 and then spend the rest of the song trying to keep from laughing. I don't know what happened, but whatever it is causes spontaneous smiling from anytime who watches this clip. :)

    Winding down, late dinner, excellent Gordon Biercsch "Marzen" beer. And these songs:

    Bird Song

    Happy Birthday, again. Your music lights up the darkness like no other.

    Well, I swear I was just starting to dive into the Miles At Newport set when it suddenly became time to watch Star Wars with the kiddos as promised and then TV with the wife (binge-watching Wet Hot American Summer prequel on Netflix - almost as good as the movie, one of my all time favorite comedies for anyone who cares), and now it's back to music and it's late Saturday night on Jerry's birthday and Miles can wait until Sunday a.m. Yet I don't have time to wade through a whole show. Verrry long way of saying, Road Trips Vol. 1, No. 2 Oct. '77 compilation is fitting the bill just nicely. Killer Sugaree from Baton Rouge right now. Because these seem like unfortunate shows to break up into a comp, I haven't spent that much time spinning this one, but everything on here is gold.

    Believe me, I would be happier if it looked less like Blitzer and more like Garcia, and if it was an A's rather than Giants promotion, but I'll take what I can get. He and the Coco Crisp chia pet seem to be getting along famously though.

    Fear not, by the time you get to 84 you'll have had more than your fill of Lost Sailor > Saint of Circumstance. Bobby had that pair of songs in heavy roation in the first 1/2 of the '80's.

    Have the Europe 72 soundboards recently reappeared on the Archive? Maybe they've been there all along, but I think not...

    They were there, then they were pulled due to the official releases, and yes, recently they came back.

    Also has happened with Fillmore April 1971 and some of the Spring 1990 soundboards.

    So I hear. :)

    On deadlistening.blogspot.com, the guy that runs that site does a really cool podcast series. He did one that was selections, hidden gems, from 81-84 or so, and it was simply awesome. I'm a full show guy through and through, but that definitely was a compilation I'd like to play again.
