    As recently posted in the Phish thread, I was front row at that venue on 10.31.94. Good place to be for any band.

    In an interview with Blair Jackson in the 80's, Donna said that she moved to California, saw the Dead at Winterland and was blown away, and that she and Keith and other friends of theirs were major Dead fans. Then, as you say, Keith decided he wanted to join the band and Donna introduced herself to Jerry at a bar gig he played.

    I concur. Keith and Donna were Deadheads before they joined.

    Always thought Keith & Donna at least being aware of/fans of the GoGD before joining was fairly common knowledge.

    Indeed! well-done. (As long as you don't mean $285 each, that is.)

    In five years you won't know the difference from if you'd spent 30 bucks less, but you'll still have the music.

    Thx! Bonus disc hunting is a dangerous game! Lol.

    Plenty of DPs to seek out in the mean time. I'm not seeking a complete collection of those....at least not yet. Have about 10 DPs picked up mostly in used shops.

    7/3/78 from the Complete July 1978 Box. That was the best “Scarlet Begonias” I have ever heard.

    IWT - I have vivid memories of Space that night, it was kinda freaky and the whole stage looked and felt like some weird giant machine. However I just relistened to it and it wasn’t all that freaky; perhaps it was something I ate.

    If you are ever out in LA check out Amoeba records. Went there last night and got the cds I posted a few pages back (one of which was Dave's Pick's Vol. 18 w/ Bonus Disc). They had a ton of other Dave's / Dick's Picks and Road Trips for sale. Thankfully I traded a lot of older stuff in and Vol. 18 w/ the bonus disc was only $55.

    I'm pretty sure that Donna singing on a hit song by Elvis made Jerry's mouth water.

    So after listening to a 4 and a half hour Phish gig, i leave Starbucks and hit Publix.

    Met a guy with a Miami 2017 Dead and Co shirt on. Struck up a conversation for a few minutes.

    And with that jist another reminder of where it all comes from. The circle will remain unbroken!

    Taking my new Massdrop Sennheiser 6xx headphones out for a test drive. Currently 7/14/90 FOB Schoeps mk2. Phil sounding good on this opening Shakedown.

    I have a soft spot for omni mic recordings. My favorite setting when I had my Neumann u89s. There’s no low end like an Omni mic low end and the Senns are sounding quite nice. My first semi series foray into headphones.

    Edit: biiiiig sonic transition as I jumped into 7/7/78 Jack Straw from the boxset. Ok, I can see headphones are going to be fun. It’s like mainlining Wolf

    The wife will remember, though, and bring it up sometime in the future.

    Speaking of 1978, I'm cranking up 6/25/78 Autzen Stadium-Eugene OR on Sunday for its 40th birthday, like I did three weeks ago with 6/4/78. This one is even more over the top than the earlier one. One reviewer said both Jerry and Bob were playing Ibanez Musician guitars that day:

    Jerry and Bob Weir are playing Ibanez Musicians, MC 500 models, Ibanez' Alembic copy. Ibanez wanted Garcia to play thier guitars and produced this model specifically for JG, unfortunately he didn't exactly fall in love with the guitar, he stated that it was too heavy but possibly just didn't like it. If it sounds like he's beating on it he probably is, putting it through it's paces and seeing how much abuse it can take. Those guitars are built very solid and heavy.

    He was back on Wolf for the July shows, so perhaps 6/25 was a one-time thing on the custom Ibanez.

    I hope my neighbors will enjoy this show as much as I will. :evil: It will be loud, and on a warm day the window will be open. The Grateful Dead, Santana and Eddie Money (!) played that day. It was a benefit for something.

    Not my ticket; I didn't go.

    7/14/90 Foxboro was the last time I saw Brent. Pretty good show but we were remarking how terrible he looked whenever there were closeups of him on the screen. The screaming baby doll on the screens during Space made me kind of glad not to be too out there that night.

    The Flaming Lips have shown similar things on the screen during their shows.

    I don't remember that, but I was pretty close to the stage and don't remember the screens maybe because of that. Last time I saw him was two days later in Buffalo...
