The Grateful Thread

Try 13 December 1990 in Denver.

 

Per Jesse Jarnow and his determined listening schedule, the first "Now we play for Clive" rendition was 11.13.78 in Boston:

Brent dropped in a Peter & the Wolf quote during Playing In The Band on 18 October 1984 in Joisey.

 

n.b Jarnow says 'silver' in that tweet, on 1-11-79 Weir clearly says 'acid.'

I will have to look at my notes for 78, that's definitely the kind of thing I would have noted, as long as I was sitting and not doing something else at that moment (I somehow missed the (probably) last ever 'sweet susie' on Loser.)

What's his 'determined listening schedule' mean?

 

That's the one I was thinking of. So not Estimated at all.

 

I believe what Garcia played in 91 was 'the cat.'

Also I knew that mentioning 1-11-79 was the 'US Blues' signal.

 

Ah! Gotcha - in this rare instance I skimmed over the "acid" content.

Determined listening schedule is a nod to his twitter feed on which he details GoGD performances 40 years ago that day.

 

I'm looking forward to receiving this. I need to see it again in thrilling 1080p, and then the bonus content documenting UK weirdness!

I emphasize UK because up until a little while ago, I thought the Hollywood festival was in L.A. somewhere.

 

And the 1972-07-18 Dark Star is even better!

I like 7-26, it's lovely and kinda sleepy and has a very nice return to the second verse (rare in '72)....but I think 7-18 clobbers it. I don't think I'd put 7-26 even in the "top 20" Dark Stars of 1972. Not that there should ever be a consensus about these things...they're all somebody's favorites!

 

Dig the Pig. July 02, 1967. El Camino Park, Palo Alto, CA.

 

I am now listening to 28 February 1969. This is the format I use to record the date at the top of the finest vellum when I write letters to friends.

I don't think @davmar77 was at this show. But if he was, the story will go something like this: "My brother got us tickets at the last minute from the band. After the show, my brother interviewed Jerry for 15 minutes, and then the two of us sat down with him and we wrote a very early version of 'Eyes Of The World.'"

 

I think that bit on 10/30/73 is part of Phil's little jazz jam that shows up all over the place in 1973...

NP 7/3/66, the first selection in the 30 Trips box. An early Wes Wilson poster promoted this lineup of SF heavy hitters, with Love playing in between the GD sets on the third day. Recorded by Bear.

 

Still listening to DS 1972-07-26. I'm going to listen to 7-18 next.

 

Actually it was the Peter & The Wolf mention, cause IWT that night in Jersey in '84.

 

LOL I was waiting for someone else to chime in! But I wasn't going to futz with someone's newfound favorite Dark Star. That and I have probably been running at the mouth about 7/18/72 a bit too much lately. It's one of those where decades later I remember exactly where and when it hit me over the head.

 

How'd ya know?

 

14 November 1978- Boston Music Hall. It's not often that the post-Drums sequence of a '78 show has the big energy, but this night is one such show.

...Space > Wharf Rat > Not Fade Away > Goin' Down The Road, Feeling Bad! e: Johnny B. Goode

OMG you guys!! The NFA burns with intensity, Donna Jean is on top of things vocally, and the Boston faithful respond in kind. But it's the second set finale, GDTRFB, that sets the Music Hall ablaze. Jerry is energized, articulate and in charge. So much so that they wisely end the set here, and the roar of the crowd on this beautiful audience recording is all one needs to know IT happened. Goose bump city! I remember this sound, it's branded into my DNA. Holy smokes!

 

Has Spring 1990-So Glad You Made It been on vinyl before or is this new?

Friday Music is pleased to announce the exclusive 180 Gram Audiophile 4 LP Box Set of the Grateful Dead's Spring 1990- So Glad You Made It. This ltd. ed. set is a treasure trove of highlights from 6 of their finest shows from their legendary Spring 1990 tour. Filled with 20 unreleased gems, Dead classics & rarities abound in this lengthy audiophile dream box. Tracks include "Loser," "Scarlet Begonias," "Estimated Prophet," "Playing In The Band" & The Rolling Stones' ""The Last Time." The LP box & labels also feature the artwork of Wes Lang, including a LP art insert suitable for framing.

Absolutely one of the finest set of recordings capturing this iconic band live and righteous in front of their Spring 1990 audience. Hats off to the band....mega talented riffs abound on the long jams like Scarlet Begonias and Playing In The Band....plus two Rolling Stones classics revisited with The Last Time and It's All Over Now.... This was a fun one for us all to work on and I think fans will love the way it sounds and resonates in the audiophile vinyl format! Attics Of My Life and Morning Dew show that tremendous feeling of brotherhood on the stage that the Dead were known for. Great Stuff INDEED! --Joe Reagoso-Friday Music

 

Yeah this sounds great, I'm about 11 minutes in and it's a completely different kind of Dark Star, more manic. I think you're seriously underrating 7-26 though!

I kind of like this review of the 7/26 Dark Star from GD Listening Guide:

Grateful Dead Listening Guide: 1972 July 26 - Portland, OR

This 7/18 version is killing me right now. I give up on any "top 5"s from now on, there's too many vicious versions...

 

I like 1969/'70 Dark Stars more anyway.
