    My first tapes were definitely from June. Sluggish, like a wet sponge.

    When I’m in the mood, the relaxed, “sluggish” tempos of June ‘76 sound mighty fine. The Jerry Garcia Band shows of the era have a similar vibe. June ‘76 is simply NOT where you go when you want to rock out.

    IIRC Jerry is pretty prominent in the vocals on that one.

    Because it's a major letdown from September-October of 76 (like the rest of 77)? :evil:

    He would talk to the equipment 'how could you fail me now? what did I do to make you hate me....etc.'

    We need a few more. Then we can have a tourney. 32 would be good. These are short segments.

    The Best Meltdowns Ever - This is the list
    (timestamps appreciated)

    ** For NCAA-Style Tourament **

    Meltdown defined loosely similar as a Tiger Jam, or
    neither a particular riff or a vague meltdown, but rather a specific vehicle employed to explore the more explosive experimental music that the band had gotten into. it was a distinct jam that, despite it's atonal and seemingly formless nature, had all of the band members playing relatively consistent roles and parts every time- most notably garcia's wailing and descending wah phrases and phil's distorted chords.

    Should be short burts from 2-4 minutes. e.g. an entire feedback probably doesn't count

    Might be easier in it's own thread...but sounds fun as hell to listen and vote if you give people a few days for each bracket...

    Three from The Vault
    February 19, 1971, Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY

    A nice show (the first without Mickey Hart in over three years) with great sound since it was recorded to multitrack for possible inclusion on the self-titled 1971 live double album that would eventually come out that fall. Highlights include rarities such as the traditional tune “Dark Hollow” and a 14-minute churning, slow-burn “Smokestack Lightning”. Plus, what other band opens their show with two short old-timey ditties?

    Thank you for posting these. Don't think I've seen too many pictures of Bear. Either that or I didn't know it was him.

    7/27/74 - PITB (17:00 - 18:00)

    8/4/74 - LIG !!! (15:00 - 17:30)
    8/6/74 - TOO !!! (6:00 - 8:20)
    7/29/88 - PITB (5:00 - 9:30)

    A show from 1988 makes it...and it's pretty good too. At Laguna Seca.

    I was considering mentioning that one too. Mainly the last minute or so before Garcia leaves for Drums.

    Of the later Dark Stars, the main meltdown I remember is 10/9/89 between the second verse and Drums.

    First of all, if you're running a GD meltdown tourney and don't include 25:00-28:09 of the 4/8/72 Dark Star, you've not only dropped the ball, you've turned it over for a dunk going the other way. Of course, much of what makes this melt so great is its dichotomous resolution.
    BANG ON, I'd probably seed this as #1 without having to listen to the rest. And I'm a '72-'74 guy. But it doesn't really get atonal until about 6:45 (Jerry's certainly pushing it, however); let's call it 6:30. No matter; just trying to focus on keeping things in the 2-4 minute range.
