The Grateful Thread

Thanks. That one plays for me.

 

I've been listening to summer '76 - summer '77 non-stop, soooooooo good! Every show top notch!

 

That's
funny Bob!

 

Just wrapping up "Jack Straw" now. Very good first set.

 

Yeah I think several songs are in the top tier, if not the actual bests evers....everything is really really hot, and I think that Jack Straw is definitely a contender....they are really playing the hell out of everything. I'm kind of surprised I never knew of this one...

 

Google found me these:
This guy makes me happy. : gratefuldead
On July 4th remember to wave that flag. Wide and HIGH : gratefuldead

 

Thank you! What did you search for? I googled "Grateful Dead Movie US Blues" and didn't find anything.

 

Served it at my wedding and 21 years + 1 day we’re still married. To each other even.

 

Jerry is really into it. Listen to how he sings "Bo-wo-oat" in "Ship of Fools".

 

a little off topic. not a dead show but a great time was had by all 39 years ago today. we drove 13 hours each way.

 

if you google “Grateful Dead movie gif” then open images he’ll be there fairly near the top. And you can save the gif from there without reddit.

Wonder who that dude is...

 

Well, I've gone and done it. I ordered the July 78 box in anticipation of a) liking it, b) the remaining ~500 copies selling out, and c) the price going up up up as soon as that happens.

 

Well done.

 

It's about time. If you snooze you lose.

 

"The Grateful Dead Movie" ... Where Are They Now?

Podcast #17 - Conversation with Michelle Rothe & Extra Guest Chicken Shack - Strangers Stopping Strangers

 

Based on last year's credit card statements, you're right.

 

Or the public sex and defecation. Can't really blame them.

 

Ha! I was thinking of this:

The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County - Wikipedia

but it sounds like there was more going on than I suspected...

 

1978-06-04 is there some kind of story behind this show? Were they all getting drunk or something? Anyway, maybe the best Around and Around ever...it seems like it's about 30 minutes long. The numbers say 8:54 though, I don't know it seemed a lot longer than usual. The second set is really hot but there is no big jam, except Estimated I guess, everything else is just kind of a rave-up...even Ship of Fools kind of...

 

Things go better with coke?

 

Exactly.

 

I haven’t made it all the way through yet but it sounds like they’re on whatever combination of rocket fuels they were still on in July 78. This sounds like the unhinged version of the band that showed up at Red Rocks a month later, only even more so. Like they’re jumping out of their skins. Almost angry sounding, but intriguing.

 

I don’t see a Weir or a couch?

 

Skip ahead to 7:30 or so.

 

Wow, what a lineup!
