    I agree. Pacific Northwest was pretty, but at this point in my life, I don't need a whole piece of furniture just to store 19 CDs and liner notes......

    That was a great two show run, this being the stronger but the second night was also quite good. We made a pilgrimage to the Mecca from Providence just for those two shows. The hotel scene there was insane - there was an indoor courtyard and balconies leading to your room but facing inward to the courtyard on all four sides. There was a huge Iko Iko chant by heads at 4:00 in the morning or so. The Cleveland Indians were also staying there and their tired asses supposedly got spanked by the Brewers the next day. There was also a prom and we wound up having a bunch of random conversations with parent chaperones. Lots of hijinks going on in every direction.

    Penn Station is an awful RR station. Grand Central is much better. No comparison actually.

    This place. In Mamaroneck. Nothing has beaten it in my lifetime.

    Surprisingly, there’s a little place right in Penn Station that makes great pizza. It’s right next to a donut place.

    Mexican food quality spikes appreciably West of the Mississippi.

    Although a few months ago I went to Taco Bell so I could eat a taco shell that was a giant Dorito. And then I saw Doritos taco shells in Safeway!

    And now for some giant Dorito-quality music:

    Yea, it was quite an experience! See, my family is from the New Haven, CT area, so when visiting it's nothing to hop on Metro North and take a day trip to NYC. Always went through Grand Central no problem.

    Holy hell Penn Station is like being in Satan's belly or something :p

    10 March 1981- I purchased a ticket from an "intermediary" in Penn Station for that night's GD show upstairs in MSG. Apparently the intermediaries got a bunch of tix and were dumping them cheap. $5 for one of the best shows of the month.

    I don't remember that at all and I haven't listened to the tape in ages. I'll have to ask my road trip buddies if they remember that.

    I will say that after that second show, we drove straight back to New York and I got in a fender-bender on Park Ave in a rental car. Fun! So any anomalies at the beginning of the second set were undoubtedly driven out of my brain by that time.

    Ordered "Road Trips - Denver '73" recently, and have been listening to it this week. I really can't get enough of '73; when it comes down to it, that's probably my favorite Dead year, really the sweet spot where everything they were doing was just perfect -- the ideal crossroads of the jazzy, far-out aural wildness of '74 and the hot rockin' Americana of the early '70's, with not one bad song in the songbook (except "One More Saturday Night," that one always felt kind of dopey to me). But it's totally immersive music that completely stimulates my mind and senses.

    What other '73 is essential, and won't cost me a million dollars on eBay? I have:

    Dick's Picks 1
    Dick's Picks 14
    Dick's Picks 19
    Dick's Picks 28
    Road Trips Denver '73
    Dave's Picks 21
    Pacific Northwest '73-'74 (3CD set)

    It seems you have almost all the officially released '73 I have, save the '73 Winterland three-show mini box. Download Series Vol. 8, 12/10/73 is another, and there's a '73 show in 30 Trips, of course.

    12/1/79 is an absolute MONSTER show. It smokes 12/3/79 and should have been Dave’s Picks 31.
