@bzfgt Thanks for leading me to the 12/13/80 Scar>Fire. Checking it out now, Dusborne Matrix. Great looking setlist as well (for 1980...)
12/13/80 That Scar>Fire was pretty rad. Scar seemed to take its time warming up but Fire was raging legit by the end. Felt a lot longer than it actually was.
Shoddy propaganda. From the same people who brought you fluoridated water, above ground nuclear testing, and the denial of UFO's.
Well I retagged everything "GD19xx." I'm glad that's over with, there's no room on the card for more anyway. Somehow I wound up with 1967-1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975-1976, 1977-1978, 1979-1980, 1981-1985, 1986-1990, and 1991-1995. I can't say there was much thought behind any of it. When I get a new card some of those eras will have to migrate, and some of the larger categories will get kind of bloated, but nothing like when it was all "Grateful Dead." I currently have a ton of 1972, 1973, and 1974, so those had to be the standalones...
The only Dark Star>The Other One combo from the old world tour of 1972. Plus >Sing me back home...! -75 min of magic! On the Bus: 40-Year Retrospective of Europe '72: 5/7/72 Bickershaw Festival: "Good Lovin'," Troublemakers Unite, & Imperial Stout
Phil's bass around 15-18 min into Dark Star is maybe the prototype for nordic doom metal.(I don't know actually, don't trust me) And..... if that was not enough.. - Phil continues to wreak havoc for the next ten minutes or so. Enjoy the ride!
Was playing the acoustic set from DiP 8...wow. Regardless how many times I have heard it it still manages to amaze me. Jerry's vocals are gorgeous. The vinyl has all the chatter inbetween songs, along with the electric CR&S. Should I be playing the electric set on ny mono table?
First for me was 12/31/85 set II taped myself off of the radio broadcast, followed by 10/31/83 Marin Civic Set II. After that it was off to the races.
My first tape was a chopped up mishmash of 4/28 and 4/29/71. 8/13/75 was an early one and my first show 6/4/78 I got from the taper a few months afterwards.
I have Grateful Dead and Grateful Dead - Studio as my artist titles. I then name every release "1977/10/29 DeKalb, IL Dave's Picks 33", for example. Then I can search a year "1973" or even a decade "198" will give me all the 80s. Lets me easily navigate. I have a few playlists too (1967-1970, 71-74 etc) but Ive rarely used those.
