    You're almost at the Peak Moment of the PNW box.

    Good one.

    Kind of like my mom's trip to Maui in 1978. She's still there!

    I've driven through a few times as well, and the way to / from Vegas, AZ, etc. Always reminds me of that Little Feat song.

    Anyone know to what extent, if any, the Garcia estate and the Dead coordinate or align on their releases? I was jamming on Electric on the Eel this afternoon and it suddenly hit me the unavoidable similarity of this year’s JGB box and the Giants Stadium box.

    One venue across the years (even though I thought Dave had said at one point they weren’t interest in something like that that), with 3 shows from the exact same years: ‘87, ‘89’ and ‘91. Now that can’t be 100% cosmic coincidence, can it?

    Really curious about this myself. I noted the similarities when the Hoffa Box was announced. Bizarre if it really is a coincidence

    I remember an article I read long ago where Weir was saying that with so many instruments on stage there wasn’t a lot of room to play full chords. He said he mostly played three notes or so, and considered himself more of a jazz player in a rock band. Wish I could remember the article as I’d like to read it again and refresh.

    This release is better than 98% of my GD collection.

    Hope you have the bonus disc too. Essential!

    That and The Complete Fillmore West are better than anything in my collection (which is admittedly 3 releases shy of complete, though I don't think Spring '90 II, RT'88, or Rare Cuts/Oddities would knock either out of the money). I like the way we think!

    Apologies to '70, '72, '73, '74, and '77, but take solace in the fact that Michael Phelps won a 15th gold medal by just 23 hundredths of a second.

    Listening to Workingman’s Dead since we were talking studio albums, and Easy Wind was on. I’m thinking, “wait a minute this is really familiar... what is this?... CSN?... no... Oh! Down By The River.”

    Hi-Res wouldn’t change that unless it’s from a different master.

    Every time I listen to 2/14/68 reminds me of seeing Dead for first time in April 1968. They played consecutive weekends in Miami club and Sunday free concert in local park. Still think it was best show I ever saw. My go to shows are 2/14/68, 5/24/69 Seminole Rock Festival, 2/27/69, 2/28/69 and 2/14/70 Fillmore East. They were different band with Pigpen. In fact I started selling off later shows like Spring 90 , Warlocks 89 and selling 30 trips. Don’t really listen to much after 1977.

    Did @US Blues already mention the Washoe Zephyr? If you're doing all the shows of 74, that's an incredibly worthwhile pursuit.

    I finally checked out the Archive version of 2/14/68 compared to the official version. I tend to not be very sensitive to speed variations but this one was massive. Well worth checking out.

    I was just listening to 2/14/68 yesterday, didn’t realize it was the same as the RT2.2 show until just now.

    wait, did you write you were at the Big Rock Pow Wow? I had no idea when i first heard that tape in the 1990s that it was not typical for them to play a random mix of their repertoire as early as 1969, that's always been a favorite.

    There's a lot of talk of the Washoe Zephyr from Phil that show, I don't think USB mentioned it....yeah I'm doing 1974 but maybe slowly and it may get interrupted...
