    I got reported for going to Copps 1990 but missing 1992.

    I guess you won't get reported for going to 1992 and missing 1990.

    I think Buckeye Lake 6/25/88 was the first time. I was there.

    I loved this movie and I recommended it to one of my Deadhead friends and he thought it sucked. I think it helps if you grew up for some amount of time in a similar town to wherever this takes place in TX. By similar I mean small. Small, like you are dependent on your friend's older brother to drive at least an hour to try to score Who tickets for the 1982 tour. Like the last scene in this movie.

    He played at a now-definct bar here in Milwaukee the night before the Terrapin Station shows. Thought about going, ultimately didn’t. Whole thing seemed sad.

    The cover reminds me of a lot of those bootleg cds you used to see around in the early and mid 90s. I think that's probably intentional. As far as songs, I like Jerry, Bob's and Way To Go Home. I think that the others would've probably improved when they were worked on in the studio.

    Listening to Anthem of the Sun in the right state of mind, and it honestly feels weird to hear the Dead being so overtly psychedelic in the studio. I've just gotten used to the more straightforward sound they cultivated live. The actual pressing itself is great, with the gatefold cover and original art print and booklet by Dave.

    A very underrated album, generally speaking. After all these years, I find both versions, simply amazing; though it's not really a studio album. :bdance:


    Live tracks recorded at (according to liner notes):


    • Live:
      • Eureka - 20 Jan 1968
      • Eagles Auditorium, Seattle - 26-27 Jan 1968
      • Crystal Ballroom, Portland - 2-3 Feb 1968
      • Carousel Ballroom, SF - 14 Feb 1968
      • Kings Beach, Lake Tahoe - 22-24 Feb 1968
      • Carousel Ballroom, SF - 15-17 Mar 1968
      • Carousel Ballroom, SF - 29-31 Mar 19



      • Recorded in the studio - September - December 1967
      • Recorded live - November 10, 1967 - March 31, 1968

        Locations

        While no certain date for the beginning of recording is known, it is unlikely that any material was recorded before September 19, 1967, the date when Mickey Hart first played with the band. The melange of the final product makes it difficult to tell where many of the live excerpts listed in the credits were used. However, significant fragments of "Alligator" (e.g. the post-vocals "jam section") are known to come from the February 14, 1968, show at San Francisco's Carousel Ballroom (the venue that later became the Fillmore West). The "Alligator" vocal reprise is taken from November 10, 1967, at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. Similarly, the skeletal framework of "Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)" dates from the Shrine Auditorium on November 10, 1967, and the Carousel Ballroom on March 31, 1968. Excerpts from two shows at Kings Beach Bowl in Lake Tahoe, California, on February 23–24, 1968, that were used — most notably the car horn heard at the end of "Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)" — were later released on Dick's Picks Volume 22. Another show known to be sourced, from March 17, 1968, was released as Download Series Volume 6. Used from that performance were the verse(s) section of "The Faster We Go" portion of "That's It for the Other One", and the first half of the "New Potato Caboose" jam (after the vocals).

    It’s an interesting arrangement for sure, I just think it’s a lame song. :hide:

    Agree about the cover, but apparently it's based off official promo art from the time period or something so it gets a rough pass :p

    Pick of the morning - an oldie but a goodie to start the day - Thelma 12/11/69. I'm almost through it, and I'm thinking the complete Thelma show from the following night is next (total creeper show).

    The first Good Lovin' post Shakedown Street on 8/31 sounds a lot different than it did before (more like the album version). Donna does some nice spoken call and response with Bob too that's quite different. I like it

    Ah, nothing like Bobby messing up the first two verses of PITB. It's not like they've played that one many times before or anything.

    I like “Samba In The Rain” musically. :hide:.

    The lyrics would’ve bern better for a Tubes or Zappa song.

    I think many of the 77-78 versions sound like the album version (after the old version intro).
