I'm tossing out 10/18/74, DSO hasn't played it, and that show also contains the greatest recorded video of Grateful Dead history, the magnificent Morning Dew from The Grateful Dead Movie, which features Phil laying out a huge bomb at the apex of the walk up, relishing in the splendor with an enormous, goony grin on his face. Phil makes that Dew really special, in my opinion, with his fills and overall playing, and all the juicy bombs. Either way, I hope you guys get a Dew tonight so Skip can have the pleasure of blasting the audience with some great bombs.

Big Brown late 71-73 mission control( the bass Skip is playing) 74-mid 78

2-26-77 swing. done incredibly! They played this show the first time I saw DSO, election night 2000 at the Belly Up. Phil’s bass sounds amazing. Such perfect low end.

Simply Can’t help myself

Wow - nothing like a little wild speculation to help you get extra greased-up for the show!

That show fills the bill with the anniversary date, and I think you're right that they haven't played it before. But I'm not sure the Mission Control bass had debuted until June... Has DSO every played the Iowa 6-16 sets? another possible contender (per my perusal of the DSO database) would be the last retirement show, 10/20. And of course it's a beast of a show.

Phil started playing Mission Control in 74. 46 years ago today the band played their first show of 74. Mission Control's first show. Wall of Sound unofficial first show. US Blues, Roses and I believe Loose Lucy first show There is only 3-4 three set shows in 74 and this happens to be one. I think they played 3 sets to dial in the wall of sound. I don't think DSO has played one of the 3 set shows from 74 but I have been wrong plenty of times in my life. Me thinks 2/22/74 for LA tonight. Wish I was there. The band seems to rock LA winter west coast every year. Maybe they will close tour with another "Wild Thing". That was great in Portland!!!

That's an all timer. I wore out that cassette back in the day. Praise DSO.

There was no filler.

Yeah, this was a powerhouse performance of a powerhouse show. Plenty good vibes in the crowd as well. I figure we'll get a '74 show tomorrow. After this pick, I tend to expect something epic! See y'all in LA

I mean, they GOTTA do a Wall of Sound show with that bad boy...right?!?

That Dog is one cool customer - he's gotta 'thing' for licking your face ❤️

Rob gave us a hint and said it was something they’ve never done before....
