Greg from Chestertown

No drums/Space. Thought that was a regularity by then. Are we suffering from irregularity here?

Listening to the original show now. Caught the Grateful Dead movie for the first time at the Tower Theatre in 1981. Neighborhood theatre on the outskirts of PHILadelphia. My buddy who I have been to about a dozen GD shows with caught the Jerry Band there on Halloween the same year. That’s all I got.

Outside of the meat in the bird song sandwich, the acoustic set lines up with 1980 acoustic shows. In case you didn’t already know that.

Raiders Mantra this year; ‘what do you want me to do, to do for you, to see you through?’

I prefer the balloons outside the venue.

Yea, should be a good one tonight.

Got some ‘first time played’ in there? I’m guessing At least Delia’s gone, maybe wonderful world, Valerie.

There’s a lot packed in there. No rest for the dancers. I love it!

Second set pre drums looks like a bit of a roller coaster ride.

I miss the good old days when cliff Branch and Fred Belitnikoff had huge wads of Stick um on their tube socks so they could reapply and stay out there. Carr has the top spot on consecutive games played and still counting. That’s gonna end. I hope Carr finds vindication.

So, it looks like my Raiders are redefining the term ClusterFuck.

I’m partial to the tunes that were in rotation and then came back and stayed in rotation as opposed to the ones that came back out for a one time played. I’m glad the thread stayed true to that.

Attics

‘Leave nothing but footprints’ is a phrase I remember seeing on the letter that came with the mail order tickets. Back in the day.

I’m wondering if New Potato Caboose is the same New Potato Caboose from the late Eighties. Those guys were pretty good back then. One guy dropped out, they started calling themselves Radio Mosaic. They used to play Andy’s in Chestertown about once a month. Based in DC area?

What would a chair look like if your knees bent the other way?

You read my mind. My thought exactly while going through this exercise.

A naive, inexperienced young man gets married, is not sure what to do on his wedding night. He calls his mother and asks her what to do. His mother says, ‘ lay down along side her, rub her belly, and tell her you love her.’ So he does just that. His new bride says, ‘oh, lower, lower.’ The man musters up his deepest voice, rubs her belly, and says, ‘I love you’. The young man calls his mother back and explains that that didn’t work. Mother says, ‘ take your most prized possession and put it where she pee pee’s.’ So gets his bowling ball and puts it in the toilet.

Times played, 277. Second set placement, 14 times. That’s getting towards rare in the Grateful Dead universe.

Yea, I don’t recall ever seeing a second set Candyman on any set list before. Being Deadbase free really drags out the suspense.

Pirate walks into a bar, (you think he would have seen it) he’s got a ship’s steering wheel in his pants. Bartender says, ‘hey, you know you got a ship’s steering wheel in your pants? Pirate says, ‘Aarrrgh, it’s driving me nuts!

Isn’t a second set Candyman a rarity?

What’s the difference between a oral thermometer and a rectal thermometer? The taste.

Yea, that set list is a gem.

Yea, they did a great job covering the void, but it wasn’t the same without you. Skip was twanging the bass to cover.
