Forum MVP bs69 Posted June 12, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good choices. Those Capital shows were some of those good soundboards that I had early on. Really love the Hurts me too from 2-19, some of the best bluesy guitar playing from Jerry. Amazing to listen to one of those early PITB'S clocking in around 3-4 minutes knowing what it would later become. I stumbled upon the first gem and kind of sought out the other. I wanted to listen to more Capitol shows and I also wanted to hear some of the latter Pigpen stuff people were/are talking about in the your favorite Pigpen song section. I randomly chose a 6 night run in early 1971. The first 2 shows of this run contained several first. The first night of the run (2/18/71) would also be Mickey's last show until October 74. On that night, they would play Wharf Rat for the first time, as well as Bertha, Greatest Story, Loser and Playing. The next night, sans Mickey, they would debut Bird Song and Deal. The first show of the run was a real smoker and all of the recordings were of listenable quality. I recommend all 6 nights, but especially the first show if you don't have time for all 6.

The first comes a time just so happens to be played at Keith's first show with the band on 10/19/71 at the Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis, MN. The band also debuts Jack Straw, Tennessee Jed, Mexicali, Saturday night, and Ramble on Rose. All in all, based on the debuts at the 3 shows mentioned, I would say 1971 was a good year for new Grateful Dead music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Mango Posted June 12, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Jerry Garcia Band - 02-14-1976 Keystone, Berkeley, California Luckily have a SBD copy of the show. Mellow show in ways but with very emotive playing. Personally think the Moonlight Mile is quite a standout. Some songs really get you at just the right moment. Love this show.....great Sitting in Limbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Tea Posted June 26, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 11.21.1973 > Denver Coliseum Just got through: Playin> El Paso> Playin> Dark Star Jam> Wharf Rat > Playin> Morning Dew There are some loose moments in this show and there are some other all-timers from November 1973. That said, this passage is about as good as it gets for me in 1973! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted June 26, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 Listening and watching NYE 12/31/1987. I know it's a fairly standard run of songs; however, sometimes it's just feels good to go back to the year when the bus was running full steam ahead.

NYE '87 was all about the 1st set (unless Hell In A Bucket at midnight floats your banana boat). Bertha Promised Cold Rain were super powerful, and the Bird Song Music closing was sensational.

sonomajon Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was a 10-29-77 kind of day...For Garcia fans this recording has the Wolf shining through the mix front and center...and the x-factor in this era KG is more than holding his own on this night...

Forum MVP Rude Posted June 29, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 DSO 7-12-12 Springfield. I was just reading some old posts and I realized I'm an obsessor. I listened to 77 Dead almost exclusively for months. Those perfect betty boards along with that groovin sound made that the perfect match. Now I can barely stand any other music than DSO during the mattson era. They are like 72 dead playing in 1995. This playin I'm listening to atm blows my mind every time I hear it.

Cosmic Mike Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 10-14-1977 Hofheinz Pavilion, Houston, Texas Excellent show and probably one of the more overlooked shows of 77. Jerry is on fire from start to finish. Playin>drums>The Wheel>Wharf Rat>Around & Around>Brokedown>Playin is a serious whirlwind of top notch playing. The Brokedown is something dear for the soul. Throughout my life music has been a great passion. Never could I have imagined a band would affect me so deeply. No matter what may happen in life, I will forever know where to find happiness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Rude Posted July 3, 2013 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 Was checking every day on nugs for the jubilee shows b4 they went on tour. Alas we will have to wait at least another month. I hope rob posts some 2013 shows soon, at least the jubilee ones. I know he likes to remaster them b4 he uploads unlike everyone else that uploads the SBD next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tide Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 DSO Show: 1998 • 11/17/2011 Wilbur Theatre, Boston, MA Credit to the Grateful Dead for creating this masterpiece. That being said, DSO's version is always in my rotation. The St. Stephen - Eyes - Let it Grow to start the second set is really amazing. Matson just kills it on Eyes, and the interplay between the band is wonderful to listen to. The Eyes especially goes even furthur than the Dead's version in my opinion, building on an experimental take with the extended closing jam from that time at the beginning. Chills inducing. Once Let it Grow started I remembered thinking I couldn't believe how DSO could actually play this show. And that's only the first part of the second set! Glad this one was released. Still hoping for the Europe 72 show at the same venue. http://livedownloads.com/live-music/0,7175/Dark-Star-Orchestra-mp3-flac-download-11-17-2011-Wilber-Theater-Boston-MA.html Setlist: 6/9/76 - Boston Music Hall, Boston MA One: Cold Rain And Snow ; Cassidy ; Scarlet Begonias ; The Music Never Stopped ; Crazy Fingers ; Big River ; They Love Each Other ; Looks Like Rain ; Ship Of Fools ; The Promised Land Two: Saint Stephen > Eyes Of The World > Let It Grow > Drums > Let It Grow ; Brown Eyed Women ; Lazy Lightnin' > Supplication ; High Time ; Samson And Delilah ; It Must Have Been The Roses ; Dancing In The Street > Wharf Rat > Around And Around Encore: Franklin's Tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
