Forum MVP Ammagamalin Crew Posted July 21, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Speaking of deercreek and the later days, during the '95 fire on the mtn, I remember thinking Jerry's playing so much lead after one verse, even played slide (again if memory is correct) but I was like what's he going to play after the next verse? Well as we all know it didn't happen that night, so I left the show in a glow thinking reprise the next night. That's what I was really upset about the next morning when the news came out if the cancel. I was like damn we missed our fire finisher.

Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 21, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Let’s head back out West for TIGDH - to the Bowl. Not that kynd of bowl, you miscreants — Hollywood Bowl! And the year is 1974. You know what that means: the Wall of Sound. First link is to read, second one is to listen. Have a fun day! https://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/07-21-1974 https://archive.org/details/gd74-07-21.bertrando.weiner.8241.sbeok.shnf 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 22, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 Imagine you’re in Seattle on July 22, 1972... This recording is missing the first few tunes, but what’s there sounds great. https://archive.org/details/gd72-07-22.sbd.vernon.13562.sbeok.shnf/gd72-07-22d1t01.shn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted July 23, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 7/12/90 RFK. My last Brent show. People were coming up to me after Brent died.

Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 23, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 7/23/90. World Music Theater in Tinley Park, Illinois (Chicagoland). Brent’s last show, and a very good end to a smoking Summer Tour. Brent’s last lyric sung by himself: “I’ve got to go, but my friends can stick around...” Highlight for me was Cold Rain (because it’s always a highlight for me), and the first set closing with Cassidy, Truckin’->Nobody’s Fault Jam->Smokestack Lightning. RIP Brent. He sang Never Trust a Woman in the 3 slot here. Uno: Cold Rain & Snow, Picasso Moon, Good Time Blues, Stagger Lee, Cassidy, Truckin'-> Smokestack Lightning Dose: Victim Or The Crime-> Foolish Heart-> Women Are Smarter-> Terrapin Station, Drums-> Jam-> All Along The Watchtower-> Standing On the Moon-> Around & Around-> Good Lovin', E: The Weight https://archive.org/details/gd90-07-23.sbd.oconner.7612.sbeok.shnf/gd90-07-23d3t07.shn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted July 23, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I think Brent did a great job with a difficult task, fitting into the Grateful Dead after fifteen years. Jerry liked him, you could see that onstage. Bobby spoke highly of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 24, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 July 24. There are two shows from this date, and we covered the one with Dylan and that is the Oakland half of View From the Vault IV earlier in this thread, so now you get Soldier Field, 1994. Lots of new music in here, mixed with some of the oldest songs played by the baddest Band in the Land. Asterisk means Bobby played acoustic for that song. Uno: Mississippi Half Step, It's All Over Now, Roses, El Paso*, Loose Lucy, If The Shoe Fits, Easy Answers-> Don't Ease Me In Dose: Samson & Delilah, Way to Go Home, Eyes Of The World-> Eternity-> He's Gone-> Drums-> Space-> The Days Between-> Throwing Stones-> Not Fade Away E:Liberty https://archive.org/details/gd94-07-24.aud.candyman.10087.sbeok.shnf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set 1: Mississippi Half Step-> Franklin's Tower-> CC Rider, Bird Song, El Paso, Candyman, Lost Sailor-> Saint Of Circumstance-> Deal Set 2: Scarlet Begonias-> Fire On The Mountain-> Samson & Delilah, Crazy Fingers-> Estimated Prophet-> Drums-> Not Fade Away-> Black Peter-> Good Lovin' E: Don't Ease Me In https://archive.org/details/gd1982-07-25.fob.senn421.wise.miller.102502.flac16/gd82-07-25d2t06.flac 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound Quality is A+ Those summer '74 Slipknot jams were indeed fascinating. And what a sequence that is. How many were there? Likely deserves its own thread. No more than a handful, and certainly some were more fleshed out than others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two times that Slipknot was played when it did not involve Help on the Way and/or Franklin’s Tower were the first two times it was played. Both of those were Summer Tour, 1974 6/20/74 in Atlanta: Eyes of the World->Slipknot->China Doll 7/25/74 in Chicago: Dark Star->Slipknot->Stella Blue There were three shows in ‘75 and ‘76 that had Help/Slip/Franklin’s sandwiches of sorts (drums, other tunes mixed in). The only other variation to its normal placement was in Boston on 9/20/91, when the second set opened Help->Slip->Fire on the Mountain. Thanks for the prompt, John. That was fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 26, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 July 26, 1987. Anaheim, California. View from the Vault IV. Three sets, sports fans. Dead/Dead/Dylan+Dead. Cool audience recording.

Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 28, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Everyone knows about the OTHER show on July 28 (I hope!)... This beauty comes from Red Rocks, in 1982. Soundboards are great and all, but, personally, I love a good audience to help provide some ambience. Before Shakedown kicks in and begins to ROCK, enjoy the taper angst about some cat getting territorial with the taper credited here, Jim Wise. Such animosity just about mic placement, haha. At least we have proof that he - and his tapes - survived. Enjoy! https://archive.org/details/gd82-07-28.fob-senn421.wise.4980.sbefail.shnf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That angry taper banter is absolute gold. As an aside, the new '82 Red Rocks references, IMHO, are the Nak 700s with DBX noise reduction that were recently transferred from my Beta copies. Here's 7-28: https://archive.org/details/gd1982-07-28.142567.Anon.Severson.Weber-Small.Donaldson.Ammons.Noel.t-flac1644 More epic, however, is the same source from 7-29 which features an extended explosion by Phil like no other, which no other taper captured nearly this well. The board is useless, as it actually distorts (more like cuts out) during this savage passage; watch your levels...but I suppose that is for tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to this source of 7/29/82, sounds great so far. Looking forward to hearing Phil lay out the treachery ☠️ My speakers are safe right now listening to this out in the work truck. Also, thanks for the transfer and letting us hear it😇 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP Mango Posted July 29, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Brent's last show.... listened last week. His last solo line sung was "I've got to go but my friends can stick around". Definitely not in agreement that he was saying goodbye but it sure is synchronistic... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China->Crazy->Rider. https://archive.org/details/gd88-07-29.sbd.hayum.5395.sbeok.shnf/gd88-07-29d2t01.shn That could be the "best" show (scene, location, band kicking it down, etc) I saw. I recommend finding Sean Weber's spaced Schoeps omni recording as the source if it's on archive. That's the go to. Taping wasn't allowed due to David Lindley opener, so it was all stealth. I mean, seriously Lindley? You're going to unilaterally stop Heads from capturing this show because you're freaked about about your set going to tape? Get over yourself! This was right before I made the jump from taper section to FOB, and as we were completely unprepared to not be let in at the gate we dutifully trudged back to the car and put the gear away. When the Dead came on, however, there was nobody stopping open taping, so if you'd got your gear past the gate you were good. Some grizzled old big bearded hippy was running shotguns on a tall stand way over past the stacks on Phil's side. I was initially shaking my head at the guy's tactics, but when China Cat worked its way into Crazy Fingers I recall thinking this guy ain't looking so dumb after all. 😆 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
