At the end of this post, the game will still be on. 🤓 Neither Wharf Rat (1971) or Stella Blue (1972) were a part of the four shows in 1975 that cause so many songs to miss the cut.

Forum MVP DesertDead Posted July 28, 2020 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Just now, Greg from Chestertown said: Help/slip/frank Our man in Maryland might be thinking (wisely) that in order to win this game, one must ensure that 1975 is accommodated. We all know that HSF does that. But none of the three songs will end this game. 1. Help on the Way (1975). These songs were all introduced BEFORE 1975. It had many years that it was not played, to boot (76 through 82, 86 through 88). 2. Slipknot (1974) skipped the same years listed above for Help on the Way. 3. Franklin’s Tower WAS played every year after its debut, but since that debut was in 1975 and not before, this classic never had a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted July 28, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I'm not picking up on that 9-22-93 clue! As for Jack-A-Roe, that was missing for some time. I recall being at the bust out in Long Beach '88. And sadly, that was about the only memorable part of those Long Beach shows. It's wild to think that, despite the greatness that is 1977, many songs that would become mainstays were out of the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I should be more careful what I add to these, because that really was just a fun little side note, no clue at all. Mea culpa. ☺️ 5 minutes ago, sml said: Ramble On Rose/T Jed?

Forum MVP John A Posted July 28, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 The thing about '75, beyond there being only 4 shows, is that almost 1/2 the material was stuff from Blues For Allah that not only hadn't been done before '75 but that would never be done again. At this point it's just come down to randomly guessing Garcia first set mainstays until somebody hits pay dirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, I picture all of you, my friends that I’ve never met, all over the country, reciting playlists and thinking out loud about Jerry tunes, and it’s awesome. 1975 is such a mystery to most of us. Only four shows! 16 minutes ago, John A said: The thing about '75, beyond there being only 4 shows, is that almost 1/2 the material was stuff from Blues For Allah that not only hadn't been done before '75 but that would never be done again.

I intend on summarizing all of the songs that could have reasonably been guessed for this when we’re finished, but at the rate we’re going, we are going to cover all of those before we find the winner. We can talk about Bobby songs that only missed by one year: BIODTL (1966). This would beat out even NFA for continuity, except it was not played in 1976. Let it Grow (1973). No 1975. Playin’ in the Band (1971). No 1975. Promised Land (1971). No 1975. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It Must Have Been the Roses was rare in one regard: the words AND music were by Hunter. First played at the first show of 1974, February 22 at Winterland, Roses was played every year straight through to 1995, where it came to rest in Albany on June 22. 🌹🌹🌹 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
