Herbie Hancock’s Watermelon Man album is maybe the the best thing ever. That is All.

Very good quality! The Clementine, New Potato, and Spanish Jam are flat-out AMAZING!!! http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1968/1/20/clementine Enjoy!

Playboy after dark! Killer Mountains http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1969/1/18/mountains-of-the-moon A little uneven in spots but the 2nd set is fun! http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1978/1/18/mississippi-half-step Solid - 2nd set is quite good http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1979/1/18-1/i-need-a-miracle

http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1969/1/17/cryptical-envelopment A literally devistating Other One - kick-drum and all. http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1970/1/17/dark-star Listening now...Never heard this one before I dont think... EDIT: I need listen to more Dark Stars than I already do. This one sparkles for me

Don't think I've ever played this show before - till this morning! The Dancin is gold as is the NFA (despite not being an NFA fan)! The dancin is super-funky and clocks-in at a cool 25mins. This includes about an 8-min back and forth between Jerry and Billy which is pretty neat! Jerry is feelin 'IT' during NFA http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1979/01/12-1/dancing-in-the-street Happy Weekend Dorkstars!

It’s a ripper http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1978/1/11-3/saint-stephen

I want someone to have a listen to the TLMD here and the lauded MSG version and see how it stacks up http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/9/18-9/to-lay-me-down The solo inside of Knockin (yes, knockin) is pretty damn awesome. http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14/knockin-on-heavens-door Somebody give this shit a listen and see if I'm going gaga or it's just another show. 12/14 was even panned by some - no bleeping way.

http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14/tuning (Use the Charlie Miller SBD) 12/14/90 - Everyone thought this was the weakest of the 3 nite run. Setlist suggested it and there are a couple valleys but this was still solid gold. Everything is speeded up - and I don't mean the source TLMD - compare this to MSG 1990 http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14-1/to-lay-me-down Let It Grow - fast fingers and bombs http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14-1/let-it-grow Foolish Heart - Sick Midi http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14-1/foolish-heart He’s Gone - It's almost too fast - lol! Check out the post-jam - Unbelievable! http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14/hes-gone Women-R-Smarter - There’s only one - it’s that good. http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/14/man-smart-woman-smarter This 3-show run was the best post-Brent I would ever see. It just all came together after a pretty tough stretch. My brother + I still wish each other happy 12/12, 12/13 + 12/14 every year. 27 and counting...

the 2nd nite of the legendary 1990 McNichols run was no slouch despite the bomb from the nite before: http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/13-3/tuning Good Jack Straw to kick it off and a beautiful Ramble On (check out the soaring MIDI). Great H>S>F a turbo Eyes, Other One > Dew with a rare Box closer. Of all these gems - check out the Saint of Circumstance. We still miss The Sailor but this thing absolutely cooks. Give it a spin ⚡️

3rd row Jerry - never saw anything quite like it before or again. Post Brent but dismiss at your peril. http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1990/12/12-2

Dancin in the Streets Dancin in the Streets Oops - didn’t know this would post as a topic. Hoping to catch Wanee in 2018 - anyone else?

A Bobby Fans dream! Only 2 jerry tunes in the 2nd?!? At least they were those

Well where did you come from? http://www.beach-net.com/ochideout/music/5-19-3.mp3 That Lovelight ❤️ Just Wow. Will DSO ever recreate 5/19......?

Cape Cod - 1979 http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1979/10/27/tuning Dancin > Franklins Indy State Fair - 1973 http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1973/10/27 He’s Gone > Truckin > Nobody’s Fault Jam > Wharf Rat

Dark Star: The musical Rorschach test

Like this excerpt: "We watched many a pastel colored yuppie suck down frozen mixed drinks, oblivious to the seriousness of the first set. By the time Drums was hitting us, these poor folks were literally crawling up the aisles, covered in their own sick, trying to get out of the cauldron. A bizarre sight, but I am sure if had been partaking of anything psychoactive that night, I would have been right down there with them." Or this one perhaps: "If you want to take a journey into your psyche and see what associations lie in wait - fear not for the whole world is in this one Dark Star...tv static, racquetball courts, time-machines, medieval torture, insect communication, funeral horns of new orleans, buddhist scripture, worldbeat, witches incantations, ice-ages, wars, raga, muzak, volcanoes, black holes, peruvian indigenous sounds, crawling, creeping, gliding, seething ends, beginnings, and tight rope walking over some huge abyss." LOL!

Lying in a tent in the backyard while lightning and thunder put on a show for me and the kids! “Dad this is really cool - where’s Mom though?”

Agreed - Brent was really great and Jerry loved him to pieces but Blow Away, Hey Pockey, and and his lead in Dear Mr. Fantasy were his only showcase songs that really ever put me over the top. I had to think a minute about a few of your acronyms but I eventually got 'em
