April 8, 1972. London. Two words: Dark and Star. Meeting over 😎. https://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-08-1972

Spring Tour 1988, anyone? Wister, Mass. (iykyk) Around and Around to close set 1; Box encore. https://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/04-07-1988

This Eyes out of Space is outrageous; what a fucking party that must have been. It’s like a Vegas version of Eyes lol; must listen…

This one for my guy, Tea. Ann Arbor, 4/5/89. Very kynd “Healy Ultra” mix here. Cumby fake out for Bobby. I bet Jerry knew precisely what he was doing. 😛 https://archive.org/details/gd89-04-05.sbd-matrix.kowalski.1091.sbeok.shnf/gd89-04-05d2t03.shn

April 4, 1985 Lemieux played first half of set 2 on TIGDH today and it caught my ear. Miracle->Crazy Fingers was so fresh and so clean (clean)… https://archive.org/details/gd85-04-04.oade-schoeps.sacks.23848.sbeok.flacf/gd85-04-04oade-d3t05.flac

As a PDX resident this may resonate with you, but if they’re not specific with how they govern camping and humans in California, it will turn into a new city overnight. I agree that it will work out for you somehow, but the thoughts you’ve ready shared indicate that you’re crafty enough to get it done. Perhaps the Skull and Roses site has a chat function or other resources through which you can communicate? Heck, even asking them directly wouldn’t hurt. Is there a way to post on Cash or Trade for such a topic? RudeDog May know… Safe travels! DD

Funny that I was just yesterday also calculating that it was indeed 30 years ago for those, because I am reuniting with a great friend at the Phish Greek shows that I went “in and out of the Gardens” in Fall 1993, Once I thought for a moment, the math is easy, haha. Right on, Billy - can’t wait until our next show together! 😎 (Get out West, ffs!) 😝🥳 DD

Indeed, the sort of thing that one may normally whistle past the graveyard in knowing that I happened to attend both of those shows. They were both in 1993. And they were both the 7th out of 7 shows in a row for me. 1. March 18 - Cap Center. The Way2Go>Wave horror was somewhat diminished in that they didn’t take the place of songs, i.e. they followed China>Rider and then got Estimated>Terrapin to follow. Make no mistake, I (likely) wasn’t thrilled at the time, but at least they didn’t shorten the set, at least from a song count standpoint. This set had Bruce on accordion. 2. June 23 - Deer Creek. This show was like a trip on the struggle bus (pun intended), until it wasn’t. After the Way2>Wave was a run of music that everyone here should hear. Terrapin> JAM!> Drums/Space> Dark Star> Wheel> Good Love e: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds So while Way2Go was sometimes pretty good by this point, Wave2theWind was never on my wishlist. But these shows had some other things to console us, despite that horror… Here’s the Deer Creek show. Get in there today, that jam is a monstrosity. Terrapin as we know it as well as reality begins to be left behind at around the 12-minute mark. https://archive.org/details/gd1993-06-23.sbd.miller.108984.flac16

Any post coma GDTR is always an indicator of a great show. Anyone can try to test this theory…🤓

Here in PHX The Noodles play every Sunday. They’re really good, and a lot of fun. Next week they will celebrate 26 years of playing. They used to be at Full Sail Inn, now they play at Cactus Jack’s. Check em out if you’re in AZ.

I see that hiding before Johnny is Goode! First 3 of set 2 also appear to be righteous. Thanks, Bill.

Bump to make this the top thread

I’ve heard of him 🙃

Yeah, I’m sure your status after this run you hit was due to the climate 😂🥳

The structure of that first set is about ideal, right? Cold Rain and Snow is possibly the coolest song ever written. Big River, let’s keep grooving. FOTD, Jer stretches things out, but we’re still moving around. Cassidy, a taste of jam land. Roses, sing along smoke break. Lazy Lightning>Supplication, set is transitioning into deeper territory TJed, Jer brings everyone back together LLR, I personally like it better about 13 years later, but ok Bobby Scarlet, enough said Promised Land, shake your tail feathers to end it Anyway, I dig it and am sure it was fun

this reads like an homage to green eggs and ham hahaha

Ventura is a wonderful place to be. If you can, get there.

i hope you get well soon. And Happy Thanksgiving! DD

Came into the thread looking for it, found it 🤓

Absolutely. And with 2 and 3 playing each other, they seem to control their playoff inclusion. Win ND and P12 CG and they’re in. You know how I’m hoping that works out. If Georgia wins out. And Ohio State wins out. And TCU wins out. And USC loses a game. Who becomes 4th playoff team? Clemson whose sole loss is to a Jekyll/Hyde Notre Dame? Michigan whose sole loss is to #2 Ohio State? Might be the answer if the loss is respectable. North Carolina really let an opportunity slip away by losing last night. Their sole loss was (also) to ND before that, and winning out and beating Clemson could have given it to them. LSU will see that they’re in if they can beat Georgia in that scenario. If they can avoid letting aTm sneak up on them in what will be that team’s bowl game. Emphasis on bowl. 😎

not if South Carolina keeps slapping Tennessee Jed lol not sure if serious, that Illinois (or anyone else Michigan has played so far this season) is “top level competition”? Regardless, they’ll obviously get in if they beat Ohio State, deservedly so…

Love me some morning coffee and updates from you on tour, Bill. Peace and be safe out there. DD

Cue John to tell us he delivered that child! 😄

I’ll guess Georgia Ohio State Tennessee Michigan Because TCU will spit the bit and ND will beat USC. North Carolina will replace Michigan if they lose badly to Ohio State and UNC runs out including ACC CG. Their sole loss to ND on a day when “good ND” showed up. So basically you can bet on something other than this occurring since I’ve now predicted it! 😂
