Cincinnati battled Georgia in last year’s bowl game. But other than that one, recent example, it sure does seem impossible.

ND beat USC. It is a fantastic day.

Phish. They’re pretty good. 😎

if this thread would have started a month ago you’d be saying how Clemson is a lock. my point remains, the games do need to be played. perhaps Iowa can beat the buckeyes, etc.

They played head to head. Not just you, RD, but the mental gymnastics that we see to skirt this fact is funny to me. Can I tell BS that the Irish deserve in more than Cincinnati, too?

Set 2 BigRR. Promised Land to end the second? Si, por favor!

Anti West Coast post here. Oregon controls its destiny from my point of view. Hard for Ohio State to argue against them this year. I see these teams in for sure: Georgia Cincinnati Oklahoma Last spot to either Oregon or Alabama. B1G cannibalizes itself, with Ohio State probably beating everyone, but Oregon handled their chances in the Shoe. My Irish probably end around 6 in POCOM poll. Maybe get Michigan or Iowa in Fiesta?

(This is a Notre Dame fan saying nothing) 😑 Congrats on the win last week, though, 69!

July 11, 1969. New York. Bobby with a brick *joke*. Air quotes because it’s not funny unless you’re mighty high. https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/07-11-1969

July 7, 1987 was Roanoke, Virginia. Interesting list, West LA set 2 opener. Apparently a very small venue. https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/07-07-1987

Happy 4th from 1981, Austin, Texas. Rooster is >10 minutes. Take Bart Simpsons just in case. https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1981/07/04/little-red-rooster?source=92847

June 1, 1991. Los Angeles Coliseum. I never paid attention to this show before today. Seems like the vibe was not kynd from what is shared in this write-up. 17 minute Shakedowns are good, though. Love the double opener pairings for the first four songs. https://www.gratefuldeadoftheday.com/06-01-1991

5-5-90, South Central Los Angeles. Twas Derby Day. I played the hell out of this tape. Note the H/S/F placement in the three slot. https://archive.org/details/gd1990-05-05.dsbd.nickspicks.4850.shnf

April 27, 1985 was in Palo Alto, California. Come for the Cold Rain, MNS...stay for the Scarlet->Eyes of the World->GDTRFB. Cookin. Very highly regarded show for 1985. https://archive.org/details/gd85-04-27.sbd.jerugim.359.sbeok.shnf/gd85-04-27d1t08.shn

The Archive still has a nice board of this one for those who just need a taste. https://archive.org/details/gd78-04-15.sbd.cotsman.7047.sbefail.shnf/gd78-04-15d1t03.shn “No man’s land, the only game in town...”

this bit made me literally lol, AC hope all is cool, brotha

Great call, Bill. The hippie scene in Memphis and on Beale Street was a sight to behold. What a blast! Final Memphis Blues, appropriately.

If only there was a kickass show from March 29... 😂

Well if you haven’t already jumped in, let me tell you that you are in for a fucking treat! I’d start naming tunes, but that would just be redundant. Not a bad effort by the taper, either. 😎

How about a Rob Eaton/Charlie Miller soundboard for today, boys and girls? Vegas, Aladdin. 3/26/83. https://archive.org/details/gd1983-03-26.140315.sbd.eaton.miller.clugston.flac1648

Sup, John? Hope you and yours remain safe and sound out there. Gots to be Phil on this comment about LLR. Please confirm...🥸

Here’s a matrix of 3/20/92 in Hamilton, Ontario. A top show for 1992 in everyone’s book. https://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-20-1992

Lots of St. Paddy’s Day shows to choose from. But in 1993, they trotted out Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds for the first time. https://archive.org/details/gd93-03-17.sbd.ladner.4979.sbeok.shnf/gd1993-03-17d2t04.shn

March 16. Nassau, 1973. Free up some time and enjoy this ride. https://archive.org/details/gd1973-03-16.sbd.miller.79186.sbeok.flac16/gd73-03-16d1t02.flac

Let’s bring 2021 into the world of TIGDH with January 6, 1978. A smoking and pretty fun show at Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, California that is memorable for reasons other than the show that was held there in February 1977 that you might have heard of: this one has Garcia singing in set 1, but he calls it quits for vocals in set 2 due to laryngitis (too much, too fast over NYE, Jer?). Note some banter and a stupid Weir joke in set 1, how very gently Jerry sings when he does, and the Truckin, as it promises to get you moving. Bonus Intel: the two shows that followed were in San Diego, and neither one of those shows had any Garcia vocals at all. Can someone say “rain check?!” https://archive.org/details/gd78-01-06.sbd.clugston.6953.sbeok.shnf/gd78-01-06d1t03.shn
