any1 got a recording of powderfinger from rooftop or conn and cfmwh from wilkes barre? thanks. happy 4.

grateful dead thought their woodstock performance sucked and wouldnt allow it in the film. in retrospect--- a big mistake. that lovelight was LIT~ that lovelight was LIT~

was the lovelight 35 mins?

who did the ken babbs rant

was yesterday upside down thursday?

big johns been drinkin since the river took emmy lou.

ok first off, i wasn't even lucky enough to be at this show. but i just listened to some of this one on archive and i'm still amazed by the lack of interest being shown. i'll just go straight to my two happy places: morning dew opener, which is pretty pretty pretty darn hot. lets forget if its hot or not ok. its a freakin morning dew opener. listen this isnt a 1967 show where they sometimes opened with dew. this is a "modern" elective show. i dont think after the rfk 1973 shows with the allman brothers, the band ever opened with dew again. i mean after playin that version, the band musta been confused and thought they were done. what, we've got 2 more sets, thought that was it. i mean that is a closer morning dew version. crazy. and i had to jump straight to cfmwh. that is just a sick sick version. man i wanna here wilkes barre again to see if its like that. thats heavy. and the encore: wdwdiitr / love the one youre with. come on. this show is redonkulous. gotta listen to the rest but this stuff is just nuts. and oh btw the first set-- just music-wise is 90+ minutes. a first set that ended with sugar mag/scarlet/gdtr. huh? who knows how long the set was with breaks. i mean thats a loooong first set. theres a lot to unpack there. peeps hello? who was there? was everyone just deluged under so much water that they didnt hear or realize what they were getting. unreal.

elective morning dew opener----WHAAAATTTTTT???!!!!!!!!!

---...... from the Egypt shows. Egypt. You talkin Egypt? I know you aint talkin Egypt. The biggest hot mess this side of Mesopotamia. Shows, sound and playin so bad the Good Ole set fire to the tapes and completely scrapped their planned live album. Maybe the Nomads, Sphynx and Pyramids had a blessed blast. But this memory best left buried beneath the sands of time underneath the tomb of Tutankhamun.

just listened to stagger on archive and it does sound weak. but then again stagger always did. then listened to jack and tleo and they both sound sharp. so there it is.

help/slip/powderfinger a fella can dream cant he?

Red means run Son Numbers add up to nothin.

who sang powderfinger? would love to hear that. any recordings? look out mama theres a.............

I'm not here to bury Caesar, I'm here to praise him. The first night of Wilkes Barre has unfortunately turned into the ugly stepchild of the weekend. And I get it because of the utter unreal stupendousness of Saturday night from start to finish. HOWEVER, the first set Friday night, a re-creation from Spring '77, was one of the finest first sets I've evah had the pleasure of seeing, Grateful, DSO, or otherwise. Any 11-song first set that begins with Music Never Stopped (which I never saw as a show opener), and closes with Scarlet/Fire (which I never saw as a first-set closer), is really one for the books. And I mean that literally. I could be wrong but I believe this show was the only time ever that that combo happened that way. So that is pretty remarkable. And we just saw it. I mean does does it even matter what came inbetween? But if what came between is, oh I don't know, Friend Of The Devil, Brown Eyed, Ramble, and a completely gorgeous Looks Like Rain, and I do mean GORGEOUS, well buster, you've got yourself one heck of a set. That's a keeper.

Thanks BK. BTW Dino even nailed the classic Ginger Baker drum splash during Home. So great.
