Seriously?
About time...I bought two of those Terrapin Station CD sets, and they said the bucks were going to go to The Station.
Jefe...No worries mate--I got the CD and the DVD. I just couldn't listen to 'em until now-----I didn't want to spoil the memories.
BTW, what is your favorite RELEASED live show? DP #3 sure smokes.

I really like DP19
Oklahoma City 10/19/73
The caveat on the back cover reads:
"Despite a rather skeevy ouverture, the sound quality of this release quickly settles into a nice, warm groove. Listen closely, however, for you may just find that your mind will be blown by the music contained herein."
Highlights for me are
Dark Star>
Mind left body>
Morning Dew
And the encore
Eyes>Stella>Johnny B Goode
73 Jazzy style.
Of course, there are others....!

Thanks Jefe--I'm throwin' that in my ride today. Looks to sound Sweet!
If you have it, the last Road Trips (Denver '73) has a most amazing Wharf Rat. I listened to the first disc and thought "Well, that's nice," but then put in the 2nd. I found myself pretty darn happy. Coming out of Playin' and into WR, my emotions overtook me.
I waited a couple of weeks to see if I was just influenced by the Moon. Naw, those notes brought up those same feelings. Funny how music can make me cry with joy.

DP19 is definately one of my all time faves. The MLBJ is out there and the post-lyrics Eyes way rocks out. Keith pounds the JBG encore.
Fairground venues were the t!ts.
I've had early 71 making the circuit on my deck for the past few days. Heard "Oh Boy" and "I'm a Hog for You" on the commute. You can hear the boys smiling. Love the Pig.

Edit: my favorite official release is the 1973 Winterland box set. The Friday night show was my birthday; went to the Saturday night show which was so amazing we had to go back Sunday. The Sunday show stands as one of the best concert experiences ever - jazzy exploration, low key, no one in a hurry, small audience...I am truly grateful to have been there. Hearing those shows again with the release of that box set confirmed that I had witnessed something very special that weekend.

Yeah nibs, good stuff. Pretty good catalog representation in those discs. I'm a sucker for 73.
Now, I'm not a full Donna Hater, but to hear 73 style without her is just awesome.
DP14 from the Boston Music Hall displays this quite nicely. One drummer, no Donna(prego), the boys were a sweet five piece.
The story in the liner notes describes the scene on the first night of the run when the band was late, which they never were in those days. The crowd is wondering what's up. The curtain finally goes up to reveal an empty stage and for the next 3 hours the crowd gets to watch the crew set up the scaled down Wall of Sound. They open with Morning Dew, which is esentially a 15 minute soundcheck.
The first set ends with a 23 minute Playin.
The second set includes other classic 73 stylings with a Weather Report, a Dark Star jam, and of course a beautiful Eyes of the World.

Then, in stark contrast, we have
DP10
Winterland. 12/29/77
This is a full on, high energy show.
I love the Jack Straw opener(always a good omen, especially for us Tucson heads ).
The whole show is off the charts and the mix is {{{perfect}}}.
As the liner notes for this one say,
"The band played with the subtlety of a sledgehammer"
and
"This ain't no background music, turn that f*#ker UP!"
Yep, 77

Indeed, that was a good show. I remember exactly where I was when they played that Jack Straw, and each time I hear the disc it takes me right back--Stage Right, a couple of rows up on the balcony, great view of Cpt'n Garcia.

Once again, confirmation...
I was born too late,
blame it on a
Simple twist of fate.
Besides this and the Swing,
What other legendary shows did you see?

My first show was Pig's last.... (He didn't play too much.)
But lucky are the souls who saw the '71 Palladium show.
Damn!
They finally found the board tapes for that one. You can catch some of the Aud tape on DP #35. Then they released some of the board on Road Trips Vol 1 #3, the extra disc only. Yep, *the* Hard To Handle, most amazing. Most Amazing. Also, a super jumpin' Mr. Charlie too. And the most beautiful of Beautifuls, Brokedown Palace. Except that Garcia totally clams a note in the middle of the solo, Ouch!

All these shows from the seventies are, of course, the sh#t. Love them.
But I'm an 80's Deadhead!
So the sound of Brents voice and keys really brings me back.
Lest we forget the great years of the early 80's.
When Jerry's voice was still relatively fresh, Brent had added new energy, and great new songs were in the rotation.
Plus TIGER! C'mon now!!!
Go To Nassau
5/15-16/80
Although not a complete show, this release killz it with nuggets plucked from a few nights.
If you like a mix of old and new, this ones gottit.
Everything from
High Time and NFA>GDTRFB to
Far From Me and Lost Sailor>Saint.
Definitely my favorite 80's official release.
Sooo goood.

the doctor here, as p-envy. I was at 5/14/80 at Nassau. Didn't even know I was seeing Comes a Time.then they cancelled 5/7/81 and played a day early instead and that turned out to be the final Caution Jam out of the Bobby Sands He's Gone. anybody got 8/26/71 from Bronx, Ny Gaelic Park. I grew up right there but was only 7 years old, I was probably at the bowling alley next door.

Another August 9th...
We miss you Jerry!
When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
and the hot sun chills me to the bone.
When i can't hear the song for the singer
and I can't tell my pillow from a stone.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river,
sing me a song of my own.
When the last bolt of sunshine hits the mountain
and the stars start to splatter in the sky.
When the moon hits the southwest horizon
with the scream of an eagle on the fly.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Listen to the ripples as they moan.
Black muddy river, roll on forever
I don't care how deep or wide
if you got another side.
Roll muddy river,
black muddy river roll.
When it seems like the night will last forever
and there's nothing left to do but count the years.
When the strings of my heart begin to sever
stones fall from my eyes instead of tears.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Dream me a dream of my own.
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
Sing me a song of my own.

"I miss Jerry" says the sign on Phil's amp.
Couldn't agree more.
Pate: That '68 show sound like it'd be Wow.
Matt: My big Bro got us some box seats at the H-wood Bowl show. I was a young-un, and completely straight. That show stood me on my head for a week, I couldn't believe/handle what I'd seen. I remember watching Jerry walk on stage and said to myself "Wow, that guys head looks like a black dot." And that other dude, he's got a pony tail! I didn't even know Pig was in the band...kinda sad looking back.
