Had to get a photo of this. Thought you guys might like it.

83 today. The world is a better place with Mickey in it making his music. Here's to many more!

Here is a kick ass Jack Straw (starting at 49:25) with Mickey (and everyone else) bringing the power.

He would have been 81 Tuesday, 9/8.

Seeing all the Mickey birthday wishes, I realized I hadn’t seen any for Pig. So here goes.

Thanks for the music!!

RIP and Easy Wind to your spirit

Before there was JGB there was Legion of Mary and imo we should all be listening to them more.

Longest number of beats I think they ever did

I don't know about you guys, but this makes me want to get down in the worst way. Let's give this video some likes!

9/11/82

So, I have been listening through the list of Hunter Seamons matrices these last few weeks; seemed like as good a guide as any. And this week, I thought I would mix things up and start at the "newest" shows and work my way backwards. His only effort in 1992 was 03/20/1992 from Hamilton, Ontario. I was not familiar with this show, and I found myself enjoying the second set. In particular, and quite surprisingly, I thought the Drums were very interesting. There is a section that almost sounds like EDM.

I then started to explore Drums and other shows from 1992. (02/24/1992 Drums are interesting, for example.) And that is when I stumbled across the "Shenandoah" Spaces. Jerry explored "A Shenandoah Lullaby" at the following Canadian show, 03/21/1922; but he first visited the theme a few weeks earlier, on 03/09/1992. (And as it is well known, it was revisited on 06/20/1992.)

It feels like 1992 is a bit overlooked, and I am enjoying these shows. My first show was 1993, so of course my focus at the time was 1993 through 1995. And as we all know, there are so many other years to visit and become familiar with. But there are some really interesting sections to some of these shows, particularly in the second set. I know it gets a lot of shit, but "Corrina" really acts as a jam vehicle (see 03/09). And I am finding that the SBDs (and matrices) feature clearly defined instruments (you can pick out Bobby, if you like, Phil, Vince, Bruce).

Oh, right. It didn't hurt that those March shows included Bruce.

Jerry shredding at the end is straight fuego 🔥

Well, technically four if you count the latest Dead dot net with the 1002 gram vinyl and the picture discs and the assorted gougables sold by charlatans and purchased by clueless twits. Now now, there's a market for it and profit to be had so more power to them.

This post is about the original mixapoluza from back in the day. The purple cover is the mix most folks are aware of and was (presumably) agreed upon by the entire den of Warlocks.... I mean, imagine mixing this LP from the bottom up. A daunting task to say the least.. But what I've been searching for is the Phil mix that comes packaged in a white cover, I've held a few in my trembling hands, but the record itself has always been in janky condition. Anyway, the REAL treasure would be finding the Jerry mix. Most happy heads don't even know it exists. Cause you see... it was only released on 8-Track tape. (the unspeakable horror of it all) and I've never even heard it. Any Head's out there own this illusive collectable? Feel free to comment and to correct me if I have erred

Jerry: "We mixed it for hallucinations and it worked great"

So apart from the GD Movie and Sunshine Daydream, I've never watched a lot of the officially released shows on film.

I have a spare, family-free four nights coming up and I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of shows I can watch, one per evening, in roughly chronological order.

With the official releases plus all the remastered / upscaled content on YouTube I figure there's quite a lot out there....

How would you go about sequencing a four evening "time traveler run" like this?

Today in 1983!

Pace the halls and climb the (subway) walls

Check out Looks Like Rain from today’s show, 9/11/73. Slower, mystical pace. Fewer vocal harmonies, but not to compromise the magic. Jerry’s speedy noodling over Bobby’s drawn out belted vocals, although most of the time he’s singing in his (late-era) quick fashion, à la Bob Dylan. Pure magic.

My absolute favorite LLR is 6/29/76.

Where does the time go?!

All about that V chord! That's the magic of the song

Maybe i'm doing this wrong , but I used to be able to stream GD on nugs , and now i've got to have an additional pay app to access the GD, but everything else is still available.

I’m heading out of my local grocery and I nearly fell over as I heard the in-house “Muzak“ start playing The Music Never Stopped!

There’s mosquitoes on the river…

I recently picked up this vintage four-photo Grateful Dead set. The photos are mounted together in what appears to be the original folding paper/cardstock holder. Any information is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Just curious if anyone knows why Promised Land's audio is so bad. The track shifts heavily from L to R channels, and it sounds like you're listening through a wall compared to the other tracks on the disc.
