Thinking more, the only "lame" part of this was my question in the first place. :no:

Not even. No questions = no answers.

Let me rephrase - Some of the shows are better than others just like any band.
Bickershaw's my favorite.
I also especially liked the Wembley shows.

I didn't like some as much as others but I'll play them again.
It was a great tour with no duds.

My copy is way too fast but it's from about 10 years ago.

I need to upgrade to the Charlie Miller version before I leave the house today :thmbsp:

Great show & the CM master sounds wayyyy better than my old copy.
Even pitch corrected they played blisteringly fast.

Back in the 70s we had a little trouble communicating about certain things.

We called it crank, some called it crystal & some called it meth.
What did they call it in SF or WA in 1968?
 
Grateful Dead ~ Go to Heaven (1980)

I'm trying again to listen to this whole album.
I have never been able to complete it at one sitting.
It's just too enormously awesome and I'm afraid I might stroke-out to it's incomparable significance. J/K :boring:
At least Alabama Getaway, Althea & Don't Ease Me In are on it.

Makes me want to tie my Lost Sailor stuffed bear to our car bumpers and idle it in two :nono:

This one'll fit in nicely if you have an Air Suppy/Firefall section in your collection.

nice! Dead set got ALOT of play in my house in the 80'S! Got to dust that one off soon

I had my 68 pressed Anthem of the Sun spinning while making dinner tonight, complete with "Faster we go" writing above the run out groove... Its a great album, way ahead of their time.
 
I have the Rolling Stone Magazine book "Garcia" found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...w?ie=UTF8&qid=1330094611&sr=1-3&condition=new
It's pretty good but 15 years old

I gave my wife A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead when it came out.
I started to read it recently but only dug in a few dozen pages.
It's good so far but I don't have patience for reading books these days.

The Amazon reader reviews look promising for your library borrow.

I read The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test back in High School in the mid 70s
It might not be for everyone but it was perfect for me :smoke:

Checked out Greenfield's "Dark Star" at the library yesterday. Any others you'd recommend? :scratch2:

Check out:
Phil's Searching for the Sound

Mcnally's Long Strange Trip

Parrish wrote a decent take, Home Before Daylight has an amazing cover photo of him and Jer!

Scully's book is junk. Jay Blakesburg has a nice photo/coffee book

By far, tho, in my eyes are "Deadbase" and "Tapers Compendiums vol1-3"

Drove about 250 miles round trip to scoop 500+ records for $80
It's about 1/2 rock and VG+ condition so yabba dabba doo

It involved transversing part of the Berkshires with lots of turns on Mass Rt. 8a
Good road for a good driver in a good car

I miss driving through the Berkshires, grew up skiing there, Mt Tom to be specific.
 
always remember kiddies regarding the Dead "They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do"
