I couldn't make it to the movies tonight so I'm watching The Grateful Dead Movie (Blu-Ray) at home.

copy/paste from the last time I watched it:

Sorry but there's no mute-Donna setting.

Holy ****. They're rigging the Wall Of Sound. Holy ****.

^Thanks.

The seamons' matrix shows are sweet.

My wife has been especially digging the Weir, Robinson, and Greene shows. Of course, she loves Chris Robinson.
 
Playing CD3 of that Baltimore Civic Center on 5/26/77 show from a few posts back. Get it :thmbsp:


I just checked some lyrics @ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~mleone/dead-lyrics.html - Here's one for ya:


Mason's Children

Mason died on Monday, we bricked him in the wall
All his children grew and grew, they ain't never grown so tall before
They may never grow so tall again

We dug him up on Tuesday, he hardly aged a day
Taught us all we ever knew, we ain't never known so much before
We may never know so much again

The wall collapsed on Wednesday, we chalked it up to fate
Mason's children ran and flew, they ain't never run so fast before
Swore they'd never show their face again

Mason was a mighty man, a mighty man was he
Always said when I'm dead I'm gone, don't you weep for me

Thursday came then Friday, with buyers tall and bright
Mason's children cooked the stew and cleaned up when the feast was through

Take me to the repo-man to pay back what is owed
If he's in some other land write it off as stole

Opinion of Dicks picks I see they are available for stream on mog. Are there any favorites I should try?

It depends on what era Dead you prefer.

Fan favorites are Dick's Picks 4 & Dick's Picks 8

I also like Dick's Picks 16 and any date with Hard To Handle on it such as Dick's Picks 35

Browse around on that thebestofwebsite site.

Here's their Favorite versions of Grateful Dead songs page http://www.thebestofwebsite.com/Bands/Grateful_Dead/Misc/Grateful_Dead_Songs.htm

There's a shitload of links and stuff on the first few pages of this thread

I had 4 fourth row tickets to the 1975 Boston Garden Led Zeppelin concert that got cancelled :(

...so my first concert was BadCo August 6 1977 at the Garden a few months after this Dead show.
To buy a ticket I scurried around North Station pinching joints-worth of High Times Top 40 Lumbo into peoples hands because I ran out of papers.
$9 for a close floor seat minutes before they started :thmbsp:

6/21/71 Grateful Dead in Herouville, France - http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=81444

The Charlie Miller remaster is available here for streaming: http://archive.org/details/gd1971-06-21.sbd.miller.94356.flac16
or here for download (slow): http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=518339

It's in PAL format so I had to use VSO's Divx to DVD program to convert it to NTSC before burning to DVD

from The Trader's Den:

Interviews

The group's most exotic gig in 1971 was a one-shot in France.

"We went over there to do a big festival, a free festival they were gonna have, but the festival was rained out. It flooded. We stayed at this little chateau which is owned by a film score composer who has a 16-track recording studio built into the chateau, and this is a chateau that Chopin once lived in; really old, just delightful, out in the country near the town of Auvers sure Oise, which is where Vincent Van Gogh is buried. …" Garcia said.

"We were there with nothing to do: France, a 16-track recording studio upstairs, all our gear, ready to play, and nothing to do. So, we decided to play at the chateau itself, out in the back, in the grass, with a swimming pool, just play into the hills. We didn't even play to hippies, we played to a handful of townspeople in Auvers. We played and the people came — the chief of police, the fire department, just everybody. It was an event and everybody just had a hell of a time — got drunk, fell in the pool. It was great."

--Jerry Garcia--
