It's been a while since I've listened to this obscure gem: Ken Nordine w/Jerry Garcia and David Grisman - Devout Catalyst


Here's a track from the CD where they are joined by Tom Waits:

I think I typed the date correctly this time!
 
That pic was from Summer Tour 1990, Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Great show and great tour, one of the best years of my life...

Always loved that pic. Was also the site of my final night with Jer, 6/30/95 a few years later

I was at that show, it was hot as f&ck, do you remember when they hit the first notes of "Rain" to open 2nd set it started downpouring?

Will never forget it....

"Who can the weather command?"

Rain>Box of Rain>Samba in the Rain>Looks like Rain>Terrapin Station....

With the rain parting at the end of LLR to set the stage for that Terrapin. It was uncanny and the crowd was just nuts. One of my aud tapes has the 2 or 3 minutes before the 2nd set and its crazy to listen to the thunder clap "call and response" with the crowd. Helluva a way to end my run with jer. Have a framed pic of Jerry with Rosebud during Standing on the Moon that night on my desk to this day..... The wheels were coming off the bus that summer for sure, but things felt really good that night for one last go round.

Thanks for reminding me....:smoke:
 
Just finished listening to--and watching--the Closing of Winterland, or at least for the first set of it. I've had this DVD set for years and I've never actually sat down and watched.
I think I differ from most Deadheads when I say this, but 1978 was one of my favorite years.
 
I like 78 too. I generally prefer 77, but 78 was excellent.

My favorite eras, lose.y defined, in order:

1. 72-74
2. 76-78
3. 87-90
4. 80-86
5. 66-71
6. 90's

One could argue that several of those eras need to be broken down further, but for my listening, that's how I define them. YMMV.
 
Saw all the shows at the Boston music hall in 73. 3 nights I believe. They had the full wall of sound system. I ushered those shows, and saw the dead in their prime. I was about 16 or so. They played the UMass spring concert about 4 years later another great scene. I saw them several times in later years, but those early shows were the most memorable to me.

Dead heads

Have to get my son on this site. WONDERFUL.

I caught the dead in the 70's. Life, kids, work & I lost them. My son, 23 years later, is playing a bootleg. I'm kicking back, digging it, & he looks up in shock - say's Damn you know these guys!'

We been playing them for 20 years.
