Official Grateful Dead Thread

check out this article on the Jerry Garcia and Vince Guaraldi connection from 72:

http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/

Good read and a great blog :thmbsp:

There's an unusual, very cool Garcia solo/jam on disc 3 of that Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham NC on 12/8/73 I started playing earlier.
The unusual thing is it's just Jerry soloing with some drum background, the rest of the band must have taken a smoke break.
It starts just before 5:00 into The Other One and lasts a few minutes.

Check it out.

quote from my post 12/23/12:

I gave my wife A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead when it came out.

I started to read it about a year ago.
I'd get a chapter or so read then put it aside for months.
I've been reading it again the past few weeks and I'm almost finished with it.
It's been a long strange read but very entertaining and informative.
I'd recommend it to anyone seriously interested in GD history.

I'll probably read it again from the beginning when I finish it.

EDIT 3/18/13: I finished it and I'm reading it again :tresbon:

Star Theatre in Phoenix on 3/8/70 - Charlie Miller -> http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=544673

^ features a local High School kid that jumped on stage and belted out some totally ballsey, totally obnoxious vocal rapping.
They let him stay but the soundman finally mixed him down during NFA.
Helluva set of lungs for a HS kid lol.
I can't think of another band that would let him stay.
100x worth the listen just for the smile, smile, smile factor.

and a stub from The Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis on 2/2/70

This is the better (imo) of the recordings of this show at Archive, and is still a VERY thin sounding audience recording.
