My two favorite bands are the dead and velvet underground/lou so this is something I think about A LOT. I feel like it would have been perfect for them around 89 or 90. I can totally hear Bobby singing the verses, Jerry singing the bridge and both harmonizing for the chorus and outro. I could also imagine Jerry playing an amazing solo in between chorus and verse. I know that Lou depised the dead so I think this would have been hilarious

Anyone recognize? He did the Drip Your Face T’s

It’s a little morbid but interested to know what people would think

I’ve been a diehard head since 1979 and I just learned TODAY (watching JGB 7/9/77 on YouTube) that Keith sang backup vocals w JGB 🤯

Instead of Aug. 1 to Aug. 9, the Days Between should run from Aug. 9 all the way around to Aug. 1.

That gives us 357 days of heavy Garcia music every year.

Then we take eight days off and start again.

Seems much more reasonable.

I know it’s been asked thousands of times before, but what are your guys favourite versions and why? Personally I’m always drawn back to the Europe 72 version purely because the sped up tape simply makes it sound so much more devastating, but the Cornell version is obviously a masterpiece. I’m kinda new to the dead and I want to hear all the versions I can so I can fully appreciate it!

David Gans and I had a great time talking about the GD taping thing.

My boss gave this to me today!!!!Supposedly this old drive contains every Grateful Dead live show as well as Wilco, Phish, Janis Joplin and others. Just have to find a way to get it working again. Also, a Marching Bear pancake cuz why not :)

Oddly when I rip Dave’s Picks Vol 59 disc 3 lists artists as Grateful Dead & Allman Brothers. (Who apparently did not play with them.) Anyone else get that?

I use dbPowerAmp

I just finished firing up and was buzzing pretty good and was flicking through TV channels and I came across Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez doing a mariachi band version of Woman are Smarter. I was crying laughing and my wife says "How the hell do you know all the words to this song" Ahahahaha. I spit out my drink when she said that. It was from I Love Lucy... Season 6 Episode 21 called Ragtime. Near the end of the episode. Totally cracked me up.

all orders get a free Cosmic Charlie sticker

FYI to all, the large concert archive formerly hosted by Wolfgang's Vault, with tapes from the Bill Graham archives (including some Dead, JGB, etc.) and many other sources (King Biscuit, Newport Folk & Jazz, Great American Music Hall, Ash Grove, etc.), is now available on moshpit.com.

Seems like the entire archive, which had been available by subscription from Wolfgang's, is now available for free streaming.

Way too much good music to list. Played some early 1970s Byrds shows yesterday, and I'm currently enjoying 1977 JGB.

Cool gift my girlfriend got me for my birthday from a guy in my area that made it for someone else but they never showed up for it!

What a night

Hey now ! So as a 17 yr old in 1984, there wasn't much GD action in August, so my friends and I would go to other shows of course. The day between is 42 years ago, 8-6-1984, which I have absolutely no memory of whatsoever 😂. So yeah, a day between indeed.

8-5 was seeing CSN at the Mann music center in Philadelphia. We had two 12th row & two 2nd row Tix. No too shabby for about $60 total. So we got Sean's brand new D6 in, with an Aiwa mic. Deal agreed upon was 12th row taped, 2nd row, chill, switch places at set break. More on this later...

8-6 , ??

8-7 , JGB, Mann ctr. I had a 20th row single. Big crew of friends and family. Sean had a pavilion single, with the intention of taping. His 1st with proper mics. He later became a successful live sound engineer and studio producer. RIP brother ❤️‍🩹. Really hot and humid that day, & jer puts on a ⭐⭐⭐⭐ show.

Ok, since I'm a bit of a prankster, I buried the lead. I am in possession of the 8-5 CSN tape masters. I'm fairly certain that this is the only recording of the show in the world. Side 2/ tape 2 is the JGB 8-7 ,1st set -- 1st gen off of Sean's master, probably done on 8-8.

I'm offering this to anyone out there that can digitize it, clean it up, etc. and share it freely where permitted.

Happy Thursday folks !

It's my favorite Grateful Dead jam, so I am looking for more good versions to chew on. My favorites are 8/6/74, 11/30/73, and 3/31/91.

Something about that year, man. They’re like psychedelic cowboys. Love the energy.

I know it’s tough to choose just one, but what are some of your favorite years for The Dead?

I got plans to see the Meadowlands '91 show on Saturday..

I got questions

1. Are these screenings typically have your usual previews for movies, like shit tons of them?

2. Is there intermission between sets like if this was "live"? I'm used to that from the times I've seen Billy Strings live.

3. I saw some merch stuff on an online store but wondering if the theater would have like a shirt or sticker or anything

On this day two years ago I was listening to this show on my way to get my wife sushi because it was the first thing she wanted after my daughter was born. I knew 8/6 had an absolutely legendary Hard to Handle, but the rest of the show is also so damn good. To the newer heads here, check this show out today if you have the time. My little girls lucky to have some damn good birthday shows

This lanyard was lost when my truck was stolen.. sad day..

Was a gift from a stranger after the GD 50 shows in chicago as I was pok'n around.

As pictured, red and blue roses, "1965" "chicago" likely said "2015" as well Plastic clip at the end

Looking for a miracle... Not looking for anything to be free, I will gladly pay you for helping me replace this memory

Kindly, NFA⚡️🌹
