Dead Show of The Day

[St. Jerry]

holy shit!

just put my request in.

[surrender_monkey]

archinve.org

first,thank you


downloading the stream?

managed to get it with downloadhelper, but had to wait for the stream and do it track-by-track.
several years ago,i downloaded about 25gb from archive before they removed a lot of the soundboards, but then it was just R click the file.

[cdlv]

using a download manager and manually putting in file names is the only way to grab the mp3 sbds off archive that i know of:
so for this show ;

you would fill out this in downthemall or some other download manager
http://www.archive.org/download/gd19...tx-t01_vbr.mp3
ect for each track. not super convenient but it's not too hard to c&p the main filename then just add the track numbers

[surrender_monkey]

thank you cdlv

Nice dude. I thought I was the only DNB fan around these parts. One of these years I'll make it back to those Hawaii gigs. Is anybody else going to the shows in San Rafael next week?

Frost amp is a great venue. Thanks for pulling up that show, rideit. The next night (10/10) is definitely in my top ten of all time. Bobby at his ABSOLUTE vocal best. LLR is one of the best I know of, and Cassidy, Saint/Sailor and Throwing Stones are all really top shelf examples.

The Playin > Crazy Fingers had me laughing out loud a couple weeks ago. It's that good. Were any mags there?

Great thread.

[Crampedon]

From my house in Haiku I can often hear Billy wailing on drums with Sless's guitar work and frequent jam parties at an old pineapple cannery. I think the venue is done though... I could go out on my deck and here the ramble rolling down the gulch.... Maui has become a hideout for some of rocks still-living legends.

[Maximus Gradient]

Not a particularly good show, but this thread could use a bump.

Honestly, the main reason I listen to it is for the Brokedown Palace. Probably my favorite version. But there are a few other good moments.

One of my favs too. I got horizontal on the couch last night and listened to the whole show....hadn't seen this post!

Thanks for starting this thread Rideit.

Very cool.... I know Jesse Collin Young is there, still sounds good, too.

Nice thread.

Just got an "authorization code" from Dead.net to buy the Europe 72 box set. however, I think I'm going to pass. If anyone wants my authorization code, let me know. Fyi, the set is $450 + S&H

[iceman]

Holy shit that's a lot of money.

hate to say it, but i couldn't stand hornsby.

[rideit]

I was out after Brent, more or less. went from 25 or more a year to 5.

I was taping some show in '91 (Albany?) thinking "God, this whole scene sucks, Jerry sounds like SHIT, I'd rather be seeing Primus"

http://www.archive.org/details/gd82-...183.sbeok.shnf

Thanks for that one, I was there. I think I liked 10/10 even better.

[Crampedon]

I was at a show at Englishtown NJ raceway park with the Dead, The New riders and I think Marshall Tucker, 150,000. We hitched there from a Jackson Brown show the night before at Tanglewood in the Bershires.

I think it was about 1977.... Any tapes of this?

I remember a chopper circling and Jerry waving to the crowd. Got right up front.

Was at Colt Park in Hartford I think in '75, still have the ticker stub.

[rideit]

Funny you mention it, it was recently officially released as a Dick's Pick.

Grateful Dead
Dick's Picks 15
September 3, 1977

First Appeared in The Music Box February 2000, Volume 7, #2

Written by John Metzger

Dick Latvala may be gone, but he certainly won’t be forgotten. The famed tape archivist for the Grateful Dead passed away last year and will no doubt be missed, though the series of live releases bearing his name will continue without respite.

As most are quite aware, Latvala was the biggest Deadhead of them all. His favorite performance of a song was always the one he had playing in the background, and his enthusiasm for the Grateful Dead was second to none. He held what was perhaps the most difficult job in Dead-land — maintaining and organizing the band’s massive tape vault and balancing the demands of the group’s members with those of their loyal, but rabidly devoted followers.

Yet, Latvala thrived in this environment, bringing countless amounts of exquisite music to the masses. With nary a misstep over the course of 15 volumes — which spanned a whopping 42 discs — Latvala, in fact, excelled at what he did. The latest edition, which was recorded at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey on September 3, 1977, may not be the strongest set of the series, but as the music is playing, it’s quite easy to see why he so badly wanted to release it.

Performing to a rather large audience — 150,000 people were in attendance — the Grateful Dead kept things noticeably on the mellow side, perhaps to keep the crowd in check. During the first set, the group churned through They Love Each Other, riding guitarist Jerry Garcia’s swooping leads with exalted intensity; Mississippi Half-Step faded into a beautiful jam as Garcia and bassist Phil Lesh intertwined their mellifluous melodies with ravishing results; Keith Godchaux showered Friend of the Devil with a cascading rain of notes that fell like tears; and the band ripped into The Music Never Stopped with an unyielding assault of tidal fury. The second set was equally solid, anchored by the mainstay pairing of Estimated Prophet and Eyes of the World. Garcia’s sinewy solos tickled the synapses of Estimated Prophet’s delectable groove, providing the perfect transition into the effervescent jingle of Eyes of the World. The band capped things off with a phenomenal rendition of Terrapin Station, which had debuted earlier that year.

There you have it — another wonderful release in the Dick’s Picks series. The 15th installment like the rest, should please the Grateful Dead's long-time fans, while, at the same time, it also should serve as an excellent introduction to the magic and power wielded by the legendary ensemble. Few truly have dared to tread the perilous musical terrain so often walked by the group, and far fewer have done it with such sophisticated style and grace. So let’s say one last thank you to Dick Latvala for his attention to detail and for giving this music the attention it always has deserved. starstarstarstar

Rideit, That is so cool, Braddah I was there. I remember Estimated Prophet, Weir singing eyes of the world and FOD. The entry way was rows of chain-link fence side by side. They had semi boxes parked end to end with bikers standing on top for security. I would love to see pics now.

We hitched, left Tanglewood at 11 at night someone told us about it camping at the Stockbridge bowl, a lake, after seeing J. Brown and Aztec 2-step. We rallied. In the morning in rural NY we had our last meal till the next day, a diner breakfast. As we went through the miles of cornfield leading up to the venue in the bed of a pick-up there were signs, "park here, concert 1 mile" and it was MILES away. The dude just kept driving... Once inside we were there early and went right up front. We had acid. There was scaffolding towers with huge stacks of speakers waaay back away from the stage and a trip tent.

Me and my buddy, We were 17 in 77. It was awesome. Hitching home on the jersey turnpike a state trooper dumped my backpack out and snapped the blade off my buck #110 folding hunter between the bumper of his car and left us standing there with our shit out on the highway.

I threw it in the bushes.


P.s.- I found my Colt park ticket '76, $7.50
