Never Had Such A Good Time/The Grateful Dead Thread

1989 - holy shit.

Brent Mydland, where have you been all my life ?

so love Brent, he'll never get the due he deserved.

26 years gone in 3 days, so hard to believe

It took years for me to accept the fact that I just didn't really like the dead near as much after Brent checked out.

RIP Brent, 26 years gone

Happy birthday Jerry! So begin the Days Between

Brent was good and I respect what he did for the band in the 80s (RIP) but Bruce and Vince were good too. Garcia's decent into his final throws of addiction did them in after 1992 or so. Sad to lose them all (except Bruce but fortunately he was able to leave voluntarily). I appreciate what Bruce did for the band stepping in so quickly after Brent died. Loved his piano playing with the Dead and I am not really that big of a fan otherwise.

Grateful Dead Friday!
Can't get enough of 7/29,30/77 JGB (Pure Jerry). Second that Emotion, Gomorrah, Tore Up Over You, Tangled... all tight, smooth, whatever- still awesome. Ron Tutt is the shit, and a Keith appearance here for this incarnation is money.

Phil has The Last Word in the newest issue of Rolling Stone. It has McCartney on the cover

First track off Bobby's new album. It's not going to be Ace or anything close to top notch Bobby but good for him for writing a new album. I'd say the song's pretty good, all things considered.

The first track to be released from the album was written in collaboration with Josh Ritter.

I actually liked it.

28 years ago today, a momentous moment for sure. Was there and it was a highlight of my GD career. Just watched the video and it gave me serious chills. The whole show smoked, from start to finish, but of course that is mostly forgotten due to Ripple.... which is understandable

Let there be songs to fill the air!!!

And I believe it was a one off. I don't think they ever played another electric ripple.

it was, always heard it was a "Make a Wish" sort of situation. They never played Ripple again, period. And up to that point it hadn't been played at all since Amsterdam 81 on Weir's birthday

They broke out, to lay me down, on that tour also which I saw at MSG.

you talking 88? The bustout of To Lay Me Down was at Hampton 3/27/88, first since Lake Placid 10/17/83 (286 shows). I was at Hampton. That show also was the first GD version of Ballad of a Thin Man (all had been with Dylan before).

FOB audience recordings of all 3 Egypt shows. Not sure if these have ever circulated before now. The person who posted these indicate that there are places where the sound is muffled due to the mics being hidden behind a cotton headpiece. I have not listened to these yet. With me already having boards of these and the official release, I am getting these primarily because I am hoping there is some cool audience atmosphere.

would love to know what's going on in the background

Garcia- has there ever been another rock star that would go on stage wearing sweat pants? I swear on 3/19/95 Philly he came out wearing hotel slippers.
