Garcia crushed all the Chuck Berry material. On 12/31/78 Closing of Winterland Johnny B Goode Garcia looks like the Devil. Literally a man possessed 5 hours into the show!

...Alas, there are a lot of eye-catchers from that show: did Jerry's beard have pieces of confetti still in it from the New Year's countdown?, Bobby's eye-glasses, Donna's ornate bathrobe, lack of Keith shots once again, the flying joint from the countdown...Gaetzi wrote:Garcia crushed all the Chuck Berry material.

This had to be one heck of a show to see. Way to go Mr. Graham!

Re: Never Had Such A Good Time/The Grateful Dead Thread
26th anniversary of my wife's first show, and what a tremendous show it was. Easter Sunday and then the next day was April Fool's Day, in which she got a Dark Star at her 2nd show (took me over 100 shows to bag my first Dark Star). It seemed obvious that Jerry was about to start Dark Star on the 31st but for whatever reason Weir shut it down The Eyes from the 31st is truly spectacular!
here are the entire shows for both nights, should anyone want to invest the time, it's well worth it
this run was Sunday and Monday, with Monday being the NCAA championship game. It presented the only (so far) chance for UNC to play dook for the title, but alas UNC lost in the semi-finals. Had it worked out that the Heels had played dook on that Monday, I would have been a wreck at the Dead show

Another classic GD April Fool's prank
April Fool's Promised Land: Bobby on keyboards, Brent & Jerry on drums, Billy on bass, Mickey on rhythm guitar and vocals, and Phil on lead guitar

I was there.....lost my marbles the first night, came back for more the second night ...I had heard Kesey & Co were there too.

Dave's Picks Volume 22
this release probably buries my longtime wish for an official release of December 5, 1971- an epic, epic show, FM recordings have circulated forever- but nonetheless this should be sweet!!!

Re: Never Had Such A Good Time/The Grateful Dead Thread
I caught Bob Weir in Austin this weekend. Great show. In fact, the mayor gave him the key to the city. Sadly, I never caught the Dead live (I know...), but enjoyed Bobby's show. Super mellow and he is playing with a number of musicians from The National. Some spectacular players. Eyes of the World and Loose Lucy were some standout Dead covers.
Love each other, Motherfuckers!

Re: Never Had Such A Good Time/The Grateful Dead Thread
Glad yall vouch for this one! I've been grumbling about yet another 70s-centric year of Dave's Picks releases, but I'm unfamiliar with this show (71 is typically not one of my "years") and it sounds like one I may enjoy..Jonicont wrote:Waited on line outside the Felt Forum box office at 5:30 in the morning.

Yeah, I bought the full box set. Not the "all music edition". I went all out and got the big one.jimmyjack wrote:Anyone else plunk down for this? http://www.dead.net/store/1970s/may-197 ... d=39928196

They just emailed out the un-boxing video. It looks pretty sweet and I cannot wait to get mine.
