July 9, 20232 yr Author Of course tonight is all about 7/8/78. I have an aunt who got married while this show was occurring. I still remember that night like it was yesterday...I wish I had been at Red Rocks for the Wharf Rat!
July 17, 20232 yr Dead and Co the last two nights was pretty sweet on the floor in the city where it All started. Not Fade Away indeed.Hope a couple of you fuckers made it.
July 18, 20232 yr Yeah, longtime Dead fan (first show in 91) and in hindsight my mind is blown how Mayer pinch hit for such an iconic figure. Yeah, not the same with just Bob and Mickey but what a fun reinvented ride.
July 25, 20232 yr Yeah, longtime Dead fan (first show in 91) and in hindsight my mind is blown how Mayer pinch hit for such an iconic figure. Yeah, not the same with just Bob and Mickey but what a fun reinvented ride. I was Skeptical myself and opted out of a second show in Boulder in 2016 for that reason. 20 or shows later all over the country and it just got better and better. This year was fire. Boulder, night 3 in Boston, and the SF shows were amazing.
August 9, 20232 yr ^^^ Great show. Maybe the best show I never saw. Tried but failed. Long story. Couldn’t find tickets but did come away with an excellent, crystal clear vial of liquid LSD. That Looks Like Rain was awesome. Streaming audio doesn’t do justice to Mickey laying down thunder on the Beam. Came here to post this. First, RIP Jerry. Now 28 years later, RIP Robbie.
August 14, 20232 yr Author Tonight is all about 8/13/75. This is one of 4 shows during their "hiatus" year. It's fucking outstanding.

I got to hear Phil sing Broken Arrow at my fist show (6/13/93). Phil sang at all 3 of my shows (Box of Rain and Tom Thumb Blues).
August 16, 20232 yr Author There were some really good shows in 87 while Jerry was rounding into shape. Here is one from 8/15/87. It's strange to see a second set Bertha.
August 19, 20232 yr Author Another Friday night to stay up late, drink some whiskey, smoke some kind bud and listen to the Good Ol' Grateful Dead.
September 4, 20232 yr Author On my way to start up some 9/3/77 from Englishtown, New Jersey, YouTube thought I might enjoy "Eyes of the World" from 2/9/73...YouTube was right. I love those 73-74 Eyes! And here is a very legendary show for tonight!
September 16, 20232 yr Author Where did all of the Deadheads go?? Tonight is a show from a somewhat underappreciated year...1985.
September 16, 20232 yr Author I don't listen to "drums" very often, but they just went straight into from "Around and Around". It's been fucking magical! Maybe it's because I've traveled this week for work and haven't gotten high in several days? I don't know what it is, but this one spoke to me.
September 17, 20232 yr Author 1988 reminds me so much of 1976. You can tell they are really getting it together, but aren't quite there. The Dear Mr Fantasy>Hey Jude>Sugar Magnolia from the 88 show I posted above is good, but you can hear just how much better they were in July of 89. They play the same sequence at the end of the 7/2/89 show and it's so much better. https://archive.org/details/gd89-07-02.nak.8243.sbefail.shnf
October 2, 20232 yr Not Grateful Dead but in the same vein of music From this past summer at Red Rocks Impressed with how they sound recently and Jimmy Herring is a wizard. Hope to see them soon Edited October 2, 20232 yr by PDX_Horn

November 1, 20232 yr Author I didn’t get around to posting one of my favorite shows the other night. Ordinarily I would have had several bourbons and one hits over the weekend and listened to this show. It’s a fantastic show and I know I’ve posted it before, but I don’t care. Give it a listen when you get a chance.
November 4, 20232 yr Author Well, tonight is the first night in a while I've felt good enough to have some drinks and listen to the good ole' Grateful Dead. I'm working my way through the PNW box-set at the moment. I've been on a China Cat>I know You Rider kick lately and there is a great one here.
November 17, 20232 yr Continuing the theme- 11/1/85 https://archive.org/details/gd85-11-01.oade.connor.9217.sbeok.shnf
November 24, 20232 yr Not sure if I buy it but kinda love the complete reversal I saw from many of my stubborn deadhead compatriots
November 27, 20232 yr On 11/24/2023 at 8:57 AM, Hate said: About what? Sorry, those two posts were meant to follow one another. People I knew were Mayer haters early on and then were sporting the "Mayer’s Dead to Me" shirts by the end of his tenure.
December 9, 20232 yr Author Holy fuck!!! This show is going into the mix! It has a fantastic set list and each song is played fantastically!
December 10, 20232 yr Author Tonight is 12/9/89 from the Great Western Forum in LA. This show has the "Bird Song" from the "Without a Net" album. It's fantastic. You can listen to this version a 1000 times, and I have, and hear something new.
December 13, 20232 yr Holiday Skull & Roses for Hate. Saw it on way to work this morning. Happy you’re doing better. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2024. The rest of you? Steal your Face, bitches!!!!!!!!
December 16, 20232 yr Author That's awesome YGIFS, which I imagine is pronounced "YJIFS". Tonight is all about one hits, bourbon, and the Good ol' Grateful Dead. They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones that do what they do. - Bill Graham
December 16, 20232 yr I gotta weird look from the folks inside the house as I parked in their driveway off a very busy Enfield Road to snap those pics. But I screamed, "It's okay, I'm Surly and I saw 23 Dead shows." So pretty sure I'm gonna end up a Nextdoor karen feed by tomorrow. Hot as a pistol, but cool inside.
December 16, 20232 yr Author Holy Crap...I was just listening to the He's Gone form the show linked above!
December 23, 20232 yr Author I'm starting out the long weekend with the Good ole Grateful Dead! The only show from this date is a show from Dallas in '78 with terrible sound. So I'm just bouncing around from show to show at the moment. I've been on a Black Throated Wind Kick lately for who knows what reason. The one I posted just last week was a pretty good one. I may check out a few others too. I've also been on a little Lost Sailor/Saint of Circumstance kick too. I may look for some of those. Any good ones y'all recommend?
