  1. Sweet Fancy Moses, look at those detailed lineage results!
    Here all along I thought Van Morrison collectors where nuts about the file details?
    This one looks to be a Cassette Master from a historic show, excellent choice.
    Thanks Matt!

  2. Oh yes, some deadheads get really fanatical about this sort of thing. Like I said I actually have multiple versions of some of these shows.

    I once got a bootleg from a Dead show that contain like four pages of notes about it detailing the long journey it took to find the complete show. I may still have it somewhere on a hard drive, I’ll post it if I can find it. Crazy stuff. Great tunes.

  3. There are no bad Dead shows. Some were not recorded as well as others. I have about 250. have a nice day JimG

    Jim, apparently you have never listened to the summer of 1995 (the last tour) almost everyone one of those shows are “bad shows” recorded really nice..

    LOL

    250? 1000+ here so I’ll help sweeten up that list for you.

  5. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a Dead show I’d call unlistenable. There’s usually something worth hearing even if its just these incredible songs being played. However there are lots of less than stellar shows and many (especially in the 90s) that I’ll only play once.

    I was just reading an interview with Kreutzman who was talking about how Jerry was really tired of playing with the Dead by 95 but kept doing it due to financial obligations (or possibly an expensive drug habit.) Certainly by then his playing had lost most of its life.

  6. I agree, Jerry’s playing with The Grateful Dead during the last couple years he was around was a pale shadow of what he had been, however I turn to many of his solo shows from that era time and time again and still find some incredible power and spirit in them. particularly when he teamed up with David Grisman and the acoustic sets. Jerry was a very cyclical person, like most of us, and I believe he was certainly coming full circle full speed to his roots of music in those last days.

  7. I love those Garcia Grisman albums, and the run they did together in 92 has some brilliant moments as well.

    It seems to me that by the 90s the Dead were no longer just a band but a huge organization involving a whole lot of people. While I think everyone in the band tried to do their best on the whole, they were also old and rich and had many other things they wanted to do besides play Grateful Dead gigs. It was also a pretty heavy burden to have all those mouths to feed and mortgages to pay etc.

    I figure with Grisman, Garcia could just show up and have a good time, and with the JGB even though it has his name and most people are showing up to see Jerry, he could cut loose a little bit and not have the weight of his entire organization on his shoulders.

    Personally I’m a 70s guy myself but no doubt you can find some tasty licks in every year.

  8. Oh that’s funny. I think I missed the first six songs my first go around and then uploaded them but missed the link in the post. It will take way too long to find the link in rapidshare so I’ll just reupload the whole thing tonight and post it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up.

    This is (was) the only show from 1977 I was missing in lossless, and it is a great one, with the only live version ever of the complete Terrapin with Alhambra. Many thanks!

    I always loved the sound of this show. Super swwet. Great terrapin, and please correct me if Im wrong, but this may be the first Scarlet>Fire jam the dead ever played. Again, I may be wrong on that fact, but Im not wrong on the fact that this show has some super sweet jams. Thanks for posting. The world need to hear jamming like this
