<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, 1972. The Paramount Theater (Northwest) in Seattle, Washington.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A couple of years ago, I walked a lot for exercise during July and early August and had quite a few shows from 1972 to keep me company. This is a very good show...damn, they were still just getting started, you know?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, 1974. The Hollywood Bowl.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">An audience recording showcasing the power of the Wall of Sound, and the power of the '74 sound. Excellent stuff.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd74-07-21.fob-patched.miller.31436.sbeok.flacf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, 1984. The Ventura County Fairgrounds.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Very strong show, and an attendee's account claims that the crowd got into the Olympic spirit (the Games of the XXIII Olympiad were in Los Angeles) by holding up cards to "score" tunes as they were played. I'll bet the boys were amused.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, 1990. The World Music Theater in Tinley Park, Illinois.</span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">Not my ticket.</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A tremendous show. One of Brent's last. It's well worth a listen.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1990-07-21.sbd.walker-scotton.miller.95809.sbeok.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">My summer session course ended yesterday, so I just want to thank those folks for tagging along, and anyone else out there who may see this and (I hope) dig it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have enjoyed sharing some thoughts and impressions and, most importantly, MUSIC. It's a significant part of my life and continues to speak to me with messages both silly and profound...old and new...sacred and profane...living and dead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope you have enjoyed the summer so far and will take advantage of what is left in whatever ways you see as good and kind and FUN.</span><br />

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">• I did use quite a few photos this summer, eh? Fair Use, though. If you'd like to see more about all of the venues that the Dead played, visit <a href="http://jerrygarciasbrokendownpalaces.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">this blog</a>. Simply amazing.</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">• As far as the music goes, as you saw, it's all from the <a href="https://archive.org/" target="_blank">Internet Archive</a>. It's (arguably) the best site I know.</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">• Finally, I imagine this will be my last post on this blog. While it has ostensibly served as a way to be in touch with students, it serves more as a venting place for me, dealing with depression and the like. I am bummed about a great many things, and I guess I feel safe enough to communicate (haltingly and partially) about them (if not to them) here.</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
</pre>
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">But that's done, at least on this outlet. I don't know what I will do with it. Simply abandon it, migrate it...we'll see. But this latest venture has been my absolute pleasure, so I guess I will let this stay for now.</pre>

In fact, there is only one show to choose, as they never played on this date in any other year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1994, at Deer Creek. It's a decent show, and apparently some rank it quite highly for the year. Of course, for some, that's barely saying anything, since by this point things were almost done.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vbRPNLMrb_k/WXDJBA0n78I/AAAAAAAACTc/RK0Wh8Us8ZA40JAXnTrzpFZci_AWucFuwCLcBGAs/s1600/Captured.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="83" data-original-width="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vbRPNLMrb_k/WXDJBA0n78I/AAAAAAAACTc/RK0Wh8Us8ZA40JAXnTrzpFZci_AWucFuwCLcBGAs/s1600/Captured.JPG" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I won't go that far, and I leave it up to you to see if you can dig it.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jroQDo9tfbI/WXDI8LLF23I/AAAAAAAACTY/xzgXC1x3IGIfhKiszIjqolaGyl4y43y_gCEwYBhgL/s1600/19910215_2320.original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="676" data-original-width="824" height="262" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jroQDo9tfbI/WXDI8LLF23I/AAAAAAAACTY/xzgXC1x3IGIfhKiszIjqolaGyl4y43y_gCEwYBhgL/s320/19910215_2320.original.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is Vince Welnick. He replaced Brent Mydland in the fall of 1990, after Brent's passing at the end of summer (Bruce Hornsby also sat in from time to time during Vince's early days with the group, but it never became permanent). He used to be part of The Tubes, responsible for the hit single (and music video) "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ_k_VG6Syc" target="_blank">She's a Beauty</a>."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">With the Dead, he had a rough tenure - I've mentioned that Brent had a hard time fitting in, and I have read that the same was true for Vince. I can't imagine how hard that sort of role would be to fill. Also, even though I am not a huge fan of the tunes he brought to the group (including "Samba in the Rain," performed in the second set of this show), I have a soft spot for Vince. I wish he was still with us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Garcia's passing hit him very hard. He was not able to escape his demons, and apparently tried to commit suicide in late 1995. He recovered enough to keep going, still pursued by depression, and in a 2003 interview he was quoted as follows:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0V9ZnPPOR48/WXDLv6kZLSI/AAAAAAAACTk/LT9SrJxuO3cY-bg9STxZ_LqSfybXZ4e1wCLcBGAs/s1600/Captures.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="75" data-original-width="382" height="62" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0V9ZnPPOR48/WXDLv6kZLSI/AAAAAAAACTk/LT9SrJxuO3cY-bg9STxZ_LqSfybXZ4e1wCLcBGAs/s320/Captures.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 2006, he killed himself. Rest in peace, Vince.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be good to yourself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today we begin with night three at Alpine Valley.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Very tasty stuff once again, and some of it (highlights from the three-night run) made it to an "official" 1997 DVD release called "Downhill from Here." I always considered that title an accurate, if not amusing, bit of wordplay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is, again, a superb show.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then we return to 1974, and make another stop in Fresno, at Selland Arena.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, a show from 1972 again, this time at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, New Jersey.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zr9qMpbXaj0/WW4ld8O-wgI/AAAAAAAACSM/ivgkpR8mMUMx8RJXRucyJKffgurJ3nrKACLcBGAs/s1600/70s-Concert-With-scoreboard-clock-1024x659.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="1024" height="205" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zr9qMpbXaj0/WW4ld8O-wgI/AAAAAAAACSM/ivgkpR8mMUMx8RJXRucyJKffgurJ3nrKACLcBGAs/s320/70s-Concert-With-scoreboard-clock-1024x659.jpeg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This stadium isn't there anymore...it was demolished in 1985. This is a fine show, a long show...in 1972, they were hitting a stride that stretched clear into 1974, right up to the "retirement." Fabulous stuff.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1972-07-18.sbd.theotherwayne.88658.sbefail.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, back to 1989, the second night at Alpine Valley. A super show, with some very high energy - especially as the second set got rolling.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1989-07-18.138479.sbd.miller.flac24" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, back to 1976...the final night at the Orpheum.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UXKe6JSIO7Q/WW4lZI9N-BI/AAAAAAAACSI/J9XFP1qNv6MObiQXPejlN7HyLmk3ZTrxACLcBGAs/s1600/19760601_1786.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="715" data-original-width="924" height="247" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UXKe6JSIO7Q/WW4lZI9N-BI/AAAAAAAACSI/J9XFP1qNv6MObiQXPejlN7HyLmk3ZTrxACLcBGAs/s320/19760601_1786.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">No, I don't really know if each of the nights is "worth" posting...but I did it anyway. I love 'em that much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope you've enjoyed them, too.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, back to 1976, night five at the Orpheum.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1976-07-17.sbd.fricker-fix.tetzeli.34708.sbefail.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then we move ahead to 1988 at the Greek Theater, which was a benefit show for the <a href="http://www.rexfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Rex Foundation</a>. The group had participated in several charitable benefit concerts through the years, but in 1983 they formed the Foundation to (slightly) better organize the process of giving and make sure the money actually went to those who could use it...which, sadly, does not always happen when you give.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's a great show. A highlight for many folks is the moving rendition of "Believe It Or Not," an excellent song played only sparingly </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">(like a handful of others)</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">, for reasons no one may ever know.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1988-07-17.sbd.miller.87752.sbeok.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, let's move to 1989 for a stop at the Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dkNkeFoNZ8I/WWzzZyVSJ-I/AAAAAAAACSA/pA7LFHzHCH40BAM9GhAjWuCOTYIG7AsegCLcBGAs/s1600/EP-140829778.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="503" data-original-width="1000" height="160" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dkNkeFoNZ8I/WWzzZyVSJ-I/AAAAAAAACSA/pA7LFHzHCH40BAM9GhAjWuCOTYIG7AsegCLcBGAs/s320/EP-140829778.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Although it was relatively close to my hometown, I never attended a show there - which just confirms that I am an idiot. The Dead (and many other groups) apparently enjoyed it, and the 20 (or so) shows they played there over the years are quite good.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year, for the first time in 40 years, there are no concerts happening at Alpine Valley for the summer concert season. Apparently it is having a hard time attracting artists. Perhaps I've missed my chances to ever get there for <i>any</i> show. Oh well...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a great one. Enjoy your day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We'll start in 1976, with the fourth night <i>(they took the night off on the 15th)</i> at the Orpheum Theater.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-205ZMV3LrGM/WWuP8WozrLI/AAAAAAAACRI/ttA5JBkShEUtAay0dbLi_MLZjBJO8c21wCLcBGAs/s1600/pentages-orpheum.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="766" data-original-width="1024" height="239" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-205ZMV3LrGM/WWuP8WozrLI/AAAAAAAACRI/ttA5JBkShEUtAay0dbLi_MLZjBJO8c21wCLcBGAs/s320/pentages-orpheum.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Two streams for this one. The first is the "soundboard" recording, which apparently only exists for the second set of tunes.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1976-07-16.set-2.sbd.bertha-ashley.27488.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now, here is the complete show, apparently taped by a couple of attendees, from a lovely position: the front of the balcony <i>(as in the photograph above)</i>.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1976-07-16.fob.sonyECM180.menke.ashley-bertha.8666.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Plenty of folks <i>(myself included)</i> aren't too fond of the audience tapes, and rarely listen to them...unless there's no other source, of course.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are those who listen to nothing but the audience tapes as well, since it gives more of the feeling of actually being there...less detached and sterile, or something like that. See what you think!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, we move to 1972 and Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7GNPLfh7tDI/WWuRNY6URVI/AAAAAAAACRQ/OHnr7WTnzFMbgaoVOgA0OehcyJdzLj9EACLcBGAs/s1600/he-ed-dillon-stadium-dustups-20150205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7GNPLfh7tDI/WWuRNY6URVI/AAAAAAAACRQ/OHnr7WTnzFMbgaoVOgA0OehcyJdzLj9EACLcBGAs/s320/he-ed-dillon-stadium-dustups-20150205.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This show is a combination of sources, patched together to form the complete show. 1972 was a year of amazing shows...but again, not to everyone's liking. For many, compared to what the scene had been in the mid 1960s, this was a completely different band - and not one they found as likable. Of course, with all the shit that had gone down in the seven years they'd been together, things were bound to be different. Some band members were even reaching <i>(gasp)</i> 30 years of age...crazy how that alters things. If you're not there yet, believe me...it's waiting.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd72-07-16.sbd-aud.cotsman.11258.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Finally, back to 1966 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qrllq7YmU1w/WWuSmjsT8DI/AAAAAAAACRg/RRIGvCl0wpkxxv4t-APmd4ZG-kJPgsB_QCLcBGAs/s1600/fillmore-auditorium.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="750" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qrllq7YmU1w/WWuSmjsT8DI/AAAAAAAACRg/RRIGvCl0wpkxxv4t-APmd4ZG-kJPgsB_QCLcBGAs/s320/fillmore-auditorium.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Maybe it's two shows, maybe it's out of order...I have no idea. It's just a lot of fun to hear how things were in those early days. Plenty of people, plenty of acid, plenty of volume. <i>Community...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Enjoy your Sunday.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KQb-THCuhEs/WWo9Fn6lsBI/AAAAAAAACQo/k8-h27Naq-AMSfEKEQXvbRFDgfTJfYHjACLcBGAs/s1600/klipsch-music-center-lawn-view.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="550" height="174" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KQb-THCuhEs/WWo9Fn6lsBI/AAAAAAAACQo/k8-h27Naq-AMSfEKEQXvbRFDgfTJfYHjACLcBGAs/s320/klipsch-music-center-lawn-view.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a nice show. The two songs played to open the second set are "Foolish Heart" and "Victim or the Crime," which were fairly new at the time...they made an odd pairing. I like them both, although I am more fond of "Foolish Heart."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Victim" was not at all popular, from many accounts I have read. Not hard to hear why. It's a difficult song, with lyrics that challenge. A story (disputed through the years) goes that the lyricist (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0334057/" target="_blank">Gerrit Graham</a>) was asked to change the word "junkie" since it touched a little too close to home for some in the family...interesting stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I also think of that song in reference to perhaps the main reason Deer Creek became infamous, the "riot" of 2 July 1995. Folks stormed the fences and broke into the show, injuring many and drawing the attention of the band. They canceled the next night's show, and at the next tour stop (St. Louis) a letter was distributed containing the following text:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Darkness Got To Give</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dear Dead Heads:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the way it looks to us from the stage:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your justly-renowned tolerance and compassion have set you up to be used. At Deer Creek, we watched many of you cheer on and help a thousand fools kick down the fence and break into the show. We can't play music and watch plywood flying around endangering people. The security and police whom those people endangered represent us, work for us -- think of them as us. You can't expect mellow security if you're throwing things at them. The saboteurs who did this can only do it if all Dead Heads allow them to. Your reputation is at stake.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Don't you get it?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the past thirty years we've come up with the fewest possible rules to make the difficult act of bringing tons of people together work well -- and a few thousand so-called Dead Heads ignore those simple rules and screw it up for you, us and everybody. We've never before had to cancel a show because of you. Think about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you don't have a ticket, don't come. This is real. This is first a music concert, not a free-for-all party. Secondly, don't vend. Vending attracts people without tickets. Many of the people without tickets have no responsibility or obligation to our scene. They don't give a shit. They act like idiots. They think it's just a party to get as trashed as possible at. We're all supposed to be about higher consciousness, not drunken stupidity.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's up to you as Dead Heads to educate these people, and to pressure them into acting like Dead Heads instead of maniacs. They can only get away with this crap if you let them. The old slogan is true: If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Want to end the touring life of the Grateful Dead? Allow bottle-throwing gate crashers to keep on thinking they're cool anarchists instead of the creeps they are.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Want to continue it? Listen to the rules, and pressure others to do so. A few more scenes like Sunday night, and we'll quite simply be unable to play. The spirit of the Grateful Dead is at stake, and we'll do what we have to do to protect it. And when you hear somebody say "Fuck you, we'll do what we want," remember something.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That applies to us, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Phil, Jerry, Bobby, Mickey, Billy and Vince</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nJQlWFlpboI/WWpBU2EigGI/AAAAAAAACQw/U85PyU_XmNMlvVl409W0uTMTAXT4s0jnQCLcBGAs/s1600/-10GRATEFUL1990.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="356" data-original-width="474" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nJQlWFlpboI/WWpBU2EigGI/AAAAAAAACQw/U85PyU_XmNMlvVl409W0uTMTAXT4s0jnQCLcBGAs/s320/-10GRATEFUL1990.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I mentioned in a previous post, within a week the final concert had been played, and just over a month later Jerry was gone. It was a surreal way for it all to come crashing down, and "Victim," for me at least, still conjures quite a bit of that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Anyway. Take a listen. Have a good day.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, night three at the Orpheum in 1976.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd76-07-14.sbd.vernon.18594.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then, night two at the Greek in 1984.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1984-07-14.sbd.walker-scotton.miller.96120.sbeok.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For the last, we jump to 1990 and return to newly-renamed Foxboro Stadium (formerly Schaefer Stadium, then Sullivan Stadium), home of the New England Patriots.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTzqzC6cXYo/WWjjo2ELa7I/AAAAAAAACQM/AWCZ8j3BB9UHZmdKgiSSe0HBXBUDKot_gCLcBGAs/s1600/hqdefault%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VTzqzC6cXYo/WWjjo2ELa7I/AAAAAAAACQM/AWCZ8j3BB9UHZmdKgiSSe0HBXBUDKot_gCLcBGAs/s320/hqdefault%2B%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-small;">SHORTS!</span></i></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They sure have been a great team for a while now. I was born and raised a Packer fan, so...yeah. Fuck 'em.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yet this is a great show, and it's always worthwhile to think about the label of "patriot." What does it mean to you? Again, the whole "freedom" thing, you know?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Also, I read a comment from a 1990 show the other day in which the author claimed the Dead were subtly trying to shake some of the expanded scene which had landed on shows on the late eighties by making a summer tour full of "one-offs" - not staying anywhere long enough to attract the huge crowd of hangers-on, the fringe that in some people's view sank the ship. Interesting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, still in 1976, the second night at the Orpheum. So good.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd76-07-13.sbd.ashley-bertha.9978.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then we advance to 1984, at the Greek Theater in Berkeley.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sw0kEyvA17U/WWemiNmWAVI/AAAAAAAACPs/2AD4m8-u1A8-YWLMo9mPoMlfkrXFEKOWwCLcBGAs/s1600/download%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="168" data-original-width="300" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sw0kEyvA17U/WWemiNmWAVI/AAAAAAAACPs/2AD4m8-u1A8-YWLMo9mPoMlfkrXFEKOWwCLcBGAs/s1600/download%2B%25281%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's a well-known and popular venue. I am not a huge fan, but who cares? This is an excellent show.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1984-07-13.sbd.walker-scotton.miller.96153.sbeok.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, to the Ventura County Fairgrounds in 1985.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ4ensNMwv8/WWemqNrf-zI/AAAAAAAACPw/6cMaCqhSf7gnWvXNHr8ZQyG98IFEwbZ7wCLcBGAs/s1600/hqdefault%2B%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="360" data-original-width="480" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HQ4ensNMwv8/WWemqNrf-zI/AAAAAAAACPw/6cMaCqhSf7gnWvXNHr8ZQyG98IFEwbZ7wCLcBGAs/s320/hqdefault%2B%25281%2529.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The stage, as I recall, sat in the middle of the track that is used for races, that sort of thing. Big dusty space. Maybe that wasn't always the case? Anyway, the one time I saw a show there, it was a lot of fun, but it was kinda dirty too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a great show, I think. 1985 was a pretty special year.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_moS-RQQ80M/WWZTL0HxBCI/AAAAAAAACPQ/18tkTcPPcVoMGrPTgRI1xQZXGdAMHnFyQCLcBGAs/s1600/00152_venue_portrait_large-horz.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="833" height="153" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-_moS-RQQ80M/WWZTL0HxBCI/AAAAAAAACPQ/18tkTcPPcVoMGrPTgRI1xQZXGdAMHnFyQCLcBGAs/s320/00152_venue_portrait_large-horz.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It had been a little over a month since the Dead had resumed touring, and they were making stops in smaller theaters and playing with a far different <i>(and smaller!)</i> amplification system. This meant the dynamics of the shows had changed considerably since 1974's "Wall of Sound" stadium events, and I am sure that some folks were unhappy about getting "squeezed out" of the experience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The music, though...wow. I just love it. I don't care how slow people think it is. The new songs (from 1975's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE_hm9qKRyc" target="_blank"><i>Blues for Allah</i></a>) are superb, the jamming is often intense (if perhaps less frequently venturing into "spacy" territory) and the whole thing is just so...mellow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's often the most calming thing I can find. Cue it up, spark it up, and drift away...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A very intriguing show. Some new tunes starting to show up in the sets, and a clear turn toward including a different sort of sound than solely "acid rock" or whatever you wish to call it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The following year would see the release of <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJhIG8wc3Ok" target="_blank">Workingman's Dead</a></i> and <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-voC5IrYeAA" target="_blank">American Beauty</a></i>, the best of the Dead's studio efforts <i>(don't even bother debating it)</i>, showcasing the band's new direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you have never listened to either, well...jeez. Ya should!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tMsYyET4FW0/WWOpd5Gyn3I/AAAAAAAACOE/A3YkMV3pNx04DqOlkahWA4tkbjc9esCyQCLcBGAs/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="328" height="150" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tMsYyET4FW0/WWOpd5Gyn3I/AAAAAAAACOE/A3YkMV3pNx04DqOlkahWA4tkbjc9esCyQCLcBGAs/s320/download.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thunderstorms <i>(with timely and untimely lightning)</i>, too many people, too many police <i>(both apparent and undercover)</i>...yeah, from what I understand the scene was getting weird.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maybe that's the wrong way to put it: <i>things might not have been weird enough!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The popularity of the band had reached new levels by this point. For many longtime fans, the changes in the scene (and, arguably, the music itself) proved just too much - they stopped going. But plenty of others were there to take their places, for better or for worse.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Change is tough. But it's always with us. How do we deal with it? Do we roll with the changes, or get left behind?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Good luck in your journey.</span><br />

<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fsrGsRkU-T0/WWLY3pcBA8I/AAAAAAAACNk/iP_b5yxXWwEf9RMKi3MlXRx9riMCF3CWwCLcBGAs/s1600/jerry-garcia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="201" data-original-width="251" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fsrGsRkU-T0/WWLY3pcBA8I/AAAAAAAACNk/iP_b5yxXWwEf9RMKi3MlXRx9riMCF3CWwCLcBGAs/s1600/jerry-garcia.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One month after this concert, Jerry Garcia died.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's nice that these shows (yesterday and today) are so nicely presented...seems like they have very good levels and whatnot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can't listen to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's just too hard, for all sorts of reasons. I tried to think of a way to explain some of it in a relatively coherent and brief fashion...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">...I failed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I miss you, big man.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'll have more to say about that weekend tomorrow. I need some time to choose the words more carefully. But this isn't a terrible show, as it turns out. Some very nice moments.</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1995-07-08.sbd.miller.114363.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yet the show of the day has to be 1978, without question.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LsB8LUBL7Wc/WWEBb7fVabI/AAAAAAAACNE/hXxGRHPhaSscinWae2QVCH-FRrhfur8xwCLcBGAs/s1600/redrocks3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LsB8LUBL7Wc/WWEBb7fVabI/AAAAAAAACNE/hXxGRHPhaSscinWae2QVCH-FRrhfur8xwCLcBGAs/s320/redrocks3.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Red Rocks is a powerful place, I don't think there's any other way to put it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Plenty of folks have theories on why certain places just...<i>feel</i>...different. I don't know much about the <i>why,</i> but I am definitely not arguing with the <i>what.</i> I've been places that feel powerful, and other places that feel empty. There are times it seems to correlate to feelings I have inside, and there are other times it does not. It just...<i>is.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This show resonates with me every time, yet often in different ways I have not felt before. A cool note here, a drum fill there, Jerry "shooshing" the crowd during "Wharf Rat"...it's one of the best. Might be my strongest recommendation of the summer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1978-07-08.sbd.miller.106070.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<i><br /></i>
There are plenty of things in this world (and beyond) that we haven't found any way to explain yet. Some things, I hope, will remain a mystery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes it's enough to enjoy, to appreciate, to <i>live...</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">...no need to know <i>why...</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A "natural" amphitheatre near Denver, this venue was apparently used as early as 1906 for performances (and one would guess it had been used before by others, before the "modern" era), but the CCC and WPA helped to get the current setting done by 1941.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've not been to it, and I need to rectify that. I have heard plenty of stories from folks who have, and I have been jealous...especially in light of shows like the two I feature from 1978, starting today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They are justifiably famous recordings (tomorrow is a good bit more well-known than today, but I love 'em both) and I hope you will enjoy them. I always do...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is Brent Mydland. He was a hell of a musician, and he was a great singer and decent songwriter as well. He died of an overdose on 26 July, only twenty days after this show.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I remember it, and in the years since I've read various accounts of his life, his struggles to "fit in" with the already-established band and the scene, and his ultimate failure to escape the trap of self-medication and escapism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I get it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Makes me very sad when anyone loses that battle, and I still grieve for many we've lost that way through the years...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...I'm going to stop here. Kinda heavy stuff, and I am not in a good space to say more!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take care.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XOl-4-_TAsc/WVvWH5bLX5I/AAAAAAAACK0/4yZa2H1u1yYZ013YMOO_KCYFxNel20UVwCLcBGAs/s1600/when_is_American-Independence-Day_in_2017.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XOl-4-_TAsc/WVvWH5bLX5I/AAAAAAAACK0/4yZa2H1u1yYZ013YMOO_KCYFxNel20UVwCLcBGAs/s320/when_is_American-Independence-Day_in_2017.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What does freedom mean to you? What <i>can't</i> you do? How would you defend what you can?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Many things to ponder, but also a day for celebration. My advice is to try to keep it "safe and sane," especially if you're blowing shit up. If your city does it, go see the pros.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ANYWAY...</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">...highlighting a few things on the Dead front today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First, checking back in with 1969, at the Electric Theater in Chicago.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I wish the sound kept its levels throughout, because there are some interesting early songs here...ah well. The sequence that ends with "Casey Jones" is definitely worth hearing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Next, 1981 at Manor Downs.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of the many venues they used to play that have closed, this one was the site of some really good music...and this show completely lives up to that standard!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How about 1984, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You might say that some of what was happening in 1984 "ripened" in 1985...nah, nobody would say that. Anyway, great show.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1987? Foxborough? <i>(Foxboro?!? )</i> Massachusetts? How appropriate to play in a place so close to the cradle of what we call liberty today.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O_R1xMtfsd0/WVvWshdfObI/AAAAAAAACLE/chz2uUN26W4dkZNu_x6ehpB--al-K-idwCLcBGAs/s1600/49060008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="398" data-original-width="600" height="212" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O_R1xMtfsd0/WVvWshdfObI/AAAAAAAACLE/chz2uUN26W4dkZNu_x6ehpB--al-K-idwCLcBGAs/s320/49060008.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's not a bad show, either...and it features the Dead as a backing band for recent Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDk2_fz6jyQ/WVvWy78ZarI/AAAAAAAACLI/cLN3x3WX4dUZK0iZybzCF_L-xl5AudAvgCLcBGAs/s1600/columbia-630x420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="420" data-original-width="630" height="213" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mDk2_fz6jyQ/WVvWy78ZarI/AAAAAAAACLI/cLN3x3WX4dUZK0iZybzCF_L-xl5AudAvgCLcBGAs/s320/columbia-630x420.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The entire second set is Bob, and if you don't like Bob...well, skip that, then. But this was an historic collaboration and I think it holds up okay. <i>In the Dark</i> was released on 6 July and it's nice to see the group holding the form of those efforts in concert, whether lead or backup.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWcbChcjtFk/WVksQJS0yEI/AAAAAAAACJ4/1JSYawzpX8cJBt4m9Znv0e6_5IpMa7NGQCLcBGAs/s1600/tumblr_mg4ix6c9mO1rr5swxo1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="710" data-original-width="1080" height="210" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YWcbChcjtFk/WVksQJS0yEI/AAAAAAAACJ4/1JSYawzpX8cJBt4m9Znv0e6_5IpMa7NGQCLcBGAs/s320/tumblr_mg4ix6c9mO1rr5swxo1_1280.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A couple of things about this.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes a good run of shows isn't all in one venue, of course, and this is a good example of that. The good energy of the previous nights at MPP came along, although one might say it lasted the whole summer...did I mention that this was the "unofficial/official" 20-year celebration tour? 😉 Anyway, it's really a nice show.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Sometimes the taping process is...mysterious. There are people who taped the shows, and then there are recordings that got patched into the mixing board - the "soundboard" copies - and nowadays there are even folks who spend their time mixing the two, to give a "matrix" experience of the concert.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm going to offer the soundboard copy first...</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd85-07-02.sbd.bubba420.18249.sbeok.shnf" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then the matrix here...</span><br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="140" mozallowfullscreen="true" src="https://archive.org/embed/gd1985-07-02.133612.mtx.tobin.flac16" webkitallowfullscreen="true" width="500"></iframe>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The soundboard copy is tracked incorrectly, as the encores are in the middle of the sets. Whatever. Enjoy it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then we settle even further back in time...1971, at the Fillmore West in San Francisco.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thbBW38dt_k/WVksdbhCtfI/AAAAAAAACJ8/CSJ3O9Rmd8YEtSO69mGh6nGw9NZxpnwDQCLcBGAs/s1600/images_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="421" height="230" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-thbBW38dt_k/WVksdbhCtfI/AAAAAAAACJ8/CSJ3O9Rmd8YEtSO69mGh6nGw9NZxpnwDQCLcBGAs/s320/images_thumb.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This year we celebrate 50 years since the "Summer of Love." By 1971, events had seemingly soured the scene in the city, and many artists moved to the surrounding communities for a breath of fresh air and less stress. This may have played in part in why some of the arenas which had hosted the music of the later 60's began to close, most notably the Fillmore East (in New York City) at the end of April and this venue, on this night!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's a great show. Yes, they are not exactly in tune for much of the night. Yes, the performances are a little more than ragged. It was a big acid blow-out, and it sounds like it. But it's great. I remember staying up to record it on the radio when I was in college, and as it crackled through my system I shared some of the trip...hope you will as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's such a great, mellow-sounding show...fifteen years had taken a toll, to be sure, but they were definitely celebrating, and rightly so!</span></div>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">It's cool to see the way songs were sometimes linked differently; for example, in these two shows we see "Playin' in the Band" and "Uncle John's Band" in that way.</pre>

<i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And vanished years</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's hard to choose a single show on certain days, as I have said on at least one occasion, I think. Today I have three for you...continuing certain patterns, and an outlier.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1974, the group made it to Springfield, MA and played at the Civic Center.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ezYU4iKDZCY/WVaOgngjUiI/AAAAAAAACIw/kDfjJgyPdq4rNUHuMG9bm8uwd-hgCnNuQCLcBGAs/s1600/old%2Bcivic%2Bcenter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="261" data-original-width="400" height="208" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ezYU4iKDZCY/WVaOgngjUiI/AAAAAAAACIw/kDfjJgyPdq4rNUHuMG9bm8uwd-hgCnNuQCLcBGAs/s320/old%2Bcivic%2Bcenter.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Did I mention "Seastones" yet? Well, that was the name for the mini-set of...ummm...noises...during the break between the Dead's sets. Phil Lesh and Ned Lagin would take a few minutes to go off on what I guess you could call a precursor to today's electronic musics. Wild, and on occasion somewhat jarring. Great show, though.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1985, the band had landed in Columbia, MD at the Merriweather Post Pavilion for a two-night run which would stand up as a true summer highlight. This, the first night, is just sublime.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The last one for today comes just two years later, at Kingswood Music Theatre in Maple, Ontario, Canada.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nrzfTn4g1uI/WVaOp3AZYII/AAAAAAAACI4/Ft1BbQEbTMEf8pGMYZ3nVnoFRPjJVOwNgCLcBGAs/s1600/Kingswood-Music-Theatre.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="172" data-original-width="293" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nrzfTn4g1uI/WVaOp3AZYII/AAAAAAAACI4/Ft1BbQEbTMEf8pGMYZ3nVnoFRPjJVOwNgCLcBGAs/s1600/Kingswood-Music-Theatre.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By summer 1987, the Dead were riding a wave of popularity due to the success of "Touch of Grey" on MTV. It ended up changing a lot of the dynamics of the group, and certainly played a role in how the final years of the band would go down before Garcia's death.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a real solid show, though, and could be worth a listen.</span></div>

It still happens, in fact...the latest incarnation, <a href="https://www.deadandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Dead & Company</a> (featuring John Mayer), has webcast a couple of shows for free this summer. They will wrap up their month of touring this weekend in Chicago, at Wrigley Field. Should be a beauty! 😵</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Speaking of Chicago...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I was growing up, Chicago was the largest city in close proximity...and that meant about 3 hours on the road, counting traffic, to make it to the Windy City. I didn't make it all that often, but I remember the trips very fondly...and I have known many nice folks from Illinois, despite the midwestern rivalry. 😉</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lovely venue above (the Auditorium Theater) hosted the Dead on this date in 1976, and a local radio broadcast captured the jams...and boy, there were some jams...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif;">...mellow ones, though. The tempos are still a subject of debate to this day! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It rained during this show, I have read, so the big man had to wear a coat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>(Garcia was famous for his plain dark tee shirt look, so a blazer was a big deal! </i>😄<i>)</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It's a cool show. Some unexpected choices among the tunes, and some odd placements, if you look at trends and that sort of thing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vintage 1985, in summary. <i>Blaze it!</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">For me, this was a tape which contained almost all of the first set and the beginning of the second...and although the quality isn't superb, it eventually became a favorite.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really like the 1985 sound. It does seem to be a little stretched at times, sort of straining...and Garcia's health was becoming worse, so maybe it's all hindsight. Who knows. Loved that guy, though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Love's a funny thing, you know? Keep enough for yourself, but don't forget to spread it around. Many people never get it from anyone else.</span><br />
