I'm surrounded by beautiful Fall foliage here in Michigan this time of year and it brought to mind this quite remarkable period of Dead shows. I will never forget when I saw the Dead open up sitting around and playing accoustic music. I loved those shows, and unfortunately there aren't a whole lot of soundboards of complete shows from that period that are out but this is one and I hope that you enjoy hearing it as much as I do.
Yes the acoustic sets may not have as much variety as we'd like - but I really doubt that you can avoid having a smile as you listen to the boys chat between tunes or sing along as you listen to Ripple.. its a real pleasure for me and I hope you enjoy it as well..

ReplyDeleteThanks
fall sure is beautiful here in michigan, professor! but with it come months of cold winter:( keep up the good work, and "go Blue"...lol
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Michigan winters! I lived in the Calument/Larium - Houghton/Hancock area for 4 years...around the old AF radar site and Michigan Tech. Snow in the 400+ inches range!?! Bring it on!
ReplyDeleteGreat show you picked out sir (as usual). I really dig it when you pick out parts of the songs you like and talk about the magic you hear and feel. That's what gets us pumped to listen to the show. It feels like you've connected with your fellow deadhead tape trader and he/she is preparing you for the batch of new tapes you're taking home. Love it!
Love the deadpod and the acoustic set this week!
ReplyDeleteWould like to keep the music scene alive for one more week of fall?
I am in Ohio and cant wait to go camping next week at Nelson Ledges. They always have a Dead fest in the summer with 4 nights of Dark Star, called Gratefulfest.
