Ask and you shall receive.. at least sometimes.. :) this week's Deadpod was the result of a request just posted on the Facebook page for 8/23/68.. this is a great performance and a pretty damm good tape.. it took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles CA the night before 'Two From The Vault' was recorded.. this features the Dead during one of their most creative periods. I just love the energy on this tape.. the opening Other One on this tape just crackles with it.. The Dark Star is full of Pigpen's funky organ in that characteristic early opening.. The Eleven is one of my favorite versions ever.. and there's really no words to describe the Alligator->Caution.. this is the highlight of an incredible show.. dig it.

Jeez Professor - This Shrine show is just too much. Thanks to the requestor and thanks as always to you for sharing the music. I'd forgotten how the 68 shows could swing from gentle beauty (Cryptical) to primal intensity (11!). What a band.... Thank YOU
Wow, this show is pure, unbridled unrealness. I've already listened to it 4 times, and I'll likely listen at least 4 more! Fabulous Caution. I was also inspired to go listen to Two From The Vault. Many thanks, Professor!
I have listened to this show from a variety of sources. I think there is a variation in the lyrics at the end of the "william tell overture". Instead of
"...stretched his bow till it won't stretch no furthermore and/or it may require a change that hasn't come before"
the ending rhyme has something to do with releasing an arrow and hitting the apple core.
Actually, the GD site does include a variation on the lyrics:
and when he will release it will it pare the apple core.
Long time listener, first time poster :) This set is an absolute monster. TFTV was the first Dead I ever owned and this set/show is a tremendous compliment. Keep tracking back seconds at a time to hear the powerful drops and Phil's crushing rolls. Thrilling from start to finish.
Thanks Professor. Your efforts are massively appreciated.
