A great place to space your face.
Thank you for a real good time!

I asked a similar question a while ago about jazz. The consensus that time around was that most of us loved jazz. I figured I'd ask about another genre, only this time one that is stylistically very different from the music of the Dead. How do you fantastic people feel about rap music? Personally, I'm a fan of a lot of what I've heard, though I'm still pretty new to the genre.
They just blew the roof off the joint last night! If you haven't checked these guys out yet, do yourself a favor and find them. They have some good videos on YouTube, and lots of free downloads on archive.org
DEAD FLOYD 11.9.24 Aggie Theatre, Ft. Collins, CO

Shine on you Crazy Diamond > Viola Lee Blues > Fearless > Scarlet Begonias > Fire on the Mountain > Pigs (3 Different Ones) > Death don’t have no Mercy > Have a Cigar
Nobody Home > Not Fade Away
Was it a bargain? There’s definitely some damage and looks like there’s mold spots. Anyone know anything about it? I’m personally very excited about this find.
That’s the talk for tonight’s Goose show. Get a ticket if this might be your chance to see him. Still just a rumor but everyone likes rumors…
I know a few people had mentioned wanting to join in on the weekly "book club" I was embarking on, so I figured I would put up a weekly post for it. We'll be listening to the June 74 tour. This week is week 1, so we begin with 6/8/74!
Guidelines
This is a very chill endeavor. I'll list the ways I generally approach it and some things I think make for better discussion, but don't feel like any of this is something you have to do. Want to skip a week? Join partway through? Drop off after 3 shows? Listen and never discuss? All totally fine.
(Just because this is the internet, I thought it might also help to put out there what good discussion can look like. If someone says something you absolutely don't agree with and it boggles your mind how someone could listen to the same show as you and come away with such a different experience, get curious. What are they hearing? What are you hearing? If you listen again looking for what jumped out at them, can you find it? This band made some wild and complex music and it's worth looking at from a lot of different directions.)
Save this thread and come back to post throughout the week please! I'd love to read what other people think about this show.
Just found 5/16 on btree (https://bt.etree.org/details.php?torrentId=621888) and also found 6/21.
Am I missing something? Where are all the AUD recordings? Did they not allow or suppress taping at The Sphere?
I'm probably really out of the loop on this, just seems odd and out of character for all the shows to not be out there.
The late lamented Ken Kesey went to the next plane this day in 2001.
No I’m not spam! This is a legit recommendation.
I have a SVS PB-1000 and love it! These PB16 Ultras are incredible. I would love one but can’t spend almost $2500 on a subwoofer. I wish I could! This speaker will rattle your entire house! My PB-1000 pro has a ton of punch. These PB16 Ultras must be mind blowing.
Btw what finally got me on the bus? Hearing the dead on a system that actually had some good speakers. Specially a subwoofer. Was a maybe $1200 Sony system in like 1995. Was terrapin station off Arista years. Blew my mind. Have always loved my dead on nice speakers. Btw SVS makes some pretty incredible tower speakers as well.
This sale is lower than they have ever sold this sub for. Previous lowest was 2020 during covid. Amazing price. Wish I could get one!
Was listening to a 1956 Elvis Presley album which made me wonder who influenced Jerry’s musical taste at a young age. Relatively new to the Dead. Thanks!
Edit: Appreciate all who’ve taken the time to respond. You’ve uncovered some wonderful music for me to dive into further.
Slow getting going but worth the watch. Love it.
Wake now to find the best eyes of the world in the world
Had a little visitor that was drawn into the music at work today
Had to test it tonight, freezing the rest for next week.
Will be a perfect pre show meal, seeing Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros next weekend! ⚡️
