Robyn at GDTS, who went to school with me at Maryland and ended up marrying David Lemieux, hooked me up with second row center for this spin in the Windy City. Shakedown epic, plenty of new material, and a hammered pre drums. It was 32 years ago today. Praise DSO.

E: Brokedown Palace last Walking the Dog 84/03/29 [83] Let us for a moment revel in this absurd list from Spring 1985. 1 of 6 Walking the Dog. Bottom [9], Superstitious [8], Revolution [11]. Only Big Boss Man of 1985. And we have not even mentioned Might As Well, GDTRFB or Althea. Greg from Chestertown, if you were at this one I am forever green with envy. It was 36 years ago today.

This list from the second night in Pittsburgh as spring tour rolled on. First set inverted opener, the Bertha a little slow out of the gate. Nice selections the rest of the way in the first. Second provides a prime example of the machine at work, the pre drums especially stomped. It was 32 years ago today. Praise DSO.

Here Comes Sunshine, Eternity>Crazy Fingers> Estimated Prophet>Drums>Space>Last Time> Wharf Rat>Not Fade Away. E: Unbroken Chain.

We were sitting in the tour bus shuttle in the driveway at Graceland when Jerry walked by getting the VIP tour. Needless to say we all lost our marbles. It was 26 years ago today. Praise DSO.

A friend turned me onto them by Recording all of his albums on cassette In the summer of 1986. It was mostly A joyous blur, but I do remember being On line for the Althea and the Truckin'.

Still waiting to make an appearance at a BDP. It was 44 years ago today. Praise DSO.

Last night Basement Dance Party #6 pierced the silence of a cold, rainy December evening with three sets of Grateful Dead goodness. Textures from all eras consumed, the second set especially electric. The underground dance lab again delivered a journey through the human condition. Great way to start a week off from work, Big Fun. Set One 73/02/26 Lincoln, NB Promised Land, Loser, Jack Straw, Don't Ease, Looks Like Rain, Loose Lucy, Beer Barrel Polka, Big Railroad, Playin' In The Band.

Alabama Getaway>Greatest Story, Ship of Fools, Terrapin Station>Playin' in the Band>D>S>Lost Sailor>Saint of Circumstance>Wharf Rat>Sugar Magnolia. E: One More Saturday Night. Go To Heaven material brought to the fold. Alabama (6), Althea (12), ETLY (12) early plays. China>Rider opener full throttle, and evidently Passenger to close set one a thing in 1979, six times trailing only Music (14) and Deal (30). Love the early Brent years. Praise DSO.

Not gonna be able to help you on that one, but well done working your way in so far. No doubt your networking ability will get you and Whitney into the remaining shows. Miss you both, stay safe. Praise DSO.

I would hope all could play nice, and respect the music. Sounds like a great lineup with potential to produce interesting shows. Paging MC? Praise DSO.

Tennessee Jed, Cumberland Blues, I Need A Miracle>Crazy Fingers>D>S>Comes A Time> Gimme Some Lovin'>Truckin'> Black Peter>Good Lovin'. E: Day Job. Another fine example of the wacky good lists being produced in 1985. Only TennJed in the second set from the 80's on, and an opener to boot. The second set especially tasty, check that pre drums. I have found the second set Cumby to be quite righteous, and approve of the post space Truckin'. It was 35 years ago today. Praise DSO.
