I did enjoy everything post Wharf Rat to this point, actually. Wondering if I have the time to finish this bugger tonight.

I'm thinking we need to carry this over for tomorrow. What say you Bloor?

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Mon Oct 26, 2009 8:44 pm

Yeah, I hit the wall during "Stella Blue" so I'm down to finish the rest tmrw. and do my pick for Wednesday.

I will say that around 6:00 on "Space" turns into a fantastic bit of playing...really

I'm not gonna say you should pick it, but I'm gearing up for that huge ATL Volume 29.

I've got something else in mind for this week, but 29 is my likely next pick after that.

I made it through Space and Stella Blue. Got to the office for a little One More Saturday Night --> Eyes of The World.

Eyes might be the best morning song they play.

Just in terms of "songs to listen to in the morning"

I got so engrossed in the "Playin'" jam that I missed my exit.

Also, how about Bobby trying to cool out the unruly crowd? Anytime you can work the phrase "trading punches" into the conversation, its a banner day and a gig to remember for sure.

Likewise, calling them idiots for trying to climb the barbed wire. Tools.

And those that mention 'waking up' in the lyrics.

I rewound and started in on 'Truckin' because I didn't want to start the morning with Jam>Other Jam>Space.

And now for the next pick...I wanted to get something from the early part of the Brent era, specifically 1979-80 Dead Set/Reckoning era. Not a lot of options (probably for good reason) so we'll be going with this:

Quote:

Though there are some nice moments in the first set of this full-length concert, the first of the Grateful Dead's run of New Year's shows at the Oakland Auditorium Arena, held on December 26, 1979, among them a particularly vociferous vocal by Bob Weir on "Looks Like Rain" and a performance of "Alabama Getaway" the preceded its appearance on the Go To Heaven album by four months, the reason Dead tape archivist Dick Latvala picked this show for release obviously comes in the second set, which takes up the second and third discs. It is, in a sense, one long medley based on "Uncle John's Band" (making its first appearance in a Dead concert in more than two years), which opens the proceedings and closes them nearly two hours later. In between, there is another two-plus-year revival of "Brokedown Palace" and a lot of interesting jamming. The fifth straight Dick's Picks album drawn from the 1970s, this was the first one to feature keyboard player Brent Mydland and, coming in the last week of the decade, in a sense completed a first preliminary look at the '70s in the series.

Will up in the early AM.

Sound is real clean in the opener.

I am just pondering what kind of crowd you would get in Oakland, the night after Christmas?

How many people brought the children they were given as gifts to trade in the lot?

"I'll give you this 5 year old for 2 sheets of blotter and trashbag full of nitrous"

Yeah, I just put it on. Sound is pretty decent here.

Holy Wow, Friend of the Devil. Sounded like someone was coaxing the band along in a sing a long ala a classroom of 7 year olds: "Everybody now...'Gooot 2 reeeasons whyy..whyyyyyy...I cryyyyy"

LOMIT.

(Best version yet :lol:

heady baby for your extra. she needs a miracle.

Disc 1 is really good!! By no means a remarkable setlist, but seems like they could play anything and it would be affective on this night. Highlights for me were Big River (surprisingly, we've heard so many), Brown-Eyed Women (again, I don't really like this song), LLR and AL Getaway->Promised Land.

Really solid Disc1; less so for Disc2, Uncle John's Band>Estimated Prophet was pretty sweet as well, but up until 'Not Fade Away' I was kind of out of it.

I kinda hate CC Rider these days. I love Brown Eyed Woman, and I think we have a good one here. Not sure why but New Minglewood and Looks Like Rain have become 2 of my faves.

And holy shit, when you get to Shakedown Street, it seems like we're hearing not just a different set, but an entirely different set. Is RIck James sitting in?

Good pick, Bloorstein.

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Wed Oct 28, 2009 3:34 pm

I loved the disco/4/4 Brown Eyed Women and also enjoyed the arrangement of Dire Wolf...except that Jerry fucked up the words in both.

Agree with the reviewer that Bobby is running the show (and not in a bad way) here. This may actually be Bob at the peak of his "powers" LOMIT
