I chose this one because we really, really needed an opener besides 'Promised Land'

.

So far so good, 'New Minglewood' is snarling.

So far so good.
Mama Tried is actually the supple, and of course so is Peggy-O.
I was just thinking, have we heard a single "Ripple"????

The return of the Grateful Dead in 1976 also heralded the restoration of rhythm devils Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart for the first time since early 1971. Their frequent percussive excursions -- such as the exquisite sequence that links "Comes a Time" to a feisty "Eyes of the World" -- melt away the intervening years as if the two drummers had never been apart.

No shit. They're shuffling something awesome in Peggy-O!

We have not heard a single 'Ripple'. In fact:

Quote:

Ripple was only performed about 40 times by the Grateful Dead. The first performance was in August 1970. The song was performed in acoustic sets in 1970 and 1980, a handful of electric sets in 1971 and as an encore once in 1988.

There's an aggressiveness to this "Let It Grow" that I am really liking.

Good set so far aside from "Loser" which was a bit of a dud.

Interesting.

Listen closely to the drums in Let It Grow, j when you get there. They are getting it.

i'm having continual problems with these mp3 files. invariably one or two songs per volume cut out in the middle with fucking terribly loud distortion. it's very very very unpleasant in the middle of a sugaree in this case.

no one's having these problems? i'm only having these issues with these, not other, downloaded files.

No, but you are the only one downloading them (at this point)

What's the time point where the distortion kicks in?

I have told 2 of my biggest Dead Head friends about this, and they are EPICALLY FUCKING DISGUSTED

:nono:

And as I explained it to them that it makes you like the Dead even more, they were even more horrified!

My brother in law was over this week and saw me reading over the Dead wiki site and asked me "What's with this Dicks Picks' stuff?" When I told him he threatened to beat me to death with a bottle of Crown Royale.

I can't seem to shake 'Eyes of the World' right now.

Senator LooGAR · **Posted:** Mon Nov 23, 2009 1:26 pm

I'm playing catch up from Friday, but this has started perfectly and it's just what I need on a gloomy, semi-hungover Monday.

I've got 2 candles burning right now.

Just started on Disc 4 here. While clearly it was a big set to get through, I'm impressed that it's not dragging, for me at least. I suspect it's the lack of a true marathon jam.

That Eyes is WAY to fast, Jerry. Someone put this Dick's back on after the Phish show last night as we crashed with heads emptying of molly and filled with Ativan. I got up and shut it off. That's disgusting.

I thought it might have been me after I took some painkillers.

No drag at all for me (I actually listened to the whole thing on Friday-long day). This is like meat and potatoes '77 Dead.

i agree. i liked this pick a lot. best part was the recording quality allowing a rare unobstructed listen to both layers of drums, and they sound incredible. i got a little wary with some of the segueing on the 4th disc, kind seeming listless, or haphazard (as with that eyes), but overall i enjoyed it.
