Before 3:45 we are off on a jam that given its advertised length may be worthy. Garcia is somewhat meandering in his lead parts here, but he gets the structure back in shape enough to sing the last verse. As the instrumental middle hits, Phil drives home some huge bass chords and perhaps gets this thing moving a bit more. The vocals are undermixed, a problem exacerbated by Jerry barely spitting out the words in the first place. Weir adds his guitar-figure icing a few bars before Garcia enters with the first verse. The band eases into this smoothly and with promise. That level of specificity just killed me and it probably the only reason I remember the video. Talked about the new Hunter Seamons matrix of 6/22/73 and the killer Bird Song, etc. Couldn’t find it with a quick search, but it was really funny. The was saying how he needed more tapes and the wife was flipping out. I hadn’t see that particular one, but I remember seeing a similar one a few years ago when this type of video first came out. Joe – Pondering the big questions, eh?! I’m generally of the opinion that if one thinks they’re a Deadhead then they are. I strongly considered that, and might have to revisit it again soon. I guess in the days of tapes and CDs I can understand a bit more because of the flow factor. Personally, I think it’s great, especially in the digital age, it seems like a non-factor. I never realized how strongly some people felt about filler until recently. Mike – That’s a great story, thanks for sharing.

Feel free to repost the link the proper way if you want. You both should enjoy if you haven’t yet. The whole video kills me and the transition section is priceless. Too much time needed to pull that off right now.
#China cat sunflower guitar how to
Know how to do that via a blog, but tried to figure it out this am. The link is below, but not sure how to post it so you can simply click on it. Not sure either of you have seen this on youtube “I married a Deadhead” on youtube. Really not sure what a head is, do you self qualify, do you need someone to label you, do you have to fill out a form and or could you be one and not even know it ? Could you even listen to and read about the Dead almost daily and not be a head ? All questions that are not worth pondering.

Over a hundred concerts and a big bump to my credit card later, still enjoying the dead most days. Mike like you this transition was my holy shit moment and the one that motivated me to listen more closely to the Dead. Great posts and agree with this pairing and the sometimes surreal transition between the two. I think the vocals for this combo are better than ever around ’89/90 but vocals aren’t usually the main reason I listen to the Dead. The filler was from 2-17-73 and I dove into 73/74 and have favored those years by a mile ever since.Īs for official releases, 6-26-74 comes to mind right away. It sounds a little melodramatic to say it but that moment changed my life (at least a little). By the time I heard the transition I was so into it I literally missed my turn by a mile and had to turn around to get home. The set ended and some filler came on I’m not a big fan of filler in the middle of the show but I was driving so whatever.

Not long after I got really into tape trading, my wife and I bought a house in the country and one night I was driving home from work listening to 12-12-90. Like many heads my age (born in 66), I started out listening to a lot of 80s shows and looking for the most recent show I could find (my first show was summer ’90).

They’re often special, and the jam in the transition (especially in this era) is a great example of what I love about the Dead. I really love the CCat>Riders from ’74 (and ’73).
