@@davidtingley9978 Preferably in the 70's and earlier. The whole circus got entirely too big in the 80's and 90's. Garcia was deified to such a ridiculous level he became a prisoner to his hotel room for years on end. It unquestionably led to his early demise. I remember being at a Garcia Band show at the Warfield in the early 90's, and at the break he switched from a black to a purple t shirt. People around me lost their collective minds. "OMG, What does it mean??" One girl was in tears. Uhm, it meant that he was sweaty and wanted a dry shirt, ffs.

@@grelch One thing I love about JGB is Jerry never missed a beat. It was his and he could be himself for those brief hours. I got into the Dead 87-88 and got to see them at a time when Garcia was healthy. You could absolutely tell in late 93 early 94 it was going downhill fast. The last show few shows I saw in 94 were not great The vibe had changed in the scene totally. My favorite era of the Dead is 73-74. I got this sense that they were tapping into to a different vibe in the jams, the flow of the music and everything else.

My friend, Betty Cantor-Jackson, was the recording engineer of this concert. When this was officially released a couple years ago I asked her for her thoughts. She said it brought back nice memories. She said she’d sit opposite side of the stage of Jerry. She’d be wearing headphones and intently listening to the audio mix and not paying attention to the band close by. She said during tours that Jerry would play little notes on his guitar to get her attention knowing she’d be listening and not watching. She would look up to see him smiling at her. It was their private moment during a public show. This recording brought that memory back. Long live the Grateful Dead!

Lost count after 500 concerts. The joyous, carnival of fans dancing. Positive vibes everywhere. The Dead’s lyrics are unlike any other. Fables, parables, homage, message of happiness, to the most sublime thought. Virtuoso musicians. You need to see the archival live shows. Being there amazing. Best live performing band!!!!

Dead will always be the most important band that has ever been. People en masse put their lives on hold just to tour with them. The wall of sound, acid tests, commrodery of the crowds, deep lyrics, experimental dives into sound exploration each time they played. This band will change your life if you open your mind to what they were trying to do with their music. It's changed countless lives already and shall continue to do so as long as their music remains and I don't see it going anywhere anytime soon except out in all directions unto infinity.

Could not agree more. Here is a live audio version from 1975 that sounds immaculate: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o5OWo5Nlu9fNZnU.html, but I know how much Jamel likes to see the live versions, so this one from 91 is also pretty good: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7SqrKWrlrrXYac.html

Most famous? dont quite get that. Of course a must have tape back in the day, along with *hundreds* of others. Every show i saw them play was famous. To me. When the band was happening being in that place surrounded by thousands of ecstatic people dancing their faces off, that place was the coolest, most fun thing ever. Pure bliss, amazing energy, magic all around so thick you could cut with a knife. Sure could use a dose now. It healed me, sure as shit it did.

I always loved the music that came out during the era the Godchaux's where part of the band, it seemed to have more depth and an interesting blends of genre's.

Love cannot be stopped and music is one of the most powerful ways we can express and share love and hope. Thanks Jamel. Keep on keeping on the good job.
