    5/7/72, Bickershaw, have just finished set I. Plenty of good stuff here. Birthday Boy Billy K drives a very intense PITB. Good Lovin is another good one, with Pig again fixin’ to do some greazin’.

    4/29/72 in the great city of Hamburg. First set seemed good, nice “Good Lovin’” again. He’s Gone needs and will eventually get some re-arranging, or he has just been getting a few things wrong, like the order of the “nine mile skiddin’” and “cats on a tin roof”. Maybe a little of both. Just heard…

    4/26/72, at the Jahrhundert Halle in Frankfurt, is a monster show. No wonder most of the show figured as the first post-Garcia live Dead release, Hundred Year Hall. The 36-minute “The Other One” has not an ounce of fat. At one point Phil is doing a little waltz that sounds like the bastard child of…

  • Northridge Acid Test

    What is the state of our knowledge on February 1966 acid test at a Unitarian Church in Northridge, CA? I still show a gig 2/6/66 at “Northridge Unitarian Church”, no notes or references. And I also show a gig 2/19 at Valley Unitarian Universalist Church on 2/19. Maybe we have  been discussing somewhere? Seems like…

    The 4/16/72 Good Lovin’ is another balls-out raunchfest, a killer, Pigalicious feature. http://bozosandbolos.blogspot.com/ http://deaddisc.com/disc/Europe_72_Box.htm

  • E72, post 01

    I have been listening to the integral E72, starting from 4/7 and working my way forward. Not obsessing about details, just listening while pedaling. Some random thoughts. 4/7 has a lot of bucking bronco energy, but lacks discipline. 4/8 so much more controlled and effective than the first night. What a great night of entertainment…

  • GD Portland 7/25/72

    Man, that interlude in The Other One on 7/25/72 is the bee’s knees. Jim Powell’s analysis (at Deadlists) just refers to it as “mystery theme”. LIA: “the Allmans-like Jam in the Other One of 7/25/72 … sounds so composed it’s hard to believe they only did it once.” It sounded a little Jeffersonian, a little…

  • GD Fillmore West April 9, 1970

    https://archive.org/details/gd1970-04-09.137104.aud.cousinit.flac16/gd1970-04-09-d2t03.flac What a hottie this Good Lovin’ jam is! These shows are only represented in imperfect audience tapes, but they are crucial documents from a period relatively underrepresented on soundboard tape. 7/12/70 at the Fillmore East is another one of these shows that has gotten too little attention because of soundboard snobbery. For this period,…
