1977 . . . hard to really define, every year was a good year. The band had to endure many changes, they held true to the music and the long strange trip. It is not easy to be on the road for extended periods, combine that with getting out there, forging ahead, playing in the band night after night . . . what an energy level! Bobby, Jerry, Phil, Billy, Mickey, Pig Pen, Tom Constanten, Donna, Keith, Brent . . . thank you all for giving it your all.

When I was in high school in the late 80s and getting into all the hippy music of my parents' generation, I thought the people I saw into Grateful Dead were too much like fawning sheep and the little sampling I heard was pretty boring! I couldn't understand the fuss. But with more exposure and awareness of the variety over the years, and more exposure to bluegrass as a foundation for appreciating their jams, I like them more now than at times past.

My favorite era is probably the early Mutron III years 1977-1978.

Just got inspired to listen to July 8, '78 Red Rocks version of Estimated Prophet right now. Makes me want to pick up my guitar and mess around with envelope-controlled Q and frequency for a high pass filter.

Found the same one on Youtube! That's probably where I got it from:

24 trips around the sun in July.. heard my buddies’ tape of a St Louis 1977 show.. was a bit awestruck, never really heard music be played with such honesty before. Instant convert.

Instant convert.

If memory serves, I first heard them in 1963. Not instant, but they grew on me.

so sweet right there

As much as all hazs to be gudsz
The Boyz played a lot
and a lot of long shows that were great to be at
are just so-so to listen to.
And some say that some long slow shows are unlistenable
you had to be there
too







This may be the best "Baby Blue" EveH!

There are certain locations where the hottest shows ever played-, got played.

Favorite or magic venues across the globe, like Hogs camp on the Eel River
(maybe only Jerry played there?)

Some of these would be east coast shows anything within a short drive of a 'familk'-dive,
that was in Saunderstown Rohde Island(Bobz adopted, family's 'rents home)





But that said,
Dropped Gnomishly by this Dead Head...
Due to the level of animosity that shows up,
the allergic-jerk reactions of the many under experience`d

there is that
hard deadacated thread

BRAIN DEAD SToOPID MUSIC....?

noises have no 'brain' & can not be stOOpid

There is no stupid music just sounds that do not measure up to the listener TASTE. A subjective thing based on the background and retardation of experience, of the listener

Music, if defined rudimentarily; is noise.
Noise, by its very nature, is an irritant.
It can also be a salve or ointment

as such any noise can be music & can be all things at once to any given listener.

You'll never measure UP
Never be

By French law,
foie gras is defined as the liver of a duck
fattened by force-feeding a super corny taco with a feeding tube.

a process also known as gavage. ...GAVAGE THE ACT OF GOVERNMENT SANCTIONED FORCE FEEDING
~YELLING SO THE HEARING IMPAIRED CAN UNDERSTAND THIS . . .

Its flavor is described as rich, buttery, and delicate,
unlike that of an ordinary or exCanadian goose lifer.

A certain magic was lost after the 1974 touring hiatus and retirement of the wall of sound. But my favorite era is early 80s. Brent is my favorite keyboard player for the Dead and when they had 3 strong singers they had some great harmonies. A couple years after he joined and really jelled with the band and before Jerry’s drug use curtailed him.

I saw them a bunch in late 80s to 95. It was awesome.

I had a friend named Andrew. He was a big deadhead he had 4 older sisters they were all all-in too. Virginia(Ophila*) Shara, Amy* Debbie
Andrew eventually stood 6.6 tall His sisters too were very tall They were Merril Lynch Fenner Pierce Smith (&Shinn) Kidz And were big in supporting Sinn Féin in the US & Ireland...They went everywhere; Europe, Egypt even!
In the early'80s (in between tours, when I went) I went college in the Adirondacks, Saranac lake & in Lake Placid; I like to joke that I survived Paul Smiths College, Andrew went all 5 years to UVM in Burlington Vermont having a little to do with the start of Phish as that was happening (by the way).
Andy was the producer for a few shows including the Intense shows in '83 at Lake Placid & The Univesity of Vermont (A Jerry show).
