    SIAP this is a few months old but someone made a Spotify playlist of every officially released live recording and ordered them chronologically. 346 hours.

    I’ve gone into a Sugaree hole but I just keep listening to 5/22/77 over and over. Give me some of your favorites

    Check out some early Brent era. 6.21.80, 9.6.80 (my all time favorite), 3.28.81, 10.17.83 all come to mind immediately.

    I'm gonna assume this thread doubles as the official JRAD thread as well and suggest you guys listen to the Brooklyn 2019 show on Spotify. So good. I've had it on repeat for the past few weeks now.

    I’m just here to say that 5877 was my ATM pin for like 20 years

    Pigpen era above all else

    Dire Wolf #1

    Loser #2

    I’m day drinking and listening to the December ‘78 Winterland run

    Actually just bought this book today:

    Cornell '77: The Music, the Myth, and the Magnificence of the Grateful Dead's Concert at Barton Hall



    Looking forward to diving into it

    It’s my understanding that the Barton Hall show gained momentum as classic due to the fact that it was the best sounding soundboard available for a long while. The band largely discounted it as a forgetful show and pointed to other spring ‘77 as examples of better performances during the time.

    I could be completely wrong and rehashing shit that has been talked about ad nauseum in the thread (I haven’t read any of it). With that being said, 5/8/77 will always hit different for me.

    Nailed it. Bob Weir said as much to Rolling Stone. It was one of those Betty boards that got around. I think she's as much a hero in the legacy of the Dead as the band themselves because of the quality of sound she captured and helped preserve so many of these shows. I mean, a significant portion of the Dick's Picks are masters of her old DATs.

    It’s a great soundboard, but it’s also a definitive show, with all time versions of Dancing, Scarlet > Fire, NFA, and Dew. You could pick any number of May 77 shows as “the best” and have a valid argument. I’m partial to 5.17 for obvious reasons.

    Scarlet Fire at Cornell is when it clicked and I really “got” the Dead for the first time. Will forever be my favorite 25 minutes of music.

    I think it’s probably too late for any kind of a summer D&C tour, but hopefully Bobby is able to do some touring. Another summer without him is a summer wasted

    I was not really a fan in 1990. I had friends who were.

    I never saw Mydland live, that I appreciated. My second show was Richfield 1990, first show after he died.

    Very good He’s Gone.

    I’ve appreciated Brent lately.

    The first song that caught me was Scarlett Begonias. I bought Mars Hotel. Then I heard the cover of Tangled Up in Blue on the Garcia Band double album.

    That was April-ish, 1992.

    To this day, the best scene at a concert I have seen was Buckeye Lake July 1. 1992. Last show of the tour. More camping available than anywhere.

    Not available to DL yet. Guess I'll have to wait until all 3 shows are over before that's an option.

    No jazzfest or Austin on that list, as were on fattmante 's mostly correct list. Jazzfest hasn't announced their lineup yet, so I wonder if that means D&C will be there.
