    Which Bertha do you prefer- the ferocious, fast paced versions from 1971-72. Or the more jazzy, improvisational versions from 1976-77?
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    just wanted to register for the PJ-Deadheads club, love the dead, I grew up loving punk and hip-hop and despising the dead, but I learned the error of my ways; unfortunatly not in time to see them. Its hard to imagine a lover of rock and roll not finding something likable about those guys,

    btw, I'm going to see Ratdog this summer, pales in comparison, but its the best I can do at this point.

    When you see me on the street, yell out "FAVO!!!"

    I've been to alot of Pearl Jam shows;So fucking what.

    '71 - '72 versions. But I tend not to listen much to the Keith/Donna years.

    Carefull, you might trigger an avalanche of self righteous hippie rhetoric.

    Anyone pick up the new GD cd "Live at the Cow Palace" (12/31/1976)? Even though my bootleg collection is extensive, somehow I manage to overlook this show throughout the years. Get it for the Playin', Wharf Rat, Samson, Help, and Dew.. as well as the fact that it is one of the nicest mixes I've ever heard in a dead boot. Bobby's guitar really shines and their playing is like a cross between the 1974 and 1977 styles.

    Just starting listening to the Dead in the past few years. Although too young to have seen Jerry and the guys, I have followed Bob Weir and Ratdog around a bit (that is to say, when they opened for String Cheese).

    Is anyone into some of Jerry's bluegrass material, such as Shady Grove or Pizza Tapes?

    Check out the Old & In the Way disc I referenced above. Jerry played David Grisman (who I think is on the Shady Grove & Pizza Tapes discs too) along with some other great bluegrass musicians.

    If you haven't checked out the movie Festival Express, its worth a watch. A tour documentary of the Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and The Band from a tour they did across Canada. Some great performances and interviews.

    Finally, I got an email today that they are finally releasing Three from The Vault, which was the live series before the Dick's Picks series. This one is a '71 show from the Capital Theater in Port Chester, NY, and it looks good...
