    I watched several parts of it.  Sounded great — especially for opening night!  I’m hopeing to catch a show this summer

    i am loving that they are committed to this new project. tons of tour dates just like the old dayz. it's been a fun ride getting the new kids on board! many of whom never even saw jerry play. saw if i had the world to give sung by otiel in columbus and i melted into a pool of water..

    If I Had The World To Give

    My copy of Dave's Picks Vol 1 Box set LP arrived last week. The Mosque in Virginia- 1977. I was excited because I don't own any '77 shows on vinyl that have a Scarlet-Fire run. I gave it a first listen and was totally disappointed. There was a 'pop' every revolution for most of Fire and also on Wharf Rat. Couldn't listen anymore after that. I gave it a look under sunlight and noticed scratches on the LP. I emailed dead.net and they were very gracious. They're sending me out another copy. Great customer service.

    For the live stuff I only do CD.  There is sooo much stuff out there and it's easier to manage.

    I have an extra VIP ticket to both the Friday and Saturday DeadCo shows this weekend at Wrigley. Willing to sell at half of face value if anyone is interested. PM for details.

    Good 1. I have that 40 min version of playing in the band. There is a woman singer on it that pretty much trashes the song.

    Donna. Not the best era for the GD. I once saw a 19 minute version of bird song in 1984, done acoustically by Jerry. It was great, but there were definitely times when he went somewhere far far away form the audience.

    I don't know. Her voice may not be appealing to some, but she was around for those great '77 & '78 shows.

    Agree. The band was great and then she would come into the song. Sometimes good sometimes too much. I am more of a fan from the tiger era. 82-90. Deda set era. Simply because that is when I saw them live.

    That playing in the band is ooofff. Perhaps her vocals are a little too high on that particular recording.. Not really familiar with her other stuff.

    I think I bought that record in 1979. I may still have it. Somewhere.

    Dig em out! I got this cassette pretty recently. My car still has a tape deck!

    Always thought that cover would make a great tattoo. Love the skeleton flipping the bird spinning the record. Just perfect.

    Maybe 'trashing' the song is a little dramatic. But if you have 40 min and nothing to do. Enjoy!

    Anyone else think EV used Casey Jones to inspire a couple songs off no code?
    Coincidence?
    I'm thinking too much?
    Just interesting.

    Also Kinks 'superman' & 'betterman'
