Conference rdvax::grateful

Here is an easy one (since there are only 6 of them and I have 5 on tape...)

My favorite Walking The Dog is from Philly ... 85 I think.  The tape my Dad
gave me when he heard I was collecting that song.  :-)  Thanks again Jum!!

  

 ...anything to make my little girl happy :-)



 I think my favorite GTRFB is 11-4-74 (?) Harding Theater SF, followed closely
 by 9-19-91 MSG which had me dancin' in the seat Sat night after dropping DC
 off and trying to keep awake :-/

	I like the GDTRFB on the Grateful Dead Movie....I don't know
	what the date of that one is but I think this is one tune
	where Donna really belts

    
    My favorite Cold Rain & Snow was the one that opened the 2nd set in
    Augusta back in '84.
    
    My favorite Watchtower was the first one at the Greek.
    
    

    My favorite Playin' is from 06-14-85 (Greek Theatre), and it leads
    right into one of my favorite versions of China Doll.
    
    My favorite Let It Grow is 10-02-77 (Paramount Theatre, Portland OR).
    
    My favorite Peggy-O is from the previous night, same venue.
    
    My favorite Dark Star is 08-27-72 (Veneta Oregon).
    
    My favorite All Over Now is 03-19-90 (Hartford).
    
    My favorite Lovelight is 03-29-90 (Nassau, w/Branford).
    
    My favorite set is 06-09-77 Winterland, set 2.
    
    My favorite Dancin' is from 05-19-77 (Fox Theatre, Atlanta).
    
    ... Bobbb
    

    Wish these were all in the same show!:
    
    Sugar Magnolia from 6/20/83 (Merriweather Post)
    
    Wharf Rat from 6/30/79 (Portland, OR)
    
    Althea from 5/15/83 (the Greek)
    
    Morning Dew 10/12/84 (Augusta, ME)

    Eyes>Wharf Rat--almost 45 minutes long 9/11/74 (London) 
    
    (I don't think they'd do two Wharf Rats unless it was a Wharf Rat
    Reprise....)

    re.6
    
    That sounds like a WONDERFUL set list.  Too bad it didn't happen...
    
    Would love to hear all those, though. :)

    The absolute best Scarlet>Fire was 5-13-77 and anyone who sez different
    is . . . entitled to their own severely misguided opinion.  :^)  Wish I
    had a better copy; it's odd that it isn't very well circulated since
    it was broadcast on the radio.
    
    Jamie

    Ahh favorite versions.  There is so much to chose from adn it depends on
    your mood BUT here are few of my favorites:

    O.K.  Everyone compile these songs and send 'em to me.  O.K.? ;)
    
    Rob

I haven't yet heard a live version of Box of Rain that I like as much as
the studio version ....

The Scarlet->Fire from 5/8/77 still blows me away.  I haven't heard 5/13,
though.

    best tons of steel ;-)  - In the dark :-) :-)

11/8/70: Mystery Train -> My Babe

Man, this is not an easy question to answer!
	

    Best Looks like Rain, must be Sunday night Boston Garden '91.
    Bob hit those notes like it was 1970.  It moved me to tears and helped
    me reconcile a past relationship. A song I will never forget.
    
    Best Samson & Delilah also the same night, first song second set.  the
    floor became this big colourful oriental rug rolling back and forth
    like a human wave machine.  I'm a very visual person.
    
    Best Eyes, many dates, I prefer the older fast funkadelic jazzy
    versions than the newer ones, though Branford does add alot.
    
    I-don't-even-have-a-name-plate-yet-Jeff
    

 Ah...that Sunday night show :-)

    Best day Job: Currently being played by Jerry in my office, 8-10-92 :-)
    
    I seconds dc's vote for 5/8/77 Scarlet Fire,.. but I also second his
    haven't heard the 5/13 version....
    
    To behonest,.. the only song I keep track of is Eyes,. .and the 
    9-3-77 version has yet to be topped IMHO

>    My favorite Watchtower was the first one at the Greek.

	Yep, this is still my favorite Watchtower.  It is made especially
	sweet by the fact that I was there - and I still remember/feel
	the crowd reaction going from "Huh?" to "! :-) ! :-) ! :-) ! :-)"

	Bob    

    Bird Song --> Looks Like Rain --> Deal    3/7/81   College Park, MD
    
    When it happened, this sequence knocked most of the bullshit out of my
    life.
    
    I'm still looking for an upgrade to my poor-quality tape of this show.

	15 Jul 88 - Greek Theatre
	 7 May 77 - Cornell

	Favorite Shakedown: 15 Jul 88 Greek Theatre

    They've played at Cornell before?  Think they'd consider doing it
    again? :)
    
    Rob

	Bird Song, 4/29/71 ...

	nice, mellow, and long.

	In two words, er, three words:  NO FOOLIN' WAY !!

    re.23
    
    :)  Didn't think they'd play there again.  Just trying to get my hopes
    up a little bit. :)  Cornell's right across the lake from where I'm
    going, so...  Oh well. :)
    
    Rob

    Oops...
    
    .26 should say re.25.  Now I'll stop cluttering this place up with
    meaningless drivel.  Thank you. :)
    
    Rob

    Aside from the fact that Cornell is probably too small for them
    to play these days (sigh....) I think I've heard from someplace
    that the last time they played there Jerry said something like
    "Not this fucking place again!"  This was supposedly in regards
    to the acoutics or other architectural disadvantages of the
    hall (Barton I believe).  But this could also be one of those
    confabulated memories ;-)

    re: cornell
    
    Barton Hall certainly does not have very good acoustics.  It was
    originally build as an aircraft hangar, not for concerts.  Now it's
    used for lots of things - it's kind of odd that I've taken final exams
    in the same place that a Dead show has occurred.  I think that the last
    time the Dead played Cornell was '81, and I kind of doubt that it will
    ever happen again (due to both what the Dead and what the Cornell
    administration would want).  I hope that Cornell someday books Phish
    for Springfest.  I must echo the sentiment that the 5-8-77
    Scarlet->Fire at Barton Hall is quite incredible.  Never heard the 5-13
    version.

    Rob, do you go to IC ?

OOooops -- Guess I'll third this one - 

Re: Bob W I was here too and that was one of the cooolest reactions that I've
ever seen/felt at a show to a new song... Place went out-o-control (West coast
style of coarse ;^) 

 

My favorite Sugaree is from Lake Placid    
    
Picked up the nickname Grateful Glenn at my kayak instructor clinic this past
weekend ;^)

    Yup, Rich!  I'm starting my freshman year at IC this fall! :)
    
    Rob
    

    
    Bob & Glenn.. I was there too!  And Bob, you described the crowd
    reaction perfectly.  I can still see Jerry's grin while he watched us
    all getting it.  :-)
    
    Lake PlAcid memories are pretty killer too. :-)
    
    My favorite Knockin' on Heaven's Door was the 1st one they played
    without Dylan - at Red Rocks '87.  Standing up there.. you really felt
    like you were KOHD.  And it was the first time we heard Jerry sing the
    come take these drugs away from me - I won't shoot them anymore line. 
    Still gives me chills.  
    

	fav. versions of tunes that I have seen live...hummmm

	Music Never Stopped - RFK 91

	Shakedown Street    - Hartford 84

	Tom Thumb	    - Providence 85

	Cold Rain & Snow    - Worcester 4/2/87

	This is too tough for me, as long as it was jungle-like....

	I liked it!
		
	

Favorite Shakedown Street....3/25/91 Albany

	Ah, yes.  An incredible memory.  Red Rocks '87.  Last night of
	the run.  Looking down at the band.  Looking out over the rocks
	behind the stage to the lights of Denver in the distance.  
	Looking up at all the stars.  The tunes rolling over us.  
	Watching the full moon rise while the song played...

	One of the most cosmic moments in my life...  I get big doses
	of "warm fuzzies" and a bit teary-eyed replaying the memories.

	Bob

    just got that one Marv...I agree...
    
                                       rfb

    Again, I have a limited choice to pick from, but I just got One from
    the Vault and have several favorites from that show, August 13, 1975.
    
    	Sugaree
    	Blues from Allah   (a fun one to listen to in the middle of the 
    				desert under the moon! ;^)
    	Eyes of the World  (a diffenent all time version!)
    	Crazy Fingers

I love that when it happens!!!  Always good to make a box or two for folks
every now and then to dust off some of those tapes that don't get played
often enough.
