Radio City crowd takes the lyrics right out of Jerry's hands. I think even he was a little taken aback by the gesture.

Radio City opening night. Working out tech troubles..but seem to have it dialled in here. Awesome sustained transition..sample hunters take note.

10 years after the Bust on Bourbon Street....The Dead come back to town with a serious point to prove.

gd1980-11-26.135530.sbd.miller.flac16 Mix still hasn't been fully set, so barely any drums...or guitars...just a sky high Mydland ripping like an angel sucking on a devil.

I went to the ends of the earth to verify that they did, indeed, play it this slow...or somehow a gigantic magnetic field was cast upon the dozen-or-so isolated recording units capturing this. Further than mellow...this drags your head straight into the basement. Real bummer...but powerful and beautiful
It Must Have Been The Roses

gd80-10-23.101256 --- I thought the previous night had a rowdy Chad crowd...nothing compared to these schmucks. I believe the conversation/request to please be quiet was attempted...and they very firmly asserted they were not going to shut up. Even though these guys are harshing out the entire section...someone still passes them a rose...("pass the rose" triggered different images in my head) Maybe the sentiment brought a brief moment of self-awareness? Or maybe the taper moved the mics...

Is Mickey really playing a Dhol here? I'm hearing the specific phased 'swoop' sound of Punjabi music. Quite distracting. Makes you think...Mickey might be the REAL king of the wooks for making them think drums were cool. Too bad, drums suck.
