[@kennethdeanmiller7324]

Yeah, those Maxell XL II. Wow. I haven't thought about those in years!!! Definitely the best cassettes to use for recordings! Between '88 & '91 my older brother & I had gathered about 50 Live/Dead cassettes. Well, in '91 we decided we wanted to see a Dead Show on the West coast. And also figured

Awesome upload! Thanks so much! I'm sittin here and groovin and I'm watching these graphics and I'm nodding my head and realizing that I've been that high many times back in those days - the acid was real good in the 70s!

[@stefanschleps8758]

Jerry is God. LSD saves! 😅

[@newusernamehere4772]

Acids still pretty good only difference between then and now is you usually need 3-5 hits to get these effects instead of 1-2. Same chemical just less of it per tab. There are other drugs that come on tabs disguised as acid but that was true even in the 60s (Hendrix took DOC at Monterey if i remember correctly)

[@briangalindoherbert]

[@fubarsnafu4994]

Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia had an amazing relationship when it came to making with the music. Especially some of Hunters lyrics set me back a minute.

[@jefffelderman2409]

I never see anyone point out how otherworldly Jerry's extended jam on NFA is. I have listened to it 100s of times and it always blows my mind as being one of the all time peaks and valleys jam. It is a true musical composition. Jerry comes in real subtle with some overdrive and phaser, and then it just builds from there. The tension and release is top shelf. There is that peak he rises to where he just sprinkles out torrents of notes and then gets into that wicked bend in the upper register and just unleashes an emotional peak that, to this day, blows my brain wide open. He then comes off it, as if he is catching his breath, and gets real subtle again going for larger amounts of notes and amazing phrasings, finally concluding in that run of notes that seems to go on forever before bringing it back into the basic rhythm. I know I said a lot there, but I feel that strongly about it and, being a professional guitarist, can just analyze what he is doing and always find it completely mind-boggling.

[@xxBigBenjixx]

[@stephenchase3352]

Jeff Felderman aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. point well taken, sir. outstanding. the cornell shows represent a pinnacle in their career.

[@carriebrockman3789]

awesome sauce

[@mikemustang3791]

and as the hit melts on your tongue, the rest is history......hopefully Jerry hanging with Gregg today, a little Squire on bass and Bonzo slowing to the beat. And a mad keyboard by many past members.

[@kevinwingler3370]

try the jam coming out of he' gone may 6 1981 long island lol enjoy!!!!!!!

[@09jackstraw]

Music doesn't get any better. I still remember when I got the BettyBoard of this show and was blown away! I think its all I listened to for days!! God, that early May run in '77 was sublime!

[@TheMasterTelevision]

I wish I was born in a time where I could buy a lil van and follow the dead tours. That lifestyle would be what I need right now. My dad used to tell me stories of hanging out at camp sights with Deadheads, he was never one himself, but said they were the nicest people on planet Earth. I know theres the Grateful Shread and Dead and Company, but they dont have the same scene from what I've gathered. Hopefully once the world heals a little bit from this, something beautiful will come out of it

[@pharmies]

We still do that baby come join us

[@bartjoy5179]

You can find positive music out there but you have to dig sometimes. Nobody can replace the Grateful Dead and the experience of the city that followed them. It was an egalitarian but capitalist society. They fed each other and provided what they needed. They had their own economy. Everywhere was music 24/7

[@stefanschleps8758]

Roll with the changes brother. Peace

Yikes, Jerry (& everyone), absolutely dead-on stunning. The band was a living organism that night. You can tell they didn’t want to stop...

[@fubarsnafu4994]

I was at a show at three rivers about 40 years ago. They came out bad. Stumbling and mumbling with roadies and set hands. Bad energy build up in the crowd..Bumbled through 1st n 2nd set. 3rd set they came out ON FIRE! there was electricity on that stage that night. I can't emphasize how hard they came out swinging. Talk about a half time pick up. Man.. Good times. And the music never stopped!

Quite possibly the best 23 minutes of recorded music on the planet, Thank you Jerry!

One of THE greatest shows the Dead ever played. Legendary Cornell 5/8/77. I was lucky enough a couple years back to score a pristine copy of this show in it's entirety. The "thing that happens at the end of Morning Dew might just blow your fucking mind. Yeah, it's that amazing, and to this day I'm still not sure exactly where that sound comes from. ?????

[@eslmc]

Yes! This is what they're about for me. So precise and clean. What a great version! We hear every note.

[@stefanschleps8758]

I knew some brothers who were the runners up for wrestling in the 80's Olympics. Their choice was go to the Olympics, I think in '84, or go on tour. '84 was a great year! 😅

[@Mistralok]

"This was the best show they ever did!" This is by far the most common comment about them that I ever see/hear. Every single one of them is absolutely correct. Did this touch your heart? Did this touch your soul? Have you passed this on to the rest of humanity? If so then you are absolutely correct.

[@nataliezementbeisser1492]

Every single Grateful Dead show is the best show they ever did

[@sigguy5843]

I agree with Natalie. I saw the Dead at a number of venues in the early '70s. Every show that I saw was the best show they ever did. You had to be there to experience the wholeness of the experience. It is difficult to express how the band, the crowd and the building were all in sync, rocking to the greatest rock'n roll band of all time. They were at there best in front of a live audience. It was a contact high...In July of 1972 my girlfriend and I saw them at the Paramont in Seattle. We were dancing the night away in the balcony and the balcony itself was rocking to the music. Thank you Jerry RIP.

[@JayRiemenschneider]

I strongly disagree with Natalie. I saw a couple real duds.

[@dannyadamson5580]

I slipped a purple microdot in the hardrive

[@kennethdeanmiller7324]

Most of the purple microdots I ran across were NOT very good or just bunk. I mostly enjoyed the vials of liquid or those "tour sheets". Unperforated white blotter, just tear some off, eat it & enjoy. One night we were debating on if we were feeling anything yet. Sandy, my brother's girlfriend said "No, I'm not feeling anything yet." And I was smoking a cig and was starting to get that thin saliva taste/feeling in my mouth. And was about to say "Yeah, I'm starting to feel it". And Sandy looks at my bro and says "You look like a duck with blue lips". And as if that was not funny enough, I look over at my bro and he did!! He looked like a duck with blue lips!! And I was like "OK Sandi, your NOT feeling anything yet!!!

Garcia is tearing that guitar a new ass on the not fade away jam. damn

[@mwells219]

+Jeremiah Wilson Jerry had Doug Irwin specially make this guitar for him as no other guitar would stand up to his playing

[@StephenJKotz]

Actually, Garcia played a Travis Bean Stratocaster knockoff from summer of '76 through '77. He returned to the Doug Irwin (Wolf) guitar in early '78. And I don't think there was any question of whether a stock guitar would stand up to his playing.
