TODAY'S PRIZE: When a chill creeps in the air, don this warm fleece lined jacket! Full-zip track jacket features a Lightning Bolt appliqué on the front. This product no longer available for purchase.
I don't think there is a head among us who doesn't think this is one of the deads finest pieces of music. But I gotta say...I'm really glad they kept the backing vocals to a minimum after this.
What a lucky guess, even hearing that vintage Pig organ.
the archives point to auditorium, but the date would point to west
just wondering which is right
west is right? they would never make a mistake on the game?
So I used my Deadbase and archive.org to find this show, and each showed "Fillmore Auditorium." As you pointed out, hornsby, the date would indicate Fillmore West. So will those of us who selected Auditorium be given credit? Are we grading on a curve?
And yes, that's a vintage Deadbase IV I'm using, purchased at Terrapin Station in Buffalo, circa 1990. Still a great place, owned by excellent people.
Used to go to Terrapin Station all the time, when I lived in WNY. Great head shop and also the place where I bought my first few dicks picks albums!! Good times...
...early stuff. We get plenty of '77 and sufficient '80s/'90s (which is to say: Enough already!). I'd like more '66, '67 and '68. There may not be very much in the Vault and they're likely not the highest quality recordings. But I was too young to see them then (first show, 11/10/73) so the '60s stuff has always been exotic. There has never been an official release of anything from 1967!
This goes for multi-disc releases too. I had Vintage Dead and Historic Dead forty years ago and loved 'em. Wore 'em out. That was all the '66 we had until the Birth of the Dead and Rare Cuts compilations. Still no other official releases earlier than '68. And darn few from '68. '69 is better represented and more would be welcome in my home.
More early stuff, please.

Umm, Umm good. Gotta have it.
Now I'm starving
I wasn't there when NSB debuted, I was only a wee lad, but I was there 21 years later when it made its "second" debut. In the midst of the first Gulf War, it was a rare political statement from the band. Closed the first set as I recall. I looked at my buddy and we said, "sounds like New Speedway?" Sure did.
Didn't get to tour as much as I woulda liked, but agree with Spring '90 and the heatwave of '88, the start of the chaos at Alpine and the first time I saw the giant "scene" of shakedown parking lots. Buddies selling "deadagonia" shirts and my bro jumpin' on all the way east and back to Laguna Seca. Cheers to all years!!
whoops, meant to reply to emheffner
today it's all about your ears and the clock
you gotta know the era - if we didn't love 'em those harmonies would hurt
is it stand alone, or is there a hint that it came out of something?
when you've narrowed the possibilities on the archive watch the clock - there are a few that sound pretty close to each other, but only one that hits every verse and jam at the same moment.
Luckily for you there aren't that many possibilities, so it won't fill more than a few minutes of your time.
Written after a fine "let's get the f. out of here" moment by the band, and who could blame them.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world. Wake now discover that you are the song that the morniin brings. The children need our love dude, bring that to the table. It matters not the journey just get the kids to the light.
Gotta love that the GD had the stones to play this just after writing it.
That being said, I agree that the vocals were rough ... but look at what it blossomed into as a comparison!!!
It's all good, and a fun contest. I'm diggin' it (while playing HCS from RFK, no less). :)
I just uploaded the same pic twice lmao..
Here's the proper copy. Should be error free as far as spelling :P

Oh man, what a treat this song is!
Raspy, and inspired! Pigs organ back there really is a trip, like someone else mentioned.
Thank you for this little nugget! This really made my Monday!
Thanks for the art work. this could possibly be another correction :)
I've been loving the play on words. Anyone want to give it a shot? (not a play on words, 'cause I don't know which show yet!)
Artwork is good -- needs spell check
As far as I understand it, Jerry basically didn't deal with any of the selling of his own products, be it art, music, photos, etc. He had people who he trusted to make these decisions for him. Heck, he didn't even buy his own jeans and t-shirts!
The tie thing came about almost without his knowledge if I'm not mistaken. The company bought some of his art from a guy that Jerry was working with in trying to get his art work out. They clipped pieces from them and printed them on the ties. As for the rest of the band and the GD logo'ed stuff, it's been going on for years and we all have bought it in some form or another. It's all about the music in the end but the guys gotta make a living.
It's raw and rough, but fresh and powerful. May not be the best version ever but it sure is fun....not to mention historic.
And as someone pointed out, I am not sure I had heard this show before, or it has been a really long time. And it is a good one.
pigs organ in the background is trip, as well as Phil's vocals. I'm gonna make a wild guess. 12/20/69
....like proto-versions of songs - before they are moulded. intricate traces of licks latter famous...evolving vocals...I´d love to have more of them! Thanx for a great job done, people at dead.net!
Art looks good, but check the spelling. I've never heard Harf Rat.
Is Franlin's Tower a well-known local landmark?
Been working on some cover art for the 2011 release. Can't really finish it until the 30 days are up, but here's a start. Tell me watcha think :)

Made one guess, then had to retract and make another. Still not sure between the two.
people came to Jerry and said... hey, we should put your art on ties and people will love them (and buy them). he said... really? knock yourself out.
paraphrasing, of course. my point is that whether the band was in it for silver or love, there were always people around them trying to make a buck off of them. hell, bill grahm made a lot of money off of them (i'm just sayin'). and, anyone, myself included, that has ever sold anything at a dead show was sort of doing the same thing. that said, i don't entirely disagree with your point, but that's capitalism. don't we all have our share of GDM stuff?
man you would think that the dead site would be tolerant of others opinions but I guess not. Sure you will delete this post too... Worst vocals ever. One of my top 10 fav songs... Bobby sounds like he is in a an altered psychedelic state...
chill
must be serious pressure with (the capital letters) of stating that 'imincharge'

no wonder
Man that could be the worst most un listenable vocal version of NSWB I ever heard.. Its one of my favorite songs to.. Bobby must have been severely dosed Yikes
again
chill & lighten up (but you know, some just are too spun up)
idk. I see this comment and I still see your "no wonder Man that could be the worst most un listenable vocal version of NSWB I ever heard.. Its one of my favorite songs to.. Bobby must have been severely dosed Yikes" comment. So it looks like you're still in charge!
Oh come on ... are you honestly going to say that you never saw T-shirts, etc for sale at a Dead show?? Please.

Let me just say that I enjoy the 30 days of downloads, but as I scan each day's prizes, I must say I am put off by the crass commercialism of dead-logo items offered as prizes. Deadopoly board game, belt buckle bottle opener, wine bottle tote, travel blanket, track suit . . . really? Does this strike anyone else as tacky - at best?
Remember when the band wanted to name an album "skullf**k" just to mess with the record company, a company which got frustrated dealing with the band because they weren't just in it for the money? Well, one reason they are - were - so frickin amazing is because they were artists, not capitalists. They were trying to make something special and unique, even if their path ran away from the road to traditional commercial success.
I gotta say, I wonder if Jerry would be rolling over in his grave if he saw the Deadopoly game. Or the SYF wine tote. (I know he was marketing neckties, but at least they featured his art, not SYF logos.)
I understand "they" (the corporate organization, since they're no longer a band) are entitled to make revenue from their product (the tapes) as well as any merchandise they can make and sell. Still, for a band that was so accommodating to tapers ("when we're done with it, they can have it," Jerry said), it's funny that they shut off the archive to free copying when they thought it would hurt sales of official releases - and this is 16 years after Jerry's death!
Well, I totally am fine with their marketing of old tapes, but these logo items are almost like a bad joke, a Saturday Night Live routine. There - just had to get that off my chest.
Huge thanks to Jerry, Phil, Bob, Billy, Mickey and Keith, Pigpen and everyone else who played in the band . . . you gave so much and made my life so much of what it is today. And thanks to everyone else who worked so hard for and around the band. As far as today's corporate organization, it's just leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
The Dead refused to be in the Monterey Pop film because they thought it was selling out. Now that film is a cult classic, but they didn't want anything to do with the Mammas & Pappas/LA commercialism that drove the event. They were told it would be a historic document, but they still refused to do it on principle, even when CJ Fish and the Airplane signed up.

Interesting. Still, I remember reading an interview with Garcia in which he was asked about "selling out." I think it was after "In The Dark," and he cracked wise along the lines that they'd have sold out years before, but no one was buying. Theirs was pretty inventive business model, and they made a lot of money That wasn't by accident.
that the band were not always accomodating to tapers!
...right? In the last week I passed on some of my Garcia ties to my son. You still think this is crass commercialism?
Did others find this one easy? I'd never heard this rendition before but found it easy to pinpoint for a range of reasons. I love its rawness of it, and the harmonies are intriguing.
only because of where I started looking. Love this version, never heard before, either. Lights up my day.
It was fairly easy, but there were not that many to begin with. It could have been easier, for reasons you probably can guess.
I do appreciate all of these great songs. How about a jammin' Other One from the early Seventies? Fifty one days of the Dead so far without one of my favorite Dead songs. Maybe we need to go for ninety days!
Thanks.
I to am waiting for The Other One.
According to Deadbase X it was thier most played song.
My hope is that it is taking longer to select The Other One with so many to choose from.
But I probably wouldn't have listened to this show today without playing the game. Classic Pig rap! Gotta love it.
Ahhh...Jerry Garcia playing magical leads on a sunburst Fender Strat; Phil playing his Alemblicised EB-0 bass; keyboard-clicking B-3 organ, fuzz-drenched Bobby rhythms, three part harmonies, Pigpen, ratta-tat-tapping drummers...
This is the Greatful Dead that I will always love in a special way.
Now I see why they enlisted CSNY to help them work on harmonies for future records :)
Yes! Hahaha! I've read that Crosby spent a lot of time working with them for their Workingman's Dead album. No matter how rough or off-key their vocals might have been during this era, they still sound like gold to me. I love the Phil Lesh high harmonies of this time period.
....to start a birthday! Early morning Dead and a cup of tea. Enjoy your day, friends.

I agree with about the Vocals..a little suprising but it does begs the question what else had gone on prior to this recording? MM is a good thing.
