January 23 - January 29, 2012

Welcome back to the Tapers' Section, where this week we have music from 1972, 1973 and 1991.
Our first stop this week is at the Academy of Music on 3/22/72, the second of seven nights before they left for Europe. From that fine show we have Me And My Uncle ; Sugaree ; Chinatown Shuffle ; Playing In The Band ; It Hurts Me Too ; Brown Eyed Women ; El Paso ; Brokedown Palace.
Next is music from 3/16/73 at Nassau Coliseum, with a rare first set opening China>Rider. For that show we have the bulk of Set 1: China Cat Sunflower > I Know You Rider ; Jack Straw ; Wave That Flag; Looks Like Rain ; Ramble On Rose ; Box Of Rain; Beat It On Down The Line ; They Love Each Other ; El Paso ; Row Jimmy.
Lastly this week is the start of Set 2 on 3/25/91 in Albany, shows featuring only Vince on keyboards, as Bruce had previous commitments and missed the Albany and Nassau shows on this tour. From this show we have Greatest Story Ever Told ; Crazy Fingers ; Truckin' > Spoonful > Jam > Drums.
Join us next week for more great stuff from the vault.

I have to agree. I may critique songs once in awhile, but as far as band members Iv'e learned to just keep my opinions to myself. I don't have to put that negative energy out there and offend others. Of course you can always say what you mean w/o saying it mean.
These little gifts brighten the day of a lot of people. You are doing a great thing here. I hope that people will continue to come here for what is something that only you are good at providing.
The Grateful Dead music is still truly loved by tons of fans where jobs are available and if they can hear rare downloads for free then they are all the more happier.

FIRSTLY always thanks to the fine job being done to provide us with all these morsels and great tunes, always fun to see whats on thisweek EVEN IF ITS NOT MY FAVORIED show, period lineup etc
WHAT I LOVE and had to point out to anyone who cares to read this is, IT IS JUST LIKE GOING TO shows, i have set next to a good friend, danced, had great musical experiences and than talk to a neighbor who experienced the same thing , but VERY different point of view,
what i love abopu the sight esp the taperspit, is taht if not in the mood for a late 60's meandering, or blues night witth the band stretching way out, but garcia so limited in hit tonal palletes due to equpiment that black gibson, love it but does it cary the ringing almost perfect tones of WOLF or hula girl, NOT even in the same tonal category
sometimes i love the early 70's but wishthey would stretch some of the tunes out, but they were still int here infancy
than shoot ahead to the 90's and es mid 90's I am always anxious to hear the moments that others think are great from a period where that word was replaced in my vocabulary by sad most nights HOWEVER there are some gems tucked int he debris
IS THERE ANY GOOD TAPE OF THE Helo slip FIRE from boston 94 i think, that is one brilliant moment in an otherwise very spotty period.
or the LONG EYES opener from foxboro, from same period,
well keep up the VAROUS opinions goign, and just like the tunes ifyou dont like a period or a particularly negative person DONT READ IT, or change the channel
peace and pleasant converstaions,
