Just the 4hrs and 25minutes long.

Archive might be a more ethical source with hindsight. Youtube is insidious like that. You can skip the tuning bits without ads on A, so the overall show is a lot shorter even if it's an aud rather than a soundboard


A few doing the rounds last few weeks



Solo comp, had to rip the cunt due to constant interuptions

garcia, lesh & hart on that


basically same lineup again doing it live

I fucking love that David Crosby LP, I might turn off this atonal bollox I'm listening to on Bandcamp and give it a blast.

Interesting thread for this board. Very off message.

Can turn naughty
No other album I know of quite captures the stoney haze, dewey eyed, orange and yellow glow of California at that time quite as succinctly

In case you didn't already know, there's a bunch of side albums from the same time (some from the same recording sessions) with the same lineup under the names of the P.E.R.R.O. Sessions, David and the Dorks and a another comp called If I Could Only Remember... These Sessions. I guess they're easily findable but I have them if you can't

I'll hit you up. I just played "Laughing" three times in a row and am going in again.

The PERRO sessions have shining gems. Quite a few Crosby and the Dead gigs online that soar. Crosby was on Shakedown Stream Friday night, got stoned, rambled a bit then bailed early.

Also who else should be on this thread - I’m thinking early (especially live) Santana, Blind Faith/Traffic for starters...

My copy of Food of the Gods has an endorsement from one of The Dead's drummers,

"Terence McKenna is a wild man, probing the depths of the great mysteries of the mind. He asks big questions, he rides the Edge. He's an explorer, a circumnavigator of human consciousness."

halleluhjah this thread, thanks version!

almost started a JA vs Dead matchup poll just for the windup, but then thought better..

after going thru the so-so studio albums, and only really being interested in about half of live/dead, they finally properly clicked with europe '72 (actually also 'skull and roses' live set from '71.) then the whole internet archive / youtube thing opened up. internet age is great for the dead, you can get to all the superior and massively abundant live stuff without being part of the ole hippy tape networks. and yes, it's harder fro brits. all you hear about is live/dead, am beauty, working mans' d, and a load of cliches about dh's and parking lot culture. but now i also know who betty cantor is.

so first dip of toe in thread with this fab 'cumberland blues' from europe '72 triple set.


sounding like a bluegrass band obsessed with 'bitches' brew' or somthin

keith godchaux riding swirlingly under jerry g's lines is so great, phil doing his melodic gamboling lamb thing, hopping about adding watery blots of colour, weir tightening everything up with that itching just-skank rhythm guitar...

the sheer surge and joy of those instru passages..

garrulously chattering yet making room for each other, the through-and-around playing, the audible sorting-out of personalities, the playful drift to ineffable 'click', but unity never too easily held together in advance. they're kinda the greatest band of all time, really.
