one of the 6 shows at the boston garden in '95 was suppose to be my first show.
i would have hoped for this:
I'm sorry that's a real bummer.
My life was blessed with the wonderful opportunity to see this band alot over 9 years or so. and at each concert, when I would first come into sight of the band--that first moment--I just knew that each and every time I saw them was precious.

cool.
my older brother was huge into them. he was devastated.
Somehow, their shows in Maine were almost always above par.
They don't do for me as much anymore. I think I got sick of having to wade through so much crap to get to the gems. I'll always have a soft spot for the Fatman, but with the exception of maybe Lesh, I could do without the rest of those clowns

Only so long as Lesh goes nowhere near a microphone.
My favorite Dead era is '68-'70 for the improvs, '70-'75 for the songwriting. Anything after that is treacherous terrain indeed. The only member other than Garcia I enjoy as a singer is Weir pre-1973 or so, and that includes Ron 'Pigpen' McKernan. Any unaccompanied vocal by Donna Godchaux is an instant dealbreaker on any performance.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for Jerry's Travis Bean years.
But check out the second volume of Europe 72, its actually pretty cool.
I just found about this, on Dicks Picks 30 they back Bo Diddley for five songs. I think there were more, but on the official CD they're only five tracks. Its amazing. Go listen to it, its on spotify.
Dick's Picks Volume 30 is the 30th installment of the Grateful Dead's archival series. Just prior to their Europe '72 tour, the Grateful Dead played seven shows at the Academy of Music on 14th Street in New York City. Included in this four CD set are some performances from March 25, March 27 and March 28. The March 25 show featured Bo Diddley as a guest, whose performance is included in disc one. Other rarities contained in this volume are the only Grateful Dead live performances of "How Sweet It Is (To be Loved by You)", "Are You Lonely For Me Baby?" and an instrumental encore of "Sidewalks of New York".

Odd, I just listened to a Phil and Friends show today from the Terapin Studio.. They played that song and i thought it was a very odd selection for them.
i have a link to a pretty sick live grateful dead comp, thing is i can never get it to go to the end without erroring
if someone wants it, i can pm the link if u pm me.. all i ask of you is that you up the last track and pm it to me.. of course, they had to put my 2 favorite dead songs right at the end before it errors

"a seamless audio supercut of an entire year of the Grateful Dead tuning their instruments, live on stage. Chronologically sequenced, this remix incorporates every publicly available recording from 1977, examining the divide between audience expectation and performance anxiety."
