Subject: Best Comments EVER!
Wow, this is just amazingly sick and reduckulous! I mean I thought the comments for 05/08/77 were pretty great tho overrated and of course who could deny the majesty of the reviews for 03/01/69, 04/08/72 or even 05/08/81? But wow 09/04/79 just blew my mind. We've got libtards, Hells Angels, Tomas Jefferson, nazis, islamophobes, out-freaking-rageous diatribes, countered by offense and even gentle chiding! To make it even better few have anything to do with the show! How crispy is that?

I love this poop! I love how GD songs evolve, never heard this primitive rendition of Saint and at one listening, kind of prefer these lyrics.

God bless the GD!

We forget how spoiled we truly are at times. The sheer volume of wonders that we can access for free is mind bending to say the least.

It's certainly a bummer that some freak has decided to plague the site. And please, don't insult us zoloft users. We don't have anything in common with this shit stain.

in recording this show. I love the insane energy the crowd brings to show their love for the amazing Dead music. they go ballistic in appreciation before and after every song.

Thanks to all the tapers, all the Deadlovers, and to archive.org for this site. I can't imagine how dreary my workday would be if I didn't know at any moment I could put on the headphones and escape away to some mystical moment in Deadtime.

Subject: jeez
where is the love and respect guys lots of negative comments is all i am seeing and Grateful dead a money machine? try probably the only band to have a legit recycled flow of money that kept them going not to mention a billion dead heads going, this whole hells angels thing bogus just cause those guys had a rep for being mean and nasty dont mean some of them weren't legit dont listen to these fools on here tell you all this false shit . and even if they do make a good amount of money off of it who cares, at least its going to them instead of some negative force. like islam sucks and all his negative support. i wasnt around them and never will be but i for sure as hell know that what you hear, see and feel from the grateful dead is something of a really pure innocent but mischievous nature and one of the truest energy's around, as jerry says they were a 'Signpost For New Space" not to negativity. and for those who don't dig the dead thats great. why not focus on what you do like instead of posting negative stuff on what you dont like. and this coming from a 19 year old whos never even seen the dead and yeah did get into it because of the drug scene that is hyped up around it but like many people i was shown the true light through this amazing music that makes people feel good groovy music for groovy people i didnt start listening to them until 2006 2007 they completely changed my whole perspective on life and i say really opened me up to true beauty and living for that next moment that you can dig on and share with other people but when you rag on all the heads from the eighties man thats not cool thats just putting down somebody else's trip. but i guess if this is your trip i shouldnt put it down im digging it but i shore as hell wont pass it on as truth

Subject: Good Show - Scarey Comments
I just discovered this site a few days ago.. was thrilled to have found so many GD show recordings! IMO, They played some shows better than others.. but I know I never went to a Dead Show where I didn't have just the best time! Over the last few days since I found this site, I've listened to and d/loaded a bunch of shows.. reading comments as I was listening, and for the most part, what people wrote pretty much reflected the general atmosphere and comaradare that was unique to GD Shows (I say unique to them, because I was born too late to have seen some of the other greats in concert, so I mean like of the last 25-30 years). Anyway, I was distubed by some of the remarks on this particular one. Seemingly instigated by islam_sucks.

I didn't take offense to his/her dislike of the Dead, as I believe everyone is entitled to their own choice of music. But what I did find disturbing, was the pure hatred toward just about everyone and everything that was spewed in his/her rant. It reminded me just a little bit too much of the "manifestos" left on the various online pages of some of these unbalanced people who have then gone and opened fire at schools, malls, other public events, killing many people & wounding more.. usually ending in suicide..sometimes not..
ie: Touscon, AZ; Ft. Hood, Killeen Tx; V-Tech, VA and others similar...

I realize that was written about 5 months ago, and sincerely hope that a rant was all it was. Over the years, I've been in a lot of different forums, discussion boards, had social pages, etc.. and have seen a lot of cruel things said to one another, threats made, nasty arguements, etc... but never before have I come across such pure hatred as came from this islam_sucks person... and in a GD review of all places!

However, I'm sure there are many such rants out there by many people that I just never came across, and nothing actually happened as a result of them.. so, I do realize that there's a good chance that I'm reading more into that than is actually there.

Just made me think though... that the ramblings of hatred online by those who did in fact act on them were never brought to light until after it was already too late. I don't blame anyone for not having picked out those ones or anything like that... I guess I'm just wanting to say that while I totally believe in "live and let live", still... we should also pay attention to each other..and look out for each other... I mean, who else is gonna do it? The police? Don't think so!

O.K. enuf on that..

Well, I didn't see my first Dead Show until the summer of '87. I instantly fell in love with them and everything about the whole experience. Went to as many Shows as I could after that, and can only imagine how the early ones must have been... beyond excellent I would think...

Peace all....

Subject: HEART OF GOLD BAND?!!!?
Really?!!!?

Because if someone's hearts were really made of GOLD, they'd be dead, because GOLD doesn't pump blood to your body.

So the WHOLE Heart of Gold thing is just a myth to sell lava lamps- YOU'VE BEEN HAD, FREAKS!!!

But listen to the music from 71-95 and you won't hear any hearts of gold, just a band that's BIGGER THAN A DRIVE-IN MOVIE, OOOIE.

The DRIVE-BY DEAD MEDIA will only tell you the CORPORATE FABLE of the Grateful Dead. The FAIRY TALE Jerry that explodes into fractals, when YOU TAKE TOO MUCH LSD. Well NOW we know the TRUTH, that a TRIP is nothing more than INGESTING LSD. A LOT OF IT.

LIBERALS. Is nothing sacred? Where is the DOG STAR?

Reviewer: ah_uh_oh_um - - August 29, 2009

THIS MAN'S PREVIOUS NAME WAS: ISLAM SUCKS! That tells you everything about this dude. He's a hater. Now, he's taking on Jerry Garcia? An undisputed genius - a master - until the day he died. I am not a religious person, but just like Jerry, I would never judge a man by his religion. These pages are no place for morons like oh_uh_um whathefuck? When I read his stupid diatribe in this review I felt nothing but pity for this man. All that LSD was clearly wasted. He missed the whole message. Where are you now oh-um? Fat and happy? Really, Dude? Okay, whatever you say. I'm happy for you. But please slam the Dead somewhere else.

DOWNLOADED 475,103 times.....hmmmm

~^|\_@|@_/|^~
~<->/<->\<->~

Surrounded by sycophants, zealots, and other weakminded trolls the DEAD kept their cash cow alive until it killed Garcia in 95.

From 75 to 95, we see a homogenized, pasturized, filtered GRATEFUL DEAD. The Money machine.

Produced for the masses of asses that would fling themselves towards the DEAD and their "Alleged Counter Culture", like moths to a flame...

The cult religion of the GRATEFUL DEAD is now a cult religion on line, where zealots worship their idols and live in the past.

The truth about Garcia's heroin addiction deleted from history, like FDR's polio.

When the DEAD started playing slower and slower, I knew they were into smack. I guess after going crazy on LSD the only way to slow down and come back to reality is on smack...some reality...

I bet I could sell dirt from Forest Knolls on eBay to idiots on line that worship Garcia.

Millions of people liked the GRATEFUL DEAD from 75-95...I wasn't one of them. I had seen them in 71,72,73,& 74.

I did like their brief indulgence in the acoustic shows of the early 1980's...but even that was tired compared to the acoustic shows of the past.

I couldn't be fooled with the hype, or "Mickey's return". (Mickey can't play, ask Chuck Brown)

It's nice to know the DEAD were making $50 million bucks a year in the 80's practicing on stage.... Some "hippies" eh?

So enjoy your religion and worship the GRATEFUL DEAD, it's all you got, which is pathetic, because the GRATEFUL DEAD have your money...

I wish Mickey and Billy had learned to play the drums from the bottom up, like Clyde Stubblefield...I mean, from the bass drum up, big difference in groove. But hey, when you are flyin on a few hundred/thousand mics of LSD, it's mind over matter, if you don't mind, it don't matter.

Enjoy your "DEAD show"...."kiddies". Live your fantasy as a hippy, a counter culture underground warrior, or whatever it is you think you are.

The problem with hero worship is, heroes die.

Subject: HELL'S ANGELS & the Grateful Dead
.

GEE, HOW MANY BENEFITS DID THE GRATEFUL DEAD DO FOR THE HELL'S ANGELS SINCE 1966??? 20? 30? 40? 50?

The GRATEFUL DEAD had a very intimate relationship with the HELL'S ANGELS for decades.

I remember the Hell's Angels attacking and beating up the anti-war protesters...

I also remember liberals spitting on uniformed GI's and screaming BABY KILLER at them...

Funny how libtards forget the facts.

yeah, you libtards can claim the GRATEFUL DEAD as your "peace and love band", that supported the HELL'S ANGELS.

Yeah, the GRATEFUL DEAD fans come in all sizes, shapes, and colors...including FELONS, Murderers, rapists, and drug dealers....

All inclusive...how nice.

.....Cough......BURP.....FART!

I remember Ned Lagin telling me about the automatic weapons the GRATEFUL DEAD used to fire at the ranch in Novato...how many libtards own automatic weapons? LMAO!

I remember how the DEAD fucked over Ned too.

Yeah, the GOOD OLD GRATEUFL DEAD...just a bunch of capitalist pigs....fuck over your friends for money...

Success and Money attract scum, like shit attracts flies, its a law of nature...

LMFAO.

Just remember morons, the GRATEFUL DEAD were close friends with the HELL'S ANGELS, and we all know who they are.

PS:

to 74_fan:

The GRATEFUL DEAD were INFAMOUS for ACID PARTIES...ACID TESTS. They attracted DRUGGIES....the morons that thought taking massive amounts of LSD-25 was the answer to everything....tune in, turn on and drop out.

Lots of SUCKERS from the 60's fell for these lies, and many SUCKERS still fall for these LIES today.

You can RECORD this show and all the shows of the GRATEFUL DEAD by using the "headphone" jack (output)of your computer and plugging it into your (input) reel to reel, cassette recorder, Beta-Max, VHS, CD, DVD, or MP3 recorder. or you can do what I do....use Windows XP or Windows 7 and use RealPlayer and download the show. See my previous posts for instructions.

The GRATEFUL DEAD laid to waste generations of children with lies about drugs, and other Bullshit. Gee, didn't Garcia die a drug addict of HEROIN...great role model for kids. But then again most liberals think drug addicts are great role models for kids. That is the sickness, that is the evil behind liberals. ABUSE THE CHILDREN...MENTALLY, PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY, POLITICALLY & SOCIALLY.

In the several years I have been DOWNLOADING these shows off of the IA, the only time the IA or the GD have REMOVED a show is to SELL IT FOR MONEY at the GD STORE. So kiss my fucking ass.

The GD were making $50 million dollars a year every year in the 80's. Gee, too bad Mickey Hart's father wasnt' running the band, he could have stolen a whole lot more money than he did in the late 60's when the GD were an poor underground counter culture DRUG band.

LMAO...

PSS: belmon36/edgehead32:<---two douche bags....no doubt were not alive in 66...or 69....or 71. I was. I was 13 in 68, I remember it well...

The 60's were great if you loved violence, mayhem, murder, assassinations, drugs, and hating the USA. Liberals think NIXON was worse than Hitler, Stalin, & Hirohito combined...too bad libtards were more interested in stalking and hunting NIXON than getting us off Arab oil after the Arab Oil embargo of 1974. Liberals will side with America's enemies if it helps their cause...

Liberals haven't changed much, they still step to the communist doctrine, the fascist doctrine and still hate America, oh...pardon me...I mean AMEXica.

We have at least 20-30 million illegal aliens living in America, counting their fucking anchor babies, which should not be given US citizenship, but liberals love to reward criminals...especially if it fucks over the USA.

WELCOME TO AMEXICA....mother fuckers....

It is a crime to let a sucker keep his money.

It is a crime to let a sucker keep his country.

So now we have the Church of the GRATEFUL DEAD and all its zealot disciples...Jerry "Jesus Christ" Garcia...the new GOD of the Godless.

God Bless Amexica...and its peons.

Keep your head in the sand and the rest of your body will get buried.

I call it Peking...not Bejing..dog eating commies.

PSS: SHITHEAD SAMMY<------with a screen name like this, this douche bag thinks my "character" is way out of line...lmao.

Ronnie gave amnesty to a few million illegal aliens...that brought in a few more illegal aliens...that bought homes with govt backed loans with variable interest rate mortages that they defaulted on when they re-set. I guess that is the definition of an American Republican today...eh? Is that rain, or are you pissing on me again?

Ronald Reagan? Hollywood Ronnie? yeah, Hollywood is home to lots of "Republicans" we all know that. BWHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA! (_____0____)!

Dress up ladies, it's show time.

Weren't Hitler and Stalin allies at one time? lol!

Was it Stalin or Lenin that killed more jews than Hitler? I keep FORGETTING?

I got no problem with the "boys" bein' multi- millionaires, it was people like me that supported them when Warner Brothers dropped them like a bad habit. They seem to have forgotten that. They seem to have made it and left us behind, left us for cold cash, for avarice.

Which would you rather have, your favorite dog or cat that died, or a million bucks? Which would you rather have your child that died or a Billion bucks? if your life is all about money, you are dead inside. You have never lived. You have never loved.

When is the music about LOVE, the love we had for each other?

All I want is free & complete access to 40 year old shows. All I want is to hear the concert in its entirety as it was performed. All I want is to show the GRATEFUL DEAD that the music is bigger than they are, bigger than their lives.

All I want to hear is the love people spent improving the sound for us to hear.

All I want is to hear the Love. If I have to pay for love, It feels like prostitution....got it?


Communism = Dictatorship + Public Ownership

Capitalism = Democracy + Private Ownership

Socialism = Democracy + Public Ownership

Fascism = Dictatorship + Ownership

Didn't Russia burn their cities, factories and destroyed their railroads while RETREATING to Siberia? LMAO....here's comes Sputnik....run and hide! run for your lives!

Russia still hasn't landed a man on the moon...40 years after the USA did it. Isn't the technology cheaper and better today than 40 years ago? LMAO.
Pass the stoli..and download a show of the GRATEFUL DEAD off the Internet Archive....the world hasn't changed...

How's the Hope thingy with Obama? Obama wants to build a mosque at ground zero...freedom of religion for Muslims...death to the branch Davidians... The Federal Government is out of control.

Clinton rushed to kill Christians and their children at Waco Texas, now Obama the first black Muslim president supports building a VICTORY MOSQUE at ground zero under the protection of freedom of religion...boy democrats sure have a lot on their plate, queer marriage, cutting and running from Iraq, raising taxes, killing american jobs, and now a VICTORY MOSQUE at ground zero, for all the good muslims...how can you tell a good muslim from a bad muslim anyways?

I heard no UNION CONTRACTOR would take the job to build the Victory Mosque in NYC....talk is cheap.

I wonder if the FDNY would put out a fire at the VICTORY MOSQUE or if they would stand outside saying " we ain't goin' in there, it might collapse"....

Obama said Muslims made many contributions to America, but he didnt' mention specifics...no muslim wrote or signed the bill of rights, the constitution, the declaration of independence...Muslims didn't invent the telegraph, steam engine, electric light, refrigeration, controlled flight, steal ships, or any of the modern things we enjoy today....even BEN FRANKLIN SAID:

Turn Turk Tim, and renounce thy faith in Words as well as Actions: IS IT WORSE TO FOLLOW MOHAMET than the Devil?

For those of you that can't or won't understand what Ben said, he said following: mohamet is as bad as following the devil...got it douche bags?

The most holiest sacred sect in Islam is called the ASSASSINS.

NO VICTORY MOSQUE FOR TERRORIST JIHADIST MUSLIMS.

gee, the only "review" bigray666 ever left was here...just to threaten me...must be a real tough guy...eh? lmao....nice to see the IA allows death threats....boo!

and the only "review" granddesign" ever left was here too...just to address my review....impressive....Hell's Angels Security Guards...now that shit is funny....I remember the Hells Angels Benefit concerts.....lots of them.

Hey guys try reviewing the shows you actually went to...if you ever went to any....or went to any concerts that were worth a shit...did you morons ever go to a show?

majorhomo: <----thinks burning the flag is free speech, not arson...funny how these fuck ups hate free speech....hey asswipe....fuck you....I know you understand gutter talk, where in Richmond or Oakland do you live?

skymags<-----another 80's DEAD HEAD into violence...too bad politics is last in this morons world, No wonder scum like Pelosi, Rangle, Reid, Waters, Lee, Nagin, Boxer, Feinstein, & Obama have been elected...politics is last, violence is first among democrats, liberals...and other degenerate scum. thanks for proving my point, dumb ass...funny how killing christians in waco is not a hate crime, but speaking out against a VICTORY MOSQUE at ground zero is...hmmmm.

to the morons that will respond to my post, If you do...I win.

thanks for masturbating your thoughts on line...
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did....

My home address is: 1232 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA.....see you soon.

bakunifan:

I read the Koran, it reminded me of Mein Kampf.

Mohamet said: convert them, enslave them, or kill them. He never said love your enemies, he never said treat non muslims as equals with muslims.

Jihad is not peace or love, Jihad is holy war, or if you believe idiots "struggle" like MY STRUGGLE...MEIN KAMPF.

Mohamet was not a pacifist, he never preached pacifism. Islam means ABSOLUTE SUBMISSION to Allah. Koran means the rectical. Mohamet was illiterate and could not read the signs "gabriel" was holding up, so Gabe had to recite the alleged word of Allah to moe.

Yeah, islam sucks because it is a religion, a political party, a blood cult, and a threat to humanity. But democrats will fight to protect its right to exist.

Jesus was a pacifist, Mohamet was murderer, child rapist, thief, liar, robber, raider, kidnapper and fraud.

Funny how Thomas Jefferson never protected the religious rights of Indians, or slaves....the Constitution was never used to protect the "religions" of slaves or indians...no one considered their crap to be legitimate "religons", and rightfully so, what is holy in worshiping animals as GOD, or Voodoo rituals with chicken blood, I mean really....gimme a break jerk offs.

Thomas Jefferson NEVER fought in the Revolutionary war he was too busy porking his slaves down on his plantation.

Thomas died broke, in debt, and never freed his 200 + slaves, he was an adulterer and rewrote the New Testament, he took out all of JESUS' miracles and renamed the book THE THOMAS JEFFERSON BIBLE. God said in the bible many times " do not change my words" or else.

Thomas is the father of the democratic party. When Jefferson was Governor of Virginia he was infamous for running from "mountain top to mountain top" from the British army Commanded by Bennidict Arnold. LMAO!

On page 433 of the book called "Thomas Jefferson An Intimate History" by Brodie, Jefferson gives us mathematical formulas for miscegenation. He gives us a mathematical formula for breeding black blood out of pure white blood. Fascinating. Of course Martin Van Buren openly admitted he had 2 daughters by a mullato slave named Julia Chinn, and educated them.

When Thomas was in France he put his daughter in CATHOLIC SCHOOL, LMAO! I laughed when I read that shit...Roman Catholics sided with muslims during the crusades to wipe out the orthodox chiristians living in the middle east. Roman Catholics are the same as Muslims..sucker. Jesus never went to rome, so why is the fucking pope in rome? The romans killed Paul and Peter in rome...hmmm....Jesus went to jerusalem (city of peace) shouldnt' the head of the Roman Catholic Church be in jerusalem?

Catholics, jews, and muslims were considered "undesirables" in America once upon a time. Back when Liberals worked children 12 hours a day, owned slaves, wouldnt' let women vote, own land or have a bank account, the good old days...lmao.

Thomas Jefferson had the luxury of slaves, now democrats have illegal aliens...and unions. same shit, different suckers.

ISLAM = 1400 YEARS OF ERASING WESTERN CULTURE FROM ITS BIRTHPLACE.

How come Clinton and Gore can kill Chrisitans and their children in Waco Texas and it's not called a HATE CRIME?

But when Americans say DON'T BUILD A VICTORY MOSQUE at ground zero, they are accused of a hate crime?

show me a GOOD MUSLIM and I will show you a JIHADIST.

History will write: NO MUSLIM EVER CAPTURED OR KILLED OSAMA.

The jews coughed up Jesus for 30 lousy pieces of silver, but Muslims won't hand over Osama Bin Laden for $25-$50 million bucks....hmmm.

Osama lives free among GOOD muslims...allahu akbar suckers. Jihad joe is on the march...has been since the 7th century. Now Muslims use stealth in the USA to secure their existance. Then now know violence against Americans only unites us, so they wont' use it...we should get rid of homeland security, its a waste of time and money...all the terrorists can get on planes anyway. they've done it several times already.

Muslims call Constantinople "Istanbul"...hmmm. the Church of Sophia was converted into a mosque, and still people tell me islam is a religion of peace. Should I believe their lies, or should I believe my own two eyes?

Muslims also tell me Jesus was not crucified Judas was. Muslims also tell me Jesus never rose from the dead. If Jesus never rose from the DEAD, Christianity means nothing.

I could be a muslim if I had ALL MY BRAINS SUCKED OUT OF MY HEAD.

Deadheadmonte posted some GRATEFUL DEAD photos a while back...from 65 to 95....in them not only was Ned Lagin Photographed Playing with the Dead, but there were pictures of Hell's Angels too....hmm.

Hunter Thompson got his ass kicked by Hell's Angels...in the book THE ELECTRIC COOL AID ACID TEST...Hells' Angels attended Acid Parties along with the pranksters....there were even Hell's Angels at Woodstock....

TO: Islam_Is_For_Devil_Worshipers:

I can't use the other screen names anymore, the people on the Internet Archive closed those screen names and blocked me from signing in with them. So now I am just Islam_sucks.

Yeah, The words I spoke made liberals attack me, persecute me, discriminate against me, and BLOCK me from speaking. Show me a libtard and I wil show you a fuckin Nazi son of a bitch.
ZEIG HEIL! you double talking libtards!

My crime, you ask? well, sir...it was worse than breaking all of the 10 commandments in the Holy Bible...I told stupid Dead Heads how to download shows using windows and realplayer!

If you tell someone how to download a show, the sycophants and zealots (you know who you are) attack you, as if you were taking food out of the mouths of their babies...yup...telling someone how to download a show is paramount to murder in the eyes of these fucking slobs.

I remember when the GRATEFUL DEAD would attack tapers, then they got smart. If it wasn't for those first rebels, bucking the "system" you fucking slobs wouldn't be hearing any of those shows...

The fuckers that live on this site think they can intimidate you, control you, dominate you, and make you obey them....it probably works on most idiots, but they can kiss my fuckin ass.

I don't work for these slobs, I am not their fuckin employee...I am not their slave.

yeah, I had a screen name with over 300 reviews on it, did the IA care? No. Now if people click on my screen name they cant' access all my reviews in one place...it's all politics...fucking horses asses.

I started to review shows by "THIS DAY IN GRATEFUL DEAD HISTORY" now, all the fuckers that attacked me are doing it. To them I say, you have no originality, no individuality...yer just a monkey see monkey do mother fucker.

To them I say:

Give 'em hell Islam Sucks. I know where your coming' from. I never write reviews. Don't have the time but I have to say thanks to you bro. Left wing assholes think free speech is only for them. The minute you say something that's not with their agenda they try to silence you. Your writing here is kind of disjointed but I agree with every thing you say politics wise. Islam is an evil cult of a religion. As far as the Grateful Dead go to me it's just music. I love the music but I always looked at it in a non political way. I know very little about the members personal lives and don't care to. Keep giving these "libtards" the business. You've got the right to voice your opinion anywhere including the archives. My Grandfather with 5 greats his son my grandfather with 4 greats & three of my other relatives fought in the Revolutionary War to give us this right.

By the way Islam Sucks I noticed you use 3 other screen names. I wonder how many of these burned out "libtards" noticed. Not many I'd bet.

For those of you who want a review of the show I'd say '79 was kind of a lackluster of year up until December. Brent was new to the whole thing. This an ok show but if you want to hear a real good '79 show try December 28th.

Subject: Lighten Up Guys
The Islam Sucks rant is a classic. Well worthy of an old SNL bit or a monologue by a tripping Bill O'reilly. Talk about somebody who hit the blotter too hard. Textbook Schizo/Paranoid rambling..............you can't make up disjointed diatribes like that off the top of your head. You've gotta be full blown batshit to let that kind of "stream of consciousness" writing flow. It's a real time look at a human mind melting down, an example of what happens when when a mind isn't strong enough for acid use. It's a social statement about the lack of mental health care available to the general public, a burning wreck of person tumbling end over end on the racetrack of life. Almost painful to watch but too fascinating to look away.

Fron the Dead to Hitler, with fascism, Jesus, the Koran and Thomas Jefferson thrown in for good measure..........if you fluffed it out, it sounds like a plot for a Tom Robbins novel. Don't hate the author man, be grateful for the entertainment he's provided and thank the gods if you can't understand what the fuck he's talking about

Subject: The Music & The Comments . . .
Always enjoyed Garden shows. This one no exception. Particularly fine "He's Gone." JG in excellent form. If you were sitting in the back, the show, while superb, lacked the intimacy of the Fillmore East, the Academy of Music on 14th St., or the Capitol Theater in Port Chester. ... but that could just be nostalgia for the late 60s, early 70s talkin'

As to the comments, I fully agree with the last poster's comments about Sarah Palin (Lord help us if she is ever in a position of power - being the Alaska Gov. did not count), and as to the Islam basher: by the end of your last rant, I could almost see the emergency medical technicians trying to start your heart. You know there's blood pressure and other trouble brewing when so many capital letters, exclamation points and expletives are used. Hope your next life is calmer and more user friendly. Please... relax and be well.

It's really just the music that counts. Peace to all.

@rightwingdullard:

A huge owner in Fox, which has singlehandedly made this nonstory into a rallying point (http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/fire-mosque-construction-site-tenness) for murderous bigots, is a Saudi prince: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/0821/fox-shareholder-funded-mosque-imam/
.. upshot= you're being led around by the nose to pay attention to these manufactured news stories that feed off primitive emotion and take on a life of their own, meanwhile the bailouts for the super-wealthy get ignored which is the whole idea behind this activity on the part of the anti-worker MSM.

If you ever concerned yourself with actual history enough to read the original writings, you would've gleaned that communism (small-'c', not the Stalinist, later-warped variety) has at is base the empowerment of the working class. Part of that is demanding the means of production be posessed by the workers themselves. This does not eliminate all private property.. just Big Industry, which otherwise gets used to economically oppress the underclass. Socialism, a milder approach than communism, doesn't get touched by a 10' pole by whom you are calling "liberals". That MSM is so totally controlled by such right-wing mindwash is truly ominous. (www.projectcensored.org comes to mind.)

I was always underwhelmed with the Dead's ability to put its following to work politically. But that's tough, even if they wanted to.. they wouldve risked alienating the hard-core libertarians and besides, with cannabis being illegal, a large proportion of `heads were walking around brain-damaged from tainted supplies (i.e. paraquat sprayed by U.S. Officialdom).
But I want to take this chance to thank them wholeheartedly for doing that bit for vanishing rainforests.. www.ran.org ... listen back to that GDHour, it's still good, and no, no progress has been made toward halting habitat destruction (my #1 issue before then and ever since, BTW). "Libtard" makes some sense in the context of the modern usage of the word "liberal" (which used to mean tolerance of others' views, but now is interchangeable with "neo-liberal" aka moneyworshipping POS a la Barry Satoro er.. I mean prez Obama who couldn't give a flying F about whales or the clearcutting of rainforests.

"most holiest" is horrible usage. Where did you get your education, some cheapskate state where they're too greedy to fund public schools meaningfully? Or some nutsack religious school where youre too busy thinking about how the priest just raped you and the nun strikes terror into you? It's either "most holy" or "holiest".. using both doesnt give you more impact, it exposes you as a flaming dumbass.

Yes, Islam sucks. Because it is a religion, and all such dumbshit superstition is the cause of basically all war through all human history. But actual Islam is a peaceful belief, just as true interpretation of the Bible would produce as opposed to the violent crazies of Fox boobtube. The suicidal nutjobs of Al-C.I.A-duh didnt come along until the advent of Wahabbism, the ultra-fundamentalism that was unknown before The West started mucking around in the region at the start of the 20th century.

You love to label people with the word "scum" without defining it for us. Actually you list powerful Dems I too find vile, because they're too far RIGHT that is! Exceptions being Boxer, Lee, and Waters. Some of the very few who have kept me holding my nose and pulling for Dems at certain times (times that are now in the past, BTW, as I could only be betrayed so many times before realizing an entire party is a huge fraud operation. And Boxer aint progressive anymore, whereas the other two are hereby cordially invited to join an actual left party.)

today's Democrats = Dictatorship (continuing to expand upon Constitution-eviscerating operations of Dubya) + Ownership (completely in the pocket of megacorporations) + Deceit (succeeding at bamboozling "liberals" (as opposed to us genuine leftists) via tokenism and gobs of highly-spun lip service while actually failing utterly to oppose the Repugs in any meaningful way.)

Wow, that "respond to me and I win" line is some true psy-op material.. you're really one sick, twisted co-intel turdsack! Thanks for making it so plain. Haven't any acid, but wouldnt mind a pure source-- alas, I don't know any CIA types (its origin, you know). Just to relive my youth.. but on 2nd thought, no, I can't get into a happy enough headspace, what with U.S. Law Enforcement going all apeshit on its own people for a decade or so now-- and the end of privacy, etc. (I confess to consuming The Alex Jones Show occasionally despite his being a bamboozled fool on things like climate change. But I listen to TONS of "conspiracy theory" shows from the left.. plus there's sites like www.inteldaily.com )

If you've been downloading shows for years, did you ever try listening to the lyrics? Less often Hell's Angels violence themes (though the relationship is obvious, i.e. Hell in a Bucket).. than peace and love ones. I always thoroughly enjoyed Bobby's send-ups of Throwin' Stones..

Commissars and pin-stripe bosses
Roll the dice.
Any way they fall,
Guess who gets to pay the price.
Money green or proletarian gray,
Selling guns 'stead of food today.
..
Heartless powers try to tell us
What to think.
If the spirit's sleeping,
Then the flesh is ink
History's page will thus be carved in stone.
And we are here, and we are on our own
On our own.
On our own.
On our own.

Wow, that's a lot of anger... From what I understand (and I may be wrong) Jerry tried to stay out of political arenas as much as possible and really didn't want that kind of thing to distract from the art. He was all about the music. I'm pretty sure he even said something like "Don't listen to what I say 'cause what comes out of my mouth is pretty much a lie; if you want to know what I'm really thinking, listen to my music" I also heard him once say "We would have sold out a long time ago - we just didn't know who was buying!"
I'm just glad I was on the planet at the same time as the Grateful Dead. I love the music and that really is what it's about for me. So express your opinions openly, keep them to yourself, whatever. That's your choice and that's the great thing about this country!

Subject: True Americana
@Islam Sucks...

The Grateful Dead took Americana music and spun it around the politics and events of the 60's, 70's and 80's. The experimented with sound, electricity and technology and lead the way to a lot of what we see in modern music today.

No one here is preaching right or wrong for the band supporting Hell's Angels, playing the acid tests, or firing weapons at the ranch (fact or not?).

Would you not agree that all of this is part of America? Drugs were around well before the Grateful Dead (early Jazz references to Cocaine, etc), Guns are a part of the culture (like it or not).

The people here are listening to music that was made available to them AS IT WAS BEING PLAYED because of a smart approach by the band - they were done with it, let others have it.

That's why we're here! We love the music. Review the sound, the jam, the groove and some of us think about the time in America when the recording was made. The Grateful Dead were a reflection of what was happening at the time.

As per your comment about Jerry...a little empathy would help. It's not easy being made into an icon. Almost every artist has struggled with it in one way or another (e.g. Dylan, Van Gogh, Warhol, Salinger, Hendrix, etc.) The pressure to remain creative. The quest for privacy. The burden of your art and the business around it. I suppose that some make Jerry into a "god" but mostly it is admiration of how he and the rest of the band managed to find the balance and keep going so well and for so long.

Enjoy the music and if you don't then I hope you find what you can enjoy.

Subject: Nice Show, But Why So Popular? (and Don't Feed The Trolls!)
Lots to enjoy here, solid '79 show with the band enjoying a 'MSG high' from all the energy the NY fans would put out.

That said, I don't know why this show is so popular--i looked through comments to figure it out but saw a lot of inflammatory stuff by a notorious troll who posts under multiple names, with angry comments from people who took the bait.

Look, the GD attracted all kinds of people, and still do: the loners, the freaks, the love children, the dreamers and dancers alike, all looking for some kind of community and rallying around this most GENEROUS and KIND band, who rightfully enjoyed the fruits of their years of hard work and made some serious coin in the second half of their careers--to which I say HURRAH.

There were/are also, unfortunately, the occasional losers, bullies and crazies who "don't get it"--not even a little bit--and see the huge audience for something like the GD and think, "Why isn't anybody looking at ME?!" So they post incredibly stupid, racist, ugly, idiotic stuff to kill your buzz and leech off the attention. Human vampires, in other words. People who have built online personas because they don't know how to live in the world, among other people, and are always looking to foist the blame for their own failures as human beings onto others (like by giving outdated, completely stupid advice on how to "share" these shows, when there are better ways of getting them...like, for instance, putting in a call for a tape/CD trade, or quicker technological 'fixes').

It's stupid on many levels--why do you need to 'own' a particular show when it's being streamed? If one show gets taken down, how many others are left? How many other sites are there for finding what you want? The list goes on...but, the human vampire never understands.

So please, ignore and do not respond directly, talk around the human vampire(s) when/wherever possible, and don't let them get you down. In the weather of humankind, some people suck and some people blow. Just enjoy the breeze and the sounds of the Grateful Dead!

Subject: A conundrum
While I wanted to spread the message that the best way to make these trolls (and that's all Oh Um Di Dum is) disappear is simply to ignore them completely. Pretty soon they get bored of no one responding to his pleas for attention and eventually goes away. I've seen this happen on dozens of forums, although I never thought I would see such negative trolling about the Grateful Dead.

But alas, the conundrum is that I too have responded and have brought more attention to the attention seeker. Thus the conundrum.

Um Di Dum: I know of a good political forum that are filled with people just like you that you might enjoy.

Anyway, this show is good, this period has lots of high energy shows and of course my favorite tunes as well. My only regret is that Brent wasn't with them in the 70's (yes I'm afraid I'm a big Brent fan)

Oh Um, save your negativity for a blog, this is about the show at hand not your take on who took how much money over 2 decades. Musicians make a living off of their music. Some make more than others. GD deserve every penny they get. Who else toured as hard and as long as they did? Very good show, loved the Shakedown closer. Sound quality is fantastic. Terrific setlist. Definitely worth a listen! He's gone is a standout for me.

Insulting the Dead and their fans, being a complete jack ass. It just doesn't work.

Special thanks to the girl who sold us what she called "dark star" out front. Not sure about all the buzz around this show. I had a great time and there was some good playing and amazing loud energy. We started out in "blue heaven" which is the top of the top section. By the opening notes of CCat, I was sitting on the fence dividing the floor in half, by the drums, I was standing on a chair in the 3rd row, narrowly avoiding the head banging guards who were at the checkpoint to the front of the floor area. I lost my buddy somewhere at the fence and as they finished Shakedown, there he was about 5 chairs away with the worlds biggest smile on his face. A great night for sure!

Hey, this is a great recording, actually any live Dead show is a great recording in it's own unique way, what else can one say? They're perfectly imperfect and somehow seem to capture a sense of magic in the moment through improvising a symphonic tonal quality, a kind of harmonious balance that transcends ones ability to convey in words the meaning and or significance of any greatful Dead experience. The Dead somehow tune into the vibrational patterns of energy that resonates out from their audience and act as mirrors reflecting the urgency of the musical energy out through the universal sphere of unlimited potential bliss. In other words, I really liked this show.

keep your ridiculous rants for the forums man. people can like what they want to like. I agree that after 1977 the dead when downhill but I'm not going to talk smack about people who like that stuff. The Grateful Dead became an American institution for a reason....they, in their best years, did an amazing job of mixing traditional American music with different genres resulting in something that many bands never attain...a truly distinct, unique sound. they are, or were, all excellent musicians with a fantastic ability to improvise by reacting to one another in an almost innate way. Sure the drugs wrecked a good thing but why talk about that? Why not be happy they produced so much good music for for us all to listen to for nearly 15 years of their career?

I LOVE THE GRATEFUL DEAD!!!

p.s. I am not a spun out hippie living in the past. I'm 27 and never even listened to the dead until I was 18....and I started to listen to them because they made great music...Zealot, sycophant? I think not.

GOOD SHOW AND A DECENT RECORDING IMO. THROUGHOUT
THE LMA I'M CONSTANTLY READING PEOPLE PUT DOWN THE SOUND QUALITY OF MP3'S. IF YOU HAVE THE RIGHT SOFTWARE AND KNOW HOW TO MANIPULATE IT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOSSLESS AND MP3 IS INDISTINGUISHABLE. THE PROBLEM IS PEOPLE TRY TO OVER COMPRESS. YOU CAN GET A VERY NICE RECORDING IF YOU SET YOUR SOFTWARE TO PUT TWO LONG CONCERTS OR THREE SHORTER ONES ON AN MP3 DISC. IF YOU SET IT TO PUT TEN SHOWS ON ONE DISC IT WILL DEFINATLY SOUND CRAPPY. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH IPODS AND OTHER DEVICES THAT PLAY MP3'S. I HAVE STEREOS THAT PLAY MP3 DISCS AND THEY SOUND GREAT. IT NEVER FAILS THAT SOMEONE WILL BE AT MY HOME AND I'LL BRING UP MP3'S MUCH TO THIER DISDAIN. ALMOST ALWAYS THEY TELL ME MP3'S SUCK. I ANSWER IN ONE OF TWO WAYS. I EITHER SAY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LISTENING TO NOW. THE USUAL RESPONSE IS "THAT SOUNDS GREAT". THE OTHER RESPONSE IS TO GET OUT A DISC BURNED IN LOSSLESS AND AN MP3 OF THE SAME SHOW. I PLAY BOTH AND DON'T TELL WHICH IS WHICH. SO FAR I'VE NEVER FOUND ANYONE WHO CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE. MOST OF THE TIME IT TURNS OUT THAT THEY ARE JUST REPEATING SOMETHING THEY HAVE HEARD FROM SOMEONE SUCH AS THE COLORFUL OH-UM. I'VE GOT THOUSANDS OF CONCERTS OF VARIOUS BANDS AND I LOVE BEING ABLE TO STORE THEM IN A SMALLER SPACE. I'M ONLY WRITING THIS SO SOMEONE WHO IS SWAYED BY THE NEGATIVE REMARKS MIGHT FIND OUT FOR THEMSELF. I DON'T CARE WHAT FORMAT YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MUSIC IN. TO EACH HIS OWN. BY THE WAY IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW MP3 WAS INVENTED AND DEVELOPED FOR THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY. THE M STANDS FOR MOTION THE P STANDS FOR PICTURE AND THE 3 MEANS THIRD TRACK. THIS TECHNOLOGY HAD TO BE DEVELOPED WHEN THEY STARTED TO COMPRESS MOVIES FOR DVD. THEY HAD TO FIND A WAY TO COMPRESS THE SOUND TRACK TOO. DO YOU LIKE THE SOUND WHEN YOU GO TO THE MOVIES? GUESS WHAT? IT'S MP3. PEACE AND LOVE TO ALL MUSIC LOVERS.

Surrounded by sycophants, zealots, and other weakminded trolls the DEAD kept their cash cow alive until it killed Garcia in 95.

From 75 to 95, we see a homogenized, pasturized, filtered GRATEFUL DEAD. The Money machine.

Produced for the masses of asses that would fling themselves towards the DEAD and their "Alleged Counter Culture", like moths to a flame...

The cult religion of the GRATEFUL DEAD is now a cult religion on line, where zealots worship their idols and live in the past.

The truth about Garcia's heroin addiction deleted from history, like FDR's polio.

When the DEAD started playing slower and slower, I knew they were into smack. I guess after going crazy on LSD the only way to slow down and come back to reality is on smack...some reality...

I bet I could sell dirt from Forest Knolls on eBay to idiots on line that worship Garcia.

Millions of people liked the GRATEFUL DEAD from 75-95...I wasn't one of them. I had seen them in 71,72,73,& 74.

I did like their brief indulgence in the acoustic shows of the early 1980's...but even that was tired compared to the acoustic shows of the past.

I couldn't be fooled with the hype, or "Mickey's return". (Mickey can't play, ask Chuck Brown)

It's nice to know the DEAD were making $50 million bucks a year in the 80's practicing on stage.... Some "hippies" eh?

So enjoy your cult religion and worship the GRATEFUL DEAD, it's all you got, which is pathetic, because the GRATEFUL DEAD have your money...

I agree with you AugustWest ,next thing you know we won't even be able to stream sbd's not because of the Deads so called greed but because people have to take advantage of a good thing like for example broadcasting the way to download sbd's. I remember when I had to go out and find tapes then sit there with a few decks and wait in real time for each tape. It was a ritual for us to get together and trade .In those days I really really cherished my collection because it wasn't all that easy to get them .We would have been all over Dicks Picks back then too.. I don't blame the Dead at all for cashing in on some of their sbd's after all they did make the music . I don't care to hear anyone else whine about the day the pulled the sbd's. Those boards are still out there, its just that people are to lazy to go out ang find 'em ,now that they can't go clickety click and have a dozen nice board tapes. There are still plenty of hot audience recordings available for download.
I usually only review the show but I finally had to say my peace. As for this show it is pretty Hot ...Imo Just about every year has its smokers and it's duds...

Great show overall. This was during Brent's first year with the band, only six months after he began playing with them in April of 1979. The bell-sounding keys do get annoying, but fortunately he seemed to use that sound less and less over the years.

Subject: Play for Clive
Dead dupree, the reference of "Play for Clive is Clive Davis, president of Arista records. Always loved shows at MSG. This was the show, if memory serves me, that I bought a ticket off someone at the last minute and was completly uncomforatable with the fact that this was in fact a real ticket, only to be told as we were walking in, that there were a lot of fake tickets being sold and you would not be admitted, in fact, the police would be talking to you. Ticket was off center and was completly white on the back. The guy taking tickets laughed at me and said,"Get in there, I'm giving you a miracle"

Sugaree - the second jam would have been SO GOOD if only Bob had kept the slide away. Overall, though, the first set is okay, but can pretty much be skipped over.

Set 2 - China starts a little sloppy, but really picks up on the segue to Rider, which is itself a little bit uninteresting, but good.


He's Gone > Jam > Drums > Space> Wharf Rat > Around and Around... is absolutely amazing. Especially, in my opinion, the second half of Space. Truly a beautiful soundscape. If you only listen to part of this show, listed to that string of tunes.

Overall, the show has its low points, but without a doubt, the people there got much, much more than their money's worth in the second set. It's truly stunningly good.

Always curious to me -- one may think there may have been more reviews for such a popular show.

Regardless, It's a good show, nice recording. Lots of interesting renditions of songs. Some fireworks.

[Bob]
We used to play for silver now we play for life (note 2)
And one's for sport, and one's for blood at the point of a knife
And now the die has shaken, now the die must fall
There ain't a winner in the game
He don't go home with all, not with all

In response to BigBoyPeete below, in Jack Straw Bobby does say 'we used to play for silver, now we play for Clive' referring to Clive Davis the president of Arista records. Other times he has said 'we used to play for acid, now we play for Clive'

Even though they must have been tired at that point, the encore of Shakedown kicks some booty and the jams are quite tasty. You can hear the crowd cheering, and the more they cheer, the tighter the song becomes. There is a lovely quiet jam near the last verse where Phil brings the kamikaze bomb-dropping fonk.

I even like what Brent's doing, but I will never like his 'tinkle-bell' keyboard tone...the one he uses most. When he gets on organ, piano, or a different synth, I like him 100% better. Those infernal bells....arrrgh! ;-)

Subject: MSG
The Graden was a great place to see the band. Very intense energy. I can think of many better East Coast venues, that were smaller, cleaner, better sound, like Hampton, Cumberland County, etc. But the Garden was the epitome of the East Coast energy, and the boys really seemed to feed of fof it. Brendan Byrne and Nassau had great energy, so did Philly - nothing like a Spectrum Shakedown - MSG had something a little extra. It is after all the World's Most Famous Sports Arena. I saw several shows there from '83-'87 and am very glad I did.

This is from their second run their, and I would definitely download this. To the last reviewer, what Bobby is saying in Jack Straw is "now we play for Clive." As in Clive Davis, the President of Arista records, who the Dead had recently signed with at that time. This tour was the East Coast debut for alot of the material on their upcoming first Arista release, Go to Heaven, tunes like Althea, Sailor>Saint, Alabama Getaway, and Easy to Love You.

i think this show is pretty dope. not exceptional. i really like a trio of songs in the first set. candyman, minglewood and tennessee jed are very solid. i think the sound quality is a little above average.

me and my best friend drove from school to the garden for our usual deadfest.....row 7 section o orchestra...the energy was wild....and when Jack Straw started and we heard Jerry's voice with an enrgy we hadn't heard fom him in a few years, it was the beginning of a great road trip...he was On that night,the band was tight..and when they came back from intermission, they just blew the roof off the Garden.scarlet was ok..but the jam and fire..cooked..and then an amazing he's gone..and the journey continued..i had forgotten how good they were that night until i heard this excellently recorded show...except for the few audience patches, sound is super...a great 79 show..Enjoy!!
