off of Oteil's new Garcia/Hunter tribute project "Lovely View of Heaven"

absolutely beautiful album, the Mission in the Rain cover is also incredible.

there are some killer shows from the 89 tours- this one at Hampton as well as the following night, Alpine Valley, Shoreline, Philly, I could go on and on listing tour dates lol. most people know of the Philly show I think because of the official release but that's just scratching the surface of the heat they were bringing that year. I'm generally a late 60s-late 70s era fan but 89 was another peak for them for sure.

Best Mission in the Rain? (self.gratefuldead)
 

the 2/28/80 Kean College version is pretty much my favorite song of all time, but I was wondering if anyone has one they think tops it?

 

Sam Grisman Project might just be my favorite Dead related band out right now, just discovered them last week!

as long as you're not sharing unsolicited Dick's Picks I think you're good to go ;)

man I have listened to 11/19/93 so many times lol, I remember sitting in my neighbors house trimming his homegrown weed with him years ago when he put that one on and I was just like holy shit man what show is this???

last I heard they were actively working on the script and I think a few other casting decisions had been made in addition to Jonah Hill. probably still a long way away from actually shooting the movie but apparently it's typical of Scorsese to keep things in development this long while he works on other projects. I dont think the controversy over Jonah's texts or whatever it is will effect the movie idk very much about that situation though

I am really enjoying this one, not sure I'd put it above GarciaLive 11 or 13, or the Kean College performance, but I think it'll end up among my favorites after a few more listens

not a mobile app but Spicetify for desktop might have an extension that does what you're looking for.

Hunter Seamons also has a great matrix of 3/18/77 I found on archive.org a while ago

I just did a full wipe of my system to try out Fedora KDE, XFCE & Budgie spins (I finally got fed up with Gnome not being what I wanted anymore after like 15 years of using it as my preferred DE) and didn't really have the same experience at all - even Fedora XFCE which you say was completely broken was working fine for me. I haven't run anything other than Fedora in a long time though so I can't really speak to the out of the box experience on other distros.

haven't had much time to actually pick any of them up the past 6 months or so, but I play guitar, bass guitar & mandolin. was working on learning In Memory of Elizabeth Reed by the Allman Brothers on guitar before life got in the way

 

awesome Grateful Dead tribute band from Philly

[–] themollusk215 2 points 2 years ago

I normally go for the 70s stuff more but these 89 shows have been hitting hard for me the past month or so

 

a very brown Voodoo Lady from one of the first Ween shows I ever attended

 

Wish I had taken some videos (or even just a photo or two) myself, but here's a great clip from Dead & Co in Philly the other night. Anyone else here go to the show or see them on this tour? They are sounding better than they have in a while imo

 

almost impossible for me to choose a favorite from Workingman's Dead, every song is so unique and special in its own way, if I had to pick I'd go with Dire Wolf.

 

I've seen them play Tender Situation live so many times but this one felt different. I love how pretty and uh, well, tender this song has become compared to the original Pure Guava version. Really hope they do another two nights in Philly this December like they have the past two years.
