haha, that's great. Jesse Jarnow's HEADS from earlier this year is a great read for many reasons, but one of them is that you learn how the internet was essentially created to talk about Dead setlists.

Maybe the internet would be a more chill place if Hunter had founded the EFF instead of John Perry Barlow.

If you can't see this, it's San Francisco 1976--the Orpheum Theatre Broadcast On Three CDs. Think I've heard some of it--- is the whole thing worth getting?https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81AtX4mDZRL._SL1425_.jpg

don't know that set, but 76 is a super interesting year - they toured more than they had in 75 (hardly any), but not as much as they would the following year. The syracuse show from 76 is really something else. that's about two months after these. if they're doing cold rain & snow and cassidy and tennessee jed, probably a good find

I have this set - good show, tho Dick's Picks 33 remains my go to 76 set.
It's taken from a radio broadcast, and fidelity is about on a par w/ a mediocre sounding Dick's Pick. I've seen a number of these GD radio shows for sale in UK rec shops - this one looks like a choice set, too (Dark Star>Drums>Other One!):

They totally cut the bonus tracks from the single disc reissue, it looks like? Weird. Those were cool bonus tracks.

The Cornell set got added to Dave's Picks. This, with mucho Pigpen, is up nexthttp://www.dead.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/product-main/daves-picks-22-prod-shot.jpeg?1492192469
Feelin' fine with the Felt Forum! Dave's Picks Volume 22 presents the last stop on a collector's choice run in the Grateful Dead's home-away-from-home, New York City. 12/7/71 yields a highly pleasurable Pigpen-filled show and what was surely a top-notch Tuesday for all who attended. Talk about vibe-ing with the crowd! At their prime in terms of lineup and performance, the Dead churned out a batch of songs that would soon become well-worn Europe '72 favorites ("Jack Straw," "Brown Eyed Women") and also served up solid versions of freshly-minted classics ("Sugar Mag," "Friend," "Casey Jones"). That winning combination of Pigpen AND Keith? Nothing but peak "signature showstoppers" including what could potentially be the finest "Smokestack Lightning" of all time. The complete show runs a wee bit short (for a Grateful Dead show, that is) so we've rounded out the release with much of the second set from the previous night, December 6, 1971. With exceptional takes on the likes of "Wharf Rat" and "Uncle John's Band" and a massive "The Other One," we're pretty sure you won't mind.Limited to 16,500 individually numbered copies, Dave's Picks Volume 22: Felt Forum, New York, NY - 12/7/71 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and features illustrations by our 2017 Artist in Residence Dave Van Patten (stay tuned to learn more about the illustrator in an upcoming All In The Family piece).Audio, more info: http://www.dead.net/store/special-edition-shops/almanac/daves-picks-volume-22?cmpid=dn/2017April14/AnnouncingDaves-main-image-1&eml=2017April14/3950520/6131962&etsubid=33554028

think keith joined in fall 71, and pigpen was around til summer of 72. this is a good show!

The Pigpen / Keith overlap is definitely worth hearing
The Cornell set got added to Dave's Picks? Is there any confirmation on that? Because there's also this, out May 5th

I recently realized that my favorite Dead jams are from versions of Dark Star in which Keith is playing Fender Rhodes. To find every single one of these I listened to every Dark Star from the relevant time frame--basically 73-74 (turns out the group acquired the Rhodes in May of 73). The fruits of my OCD are below w/brief notes.
6/10/73 6/24/73 (can't hear Keith til almost 12 mins)6/30/738/1/73 (my favorite version ever. pure kaleidoscopic sunshine from start to finish, plus searing slide from Jerry)9/11/73 (probably my second fav. moodier. they almost sound like can on this one)10/19/73 (Dick's Picks 19)10/25/73 (Rhodes briefly in beginning, restarts 10 mins into post-Mind Left Body jam)10/30/73 (post MLB Jam, also gets synthy)11/11/73 (back and forth btwn Rhodes and piano throughout. epic and famous version)12/6/73 (INCREDIBLE. arguably the spaciest ever. kreutzmann bends the fabric of time)
5/14/74 (Dave's Picks 9)6/23/74 (no vocals, excerpt on So Many Roads box set)7/25/74 9/10/74 (DP 7)10/18/74 (Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack. Ned Lagin joins on second(!) Rhodes)
It should go without saying that every one of these is excellent, especially if you dig fusion Dead. And I find exploring adjacent Other Ones, Playin in the Bands, and Bird Songs to be just as rewarding.

9/10/74 from Dick's Picks 7, that is.
― J. Sam, Saturday, 15 April 2017 01:59 (seven years ago) link
very cool! I always had a hard time connecting with dark stars beyond the classic 68-69 versions - e.g. live dead, two from the vault, august 68, which are some of my favorite dead music ever - so I will check those out. sometimes the later versions just seem so nebulous that I have hard time knowing what to look for. nice to have an "in" and who doesn't love fender rhodes??

Oh yeah, Greyfolded is one of my favorite things in the world. After my recent 73/74 "Dark Star" odyssey I revisited Greyfolded and, studying the chart in the liner notes, sadly realized my beloved 8/1/73 version wasn't used. Can't recommend it highly enough for maximum uplift.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QsoDMEXFXM

I haven't seen that in close to 25 years now but I still use the line "I'm just trying to get my space together before I go to the show" (as uttered by some super fried person in that film) from time to time when I'm trying to, you know, get my space together.
