An amazing find on Shakedown this past weekend in Hampton. I know @brokensymmetry.art would approve.

@davidlemieux.bsky.social - The recent announcement of the 50th anniversary of BFA and subsequent @bourgwick.bsky.social GDC S12:EP2 has me eagerly diving back into early ‘76 material. A year that I have overlooked but this new spotlight shows a refreshed and exciting GD! So thanks you two!

Having fantastic time reading “Loud and Clear” in conjunction with “Grateful Dead Gear”. Great companion pieces. Nice to be reminded how revolutionary the GD were with their sound in their early years. True sonic pioneers! “Primal Dead” hits a little stronger than normal in my current chapters.

@davidlemieux.bsky.social - A quick note to say thanks for bringing 09.16.87 to my ears via the #enjoyingtheride boxset. And especially this version of Little Red Rooster. Absolute smoker!

@davidlemieux.bsky.social - ETR #4081 has arrived. Looks amazing! Jumping right in…don’t know the last time I got a cassette in the mail. Thanks again Dave/Jeffrey and team!

This book showed up today and I’m looking forward to diving into it! Thanks #dennismcnally. My third book by him. Throughly enjoyed the Kerouac and Grateful Dead books. Both extremely well researched and written. Expecting the same here.

The Peggy-O from today in 1977 has a shorter but absolutely soaring solo from Garcia. The band backing him more and more as he makes his solo rounds. Pure beauty! #newhaven

@davidlemieux.bsky.social — Getting caught up on E72 shows this morning with 04.24. The 'Dark Star' "shining" part triggered a story that you shared between you and JN. I just don't remember where you shared that story. Do you? I'd like to revisit it. Thank you! New DP arrived today — happy day!
