Usually Relisten. Sometimes Spotify which has all the Dick's Picks, Complete Europe '72, Download Series, Garcia Live, the studio albums, Complete Road trips and most of the official live releases. If you don't have spotify, it's worth way more than the $10 per month. Has 99% of all music I could ever want, from all artists and genres.What do you use to listen to the Dead? Archive.org or Relisten.net? Or something else?
You can fully control it, play one song at a time on demand, make play lists, etc. I have "Dead '72, '73, '74, '77" playlists, Pigpen-only playlists, All-the-Dicks-Picks playlist, max crazy mixes of random new or old music. It's pretty sweet. Try for a month and cancel if you don't like it. I'd be shocked if you didn't.I don't have it. I always thought you couldn't fully control your music with spotify, or maybe I was confusing that with Pandora.
Wow. Apparently that's the one and only time Jerry played alone since Grateful Dead formed. I hadn't seen this before. Good stuff. Thanks. (Whole show audio: here).
One of my all-time favorite songs. I prefer the solo (or accompanied only by John Kahn) version to that with the whole band.
I had to look it up. I assume you have it? What're the most and least played songs, out of curiosity?
I don't have it. Was just wondering if I should have it. I have no idea.I had to look it up. I assume you have it? What're the most and least played songs, out of curiosity?

This is from setlist.fm, not Deadbase, but the most played song = "Drums"! Lol

There are dozens that were played only once, seen here at the bottom of the list. Most are covers:

I saw the Boxer at the bottom...looked up the show thinking I was going to find a gem of an acoustic set with a second set electric. Instead, I was "treated" to a middle-aged Joan Baez first set.I don't have it. Was just wondering if I should have it. I have no idea.

That's a solid show. I love a good Ship of Fools, especially these days.Just starting the MEGA Playing from 5/21/74. 45 minutes long
People at that show must have died and went to heaven.
I'll have to check that out since I just got notice that the Dead & Co. show I had tickets for in July, is canceled . The whole tour is. I was looking forward to it. I'm so over the 'rona.Dead & Company right now on YouTube/Facebook/IG. Deer creek concert video from 2018. It was a good one. Second set was killer. The terrapin station featured some pretty intense lightning!

I'm gonna make today a special day. 12/6/73 is a very special Dark Star. It is tremendous. In the words of Donald Trump, it was tremendously special. And I'm going to follow that up with 5/19/74 Truckin', which is also tremendously special.
EJ, you are relatively new to US. You an ER doc? What's your relationship with the Dead? Tell us more about yourself.
That Cornell show was definitely a game changer for me, too. Good to virtually meet you! Glad to see that there are others out there!I'm non traditional myself. Like most applied to med school in college and didn't get in, then went on to become an software engineer for a long time. Retook the MCAT at some point, had a much better outcome, and now an attending ER doc. Very happy for the career change. EM in general is more fun than being an engineer but I'm very slowly getting tired of telling people "no I can't help you." LOL
I didn't get into the Dead until 2000. In fact my college roommate was into them, had like 120 cassettes. This was the time when we didn't have iPods and were getting used to having CDs. He would play this stuff all the time and I hated it, I wanted to listen to Iron Maiden instead. But in 2000 or so I was surfing the web and stumbled upon archive.org, and then stumbled upon Cornell in '77, then I remember "I used to like Lazy Lightnin" and fired up Lazy > Supplication and boom, just started listening to more and more and more. Now it's about 95% of what I listen to. I actually still like Maiden and if they ever come around here again and my teenage son(s) want to go, I'll take them. They put on a good show! Very theatrical. I never saw Grateful Dead live though.
I love Maiden. Live After Death is one of my go to albums when I run and wanna get pumped or I’m out of energy and need a lift.I'm non traditional myself.

I love this period of the Dead. Jerry has that electric country/blues vibe but can still flip right into that late 60s acid rock sound, Bob is playing some really thoughtful riffs with that gentle fuzz, Keith would be at home noodling in a bar back in the Old West...and Phil...don't get me started on Phil. Plus, Billy had the freedom to play in a way that he just doesn't with Mickey around. Great show.5/4/72, Paris. Sublime perfection. Listen
Today, mellowing out to 5/6/81, otherwise known as Dick's Picks 13, which has a pretty sweet He's Gone and trailing jam. Pretty tasty Wharf Rat, too. Yum.

EDIT: Even Donna is singing in key. @thegenius - pretty solid Playing in the Band. It's not the monster yet, but you can tell where they were going with it.
I really is sweet. Started listening to it on my morning run, and mellowing out to right now, halfway through Row Jimmy.Listening to that one right now! SO good
Take a moment to appreciate today in 1977, the great 5/8/77 Grateful Dead at Cornell, live at Barton Hall.
Yeah, haha! Me too!@Birdstrike I may have listened to Cornell twice yesterday as well....
I'm staying on tour today with Buffalo 5/9/77. Good stuff.
Lol, i know. Although, I still go back to old Zep sometimes. Rap, not so much.It truly is amazing. It would have been a treat to see them live, and I've got my fingers crossed for a Dead & Co show next summer after this tour was cancelled.
I also wish I would have discovered the Dead sooner, instead of all that time spent listening to rap and Zeppelin...
Yeah, haha! Me too!
Just got back from a long run and got about halfway through 5/9/77, while running. It's good, good stuff. I'm not sure which in this stretch is my favorite. I'm just glad we have this stuff around to listen to. Thank God for recording technology, thank God for the deadheads that recorded the shows and thank God for the Dead, not only for making the music but for being cool enough to let us have access to it all.
It's just amazing.
Amen. I don't often donate to random non-profits, but I actually went to Archive.com and donated. When I thought of how tragic it would be if it were to ever shut down due to lack of funds, I was driven to do so. Their website makes it easy to do, so I sent them some cash. Even so, the amount of free listening I've gotten from that site probably outnumbers what I donated 100-fold.It really is something, isn’t it. Having access to just about every concert played over 30 years. Well over 2000 concerts. Most are very good quality. And it’s free! Thumbs up to that.
Was able to listen to all of this, actually. It’s legit a really awesome show.Although my listening is down today due to Mother's day, I've caught a few minutes to sneak in a bit of a very enjoyable '90s show. Crazy play by both Jerry & Hornsby throughout. Vocals solid as well. Fun show.
