Oh god... Even I didn't go further than Dick's Picks.

You are a lost man!

(Isn't "rabbit hole" more Jefferson Airplane than Dead?)

@Thad E Ginathom You're right, I should have said I'm fully on the bus! I've got Dave's Picks, Dick's Picks, One From The Vault, Two From The Vault, now I'm downloading audience and soundboard recordings from shows not officially released yet.

"I should have said I'm fully on the bus!" Epic!

I have Dave's, Dick's, Vault, etc on CD --- and copied to the computer. No, I have not listened to them all. Might do, one day...

I think One From The Vault is the best live electric Dead show I’ve ever heard. They are ON that night.

Make sure you have the album Reckoning to hear them play live acoustic at their best with great SQ too

@rhythmdevils I actually was gifted a bounty of GD recordings from a friend, all digital, and Reckoning was among them, along with several 1970 shows that all had an acoustic set. The audience recording I listened to was also a 1970 show with an acoustic set, I love how GD sound acoustic and electric!

Also I got a vintage vinyl copy of Workingman's Dead that has got to be one of the best sounding records I own.

Here’s a nice Dead-adjacent palette cleanser when you need one: Bob Weir on NPR Tiny Desk https://youtu.be/4l_gUwdPrNY

I've dipped into NPR Tin Desk stuff occasionally, and always found amazing experiences. Didn't know Bob Weir did one. I really like the edge, the sense of urgency, in his voice.

Something made me want to watch an early live performance of St Stephen. I found this. Bonus: Mountains Of The Moon, which was my last song before bed, most days, for a year or two :)

Thanks for reminding me of The Dead Magic!
