Just sw dark star orchestra (2/28/03) at the Fillmore in SF and they did this show. Astonishing that anyone could so perfectly present a show of the dead at their best (the voices, which are eerily similar, have the added benefit of being consistently in key). What a song list, whatta show

Just got this show and man is it great. the tone is very mellow and all the songs a played very well. MHS starts out and every note from the beginning to the end is perfect. Row jimmy is one of the best i have heard.Grate stand alone scarlet. Tenn. is very nice and Music closes the set with fire and passion and ready for the second set. Might as well is one of my favs and this one is top 5. LIG->Drumz->LIG is thick and tasty. The jam out of Wharf Rat is really nice. TOO->Stephen->NFA->Stephen->wheel->TOO->Stella. Are u insane? a complete mind melt. ;^) get this show please. You wont regret it.

Bradley Scroggs- Yes, this was broadcast as a King Biscuit Flower Hour.

Great show, too many highlights to mention, but I'll mention one anyway... Jerry's second solo in Stella Blue is exquisite, perfect. Miss you, Jerry!

This is my favorite show. There's just something very, very special going on here. EVERY SINGLE SONG SPARKLES. The 83 minute sequence beginning with LL>Supp and ending with one of the finest Stella Blue's is beyond description. This is one of those Jehova's favorite choir shows . . . Look for a new remaster of the circulating soundboard in March 2008!

This was one of the first tapes I ever got. I had the circulating FM version that runs from Lazy Lightning through Sugar Mag. I can honestly say this show changed my life. For me this will always be the standard against which all live Dead is measured. There's just something so profoundly silky and soothing about the sound of this performance. It sounds quintessentially mid 70's to me. Mellow and laid back, yet funky and driving. Achingly beautiful and graceful and mysterious and dream-like the way it twists and winds through the second set. It's like the auditory version of an opium den. I didn't know it at the time but part of what I fell in love with was the sound of that Travis Bean guitar Jerry was playing, I can spot that sound a mile away now. If you put a gun to my head and made me decide, I'd say this is my favorite show of them all. The memories of so many smoke filled, blotter-aided, college nights hanging out and shooting pool in my house with my college buddies as we were just truly discovering what the Dead were about will be with me until my dying day. To me this is perfection.

I see the option to stream this show but
It will not let me download this or any soundboards....how do I download this sbd ?
-Jody (07/21/2015)


You can't "download" sbds from archives. Bob Weir supposedly sued archives and the settlement agreement reached was that you can download AUDs, but not SBDs. If you wanna grab any SBD off archives and you have a mac with garage band or logic (or ProTools, but that program is expensive), put an aux cable to a set of speakers that have an output thats either USB or firewire and plug it back into your computer. Then, stream the show through iTunes (this is for fluidity, Archives has long breaks switching from track to track, but iTunes buffers the next track while your playing it) and set up a track to record the input coming through the usb or firewire in the Garage Band session. You'll have to listen to the whole show while you do this (gasp, a whole show?!?!?!) but you'll have the entire show on a garage band file. Then you can break up each track as you like and export them as mp3s, or just export the whole show in one mp3 and put it on your iPod for long journeys.

Hope this helps. Bye now!

Came back from a weekend at Russian River to go to the show. Invited my friend Tim to use my extra ticket. He had no interest in the Dead then and likely never has or will...what do you expect, we were 15...him, 14. Guess I was looking for someone deserving, and the usual suspects were on my bad side, or busy...We went to the restroom to sneeze during the intermission. Such were 15 years old in SF back in the day, or at least this 15 year old. We had a Nicaraguan smuggling cadre next store to our house...Dead was not my band...My friends were deadies but I was a Led, Starship, Stones, Eagles type. still have my ticket stub. I do remember "Might as Well," and remember my sister's friend egging on additional encores after the lights went on. John Bee, in case you want specifics. Anyway, I did have the tape from King Biscuit but recall it fell apart at some point when I went on Summer vacation to San Antonio. I remember throwing it after it unspooled. Relatedly I used to travel with a shoebox size cassette player, battery driven, and would listen to my bands that way. Not an I pod but boy did it work. I used to hook up a microphone and do pretend play by play. In fact, as taping goes, I have located a 1972 KFRC (huge SF AM powerhouse of the 1960s and 1970s) tape that I recorded via microphone, front and back. I speak over the music briefly. for the record, among the songs are Popcorn by Hot Butter, From the Beginning ELP, Still A Young Man (tower of power), etc.
Thanks for reading (it is a slow hour at work). Oh, I got on the bus at the Bill Graham memorial. See that write up (Nov 1991 GGP) if you can tolerate any more ponderings

SBD is so crispy. Has been one of my top ten favorite shows for over twenty five years. Just listened to it for the first time in many moons and had my mind blown all over again.
