The full Terrapin Suite is pt 1&2, Lady with a Fan>Terrapin Station.

I think it's about 45ish minutes. Not gonna lie, I'm not the expert on the Suite. I just know the story behind song and that it is the song of inspiration I'm more of a Scarlet Officianado or HOTW>Slipknot>Franklins Tower kinda guy

[thechad90000]

I'll take a nice Slipknot>Franklins anyday. What do you recommend.

I just know that Terrapin makes me want to jump for joy when I hear it and I just don't know what the best one is or where to start with them.

This is your terrapin info

Whole Suite was only played once

[thehammer316]

Franklins Tower is just flat out awesome all the time. I'd look into early 80's. Blues for Allah is my favorite Dead album of ever.

5/8/77 is a classic but I actually agree with Dick and give the nod to 5/22/77

The first Terrapin is pretty legit (2/26/77)

Good show too

I love the 2nd set of SPAC in '83

It kills me that their '81 tour through Europe was so poorly mixed (Weir so low in the mix)

6/30/74 is a great show

[dmblova4eva37]

what are some good 80s shows?

[grace2]

10/15/83 has been a favorite of mine.

Also, I highly suggest you check out the Nightfall of Diamonds release. It was 1988/89 I think? But it is absolutely awesome.

[recentlyJTR41]

I downloaded 10-11-77 Lloyd Noble Center Norman, OK today

It starts off with a nice Help>Slip>Franklin's.



Any good 90's shows?

Here's a great one from 9/24/76.

It was part of the 30 Days of Dead from this past November.

My vote is for that one too. My favorite version (and a great recording too.) That actually might be my favorite Dead show.

Anyone seeing Furhur this summer? They're coming to Alpharetta in July and I really want to go.

Hows the scene at a Furthur show? Shady or cool?

It's always shady man, but it's pretty cool.

[Haiku Jimi]

What does a shady scene entail? I'm not trying to be a smartass. I guess I just don't understand what it means in the context of a Furthur show.

I'm just asking if its real shady and an inviting atmosphere. This is one of the main things I hate about about the "jam band" scene, the lot. I'm not a fan, I don't like being asked a billion times if I want to buy mahl or L. People talk about the "love" when its really just crawling with shady, piece of shit drug dealers trying to not get busted.

I just like parking>going to the show>leaving.

Oh yeah, I can certainly understand that.

I'm sure there are enough legit fans to make it a good enough experience

The scene is fucking awesome. Don't listen to Smudge, I got him twisted on my boomers.

That's why I love you like a brother.

[recentlyJTR41]

Ok guys thanks for all the info. Hopefully I'll be able to go this summer.


Anyone in this thread ever see the Grateful Dead/JGB?

you must be referring to the Disco Biscuits scene

[recentlyJTR41]

No, mainly referring to the jam band scene as a whole. Yes, the Bisco scene is the worst, but Phish lot can be pretty shady too and I am sure Furthur is the exact same, if not worst. Mainly from what I've read on other forums.

I'll just leave this here.

[thehammer316]

Unless you are Mormon or a Priest, the lot scene should be fine. If you hear tanks and don't want any; walk the other way. Just because it's out there doesn't mean you need to partake.

[s0628711]

I'm kinda disappointed they're skipping over PNC Bank Arts Center this summer. I had a blast at my first furthur show there last summer.

Now I'm contemplating MCU Park, but I really down want to have to go all the way to Brooklyn. Holmdel is basically in my backyard.

Holmdel was a great show and I was pleasantly surprised by the venue...

Pretty much, yeah

Its gonna get worse when Furthur hangs it up for good.
