yup bba all the way
I had never heard this before. Interesting combo!
This right here might be the best half hour the band ever played:
So todays question is which Althea is your favorite? Here’s mine:
I had this Althea as a filler, but no date to find it after the tape was shot. The only clue I had was the closing of Stranger. I checked my Deadbase to see which times Stranger preceded Althea and finally narrowed it down to this show after searching on ReListen.
Go go gadget brain!
While searching YouTube for that previous show I found this. 12-3-81 Dane County WI
The Baby Blue is so fucking electric! One of my all time favorites and was surprised to find an actual recording of the show. Wow!
My go-to Althea is a few nights later: 3/14/81 in Hartford. It’s not perfect but it’s really, really good.
this is hard… you know my daughters middle name??
You guys know about Heady Version, right?

6/9/77 winter land …
Blows my mind every time that they opened with this. I would have totally lost all my shit lol
So I checked out the site you recommended and they had my favorite Dark Star listed as #1. The description is the best part:
september '91 boston garden, maybe 9/21 i think, gas althea bruce all over the place, jerry trying to keep up with him
love that jack a roe on 6/8, cool jams for sure, that 3 nights were pretty good
listening to the 7.14.85 Ventura show and it has a nice funky Althea. Jerry has a slick slow phaze effect going on
85 is the shit!
