Musings on the Most Ridiculous Band I Can't Stop Listening To

Sweet Child Of Shrine

And for those of you who don’t care much for the current state of affairs, there’s always 1/11/78 from the Shrine in Los Angeles. This show has been recommended by Mr. Completely and described as “very 1978,” so take that as a caveat or entreaty.

Garcia’s just over the laryngitis that turned the previous few shows into Bobby-and-Donna fests and he’s scratchy but killing it on the guitar. Worth a spin.

    If Mr.Completely recommends it I’m sure it’s a great show.

      it’s a good show with some great moments, particularly in the Garcia Shreds area, and some off kilter ones, which is what I mean by “very 1978”. Mostly notable for one of the last classic era St. Stephens I guess

        The great moments are always worth the wait. Thanks

    Also worth checking out 1/18/78 – underrated and a patchy recording, but a truly weird Playin and strange placement for Estimated.
