Featuring one of the Most-Creative! Grateful Dead' Segue-Transitions' of All-Time! Close Encounters Of The Third Kind!!!

Indoors at the Very-Proud Home! Of the Mighty Oregon Fighting Ducks!! Ahhhhh, well - I guess my life is now... Sure wasn't expecting This!

My spine is tingling just even' thinking' about this-one, and I haven't even listened to it recently either - at least over the last few... As I'll betcha my own' personal-count tally' on This-Show!

I haven't been able to' properly-describe' This-Show for like 30-years now - and should I even try?? Dang, I just don't know.

A completely-intimidating task, for all those who are already well " in the know " on This! So, Is This " The Best " Dead Show Ever? Does this Show offer " The Best " Garcia Axe work of All-Time?

Hmmm, a bit of a dicey-start? Is this " The Best " Dead Show from 1978? Does this Show offer one of the Hottest!!!

Is there any better-place to see The Grateful Dead' Live' on Planet Earth - other than... Is this my own personal-favorite Dead Show of All-Time? But with all-seriousness (well, you know - as much as I'm actually capable of) --- This-Show!!! " It " single-handedly derailed my Entire Life well, you know.' derailed' meant in a' Grate-Way' - Ha!

And, I'm not kidding at all on this either - not-a-bit... The 90 Minute Analog Cassette Tape Maxell XL-II S!

I acquired way-back in the'80's - of this 1/22/78 Mac Court! It Forever-Changed My Life ahhh, yes. Or, to be a little bit more-specific here. " was actually how I picked - " My College! That, and of course " Animal House "! A " True-Story ", and I'm most-definitely sure you'll also remember The-Shirt quite well --- " COLLEGE ". I used to go to Duck Hoops Games even when they stunk!

- just-so I could' Look' at where Garcia did " It ". I used to even play hoops in there The Pit! - just so I could go & stand right-where Jerry did It. Hell, I used to even go &' clean-up' Mac Court after Ducks Hoops Games with the Oregon Ducks Lax Team - just so I could sit in all of the different levels & seats looking-on from the various / different glorious!

Just so I could admire time & time again where Jerry Did It! I even found a bag of dank in one of the aisles one time under a seat, after a game - I mean... I even went & saw Bob Dylan in there in the'90's (a few-times.

), so I could closely hear exactly what the acoustics were like inside The Pit!!! - when Jerry did It. And, by " It " - you know, or will know real-soon just exactly what I'm talking about.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND!!! And, trust me I know' all-of-them' quite-well very-well Studied... Delivered with better timing & tempos? Are any of these others my own personal " All-Time " Dead Favorite? Not to down any of them as if I would even think about doing that...

But, here it is like 40-years later after Garcia " Bestowed " This-One! And I'm sitting here writing about it intensely & even a tad bit frustrated (40-years later) that I'm not even' nearly' achieving the Rightful-Justice! I could spend a whole lifetime trying and actually, I kinda have?? - and I still could-not do it near-justice. There has never been a more' Creative' Guitar Player on Earth than Jerry Garcia.

And 1/22/78 Mac Court is just yet' another' pinnacle-example of how he once again widens the gap, leaves the rest behind - and, for lack of a more " PC " way to say it? Basically makes the rest of them eat his dust well, you know... I drove 3,000 miles once to just' look' at Mac Court once - to live by it & play in it - and on that drive. My buddy & I R. Just casually referred to Garcia as " The King Of Rock & Roll ".

You know - something like... Let's listen to some Early-'80's King Of Rock & Roll next... I even went to Mac Court one time just to see the very-last Ducks vs. UCLA Game inside The Pit! Just so I could once again...

" look-right-it " where Jerry did It. And I was quite pleased to even see Bill Walton in there too! He was probably' really' just doing the exact same thing I was Laser-Focus >>> Mac Court'78!

- but, with the one big difference being that he also went to see the' Real-Thing'. Eugene Sunday - back in'78!!

I guess I've still got a lot of catching up to do? There's nothing left to catch-up-to anymore?

So, I just simply said to Bill - Hey Bill - I haven't seen you since'93 at Shoreline! " - as he stands there as " Honorary Game Captain in his Vintage U. And then replies So, Where've You Been? I just couldn't resist it. What's Your Favorite Dead Song? You know, just a couple of Deadheads standing around On!

Mac Court like 30-years later, just about a' Half-Court' away. From yep, you guessed it - Right-Where!

A " Dave's Picks " that can't & won't be topped - Ever! - at least to me & my humble Dead Fan ears.

Oh, and too - I almost forgot to add... My favorite Ornament on my Christmas Tree is indeed - my Mac Court!

Can you actually believe it?? Recorded' Live' at the Very-Proud! Home of the Mighty Oregon Fightning Ducks!!
