Grateful Dead - Althea (10-14-83)

Althea by the Grateful Dead. Performed on October 14, 1983 at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut. It's from Dick's Picks Volume 6, which is apparently the first show Trey Anastasio ever went to. It's one of my favorites, hope you all like it too!

Anybody who needs to argue about anything relative to the Dead: STFU!!!!!!!!!

@coyote023 I'm not sure I'm getting you. What's not truthful? If you feel Jerry's voice was better during the 80s than it was in the 70s then fine, that's your opinion. If you feel Jerry Garcia's health was not in decline in the mid 80s I'm speechless. If you really feel that way that's fine though I don't know how you could. And you seem to be the one lashing out at myself for being delusional. OK.

@49RonGuidry Well if you want to comment on something don't you think you should have at least a little bit of truth in what you write. Settle down beavis.

[49RonGuidry]

@coyote023 Uh...OK. Sorry I should have ran this by you first for approval. Next time I try to comment on things I know nothing about I'll send it to you first and you can proofread it for accuracy since you obviously have the final say on what transpired throughout Grateful Dead history and what sounds good or bad. I won't let it happen again.

@dmholmes1 Sorry bro but a week before this show we were down in greensboro nc. and then up to richmond va. then we went to hartford and then to the garden and wherever else [kinda burnt to remember all cities] and i will tell you jerry was in no diabetic coma b4 startin this tour. Scarlet>fire>estimated>eyes was a full 60 minutes plus before jerry took off his guitar at this hartford show 10/14/83. The night before this show was fucking great with or without the st. stephen after the drums.

@49RonGuidry Bro' you should really not talk about things you know very,very little about.Maybe you should concentrate more on kermit the frog.

This is my favorite version of Althea. I know there are many good ones but for me personally this is life changing. Jerry is so on point that it is crazy, speaking through the guitar very clearly.
