Robert Hunter & Comfort

Robert Hunter and Comfort Opened for the Jerry Garcia Band.

Click on the picture below for the concert

Robert Hunter performed and recorded with the band Comfort for about a year, from mid-1977 to mid-1978. In particular he wrote a lengthy suite of songs called “Alligator Moon” which is well worth listening to for any Hunter fan. Hunter was unhappy with his studio version of the suite, so the album was never released.
Circulating live versions of the suite are excellent—it’s a shame they never saw an official release.
A few Hunter/Comfort studio recordings were released on the album Promontory Rider.

March 18, 1978 Warner Theater, Washington, DC (early and late show)
Jerry Garcia Band/Robert Hunter and Comfort
A tape of a Comfort set from an WHFS-fm broadcast has surfaced. I assume that the Comfort set was broadcast along with the JGB show. It does beg the very interesting question of who paid for it (for a band to play live on commercial FM radio, the record company had to pick up the lost advertising costs).

More records for sale

The ‘Grateful Dead Collector’s Shop NL‘ is on its way now.

I’ve posted quite a few Books, Comics , Cards and Tickets for sale now. And i am beginning with the vinyl and compact discs. The prices are based on the regular Discogs price, and on the eBay prices. The quality of the vinyl/disc and of the cover/inlay is also an influence on the price, as is the availability of the item.
For being a (former) collector myself i try to grade the items conservatively so not to disappoint the buyers/collectors. A result of that conservative grading is that i still have an 100 % positive grading on the discogs site.

This site with all Grateful Dead items has no grading option but rest asure. I will try to do my upmost best to keep the customers satisfied! The records were always stored vertically in a smoke-free room.
Every item has it’s own photo’s and I try to collect additional info from the internet.
Coming weeks this site will be updated with new items.
In the meantime, here’s a video I once made for YouTube.

Happy Collecting !
