Grateful Dead

Strider 88First of all, as many others have stated, thank you Dave/Rhino/any anyone else involved in the decision to release 3/29 separately. Many, many of us are very appreciative. How ironic. The very person who desperately clamored for this release, cannot even afford to purchase it. Believe me, I struggled long and hard with whether or not to purchase this release for space (a fellow head I am told), despite all the vitriol direct at myself and other "early Dead" fans. A box set that I will not even purchase myself. I have a few suggestions: 1) Let the "Foxy economic savant" make the purchase for his fellow 90s buddy, as strider 88 suggests. 2) Contact Dan Gilbert to see if he is willing to help out. Dan, space, pfox and a few others on this board, all seem respond in the same manner when they don't get their way. 3) Kickstarter.com. Kickstarter is the world's largest funding platform for creative projects. Clearly the Grateful Dead in the spring of 1990 were creative. 4) I am willing to fund a portion of the box set purchase. However, I refuse to spend more than I did myself, the 3/29 show alone. All you need is ten other folks to do the same and you have your precious box set. Mr. Jack Straw, dantian, and others, you should all help out. Space, contact whoever you need in order to figure out how to get this done. Good luck and please keep us posted. I sincerely hope you obtain this release. AJS Mr. Jack Straw. Unfortunately the page you hoped to reference supporting your case against Frank was deleted. This one was still up on the site. Page 31. Frank, as for the anwer to your question, "Why would I hand over a single dime to somebody I've never met, who for years has been spiteful, rude and mean to me?" I did.

....I've been guilty of it. And have been on the receiving end as well. My excuse is alcohol. Makes my mouth bigger, and usually not in a good way. And for that, I apologise, if that counts for anything. I look back on some posts I sent the following day after I've sobered up and think "did someone hack my account and text that dribble? No Vince. It was you." Dammit!!

Love “ most “ all of it and try to give each lineup a fair shake. Mainly listen to 71-78. But just gave MSG Road Trips a good dusting off... wow. If I pinned myself to one lineup or era I might have missed this one; and it’s a dandy!. That jam out of Let It Grow with Jerry and Bruce is probably the closest Garcia ever came to reliving the Nicky Hopkins sound from 75. Its only about 4 minutes but total bliss.!Phils bass is way up front in the mix and he is killing it.!That roar for Brent at the beginnings of Know You Rider gives me chills every time. Long story short: dgaf what your favorites are; but do yourself a favor and keep an open mind. You never know what might just surprise ya. “Believe it if you need it or leave it if you dare”

"The recent post above, with all of those choice '73 Summer shows, now THAT should be a box. The full run. Slap a $500 price tag on it and see how the '70's only crowd reacts to that." 1- Yes it should be a box! 2- I'd gladly pay 500$ But I'm curious....are we talking about shows or money?? I love it when people talk about great shows (these are), I hate it when people talk about money. I don't go to a restaurant and complain that I can't afford to eat there. I don't go to a Porsche dealer and tell customers who are buying one that I can't afford one. Again, I love to talk about the music.......especially 72-74 (the best imo). But I hate all this talk about price and money.

"Blues for Allah" was the first Dead album I ever purchased (only because I was 12 and the artwork was cool). It's still my favorite studio album, and the one I listen to most as well.

is just so so good ... the Dark Star, good lord ... what I wouldn't give for all the 1971 we've got, and will get, to be magically transformed into 1970 instead ... Next 2 Dave's picks should be something, anything from Fall 1970 (short of that, just any 1970) ... and something to fill the 1973 gap between 4 2 73 and 10 19 73.

but when I do, it often is Blues for Allah. Anthem Blues Aoxomoxoa

Appreciation month.

You have conveniently ignored the OTHER people on this message board who you have instigated problems with, in the way of personal attacks. I see no response from you to Butch's post yesterday, which I will re-post. Don't pretend you don't attack people personally for not sharing your viewpoints. Butch had no dealings with you prior to your personal attack against him, and of course the other post that is quoted here, is of you calling out EVERYBODY who doesn't agree with your assessment of RFK '89. You should acknowledge you were wrong here, and man-up with a commitment to treat people better. Quote from you to Butch: "This Wharf Rat rocks and the vocals are excellent. Tinnitus perhaps?....or you just hate Brent?" Quote from you to the rest: "If so-called fans listen to that Let It Grow from the Listening Party, and still pass on this, they might as well quit listening to the Dead all together and sell or trade their collections for Kid Rock albums. That's about as lame as they are." Be a man and own up to your words. And don't ever paint yourself as someone who does not attack others who have never said an ill word toward you.
