Grateful Dead

We have 61 so far, including Elvis himself, who was escorted by an even more difficult to find man - Bolo. We can get a least 100. We've only been at it a little over 24 hours. If you don't know the drill, we're GOING to get our group name (whatever that turns out to be) associated with the release of our requested 6/9 and 6/10, 1973 RFK mini-box. Click here and post a comment with the subject RELEASE and the commment I Will Buy It (or something more creative). When we have a solid showing I will reach out to DL and Mark Pinkus and hold them at Bear-Point, demanding the release itself, as well as our due reckoning on the Seaside Chat and the liner notes. PM me with any suggestions on our "group name" - something that we can have Dave refer to as when he introduces the new release. You do NOT want to leave this to me, because I've been coming with lame stuff like Deadnet's Dark Stars and The Slipknot Gang. Click here to vote for RFK '73: http://www.dead.net/show/june-10-1973

....saying goodbye to your best friend is one of the most emotional events of my life. I never though i could make the sobbing/moaning noises i did when i had to say goodbye to mine a couple of years ago. You want to see a "tough as nails" guy have a breakdown?

Think: Karma

Your strategy worked for me-I didn't hear it arrive, but I've just noticed it lying on the door mat. Hope yours has arrived too!

Justly famous Dancin'... Double solo'd unicorn Scarlet Begonias, strong pre-drums kick. Plush Stanley and powerful playing of both nights fueled EVEN MORE road lust in me for years.

I recommend 11/1/79 for your listening pleasure.

Awhile ago I posted about how Mrs Deadguy and I had to say goodbye to our dog recently, and told the story of how "Born to Run" came to be his theme song. LOTS of folks here sent me well-wishes and condolences, and pictures and stories about their dogs, and whatnot, and it was all great. Thanks to all of you.

Thank you for trying to bring back some sanity to this place. Good Lord, its been like the worst season ever of The Real World on these pages. "What happens when 80s Grateful dead fans mix with 70s Grateful Dead fans, on an anonymous internet forum?" DaP 25 is a "bit" of a let down, I have to agree. Love the first set, its tight, and crisp. I've come to really like the tune "Passenger", for whatever reason. I find it an unheralded gem of their repertoire, a good upbeat rocker that fills the same role as the cowboy tunes in a set. I think it shows the best of Donna. Second set is kinda meh, when judged by the sky high standards of this band. This was the last show of the tour, right(?), maybe they were running out of gas, or running out of . . . sumthin'. I know that the occasional vocal flub is a time-honored tradition that often makes me chuckle and adds some levity to a set. But that Scarlet/Fire . . . woof. Its like they were all on different wavelengths, and no one was sure what to do next. The Disc 3 sequence to close everything out is solid though. Dissident -- I saw your blurb about 2-2-70. SWEET! I too have been delving into that winter 1970 run. I started with the Oregon shows from 1-16,17,18, then the two Hawaii shows, and I'm up to 1-31 just about to get busted on Bourbon Street. Just can't get enough Pig wailing away on Hard to Handle. My plan is to follow this all the way through to the Fillmore East on 2/14, which at my current rate will probably take me until 3/14. Speaking of releases I'm clamoring for, if they would just box up every note from the Fillmore East between 2-11 and 2-14 of 1970, Dead and Allmans sets included, I would take a second mortgage to get one for myself, and one for Spacebro :) :):) (Just a couple more smileys so Spacebro knows I'm not trying to stir the pot.) :) :) :) peace

Well, last time I posted a similar query the postman turned up within five minutes bearing gifts, so here's hoping :)

I was sorry to read things had been so difficult for you recently. Lets hope this year is a good one. For everyone.
