Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

....is a must have. It's basically my second bible.

icky. or as somebody said a few days ago, "ewwwww." my opinion, nothing more.

Now THAT is tempting...I didn't realize it was still in print. Maybe it was a different / older Dead Base version I heard was out of print? In any case, I've never seen one of these or looked too closely at the content covered. On the one hand it may be time; on the other hand, I still haven't finished the book that came with 30 Trips, or even started the Cornell box set book. And I didn't finish Dennis McNally's Long Strange Trip book. It's a time thing. But this here Dead Base book looks more like a reference utility, so I may just convince myself....

Hey Dark-Star, thank you for the lead in for that DaP 5 on ebay. I just went on there, found it, and hopefully I will end up with it at the auctions end. I know it's a great show and if I already have 11/17/71, 11/17/72, then I have to have 11/17/73 in my collection. It will complete my birthday show run. Thanks!

Like most, I was temporally disappointed that we had to do our own configuring for the 12/14/71 show with bonus. Dave so eloquently explained to all, and it does make sense (or cents). Like Thin, the 71' Austin RT's is one of my all time faves. A true rocker. As Dave reports, Albuquerque seems to be in the same greasy vein. Deadbase has a good write-up of the 12/15/71 Ann Arbor show. ( Check it out) SpaceBro alerted me (us) to the show, and it does appear to be quite excellent. (Heavy on the Pig slop!) Dave just might think 12/15 is a superior show to 12/14, but is able to give us 12/14 in chop suey fashion. Maybe 12/15 will be a future Dave's Picks; (if the master has also come home) possibly, as early as next year. Then we will (would) have a great accompaniment to 12/14. Again, thank you Dave and all the rest. What wonderful music keeps coming our way. Maybe big box news in the next few weeks? Great to be a Dead Head!!!! Sam T

Thanks Terrapin Moon! I love that song. Really liked it since the only time I saw it played live at Cal Expo. Suits Phil's voice perfectly!

why? the song is fuckin awesome that's why. I'm sorry 12/9/93 was the last time it was played.

why?

I see the Who won't die here, and Patagonian Fox made some album rankings. Got me thinking about Who Are You. This record continues to be one of my favorites. Quadrophenia is my all time favorite, and pretty much has been since I got it for Christmas in 1984. Who Are You is my second favorite; I like it better than Who's Next as a whole, but I know Who's Next is a better representation of the band (and Baba O'Riley is in fact, my favorite song ever, by anyone). But with regard to Who Are You, I don't care much for Love Is Coming Down, but the rest of it is fantastic, and to me, sounds much more like the next step in evolution from Quadrophenia (more so than The Who By Numbers, due in part to the synths). All this, despite the fact that things are very clearly not well with Moon. It's also the last outstanding record for Daltrey as a vocalist (he was merely great on the succeeding records). And now for something completely unrelated - I'm not familiar with the Deadbase book - does it contain set lists? If so, can someone post the set list from 8/24/71? Wikipedia says that DP 35 does not contain the entire show from this date at the Auditorium Theatre; however, I've come across several set lists that indicate DP 35 is all there was, and that it was played in the order presented on DP 35. I also came across a site that list this as the set list - note the order is much different than the DP 35 presentation: Set 1: Big Railroad Blues Playin' In The Band Mr. Charlie Sugaree El Paso Next Time You See Me Bertha Me And Bobby McGee Set 2: Big Boss Man Loser Bird Song Cryptical Envelopment Drums The Other One Me And My Uncle The Other One Wharf Rat Cold Rain And Snow Deal Brokedown Palace Empty Pages Brown-Eyed Women Good Lovin' If there is an official source with the set list, I'd love to know which is correct.
