Grateful Dead

I think Ramble On Rose is the Encore and they just moved it around.. I looked at the Charlie Miller on the Archive for song order. I believe Charlie is pretty diligent and tries to be accurate when creating his re-masters. He put it as the Encore. If anyone knows different.. please feel free to set us straight (bad pun, not intended). ah... muleskinner. 11/8/69 is a powerhouse. How they contained the energy in the second set without exploding and turning to dust is beyond my comprehension. I love that show. The only problem with it is a complete listen can be exhausting. I bet it would benefit from a re-master too..

Where is the set break for 11/17/71? Is Ramble On Rose on disc 2 the encore? This is a wonderful release!

Love the old swanky theaters..one of the best thing about Dylan's Never-Ending Tour is the trend towards old vaudeville theaters and smaller audiences. Some of my favorites: The Paramount in Seattle (1928), The Fox in St. Louis (1929), the Saenger in New Orleans (1927) and the Palace in Louisville (1928). Of course, for every of those shows there's one in Assembly Hall or the Richmond Coliseum but the theaters are where it's at. For an additional arbitrary topic, I am having a tough time deciding between my favorite Dave's Pick. 11/4/77 is just beating out 2/24/74, and I think I'm comfortable with the decision. Hopefully get the new one tonight. Been into Dick's Picks 11/8/69, as well as the RSD 2/27/69, to pass the time. I had never heard the Main Ten jam, that is quite funky. Dark Star > TOO > Dark Star > UJB Jam > Dark Star > St. Stephen > The Eleven > Caution > Main Ten > Caution > Feedback > Bid You Goodnight. Oh and a 23 minute Lovelight after that. Seriously, releasing anything after that point has just been gravy.

Also very cool.Saw Furthur there in 2011 https://goo.gl/images/ZkbD1U

Saw Santana there early-90’s Here’s my attempt to post a pic. Doesn’t seem to work, you’ll have to click the link. https://goo.gl/images/p9i4DC

What a great phrase!

State Theatre, Kalamazoo, MISaw Blues Traveler there in spring 92, and Phish in December, 92. https://www.kazoostate.com/about/gallery/ It’s walking distance to Bell’s Brewery Eccentric Cafe (the original brewery location). Might As Well make a beer pilgrimage and catch a show. Actually, I noticed that Chris Robinson Brotherhood will be playing at Bell’s in August.

My guesses for next Dave's Picks are 76, 79, 80 or 81. Just because.

I bet you're right, dropping Ramble On Rose makes sense especially if they were pressed for space and dropping it seems to make it all work out. I had a hell of time re-working the song order for 12/14 and correcting the metadata though.. it's easy to make a mistake doing that and screw something up. Still.. if they had decided to include it, they would have probably spliced in some content from another soundboard not an audience. They weren't missing any of the jam, just the part with lyrics and I bet they could have put something together that sounded ok. Back to the covers on the bonus disc issues.. clearly this was not always the case, they used to put covers on the bonus disc with reckless abandonment up until the end of the Road Trips series. So something changed. Either some astute attorney noticed something that seemed in violation of the law or more likely someone didn't like the way they were paid (or not paid) for a cover on a bonus disc and sought corrective action. Interesting.. but they could include them if they wanted to and figure out accurate payment. My guess is since these are numbered, limited edition releases.. it would be easy for someone to day hey.. You included Promised Land on a release where 18,500 were produced so you should have paid us $x. Interesting.. it's also interesting to note that since Dave's Picks started they almost never include covers on the Bonus Discs (I found just two).

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the one missing track form 12/14/71 is Ramble on Rose, which is massively cut (missing intro - prob spaced turning on reel-to-reel to start set 2?). Will they release the bit they have in the November downloads? I doubt it since starting with an audience patch is not as good as having the patch in the middle or toward the end. The Ramble On Rose cut is probably the reason this show is a bonus-disc-release....
