Grateful Dead

i really want to listen to this. but I already told myself if I finally had all of the Post Spring 90 brent shows in my collection id listen to them in order with no breaks inbetween

I had two of my records with the hole off center and the holes weren't actually big enough for them to drop down onto my turntable. My turntable I s a forty year old Bose 360 and never has this happened before. Customer service at Brookvale records was great and they sent me two new ones and they also had the hole too small, I took a drill bit and just holding it my hand I made the hole bigger.Don't post much, thanks for the entertainment everyone. Love this latest Daves pick. Would love that Ark box set to become a reality next....Peace

the late 93 shows still have plenty of gems. i actually want some of the December shows to be released. particularly 12/10/93 that has Branford on it throughout barring Corrina.

i subscribed the night the subs were announced and the subs were cut off a few days before Christmas eve so that's how I know the numbers don't mean anything besides that my copy is enchanted and holds magical powers

If the disc is not centered.. it will indeed degrade over time. I can speak from experience on this one.. I know needles and turntables have improved but one of my once great sounding LP's became so worn and damaged the needle would build up momentum and skip right over the grove into the next one over when the circle shifted creating constant skips. It was completely unlistenable. I would send it back while you still can.... oh.. Terp Moon.. you got the lottery equivalent of the Kiss of Death. Expect box cut CDs from now on if they are delivered at all. Don't worry though.. it's not nearly as bad as the fate that awaits Bolo. It sounds like he was auto-stalked by La Corporacion, Cuba's leading crime family. They have this technology where they monitor what you are listening to and replicate with a few second delay while incorporating subliminal, psychotic sonic messages similar to what our Ambassadors, State Department Officials and Delegates were exposed to over the last 18 months in Cuba. It's only a matter of time until he's completely insane and likely dangerous able to seek work only at gas stations and quickie marts. Good luck Bolo.. try and keep the posts coming as long as you can... You will be missed. A lesson to you all, don't piss off the Cuban Mob.

OK, that IS pretty cool. I guess if I saw two copies on Ebay and one was 18,000 and the other was 13,297 I might pay an extra $5 for the 18k...... But I'd feel ridiculous for doing it.

Terrapin Moon - just curious - did your copy include the bonus disc? Always wondered if the subscription was from the beginning of the lot or end of the lot... I know numbers don't mean much once you open the shrinkwrap, but always fun wondering what number I get and if there's any special number that matches the show. Lowest number was 75 (DaP12), highest was 16173 (DaP20). Got the Harpur vinyl today. Noticed Side A appears to be not centered, but Side B is not as pronounced. Anyone else notice this? Will this affect audio quality over time? Increase wear on needle? Should I return? Sounds awesome though - only on the acoustic part...

I know it doesn't meant anything. but mine was # 18,000. all it means was I got the last one to be printed.

Both versions of The Other One are worth the price alone. This is a seriously great release. Uploaded this to my hard drive and it was cool to see how well represented fall 71 is between (by my count): 2 Oct shows (dave's picks 3, dick's picks 2), 2 Nov Shows (Road Trips 3.2, dave's 26) and Dec (dave's 23 + bonus & dave's 26 bonus)....I might be forgetting some but that's a cool list, especially when there are nice soundboards floating around of other great fall 71 shows to fill in the gaps, including 10/19, 11/7, 12/5, 12/15, etc....good times.

1971 had been under-represented in this series until suddenly 4 of the last 7 shows from Dave are 1971. These are GREAT releases and I'm glad we got 1971 caught up. Now with 5 (!) 1971 shows under or belts in the DaP series (more than any other year) I'm ready to dust off some more '73, '69 and a decent 80's show. Also, I was struck by the idea, as I was driving today, that these tapes were in someones closet and presumed gone. What if they never came back? What if the never bothered to record this stuff? There were a LOT of actions by a lot of people that finally resulted in us sliding this into our CD players. Man, if those tapes could talk I'd love to know the story of their past 47 years....
