Yes, I’m just waiting on the bus, and feeling the blues...

Excited that we're getting another box this year but just bc GSTL was released in the spring doesn't mean the next one will be too (right??) They still have inventory from two of the last three boxes (78 and 89) sitting on the shelf. To me it would seem odd to release a box that will push those two further down the priority list but then again maybe they don't mind. Regardless it should be fun when it comes out...really hoping for something from 68-69, though a June 76 would hit the spot as well.

Has to be a reference to bobby's pink guitar; by gosh it's an 80's box set!

....Lemieux told Billboard he likes the plan, “It gives us some rare ­structure. We know for sure that every year we’re ­going to release four Dave’s Picks, which are the ­three-CD ­complete live shows, ­quarterly. We know we’re going to do one big box set each year, whether that’s an eight-CD set or an 11-CD set, like the one we have ­coming up. This gives us one other big thing to focus on every year.”....

...I posted a quote by David about the structure of the Grateful Dead releases for a one year period. I forgot to include the link, sorry folks. :) https://www.jambase.com/article/grateful-dead-lays-plan-next-22-years-a…

[listen up on dead of the day and load down from midnight cafe] Dead of the Day: March 30, 1968 http://gratefuldeadoftheday.com/03-30-1968 Carousel Ballroom San Francisco, California The show opens with a monstrous Morning Dew that has the boys starting off with a heavy jam that suddenly takes flight and soars with Jerry and Phil leading the way. The Other One that follows is grinding and chunky, in the best way possible, throwing off little nuggets of tastiness. Then the Dark Star goes off ambling and noodling along, sending out pings of reserved, but ever so pure, bliss into the ether, in search of something. In the mellow ending, the band seems to find what they were looking for as China Cat bursts onto the scene, spinning off psychedelic pinwheels and starbursts, dripping with Technicolor and lorded over by Jerry’s guitar and vocals. The Eleven goes off to worlds unknown, driving headlong into the farthest reaches of the universe. That last jam in the tune is so perfect it could go on forever leaving the heads dancing in the aisles, but the band transitions rather abruptly into a full-on ripping Lovelight. Coming next, Born Cross Eyed is a revelation as the Dead’s own beat boxing vocals intermix with an incredibly driving jam. Then the Spanish Jam comes out, languid and beatific before a clipped Death Don’t Have No Mercy ends the night.
