    The unexpected return of the masters of the Grateful Dead's triumphant show at the Albuquerque Civic Auditorium, November 17, 1971, yields great rewards. The Dead came in HOT for their first New Mexico show. Aided by clarity and precision and abetted by confidence and focus, they finessed old standards with definitive takes. With Keith now blending in seamlessly on keys, the first set offered up a triple shot of electric Blues, an exceptional "You Win Again," and a stellar "One More Saturday Night" to wrap things up. And the second set, well, it might just be unlike any you've ever heard. Archivist David Lemieux urges you to turn it up and do it loudly. We won't dare spoil all the surprises, but pay special attention to the rippin' "Sugar Magnolia," the aggressively monstrous "The Other One," and the highly-danceable "Not Fade>GDTRFB>Not Fade." Rounding out the 3CDs, you'll find selections from Pigpen's return tour at Ann Arbor, MI, 12/14/71. Subscribers will get nearly all of the complete show as this year's bonus disc.

    As always, Dave's Picks Volume 26 has been mastered to HDCD specs from the original analog tapes by Jeffrey Norman and is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    *Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    1979 jams
    I am not sure why 1979 has been overlooked-all the released shows I have, together with their various extras have been great. Maybe all the others were rubbish! Shouldn't think so. 27th October was also a highlight of 30 Trips, too. I like the jams from this year. Maybe because Brent was new, he and the band hadn't quite figured out what direction the jams should go in. This shows, I think, in the playing. The best ones sound as though they could go anywhere-a good example of the music playing the band. They sound a bit out of control-but in a good way. I liked Brent's use of synthesizer during these late 79 shows, too. In fact, they are my favourite shows with him in the band. If there isn't enough for a good box set, maybe a show form this year would make a good Dave's Picks.

    1979 - Dave Rock
    A quick scan showed you were most correct regarding bonus material from RT 3.1 - when I was looking thru my Dead catalogue to see when the last release was, DP5 was the leader until I remembered the RT series came later. Thanks for the correction.While I wouldn't mind a '79 box, I find it odd that it's almost 10 years (discounting the download series) since there's been a '79 release. Granted, there might not be enough quality shows for a box set due to the absence of master tapes or sub-par performances, since Brent was new to the band. In any case the announcement should come soon. Edit: '79 download would have been #14 I believe.

    The latest cover is nicely executed, but does not reflect the look and feel of the time period the original came out of. The Ripple artwork looks expecially morbid to me, not what the song is about. The skeleton theme is way overdone by now, my opinion of course!Other side kinda' reminds me of the first Madness LP :-)

    Seems the comments are dead in the 45 section. Don't know how many bought the 45 collections, but the latest cover art was very nice. I'd post, but don't know how. Some will be sad, it had skeletons (but no beards!).

    1979 -Dave
    I'd be happy with a box from 1979. I'd prefer 1969 - but I have enjoyed all the 1979 shows that have been officially released, and would welcome more from this year. One thing, I noticed about your post, though, Dave. I have just had a check, and the Road Trips that featured 28th December had excerpts from 30th December 1979 on the bonus disc-not the 26th. The 26th was Dicks Picks 5. The only official I haven't got is the one that was released on vinyl as a Record Store Day release. I forget which one it was. I have been very tempted, as I have been buying up other Dead releases on vinyl this year-and have loved them all. But that one from 1979 seems to be a bit lacklustre from what everyone says. In fact I don't think I've read a single positive review.

The unexpected return of the masters of the Grateful Dead's triumphant show at the Albuquerque Civic Auditorium, November 17, 1971, yields great rewards. The Dead came in HOT for their first New Mexico show. Aided by clarity and precision and abetted by confidence and focus, they finessed old standards with definitive takes. With Keith now blending in seamlessly on keys, the first set offered up a triple shot of electric Blues, an exceptional "You Win Again," and a stellar "One More Saturday Night" to wrap things up. And the second set, well, it might just be unlike any you've ever heard. Archivist David Lemieux urges you to turn it up and do it loudly. We won't dare spoil all the surprises, but pay special attention to the rippin' "Sugar Magnolia," the aggressively monstrous "The Other One," and the highly-danceable "Not Fade>GDTRFB>Not Fade." Rounding out the 3CDs, you'll find selections from Pigpen's return tour at Ann Arbor, MI, 12/14/71. Subscribers will get nearly all of the complete show as this year's bonus disc.

As always, Dave's Picks Volume 26 has been mastered to HDCD specs from the original analog tapes by Jeffrey Norman and is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

via Wikipedia:Memorial Day or Decoration Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, will be held on May 28, 2018. The holiday was held on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. It marks the unofficial start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end. Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries. Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day – Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, whereas Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. It is also not to be confused with Armed Forces Day, a minor U.S. remembrance celebrated earlier in May, which specifically honors those currently serving in the U.S. military. The Star Spangled Banner (all four verses are sung here by a vocal choir accompanied by organ) duration: 5:13 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1wLtAXDgqg Follow up with this: U.S. Blues (from the Grateful Dead Movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1mylHvg8DY

...I always enjoyed this performance... :) On Sept. 15, 1976, the notorious Hells Angels motorcycle gang threw a party on a boat in New York Harbor and invited all their friends. Dubbed The Pirates Ball, the bill included the Jerry Garcia Band (with Keith and Donna Godchaux), Bo Diddley, and Elephant’s Memory, a New York band known for backing John Lennon and Yoko Ono in the early ‘70s. The ship, the USS Duchess, shoved off from Battery Park in lower Manhattan, and promised not to return to dock “until the party is over.” It was a Hells Angeles bash, but anyone feeling brave enough (and, with any luck, had no sense of smell) could buy a ticket for $15. Why Garcia would want to be trapped on a boat with the Hells Angels after the disaster at Altamont seven years earlier, when an Angel infamously stabbed a festivalgoer to death right in front of the stage while The Rolling Stones played, is anyone’s guess. Garcia, who had been at Altamont with The Grateful Dead, later called the festival “a nice afternoon in hell.” On the compact Duchess stage, with a noose dangling ominously in the background, Garcia and Co. played a relatively brief set, breaking out “Catfish John,” “After Midnight,” “They Love Each Other” and a few others. Watch below as they ramble through a nine-minute cover of Bob Marley’s “Stir It Up.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/09/wat… - filmed performance / primo ;) http://www.dead.net/features/jerry-garcia-band-pirates-ball-poster https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jYZ2hOWWyv8

Hello all... I hope everyone is enjoying a long weekend and feasting on some GOGD. It's been a while since I've posted on here (life, and all, getting in the way). So... I was just wondering, who's going out to see Dead & Co. this summer? I'm going to Alpine Valley for a B-Day weekend with my 15 year-old son. It's my b-day, not his! So... anyone else going to be there? The speculation and non-announcement of the forthcoming box set is about killing me. At any rate, everyone enjoy their holiday. Drink good beer and fire up the grill and some Dead. Peace!

.....so I get up at dawn. I lug the big speakers out onto the second floor balcony.Then I raise my stein aloft and yell “REMEMBER THE FALLEN” as I crank up Death Don’t Have No Mercy from 10-09-89, followed by GD Movie U.S. Blues, (wanted to end upbeat, like Jerry with the little upturn at the end of a phrase..). Obviously not a lot of Patriots in my neighborhood? Yeessh, you’d think I dissed the royals or something? Anyway, luckily everything was packed up and back to normal by the time the law drove by.... “...come to get ya when you don’t walk right” For those of you who partake, and you know who you are, grilling season is officially here. Party on Garth! Just be careful chilren’ and for god sakes remember to ware your official osha approved “chillin & grillin’” exclusive deck seatbelts......nothing spoils a national holiday like uncle Chester getting ripped to the tips, projectile vomiting in mid flight as he floats off the deck like a Mexican cliff diver! Eee-gads, “the horror” Remeber, Good people died so we can board the mothership, while never having to leave the comfort and safety of the back yard! Thanks all y’all!!! Saluuuute!

Ran the Bolder Boulder this morning and had coupons for three free beers afterward. Each runner only gets one, but my buddy and I were "miracled" by four non-drinkers waving free coupons. A righteous way to start a lazy Monday. Got the kids to and back from the pool, now listening to Led Zeppelin, sipping Jack Daniel's and soda and waiting for the wife to return with brats and dogs for the grill. Summer on.

....spent all last night listening to new stuff I haven't tried yet. Jack Johnson, some ELP, some Gabriel Genesis, some Tool. Woke up this (late) morning and cranked some Dead. At La-Z-Boy showroom now because they are having a pretty awesome sale. And it's La-Z-Boy or nothing in our home. Going to be making some ribs in a little bit. The puck drops at 5 PST.

Sounds like rather than spend $1400 on a single ticket for a playoff game, Vguy is going to be reclining in style in his living room for the whole series.Beer, bud, and bathroom only a few feet away. Unless he got a La-Z-Boy with a built in fridge. Or did he get the Lazy Man’s La-Z-Boy with a fridge, a stash pocket, and a funnel, tube, and collection bucket so you never have to get up? For an extra $100 you can go super deluxe which also has a vibrating fingers massage.

Looks like everyone is enjoying themselves on this festive weekend of remembrance.. it's amazing what a day off from work can do for the spirits. I'm a bit miffed by the repetitive calls for More Doughnuts.. but whatever, everyone seems to be happy. 10/9/89 Death Don't Have No Mercy.. one of my apex show moments.. still gives me goosebumps. Happy Memorial Day all, More Doughnuts! and whatever else makes you happy including gogd.

I am a professed non-professional sports dude. I could really give a shit. The previous post awakened me.. my naivety in this matter is shocking. Living just a couple hours away from DC and witnessing some serious cyber, pro-sports bullying against my local teams woke me up. VGuy is a long term friend of mine here.. I mean.. we both really dig a good Cumberland Blues, regardless of era. Brothers in arms.. but no longer. His last 'bullying' post awakened a sleeping beast from within. I realize now we are rivals. A fight to the death is upon us.. I don't even think we can like and listen to the same shows anymore. Our children can no longer hang out, at least with our permissions. Game on VGuy.. until five minutes ago, I could care less about pro sports.. then that post. Now it all matters. I ordered three XXXL Caps Jerseys and will fill them out with rage that has building up from within these last few weeks. That post.. 1.... 1 I am raged now.. Game on VGuy.. I fart in your general direction you nasty wiper of other peoples bottoms. .. you will lose you golden kiniggets.. I wave my private parts at you... Run Away.... lose, lose again.. or I shall be forced to taunt you a seconded.. ttTimmmmee.

Fun game last night, eh? I think I'm pulling for you guys, or more specifically, for Mr. Marc-Andre Fleury and against Mr. Tom "Concussions are a Chinese Hoax" Wilson. I started the game with the Cobo Hall Doors show on as a soundtrack. After the first disc I was informed by Mrs. Deadguy that "Jim Morrison's insane ranting" was no longer enhancing the experience. So I kicked it over to 5/14/78 from 30 trips instead. Good times were enjoyed by all. I might need to remember this tactic in the future. "What, you don't like this bootleg of a belching contest between Jim Morrison, Janis, and Hunter S. Thompson? I'm sorry, what if I just put on a nice Dead show instead?"

Over the weekend I found Dave's Picks 18 to be a great background music CD for company at a party. And when I say background, I don't mean the volume was low. I mean you can turn it up loudly without it overwhelming people's conversations. Very soft smooth and delicate.

I'm sure a trippy 76 PITB and a couple of ales would erase any fabricated sports tension. After all, it worked with Mrs. Deadguy..
