    "The Grateful Dead picked up their instruments and hit the first note with perfection. They never missed a note for the next three and one-half hours. People followed the flow of the tunes. Down on the floor in front of the stage was a sea of heads keeping time with the music. No one sat still. No one, except the youngsters behind us sat still. They were still and stunned." - The Power County Press

    And what a stunner it was, that show at the Boise State University Pavilion in Boise, ID on September 2, 1983. Dave's Picks Volume 27 contains every stitch of music from this mid-80s show (our first in this series), one that's as good as any other in Grateful Dead history. When the Dead were on, they were ON! Straight out the gate with a definitive take on the old standard "Wang Dang Doodle," the band swiftly switches back to a setlist of yore, firing off 70s staples like "Jack Straw" and "Brown-Eyed Women" and wrapping things up with a terrific trio of "Big Railroad Blues"/"Looks Like Rain"/"Deal" (don't you let that epic guitar solo go down without you). Primed for the second set, they tackle the complexities of "Help>Slipknot!>Franklin's" with heart and ease. It's clear there will be no stopping their flow - Bobby and Brent hanging in for a fantastic pre-Drums "Jam" and Jerry and Bobby in the zone on a not-to-be-missed melodic "Space." Not a skipper in the whole lot!

    Dave's Picks Volume 27 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and it is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    Here's a website I've been using to try to make a spreadsheet of all the full show releases, been at it off and on for a few hours, amd up to 1979, with 154 shows put out between 1966 and 1978, it's quite a lot. The site is missing some of the most recent releases, and I'm leaving out most of the random few song releases. I'll figure a way to post it when it's done, but the numbers below are off quite a bit. Europe '72 by itself is 22 shows, by my count it's 33.5 1972 releases counting 11/18/72, and I count 25 1977 releases (counting 11/2, which has almost all been released, but not counting the October '77 Road Trips, which is a smattering of songs across several shows), and 20 1990 releases (counting 3/24 which has almost all been released over various compilations). http://www.deaddisc.com/GDFD_Dead_By_Date.htm Eta: just saw icecreamkd's post came through as I was typing.

    Official Releases
    Not included are compilation Road Trips and the bonus discs that went with them. A few other bonus discs may be missing.Rockin' the Rhein, Hundred Year Hall, and Steppin' Out are not included. Most years/eras are well represented except those where high quality recordings are lacking: 65-68, mid-80's. The 90's are not that well represented. There are gems to be found there, and they probably sound pretty good. But, as I posted below, those will probably be held until later as a tool to keep revenue coming in.

Thanks - It's an 80's Japanese-made tele with new antiquities pickups. Reasonable price but vintage-vibe - rings like a bell. I'm more of an acoustic player so when I play an electric I tend to hit more than one or two strings. Humbuckers are just too wide sounding and it makes my tone muddy. Tele does the trick... bright, sustain-y, looks cool. People seem to be playing teles more than strats these days.

I am now well aware that my original post did not come across as intended as several people have pointed out. Point taken. I am not prepared to engage in one of those pitiful slanging matches that seem to occur far too often on here as a result of bruised egos and a stubborn refusal to back down. I see little sincerity in the stated observation that I am perfect, but I can live with that. 1) The guy doesn't know me and 2) I'm not perfect. Who is? End of story as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks Dave for the kind words, and to Thin for making me laugh. Sorry to everyone else....I come here to hang out with Dead Heads, who usually are open minded and tolerant, even when I act like a fool, not for insults. There’s enough fucking hate in the world, and things personally have been rough lately, so I’ve been coming here for the community, to try and tap into some of that ole GD love.... This BS, church shit, insulting Hippy Chic WTF? What the hell happened to us? Ok, enough, let’s talk about some good ole Gol Dang Greateful Dead! Just listened to Run for the Roses for first time in forever......obviously not his best work, but some nice moments, and better than what came after...........like thick air and crickets!

....what happened to us indeed? There's uppercuts and then there's low blows. Cut me Mick. I'm going back in!. Haha!! I'm going full Hawaiian today. GarciaLive Vol 10 followed by DaP 19. Remember when there was an argument of there being a terrapin on a surfboard on the cover of a Grateful Dead release that was from a show prior to Terrapin Station even being a cum stain on the sheets? I do. That was hilarious....still stuck in a UB40 mood btw. Going on a month now. That's unusual for me, but then again, I'm not entirely normal.

Bruce is a phenomenal guitarist and has written a whole raft of songs that I find beautiful and amazing, and that have affected me as profoundly as that of any musician other than the Dead. A lot to say about him, perhaps I'll put some of it to "paper." Surprised that no one has mentioned that Jerry covered his song "Waiting for a Miracle" (maybe I missed it?)

I know nothing about guitars. But doesn’t it look a little bland without a fake f-hole sticker like Mayer’s guitar? Seriously, why would you put on a sticker to make it look like there is a hole there? A couple dancing bears and stealies would look way better.

....been dead for a while. Thanks for the reminder. (that was a joke, not a jab. One could interpret what I said as truth. Another could interpret that as sarcasm. Someone else might say I'm antagonizing fourwindsblow.) Human nature is unpredictable as the weather. Everyone is wired differently....I love reading these boards. Give me insight into topics that wouldn't have registered otherwise. Who is it that always ends their post with "the door is opened but only you can walk through." Or something like that. Close enough.

AOTS 50th (spinning now)10-22-67 Ladies & Gentlemen GD Movie Soundtrack 10-22-67 AOTS 50th How ‘bout that sandwich? Being one for whole shows and not compilations I previously did not buy L&G. Recently picked it up and it’s quite nice, but confirms my original belief. Those shows are too good to be chopped up. Also recently obtained the soundtrack which is also nice, but also confirms that those shows need to be released as a complete Box of CD’s and DVD/BR.

Spineless from the start, sucked into the partCircus comes to town, you play the lead clown Please, please Spreading his disease, living by his story Knees, knees Falling to your knees, suffer for his glory You will Time for lust, time for lie Time to kiss your life goodbye Send me money, send me green Heaven you will meet Make a contribution And you'll get the better seat Bow to Leper Messiah Marvel at his tricks, need your Sunday fix Blind devotion came, rotting your brain Chain, chain Join the endless chain Taken by his glamour Fame, Fame Infection is the game, stinking drunk with power We see Time for lust, time for lie Time to kiss your life goodbye Send me money, send me green Heaven you will meet Make a contribution And you'll get the better seat Bow to Leper Messiah Witchery, weakening Sees the sheep are gathering Set the trap, hypnotize Now you follow Time for lust, time for lie Time to kiss your life goodbye Send me money, send me green Heaven you will meet Make a contribution And you'll get the better seat Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie Lie . . I'm Christian and these lyrics are truth for some "keepers of the flock".

....refreshing page. Make it so number one. Damage Inc.Dealing out the agony within Charging hard and no one's gonna give in Living on your knees, conformity Or dying on your feet for honesty Inbred, our bodies work as one Bloody, but never cry submission Following our instinct not a trend Go against the grain until the end Blood will follow blood Dying time is here Damage Incorporated Slamming through, don't fuck with razorback Stepping out? You'll feel our hell on your back Blood follows blood and we make sure Life ain't for you and we're the cure Honesty is my only excuse Try to rob us of it, but it's no use Steamroller action crushing all Victim is your name and you shall fall Blood will follow blood Dying time is here Damage Incorporated We chew and spit you out We laugh, you scream and shout All flee, with fear you run You'll know just where we come from Damage Incorporated . . Love the "Honesty is my only excuse" line. Yup. Master Of Puppets is pretty much a perfect record.

I've always preferred them to strats, myself. Yours looks very much like a 1952 reissue. Not meaning to show off-but I've got two. An American Special, which has hot Texas Special single coils pick ups and looks quite similar to yours. Its blonde with a black pickguard. I have this tuned to open G, with the bottom E string removed-like you know who.The other tele is a Japanese Pink Paisley. That also has single pick ups. It looks amazing to me-although its not to everyone's taste. Its got a much better sound than the American Special. Very trebly. A Fender Champ amplifier and a Memphis Sun echo box-way to go!

....to be honest, I haven't even listened to the '71 remastered remix re-release yet. Might be a while before I do. Trying to catch up to icecrmcnkid. Just plopped it into the player. Alligator is the highlight imo. Pigpen never sounded so "melodic". Never met an Alligator I didn't like. And the 50th 3D lenticular cover is worth the price of admission.

Tele - That's a stock photo - not my actual tele. tele's rock. Glad you have 2 - wish i had a back-up for gigs. Mayer's f-hole sticker is likely because he has a signature model with an f-hole. But when playing stadiums, hollow body's act weird, so he probably opted for the solid body. The folks buying his signature model won't be playing stadiums... more likely living rooms and small clubs where an f-hole doesn't provide unwanted feedback and low-hum a stadium creates. Just my theory.

According to a documentary I saw called Back to the Future, a mysterious young man named Calvin Klein invented Rock n Roll one night at a high school dance in California in 1955.

I always feel silly as they are often just GD. - GD 10/22/71, Auditorium Theatre, Chicago IL (DaP 3). - GD 10/21/71, Auditorium Theatre, Chicago IL (DaP 3 Bonus Disc). - GD Anthem of the Sun Bonus Disc (Winterland, San Francisco, CA 10/22/67). - River Montage (5/3/72 select cuts, 5/7/72, select cuts, 6/18/74 select cuts, 12/26/79 select cuts). - Revisit of DaP 26 (11/17/71 Albuquerque and 12/14/71 Ann Arbor). Sorry for the boring setlists. Nothing but incessant, yet mind pleasing chaos and noodling. On a bright note.. some good friends of mine took their 13 year old son down the river I live on yesterday.. his first trip down in a kayak, which is an incredible feat at 13 years old, it's pretty stout. His parents own and operate a local gear manufacturing company called Immersion Research and I got the honor/nod of having them ask me to show them the the 'easy' line down one of the bigger drops, National Falls. Always puts me in the US Blues mood for some reason. Anyway.. pretty cool stuff.. I was honored.. whitewater royalty in the making. Rogue - True, Calvin Klein was the inventor and father of Rock and Roll. I had a difficult time understanding the controversy over the last couple days. It's pretty clear cut. If anyone wants to borrow the wayback machine and check it out.. it's all right there plain as day.

... is playing the Regina Folk Festival August 12. I've seen him 4 or 5 times over his illustrious 4-decade-spanning career, from simple folkie to protest rocker. Definitely some of his albums come off preachy as Anatexis22 points out. But his guitar playing is outstanding and has never disappointed when I've seen him live. IMHO a must see if he comes to your neck of the woods.

I will gladly get you down the Upper Yough.. consider this an open invitation. I will toss you in a raft with a professional guide though, or Mrs. VGuy will certainly do me in when you show up in town with one ear and three eyes. As for royalty? You are the only Senator that replies to my emails and posts. We could knight you, but would you trust us tapping you on the shoulder with a sharpened sword? Oh.. the river offer goes for pretty much anyone here. We can get you down in once piece. Usually.

Brand X Moroccan Roll? I thought I was the only one on earth that had that album or even listened to it. I would be surprised if they converted it to CD?? Talk about eclectic.. what a great prog album. I'm not a huge Phil Collins fan, but I chalk this up as this was back before he gave up and went for the pop dollars.. like when he still fancied himself a serious musician. If that's fair to say.

....back in the day (1700's), we would be sitting in New England slat back chairs, round a fireplace, with snifters of brandy, smoking hemp, talking of the harvest. Listening to the hounds howl. Here's to a rhyhmic beat. And 23% thc. No joke. stoltzfus posted his last dozen. Lol. Now I want eggs....I make a mean omelette. The kitchen sink is extra.

Were they really smoking rope in England? or just the immigrants tending the fields? I don't think weed made its way to England, but would be happy to be proven wrong on this. I'd imagine if they were, Henry VIII wouldn't have been such a prick and would have had many, many male heirs.. perhaps a with a queen with a full rack of hippie furry under-armor of her own. Just saying or hoping that oppressive, dictatorship rule just might have been more tolerable if a little Indica made its way to the people doing the work and the ruling class too. :D

The Cramps were truly inspirational. A sight for sore eyes, too. They toured England many times between 1979 and 1996, and I saw them whenever I could. All there albums are worth getting. A wonderful antidote to all the drek that was around in the 1980s and 90s.

In suggesting that smoking may make living under a dictatorship more tolerable, I think you have just inadvertently provided the strongest argument against legalising cannabis I have ever read!
