Grateful Dead

Next big box

Fillmore West February 1970

I was listening to 12/27/89 the other day, that's an interesting show with a good PITB>Crazy Fingers>UJB. I was thinking the next 80s might be 85 for some reason. 6/30/85 comes to mind.

Wow, what a treasure trove we have seen get released over the last few years..

Replacement disc is the same defective disc I already have.WTF

Here's to hoping we see '87,'88 or '89 in the Dave's Picks this year. I for one am all for it.
:O)

Main reason I came outta the weeds, to celebrate my 40th anniversary.
First show was 1/20/1979.

Oh-oh what I want to know-oh,
Where does the time go?

Still cannot believe it’s been that long, yet-gads.
All our stuff is still in storage, especially my music server :( but I had to celebrate so connected the iPad to the one tv I have leaning up against a wall (for audio) and checked out 1/20/79. Also 1/10/79, hadn’t heard all that one before, great second set... still think 1/20 (fits on 2 discs with editing), and most of 1/10 #2 would make interesting but different Dave’s...
Anywho, felt I had to formally acknowledge one of the best days of my life!
Wooo-hooo, here’s to 40, er a, 30?, 20? more Gateful Years.
Come on boys, step up the releases!

Some know the Mickey Godchaux Band isn’t my favorite version of the band. That doesn’t mean I don’t like it, just not my favorite. I like ALL eras. That being said 28 has renewed an interest in 76 for me. Looking forward to picking up RT 4.5 on my way home tonight too.
And Shhhwwwwiiiinnnggg!
Man this one has always been one of my 77 favs. I remember when the B.B.s first started circulating, probably late eighties? I got the usual Cornell, buffalo etc, but the swing always seemed to just burst with energy!
I’m actually really looking forward to this release, number 30 too!

Hola, que paso?
Finally checking in...
Been lurking about for months but have not had the time or gumption to navigate new site etc..
Way too much “grownup” shit going on. If I told ya all that went down, it burn off both your ears!
Anyway, it’s been helpful getting through the last several months by at least checking in now and again, thanks!

Big thanks to those who kept things rolling and pleasant here, especially Jim and Daverock!
Still don’t have much time but hopefully I’ll be able to hang a bit more...

This must be hugely embarrassing for Rhino. Unbelievable.. they seem incapable of getting out in front of this problem.

On the bright side.. after moments of internal doubt and a correct click of the mouse it appears I am in fact not a robot.

Uh oh.. a tragedy of sorts has ensued, my click has timed out putting me back into the suspected robot category. A second successful click and I am again not a robot.

Whew.. tragedy narrowly averted. I plan to celebrate by doing something very unrobot-like..

Got 1 of my 2 DaP28 CD 3’s, the second one never showed up.
The one I got also was defective.
It would seem that they just sent out the production excess, rather than actually fixing the problem and manufacturing new CD’s.
I can envision the board room meeting at Rhino: “Those idiot Dead Heads will buy everything we put out, they’ll even pay us in advance. We don’t even have to make a quality product. Ha, ha, ha. Just send them defective replacements so that we can get them out of the warehouse. Eventually they’ll just give up trying to get what they paid for.”

Singing just leave well enough alone
