    Dave's Picks Volume 28: Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ, 6/17/76

    This year's Dave's Picks series comes to a close just as the band's getting back together again in '76. By the time the Grateful Dead hit New Jersey’s Capitol Theatre - for the very first time - on 6/17/76, they were buzzing from their reunion, armed with new and revived material, the Rhythm Devils reformed with the mischievous Mickey Hart once again behind the kit. They'd skived off the unwieldy Wall of Sound and scaled back the venues from cavernous arenas to intimate theatres. Quite the treat!

    During the first set, the Dead's playing was nuanced ("Cold Rain And Snow"), detailed ("Looks Like Rain"), and intricate ("The Music Never Stopped"); the singing struck softly ("Row Jimmy") and raised hairs ("Ship Of Fools"). But it’s the big barreling energy of the second set you’ll want to brace yourself for, replete with a disco'd "Dancing In The Streets," a low-down funky “Help”>”Slip”>”Franklin's” and a wind 'em up to wind down "Let It Grow">"Wharf Rat">"Around and Around." Can you keep up? There's only one way to find out.

    This complete show, balanced out with a couple of bonus tracks from 6/23/76 and 6/28/76, was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    Dave's Picks Volume 28 is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    Grab a copy before they're gone, gone, gone.

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

    Dave Rock and Jim in MD - FYI I have a good chunk of Phish and sent the both of you an email containing every Phish show ever done. This totaled up to 5000 gig, so if you think your email is hung, it's just downloading my file. Should only take 6 or 7 days. Enjoy

    Love My Girl - sent PM

    Last 5 is always odd here. I work in a head shop and we play music all day. I work with mostly kids so I hear a lot of new. Currently I'm working on a massive collection of Harry 'Scrappy' Lambert, this guy seem to sing with every big band of the 20's and 30's. So I sucking in hits like, "walkin' my baby back home", "am I blue" and who could forget, "run up the steps, knock on the door, shout hallelujah, cause I'm home"! As Greg Kihn would sing many years later, "they just don't write them like that anymore".

    Been listening to a band my buddy sent me called "Na'Bodach",,,,,, new celtic(?)

    The jorma and jack album released by Owsley is nice.

    The Dylan live 62-66 rare performances is nice and that last Dylan bootleg collection (more blood, more tracks) very nice.

    I picked up a Elvis live at MSG 1972,,, what can you say,,, elvis,,,, I don't think elvis music has aged well.

    In the vein of old 78 rpm stuff, bought a collection of Buddy Clark (more just for the song "Linda", have this in my 78 collection).

    Finally, who is this "Nancyboy"? I've searched all the posting and can not find that user. :-)

    Edit - have a chuckle over this one.

    Valid Points

    Valid points. Lets not let things get too barbed and personal though. ..which is a drag to read at least to me. I'm not defending Unkle, you can see these things coming, point then counter point and on and on. But it seemed the tone changed more than it had to to get ones point across.

    It's likely we share more in common than what sets us apart, we should remember this. ..at least I believe it to be true. Comments like these are a sign of the times I guess.. but I do agree with Charlie that making posts that put people down, which was present in both aforementioned posts, does little to move things along it just brings it all to a screeching halt.

    It accomplishes nothing.

    Opinions and Ad Hominem Attacks

    Well, since we're talking about it here's my 2cents.

    It appears to me that Unkle Sam mixed in a little trolling in his post and took the opportunity to let us know he was against the wall, and also to let us know that anyone who didn't share his view is a rube, and just the sort of person who would launch a personal attack on him based on his view. This seems like a pre-emptive strike by Unkle Sam against anyone who doesn't share his view and certainly seems like it could be construed as an "attack" on those who don't share his view. After all, he is stating that the people who don't share his view are rubes, hardly a positive description, and that they are the type of person who would attack him for his views. Is it irony that he is at the same time attacking and denigrating those with views different from his own?

    Butch appears to have gotten annoyed by Unkle's trolling and called him out on his pretty regular political bitching, usually couched in terms of letting us all know how much he dislikes the president and his policies. It seems to me that this was a predictable response to Unkle's comment, and pretty much what happens everytime someone brings up politics on these threads. The only question was who would respond.

    If you want to make snide comments, that's cool, some are even amusing, but don't be surprised when your snark leads to more of the same in response. Unkle referred to a whole swath of people as rubes and Butch referred to Unkle as a big baby whining about his political views on deadnet. Both engaged in behavior that could be considered an attack on others, neither is really something to get worked up about, and each really is about expressing negative opinions, which after all, are still opinions. If you aren't free to express a negative opinion, you don't really have free expression. The price of free expression is listening to the free expression of others, even when you disagree.

    I think you are confusing having the right to express your opinion with having the right to attack other posters. Maybe it would be better if you followed your own advice and stuck to The Dead.

    There are politics threads on Dead.net. It's just nobody ever sleuths them out, or posts in them hardly.

    The DaP and Box Set threads tend to become catch-alls. And therein lies the peril.

    Nice to Hear More Moaning and Groaning from Uncle Sam

    I'm glad I'm free to express my opinion, because I'm tired of your sniveling about TRUMP. Go find a political message board to piss and moan on. You sound like an big baby. This board's for the Dead. I feel a little bit sorry for you, because you're obviously a miserable old sod.

    Dave's Picks 18. I love the mix on this. Jerry sounds so loud and isolated, and so does Keith. I don't listen to a lot of 1976, mainly because I just haven't gotten around to it yet being a fairly new deadhead. And I figured it was 1977 without the Terrapin Station songs. And Fire on the Mountain I guess that was from Shakedown Street. But I now hear a whole lot of piano that you don't get in 77 and 78 oh, and I like it. Going Down The Road Feeling Bad, Not Fade Away, and One More Saturday Night future a lot of great piano work from Mr. Godchaux. Those are songs that I usually don't get too into, but they really hit the spot here. Dave's 18.

    Mac Mini

    MacBook Pro (previous model with 1TB spinning HD and DVD burner)
    iMac (think it’s a 2011/12)

    Use all of them. Often try to get 3 of them running at the same time to increase my productivity. One processing audio, another processing video, another burning discs. Yeah I still burn discs, CD’s, DVD’s, BluRays. Have 3 BluRay burners, ran 2 last night and burned 12 BD-R’s while watching hockey. My audio collection is in multiple formats - AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, AAC-320 kbps (my car will only play lossy mp3’s from a USB flash drive), so having several computers allows me to get a lot of file converting done.

    Also still have 2 white plastic MacBooks. One I bought used several years ago and just use it to collect torrents. FYI, there are new Charlie Miller’s being added to etree regularly.

    Have been using PC’s at work for years, even used to use a Sun Workstation for some things. For that reason I do have a Dell laptop at home, but rarely use it. Stupid thing can’t run Windows 10 because, and this is according to Dell Customer Support - it needs a driver that Dell has no intention of creating. Because they want me to buy a new Dell. Which I’m not going to do.

    I use iTunes to store audio files on a HD, but I do not ever use iTunes on my iPhone or iPad. I do have a 60 GB iPod classic but generally only use that on airplanes.
    For a music player I have an iBasso DX80: dual micro SDXC slots, up to 1TB each, plays lossless formats, and has an optical out port for connecting to the stereo. It’s awesome.

    Phish? I stopped seeing them in 1998. Periodically will watch some of the modern stuff on YouTube which confirms that I don’t need to try to get back into them. The ‘new stuff’ doesn’t do it for me, but I do like to watch them play the songs from the early 90’s.
    Slave to the Traffic Light is my favorite Phish song. There’s a good version of it on Live Phish.

    Topics, Phish, Other

    I have tried for years to get into Phish.. every now and then I see a spark. I really liked their Halloween shows when they played, for example.. the whole White Album, Quadrophenia and the like.

    A couple weeks ago in the truck I changed the channel to Jam On (must have been playing One More Saturday Night or something on the GD Channel) and arrived in the middle a really interesting instrumental piece. Hard driving and hypnotic, compelling.. I think they have the chops. I will continue to keep an open mind.

    I enjoy most topics discussed here.. so long as things don't dissolve into negativity or personal attacks. I guess some of the same old subjects get recycled way too easy too, but in part the music drives some of this. If it's light hearted, informative, related to music or loosely related to the music, times and life of the GD.. Life and times can carry subjects a bit, but usually that's ok. Some of the people here and have insights into topics that are interesting to me. Mostly a fun group. Fun is good.

    I like Apple products, but recently started switching away and am happier (and wealthier) for it. Sorry to anyone who works there or is very happy with their machines. I got pissed that they weren't allowing memory chips in their phones so we could swap out music and add a bigger library without deleting and replacing.. plus, sorry.. but they have become overpriced and have always been a little proprietary for my liking. As for PCs.. Macs are fine and excel in media, no question about that.. but are overpriced and limited. For me, it's harder to do database work in a Mac and I plug into systems and use software that Macs just don't do so well at or cannot do at all. HP's and Dells have given me problems over the years.. hard drive and motherboard crashes in young machines, etc. (again, sorry for anyone that works there or is happy w/ their machines), I'm done with them.. I love my Thinkpad X1 Carbon.. 1TB internal flash-type storage, lightning fast, semi-spill proof and ok with very hot and very cold temps.. I beat the crap out of my machines and this one has lasted much longer than expected. Oh.. super light and thin too. Sorry mac uses but when it comes to crunching large amounts of data.. they suck and yes.. I have tried. Fine for spreadsheets, word, music, photo's and movies but not so good for interconnectivity and kicking ass on large datasets. No one winner, no wrong answers, more personal preference and no, Macs simply are not better at everything than PCs.

    I just hope my thinkpads aren't working as a spybots for the Chinese government!

    Excited for the Swing, curious about the box set.. Plangent for all I say! Happy New Year..

Was just wondering if any of you were able to obtain replacement discs yet for Vol.28. I send the Doctor an email on 10/29, and was told a replacement for my damaged disc 3 was on its way in 2-4 weeks, but nothing yet. Bummed.

No, not yet, asked for replacements for Dave's 28 first, then the PNW discs second, got PNW discs but no word on the Dave's skipping discs yet.
Dead and Co. tickets on sale when? how much? went to their site and it sent me to a resale site, 82.00 for lawn? seriously?
on another note, have any of you heard about there being people at the shows who were given free tickets, that were put there by the band to promote them? to fill up the stadiums? I heard a weird rumor yesterday and just wanted to see if any of you had heard about this? say it's not true Bobby.

If you click on the "View" button to the side of the PM, it opens up the whole thread. From there near the top there is an option called "Delete Thread" that deletes the whole thing (probably just after sending a copy to the FBI, your mom and your first grade teacher).

I emailed Dr Rhino on 14th and 27th November but so far only had automated reply saying very busy and will respond within 5 days. I guess he must be snowed under with so many faulty disc complaints
I'm going to leave it another couple of weeks before chasing up again

I did a stupid thing online last week. In the early hours of the morning a message appeared on my lap top telling me that 3 viruses had been identified, and that I needed to counteract immediately. By paying £45.00, this firm said they would restore everything back to normal. Except they didn't, and requested a further payment, instead. I didn't pay that-but I did pay the first amount. I realised what I had done-been hacked-if that's the right word. Anyway, I managed to recoup my losses-luckily I paid by Paypal. I took my computer back to the shop for a proper clean up, and everything is okay again. I thought I was wise to things, too...

I agree that Clementine always sounded great when it was played. Other highlights of 1968, for me, are New Potato Caboose and the way China Cat goes into The Eleven.

The 12/14/71 show is awesome. Great setlist, great performance, and strong audio quality. I jumped on the Albuquerque show when this came out, and never quite gave the December 14th show it's du ( largely because Dave's Picks 22 covered this ground well). The NFA => GDTRFB => NFA is real ass-kicker (the first NFA is 8 freakin' minutes).

Wow this robot protection thing cuts you off mid-sentence doesn't it. Doesn't even return You Back to the comment box automatically. You have to scroll and click not so easy on the cell phone driving. I have this sinking feeling that Daves picks 29 it's going to take a few days to sell out, maybe longer. I hope I'm wrong, but I really think that the message board traffic this site used to get generated a lot of sales. Maybe I'm wrong we'll see.

I haven't been having the troubles other have using this site.. but I am a PC, not a phone user. I have pretty much gotten used to it, but ease of entry and maneuvering are not as clean. True with many upgrades, I guess.

I believe the 12/14 was a favorite of the keeper of the 71 flame, forensicdoceleven. I loved that release, too.. but in some regards, I am not that heard to please and the sonic upgrade for the Albuquerque show is a big deal. I enjoyed the latest 76 show a lot also. Both great releases.

Back to the upgrade and related problems.. the reason they even have these message boards is to fuel hype and guide sales, hopefully upward. The recent increase in disc quality issues combined with the upgrade will certainly have an effect, more likely on box sets than on Dave's Picks. If I were them I would Take A Step Back.. and rethink things. KayakGuy was correctly pushing for plangent processing for Dave's Picks a few months ago, they could roll that into the fold, better a better handle on quality assurance and try to correct the course into 2019/2020 and beyond.
oh.. and tone down the white just a tad.. oww, my eyeballs.. :D

At some point they will release another 1974 show in the Daves Picks series. I'm hoping for either June 23rd or July 25th, but I am predicting he goes with February 23rd. Possibly next year... but this prediction is good until the next 1974 release...

I'm really looking forward to the swing show in February. I'm rarely familiar with soundboards, but this one's been on my radar a long time. Even with the high number of releases we have from 1977, this one is still special. The time is moving slowly though...

I feel like the lysergic is just kicking in or approaching the first scaleable peak, for the band, during this one. Soft and gentle, Jerry so patient choosing each note like it truly matters. Wow, what a thing this band was. Getting it on every level, it would take an army of Joseph Campbells to fully digest it and construct it with words. Words get in the way.

Saw Fleetwood Mac last night. There is other music, than the Dead - it's true. Nothing with the weight, but good stuff nonetheless. Mike Campbell was a treasure. God bless Tom Petty, just like Johnny Cash.

Yeah the new format is like Wal-mart with the fluorescents on 110%. Oh well. It is what it is.

October 29th discover skip on Disc 3 Let it grow, become bummed, but hey it happens, (Had Disc 2 skip on 5/5/77 only other skip).... Send email to Dr. Rhino. Get auto response, busy get back in 5 days.... November 6th fill out form, glad i can find my order number...... November 13th "We will send out new disc allow 2 to 4 weeks to arrive........ December 5th "Sitting here in Limbo, but I know it Won't be Long"

..or does it read better as Lyceun Rum. 5/24 is a truly underrated show, as are so many from that magical tour. It has become my favorite stepchild, with a few close seconds like Lille, Munich and well.. so many others.

The Lyceum Run to my ears is a high water mark for the band. Like an exclamation point at end of a the sentence describing ones most exciting accomplishments. What a four show sequence and it has to be listened in it's entirety to understand how magnificent a run it was. Bickershaw might be the best stand-alone and The Lyceum the best run from the tour.

I guess the same could be true of other runs in their career, but.... that doesn't make it untrue. 5/24 might not be the best, but don't let that dissuade you from turning it up and enjoying the ride..

The second set takes on many forms and is quite compelling containing some brilliant passages, especially in TOO sequence. Powerful, explosive, atonal, pensive, passive, offensive and emotive at times. ..but don't overlook the first set. Right from the start it rocks and contains some of my more liked versions of China>Rider and PITB. Magically delicious.

It's been a while since I listened to the whole tour in sequence (well.. since Fall 2011>Winter 2012). I plan to do this in the spring.

Hello Marye, I recently moved and when tracking delivery for Dave's 28 it showed it was delivered. I initially thought this was the fault of the post office, however after a little investigation it appears I forgot to notify dead.net about the address change and it was passed to point at which my mail was being forwarded. I waited, hoping my old mailman would take cafe of it but it certainly appears he did not. I've been very busy with the move and work so I haven't had a chance to address this in any way. I was just wondering if it was too late or if it was possible it was returned and is being held at Rhino or GDM. I 'm aware this is a completely self induced dilemma but I just thought I would reach out. Thank you

Sssh I think we're alone now. Ok go.
1. Maggot Brain is as good an album as ever made but always overlooked. Why is that?

2. English rock and roll bands need to be heavily influenced by American music to get on my playlist. Eric Clapton. Stones. Beatles. Led Zeppelin. Ten Years After. John Mayall.

3. King Crimson couldn't play Johnny B. Good to save their lives.

4. Imagine by John Lennon is really awful. Most over rated song in history.

5. The Dali Lama is nothing more than Tibetan Buddhism's Pope. Think about it.

6. If Jim Morrison was ugly no one would have ever heard of The Doors.

7. Jerry Garcia is McCoy Tyner's right hand and Bob Weir is McCoy Tyner's left hand. It's uncanny how that so works.

I overlooked Maggot Brain till a year or so ago, but the problem has been corrected. The title song was a revelation first time that I heard it, deeply gratifying. Now that you mentioned it, I feel like I am due for another listen.

Glad the comments here alerted me to the upcoming Jorma and Jack release. Had the chance to see them in the mid to late '80s in Poughkeepsie, NY at the Chance. Cool show, cool venue - the Chance was an old opera house. There are times when some Hot Tuna really hits the spot.

Possibly true that King Crimson can't play Johnny B. Good(e). But they can play something else. And I don't mean the Eddie Cochran song.

Free Your Mind And Your Ass Will Follow was a great Funkadelic track, off the album of the same name. I haven't heard it-or them-for years-but I have just given it a spin. Still sounds seriously groovy-out there with attitude.

The Mothership Connection 1976

A fine DVD and only $9.99 at various online sellers.

I recommend you obtain one as a stocking stuffer for yourself.

It just took me more than 10 reCAPTCHA exams on that last post.
And for one of the exams I had to select all 16 squares, the picture was a close up of a crosswalk.

Get on up
Stay on the scene... yeah, James Brown hits the spot for sure. Currently listening to my Funk Box collection with faux red velvet cover, track 1, disc 1 - Get Up, James Brown. If you dig some funk and soul, the Funk Box may be for you, a definite mood lifter. Can't get enough of Express Yourself by Charles Wright, and when Aretha busts out Rock Steady, the big speakers just come alive with that bass line. Something different after listening to American Beauty earlier this evening.

On BluRay audio.

Picked it up recently, just put it in the player, watched the bonus video, then went to the audio and jumped to No Quarter.
WOW!!!!
Sounds amazing!!!

Edit:
This is a new audio remix, released in 2018.
Says: “Blu-Ray mixed from the original multitracks”.

I wonder why? If it was worth disagreeing with each other 6 months ago-surely its worth having a pop now. Its IS a bit white-but we have overcome worse. After all, we are the Dead.
