Grateful Dead

You should definitely pick up a copy of Reckoning to wet your whistle. I had the original one, not the rereleased expanded edition. Back when there were very limited live releases (LiveDead, E'72 triple album, Bear's Choice) the Dead released Dead Set and Reckoning. These two live albums were culled from a run of shows at the Warfield in SF and Radio City Music Hall in NYC - Dead Set was songs from the electric sets and Reckoning was from the acoustic set. I owned both since college and I'd say I played Reckoning a hundreds of times more than dead set, then again, I was not in the know regarding tape trading...

So yes I am very psyched and plan to get both the LP and CD. Don't understand the limited copies of the CD...

Hopefully they won't object to the Foxey Lady jam at The Ark show. If they do, it might be appropriate to mention that Voodoo Chile includes Muddy Waters riffs. Then where would we be.

Phew, y’all been busy. Great stuff, so of course I’ve been too busy to play! That’s because I finally got at least a small Stereo and the mighty YFS ref 3 server up and running, woooooooooo-hooooooooooooo! Tuneless Six long months finally over.
JIM/ Lucky old Sun; one of my favorite Jerry tunes. Yes I know it’s and old classic covered by many, but they did such an amazing job, especially Melvin!, that it’s a Jerry tune in my minds eye...Was fortunate to be at those 89 Merriweather shows so I’m biased also. In fact after your post that was one of the first things I played in the new house...
ZAPPA; also totally a novice but have Apostrophe and O.N.S. and love those albums. “Give me, your dirty love, just like that tacky little pamphlet in your daddy’s bottom drawer” lol. A lot of his stuff never really resonated with me? Perhaps not enough quality listening....perhaps some too silly. The silliness is one reason I’m not a huge Phish fan...ironic that a dude who was so anti drug was so into the worst one?
4/69 BOX; bring dat shit!!!
BOBT/early 79; you mentioned that there are unfortunately only only two early 79 shows in the vault “Rock for Life and one other...” would you or anyone else know what the other is?
SIXTUS; tanks for the awesome Healy article...always been a big fan and never get to hear much from him...
LAST 4/5; Dread Zepplin, DP 22, Moondance, and JGB 9/1+2/89.
X FACTOR; so finally fire up the server last night and what starts up.....the Song Moondance just as a huge orange full moon pops up over the mountains!!
CaseyJanes; glad to see “you crawled across the floor to take another shot” and made it back ok lol., and no that is not my dog, that’s actually me! Several lifetimes ago I got tired of the whole reptilian thing so came back as that dog! Now if only I could catch this dam tail!!!
SIXTUS; I remember diggin that 3/21/90 show, and as you mention especially that bad ass first set Victim. They had that rear surround array in those days and man that night they used it really well, especially good down on the floor.
IMHO, Pretty much that whole tour is awesome....
ROAD TRIPS 3.3; anyone heard anything about this getting rereleased soon? Have never heard this one but I’m getting psyched for this as well as DaP 30. Waiting on a real copy of DP 4 too. Yet another killer D.S.on that one!
Early 70 another new itch to scratch.

Ok, back to work....webinar on fiber and video distribution.....sort a like those film strips back in the sixties in grade school 😉

...if the Dead were to offer/sell a limited amount of the ‘non-numbered’ or ‘Numbered’ for a Dead.net exclusive release for this April 13Th *RSD 2CD ‘Warfield1980 acoustic sets’ would any of You members here on the board buy it? I haven’t really heard or read any positive feedback from the Dead community. I don’t know but I’m intrigued with the Dead’s Acoustic sets and performances. I loved the “heartbreakers or something” with the 6 solo pigpen songs ending the CD. I even loved the artwork! dead.net sold exclusively through their website and record store day ! Im grateful I have a copy in my collection when it was first made available to me! Grateful Deadhead : ) I love it All.
How many would you pre- order right now?

The Chicago Cubs will again host a Grateful Dead Night when they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers at Wrigley Field on April 24. The National League Major League Baseball team partnered with Third Man Pressing to offer ticket purchasers a limited edition 7-inch vinyl record featuring two live Grateful Dead recordings.

The special ticket offer comes with admission to the game as well as a copy of the special vinyl record pressed at Jack White’s Third Man Pressing in Detroit, Michigan. Side A is the Grateful Dead’s performance of “Brown-Eyed Women” at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre on May 13, 1977, and Side B is the Dead’s version of “Cumberland Blues” from the same venue on October 22, 1971.

The 2019 Chicago Cubs Grateful Dead Night will also present a pregame concert by Mr. Blotto. The team will donate a portion of the proceeds from Grateful Dead Night to the band’s Rex Foundation charitable organization. The Cubs first held a Grateful Dead Night at Wrigley Field during the 2018 season.
“Play Ball everybody”!!! ; )
...Here is the cover art for the limited 7” vinyl ;)

Hope that the Hendrix Family gives permission for the Foxey Lady Jam to be included.....
It would be a shame for that to be cut out.

...here’s to a ‘grateful’ Thursday everyone, smile smile smile! I sure need some more heavy but intimate doses of the dead today, I’m suffering terribly today with pain. Damn weather. ‘Cold, Rain & no snow, just that damp wet cold to the bone chill. I’m trying to stay positive so im going to grab ‘Daves Pick #10’ Thelma, LA. Dec. 12th 1969. Love this Pick. I remember when it was first released. The Art work is just Perfect for my likings. The highlight being PigPen the man himself. When he performs ‘Easy Wind’, the third song of the nite, his vocals are PRIMO, I mean it, it’s just perfect in every way. God bless our godfather lol Owsley Stanley for his excellent recording of this intimate performance in LA !!!
Pigpen is the star in this show and Jerry Garcia’s playing is on fire! The group as a whole All shine brightly on this release/recording. Just listen to Pigpen doing primo performances of’Hard to Handle’, ‘Turn on your Lovelight’, oh yeah :) a grand ‘Good Loving’ ‘I’m a King Bee’! I love my Pigpen folks, sorry for rambling. Another reason why I love this show is the LOCATION and THE YEAR 1969 part of a primo stash of other unreleased performances. ‘Thelma’ was a theater on Sunset strip in Los Angeles right next-door to a club called the ‘London Fog’ where the Doors were once the house band before being fired and then ending up at the ‘whiskey a go-go’.
So it’s a very Internet recording you can hear soft applause from the audience during the performance the recording definitely gives off the feeling of the space contained on that little 50 foot stage. Very grateful for this release, one of my favorite in the Daves Picks Series... :)
Oh yeah, I’m sorry, here is the set-list you asked for BOBLOPES about the Grateful Dead RSD release. Hope it helps answer your question. :)

Did anyone get the bonus disc with the new JGB EEL release? This was the first disc I listened to when it arrived and once again the bonus disc is better or close to better than the release.

When Dick's Pick's Five came out, I was still feeling my way around eras outside of the early 70's but I was totally blown away by that Disc 2...the first half of the second sets just churns, man. It's sooooo good. And then to get that Shakedown > Uncle John's Reprise at the end is like the best giant jam sammy ever.

As for today's Spring '90 (first Hamilton, Ontario show), I am reminded that this is an interesting one for sure and I like it especially the second set. With a gnarly Victim in the first set dissolving into a rare Standing on the Moon that then dumps into a rompin' Promised Land, there are some cool nuances and mood changes to experience. And of course this show starts out with the Half-Step we all know and love from Without A Net. This second set though is awesome especially the top half, with a seemingly random combo of Hey Pocky Way > Crazy Fingers > Cumberland> Estimated > He's Gone. It's all tight and inspired. And as He's Gone is ending, there are majestic bells that probably Mickey is playing, and it sounds like Christmas, or Church, or something....Godly...it caught me totally off guard and was one of those 'moments'....

Listen to Dick's 5 and than listen to RT 3.1. The sound quality difference should blow you away. They definitely continue to improve their process. RT 3.1 is my favorite 1979 release to date.

Looks like we will have the Dave's 30 announcement before we hear any news on 2019 box set.

I know I was totally taken off guard with the PNW box. Even though Bolo gave us the clues, Seven!
