    It was a separate CD. I have but I don’t have all my gear unpacked and running yet or I’d gladly burn you a copy.
    If your still looking in say a month, send me a PM and I’ll send you one.....or when I get set up I’ll try to remember and see if your still in need.

    CJ and The groove

    No, no mi amigo, I was agreeing with you....not too fast or slow, just find the groove........just enough anticipation to keep em wanting more, but no so long that they lose interest lol
    Your doing fine! As always enjoy good tour stories from any era!
    And as far as marathon drinking, I mean literally days, like once we went on for almost four days without sleeping, and only minimal enhancements. Just enough going on to keep the fun level high enough and just enough beer to keep the buzz going but without getting wasted etc.....as I say “don’t try this at home kids!” We were young and invincible then, but mostly we were professionals, and had one of the greatest tutors of all times, Klondike Keek and his Mediterranean mad men, aka The Booze Brothers! Ironically he died at 42 right after he quit drinking....
    Staying up for several days on its own can be very interesting, but I don’t recommend any of this!

    Seasonal Beer; definetly different brews are perfect for specific seasons. If you really get in that flow with nature it’s pretty cool as your body will start to inform you “hey, it’s barelywine time” etc...certain heavy stuff around the holidays, other hardy brews for the long haul of winter....Barelywine around February when there is at least a glimmer of the longer sunny days and a promise of spring, but still cold enough for the heaviness. Then a little later it’s time for Bock, then some nice strong ipas, like a new one for us Freemont Mountain Daisy, yum, then the nice light refreshing stuff for the dog days of summer. Fall we start to swing back to the fuller stuff, Porters, Stouts, and your Oktoberfest etc, and as the weather turns and starts getting colder our bodies like the heavy stuff to fatten us up for winter, which means time for Anchor Xmas beer, my all time favorite! We drink that pretty much all year except when it’s real hot, which is when I like the Anchor Liberties but can’t get here anymore, bastards!
    Speaking of Hot and beer, it is best in an ice chest! The fridge just doesn’t seem to get it cold enough, so there nothing like a cold frosty out of the ice chest.
    Conekid will like this....the only kind of swill beer we’ll still drink is PBR, the official beer of the aforementioned Boozebrothers back in the day!......but it’s only good for like a week or 2 during the peak of summer, and it MUST be outta the ice chest! Careful, not too many though as it’ll eventually rot your gut, No Bueno!

    Seems to be many formats running around. Looks like you can get the 4cd set. Looks like you can get a one dvd copy of the show (in 5.1 sound :-)) I see ebay has a sealed copy, seems to be a two dvd set.

    Who bought this when offered? Was the "bonus" disc a cd or were the bonus tracks on the dvd.

    Out here and searching.

    Hey now on that line stuff. They were doing that crap towards the end (94'-95). What do you think they do with that stuff? Of coarse they jumped inside the bag as soon as it was out of sight. They probably used the same excuse as the nazis. Just following orders.

    The Vinyl Fillmore 69 saga and...

    I too ordered a copy from Amazon, time went by and seemed to be no movement. Got worried I was gonna get stiffed so I searched out other sources. Barnes and Noble had it for a few bucks less, so I ordered and was gonna wait to see who shipped first and cancel the other. This morning amazon acted like "oh almost here, almost, we can see it", further down in mail there's Barnes & Noble saying we shipped and should have Wednesday. Still haven't canceled Amazon. I gonna gleam thru these emails closely and check tracking numbers. Hope I don't end up with two.

    On another note. Someone here talked about Reckoning and the "expanded" addition and the tracks that were on there. So I went, hmmmmm. Checked my copy and found I didn't have the "remastered and expanded" copy. I was like shit and went in search of. Found a copy and order. Should be here today. A day later (+/-), someone mention the extra tracks on the closing of winterland. Something like NYE Winterland. So I went in search of. I don't think I have the bonus disc tracks. I swore I had the disc. So into the closet and I start pulling out the my many boxes of cd's (luckily the dead get their own boxes). First box I open and what do find,,,,,, an unopen copy of Reckoning Remaster & Expanded!!! DAMN! I did find the closing of winterland. My buddy must have bought it. I have the disc and the dvd's,,, I don't seem to have the bonus tracks. Now I need to go in search of them. Anyone out there got a copy of the bonus stuff?

    What I need to do is start of list of ALL official releases and check off what I have so I don't have to search the closet anymore. Also what I found is I need another stack of banker boxes! I think I have about 2 boxes worth of cd's sitting on the sink waiting to be filed(?), stored(?), stuck in a fuckin box?

    The Gorge always sounded and looked so beautiful but that line Nazi stuff is for the birds. I'd bet a dollar a doughnut that black bag was empty and divided up among the security assholes!

    Berry Beer, 69 Road Trips & Marathons

    Oroborous - point taken on not going too slow...reminds me of this song I know - Long distance runner, what you standing there for? and then something about Dead to the Core...how does that song go? Anyways, I will try to step on the gas....

    Did someone say 69? Believe it or not, I am currently rolling not west, but south down 69 highway in KS, heading to the lake. No, KF, I’m not texting and driving. Mrs Casey gets carsick so this guy almost always has a DD! More on her motionsickness later...a little foreshadowing for ya!!!

    Berry Beer - I am normally an IPA guy, and in fact kinda like my GD listening habits, that’s pretty much all I drink, however, as my self consuming friend says, summer time is different, especially when it’s a hot day on the lake. IPA can start to feel a little yucky on the tummy if ya know what I mean and that can lead to other problems...I digress....I do have 6 (or maybe 8) of those tasty bastards in my cooler though and contrary to this other tune that I know, they will not survive! Don’t worry folks, i don’t plan to do any Marathon drinking, at least probably not: and I have also packed a whole buncha water so I plan to hydrate between beers. My daughter and I are hooked on the bubbly stuff that we buy in bulk from Costco. No not Champagne people, get your minds outta the gutter. I’m still talking about water!!!

    Back to 69...I have digital copies and vinyl. Been a while since I’ve listened to the digital copies, so I will have to do that and give a comparison of the vinyl up to his point, however from my recollection the digital copy was damn good. The vinyl is also damn good, so AGS, I don’t think you can wrong with either, or as Jim says the last one you listen to is probably the best.

    Well I should probably get back to Truckin down 69, but wanted to check in cuz my reception is generally bad in the parts of the universe where we’ll be floatin this weekend. I do have The Complete Roadtrips downloaded on my Spotify account on my phone so if all goes well then I’ll be catchin up on some GOGD this weekend!

    Summer tours over, but summers still here folks....Play it loud and proud!

    KCJ

    Almost forgot...with risk of hurting some feelings, I will say that if you like IPA, I’m convinced that the best in the country is from a little brewery in Iowa called Toppling Goliath...they specialize in IPAs and although I’ve not been there, I’ve had the opportunity to try several of their IPAs. They are super tasty...and yes in my cooler. My favorite is probably the Psuedo Sue....give it a try if you get a chance! Now back to your regularly scheduled slow roasted coffee and 69 FIllmore West!

1/2 again last night....can’t get enough of that Disc 3!

Delfest; heard it’s a great place/vibe.....sorta reminds me of Rocky Grass only more green then Red!
Did you see Del? Man I love those guys, especially the boys when they let loose on their own....
Had the pleasure of opening for them in 2007, and they always used to eat breakfast at the place we go to during Rocky Grass. They are even nicer in person. Can’t say enough good about them. Great people, and legendary musicians! Folks, If you’ve never seen them you might want to check then out?

The last time, did you have any kind of inkling that it might be the last time?
I believe Vguy said he totally felt something, and we knew something was going to happen. I think our group consensus at Chicago was either he’s going to die, or more probably he’s gonna end up back in the hospital.
The vibe was so heavy everyone of us felt something had to give....sigh. Can’t believe how much I miss the good old vibrant Fat Man, perhaps even more so even after all these years! Hopefully he finally fond peace!

.....i sure did! In fact, on the morning of August 9th, 1995, I woke up suddenly at 3 o'clock in the morning with a sense of dread. Over the following days, I learned that my touring buddies throughout the years also woke up at that time with the same feeling. I do not believe in coincidences....

Question to all digital downloaders?

Hi there,

I downloaded the ALAC of this digital download but when I import into iTunes it is not recognizing the artist or songs and not creating an album. For the same ALAC download for Pacific Northwest ’73-’74: The Complete Recordings Boxed Set it worked perfectly in iTunes. Why does this download now import correctly? Thanks if anyone knows or can help.

...I just wanted to drop a line my brother and say thank you for all your posts. Your one of The members that I enjoy reading your daily posts! Thank you for all your help pulling the (this) group together along with me, Daverock, Yourself , vguy72 , Keithfan , stolzes ect. You know the people I’m writing about, keep on Rocking my brother! Peace be with you. 🙏😎

Hokey Religions & Ancient Weapons 5/25/77. Anniversary of the birth of Dave's Picks.

This show was already $350 on eBay when I really went over the Dead Edge in 2014. After hearing about its legendary status and seeing its legendary price tag, I tried in earnest to find a copy. I already had both the May and June 1977 box sets, plus Hartford 5/28. But people here there and everywhere spoke of it like Cornell #2 (except it was IN the Vault), and I didn't know anyone on here at the time, and had no clue about archive.org; so I finally asked a guy selling a used copy on eBay if he'd burn me a copy for 35 bucks. He accepted my money.

I was still cherry picking tunes in those days, and had reams of new Grateful Dead music I had purchased from deadnet and eBay, but I listened to this show from the Mosque all the way through. I thought it was every bit as good as advertised. First time hearing Mississippi Half-Step, as I had always skipped over it on the releases I had. Not sure why. But I loved it on 5/25, and to this day am still enamored with the Rio Grandio transition and arrangement, which is nuanced enough to set it apart from others. Still my desert island Half-Step.

The rest of the show is just fantastic, both sonically and performance...ly. Performancey. Performance-like. They played great and sang great. In hindsight, having caught up on the Spring '77 Tour, I still think it's an 11 in a batch of shows that are mostly 9.5 and 10, with 3 or 4 other 11s. But you never forget your first 11, and seriously, this is a flawless perfect performance and set list.

Maybe it's partly the trouble it took me to get it, but this is my fav from '77. I eventually picked up my own copy from a gracious soul here who only wanted $100; if you're still out there, thanks.

5/25/77 is one of my favorite and most played shows. It’s also the only Dave’s Picks that I don’t have a physical copy of. Just can’t bring myself to drop six hundred bucks or more for it, so I’ve learned to live with the lossless files I have.

A hundred bucks though? You lucked out on that one, KeithFan.

My last five full album listens

Reese Wynans and Friends - Sweet Release
Keith Richards - Main Offender
The Replacements - Pleased To Meet Me
R.L. Burnside - A Ass Pocket Of Whiskey
Doors - L.A. Woman

Dead is a constant listen but so much a la carte, not a full show in the last five.

As far as Uncle Dougie's Red Rocks psychedelic dream, the parking lots at Red Rocks are full of kind friends. It won't be that hard. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at that post, what balls. Cop? Heh-heh.

Went skiing at Arapahoe Basin this morning. That is God's country if it ever existed. 79" base over Memorial Day weekend. License plates from all over the country. Good, good times. Peace all.

...good morning my brothers& sisters, this morning I’m starting my day off with a PRIMO recording from 10/27/79 Cape Cod Coliseum, South Yarmouth, MA! David Lemieux states in his notes from the ‘30TATS’ boxset that this show is flawless, and I most certainly concur, man I love the Grateful Dead’s 1979 playing/performances during this pivotal year for the band! Rock on everyone, have a grateful Sunday, peace be with you all!

My eyes lit up at the reference to R.L. Burnside by Ledded recently. A Ass Pocket of Whiskey is great, but in my eyes, even better is the live one he cut shortly afterwards-Burnside on Burnside. Seriously stomping blues-about as subtle as a bull in a china shop, but one of the best live blues albums I have ever heard.

Deadwise I am still listening to the vinyl I have mainly. The 11/10/67 jam from Alligator through to Caution, the last two sides of the album, must be one wildest jams the band ever played. I went from there to the Playing in the Band from Seattle 5/21/74. The opposite end of the spectrum in the Dead's great pre retirement arc of development. Compared to 1967, this is so refined sounding. What a great contrast in styles of improvisation.

Just dropped by to say, I really enjoyed 2 Jan 70. It had that relaxed, loose but tight and intimate feel that seems to be a hallmark of the Fillmore East nights. And man that Disc 3 classic medley smoked big time. Starts out loosey-goosey, then simply explodes at various points. For my money, one of the best DaPs yet. 3 Jan I found both rugged (St Stephen into Midnight Hour) and wonderful (Alligator, natch, Cosmic C and UJH).

Remembering those who gave their lives for our freedom, and our democracy, today. While astonished to see we're under a tornado watch here in Denver til 9pm. Crazy sh*t!

.... another curve ball from the boyz that was unexpected. My hard wired Dead brain took a sharp left. A WTF? moment for sure. Goes to show, you don't ever know. (Jerry does it better, so they settled on the correct storyteller. Testing the waters?)
That show also features Garcia on some welcoming pedal steel. Maybe that's why they did it. Seeing as how the pedal steel is prominent in that take, Jerry said " I need to concentrate Bobby. You take the mic." Lol. A Summer '69 box would be welcome in my abode. That's when the Dead really started to spread their wings and fly.

My dear old mom was kind enough to not only birth me, but to do so on what's usually a 3-day weekend here in the states. Much better than the day after Christmas for sure. . . I'm starting with the AIDs benefit at Oakland-Alameda on 5/27/89 (happens to open with Touch of Gray, but I'm looking forward to set 2's Truckin'>Drums>Space>I Will Take You Home>The Other One>Wharf Rat>Lovelight). I was 36 on that day 30 years ago. The E Street Band's Clarence Clemons joins in from time to time on sax:

It's been a while since I heard the '89 show, which is why I'm saving Road Trips 2.4, Cal Expo 5/27/93 for later.
Here's a Miller soundboard transfer of that show: https://archive.org/details/gd93-05-27.sbd.miller.27777.sbeok.flac

On this Memorial Day, thanks to all who, over the years, have saved the peace and preserved our freedom at unthinkable cost. Onward.

Let us toast;
Those who gave the most,
Mr Smith, (happy, happy, joy, joy),
and the Amazing European tour of 1972! .......

Listened to 5/26/72 yesterday, and it blows my mind that it was basically Pigs last show......don’t believe he sang at the Hollywood show? Like one minute he was there kicking ass, and the next, poof, gone. Though he didn’t pass for almost a year, it’s almost like he died after this show, such a bummer......ok enough of all that.......

I looked everywhere and was sure I didn't order it, so I ordered Aoxomoxa (picture disc and cd). Just minutes later I found my earlier purchase of same thing! So I guess I'll have 2 copies of both. Can't cancel pre-order stuff, right?

I haven't posted this before, have I?

For the box......
A) let’s guess when they’ll announce it; today, tomorrow, Friday? When??
B) How many folks saw shows on their birthday? I got 11/9/79 and basically was still going strong after 11/7+8/85, but I think those were the only shows I saw in November?

I'm building a bigger mailbox. Looks like June is the month for the orders to come in. Lets see, we got the Aoxomoxoa, we got the Jerry Purple LPs, the Dylan collection, the Warfield collection, the new springsteen disc and the latest Zappa box!!!

Damn mailbox is gonna cost more than the music!!!

especially if you missorderd 2 of everything 😉
Don’t feel bad, had similar situation with the JGB Eel box.

I went on one of my trips to London on Friday to see the mighty Sun Ra Arkestra. Before setting off I checked my ticket for the show, my train ticket, my hotel ticket-and discovered I had booked in at the same hotel twice on two separate occasions! Luckily, I was able to get my money back on the second booking. As my grandad used to say-young people are very kind. Its just that I am no longer one of them!

Maybe we can take solace in the fact that the leader of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Marshall Allen, is now 95 years old and still blowing some of the most outrageous sax solos in the solar system.

....and becomes a portal to jams and melodies when the time approaches. I love my mailbox, even though the occasional bill shows up to ruin the vibe, but I will survive.
