    Oro, Hershey and the bird

    I thought Jim was at Hershey also?

    Oro, glad you reinforced my memory. Sometimes I'd tell people about the pure "sonics" of a show and you'd get that look. Another sonic memory is a Halloween show in Columbia(?). Small venue, classic theater v shape. They had speakers arranged on stage, but also in the rear corners. Encore, I believe, they did Werewolves of London and when Bobby did the wwwwaaaaawwwwoooooo … werewolves of London, the sound wrapped around the theater as they brought the two corners up. It was a wow moment.

    Saw the poetry, I remember the Gooney Bird..... and Merriweather.

    Was around that time we went to an Island you crossed an old RR bridge to get to. That was a nice place. (yes I could look up this info, but I'm too lazy right now)

    I'm sure this is a great show and recording. Who knows if I will ever receive it. Looks to be lost in the mail. GDM says they are looking to send me a replacement. So far, no replacement sent. Definitely the last time I buy a subscription

    Sound of Silence

    It gets on my tits when people start (and often never stop) talking at gigs. In fact I am not crazy about talking in general. Since the advent of mobile phones etc people can't even shut up for 5 minutes when they are on there own in England. Oftens the time I slump into a seat on the train, get out my book, and then have to shut out the sound of someone talking bollocks at the top of their voice to someone on a phone. It would be nice if we could have a national day of silence. No talking for 24 hours. Bliss.

    No Dave's picks in England yet, but that's to be expected. So much for this "special relationship " between the U.S and the U.K. that they keep banging on about.

    Miscellaneous ramblings of a lunatic

    CARLO: “ smells like a pine tree in a can” your making me thirsty! On cold meds so no alcohol going on almost 2 weeks now, Dooooooo!
    33 EYES: definetly and edit glitch

    BOOBIE DAZZLER: I actually “borrowed” that from Gary Draiton on The Curse of Oak Island, currently our favorite show. The guy cracks me up.

    D&C: you’d think either before or after they’d do at least some West Coast shows...

    35 LEFT FIELD: “that would be something”, hopefully with the success of the giants box they’ll feel more comfortable about branching out. And I’ll take any well done Matrix!

    CLAMS: mistakes, clunkers, F.U.s, are all very technical musician terms, lol, or as Phil would say, no such thing as a mistake, only an opportunity to take the music somewhere else.

    OTIS: right on!

    STLOTZY: 😃😃

    DENNIS: 😃 yuck, yuck, and great Hershey story/description. Personally, I lost my shit in Hershey, lol. Actually saw a homemade tee-shirt that said that, I wanted it so bad...I know some folks kinda underrate this one, but it’s always been a fav of shows I was at. The Dew was a personal favorite, perhaps the Live fav...But that Estimated is a Boobie Dazzler for sure! I distinctly remember during EP it stopped raining enough for them to start removing the plastic tarps protecting the PA Speakers, by the time the build up in Terrapin came round, between that and Healy turning it up, the sound got real nice and loud. We were standing right in front of him and thus goading him until then to turn it up, so eventually he did. The moon came out and man that whole Terrapin, drums/space was intense. Definitely utilizing the surround matrix as Dennis described, but also Healy’s custom auto pan, and ? something that could move the sound forward and back, similar to 3D immersive audio that’s a current AV trend. But this was some cool shit as you could literally hear sounds coming out over our head and move towards the back, and the back suddenly toward the front, or even hover right over our heads. I remember turning around and grinning at Healy and his grin was even bigger! Hard to describe but amazing freaky shit. Heard similar at other surround setup gigs, especially cool when near the SB! Like Jim says, if only we had better recordings of those years!

    8/6/74: bobt, Bob’s rather chatty throughout that one, and pretty hilarious how he has to scold the kids, Stoltzy would be proud 😉

    Happy Friday folks! Hope I make it home as we’re getting ponded pretty good up here. Im working on a north facing slope about 10K above sea level, and its “puking” as the locals say...so hope I make it home as I received the mighty Ref 3 back from its maker and my new DAC late last night. Hope to give 33 etc a real workout tonight, perhaps with some Scooby Snacks, lol 😎 Sooooobbbyyyy ruuuueee!

    It came through pretty clear in the tapes.. great Morning Dew.

    I think they have two different music venues in Hershey Park.. Hershey Park Stadium and Hershey Park Theatre. I saw Bob Weir alone and acoustic at the theatre opening up for Bob Dylan a few years ago. Great little venue, great time. Both performers were quite excellent.

    Hershey Road Trip 85

    No, it's not an adult title. I have a nice soundboard (and audience) of this show. Yes I was there with a group. We rented a van and about 8 of us packed in. We spent the day in the amusement park tripping balls. Made my buddy sick on a spinning ride. Started drizzling while in the park, hit the gift shop and we all bought these cheap Hershey ponchos. Big garbage bags with holes in the top and arms with a glued on sack for the head. They were covered with pics of Hershey candies all over them. Everyone in show wanted to know where we got them, guess they only sold them in the amusement park gift shop,,,, lucky us!

    They had the band set up in the end zone, front of stage at goal line. They were running a quad sound system with speakers towers on all four corners of the end zone. During Estimated during the wah-wah section they moved the sound around the four speaker towers, diagonally, front to rear and circles. wah-wah, wah-wah, wah-wah. We were in top row of bleachers at the 50 yard line (place wasn't that big, like a high school football field) You could hear the sound moving around,,, wow (like said, tripping balls) My log book shows an incredible morning dew. But I think the estimated will ALWAYS be remembered.

    Great show.. Dennis has a trip report somewhere. I have a good board of that show.. Send a PM if you want it.

    '85 is one of those years I wished they recorded well on Reel to Reels. Can you imagine how different things would have been if Bear didn't get busted both in '68 and again in '70? We'd have more Reel to Reel recordings to be sure. There's momentum to make mushrooms legal in Washington DC. Baby steps but progress nonetheless.

Anyone who, like me, has been to Bangladesh will be aware that the overriding "perfume" of Bangladesh is the smell of shit. A noseclip of the sort favoured by synchronized swimmers is a possible solution. The cheesy smile is not obligatory.

Why would an asian spammer trying to sell perfume consider dead.net to be a potentially lucrative market?

Could be the smell of Patchouli attracting the perfume peddlers. They think we are an easy target. Interesting enough, patchouli is species of plant which is derived from the “deadnettle” plant family. One can’t make this shit up!

And vguy...seeing that I already have some enamel pins. I think I will opt for the bolt condomns that I can wear with shorts. Oro is right...i look cool just thinking about it!

I got them old cosmic blues again. Darkstar, you are right on so many things, except some don't have a choice, and they are the ones who need the assistance the most.
I had a many paragraph post typed up for a response to your post, but I deleted it, as we all know, "it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world". This was said in a film that was released in 1942.
Shipping mailers, hey, anything to reduce cost, right? I don't expect there will be an increase in the production numbers next year for this series. I do expect a price increase soon tho.
I stand by my statement, may be the best show of 77, and it has a space too, short, but very sweet. I have not researched it but this could be one of the first jams actually labeled "space". I love to get lost in space. Space is the place. I had something on my mind, but I spaced. Some say some of my posts are just wasted space. I love it when Jerry goes out into space, more space please.

I can always use some new pint glasses and coffee cups.. especially insulated stainless steel and Tervis tumblers with a nice skull and roses on them or something.

My go to coffee mug is an insulated stainless steel Morning Brew mug.. but it is dented, old and the writing is beginning to chip off to become unrecognizable.

Maybe I will wrap the beat up mug in a the always stylish bolt-condom sock and give it a facelift.

Lots of twos. I bet this doesn't happen often. If you took the average, wouldn't it be 11/11/1111?

Spent the day yesterday with my supermodel ex girlfriend. I'm ok with being friends with benefits. This show is as good as I remembered.. but I still prefer the Swing over this and Cornell. I am also looking forward for #34.

I do like someone's previous comment, might have been IceCreamConeKid?? I forget.. something like Dekalb is a nice transition from 77 to 78 where they took the polished feel of Spring 77 and stretched the sound out as far as they could without completely jumping off the tracks whereas in 78 sometimes the train left the rails.

I can buy that. Was he playing Wolf or the Travis Bean for this show?

Edit: Or would the average be 01/01/1010?

Yes, Jim, I’ve been to NOLA on a hot, humid June day. There was a thunderstorm as my plane was approaching the airport. By the time I got to Bourbon Street about 2 hours later the sun was out and baking the place. The water was evaporating off the streets making it real humid. Water was draining out of trash dumpsters into the street, then getting heated by the sun and evaporating, filling the streets with Parfum de Landfill.

No, Jim, I did not write the description of 77>78.
But I don’t seeing anything wrong with playing on the edge.

Nice palindrome Jim.

DaP 33 has Space as a separate track, but Phil and Drums (about 3 mins) is included as St. Stephen. I may need to separate that when I put the show on my computer.

Okay, I know I said I wasn't doing scans of Dave's 33, but when #18988 got here AHEAD of schedule yesterday, I couldn't resist. Here's a link to all the Dave's covers I've done – scroll down to my corrected scan of Dave Kloc's artwork:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qx5j9ydoc7bzm8z/AAD8yK_vCv_kQ-oLkLJQVCEla?dl…

(And check out Kloc's website at https://www.davekloc.com/).

Just getting started, but from what I’ve heard so far, Dave's 33 really is going to be a face-melter. Hope I come back to reality in time for the kickoff! My bet's on a cool sixer of Deep Ellum IPA. . . Onward.

A few accessories if I may. “To obtain the full dapper hipster appearance, one needs short, tight, Levi cutoffs with obnoxious boxers sticking out the bottom about six inches, with white knee socks, a huge pare of old school leather Italian hiking boots (lace color optional), GD tee shirt, a very dapper paisley vest, topped of with a stylish hat (no ball caps!) a real hat is needed!

#14701 in the house and no skips or imperfections. Safely burned into iTunes. What an easygoing show with a great vibe, and the sound is delicious.

Getting prepped for our annual Super Bowl party. Wife out getting groceries and I have the absinthe station all set up.

Despite the Dead's connections to San Francisco, I'm going for the Chiefs myself. I consider Patrick Mahomes the best player on that field today, but he's going to have to step up big and toss at least 4 td's to get past the Niners.

My oldest son is wearing his San Fran jersey white side out to spite me. Ah, youth...

....yes. today is 02.02.2020, but lest not forget. It's 33 days into the year. 333 days to go. 🤔 3's.

With 2/15/73!!! I know it is not a returned Betty but it is always like an old friend you haven't seen in a while. Once i start listening to it. especially Dark Star>Eyes, I'm always like why did i wait so long!!!

....equals super food. Fajitas, guac, margaritas are prepping. Mrs Vguy didn't want the Dead playing though. I asked her what do you feel like listening to? She said Journey. Admittedly, it has been a while since I've listened to them. Happy wife, happy life.

I could see 2/18/71 Capitol Theatre and 2/9/73 Maples Pavilion getting released soon. All those new songs.. and the slinky, bouncing, loping Eyes of the world. Might not be the best ever but might be just about the perfect time.

Anyway, random thought.. back to your regularly scheduled programming and absinthe consuming rituals (Louche??)

I like the idea of a 1969 diversion. Who keeps starting all these naughty rumors?

I listened to the October 29th 1977 show a few times on soundboard starting a couple of years ago after a particular regular poster here recommended it to me. Eyes of the World I recalled being one of the best from the post Hiatus era.

Listening to it now for the first time on the official release platform and really enjoying the sound. Jerry's coming through loud and clear, so much so I'm thinking it's the Wolf. I'm not sure at what point in Fall '77 he put down the Travis Bean - certainly by December as indicated in the Dick's Picks 10 liner notes, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what we're listening to here.

While I prefer Keith on the grand piano or Fender Rhodes, he's mixed pretty nicely on this one. He tends to come through a little bit hot on some of these Fall releases, but this is perfect (and much better than the synth-organ he was using in the April / early May timeframe - I'm thinking Polymoog - man that one drove me nuts - very prominent at Cornell). Actually, Keith did just get kind of loud on New Minglewood Blues, but he has it in Jazzy funk mode - not bad. Pretty sure it was a Yamaha. Also pretty sure he had no choice in the matter, just going by different articles I've read.

Yeah, so far so good....

for the "meet up at the movies" this year i don't think anyone would complain if it was in black and white as long as the show rocked!? plus is there anyway that you all can get the theaters to guarantee a certain volume? (george lucas does it) both years i've went we had to complain about it being down too low. The first year they turned it up and man that theater was rockin' we had people dancing everywhere, it was flippin' awesome! Last year they had it at med-low volume but wouldn't make any adjustment. dissapointing... i mean we're goin to see a concert. I don't just want to hear it I WANT TO FEEL IT!!!! My system at home get's louder than what it sounded like last year. So what's the point? I'm gonna try one more time but if they do that again this year it will be the last time i go. Please you guys, try and get them to understand that WE ARE GOING TO SEE A CONCERT! thanks!

My DaP 33 coming today. Can't wait for the weekend! Will be my first time hearing this show and gonna make it special occasion if you know what i mean. 😛 []🤏🏻

This is suppose to be "upper eshelon" so i want to see if dave really knows what he's talking about or he's just blowin more smoke. You guys think this one's worth a trip down memory lane? I mean every release that comes out he hypes to death, but i have a good feeling about this one. It's '77 so it can't be that bad, plus it's got space. You don't see space to much in '77 so... but, i mean, they're saying this is in the same league as cornell??! But to me that's what cornell was missing WAS space. Because If i was trying to turn someone on to the dead i mean cornell was an awesome show but no space! space to me is part of the whole grateful dead experience. I can remember back in the 90's when i got on the bus my buddy had a tape and when it went in to space we were just like whoooaaa! ;) kinda separated them from other bands. all good though.

Sorry, I was unable to comment over the weekend(received Dave's 33 Saturday!!). Only through disc 1 so far, but excellent in every way, and I agree that the Let It Grow is one of my favorite LIG's already(also love Dire Wolf & Ramble On Rose).
Regarding leaving a show early, in 1981, I took my then wife to see XTC at the Bayou in D.C. Their bus broke down on the NJ Turnpike, so the show started LATE. My (now EX) wife had to go to work early the next morning, so we left about 1/2 way through XTC's set.
Starting the next day, she was NEVER asked to accompany me to another concert. Problem solved.
Thank God I got to see them a 3rd time in MD just prior to the end of their touring days in 1982.
Looking forward to 2nd set tonight!!
