    I had a panic for moment when I thought the 1st disc was defective. My laptop CD drive wasn't reading it. But I think its more a problem with my CD drive --- its taking forever to read and spin up the discs. But they work eventually.

    Got lost in that very deep and Spacey Playing in the Band, only to have it aided out of the cosmos and to a very interesting transition into Dancing in the Street. Love me some disco Dancin. Especially these early nuggets, before the Wawa, having tons of fun with the two drummers. Super-solid show out of the gate for this box. And I can actually finally hear Jerry beautifully. Prior copies of mine of this had Jerry way down, almost inaudible in the mix.

    Peace and resilience to everyone out there and hang in there, those who have delivery woes.

    This is how I prefer to remember Kenny Rogers. Not much on country, hate it, in fact. Plus, the dearly departed Mickey Jones was on drums for New Edition. When Levon Helm quit touring with Bob Dylan and The Band due to the boos, Mickey was the replacement, and became a great character actor. Kenny was a decent actor. Never got to try his fried chicken, but it made for a helluva Seinfeld. Sail on to your Island in the Stream, Kenny.

    And so it continues

    Uuuuugggghhhhh, Box was “out for delivery” at 10:30 at the local UPS just a mere 5 miles away.....then log said “delivered at 7:24 pm”.....NOT!, no box! WTF? All vey strange as we get all our stuff at the PO, that’s how it was addressed? UPS tracking did have a weird log before “out for delivery”: “apartment or address changed”? WTF?
    Funny thing is a truck did stop across the street at about that stated delivery time, but we asked them if they received the wrong package, but alas no.
    Also went to the ole ladies place of business because once they somehow delivered something there that was supposed to be PO. Not sure how they figured that, perhaps because she receives a ton of packages for work they just knew.? It is a pretty small town.
    Spent hours on the phone last night on hold, never even got a person!
    Of course it’s saturday, or I’d go to the local place. Went there last night after the first round of waiting on the phone, said fug it and drive over....”it’s on a truck, they haven’t been to the post office yet, so it will either be dropped there, or it will get delivered, but not sure which”? Huh? I should have asked about the “address change”....idiot!
    So yeah, not to be a bummer, but looks like this lil buckeroo is not getting a box, at least not anytime soon. And of course there’s talk the Governor is going to shut the state down Monday so that means no going to the local shop,
    Uuuuugggghhhhh! I’m really starting to freak out, it’s like everyday it’s something else. Am I cursed? Am I the victim or the crime? Yee-gads.
    Anyway, don’t mean to let my shit wind foul all yalls parade. Sounds like a real Bobbie Dazzler! Enjoy Onward Mates! Through the fog...

    DEADVIKES: glad to hear your Bros ok! On top of feeling so shitty, psychologically it has to be brutal.

    Vikes--good to hear about your brother! Maybe today is the day us Mini-Sotans get our box?

    Kenny Rogers--Double bummer. Today is the day a bunch of us were to gather in person for the 32nd year of drafting our fantasy baseball teams. Long story, but the gist of it is that we have a tradition of singing "The Gambler" each year as part of the silly fun. Can't believe that I woke up feeling cruddy about not having Draft Day, then hear about Kenny. Okay. You needed a diversion, so here's the long part. There used to be a major-league pitcher by the name of Kenny Rogers. He was a real decent pitcher for quite a while, and one year, as we auctioned off this pitcher, someone started singing "The Gambler." One by one, we all joined in. Each year thereafter we would intentionally sing that song when we auctioned off that pitcher. After Rogers retired, we named the draft portion of the day "Kenny Rogers Ultimate Draft" (KRUD), so that we could invoke that name and sing the song. We have had a lot of odd looks from servers over the years as they walk into our party room while we are singing. By the time we're simply drafting players, we have reached the crud of MLB. (still fine players and human beings . . . )

    Jim--sounds like we've gone opposite ways with our brewing! I did all-grain forever, then quit brewing when my sons were young. When I returned to brewing a while back, I did mostly steeped grains with extract. The secret is--DON'T BOIL THE EXTRACT!! My first batch back (E.S.B.) was done that way, and it took Best in Show at the MN State Fair competition (700 entries!). Shortly thereafter my wife and I cut way back on our alcohol consumption, so I decided to start making 1/3 batches--1.75 gallons. So now I usually bottle, given that there are only about 16 bottles per batch.

    Carlo--kegs are expensive, and I have too many. Maybe with some donations by you to some funds set up recently to keep musicians and bartenders solvent in these trying times I would just send you some . . . Let's think about that, eh?

    New Box - YUM!

    76 is some damn fine drinking coffee, making bacon, chillin' at home on a Saturday morning Dead! Almost through 6/10 (in the DEEP of Playin') and I have to say, this box tickles my fancy both song-wise and sound-wise. Sure, there are a lot of repeats, but thankfully, I am a fan of all the songs! Now, a late 90s box with multiple "Wave to the Winds" and "Libertys" - not so much. Still, I'd probably buy it :)

    I arrived home from work yesterday to find #2266 waiting for me in its precious little box. Beautiful packaging. The folks in Rhino's art department continue to stun with their brilliantly executed concepts.

    The slower tempos remind me of Dead & Company. The band are clearly listening to each other throughout these shows, something that would sadly disappear soon enough.

    Anyway it's all burned into the master hard drive now and will inform the rest of the weekend. Thank you, Dave, Rhino, UPS, and... the Good ol' Grateful Dead!

During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band. From it spawned a Medusa head of countless side projects, all deliciously fruitful but woefully not the same as the whole. The chorus lay in wait, pondering the reemergence of their heroes, and wondering if "THE LAST ONE" had really been it...

But in early 1976, Apollonian light and healing would shine upon our intrepid wanderers once again. No more epic battles for the people with cops and lines and tightness, the Dead would return triumphant in smallness, playing intimate theaters and renting equipment along the way. No more ticket scams and greedy promoters, they'd give back with first ever mail-order ticket program, one that had a few kinks to work out but eventually served the fans well.

Musically, June 1976 signaled a Golden Age of harmony and prosperity for the Dead. It marked an Odysseusian-like return for Mickey Hart. Donna Jean was in lock-step with the sirens' call. Jerry and Bob delivered orphic delight with solo musings like "Mission In The Rain" (the only tour they ever played it on), "The Wheel," and "Cassidy," emboldened by group effort. There was fresh repertoire from Blues For Allah, breathing new life to the Dead's continually morphing sound - as Weir once said of the '76 tour, they wanted to play "a little bit of all of it." Old favorites were re-envisioned with cascading tempos and unique sequencing, making the crowd question if they'd ever heard these songs before. And there was comfort and joy in the familiarity of watching the band make it up as they went along. By all means, it was clear that the bacchanalia of live Dead would reign on.

I recently started listening for the first time to shows I attended. I've waited this long for fear that many of them would not be as good in retrospect (especially the '92-'93). But, after listening to 6/24+25+28/91, and after hearing 6/16-17/91 from the Giants box, I'm now thinking that a box of 6/22, 6/24, 6/25, and 6/28/91 would be sweet!

For fans of synchronicity, I started the 6/25/91 show as I jumped on the treadmill the other day, and just as I went to turn up the belt speed from a warm-up walk to a 10-minute mile pace, the Dead sang, "My old buddy, you're moving . . . much too slooow-ow-ow-woh, ow ow woh, owowow . . .

Road Trips Vol. 3 No. 2--Austin 11-15-71
New release available March 27 2020 from ‘Real gone music’
💀Keith Godchaux's only been with the band a month but already he is fitting in like a glove. This fall 1971 show captures the Dead dancing down their improvisational high wire like only they can. On one side of the precipice are the free form jams of their earlier incarnations. On the other are the country-inflected tunes of American Beauty and Workingman's Dead, both released the preceding year. And no sequence captures the tension between the two quite like the first set's 'Dark Star'/'El Paso' sequence, during which the band improbably (and seamlessly) veers from their spaciest song to their most cowboy cover and back again. A true marvel of a medley. Then, speaking of cowboy, the second set goes full-on boots 'n' spurs (the show is in Austin, after all) for its first half-dozen songs, winding up with a barn burning 'Cumberland Blues.' And then another sublime medley of 'Not Fade Away' segueing into a 'Jam' that toys with the 'China Cat Sunflower' theme, followed by a rip-roarin' 'Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad' and back to 'Not Fade Away.' Blair Jackson's liner notes chart the course. HDCD sound mastered by Jeffrey Norman

WOW! What an eyeopener – brings all the shipping madness into sharp focus. The perfect just-so story explaining what most all of us have been on the receiving end of for more than a year. While we can hope and pray Direct Shot eventually gets its distribution-shit together, maybe in the meantime it's time for MaryE to jump on her bicycle and JimInMD to saddle up Mr. Peabody's time machine and start delivering CDs again! Onward.

Thanks for that article. I wasn't aware how widespread the issue was. At this point the only physical media I'm buying is the Dead, local artists in my neck of the woods, and the occasional box set from other select artists. I've gone completely digital otherwise, so I had no idea that this was an industry wide problem.

I guess I've been directing my angst over my missing Dave's 32 at the wrong party. That said, what's the over under on receiving my missing Dave's 32 before the June 76 box? Before Dave's 34? It's supposed to ship out at the end of the month from someone at the Dead offices, so we'll find out soon enough.

Missed 2-11-69 last week so playing it now.

Upcoming anniversaries (commercial releases):
2-23,24-68 DP22
2-22-69 30Trips
FW69 Box
2-26,28-73 DP28
2-24-74 DaP13
2-26-77 DaP29

We’re all going to be busy for the rest of the month.
Not a bad predicament to be in.

Two or three months ago , you mentioned the Freddie King Box Set, "Taking Care of Business", and I've been looking for it since then. I found a new sealed copy on e bay today for $450.00. I snapped it right up. I then went over to Bear Family Records and bought the follow up box set Texas Flyer, before it becomes scarce. They both look really cool and I can't wait to listen to them. Anyways, thanks for mentioning them because I never would have known about them. Garcia said one of his early influences was Freddie King. If you like T Bone Walker, there is a great box set on Mosaic Records, "The Complete Recordings of T Bone Walker 1940-1954". It"s 6 cds and it's still available on the secondary market at a fairly reasonable price. T Bone Walker was great and he influenced the likes of B B King, Jimi Hendrix,Eric Clapton, and many other great guitar players. Anyways, it really swings.

VGuy, as someone who has lived in only Minnesota and Colorado, I have to confess that it pains me to hear people in places such as Las Vegas and Tampa Bay talking about our state sport! :) I always root for the "ice-state" teams to beat the interlopers from places that have never seen natural ice. :)

p.s. Is the Jack Straw opener from 6/25/91 a BOAT version? Maybe . . .

Did someone say best ever Jack Straw?

...now back to you regularly scheduled hockey fight.. Sponsored by Dentists with kids about to go to college.

Congratulations on picking up a copy of "Takin' Care of Business" by Freddie King on Bear Records. I still haven't got this one, although I have most of the material on other cds. But there is nothing like a release on Bear Records - the presentation, books and last but not least - the sound of them. The follow up, "Texas Flyer" the one I do have is superb.

Another good Freddie King release is "King of the Blues", which includes the three albums he made on Shelter records, plus outttakes between the two two Bear Records sets.

There is also a great dvd out called "The!!! Beat 1966" featuring several performances from the TV show of the same name. The stage has great op art 60s décor, there are go go dancers, and a straight white middle aged host who literally runs out onto the stage after Freddie has completed a track, saying things like " Wow man, that was really outtasight! What are you going to hit us with now baby?" Priceless. The music played, though, is timeless. There also a few great tracks of slightly stoned looking Freddie live in Sweden in 1973.

I have a 4 cd T Bone Walker compilation on the Proper Records label, which focuses on his earlier years. I agree - he was a major, and often uncredited, influence on rock n' roll music, as well as the blues rock that followed. Listening to him, you can tell where Chuck Berry and B.B. King got many of their ideas and licks from. And from Chuck Berry and B.B King...to the moon!

I can't take this talk about these box set of Freddie King & T-Bone! My wife's out of town, not out of my life. :-) On the Freddie front I have Best of Shelter Years & TX Cannonball. T-Bone includes Imperial Collection 50-54. Anyone out there with any of these other boxes, hell I'd take a copy. Consider it your off site backup :-)

That 91 (6/25), is a ripper. BOAT is pure opinion, but I'll give you "damn rousing"!

I'm a fixator, I play given songs to death (ask my wife)! I've been playing Little Sadie, from Crooked Still's 11-26-2006 show about dozen times a day! WOW!

I looked through the list and once again no Andy Williams re-releases!

Everyone here only seems to listen to "cool(?)" music. Doesn't anyone listen to schlep vocalist from the 50's & 60's? A little Perry Como (I hear he does a nice haircut), the aforementioned Andy. Maybe a little Johnny Mathis? Any Wayne Newton fans? I have him doing the greatest hits of like 67. My Grandmother used to travel to Vegas every year (drove from Jersey), she RAVED about Wayne's shows and Liberace's. How bout Dinah Shore? When I was coming up these were popular people with my parents generation and NOBODY I went to school with was buying Andy Williams albums! I remember a guy in high school raving about Tull's Aqualung and how I had to hear it. One look at the cover and I knew I didn't need to listen to that book. So what guilty pleasures are in your musical past? Any big musical fans? We went to a family reunion a year or two back. My wife has Missouri family, they always show up with a guitar and ready to have sing alongs. Started in Kansas City from Oklahoma and the only lone voice who knew all the lyrics,,,, me. It startled the crowd to say the least. Me and the wife was on a road trip once and I got into a musical mode and sang every musical ever done for about an hour (and yes, she has stayed with me for over 40 years) I then told her about this 7th grade music teacher we had in school. Remember when you had music class once a week. Music teacher would wheel a piano in, pass out lyrics on sheets or music books (where songs were descripted as "American folk", "folk", "negro spiritual". Well this guy had every musical of the day and we sang them all. I then told Denise, "I guess he was gay?" Her come back, "says the man who's been singing show tunes for the past hour!" I don't why I've stayed with her for remarks like that.

Blather off.

25 years ago was at my final Grateful Dead concert. I better give 30 trips copy a listen today.
My seat in the Delta Center was the very last row. “The first one now will later be last”, It was 9181 days since my first GD concert. Or 25 years , 1 month and 19 days later.
On a side note a tornado blew part of the Delta Center roof off August 18, 1999.
Also Salt Lake City is where Neal Cassady was born. “Born to be, Cassidy”/ Cassady.

How many remember his one-off special to appeal to the younger crowd? Was it ‘ The H Andrew Williams Kaleidoscope Company’? I remember Simon and Garfunkel being on it.

The rest was all Beatles, Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Three Dog Night, Etc. At Least Until Grand Funk Railroad & Black Sabbath came into the picture. "And now there's all this" to quote John Lennon.

Yes, great clip of Freddie King. That's actually from that dvd I was talking about "The!!! Beat" from 1966.

I was trying to think of uncool music that I liked, and was beginning to think there wasn't any. Then I saw that reference to Grand Funk Railroad, and realised I was wrong. I like them. That's now, too, not when I was younger. I only came across their first 5-6 albums last year. Stonking good bass player.

They have a listening party up on the site..

Note sure if I would call it party.. if the audio came with video too showing Lemieux drinking directly from the tap of a keg while log rolling and chasing a surly bigfoot with giant claws and nasty pointy teeth.. I'd call it a listening party.

..or were you talking about a single show stand-alone CD? They don't always do that, that's more hit or miss.

It shows up on the product page, but I can't get it to play. They did email me the tracks from 6/10 & 6/11, got 6/11 today, as a matter of fact. Had to download on computer as it won't download to phone, even though I have winzip on my phone. But even on my computer, the Listening Party play button is grayed out and non-functional. Maybe you really only get the tracks when you pre-order. Don't know how they will entice 12,000 orders with just a ballad version of Friend of the Devil...

Edited to add: the sound quality is just about perfect!

Great link Cone Kid.

"Bong Rattling Bass"

Followed up by Mountain, Mississippi Queen. Leslie West, another great, rotund guitarist.

It was all good until the end.. when I suddenly realized, much like my superego Homer Simpson, that we might not be hip anymore.. at least to the generation behind us.

Well, I can't speak for you Jim, you may be the epitome of hip in the eyes of the next generation, but my 14 year old daughter has repeatedly assured me that I am not hip and she makes a pretty persuasive case sometimes. I'm still not conceding the point.
