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.

And now the revelry from this epoch, evidenced by the near-studio quality sound captured on two-track live recordings by Betty Cantor-Jackson, lives on, bolstered by Jeffrey Norman's HDCD mastering. It's housed for posterity in a handsome box featuring original art work by Justin Helton. It’s documented in liners by Jesse Jarnow and photos by Grant Gouldon. And it’s ready for a spot on your shelf.

As part of our pre-order for this Dead.net exclusive boxed set, we'll be delivering downloads of each listening party - one for each show included in JUNE 1976 - to purchasers from now until the March 20th release. Order at any time before release and you'll receive all the listening parties to date.

Jim and the 75 show

I re-listened to all of them also and agree. That one is the best of the lot and it was the one I had.

You can check the archive forever, sometimes you just live with what you got. Though, I have (via this forum) been clued in when something better comes along. I think I've re-downed about 6-10 shows.

I went through all these today, I still think this is the best sounding, most complete of the bunch. I see Charlie Miller put up a more recent board, but it's partial.

If you read the notes, this is a board with audience patches and sounds like that to me, i.e. I believe the notes.
I have the Miller too.. One could combine the sources perhaps.. Actually, I have them all.. I haven't given it a deep dive with headphones in years, but this is not an Audience recording except where noted in the notes below. It might not be the best soundboard out there, but... it is what it is and I am not seeing anything head and antlers above the rest that circulates.

Anyway.. I am not partial to any one recording or another. Let me know if you want this or any of the others that appear in the Archive. I appear to have them all.

3) 2 minutes and 51 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 47.758 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

4) 4 minutes and 57 seconds into Crazy Fingers, 3 minutes and 13.540 seconds were missing from the SBD source and was filled in with audio from the AUD source.

13) Timing of this show used the soundboard as the master to which the audience was sync'd to - for the most part the audience ran slightly fast at about .5% which agrees with Rob Bertrando comments about this show. Thank you Rob for a wonderful audience recording.

Pink Floyd & Piper Collection

Sometimes you can be pleasantly shocked. Bought it used for 50 bucks, I think new was 100. But the 'used' section listing on amazon said "like new". Damn thing came today in a nice heavy mylar/comic book type sleeve and WAS new! Like someone like me bought it, ripped it in and stored. I don't think the book has even been opened!

So that was my nice surprise in truth in advertising!

For those in the know, this and the aforementioned new riders will be on gdrive soon.

question?

Just got New riders field trip album. Suppose to be the opening act for Veneta, probably same tape quality,,, etc, etc.

Why does the dead say "Old Renaissance Faire Grounds", but the Riders call it "Temple Meadow"?

Has anyone done a matrix of 6-17-75?

I listened again last night. It's a really good audience tape but far from a board, but me thinks a matrix would be best.

Also, put Crazy Fingers back to back between 6-17-75 and the August show/One from the Vault. The June version simply blows away the August version.

I'm surprised there's no highly recommended single source or matrix for this show. It's a rarity as a performance and shows the Blues for Allah material largely intact but Help without lyrics. Hunter, bless him, must have been scribbling away backstage!

Edit: Happy 4/20 folks, may there be a large nasty bud in every pot. Oh wait....

That Peggy-O is my all time favorite, by far! Jerry at his most melodic, playing sparingly and each solo kinda' mirroring the lyrics.

7~10~89 Giants Box

When I Paint My Masterpiece.

get some
:O)

AJS

Agree and well said.

...and jrf (and slow dog and others), still enjoying the Giant Box, much more than I thought I would. There are some mighty high moments on those 14 discs..

Shipping Notice

Got it! Delivery scheduled for Friday! Great news and it has left the building.
Interesting to me anyway that the box is shipping from CA. Maybe they have dissolved that relationship with the warehouse in TN.
Hopefully this goes smooth for everyone out there.
Spring 90 continues at my house today later. Such great stuff. If you haven't listened in a while, revisit it. Sound quality and performance is A++.

shipping from Ca

At least the shipping notice says shipping from California. I wonder if they cut ties with the warehouse. If so, this is a huge positive.

D'oh

All the stuff I need to get done and I spend two hours yesterday going through cd's.

I was looking at the Real Gone DP29 page and went to my collection to check it out and it was some other show! After much scratching and wtf-ing, I dug all 4 banker boxes out of the closet and started looking thru them all. After a couple of hours realized I was looking at the Dave's Pick folder and NOT the Dick's Pick folder. D'OH!!!

Oh well, back to the head job on my brothers truck.

Happy St Pat

An old Irish favorite - Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan

There's many a man that rode a horse across the western
Plain There's never been one like the Irishman
O'Sullivan was his name
He never packed a shooting iron
The need he never felt
With two shillelaghs always hanging there
A'hanging on his belt
O yippee ki yi oh, me bucko
B'gorrah an yippee ki yo
Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan
He'd give any man a go
(Har the shillelagh
You know we call it the Tipperary rifle
You never have to reload it.)
This bronco-busting Irishman
From the heart of Erin's Isle it was after living peaceful, like
He always wore a smile
But when the smile was leaving him
In a fight he'd
Come unwound Bad cess for any crossing him
They'd wind up on the ground
O yippee ki yi oh, me bucko
B'gorrah an yippee ki yo
Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan
He'd give any man a go
(Why he was so strong was Sullivan
He could put his right hand in his own left pocket
And hold himself out at arm's
Length. No man could do that
It's O'Sullivan I'm talking
About. Oh, well he could.)
At throwing the rope for branding calf
He was a mighty man
At throwing his two shillelaghs now
The fastest in the land
T'would be a sad mistake me boys
To reach for a 44
Before you could get the hammer cocked
He'd have you on
The floor
O yippee ki yi oh, me bucko
B'gorrah an yippee ki yo
Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan
He'd give any man a go
(Did you know O'Sullivan played the Irish Harp?
No. Oh, sure, and he did
He put 75 strings on his two shillelaghs
He'd stretch them out 24 feet,and he had four leprechauns
Dancing on them to make the music
Oh, the wonder of it. Sure and he would charm the coyotes out of the hills)
Across the range from morn 'til night
He rode for days
And days
A'fixin' fences here and there
And a picking
Up the strays
A cattle spread he really built
As big as Ireland
Where he could range a million head
And a
Shamrock be his brand
O yippee ki yi oh, me bucko
B'gorrah an yippee ki yo
Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan
He'd give any man a go
A bit of his lip, he back of his hand
And the toe of his shoe to boot
Oh, Two Shillelagh O'Sullivan
(Now if you're ever riding through the sagebrush wilderness
And you suddenly come upon acres and acres of shamrock sprinkled with stardust
Well, you'll be after knowing
That you've just arrived at the O Sullivan spread
Known has the Lazy Leprachauns
Stop in, won't you?
Sure, and they'll give you a belt of Bushmill's.)

Slow Dog Noodle/ hand sanitizer

Slow Dog Noodle, a bathtub full of hand sanitizer that you dip yourself into, that is very very funny! You have a great sense of humor!

Agree, Happy St. Pat to all

I am firmly a Pogues guy, evidence of a misspent youth perhaps. It's not quite the same now that I have outgrown my yellow loose-fitting drunken Irish sweater..

In the spirit.. this will do.

Musha reeum dur a da

I had a boss once I called the bold deceiver. A tip of the glass to him.

Shipped yesterday 3/16

Went to LA prolly getting the plane right now to be delivered Friday 3/20 in PA.

Thanks Dead net.

Hope everyone will be opening up their boxes in good health.

while you wait for the shipment

check out Mirrorball Neil Young

some great rock and roll

and when you get the shipment

listen and let us know about 6/19/76

that dude who needs a smack

"yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayaya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

were they able to edit out that mofo?

and

thank you for posting HSF and Playin' on the listening party, ptb.

Warm up those jet engines...

And find your passports. Its OFFICIAL...Dead & Co. are currently planning their first trip to Europe!!!!

Bad timing...

Europe is shut.

@Angry Jack Straw & Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Yes. Tip your bartenders and servers when they reopen. As everyone probably already knows there is no St. Patrick's Day parade in New York City today which is understandable. Today would have been a good day for hospitality workers across the USA, Canada, and Ireland (elsewhere of course). Instead many of those workers are unemployed. I'll do my part to help them out when this thing blows over.

Now bring on that box set!!!

*76’ Boxsets are on their journey to all of your homes.

... I received the white sweetshirt & BoxSet last night.my good friend works for UPS , Man this sweatshirt is so soft, it feels heavenly & grateful! lol I dig it! As for the box I’m going dig in after my doctors appoint this early afternoon. When I get a chance to get to it all, I’ll give you my review . Be safe be kind my brothers & sisters! 🙏❤️😎

No shipping notice?

Anyone else still waiting on theirs? Really hoping I can get mine for the weekend quarantine.

I Can't Get No Disinfection

Although I hear there's a bathtub full of the stuff somewhere?!

Quarantine - Day 2

Dear Diary,

Things have taken an unexpected turn for the worse here. Despite being well stocked with the absolute essentials, a note of despair has crept into the proceedings. I "awoke" to find a substantial portion of the rum stock missing, and a solitary bottle of hand sanitizer in the icebox behind two heads of cabbage and a grapefruit. I immediately deposited the sanitizer into the bathtub, cursing my own careless oversight.

It was bit of a haze, but somewhere around the 13th or 14th mai tai - I believe in the middle of When Push Comes to Shove of that lovely '87 Giants Stadium show - I only remember fragments, but there was a hockey jersey being pulled over my head and someone was telling one-liners about my mother. I lunged towards the intruder, mai tai in hand, but age and idleness may have finally had their best of me. I was lying there on the floor, my bearskin cap barely perched atop my head, my only solace was the wad of toliet paper affixed to the ruffian's heel as he wheeled and flashed a wicked grin, pulling a sack of my hard-won 4-ply behind him. When i came to I was wearing a vegas jersey and my mai tai had spilled over the horribly rendered logo.

As things stand my stocks have been severely damaged, but hope remains. We're just staring this journey, and having more hand sanitizer and toliet paper out amongst the proletariat must only serve the greater good of mankind.

A hopeful message has arrived in the post and the wells fargo wagon is now expected to bring round a package any day containing a much anticipated boxed set. To rebalance my humors i put on 7-5-78. Thats all for now.

A man walks into a bank wearing a mask....

....Everyone freaks out. "Relax" he says. "I'm just hear to rob the place."
Sorry for your "loss" Slow Dog.

This town...Ghost town

I've just had notification that Faust's gig in London on 8th May has been postponed. I'm waiting now for similar notifications concerning shows by Live Dead 69, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets and the North Mississippi Allstars. Hopefully we will be back to normal by October when we have Deep Purple/Blue Oyster Cult and Patti Smith.

But if you are healthy and not running out of money, social isolation isn't actually that bad. Just needs a change of gears.

I’m in real quarantine

I have what appears to be a standard wintertime cold/flu (been sneezing for 2 weeks, so I knew it was coming). I don’t currently meet the criteria for Covid-19, but what bad timing.
Now I’m really not allowed out in public.

I slept for 12 hours last night, and woke up to dog puke on the floor.....but he’s good now, just ate a bowl of dog food. Now he’s harassing me to play outside but it’s cloudy and wet outside. This wouldn’t be all bad if it was sunny and warm, I could kick back in the sun and roast coffee beans.

Fired up some quarantine tunes - 5-19-74 vinyl.

Looks like my Box has departed Los Angeles with arrival scheduled for the 20th. Hope it gets here early, I have a lot of spare time on my hands.

Fortunately I went to Sam’s Club about a month ago and have a pretty good stash of TP, and went to the grocery store on Friday and got 2 gallons of milk with 14 days to go on the date.

Was going to stop at the beer store yesterday but there was a line in the parking lot because they were limiting how many people could be in the store at a time.
I have 2 cases of various barrel aged stouts aging in the basement, and about 2 cases of various IPA’s, but really wanted another case.
As a back up plan there is vodka, tequila, and rum (not yours Slow Dog) in the cabinet. My neighbor said he has 8 cases of beer so he could help me out if needed.

Bring on the 76 marathon!

Beer Store Run

...also just got back from a beer store run. Seeing stuff about some cities closing down completely, i wanted to ensure I had the most important items ha ha. No, seriously. I'd cry if all of the beer stores were suddenly shuttered - it's not that far off people. Seeing mentions of potentially June/July/August until this darkness gives? That seems crazy at this point, but altruism is necessary and I will do my part.

Bring on the box - similar to others, I am seeing a Friday delivery. Will make for a solid weekend of entrenchment.
Hope folks are faring well and have a quasi-positive outlook.

Sixtus

P.S. Looks like Amazon has begun to limit shipments of only essential items in the wake of the wold events unfolding. $hit is getting real if it wudn't already!

Ha..

I have returned all the rum and parked a recently borrowed, fully stocked, refrigerated beer truck where the Benz and Beamer were parked.

Well done Sir.

Get better Cone Kid. Best of luck to all. Was watching the news in between calls today and a t-shirt caught my eye. "Don't Forget Kindness."

Be Well, Beer, and kindness

Kid, be well mi amigo, hope it’s just a cold, watch your temperature!
Beer, remember folks you can never have too much, but you can have not enough!

Saw a waitress a few weeks ago wearing a shirt that said “kindness is cool” believe it was her uniform.

Slow Dog, careful, the basterds are everywhere! Sounds like you need some high powered weapons. I mean good god man, if their taking your TP that’s bad enough, but your personal Rum stash! There’s not a jury in this land would convict a man for defending that!

Shipping notice

I received my shipping notice yesterday. Delivery due next Monday 3/23. My birthday is 3/22 so what better present could there be? I was surprised to see that it was going to take 1 week when usually it is 2-3 days. But when I used the UPS tracking no. I saw it is coming from Cali so that explains it. I am very happy that hopefully they will now ship everything from Cali and control things better. After all, they could not have gotten much worse then the past couple of year's cluster fucks! I am VERY pumped for this one. Should be awesome.
Rock on

SlowDogNoodle

Good stuff man. "Stuffed me into a hockey jersey and telling one liners about my mother" 😂😂😂😂

You should put those up on a blog. Probably no one would read it except us, but at least we could get to it without scrolling back through hundreds of old comments.

Got mine as well

Got the shipping notice last night, due on Friday! Woo hoo!! The email said it could be delivered in multiple packages, I sure hope not!

Kindness & St. Patrick's Day.

Irish greeting: God Bless All Here!

Yes this is a good time to practice kindness. I remember those "Mean People Suck" t-shirts from years ago. In the spirit of The GD community: Positive Vibrations to everyone and Love, Light, and Holy Spirit too!

Feel better Icrecreamkid and get lots of chicken soup(Jewish penicillin?), garlic and onions.

Thanks deadagad and others

Had homemade chicken soup for lunch.

Not sure if lots of vitamin C actually works, but for those who think it does, here’s my recipe for that remedy:

Juice 2 whole limes into a glass
Add a pinch of Kosher salt
Add tequila, triple sec, water, ice, stir well.

Haven’t made one today, but I might later. That recipe also helps soothe a sore throat.

Yesterday I read that some micro distilleries are mixing their alcohol with aloe and giving away free hand sanitizer. Paying it forward there.

I made it through 5-19-74 vinyl which was enjoyable, but having to get up and flip sides really breaks the flow of the show. Going back to digital, haven’t picked a show yet.

Did 3-18-71 the other day and it was awesome. I played that a lot when 30 Trips first came out, but hadn’t played it in quite a while and forgot how great it is. Really makes me look forward to the 71 Doc Box that we will hopefully will get next year, if not this fall.

Booze

A bottle of belvidere vodka and a jar of olives and sit back and see who gets their 76 box first. In a few days for sure.

Dear Bob & Phil . . .. Reunite Furthur!

It would be so incredible during this time of trouble for you guys to get up to Mount Tamalpais with a reunited Furthur fo a live concert without an audience of course. Perhaps we could have former Democratic Presidential Candidate Contender Marianne Williamson host this event too?

Because Love & Furthur will defeat this Covid 19!

Just a thought.

Although I hear vitamin c via Margaritas can help too!

Motivational graffiti

Just saw a picture on the CNBC app (didn’t say where the photo was taken) but someone wearing a mask is walking past graffiti that says “we will get by, we will survive”.

When the going gets weird, turn to Good Ol’ Grateful Dead.

Outer Shipping Box

I don't mean to sound paranoid, but I'll be wiping down the outer shipping box with a Clorox disinfectant wipe before handling...and then washing my hands very well afterwards. Think of how many people have handled the Boxes. Others may want to do the same...especially those with underlying health issues. One epidemiologist on MSNBC stated Corona can live on cardboard for 4 days...or longer? (I don't know why they tested it with cardboard).

I know we're having all sorts of info being thrown at us, but better safe than sorry.

Sorry to bring anyone down.

And here we go....

....Nevada's governor is going to make an announcement in about an hour. And i bet it's not about a box set.

Davestrang

I think the cdc tests certain surfaces like porous, painted, aluminum, non-porous, dermal, and the like to make sure they have a guide to let the public know how long viruses live on these surfaces. It's a good idea you mentioned this because it could happen this way. The postal service and other entities have a notice on their sites that precautions have been taken to make sure the employees use latex gloves when handling mail and parcels. They also said the warehouses of companies are sanitized and treated with the proper chemicals. Peace.

Another good use of limes

Mojito!

I have a mint plant and all other necessary ingredients in the house, so whipped one up.

Carlo13

Thanks for the info. I'm happy to hear The USPS is taking precautions. The epidemiologist did mention how long it could live on other surfaces, but cardboard stuck out to me since I was in shipping/receiving for 25 years and have handled tens of thousands of boxes.

Kansas is the 1st state to officially end the school year. Unfortunately I think there's far more coming...and with that I'll conclude my Corona conversation.

Last 5s

Shipping Notice

Nice, got a shipping notice this evening, says to expect delivery Friday so woohoo could be listening to this box soon. Slow listening day - Last 3 - Flaming Lips / Kings Mouth, Bon Iver / Forever Ago, Tame Impala / Slow Rush.

Last fives....

....I have four rolls of TP. Close, but no cigar.
Seriously, I'll post a real last five after I digest what I just heard. Vegas just got the 30 day announcement. 30.
I NEED this box, if just for sharing with my neighbors. Open the windows!!
No shipping notice for me, but it'll come.

On A Lighter Note...Keith Richards diagnosed with Corona virus

...the virus is under 14 day quarantine.

Hey Keef!

Get well soon brother.

Don't worry deadegad....

....that was a joke. Saw a similar one with Chuck Norris instead.

Funny I Googled it and went to Keith's webpage . . ...

And found nothing regarding this Keith is is ill business . . .. Then I went to the IORR webpage and also found nothing. Of course we all know that Keith cannot be killed by conventional means but . . .. Man, I got Punked'! Where's Ashton Kutcher?

Still, man, I hope Keefs got enough toilet paper, and, uh, rolling papers, I guess.

Shipped

Box has shipped to UK. No tracking available for international order so I’ll just wait while it makes its long strange trip. Our trip to Algeria has, understandably, been cancelled so I expect to be home whenever it arrives. It’s 5AM here so I’ll do a last 5 when I’m properly awake. Keep safe

You see, I done fucked up....

....made a serious effort to listen to every Spring 90 and TOO on their anniversaries last year. Did pretty good. But that was the 29th anniversary. 2020 is the 30th, and now I don't really want to chase that golden ring because a fresh box is days away.
Someone said Flaming Lips. Why not?
Please be safe out there people.
