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.

Walking Vom

My personal favorite vomit story is from '92, I think. Had tickets to a 4 band show(Big Audio Dynamite, PIL, Live, Blind Melon. Got well oiled prior to arriving. Was drinking the last of my Samiclaus Beer(14% alcohol). Trying to get down the last of the Sami quickly, it came back up. I turned my head to the right, puked on the wall beside me, IN STRIDE, never missing a step. My buddy who was with me said "Did you just Vom"?? I smiled and replied in the affirmative. After the show, we went to a friend's house, did the best blotter I've ever had, and stayed up until daylight. A great night.

Maybe next time, I'll tell the "puked in my girlfriend's bush" story. No, it's not what you think. Get your mind out of the gutter!!
Peace and stay healthy everyone.

Mr Jimmy, GET A GRIP MAN! Remeber, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro! Screw the lecherous thieving bastards! If I wasn’t under a self quarantine beer exile I’d be there in a Cassidy minute. We’d be there before the weirdness even started. But these wort hog string worm suffering inbred imbeciles are probably all ready tripping over each other each other and landing in a great big pile of drooling JP prom night madness....no mi amigo, we’re better off away from these evil bastards. Think Hot Tub, green coffee beans, high powered smoke, and chilled ripple, all powered by a good gawd dang dose of Ge-rateful, fuggin Dead, yes sir my man I’d say you got it on them shlubs,

Imbibing To Excess

Had a few vomit inducing drinking episodes, pissdrunk at least once. To quote Dean Martin, you're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on. Long time since I got drunk, but I remember.

Mayhem and Hoarding

Yeah, I hear you Icrmcnkd. I went to the bank in the supermarket in my town and it was chaos, lines from all the checkouts down into the aisles, no toilet paper of course (why is that the first thing to run out?). Cruised on up to the Missoula Costco for the regular shopping I do every couple of weeks and wow - virtually all of the fresh meat was gone, no TP, and pretty packed with shoppers. I'm pretty stocked up since I generally buy in bulk, but still kind of a weird vibe. Unlike VGuy I only have one freezer though. And this is at a time when Montana has no confirmed cases of Coronavirus, and most of the adjacent states had their first confirmed cases in the last day or two. Crazy.
Edit: Turns out we have 4 cases in Montana as of today.

Re: Italian

I'm actually only about 10% Italian..

To pivot.. I'm just a little deflated because I had the perfect week off, festivities planned. The whole trip being kicked off by a hijacking a full, ice cold, refrigerated beer truck delicately parking and carefully hiding it under the hemlocks out back . Alas, my plan was been foiled by some clever lurkers here, the only place I still hold trust..

And somewhere up North.. perhaps a mere 8 or 9 hour drive there is a raging party with a big screen TV, lots of folks we know carrying on partying down with plundered pilfered ice cold beer from the stolen neighborhood beer truck from down the street, dispensaries abound.. and no invite for me. I bet tomorrow we hear of some mighty fine puking stories. Out of respect.. folks, please PM the puking stories from tonight, I am very week and emotionally fragile after the loss of my beloved, stolen, refrigerated beer truck.

True.. I cannot prove KCJanes stole the beer truck moments before I intended to steal it myself, True, he drove it directly to central Mass where the real fun apparently is. But..., honor amongst thieves I don't hold a grudge. I am just a little down for not getting the invite. I have been checking my PMs twice a minute since 10:02 yesterday morning hoping I could gleefully share in the plundered spirits.. but no.. Thirsty as I am, apparently there was not enough to share. I get it.

argh.. to late to drive anyway I am giving up..., reaching for the last bottle of ripple in the wine cellar. Sort of like celebrating Christmas alone while a party rages next door.

Nevermind.. have a great weekend all. Just me and some ripple. cold. tired.. I'll be fine. Really. man, this is a nice brokedown palace they are playing. I never realized just how lonely and sad this song is. Hunter was a genius. A depressed, lonely, sad genius, but a genius nonetheless. So much to be thankful for. Kumbayahumbug.. thud (forehead coming to a sudden rest on the cold cement floor of the basement).

Beers, green, tunes, and madness

RougeDeadGuy: Nice Tunes!...and yeah, that’s why they call it the “Green Rush” Good Work, Keep your eye on the beat son!
VGUY: Dave’s 16, perhaps my favorite? That DS is a real Boobie Dazzler. And speaking of cases, stocked up on a hole plethora of liter stuff. The weather has finally started to change and with the extra day light we’ve been hankering for some lighter stuff: Surly, Mod Pod, Can O Bliss, Pilsner Urquil, Arrogant Bastard, Narwhal, WtFO, and finally able to score some Kalamazoo Stout....yum, quaffing the fresh as we speak!
Life’s been so weird lately, I’m considering putting my self in a self quarantine beer exile!
No Hockey! Shit, I haven’t had time all season, was really looking forward to the playoffs...Sabre’s suck, but the AVs were looking good, bummer!
ConeKids Vault...are you referring to Music, or beer? Bet you have a “primo” stash of both eh!
Happy Fiday folks, be safe and play Dead

All-In for Scooby-Doo Dark Star Vguy

I just geared up for a walk and put on Spectrum Specters Rebooted (aka 1973 Spectrum show Dave's Picks + my own bonus tracks snucked in); but heck if you're going with Scooby Doo House, that works for me. Change in venue coming right up. They're pretty much the same way week anyway right? May as well start with Disc 3 and get straight to the face melting stuff.

Vomit stories... Where do I even start. I think I already told the one about the Hotel balcony New Year's Eve in Montreal. That was the night it was so cold you couldn't even walk two blocks to the next bar without your face getting freezer burned. I forget what floor we were on but it was high up. Pretty sure the vomit froze before it hit the ground ( all 10 times between 4 and 9AM).

Rolling Stones Bridges to Babylon tour. I wasn't planning on going but changed my mind the day of, due to all the excitement on the radio. Usually within 24 hours of the show all the tickets sharks sell their inventory back to Ticketmaster, so there are some good seats available at face value. Ended up going by myself. Not an unusual occurrence. Concert parking lots are the easiest place to make friends. So I got there about an hour and a half early, got nice and primed (balloons were everywhere). Didn't have any weed but fortunately the guy next to me inside did. He got his ticket that day too, and was also solo, so he was more than happy to share. We split three nice size fatties, along with some other seagulls nearby. He was good to go halfway through the last one (and so was I), and he said keep it. So I put it in my pocket for later.

The show was magnificent. Our seats were great. Spent an hour in the Vet Stadium parking lot afterward, just waiting for the traffic to let out - so more Rolling Stones balloons it was. Oh and I forgot, this dude had a flask too, so I was pretty well loaded. Finally ran out of cash and got in my car to go home. There was still a line of cars trying to get out of the lot. I would say it was about 10 minutes later that I finally hit the road and ended up, I think on Packer Avenue. Traffic was stop-and-go on my way to the Walt Whitman Bridge back to Jersey.

And I started feeling queasy... so about a minute later I determined the traffic was stop-and-go because there was a cop directing traffic to the bridge. So I drove along on my way, and don't you know he holds up his hand to stop traffic beginning with me. At that point I felt vomiting was an inevitability, and the thought of handcuffs and flashing lights and a night in the tank started going through my head. Then I remembered the half a joint in my pocket and added possession to the list of bad things that were about to happen to me. The cop was no more than 20 feet from me, which is REALLY close. Eye contact close. A minute went by that lasted an eternity, but he still didn't wave me on. He kept looking at the line of cars that was stacking up behind me so that he knew when to let my line go. There was no way to lean out the door and do it. That would have been an instabust. There wad a half full Burger King cup in the drink holder. And that was it. I took the lid off and filled the cup to overflowing. When I looked up he was no longer looking in my direction; he had just put his hand up to stop the traffic that was passing in front of me. He looked me in the eye and waved me on. There is no way he wouldn't have seen me leaning into that cup had he been facing my direction at the time. Needless to say I drove home with the windows open. About halfway home I started feeling queasy again and just sparked up the other half a joint. No more queasiness. What a show. They played Crazy Mama that night. I was happy.

Alvarhanso, glad to hear you broke out Live at Leeds, on vinyl no less. Such great stuff. The Isle of Wight show from 1970 is also widely available on CD and video and vinyl too. Pretty sure they have that one on red white and blue colored vinyl.

The Scooby-Doo Dark Star IS one of the better ones Vguy - I'm well into it at this point.

Oborious, hahaha " boobie dazzler" - curse you for getting me thinking about boobies. Mrs. KeithFan can't have too many spiked Seltzer's tonight or she'll fall right asleep.

Transitions

Listened to 4/22/69 from 30 Trips yesterday, and I would say it earns its reputation. I love its low key, meditative start with Dupree's Diamond Blues, and how this segues into Mountains of the Moon and on into Dark Star. The music seems to cast a beautiful unearthly glow. It occurred to me that, whereas the 1972 Playing's have the effect of containing infinity within finite boundaries-the songs intro and triumphant return - Dark Star was more framed by the songs on either side of it than by the verses of the actual Dark Star song. And my favourite entry point to Dark Star, from any point in their career, is Mountains of the Moon.

This morning I went through the great Lovelight from Frankfurt 4/26/72, and its superb journey to Goin' Down the Road.

Lately I can Depend

On my Black Lab waking me up at 5am to take a leak. He usually makes some dog noises at the door, but last night I fell asleep with the noise cancellation headphones on. I was having a Spicoli dream with a babe on each arm, except instead of being a surfer I was Mick Taylor right before he joined the Stones. It was all I could do to get away from an interviewer and back to my room with these women, one who is actually my neighbor's wife (wtf???) and the other was one of the Playboy centerfold's who adorned my room when I was 10 years old (wall2wall). Weird situation in hindsight - my dad had long since flown the coup and the lady next door used to bring over her husband's last month's Playboy magazines (story for another day). So lol, I'm chuckling just writing this - I'm in this dream trying to get away from this interviewer so I can get these ladies back to my room, and the logic in my mind about the neighbor's wife was if we got caught, we would just tell him she was with the centerfold woman and I was showing them how to read a map to get back home. But the interviewer wouldn't stop asking questions. I felt myself getting impatient in the dream and my manners ran out. I finally said, "listen man, they're licking my face for fuck's sake - we're ready to head out man - come to my room in the morning; we'll have coffee and room service and I'll answer all your questions". The guy told me it was cool and we headed off to a limo. I said ladies, you can stop licking my face now, he's gone. And then all of the sudden they were gone - poof - and my wife was standing there in my dream telling me the dog reaally has to go out. I woke up to this Black Lab licking my face, trying desperately to wake me and let him out.

Jimbo - I read your notes on 6/17/75 and it's definitely the one I have. Just all of the patchwork in Crazy Fingers and the patch at the beginning of U.S. Blues is enough to prove it out. Sounds like I have the best available.

I didn't actually start the morning with the requisite E72 show, which is the one disc "Dead Beat Club" show. This has a fantastic Othe One; at 21 minutes it's short and sweet. I went with Dave's Picks Berkeley, specially modified to kick off with the great Promised Land => Bird Song that DP 36 graced us with. I continue to screw with the set list, going so far as to move Sugar Magnolia up in the order and replace Sunshine Daydream with Bertha, which comes in perfectly on queue (I love Jerry's soloing at the end of Bertha). Heck I even included the soundboard Dark Star => Morning Dew from the night before, simply because "why not?" Audio's almost as good.....

Daverock - I can't wait to get to that 4/26 show Other One you mentioned. If I had to try to come up with some original words to describe its quality.....hmmm.....I guess I would say "it's everything". I mean really, it almost plays out like a '72 Dark Star during the improv bits. I think Jerry was REALLY inspired by Dark Star, Part II on the 24th, and just wanted to continue that unplanned 15 minute bit of genius after Me and My Uncle. Just maybe . Come to think of it, "it's everything" doesn't really describe that 4/26 version of The Other One with the blend of quality and originality I was aiming for- I'd say it's more like "everything AND a bag of chips".

I also recently learned to appreciate 30 Trips 1969 show as so much more than a two-track inferior spin-off of the Fillmore West Complete box set. Set lists are obviously very similar, but this show has some bite to it. I may revist today. Thanks for the reminder.

Country Weather again

Curiously, considering I mentioned them on here last week, and then got a recommendation for their album by Simon, on the inner sleeve of the 30 Trips cd 4/22/69, their is a reproduction of a concert poster featuring the Dead...and topping the list...Country Weather. Never noticed it before.

Still haven't ordered their album, although I am clearly being led to do so. I'm gradually getting over my worries about ordering things through the post being contaminated. Although, not to make light of things-and apologies for any offence caused - it would be a curiously apposite way for a bloke like me to meet his maker. Being offed by a rare psychedelic album. "It was that Country Weather album", they will say, "he didn't stand a chance."

Now it really is getting serious.

Authorities in Bavaria have cancelled this year's Oktoberfest in München. Bad news for Gerd, Gerhard and others. Where will it all end?

Thirty Licks

KF, your 'dream sequence' had me guffawing-out-loud by the end; don't you just LOVE how things in ones dream never truly seem to translate into reality? The dog licking translation from your dream was too funny. Adds some levity to my morning.

Now, what to jump into. Was looking for inspiration going through the most recent comments and I realized I hadn't listened to the Giants box/pre-91 shows in a while (thx Jimmy) so that just might hit the spot.

Otherwise, dive into a great Dark Star or Other One today and take a ride.

Well, guess what?
Just so happens that DaP34 remaining copies go on sale today.

Solo bierfest?

In your cellar or in your garden, a solo bierfest doesn't sound like a lot of fun. Would you have to wear a dirndl to fetch the beer then change into lederhosen to drink it? Whatever, strange times call for strange measures.

*Re/ Listen’n

... I’m listening to Dicks Picks #26 ;recoded on
4/26/69 & 4/27/69! What a Primo Pick of the dicks Pick series! Man, this is where it’s at! 🙏❤️🤠💀🌹

re: Solo

Simonrob - top part 'hosen, bottom part St. Pauli Girl dress - amirite? Or is it the other way around?
I know I've got a litre glass mug around here somewhere.

Solo Beer Fest = pretty much every day at Clan Sixtus these days.

Solo Bierfest

Simonrob,
well, good thing is I have a garden and I have a cellar.
Another good thing is, I have lederhosen and I have liter steins, -mugs, -glasses and a large variety of fantastic, unique brew around to buy. And I have the choice to get it in bottles or small kegs.
And, there are brothers around in the same miserable position.
So we could get together and listen to e. g. the '76 box and have some fun.
But, box hasn't arrived yet!
A bummer is, no Dirndl serving. Gotta figure something out.
Take care

things

Stepping Out w The Dead and Keith's missing piano. Finally got a copy of this (through the magnificent benevolence of a board member)

And wow keith, quite glaring. More like they just forgot to put his track on.

The other day we mention about cd labeling when ripping, how some there, some not, some wrong. While ripping in "stepping out", and I've had this with other albums, but always get a laugh. Songs that have [Live] after the title, ok, on a studio album with a couple of live cuts thrown on, but when I see a live show with chuckle.

TV shows went by the other day. I just caught "first man" (about Neil Armstrong) and the moon stuff. Brought back a memory (which I have every 10 years or so), but who remembers Andy Griffith in a show called "savage 1"?

Andy was a junkyard/scrap dealer who decides he's gonna build a rocket and savage all the stuff left behind on the Moon. I liked as a kid. They only made 20 and only showed 16 before being cancelled. I ended up looking for the show up to see if it was available on disc and like most net lookups you go far too deep and read too much. We all know (or should know) one of the big lines from the moon landing was "the eagle has landed". Well in the Andy show when he makes it to the moon to savage all the shit he says, "the vulture has landed". I certainly didn't remember this from back in the day but had a good laugh.

Dirndl?

You have got to have a German Beauty wearing a Dirndl serving the beer. Anything else is unacceptable!

Dirndl

@ deadegad
right! Preferably with a lot of Holz vor der Hütt'n.
Less will do, too.
Ha, ha.

Slow Dog Noodle, deadegad, Dennis and all, thank you.

I see I'm not the only one waiting for the boxset to be delivered. Nevermind, I got many releases to listen to. I'll wait for it.

I've just read the track listing of the Dave's Picks 34, it seems spectacular, and the bonus disc could be one of the best.

Meanwhile, I think I will listen again to Dave's Picks 24, I like this show.

Be well.

Dupree's & Mountains of the Moon intros, 4/26 transition

Couldn't agree more DaveRock.

Mountains and Duprees.. I love those subtle soft, flexible songs into the calm waters of Dark Star in the Constantan years . Dicks Picks 26 has some similar moments but this one hasn't grabbed me quite as hard yet.. but give it some time. I really think we are due for another 1969.. and they are in the vault.

As for the transition into GDTRFB from 4/26, it's an all-timer. A couple years ago, I found myself with some free time in the middle of winter on a work day and ended up doing something crazy and fun stuff alone in the backcountry in an enhanced state.. my playlist that fateful day contained the same passage (Lovelight>GDTR) but from Bickershaw. I might just like this a little better. The transition is not quite as good, but just by a hair and I think the Lovelight is stronger, perhaps the strongest of the tour. ..but that segment of music, really Jack Straw though GDTRFB/NFA is amazing. A creative, tight, succinct fluid piece of music. SimonRob was there that day, the longest show of the tour. I think it was a post from VGuy that prodded me to put that show on my device that fateful day. But Bickershaw, wow.. a historic performance, as was Jahrhundert Halle. Well they all were historic performances, weren't they.

Mountains-Dark Star spoiler. Bickershaw

Jim...I have just dusted off 4/22/69 for an anniversary listen, and noticed there's one on here too. This is a run, the Ark, Boston April 1969, that is often suggested for a box, and it would be a great choice. If what you say about more 1969 shows possibly being released soon, this would be a perfect run to centre on.

Although Bickershaw was in my general area of growing up-the North West of England, and I had started going to gigs that year, it was before my festival going years started-with Pink Floyd, Knebworth 1975. But the photographs of Bickershaw, with all the cold looking, bedraggled, long haired people reminds me of the mood of the times. Its no wonder Black Sabbath and Hawkwind were so popular. They reflected the stoned North Western British experience to perfection.
But, I digress... Bickershaw was a great show.

No, there's still no sign of…

No, there's still no sign of the '76 Box in France. How long will it take for the Dave's Pick to get here?

69/04/22, Boston, MA

51 years ago, unbelievable. Just listened to it.
Turn On Your Lovelight got me.
Pigpen wound up, full of energy, awesome.

Ark Ark

A great run.. a very popular box suggestion. I do think we are do and I also think there is a good bit of quality 69 in the vault.

Gonna hideout in Colgate 11/4/77 for a bit

Still waiting in Sweden

But my tracking has been updated for the first time since 28 march(!)
Repeating the exact same message yesterday as 28 march: parcel has left the international distribution center.
(Which it had already done on march 28!)
So still the wrong side of the pond.....

Also waiting in Sweden ...

As of yesterday this is the tracking message:

Your item arrived at an origin transfer airport in LOS ANGELES, UNITED STATES on April 24, 2020 at 9:39 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

By the end of March the package was in New York. I made a phone call to USPS Sweden a week ago or so and they said the box set was being shipped by boat to Europe. So I guess I still have to expect a long wait?

I was waiting too.
What I found out, the transatlantic shipping to Germany was made by UPS/air on behalf of USPS.
Domestic shipping was done by regular postal Service, here DHL.
Funny thing is, tracking says arrival Germany on March 28, same day as yours, but on this side of the Atlantic.
I guess, box was probably held up at the customs office because of staff shortage in these strange days. But who knows?
Dogon I'd sent you a pm. Gerd

Whoo Hoo

Great to hear the boxes are beginning to arrive in Europe (and hopefully elsewhere).. Fill us in on what you think, to me it exceeded expectations, always a bonus. I think I liked the first two shows the best.. Lucky Boston.

Box in Germany

My Box arrived in Germany on 3/23 via UPS. Yesterday I received a note from DHL that my box finally arrived on my island. Will pick it up tomorrow. Taxes EUR 20.85 and addtitional costs of EUR 6.00. About EUR 12. 00 less as expected. Stay safe

@JJ Fehmarn

Great news for you!!! Are you on Ost Friesenland?? Enjoy the music JJ!

@ DEADAGAD

I'm living on the Isle Of Fehmarn, famous for Jimi Hendrix last official concert at the "Love & Peace Festival" 1970.
The Isle Of Fehmarn in the northern part in Germany is situated on the east coast of Mecklenburg Bay, your mentioned Friesland is on the west coast - where the water is running away in regulary terms.
By the way, my last five:
Derek & The Dominoes - Live Fillmore (Vinyl)
David Crosby - Here If You Listen (Vinyl)
Eddie Vedder - Berlin 2019 (CDR)
GD - Dominguez Hills 5/5/90 (CDR)
Tamikrest - Tamotait

Let there be songs to fill the air

Box made it to Fehmarn...

way up in the North, only a short step to Sweden.
I'll bet, boxes will arrive in Sweden next week.
Gerd

Slow boat to Europe

Glad to hear that your Boxes are finally arriving.
Enjoy!

I'm also glad to hear....

....that Europe Heads are finally getting this box. You will love it. Signed - USA.

Fehmarn

I just took the Google Earth trip to Fehmarn and it looks wonderful!

Well ...

I hope I will get my box soon. And I do hope it hasn't already been here and gone back to Rhino and that's why it was last seen in Los Angeles. I have been in contact as well with the Swedish postal service and due to them it hadn't arrived yet 1-2 weeks ago. They could find one of the tracking numbers but so could I and we had the same information about the package. But my feeling is that I will eventually get it ... :-)

Micke Östlund,

Sweden

Well Micke, Skåne is closer to Fehmarn than Växjö...
The race is on!
(And not for the first time)

The Race

will continue when DaP 34 is shipped
G.

The Race? Slowing down!

Gerd, lets hope we all live that long, I'm 67!

Still waiting

Not only in Sweden folks are waiting. Also here in Franconia, Southern Germany not the bloodiest wee clue where this box might be and when it eventually may arrive. Congratulations to all of you who got already. Enjoy it and stay healthy and do not use bad chemicals. May be not funny.

'76 box -delivery to europe

No sign of the box in Norway either - and no further information on either ups or usps pages. I wonder why they can't just admit that the whole corona-situation causes huge delays. As I have understood the situation, this time Dead.net store chose to send the european packages via UPS mail innovation (what a misleading name...). There'is probably a big container somewhere with all our boxes in it - and hopefully they arrive before the release of the next box this year. My box was for many weeks in LA, then prosessed through a facility in New York and is now in transit from april 22nd.
For the good of all our nerves, please keep posting updates on shipment here, there is allways better to share the anxiety of not getting boxes and cds than sit alon and press refresh on tracking several times a day.

Gerhard

box is on it's way. I'm positive, you'll get your box this week.
Bavarian authorities, if customs, police, etc., are always more strictly than the ones in the rest of Germany.
Well, that's the only bad thing about Bavaria.
Today, my wife and I did some hiking in the Rhön-Mountains.
For some reason I didn't lock the car. After we returned I had a ticket on my driver's seat, 15 Euros punishment, issued by Bavarian police, for not locking the car.
Nevertheless I can be lucky, they didn't take the CD's I had with me, out of the box, June 14, '76.
I wonder if you could get a ticket in the US, Sweden, Netherlands or elsewhere, for not locking your car.
Gerhard, alles wird gut

#5928 has landed

Especially for the germanheads who are still waiting here comes the delivery itinerary of #5928:

3/17/20 Fantana, CA -> UPS
3/23/20 landing in Germany (probably Frankfurt)
From this date on no further informations available till 04/25/20. As far as I can sort it out today:
04/18/20 costums check
04/23/20 box -> DHL
04/25/20 box arrived, got a notice on my front door
04/27/20 box could picked up at post Office

Glad dead.net put on a value of USD 120 on the declaration so it saved about EUR 12 on taxes.

Hope all others who are still waiting will receive their box within the next days and maybe DP34 more faster.

Greetings to all from the sunny Isle of Fehmarn, stay safe

15€ for not locking the car?

Good thing your CD’s were still there.

ICECRMCNKD

you're right. Good luck, CD's were still there.
Cops probably got high on issueing a ticket for that crimnal act of not locking the car and failed to see the gems.
