    During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band.

    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.

    My MMW listening experience is extremely limited....

    ....but I'm eager to learn.
    I only have so many ears and so much time to digest it all.
    Edit. From Wikipedia....
    "In 2016, John Medeski formed supergroup Saudade with Chino Moreno of Deftones, Team Sleep, Palms, and Crosses; guitarist Dr. Know of Bad Brains; bassist Chuck Doom of Crosses and Team Sleep; and drummer Mackie Jayson of Cro-Mags and Bad Brains."
    ....full circle giving recent conversations here. Amazing.
    I know of, and enjoy the hell out of Bad Brains, when the mood suits me.
    Another edit. The Cro-Mags. Now there is a name I haven't heard in a long, long time....

    Medeski Martin & Wood you say

    Its a Jungle In Here was one of the soundtracks to my college years. End of The World Party is great too, like Slow Dog says. Anything they do with John Scofield is extra juicy.

    Their live sets are trippy AF. if you get a chance highly recommended.

    The only band i'm into more than the dead. I love MMW. Rumor on the streets is a new album and a tour in 2020.

    Tonic is one of my desert island albums. I also thought End of the World Party was way ahead of its time. And now that it's 15 years later I guess it's just about perfect.

    930 Club & '76ing

    Ahhh, the 930 Club....quite familiar with that venue, saw many bands there back in the late '90's/turn of the century: Widespread Panic, Medeski Martin & Wood, Wilco, Dark Star Orchestra, Carl Denson's Tiny Universe, The Samples....tons of good times. I remember toking on a J in one of the dark/side rooms and getting busted yet claiming ignorance...

    One of the coolest shows I saw there was the Medeski Martin & Wood show; they put chairs on the floor and it was very limited in terms of number of attendees. Had never seen it like that before but made for a very intimate performance.

    Bring on the June '76 Box. So happy this is like a month away and not having to wait until the Fall or something for it to land. It was a sneaky close announcement of the release this time around and I'm not complaining at all. This is probably one of my all-time favorite eras - I mean this very particular run of shows in early June - they sound very different than even later in the summer. I Love the genesis of this sound and it's gonna be all totally Normanized!
    What I AM curious about is Jerry's volume level on the 6/10 show; any version I've heard has him down pretty low in the mix. Given these are apparently 2 track tapes, my thoughts are they wouldn't be able to address that too much given the limited number of tracks - but I could be wrong. Curious if any others had recognized this or opined profusely on this point, as I seemingly have.

    *re\ June 76’ Boxset and 1972’ Boxset

    ...greetings and a grateful day to all my brothers & sisters out there! I hope all is well!
    I’m really looking forward to the beacon theater shows. I’ve seen many many concerts there over the span of my life. One of my favorite shows I saw at the beacon theater was the Black Crows on a Halloween in the late 90’s mane 1996 or 1997 I can’t recall the year, an amazing performance, they whole band started the show dresses as Elvis, the whole band did; it was amazing night. I saw so many great bands and I love the theater . Always sounding primo in my Deadhead ! I always been on the lookout for an official release from the Dead from this venue so I’m doing little jigs around the house waiting for the box to arrive so I can once again relive an amazing series (5) performances from the Grateful Dead from 1976. Another favorite era of the good ol Grateful Dead 2976. Not a favorite with all dead fans but every release from 1976 released is primo in my book, not a dud in the whole lot, ect. Dicks & Daves Picks , Winterland and the spirit of 1976 Bonus Disc also come to mind and also the 76’ Release From The RoadTrips Series... a very special time in Dead history for this Deadhead fan & collector!

    Also speaking of Boxsets , I was able to add the Complete Europe 72 boxset back into my collection. I sold my original for medical bills about 2 years ago if I remeber correctly . I found an all music Edtion of 72 boxset, the whole set complete and still sealed, every one of the 22 shows still sealed and in Primo condition on all 22 shows, just perfect condition. Very greatful to be blessed with this release back in my collection. Rock on deadheads! 🙏❤️😎💀🌹💀🌹
    I recently sold a few Record LPs to a record collector. No Dead LPs, I sold a couple of original Beatles LPs and a couple of Elvis Records from my personal collection.
    I was given an offer for the two Beatles LPs I couldn’t refuse, one being the white album on white vinyl. Excelent mix/mastering on this pressing. One of my favorite sources for the Beatles White Album. I have two more sets. It’s one of my favorite of their albums!

During the mid-1970s, the Grateful Dead saga was unfolding like a Greek classic. The Sisyphean Wall Of Sound had nearly broken the band.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.....

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?

Micke Östlund,
Växjö, Sweden

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

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.

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

I'll bet, boxes will arrive in Sweden next week.

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 ... :-)

Well Micke, Skåne is closer to Fehmarn than Växjö...
The race is on!

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.

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.

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

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

JJ

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.
