    Tiny Tim

    Several weeks ago we were discussing the reissue of Monterey Pop on BluRay and the addition of GD Viola in the bonus material.
    Also added was Tiny Tim hanging out in the Green Room for Monterey Pop (a tent actually), sitting at a table with a few people, and playing old songs.

    Pretty bizarre

    Hard to believe it has been four years since this gem came out. It never fails. Top three, in my book China-Rider, that transition is unreal. Stella Blue, man, Jerry reall is on fire. His guitar is so crisp in this recording.

    Whoa

    Did not know any of that about TT...I thought he was “acting”, trying to be that odd. Fug yeah, when the going gets weird lol. Glad I could help lol. Great article, miss his Dead stuff...
    I guess for me a good day is when I throw something out there, especially if it’s weird, and it lands somewhere, and perhaps gets a little flow going. It fascinates me how/what little cues can trigger, especially with an older drug addled mind, all kinds of things that haven’t been thought of in a very long time etc.
    Like Tiny Tim on TV as a lad>> Laugh In>> different characters etc>>other childhood sixties TV memories>> and on and on!
    Funny I’m rehashing the weirdness from 6/26/73 TOO while watching TT videos lol. Yeah, hard to believe he never tripped. Fortunately/Unfortunately? ...gotta wonder what would of happened had he been around Owsley and the boys!
    Ok, it’s time for new Dave’s, then maybe I’ll hit some of that 4/2/73. Ole DV knows just how to scratch under my collar, WOOF!

    Today's Pick

    What's on tap for today.

    Per Jim's suggestion yesterday I hit up Dave's #1. What a show. It never gets old to me.

    Maybe we should take a look at the January 2017 Dave's release, #21? A little Boston Garden 73.

    Tiny Tim

    Great Post Ouro.. Love the Tiny Tim reference. We must be close to the same age, because I remember when this guy was making the rounds on TV and pop culture.

    So.. as a weird mind works and knowing there was a kinship between Wavy Gravy and Tiny Tim.. plus it's midnight.. I googled Tiny Tim on Acid (seemed logical to me). I somehow thought, surely Tiny dosed.. well, I was wrong but the search brought up the quite recent article by our beloved Blair Jackson. A fairly well researched piece (no surprise here), quite informative. I knew Tiny Tim was well versed in old music, but leave it to Blair to fill the gaps and keep it all interesting. I would not be surprised if there was a closer tie to the GD than Wavy Gravy, but the hour is getting late... save some fun for tomorrow.

    Thanks Oroborous for leading me on this interesting tangent. ..at least interesting to me.

    ...tip toeing through the tulips of the mighty PNW.
    Didn't get to the extra credit show. Faulty time, and we all know time! and I had to listen to 6/24s disc three again, man that’s some good sheet...lol what the hey, gonna hit a few songs from 24th again today including the DS....😎

    Received 37 last night, but Lovey’s working at home in my office today and I always try to give each new release (at least the first virginal listen) the full proper treatment listening via the big boy chair on the big system so that’ll have to wait until manana!
    So since I can tell ole DV is itching for me to hit 6/26/73 (like I needed any prodding ; ) I guess will start with that. (After that DS again lol)

    Actually starting to rain here, with supposedly snow later. As much as I’ve enjoyed the easy winter, we need it bad!.
    It’s been sorta cold but one of the driest winters I can remember for the 22 years we’ve been up here. Crazy the East coast etc is getting pounded and we’ve not had shite this winter. That fire was close enough to get a person thinking last year so really hoping we have a wet spring.
    Point being good day to work in the basement on the Theatre. Since I can now play stuff off the music server on upper level down on the basement system etc. it’ll be a perfect day to be in the pit, and a perfect day for a long 73 show!
    Trying to get my Height layer in and LFE subs going. I have some B&W speakers laying around and an extra 5 channel Mac amp I was originally going to use for the master, so might just as well travel the elegant way eh!
    Main reason I’m doing this is not so much for atmos (shitty format) or movies, but for music and concert videos etc. Auro 3D upconversion for stereo or fake surround sources can be magnificent!
    It’s not some crazy surround deal with like one drum coming from each speaker, but a subtle but powerful use of the psychoacoustic space that when done right can make you feel more like your experiencing a live event. I’ve only used the 2D version so far on my 6.1 set up, so I’m really stoked to play dead videos or hell anything using the 3D set up.
    Ssssssllllaaaappppp.......sorry, started geeking out there hurumph...
    Yeah Jim I have been cheating a bit on some of these. Like only did the last 2 discs yesterday and cut some tunes off of the first one. I know you full show purists are looking at me funny, but I have to be careful I don’t get too burnt.....

    OB - I need to dust off that set again.
    Feels like I get a release listen to it once and grok on how excellent it is..
    And then dive into collecting a bunch of bootlegs and forget about the release.
    Might be OCD.

    If you all haven't checked out 2/2/70 in awhile, I highly recommend dusting that off.
    Smoker!
    Dark Star > St. Stephen > Mason's - That's just sick!
    Good times.

    I'm hoping my POD will be DaP V37 based on the tracking text I just got, says between 11:30-3:30.
    I guess we'll see.

    Starting off the day with some Ace Demos, I don't think I've listened to this all the way through.
    I wonder what became of "Unknown Song"
    I can't place it.

    Hey Oroborous, the PNW Box continues to get better at least to my ears after each listen. Let me know your thoughts after you listen to 6/26/73. What a show!

    That Other One/Me and Bobby McGee to the Other One is wild!

    Enjoyed the 78 show Bob t and the audience recording of the Hollywood Bowl, 74.
    Stay well folks.

    Oroborous, way to go man.. get comfy in the PNW Box. I love it.. it's one of those pieces of music where I feel it's ok not to listen to each and every song. These are long shows and repeat listens of certain sections is not always required..

    Been away a lot these last few days. ..so my listening was often determined by what was on my device at the time. Having a blast in the Mid Atlantic. Can't wait until fun can be had with people again god forbid crowds and amplifiers.. but making the best of here and now.

    Be good all.. stay safe, stay warm.

Hot Summer Dead

I'm still shaking my head over this 8/14/71 tape, Holy S#!@

Phil & Jerry are just locking in throughout, esp during The Other One & NFA > GDTRFB.

Even the tried and true #s get a work out.

Alright time for the next night.

And young Strider journeys West and was there for both, lucky duck.

Quack! Quack!

Happy Birthday Bob T, since you listened to 8/15 yesterday, my Bday gift to you is 8/14, Enjoy! ;)

BobT: Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Shakedown Stream 6/19/20: does anyone recall what show that was, and was 4/22/20 (6/11/93) the first one?
Can’t seem to source it...I bet GOGD knows!

BOX IDEA: Dane County; Kinda like the Giants box...
2/15/73 (Dark Star, HC Sunshine)
10/25/73 (Dark Star, Mind Left Body, HC Sunshine)
2/3/78 (DPs 18)
2/4/79 (Probably no tapes)
12/3/81(Good set list)
6/24/83 (H,S,F, Dew, good set list)

Ok, so possibly 4 shows...I’m not familiar with the performances of the last 3, but it looks good on paper....

....Big RXR opener. Good sign.
Oroborous with the win. If they don't name it the Grate Dane box with a derpy dog on the cover, opportunity lost.
Edit. 8.14 & 8.15 both have Cumberlands!! Sold!

Started 4/10 with Truckin’ Up to Buffalo, followed by GD Movie and 6/11/93 on 4/24/20. 6/19/20 was an off week, they did 10 in a row and took that week off.

Nice box idea, I’d like to see 2/9 & 2/15/73 released for sure. Honestly they should release this 8/14/71 show, it’s hot! 8/15 is good too… but I think I like the 14th better. Might have to listen again ;)

Aw Reet!

Always liked the German Shepherd with headphones from Hamburg '72 in the steamer trunk.

2/15 Set II is one of my first tapes, very much loved.

8/14 & 15 need to be released. Wowza.

Speaking of 2-9,15-73, I did my every 2-3 month visit to bt.etree to check for new/upgraded material (Mr. Charlie has been productive during quarantine) and I believe that those were included in the shows I got.
Also, Alaska ‘80 all three shows as one torrent was there.
Vguy, Sam Boyd 92 was also there.

Didn’t read the fine print on each show to see what has been fixed, or if it is a new source, etc. Will do that later, just grabbing the data now.

Yes - there was a solid Charlie Miller upgrade to 2-15 in last few months - i was checking it out on the Archive in first day or so after it was uploaded. i think this is the same on relisten. don't do etree but maybe its time for a select few.

https://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1973/02/15?source=223918

1st 2 tracks on this source are from the soundcheck i think.

Holy Crap.. Fire on the Mountain > Looks Like Rain? Just checked this out, looks horrific. Be safe man...

New Years will have special meaning this year.

going through discs and realized it had been years since I'd listened to the Dave's 2012 Bonus Disc from Cap Centre 7/29/74. so that's where I'm at right now. maybe this got covered earlier as a pick and i missed it.

Oro - good luck over there. personally familiar with how freaking dry the SW Colorado mountains are right now. no mushrooms anywhere. scary in terms of fire potential. hoping for some containment on Grizzly and Pine Gulch. lots of smoke drifting in here - probably from California fires but maybe northern Arizona or west of state.

I did this a couple weeks ago.. classic.

What's in store for tomorrow? Still light on work, starting a carpentry project so good long jams are in order..

How about 5/14/74, Dave's Picks #9?

Lost my Mom late last week, it has been a tough time and the virus doesn't help in all aspects.

Be well folks.

I was so happy when Dave release this one... My in tape trading days i had a very crappy board, but hey it had a Dark Star on it from 74, and it was the only Montana show they did... What i have grown to really like about this show is the NFA>Going Down the Road... give it a listen..... not the longest versions in the world but they smoke!!!! Even get a whew from Weir after the jam in GDTRFB..... alas all is ruined after when Bob get's hit with a homecoming cup, "Thanks a whole hell of a lot," right before the encore..... Good call for today.... bob t

We were bound to have a repeat eventually and perfect pick for repeated listening.

Thanks for the kind words Gents, I appreciate it!

GOGD, did we do this one already, shoot, sorry for the repeat, I guess I needed a good Dark Star. And I am with Bob t, the NFA/GDTRFB combo is sweet and One More Saturday Night to finish.
Sound quality is A+. How great was the Wall of Sound.

Are we five months into this BS pandemic already? My God, this has to end soon.

Thanks again guys and stay well.

Ha.. Well, I missed the first one so it was a good repeat for me. I fit in the whole show and kept right on going with 6/16/74 simply because it was the next show in my device.

...and yes, this darkness got to give.

So Dicks Picks 20 tomorrow? Check out the jam in Supplication.. wowow stuff.

We might have.. if so, lets try and think up a new one. Where is our official judge, GOGD? Without him in the loop, we are a lawless, woolly bunch.

Edit: Well.. my 4/20/84 just arrived, so that's going to be my outside listen today. Reading the liner notes now. Saw a lot of shows in 84.. I remember how much different Jerry looked than he did in '83, and that habit of staring into the carpet and just shredding it was already well established. Vocals were a problem the whole year. This was about the time we started realizing something was afoot.

Jim,

Repeat or not, I am working my way through it. Love this release. I think this is the first 76 release, correct?

A 2001 release and the sound quality is really good. Performances are super September 76 Dead.

Hi-Ya!

Sorry, Dead.net homepage posts on my Mac aren’t updating in real time, even with refresh, weird.
I guess I have to dig a little deeper. Anybody else get that?

Yep, 5 months of this shiz, started 4/6/20 from what I can tell.
Alright, in regards to shows we did DiP V20 on 4/20/20, and DaP V9 on 5/14/20.
Now I'm just saying that so we know, no biggie doing repeats, in fact, these are all repeats and I do them all all the time ;)

I went down the 1971 rabbit hole after 8/14 & 8/15 and am trying to work my way out, but Fillmore April ’71 is sounding really good and taking me back to my earliest days of hearing the Dead.
(Which in comparison to now, seem like heaven!)

Did 4/29 yesterday, one of my earliest tapes, and am enjoying 4/28 today, So you know where to find me :)

Music Is Good Medicine
Be Well All

Just finishing Set I from 11/9/73.... gonna listen to this box the next few days. There are 8 shows from the October 73 and only 1 has been released.10/25 and 10/30 both have Dark Stars on them..... I'm a big fan of Evanston Show especially second set... I like the September tour, but I know a lot of people don't like the Fiero and Ellis shows... nothing has been released from September... There are 10 shows from this month no releases. Got a feeling Dave is saving 9/12/73 William and Mary show for the 50th anniversary of Wake of the Flood.... Thank you for listening to my ramble... bob t

Excellent pick. Latvala strikes again!

I think repeat picks should be allowed, or even encouraged. That way, we'll never run out.

Yes, I am with you on releasing more 74 Conekid. Don't forget 2/22 and 2/23.

Since several of these shows are partial releases, boy, I would not mind if they went back and gave us the complete show. Not sure that would ever happen, but I would buy it.

I pulled out 7/5/78 this morning. It has been a long time since I listened to this show. I know we did the 7/1/78 show on the Anniversary date. I don't listen to this box that much anymore and I should, great shows and super sound quality.

Everybody hang loose.

Thanks for the link on the last show at the Greek. Thought this might make a good pick of the day so I checked out Relisten and the archive. The only option I could find was one and it was a feed from Bob Weir's guitar. And that was literally all it was just his guitar playing. I like Bob Weir and all, but listening to just his guitar for a full show is not going to do it for me.
Who has a pick for us today?

"Is it not written in thee sky?" :-)

Today is August 20 and I am beginning to think there will not be another box set released this year. Not really sure what Dave was referring to when he spoke about other big things needing their own space to breathe later in the year meant? I know we have AB, but that can't be it.
Also, have they ever had a box set announcement past August 1?

Are usual clue tellers are silent.

Went with DP18 today. We've listened to this one before right? Anyway, ready for Englishtown any time now. Wish there was more video. Saw some of it recently first for I think the first time. Wonder how much (if any) footage there remains left. What's been out there has been seen already before, right? I'll have to check my Dead base. :-)

Dave made that 76 Box video before the world got turned upside in, downside out.
I don’t think that there is a rule about when an announcement needs to be made.
I’m holding out for another Box, whether it’s a stand alone or part of AB-50th. There’s really no reason to announce it way in advance, just announce it when it’s available for sale and start shipping the same day.

I see that Jambase posted a loose knit announcement yesterday for the final edition of Shakedown Stream to take place next Thursday August 27th. I’m surprised that the August 2020 Grateful Dead bulletin did not include a notice there of. I will say rest assured dear readers that official announcement would see the light of day maybe Monday or perhaps Tuesday at the latest. Something tells me that the pre-show with Dave and Gary has some special guest sure to make a long and lasting impression upon the impressionable and the not so easily impressed alike. So soon, very soon I expect to hear the drum roll, Rolling Thunder!!⛈⚡️⛈
