Grateful Dead

I haven’t listened to enough fall 72 to make a request, so I’ll trust HF.
Of course, if we got a fall 72 Box this fall we wouldn’t need a 72 for DaP36.

Young and fast.

Love Barry Trotz as a coach. Nice to see him sticking it to the Caps. Ove got his Cup, so I am O.K. with him getting bounced. My Canadaland teams are looking shaky.

We all have our favorites, but it’s funny how most folks relegate the same four releases to the bottom. DaP 35 got shelved instantly.

....I agree with this outcome.

Something not done before...tie in DaP36 with a 3 show Mini-Box. I'm looking at you Texas 11/19, 22, 24, 26/72. Even the folks who get 1 show win.

Last 5:

1. GD - DaP23 1/22/78 Eugene, Or. No #35 yet.

2. Dillard & Clark - The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark

3. Son Volt - American Central Dust

4. Lindisfarne - Fog On The Tyne

5. The Byrds - Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

Puck your face
Get pucked
Steal your face-off (a shirt, methinks)
Hell in a puck-et
Steal your puck
Skaight-Icebury

Goes right over my head.

Its not bad, in fact parts of it are excellent. As others have rightly said Jerry is vocally challenged and is just plain sad on some tracks. That said, Bob's vocal contributions are certainly not amongst his best either. In the vocal department that only leaves Brent and thankfully I only heard him for five or ten seconds singing harmony on one track. Another plus point is that there are no Brent-penned songs. The sound quality is not bad, but seems either frequency limited by the recording medium (cassette tape) or the mix is not well balanced. Only on "drums" can I hear cymbals, Phil is well down in the mix, as is Bob frequently. That leaves vocals, Jerry's guitar, the drums and Brent's keyboards. That is fine if you're not really paying attention but it is hard trying to listen to it seriously, to take in the nuances and details, because they are mostly missing. All in all an enjoyable listen but it doesn't stand up to comparison with many (most?) other shows.

I thought hockey was a game for girls.

my Daves arrived yesterday! No not 35,but 34!

(Owning up- this is a replacement for the one which never arrived having been reurned to sender by the Swedish postoffice who had previously assured me on multiple occasions that it had never arrived in Sweden from Brussels where the tracking trail went cold.But actually I dont deserve it because I cancelled my sub after waiting so long, so this is an unexpected bonus, though unlikely to be subscribing again or ordering from Rhino.)

it is DaP 35, no. 9903.
That was pretty quick and no customs charges.

You are correct, Daverock. When I went to school, for sport boys played football (soccer)⚽ or rugby🏉 in the winter and cricket 🏏in the summer. Girls played hockey🏑 on grass naturally. The variant that is played on ice is something else again. 🏒

...I will be listening to...

Fillmore West
San Francisco, CA
August 21, 1968

- Set I -
s1t01 - That's It For The Other One
s1t02 - Good Morning Little School Girl
s1t03 - Alligator

- Set II -
s2t01 - Dark Star ->
s2t02 - Saint Stephen ->
s2t03 - The Eleven ->
s2t04 - Death Don't Have No Mercy ->
s2t05 - Turn On Your Love Light
s2t06 - Midnight Hour

a revised version that is pitch corrected, etc...unfortunately Dark Star fades in and Lovelight fades out, but what the hey...

Folks here previously mentioned how much they enjoy holding Cd's, Vinyl etc in their hands, seeing the art work and liner notes...I am in agreement...back in the day (or era) it was always great to anticipate a record and pick it up on it's release date...back in the early 70's I worked on the West Side of LA and lived in Silverlake...I would take a bus home and where I transferred from one bus to another in Hollywood there was a shop called "Record Paradise"...not only did they always have new product ready to go on Fridays they were one of the few stores that I was aware of that carried import vinyl...Friday's also being payday it worked out just fine...I can remember buying "LA Woman", "Sticky Fingers" etc...also records were in my bones as that was the family business...I have pictures of my Pop (who was also a jazz bassist) in his shop surronded by 78's (probably from between '49 - '52) ...after that he went to work for one of the largest record distributors for 15 years or so until he opened a new store in '69 or so....

I checked on archive.org and a poster said of the rather poor audience tape of 9-19-72 that he contacted Lemieux on this show, and Dave responded:

"I suppose because it was never leaked from the vault. There is a board tape, as good as the rest of them from that tour, although it is missing one reel. I think we have 5 reels from this 6 reel show."

Of course, because Owsley taped 9-17-72 and 9-21-72, then he must have taped 9-19-72. And that gives me a wee bit of hope that a missing reel might turn up at the OSF or somewhere else.

So unless something wonderful has happened since that undated comment by Dave (above), my first show will hang fire til the end of time .... or until they release what they've got.

Sniffles........

Guess which reel is probably missing?

Are there any other audience recordings of the section that the missing reel is from? Why not give us 5/6 of bliss and a spruced up (as much as possible) aud patch?

37 years ago today, I was having fun at the Frost, the Dead opened the show with Cassidy, that didn't happen to often. Dave, think about a West Coast 1980s box set , Frost, Greek, and Ventura, lots of good shows to choose from.

The person who commented on Dave's remark on 9-19-72 posted that in September 2012.

So, as in a second marriage, hope springs eternal in the loin of a rabid Deadhead!

Oh, Powerful Tape Gods, could you conceivably have ushered the 6th reel back to the vault over the past 8 years?

Say it is so, and I vow to go out and buy a Barry Manilow record ON VINYL!

I swear by the blood below my feet!!!

Edit: I went back to archive.org and did the math. The show is about 143 minutes long. We have no idea which reel is missing, but the final reel somehow seems to suggest itself. If you divide 143 minutes by 6 you get 24 minutes per reel. Except those reels might have been 1/2 hour reels. If Owsley got the entire show through The Other One, and the 6th reel is missing, would that be the closing five songs -- Stella Blue, Sugar Mag, Casey Jones, One More Sat Nite, JB Goode? If OSF doesn't have it (Betty's stash probably didn't), perhaps it was a reel returned by Mtn Grrrl, from Jer's former stash? If the 6th reel remains missing, then this show might itself be a candidate for filler on another '72 release, as was Boulder, on Dick's 36 (9-21-72). I'd take what I could get. Back to my old "hope springs eternal" remark. Thanks for indulging me, folks. I love it when people rally around someone else's suggested release just because they went to the show. No wonder I enjoy hang out here!

2nd edit: If you check the aud tape, it would never be used to augment the boards, IMHO.

I agree

But some would deride it, most likely.

And the ptb probably wouldnt like the inconsistency

Fellow Deadheads, I stand before you, humbled.

For when I was a misguided child, I...(sob)...bought...a 45 of "I write the songs".

Oh, the shame....the shame....

In summer '69 I joined the Columbia Record Club: 12 LPs for one penny. I selected 11 and couldn't decide on the 12th. ''

I dawdled between Tommy James and the Shondells and this "Jimi Hendrix" character's Smash Hits. My older brother (by two years) said he had heard that Hendrix was pretty cool, so I went with that choice.

Talk about a fork in the road! So 51 years ago this summer, I veered away from bubblegum pop music.

Proof, like a parking spot, that there are gods in this world. Maybe that's my sign -- a SIGN!!! -- that a missing reel with show up.

Dude, do something about those fires over there! It's wrecking the air all the way over here in Utah...makes hiking a bitch!...cool sunsets thou.

But Seriously...hope you and the Bay Area (my old home) are staying safe.

Please don't forget "Get the puck out of there"

Nappy, great to read your post. It sounds like you & I are on the same page when it comes to physical product. For me, it's the only way to fly!! I don't care if I'm out of touch/step/my mind, it's what I enjoy.
Proudfoot, I bought a couple of Manilow 45's way back when. I am no longer ashamed of things I bought or will buy in the future. In fact, to me it just means that even as a young pup, my musical tastes were broad.
I just busted out my Partridge Family Greatest Hits cd the other day, who wants to demean me? The beauty is, after the Partridge Family, I can play Sabbath, followed by Albert Ayler, then Jerry Douglas and Terry Riley. On and on we go!
Peace and stay safe, healthy, and Dead!!

I hope all the people who are working so hard to fight these fires are safe and I hope no more people lose their homes. RobbZ, thanks for the kind thoughts

As a kid the only 45 I bought was Paul Revere and the Raiders Cherokee People...the drums are awesome!
The first LP, The Partridge Family, not sure which one, had that groovy hit I think I love You....several years later as a yoot, it was Frampton Comes Alive, followed by Dark Side of the Moon. Think I still have em all?

I trust the announcement will be for preorder, like 6 weeks ahead of release, as with WD.

Is old Dave-o waiting til after Labor Day to get the widest audience in place?

And can we expect a two-disc show along with AB? Outtakes? Alt mixes? More PIGPEN?

And is that it for 2020 or is there, say, a second box of June '76 coming our way? (I'd definitely grab that...)

I agree with Mr Ones - no shame in first purchases. My first single was Blood, Sweat & Tears “Spinning Wheel” (must have been Top 30 at the time), and my first LP was The Fifth Dimension “Up, Up, and Away” (they were ubiquitous in the 60s). Now, I can go from Bill Frisell to Miles Davis to Hot Tuna to Byron Berline, and points in between, in an afternoon. Like dogs, there really isn’t “bad” music - even Polka and Pit Bulls have their place - but some endures and transcends, such as the GOGD!
PS - Six emails and a phone call about my “cancelled” DaP 2020 Subscription since August 2, and not a word of reply. Sigh!

T. Rex "The Slider"

I have known electric warrior for a while

Took a chance during pallette cleansing

On 11/1 it turns 50. I can't see them missing a birthday like this.

Love the Cowsills, a non-guilty pleasure:

Have you tried contacting Marye at the 'Got Issues With Your Store Order' forum? She might be able to help as she has many times in the past.

....seven years to listen every Grateful Dead show available.
https://gratefuldeadml.home.blog/2020/08/21/what-a-long-strange-trip-li…
....I wonder if he visits these boards.

This will be a fall '72 show with special guest and has a returned missing reel.

I like your optimism.

When I was 3 or 4 my neighbor across the street worked for RCA I believe. He used to give us 45s all the time. The 1st one I remember is Little Willy by Sweet. Then came Detroit Rock City with Beth as the B side. That Bob Ezrin was a genius until he achieved his goal to snort one Tony Montana sized pile of cocaine in 24 hours. That must have been with the money The Wall hauled in, because KISS "Music From The Elder" the following year was so bad Ace Frehley quit the band.

The first LP that was technically mine was Bridge Over Troubled Water.

My first non-KISS LP was Who Are You. Who who. Who who. Highly underrated as far as Who records go. Daltrey and Entwistle should have seved time for rejecting the Empty Glass song and Gonna Get Ya. There's a demo with just Townshend and Moon on the Who Are You special edition. So close. Who Are You was a well received album anyway, but it would have been absolutely killer with those two tracks.

First album I got was Electric Warrior by T.Rex - Christmas 1971. Hotly followed by Fireball and Deep Purple In Rock, Relics by Pink Floyd...maybe Very 'eavy Very 'Umble by Uriah Heep. Slade Alive came out early 1972, and that was, and remains, incredible. Shame they turned into a comedy act shortly after. I have yet to hear a more full blooded, coruscating vocal than Noddy Holder's intro to Get Down and Get With It. Well arllllllllllright every body -let to haaaaaaaaaaaaaaair dowwwwwwn. Great words, too. Also recorded by Little Richard - but this version, on Slade Alive is the best I have heard. It also features a great version of Born to be Wild, which leaves BOC standing in the dust.

Simonrob.....we had boxing at our school up until the year before my sentence began. They used to have photos of little kids wearing enormous gloves, merrily knocking shit out of each on one of the walls. I was more of a long distance runner type myself-which came in quite handy when dealing with local skinheads. I don't think learning the Marquis of Queensbury Rules would have been much use in dealing with them anyway.

We also had to take part in the annual school boxing knockout competition. Supposedly character building. Fortunately I never actually saw anyone getting knocked out. I was also more of a long distance / cross-country runner.

First single: The Beatles - I want to hold your hand. Purchased on release day in 1963

First LP: Deep Purple - Deep Purple. In 1969.

So your Golden Knights are going up against my beloved Canucks. Good luck.

Great idea on contacting Marye! Kudos for the heads up!

....Knights vs Canucks. Don't make me drop the gloves.

Apparently, your man did not listen to 9-19-72! It's missing from his list. But an aud circulates.

When young, perhaps 1970, for reasons lost to me today, I sold/gave away all my electric albums and kept and bought only acoustic music. Six months later, I had to re-collect all the records I had shed. Of course, at that time I had maybe 50 LPs tops. Yesterday I counted ~150 officially released GD shows in my collection and I probably have another 150-200 unofficial shows on hard drive. Not to mention perhaps 1,200 CDs (wild guess) with several hundred each of Jimi, Roy, Jerry, and dozens+ of Dylan, The Band, Allmans, etc. Can't afford to do anything crazy at this point.

And I sure as hell ain't listening to every GD show. Geez, it took us 2 1/2 years to absorb Euro '72 box, one show every month or so. Well worth the time, that one.

1st lp I bought with my own money "Paul Revere and the Raiders, Midnight Ride" this one had "Kicks" on the first side. .99 cents new in shrink. Had a ton of 45's before that, but the Raiders lp was my first lp.
Daverock, I saw Slade in 1973, they opened for Joe Walsh. They sucked, they were booed off the stage after they flipped off everyone in the audience because we didn't get up and dance to their music. After they flipped us all off, the audience (Tampa, Fl crackers) went a bit nuts and started booing and throwing things at them. They called us crazy and I seem to remember a song of theirs that had "crazy" in the title? The looks on their faces as they were dodging projectiles was hilarious kinda like "why? why are they booing? look out for that shoe...funny. BTW Joe Walsh was absolutely fantastic that night, him and the Barnstorm band. After several encores, Joe came out and said we were all crazy, which got a lot of boos, he changed it and said that we weren't crazy, not wanting to add to Slades' interpretation of the crowd. The last encore (3rd if I remember right) was Funk 49.

Dang, we're pretty much stuck indoors in Colorado with massive air quality issues from the wildfires. Really wanting the firefighters to be safe, but nothing I can do except send money...

So I sit here and post on dead.net.

Oh, my question, what's the current over/under on another box this year? Dave has mastered the art of being vague, which is kinda fun. Get the '76 box out early in the year because... WHAT???!!! WD and AB releases? Each about $25. I can spend that at the bar in an hour. Or, I used to be able to. But if AB 50th is announced in Sept for Nov release, what's left of the year? Oh yeah, DaP 36 announcement and 2021 subscription "fly strip" announcement - ya know, always a killer show to draw us to that sticky paper, where we re-up before ... okay, having The Fly visuals ("help me, help me")... So many freakin' "announcements" to go.

Dropping in on a local blues band later today for the first time since early March. It'll be 95 degrees, smoky and ... isn't that enough? Oh yeah, raging pandemic...

Thanks for letting me rant and rave! I had no point to make. Only questions.

The first record I purchased for myself was Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog," on a 45 rpm single with the flipside being "Don't Be Cruel." At the Ben Franklin in Chetek, WI, with my grandmother in 1975 or 1976. I dug Elvis, Elton John, The Beach Boys, KISS, and just about any and all classic rock at this time.

The first album I bought was KISS Alive II.

\m/

I purchased my first two albums with birthday money from grandma in the Fall of 1976. My parents were so angry as I was expected to "save" the cash and not "waste it" on such a frivolous purchase...and of course, the whole "rock-n-roll is the root cause of all debauchery" thing.
Anyway, this hard-headed 12 year-old secretly rode his banana seated, 1970 style Schwinn, to a local record store and eagerly snapped up these two newly released albums---and I've never been quite the same since!

Rush: All the Worlds a Stage (I had worn out my older brothers 8-track of 2112 that summer)
KISS: Destroyer (the album cover looked really, really, really cool)

And wasn't buying albums back in the day just the best? All the band photos and cool art on the album jackets and sleeves. Double albums would fold out into a sweet "weed cleaning" tool. Also the occasional posters and stickers that would come inside. I remember getting some goodies inside the "Dark Side of the Moon" and almost all my KISS albums....

Unkle Sam, that Slade song is Mama Weer All Crazee Now. I like them, they were a great 45 band and the Slade Alive LP is great in its own right.
Hoping for a 40 yr anniversary Warfield/RCMH box set. I had the June 76 box on my mind this morning(funny thing,others too); if you haven't gotten it yet, like Gene Vincent says, git it!
Edit: my 1st record, the Beach Boys' I Get Around French 45 EP, 1964

Right in my neck of the woods. I'm just south of Bloomer. I grew up in the era of cds and tapes, so most of my record buying was solely for the art. Happy Saturday, all! As they say, Play Dead! :-)

John Denver...enjoy most of his stuff. But "An Evening with John Denver" is a favorite and has a pretty cool version of the Beatles tune, "Mother Nature's Son" on it. And a double album as well.....

Also he does a really good version of "Me and My Uncle"........Far Out

Best of the Beach Boys was my first LP in 1966. I bought it off my sister! My first 45 was (don’t laugh) Cliff Richard I Could Easily Fall In Love With You in 1964. I was only 10 but, it still brings back memories and yes, I still like it, so there!
