1974 Chop Shop
I am at an impasse with some of the partially released 74 shows.. I think I need to reconstruct the full shows using pieces of the official releases and supplement any missing parts from the best available source.
What were they thinking???
Edit: David Lemieux as a kid.. "Look at all these reels.. I bet we can releases dozens and dozens of songs...."
Chop job redemption
Plangentize and Normanize those ‘74 reels, and Box ‘em up, PNW style.
9/10/74 Alexandra Palace finished
Already on the end of set one of 9/11/74, Playing just started...23 minutes to end the first set. Then a 41minute Phil & Ned where a big chunk is with the band before going into a great Eyes of the World into Wharf Rat... (44 minutes of Eyes and Wharf Rat) .. 108 minutes of jazzy, jammed pure 74 bliss. bob t
Missing These Picks..
and who could ask for more than another 1974.
I am not listening to the composites of these again though.. I want to rebuild the complete shows.
1974
some of my favorite releases back in the day were the 1974 multi-show highlight releases, and of course same goes for DiP 4 Fillmore East. Still find them solid and very enjoyable. however - i definitely would like to see full show releases of those shows barring any significant reel issues.
Bluecrow Hat Trick - continuous deep listen to all three discs in a single release. much as I can ask for nowadays.
prayers to fire affected brothers and sisters out in California, Oregon, & Washington - heartbreaking
American Reality
Loading up the phone with the Dead, putting all of 1972 on now.
Do some rain dances & send some good vibes towards the west coast.
We need all the help we can get.
Be Well All
Any one up for some William and Mary.... 9/11/73
Dark Star>Morning Dew included!!! I finished the last Alexandra Palace show (9/11/74), favorite of the 3 shows. I know this September 73 tour isn't everyone's favorite because of the horns, but I like them... Have a great weekend. Bob t
Mickey Hart 77th birthday
Always enjoyed his work, in and out of the Grateful Dead, all around, the faster we go the rounder we get. Rolling Thunder, Diga Rhythm Band, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Dead and Company. Prolific musician and workingman.
Excited about upgraded Betty Cantor recording of 2/18/71. Also when American Beauty was released my old friend Jimi tripped out on the lettering on the cover. Was the first person I remember to see “American Reality”. More than we ever dreamed it would become , reality.
By The Way
Where in the hell is Bolo? It has been a long time.
And Otis?
GOGD, did you find a complete listing of the 375 reels from ABCD?
9/11/73
To my ears, perhaps the best of the fall '73 mini tour with horns. Definitely worth a listen. Might not be the most popular release if it were to ever see the light of day, but well worth the listen. I am right there with BobT, an enjoyable and noteworthy show from an enjoyable and noteworthy tour.
I'm paying the 3 dollars and coming back for the next night!!
To quote Phil and the end of Sugar Magnolia, from the 9/11/73 show..Morning everyone, I'm going to listen to 9/12/73 William and Mary... Bob t
9/12/91
PITB > Terrapin > PITB sandwich
I'm in!
Funny, I was just listening to So Many Roads comp disc 1 as I hadn't heard it in forever and was putting all GD releases on my phone in case we had to split.
BTW anybody got the 9/26/90 GD rehearsals that D Gans put on the Best of the GD Hour sampler CD?
Jam Out of Terrapin > PITB
I'd like to hear that there stuff, got the Hornsby stuff from 9/28 but never heard the above.
DV: No ABCD list as far as I can tell, but there's a nice list of Betty Boards in one of the Taper's Compendiums, I'll have to look for it when I have a minute.
Alright, Be Well All.
And that TLMD outtake on So Many Roads is worth visiting the next time you get a minute.
Sublime stuff.
9/12/91 I'm in
just finishing up concert where Phil says "this is the quiet part folks".... bob t
I’m a big fan of Fall ‘91
In fact, I like the whole Hornsby era.
But a Fall ‘91 Box would be cool.
Oakland?
MSG?
Boston?
Which to choose?
May have to draw straws.
Keeping with the 90’s theme
Now spinning a Vguy show, 5-31-92 Sam Boyd
Keeping the 90’s alive
Since the CD-R case in my living room containing 90’s shows I burned more than 10 years ago is open, I tossed in 3-30-94.
The ScarletFirePlayingDarkStar is awesome and worthy of official release.
DHB Friendly Two Day Bickershaw?
Something different and something good. Since it's such a long show, two discs a day should suffice.
Thoughts?
Jim 5/7/72
Jim, I would be in on that but I don't have this show.
Still working my way through 9/12/91. Great show, great recording.
I'm gonna throw in a wild card....
....Mickey Harts Mystery Box.
Happy Anniversary 9/16/72 Boston Music Hall
How I wish more than 8 songs existed on SB..... At least there is a Playin, Morning Dew, Dark>Star into Brokedown Palace, NFA>GDTRFB>NFA... bob t
Today's Pick
Decided to go with 3/24/73, Dave's Picks #32 for today. Of course it is 73.
Are we something like a month away from #36? My god, time is moving fast this year and very slow.
9/16/72
Nice pick. I'm not too familiar with this show. Well, it seems a couple folks on the archive claim this Dark Star is one of the greatest of all time. You never really know, do you?! I'm listening to a matrix now. The live music shutdown has given me a new appreciation for audience tapes.
There Ain't No Place I'd Rather Be
Won't You Carry Meeeeeeee!
Couldn't resist.
Thanks DV, been glancing in, but there's been just a few distractions. (insert eyeroll, face palm, the scream etc)
Meant to praise 9/16/72 yesterday, (nice work Bob T!)
Definitely check out the partial SBD portion, it's one of my personal favorites for sure.
If anybody has the FLAC files of the SBD easily accessible and wants me to patch that transition between Dark Star & Brokedown send em over, I've wanted to do that for awhile, but only have the Mp3 files.
Alright, be well all, and keep it goin', this is a fun little place to visit :)
Dave's 32
Finished my third or fourth listen of this gem. I love how some releases seem to get better with each listen and this one fits that bill. The whole show rocks, so many highlights. As others have mentioned Disc 3 is very special. The He's Gone-Truckin-Jam-Dark Star into the final three songs are just awesome.
Yes, #32,#33 and #34 are pretty sweet. Looking forward to what Dave has in store for #36. Okay, my money is going with 72 or April 78.
Stay well all.
Dave's Picks
DV - Yeah, as far as GD releases, we're in the golden age!
FWIW I still think we'll see a Pigpen Era release for DaP V36 circa '68-'70. Most likely '69.
Alright, I know the following for certain:
I'm jonesing to find out if I'm right or wrong :)
Announced in October right? Any theories on the date of the announcement ;)
10/17/82 possibly?
Hi Ya Jim!
Anybody wanna check out the new eBay Audience source of 10/17/82 that just got posted on archive?
https://archive.org/details/gd1982-10-17.150574.eBay.miller.flac2496
I wanna check it out at some point.
Just an idea since you were asking for a pick.
I was going to recommend Vegas 5.30.92 for today....
....but 10.17.82 works. It's Santa Fe!!. Strange show that was just a one off apparently. No tour to support it. Eleven song first set! Let's goooooo!!
82 or 92
VGUY - Either is cool w me!
I don't think I listened to the Pearson Upgrade of 5/30/92 either.
Too Much Dead Bros!!!
EDIT: 10/17/82 it is, look at that set list bro!
Post Space> Throwin'> GDTRFB> Wheel> Other One> Wharf Rat> Good Lovin'. Who does that?
The GD in '82 that's who!
We can do 5/30/92 tomorrow.

80 is past due, what about Gainesville? Course that’s not happen with the fourth pick...
69 is past due! Good bet except I don’t think they’ll go for fourth pick...
81, same as above..
So that leaves 72 and 78. I’m going with 78.
Of course there never seems to be enough 77...
Some day you’d think we’d get a 91, but not fourth pick...
GOGD Announcement dates
Last year #32 was announced on 22nd October and the 2020 subscription was announced on 30th October.
My guess would be 20th October for #36.
DaP V36 Announcement Dates
CG - Damn!
That's more than a month....
This pandemic is really warping time.
I didn't realize a pandemic could be so psychedelic, but I've definitely been tripping since March.
Good Stuff and nice sleuthing. I appreciate it, even if it spiked my jones.
Jeez, lotsa drug references ;)
OB - I'ma gonna grok on that there hypiothesissss thingy there for a minute. Nice work bro.
I still call Pigpen era!
Oroborous-1980
Yes, 1980 is of course extremely underrepresented, don't get me started on that. No idea what they are doing with 1980.
I think they will give us the heads up announcement the week before the seaside chat on October 20. Release date is October 30, which usually means I should have mine by November 15.
September 72 east coast tour
Never have done this before, but on 3rd show of tour today, 9/17/72 Baltimore.... (Dicks Picks something)... started with the Boston show back on the 14th on Monday... bob t
RE: September 72 East Coast Tour
You probably already thought of this, but it seems like 10/2/72 should get included too.
I wanna do that.
Best Part: Playing In The Band on every show!!!!
Sept '72 is some epic stuff.
Said it before, but I think '72 is my fave year.
Europe box announcement got me back into collecting the Dead after like 10 year hiatus.
After Europe box was released '72 was the first year that I collected all existing shows for.
Kinda envious there Bob T, gonna have to follow your lead one these here days.
Enjoy!
I'm listening to...
A tutorial.
Knowledge is good, but envy is not.
Re: Nov 15th
...of what year? :D
Fall '72. Interesting idea.. I've done E72 in sequence a couple times. The last time I did it.. I had to break out into a different era for a palate cleanse.
Did anyone commit to something for today?
Today's Listening Choices
Jim -
VGUY and I are checking out 10/17/82 - New Miller Audience (might not be as good as the other audience.. not sure what I think yet, anyhow it just popped up)
Also mentioned 5/30/92 (possibly tomorrow though)
Bob T - Going deep with September '72 tour journey.
November what year = Doh!
