Since we're all going to have a fair amount of spare time on our hands for the foreseeable future, what about starting another thread where we all listen to the same show/release on a given day and then share impressions afterward? Folks can submit suggestions and one person (not me) picks what we'll all listen to - call it Deadnet Picks or something. Anyway, if this idea is deemed to have merit, I'd suggest one of the loyal regular posters take the lead and do the picking - y'all can decide who. Might be fun. If it does go forward, I nominate Dick's Picks 18 for the first listen. Been talked about here lately, and, had it been a single show rather than a compilation, we'd probably be talking about it in the same conversation as Cornell, Veneta, etc. Or perhaps even Gainesville?? Stay safe and healthy, friends - this planet needs as many Deadheads as possible.

    Re: WTJ/OB/87

    First, I did not make the Spectrum that year and I cannot for the life of me remember why. Pre GPS, much like Washington DC, I was not a fan of Philly driving.. but I should have been at this one. Perhaps I had a test or midterm or something. My memories have faded.

    So 1987.. I'm sure I wrote of this before but Wilfred T's post reminded me. I do like DaP 36, an UltraMatrix to the exteme, it's basically a Matrix, and a decent one. I have a love hate relationship with 1987. I think I saw more shows in 87 than any other year. I was a Junior in college, gas was like a dollar five cents a gallon and I had recently bought a used corolla (which cost pennies to drive and almost never broke down).

    So I caught a bunch of shows, but man.. the recordings, although they do capture the energy, really..unless you are in the mood for an audience tape, are.. well...

    Trying not to be negative, but of all the UltraMatrix years, 87 for the most part (9/18/87 and a few others omitted) sound more like audience tapes than soundboards.

    I apologize for this review, but for a high year for me the tapes seem to mismatch my experiences more than other year. I consider this (and some other ultramix years) a lost opportunity of sorts.

    I'm currently tuned in, even though I am also currently working my way through DaP 36 in the car. '87 energy does it for me most times...

    1/24/71 has long been on my high list. So, it was fun to tune into that PigPen-fest again.

    Keep the hits coming and as always Stay Grateful :-)' :-)' :-)'

    Glad you liked it Bluecrow. My first listen as well. Good show. Recording is good, not mind blowing. Shakedown openers always bring a smile, good Stagger Lee, Box of Rain, Iko Iko, SOC into He's Gone, very enjoyable.
    You get a nice Truckin, Other One, Wharf Rat. Close it out with It's All over now. Baby blue. Worth a listen for sure.

    Did you get a chance to listen to 10/18/72? Interested in your feedback on the sound.

    Fine set of music. Nice sounding board. Pig clearly didn't have it all out of his system after Lovelight (neither did the band) and that launch into Good Loving is great. Awesome grunge version.

    That is a fun, energetic, Spring '87 show DV. New to me. Very enjoyable listen. Rocking Shakedown to start - reminded me of a favorite from 7/6 that summer. I saw the first 2 shows at the UIC Pavilion Chicago end of that spring tour. Only non-east coast shows and sort of overlooked cause of that. A joyous time - to have Jerry still with us, healthy and happy and ripping it up! Good to have those fairly recent Charlie Miller ultramatrix transfers for this tour.

    Looks like there is some NW '71 coming into view on the horizon.

    Mornin’ rockers, let’s rock!!

    Pick Of The Day: Seattle Center Arena, January 24 1971

    Care for a side order of Ian & Sylvia to go with your crunchy main course of hard rockin’ Grateful Dead??? All marrow, no gristle……….

    In January 1971 the Dead made a short excursion through the Pacific Northwest, four shows were scheduled, one was cancelled, and one rarely hears about any of this. Sonically speaking, the Davis and Eugene shows are not well preserved. That leaves Seattle as the best currently circulating surviving document from this month.

    And what a document it is!! It appears to be one long set. The Dead start off high with Truckin’, and they don’t throttle down. There’s a China/Rider for me, a Cumberland for JimInMD, and enough grease to keep HendrixFreak happy. Hope you’re doing well, my friend, but be careful---this might give you palpitations!!!

    In a way, this might even be considered historic, the last glimpse of the band before the seismic changes that would begin the following month in Port Chester and play out through the remainder of the year. And if you believe, as I do, that first and foremost the Grateful Dead were a rock and roll band, then you will probably enjoy this!!

    We are never further from what we wish than when we believe that we have what we wished for…..

    Rock on!!!

    Sorry about the Bills OB, we were pulling for them at my house.

    The good rats, that is a crazy story. Seemed like a lot going on that night and I love this show.

    Here is a change of pace for you, 3/30/87 from the good old spectrum in Philly.

    Damn

    Y’all told us NOT to lick the Toad so of course I did and phew, seemed to have lost a couple daze…

    Then it took me awhile to clean off the Gray Matter from where Daverocks head exploded after hearing about the big HW box ; )

    Ok, 1/15/79: overall, at least at first, I felt slightly underwhelmed at times? Good show, but not top shelf? So of course Dave will pick it lol. It’s hard to describe, like their playing ok, but tired, burnt..? or maybe I’m just projecting knowing what the outcome is? Perhaps I’m being overly critical, or perhaps like HF and his first, I’m extremely biased and would like to see a four disc Beauty of 1/10 and 1/20/79 and imagine instead only 1/15 getting released from that stretch, though 2/17/79 is great too!
    I imagine and would love a nice sandwich with NYE 78 and 2/27/79 surrounding a 1/10 and 1/20 middle, but at this point I’m starting to give up on getting anything I want…sighhhh.
    BUT…BUT, that Playing suite surely was a treat, especially that drum jam weirdness, PROPER!
    Admittedly I was doing chores during the first so I’m probably generalizing? But the first part of the second seemed to step it up, and then from Playing onward was a perfect lay back and groove stress melting slice of goodness that was sorely needed! Good call BC!
    Hit 1/17/68 for extra credit. Another fine, fairly tight outing with a mostly good recording cept a few distorty parts, probably old tape as Jimmy mentions? Always like the early alternate lyrics of most songs including TOO here, (and Sailor/Saint from 9/1/79).
    1/17/69 I have dug before, probably via doc lol. 1/17/70 is on the list…

    Hollander Stadium, funny you mention DV.
    I had my cherry popped earlier that year so was truly itching to go. I could have gone with my older DH friends but being “only” sixteen the rents weren’t about to let me go “all the way to Rochester!” with a bunch of hairy freaks, especially after a bogus drug bust landed some of them in the local paper lol.
    My poor mother rip, was terrified of all the R&R shenanigans, especially after she heard somewhere that “someone could stick you with a needle and drugs against your will and you won’t even know it until it’s too late” lol poor mom!
    Like, if someone’s got drugs they ain’t wasting it on my teenybopper ass lol.
    So unfortunately I’d have to wait until 11/9/79 for number 2.
    But I heard about it from my friends and they seemed kinda non plussed. The big news was how the promoter or the band? The Good Rats tossed rubber Rats out in the crowd who being unruly Deadheads from Deep Elem, promptly began pelting the band with the toy Rats lol. Literally booed them off the stage.
    Considered by many to be the poorest choice of an opening act in Dead history!
    I still chuckle thinking about poor Joan Jet opening for Bobby and the Midnights at a theatre in Crotchfester.
    So I finally listened to this one in the recent past and enjoyed it, though I wouldn’t call it top shelf.
    Hope you dug it DV as you continue your 79 odyssey!

    Go Bills, though I if they continue with their recent fuckery their going down.
    Last week was pathetic and I felt bad for vguy having to lose in such a way, but no offense the Bungals ain’t the Fish and if we play like the last couple weeks it’ll be over!
    Kinda like the way the VIKS went down : ( oh well, it’s ment to be entertainment, and this year it surely was for both teams!
    EDIT: oh we’ll touch of Gray…but it’s alright
    Upshot, we can listen to Dead shows on Sunday now instead of waisting time on fut ball!

    Hey rockers!!

    Picks Of The Day: Eagles Auditorium, Seattle January 22 & 23 1968

    Of all forms of caution, caution in love is perhaps the most fatal to true happiness….

    Caution? Did somebody say caution??!! Friends, throw your caution to the wind, and believe!! Believe that there is enough 1968 in the vault to release a 68 box. Yes some are mere fragments, but sometimes even fragments burn bright!!

    January 22: Folks, it’s all there! Starts with a cool, greasy, jammy Alligator followed by a long, seamless jam sequence that takes us through to the end of the show. Other One, New Potato, Cross Eyed, Spanish jam, Dark Star (in its early, short version), an early China Cat, Eleven, Caution. Need I say more???

    January 23: This appears to be a fragment, but includes a short, crunchy CE/TOO/CE flowing into the rare Clementine, New Potato, Born Cross Eyed, and another Spanish jam (sadly, cut).

    Go primal!!!!

    Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric…..

    Rock on!!

Wasn't it like $99 and you get the bonus disc or something?

Imagine, $85 free shipping and you get the bonus disc. Now that would be a thanksgiving to remember. ...or how about that jaw dropping asking price of $450 for the E72 trunk? So that would be $382.50. If we could only be king for a day....

I bought two copies when it came out in 2005, one for me and one for my brother. I hope they release it so everybody who wants it can have it.. If I didn't have it I would drop $1000. 00 dollars for an unopened copy with the bonus disc, I think it's that good.

I can hear Bob on Shakedown and World to Give... So i have been listening to 5/21/71 Garcia and Saunders new CD... I love The Wall Song!!!! Any other versions out there that I should hear.... Can't believe I've never heard him do this song before.. It is so good!!

P.S. Heading over to Denver Coliseum 11/20/73

Funny I woke up this AM wondering what tune we'd get today for 30 DOTD and thinking I might actually get 30 for 30 this year, something I've kinda wanted to do, but also something I wasn't opposed to not doing, because that would mean we'd get something unknown.

Well.. today's pick is a bit of the unknown.
Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.
Or in this case... guess, guess, guess.

Interesting little outtake. Location I'm guessing isn't listed and the Date is a speculation.
Dang Dave.. You Got Me!

Man, it must be kinda fun picking these out. Looking at last year we got a few unknown bits and the streak was broken early on the 9th day with an uncirculated studio outtake.

I guess 20 for 20 ain't bad.

BTW: After yet another far out voyage through 11/20/78, I had to go back and check out more November '72. Is this the best month for Playing In The Band? Sick sick stuff. 11/12/72 is a great show, sad the recording is jacked, but man what a smoker. The PITB on 11/13 is sooo good too, and Bear's Audience tape is incredible for '73. 11/14 is a really good show, but surrounded by Giants. And 11/22! Gotta hear it.

Alright, I'll tell you what's going on here.
Lay it on me.
I'm stalling... I don't want to break my streak.

"Steppin' free she places her feet where they fell before" - Bob Weir (Studio Demo of Weather Report Suite)

Hi-Ya Kids!

Not to keep flogging the same horse, but since there's not a pick slated for today and I've been digging into the stories around November 1972, I thought I'd share the following notes from Dick Latvala on 11/22/72 and see if anybody wants to listen to it today?

Here's what Dick was saying about it on 9/7/97 at 12:28am (he was probably really baked, but that's impressive because he still writes really well!)
The 2nd set jam from 11/22-Austin, is tremendous.
It goes like this: "He's Gone->Truckin->jam->drum solo->The Other One->jam->bass solo->The Other One->Stella Blue".
This version of "He's Gone" is one of the top 10 attempts ever. It is long and drawn out, and there is a nice long space before "Truckin", that consists of pleasing variations on the "He's Gone" theme.
This version of "Truckin" is exceptional in that it has a lengthy section at the end that relentlessly builds and builds till there seems to be no recourse but "The Other One". Instead, they opt for a "drum solo", which comes to a complete stop, and then Phil takes over and off we go into a long and treat-filled exploration of "The Other One" (The first verses don't start until after about 30 min.)
There are more highlights to this show. The versions of "Black-throated Wind", "China Cat->Rider", "Bird Song", "Playing in the Band", "Greatest Story", "Big River", "Ramble on Rose", "Sugar Magnolia", and "Saturday Night" each are notable and help define what an exciting show we have here.

I know this will be a surprise, but.. he's right you know!?!
It's an awesome show, and I think I'm going to listen to it again today.

Also, since this is long already and most have skip past it now, I'll keep going because...
I found some other cool stuff in relation to this November run of shows that I hadn't put together yet.

I was reading Parish's book last night and got to the chapter where he talks about wrecking the GD Truck driving between shows in Wichita and Texas late '72 and I thought to myself... self he's talking about those shows you've been tripping out on! And sure enough, he is. Steve and Sparky got into an accident hauling the gear between that 11/17/72 Wichita show and the 11/18/72 Hofheinz shows.

A news clipping about the 11/18 show states “The show started three hours late because one of the trucks carrying the band’s equipment overturned ‘on the only bend in the straight highway between here and Wichita Falls’.”

The Allman Brothers Band were supposed to play as well, but cancelled after the death of bass player Berry Oakley on 11/13.

Trippy serendipitous connections there.

Anyhow, to further drive my current hypothesis that the November '72 Playing In The Band jams are the most killer I've listened to all week and possibly ever.
Here's what Dick said in 1997 -
The last 5 shows in Texas, are each worth getting. The quality is not
so hot, but the playing is ferocious. On 11/18, in Houston, there is a
major, top 10 of all-time, version of "Playing in the Band". (I am
starting to think that this period has possibly the most intense versions
ever for this defining piece of music.)
LATVALA!

Good stuff.

Enjoyed 11/21/73 yesterday, and am not surprised at all by how great it is.

And finally, yesterday's DOTD was not from Uniondale, NY and I guessed the date right :)

Alright, be well all, enjoy some tunes and if you read all this and desire, follow your bliss, head on over to 11/22/72.

I really like the Denver show from 11/21/73. There is also a bonus cd from this release, Cleveland 12/4/73, which is sweet.

So last night my wife tells me there is a box of CDs upstairs and some of them are Grateful Dead CDs. I of course went to check it out. A lot of the studio releases I had acquired over the years. Also, in the stash was the Mars Hotel reissue from I believe 2006. I always loved this release and popped it in this morning. So great, sound is fantastic. Unbroken Chain is so great and Pride of Cucamonga is awesome. I really wish they broke out UBC before 1994.
It includes bonus tracks from 73 and 74. Scarlet Begonias from Winterland 74, Money Money from PNE, Wave that Flag from Dap #16, Let it Rock from Dap #34 and some studio outtakes. Great stuff. I love finding these hidden treasures.

I was thinking about the 15% sale they are running with free shipping.
Sounds great, however, when you go through the site, besides the remaining box sets, there really isn't much product for sale. Too bad, they really need to get more product on this site. I would love to take advantage of sales like this. And of course if you buy something, there is a chance it might not ever come. So sad.

Alright 11/22/72, I will check that out GOGD.
Stay well folks.

I didn't have this show loaded on any devices.. but I had it. I have been getting more picky lately about tagging and listening to the best version and my 11/22 wasn't the best, which meant grabbing the best, converting it from SHN to Wav, then alac and flac, then loading this into my device.. etc.

I was sloppy when I built my digital library all those years ago. I didn't keep great notes and documentation, so I am trying to improve upon this and keep lossless copies of wavs, flacs and alacs. I have visions of pulling down the best version of every show in a modern (not SHN) lossless format, but apparently I am a slacker.

So this is my tomorrow's listen.

First world problems, I know..

But I am completely absorbed by the hype, I am all in on this one.

In keeping with our Texas theme.... El Paso County Coliseum for today? No tape available back in the day... Deadbase VI only had a few songs listed..... but it has been around for a while now. Bob t

$5 would get you in to see the Grateful Dead at El Paso County Coliseum 47 years ago today!
(around $29.32 today.. about the cost of a Dave's Picks!)

I'm hip Bob T.
I like November's in Texas.
(sung to the tune of "I Love Paris" ala Screamin' Jay Hawkins, if you haven't heard that do yourself a favor!)

Thanks all who took the Trip back to 11/22/72 yesterday, hope you had a good one in the "November to Remember". (lil take on "No Bummer Summer", coffee's working or maybe it's just Dad joke syndrome.)

I listened to multiple parts, multiple times and really really dig that show.
(BTW the above description is a wonderful example of late 1980s midwest high school writing class and what I got out of it. Oh well, I guess I was too busy thinking about going to see Grateful Dead shows. I literally never imagined trying to write about them on a virtual platform called the "internet" oh... let's say, 33 years later with a bunch of cool heads that are stuck at home in a pandemic.)

Wow, maybe I'm tripping.. is this the fabled flashback?!?!

PS - Last night I came across the following tale. According to Steve Parish on 2/7/79 Jerry randomly snatched a handful (4?) of Valiums out of Scully's hand and gulped them before the show to the surprise of Kidd, Parish & Rock. If you listen to Set 1, it sounds like this indeed happened. In the classic words of Johnny Carson, I did not know that.
Random, but I thought I'd share.

Have it going now Bob t and it is sounding really good. Only two songs in, but my god, sound quality is A+ so far. These shows from Relisten via the archive are so hit or miss. Some sound great and some sound terrible. I am too old to listen to the terrible ones anymore.

Good stuff GOGD, and you can definitely hear some uneven performances over the years and I am sure the drugs had a lot to do with it.

Be well folks.

I'm in. I have a big work project to do today so I should be able to give this one a nice uninterrupted listen.

Got a soft machine

I hear the Playing In The Band on 11/24/72 is another must listen version from Texas.

Actually it's the 5 star rating I gave it in iTunes at some point, but you get the drift.

And today's DOTD pick may be the true streak buster, I just don't know the day of the month on that one.
But cool, maybe I'll learn something new about it!

Great show. It is November 73. Really good He's Gone, Truckin into The Other One. And what is the deal with that noodling at the end of the Other One? Interesting. Solid Eyes, GDTRFB, Casey Jones. Really good.

Will have to come up with a pick for tomorrow. Might be time to mix it up a little.

Pickers of the Day!! I really enjoyed the 72-73 November run...Just ran a quick errand and Dave had Feyline Field playing for today in GD history.... Have a good time with whatever you are doing over this weekend. Bob t

And good call Rogue for the Jamaica show!!! The Scarlet>Fire is really cool....

Vguy, we did 4/1/1990 already, but there have been a lot of repeats since March, which to me is okay, lots of great shows out there.

Enjoy The Thanksgiving Holiday all!

Hi folks!

I actually have a chance to listen today, and based on the suggestions, I think I'm going to take a tour of the 80s! Rogue's Jamaica 82 show, followed by VGuy's 85 Red Rocks, finished with DeadVikes 90 Omni show! Looks like a good day of some Brent-era jams!

Happy early Turkey day! I hope you all are safe, warm, and happy!

Echo Bob T here, I really enjoyed the November '72-73 run relisten. I focused in on the '72 stuff in a different light than I had in the past and am just blown away with how epic that run is! I'm making note of it in my brain as a hot spot in this 30 year archive. Thanks for all who took the trip, hope you enjoyed the ride as much as I did.

Early '80s Dead sounds good. Literally ;)

I haven't done Jamaica '82 in a long time. Is that when they played at like 4am? I noticed the date in DeadBase Jr as 11/26 assuming that's due to time played.

Yesterday broke my 30 Days streak I went 23 for 23 until them old rehearsal tape blues got me again.
Ain't bad, this has been my best year for guessing by far. I had the month, year and location for the rehearsal yesterday, but was thinking early March rehearsal verses late March rehearsal. Should've known the GD would play a couple of shows and think, yeah maybe we should rehearse before tour. Plus that April '82 shit is hot, and rehearsal really did pay off for this band.

I would've gotten that damn Crazy Fingers date if it wouldn't of been for those meddling kids and their damn dog! Scoooby!!

Wonder where 3/26/82 date came from and if we'll hear anymore from that? So far there's the Crazy Fingers and 2 Jam tracks in circulation from old Taper's section. Tell us more Dave.

Alright, sounds like we're all due for an Era change and I like the '80s.

Be Well All.

Must be Montego Bay! Thanks RogueDeadGuy – I was only aware of the versions of this show listed on the Archive as "11/26/82". This Miller transfer dated 11/25 looks like a definite upgrade. Thanks for the link!

Not sure I’ve heard any of this? Certainly not the whole show...
Going with 9/24/82 first. Lots to do today so need a double header.
Dug that 81 back? A week or so, not so much that 11/20/78?
Most of the 73 was dope...haven’t had time for all the 72...
Onward!

“When the pilgrims came we made them a plate”. A native friend Darlene said on thanksgiving a few years ago.

I am digging this show RDG. Thanks for the pick. Can you imagine seeing the Dead in Jamaica? At the Bob Marley house? So cool. Sound quality is really good so far.

4/2/1990 is a great show, check it out if you haven't listened in a while and you get a Death Don't Have No Mercy. I love the Foolish Heart in this show. Stay well out there and enjoy the day.

The last DDHNM in fact.. so sad, what I great tune. Happy that I caught one, I mark it as every bit as great as my first Dark Star in the same show.

I am doing Jamaica too.. because, well, why the hell wouldn't I?

Happy belt loosening day all.. May the four winds blow your waste safely home to it's pre-thanksgiving girth.

I used to have the cassette tape for Austin. Listened to it a lot while living in southern Mexico. Have had the hofheinz , Houston CD since it was released. Never listened to the whole Texas segment of the tour before. I started with Wichita. Amazing run of Grateful Dead.
Will also check Mo Bay, Jamaica later. Finishing San Antonio today.
Stay safe , be well.

I made it through three of these shows but feel the need to revisit in order. There is a there there for this run. A great period in GD history.

Thanks to whoever put us on this tangent and to those that supported and contributed. I finally got 11/17..

Hi-Ya!

Hope you all are having a good Thanksgiving weekend.
Thankful for all the sweet shows we've been able to jam to together, discuss and breakdown during this year.
Cheers to all!

Glad so many enjoyed that Texas '72 trip, that is a real highlight for me and can't get over how well they played those shows.
Bob T - how would you rate October '72 to the November '72 Texas trip?
I feel like I could spend a lot of time in September, October and November '72 and never stop being amazed.

Good stuff.

Been enjoying the 30 DOTD, anybody else over here playing?
27-28 with 2 more to go.

Yesterdays trip into 1991 had me going to Vegas for the rest of the show. Good one.

Speaking of tripping...

Anybody want to dust off Dick's Picks Vol 3?
1977-05-22 - Pembroke Pines

Doesn't look like we've had that as a POD.

A new transfer of that show showed up the other day and put it on my radar. Boy is that a good show!
That set 2 is etched into my brain.
I listened to DiP yesterday but want to listen to the transfer today and check out the tracks that were left off.
But while I was listening I felt a little guilty that it wasn't the Pick Of The Day, because it's so good!!

Anyhow, I thought about you all and figured some of you would enjoy giving it a spin.

Alright, be well all.

I am for sure in on 5/22/77, thanks GOGD. I will also check out the full release. Hopefully, there will be an upgrade on the recording.

Yesterday, I watched Classic albums, The making of Dark Side of the Moon on Amazon Prime. This was really cool. What a release. I think this was the first CD I purchased in maybe 1985. When this ended, guess what pops up, classic albums The making of Anthem of the Sun and American Beauty. I have never seen this before. This was really cool. Came out in maybe 1997. Really great old footage. The most Hunter interviews I have ever seen. Produced by David Gans. Gans makes the comment that The Dead were about self determination. Amen! I think that is something that has always drawn me to the band.

Anyway, check this out if you have never seen it.

Stay well.

Love that video, it's amazing and prior to LST it was my go to Dead documentary video.
VH1 Legends from 1996 is a good one too if you come across it.
But Anthem To Beauty is great.

Funny, I was revisiting LST last night :)

Great Stuff!

Yeah, haven’t gone there in forever...
Anthem to Beauty is awesome! Fortunate to have scored that on DVD back when...
That VHS doc also is good fo shore!

DV, too funny, you said Dark Side was one of your first CDs, it was probably the second album I bought after Framptom Comes Alive! On vinyl of course as that would of been mid seventies lol.
It’s so cool how this great music has stood the test of time and still very interesting to these younger generations.
I read about a record store guy in Jersey I think who said most of the young teenage male shoppers that come in have the same Zeppelin tee shirts, or Hendrix, or Dead and buy all the same albums we did. If they do go with something else, it’s a Greta Van Fleet or something very similar, next gen? or what not....pretty cool and a testament to how remarkable it all was and that we’re hopefully not JUST some old nostalgia duffers stuck in the glory days.
I guess thinking minds are thinking minds and no matter what the generation they can tell the difference between market driven, path of least resistance, machine like “creation” and something genuine and unique....ya know, like a band we all know and love!
Long Live Rock & Roll

EDIT: interestingly, the first CDs I bought when I bought my first player in 1986 were Blood Sweat and Tears Child is Father to the Man and Sgt. Peppers. Interesting because of how being a dead head for almost 10 years at that point had influenced my precious decision to get the weirdest, most psychedelic things I could find (didn’t get Dead cause I had all that on vinyl and wanted to expand my collection rather than replace it, yet here we are all these years later still doing both every chance we can! ; )

Both are awesome!!!! Same feel and level of play, for me at least!!! Good call on the Sportatorium for today!!! By the way, Boston Music Hall anniversary from 1973 is right around the corner!!! Don't forget 12/1/73 hasn't been released yet!!!! 11/30 &12/2/73 got the 4 disc treatment on Dick's Picks!! I am going to pack my bags for another virtual tour... First stop Tremont Street starting Monday.... Bobt

Just spent 2 days painting the living room (including sanding and wiping down the walls for prep).
Tomorrow will shampoo the carpet (rake leaves while the carpet dries), then hang TV on wall (drilled the mount holes before painting), move the furniture back in, and reconnect CD/stereo and BluRay/theater systems.

I hooked up the stereo in an adjacent room for tunes while working.
On Thanksgiving I moved a bunch of shows from a torrent HD to a music player (shows I haven’t heard and upgrades of shows I know and love).

The playlist so far (in reverse order):
9-30-72 8184.sbd.Clugston (playing now)
9-24-91 138150.dsbd.GEMS
6-10-73 89730.sbd.miller
5-26-73 83535.sbd.miller.patched
9-21-91 138148.dsbd.GEMS
7-27-73 27779.sbd.miller
10-21-72 Set2% 94409.sbd.miller

As you can see, a fine helping of 72/73 with a couple of Bruce palate cleansers.
Groovin’ with GOGD is the only way to paint.

The full show is tight. This is another 77 barn burner. This Miller transfer sounds fantastic. That second set is something. That Estimated-Eyes-Wharf Rat-Terrapn minus the lady with a Fan, into Morning Dew is crazy good. Thanks for the pick GOGD!

Here is an idea for Rhino, go back and release this full epic show and other chop jobs. Call it Dick's reloaded, put out 10,000 copies. People would eat it up.....

So great Oroborous, is there a better release than Dark Side, not too many.

Frampton Comes Alive. I still play this and within the last ten years picked up a DVD Audio copy. And it sounds unbelievably good in Multi Channel. And you get Bill G!

It is good to keep this great music rolling!
