Mr Ones, check your pm...…………….

Rock on,

Doc

The theory makes a lot of sense, but I hope it's not the truth. Between Reckoning and the 2019 RSD release, there's hardly any need for more of that material. Even those two releases feel slightly redundant in my collection.

Thank you Daverock! I am lacking an email from Real Gone about this one, so your post had me rush right over there, and my heart sank when I saw SOLD OUT, but then clicked anyway and saw it should go onsale around 2/1, so just gotta be quick with the order next Monday. They did up the number to 2000 copies from 1500 for DiP 26, but that ain't a lot. Look forward to getting that one in my collection. I have Portland 5/19/74 on its way across the ocean now.

Speaking of ABB/Dead, with the ABB having a new record company that is releasing archival material, wonder if now the time is ripe for Kirk West (ABB archivist) and Dave Lemieux to become buddies like Dick and Kirk, and maybe work out a box with Fillmore 1970 material, RFK '73, and maybe Watkins Glen or ABB NYE 1973 with Jerry and Bill the Drummer. Dillon Stadium 1972 also featured an ABB sit in. If they both produced a box, that wouldn't necessarily have to count against a box set for this year, right?

Dave's copy of DaP 37 is on the way as can be seen thru his twitter feed, here's hoping the rest of us get a tracking notification within the next few days.

Alvarhanso - that one is exceptional. I always balk at the price, but I haven't regretted buying any of these reissues yet.
Two and Three from the Vaults are on the way, as vinyl reissues, too. They keep pushing back the release dates. I have just plumped for Two. So far.

I'm too lazy to look at the setlists, but yeah, after four packed CDs of acoustic '80, another four might get mighty redundant. But if DL hints at an '80 acoustic box, we "do the math."

A similar but different question arises for '68. Similar setlists -- but the charm lies in the massive variations in execution. Complicating the picture: the shows tended to be one long, 75-90 minute set, as the GD often appeared with other bands at shows that year, plus the presumed, relative scarcity of '68 tapes suitable for release still in the Vault. We know they have 8-21-68, cuz they're giving it out on vinyl with that creepy "Origins" "book." (How 'bout an RSD with 8-21-68 on CD??)

The likeliest candidates for a box this year, to my mind, remain 1969-1972. A trio of double-disc spring '69 would do quite nicely....... I don't "need" anything over $200, after [code word] 2020.

Hey Hendrixfreak,

Check your PM.

personally (again in my opinion), I hope it's not an acoustic set. They have their own charm, but if you are going to do a box of GD, do a box of the Fire-Breathing Love Beast.

1968
1969
1970
1971
1972
1973
1974
Summer 85

etc.

mawr, mawr, mawr!!!

My guess.....is that it is a full Warfield/RCMH FALL 1980 Box Set. There is no way they would do just an acoustic box set from these runs. Hell, they already put out of course Reckoning, then the 2004 Reckoning release with bonus disc, then last year both 10/9-10/80 full acoustic set shows. The 2004 bonus disc included lots of extras from these acoustic sets, and basically another full acoustic set from 10/23/80.
There is no need to do a Fall 1980 ACOUSTIC box set, the best of these sets is out there. And frankly, as mentioned the acoustic sets were great, but very repetitive from night to night.
My guess(hope) is we are looking at a full FALL 1980 box set from both Warfield & RCMH multi-nights. Even if these aren't done in the original multi-track formats, there have got to be good soundboards of these shows for them to work with I would think???? I hope that they have 10/14/80 included in the box as a full show. This to me is one of the best setlist of any time period. BRING ON THE NEWS DL & RHINO!!!!!!!!

Will we see a seaside chat video for Dave's 37 ?

I enjoy hearing Dave's thoughts on the shows being released, as well as the seaside wildlife observations ?

Hoping that shipping goes more smoothly for this release than for 36.

The 2021 subscriptions page is marked "sold out". Is it possible that all of the Dave's picks were sold via subscription this year, so there won't be single show sales and accompanying pages ?

Good humor there on the Seinfeld and Mail Innovations. Agree completely.

Cheers Ya'll

I think no way on 1980 acoustic box. Dave has talked about the lack of tapes and just released two shows on the RSD release. I don't think that's what we'll see this year.

It’s the subscription that is ‘sold out’,:a better description is that the subscription is no longer available. The single volume sales are, supposedly, starting on the day of issue, so 29th Jan for #37. Since the seaside chats are to encourage the sale of the individual shows I’d expect it to appear on 29th. Let’s hope so. I particularly enjoyed the one where he kept looking around in case a bear was sneaking up to photobomb the recording.

Way better than Oct. '80

into the pool was not justified. Just to review what I told DeadVikes, DL had been on Twitter last weekend and said anyone interested in relaxing GD (imagine!) should put on Reckoning. Someone responded: "I feel like you're telling us something good (in terms of a box set, that is)." DL responded "that's exactly what is happening." So you could get the impression that DL leaked box set news.

I think in retrospect that all DL saw was the beginning of the response to him, not the bit on the box set. Then our former forum-mate, Kate, posted the info on the '80 acoustic returned reels. I "did the math."

a) DL isn't going to casually leak the biggest news of each year like that, b) only PNW 73-74 leaked prior to announcement, c) an '80 acoustic box doesn't make sense, as posters here have pointed out.

HEY, I'M BACK TO FALL '72!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8/21/68 playing on my record player tonight!
Now “This is PRIMO!” ...
The ‘Bear’ s tricks again! Loving the Audio Quality is top notch my brothers& sisters! Oh man I’m a grateful DeadHead today! The mastering is out this world! I’m dig’n this ‘Dark Star’ a whole lot, even for being a live take less than 15 minutes but WoW I feel like I’m floating in Space into St. Stephen then a Primo 11 minutes of ‘The Eleven’! recordings are jaw dropping amazingly beautiful as usual!!! 1968
This is a grateful way to start off the new year! Well worth the wait! My limited edition number is #525/6,800. I give this book five dark stars,lol, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for primo art production &quality from A thru Z & back again. This special Edtion Boxset & Art Prints are already have found a place in my library & record collection in My music room! Primal dead all the way folks ! Rock on !!! 1968

Got my shipping notice this morning, Dave's 37 is inbound.

Take cover!

\m/

I got my Origins box today. Great art, fun book. The vinyl is a nice glimpse into '68. I'm not a big fan of the extreme panning of inputs side-to-side, but I suppose I could collapse it to mono if I wanted to. Oddly, it says this was "produced" by Healy, not Owsley. Usually Healy had more sense than that.

I think it will be one facility, different years. Maybe Greek, Frost, or Winterland, take your pick.

Me too.

morning folks,
my dave's is on the way too, to germany, will take about four to eight weeks. always happy when it arrives.
new box: different years, same place - sounds good. 69 and 72 as well. come on dave, give us some chat.

Time for Dave to Let the Good Times Roll. Drop the Seaside Chat, cabin fever has already set in.
Curious about the filler show on this release.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MDCNbacVt5w. Son House, WOW! Garcia sang this song on 10/30/68 With Mickey Hart & The Heartbeats at the Matrix in S.F.

This was a night that the band was ON. Listen and you'll see.

1 Grateful Dead fan can't be wrong (Can he)??

Still no Dave's 36 here even thought tracking shows it was handed from UPS to USPS on October 28. Numerous calls and emails have gone completely unacknowledged. I'm beginning to wonder if I should have subscribed again in 2021 after all. Would be the first year since the beginning...

I have had that show in my on-deck case for a few days.

This is the day to hear it. Thank you for the prompt.

Some one origins page posted this link for an origins download

My apologies if this was already posted

So, yea... I passed the I am not a robot test... so let me see if I can pass this one :-) Dave, I have been on board for all 10 years... you've never let me down... I cant wait for 37 to hit this week. Thank you... I really appreciate all of the efforts you and crew have given this DaP project over the years... seriously, epic sh!t you have put out for us all to enjoy forever! Peace, and hope you and all of our Dead.Net family & friends remain safe until we can all shake them bones together one more time! (at least!) Thank you, iGrateful

Well put iGrateful, we're some of the luckiest fans in the world. These archival releases are such a reliable source of joy in a world where most things are anything but. Hoping to get my shipping notice for 37 soon!

You are so right. We are a lucky bunch.

release 6-10-73? Is that the strategy here?

Check out the special edition shop, assuming Dave will cover these brand new merchandise releases including the glass in the seaside chat coming today. Very cool!

Drpryan

....thanks for the "heads" up. On it.
Also, I found this. Makes perfect sense!

Hey Dave, all right? when are you going to relaunch the collection for those fans who have lost some numbers? Thank you. Claus of Brazil.

Agree, thanks for the heads up about the glasses.

With them only producing 1,000, it maybe real hard to get the last couple of the 4 glass set! Maybe it should have been an add on for the DaP series this year!

FYI - the coffee mug their selling with Dave fishing on it is a GREAT mug if you like your coffee LARGE. I have 3 of these TYPE mugs. Use them everyday for my bean. For their size, they are light and don't conduct heat.

I know, I know,,, you didn't come here for a dissertation on coffee mugs!

Time to go refill mine and bang the bong,,,,, sorry, bang the gong.

see the boats go sailin'
can David hear
what the little fish are sayin'

or what the squirrel is sayin'
or the seagulls
or the hawks...

aha! an otter this time!

I have a 10 mug Grateful Dead collection I've assembled over the years. The crown jewel is The Closing of Winterland. Double-sided, painted perfectly with very fine detail, professionally crafted - not some cheap knock-off that fades over time. It's Jeff Smith quality. Goes for $225 on eBay, just one available, but I was lucky enough to find a second one for 25 bucks a couple of years ago.

Ah, Down By the Seaside- probably my favorite Zeppelin album side:

In the Light
Bron Yr-aur
Down By the Seaside
Ten Years Gone

Still not sure how the song Houses of the Holy missed the cut and ended up in the can for use on Physical Graffiti, but it made that two-headed monster all the better.

My 15 year old, insulated stainless steel Morning Brew mug still delivers the caffeine.. It's dented and scratched by now.. but still wakes me up each morning with a smile and some tasty java.

Just finished a cup of super black and oily Columbian Supremo super duper dark roast.
Jim knows what I mean, he’s the one who convinced me to buy a bean roaster.

I have a can of Espresso Stout in the fridge.
Think I’ll kick off the evening with that.

Checkered Demon says they’re out back of the filling station.
I’m permanently scarred.
I blame it on S.Clay Wilson, R.Crumb, Gilbert Shelton, Rick Griffin and Zap Comics.
I better throw in Batman and Superman. Both the television shows and D.C. Comics.
There was also Mad Magazine.

Grateful Dead, now that’s been good clean fun.

Espresso stout, now that sounds good! If I had to choose 1 non hard liquor for the rest of my life it would be Guinness Stout with the nitrous cartridge. Mmmm....balloons....Okay well that fit has passed. Talk about your flashbacks. Just the word makes me salivate like a Pavlov dog. Ain't it a bitch.

My Dave's Picks 37 should be here by sundown Wednesday. I've been avoiding the post Hiatus era like the plague, just to make Dave's Picks 37 all the fresher. I've had some great April 1978 soundboards for a long time now that I received from the Man in the Castle, but I've never really listened to them because I figured there would be a time when they would be officially released, and if possible I like the first listen to be of a Full Norman. There are plenty of exceptions of course, just not April '78.

Yeah I like the dark roast as well. Starbucks French roast really does it for me. I have the hook up that gets me a 72 K cup box for $30. That's crazy inexpensive. Keurig makers really do make the perfect cup of coffee every time.

I had been doing a lot of mixes lately, but then someone commented on only listening to complete shows, so I've switched back and listened to "The Dead in Denmark" (4/16/72). Interestingly, this show was on the Rolling Stone top 20 Grateful Dead show lists. And so it became my first Europe 72 show, having missed the steamer trunk box set when they came out, and having been too soon to realize I needed all 22 shows via Music Only Edition. This is the no Donna show. There is also no Dark Star and a very abbreviated 2 part Other One totalling a mere 6 minutes. There IS a 16 min Jam after Truckin' so that counts for something. Still a little bit of an oddball show to put in a top 20 list of their career. I may run that Truckin' medley back later.

Right now I have Ramble on Rose on the headphones from "Treckin' Through Copenhagen" 4/14/72. Pure genius to multitrack every show on that tour. We are indeed a lucky bunch. Jerry throws a little bitta China Cat in at the end of Not Fade Away, Part I. I hear him do that once in awhile during Jams. I also noticed he throws a little St. Steven into a Jam once in a while too.

Starting to feel like early '73... or maybe that PNW box. Yes that's it.

The Dave's 37 glass looks cool. Trying to decide if I'm up for an extra scramble every time a new Dave's drops this year. . . [Edit: Never mind – they're already sold out.]

When the talk here shifted to mugs, it made me think of the one I designed six years ago for the Sunshine Daydreamers as we started gearing up for Fare Thee Well shows in Chicago. I checked, and they're still available on Zazzle if anybody's interested:
https://www.zazzle.com/pd/spp/pt-zazzle_teapot?tdid=4ab00e97-a879-4ba7-…

You can also order other items (like pint glasses) with this design. Even a tea pot???

Decided the crack out the Espresso Stout early.

16oz of 8.3%, so I’ll sip on it.
Grist House brewery
Batteries Included

Hey IceCream – how're those Espresso Stouts coming along? Yum! We even have breweries out here in the Trans Pecos. About time to crack open a Desert Fog (Hazy IPA) from Marble Brewery in Albuquerque. They're solar powered, but at only 6.8%, sipping is optional. Onward.

I dragged out that Espresso Stout for almost 2 hours.
Then moved on to multiple Bell’s Bright Whites, and still going....

Good chugging beer. Had a bunch tonight. P.S.- I know , who cares.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=utNwlr1Bxc8. Garcia talks about the bust.

Started with Mexican hot chocolate. (Ibarra) from the round cake variety, added powdered carob. Then I drank Folgers coffee. I remember the smell of roasting coffee entering San Francisco on the East Bay Bridge originating from the Hills Brothers Factory.
As Phil Lesh said on the night of October 20, 1974 at Winterland , ”God bless San Francisco”.
