"Passenger," followed by full-on versions of "Friend Of The Devil," "El Paso," "Brown-Eyed Women," and a double-barreled "Let It Grow>Deal." Catch your breath and straighten out your tricorne because the 2nd set shows no bounds with delightful takes ("Bertha>Good Lovin'," "One More Saturday Night") and introspection ("Candyman," "Playing In The Band"). Then - great fifes and drums - it's 15 minutes of "Rhythm Devils," with band and crew gathered round to amplify the merriment before delivering a rare incantation of "Not Fade Away>Morning Dew" that sets the soul alight. Pure jollification!

    Many Thanks All

    ..and to our good Doctor, I have been pretty good at taking the '71 plunge so far, I had not listened to many of these April shows before. In light of recent glowing praise for this date in GD History, I set the wayback for 4/14/71.

    Also.. as documented in the amateur malingerer's handbook, April 14th is national leave two hours early from work for a fictitious dental emergency day. It's a twofer for fun day, it is written in the stars.

    Speaking of 14's....

    Doc, today's -71'er looks pretty interesting. I will take a dive. A second set kickoff with an early Bird Song? Yes please.

    Speaking of Fourteens, lest we not forget the mammoth from Europe '72 that was on this date. Perhaps the most explosive Dark Star of the lot (at least this was my recollection when I did a full E'72 DS Review a few years back). The show is impeccable with many many fine moments:

    https://archive.org/details/gd1972-04-14.sbd.miller.34552.sbeok.flac16

    All these stories about wraaaaaaslin' & GD sharing moments is gold!
    I said pure GOLD, JERRY!

    And Jimmy - fully agree, mine and all of ours should be 'Two-Wall-Of-Sound-Homes'. And maybe a third that is outside in the yard, as a playset for the kids. Monkey bars aka Phil's sky-high scaffolding. Press the 'Phil Bomb' button and the whole set shakes like an earthquake, the goal to hold on kinda like a buckin' bronco.

    Be Well People!

    50 years ago today…..

    April 14, 1971
    Davis Gym, Bucknell University, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania

    Set 1: Truckin'-Deal-Me & Bobbie McGee-Next Time You See Me-Bertha-Playing In The Band-Sing Me Back Home-Me & My Uncle-China Cat Sunflower> I Know You Rider-I Second That Emotion-Casey Jones

    Set 2 Bird Song-Sugar Magnolia-Cryptical Envelopment > drums> The Other One > Wharf Rat-Hard to Handle-Not Fade Away> Goin’ Down The Road Feelin’ Bad> Not Fade Away> Johnny B. Goode

    “In their penultimate Pennsylvania performance, the Grateful Dead…….”

    A powerful and deep show, wonderfully designed and perfectly executed by the Dead, crackling with energy, a supernova of a show that blows away almost everything else played that month. How did they do it? Did they all drop acid? I’ll even ignore the fact that there are only two Pigpen tunes. The band is on fire, every tune here works, cosmic reflections of all that was good and pure about the Dead’s music that month. Rocking all over the place, with wonderful slices of country, soul and psychedelia, on this night everything the Dead touches turns to gold and pure bliss. Somehow, some way, on April 14 1971, in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, the Dead played a show for the ages………

    Rock on!!!

    Doc
    Music is truly love itself, the purest, most ethereal language of the emotions, embodying all their changing colors in every variety of shading and nuance…..

    Re: Inside Hook Wall of Sound Model

    Every basement needs a 1/6th scale, fully functional Wall of Sound. I saw that too.. but it took Sixtus to post it. Good job.

    Scratch that.. you really need two. A 1/6 scale in the basement and a 1/3 scale in the back yard. Like a 2 car garage, we need a 2 Wall of Sound house. ...and just imagine if two or three deadheads lived on the same block.

    Ha.. nice story KF. Way to keep it together under duress. It's good to see highly skilled partiers practicing their craft. I think we all have our burger king cup story to tell.

    To your point, there was always a shot that a Phillies game was letting out the same night as any during concert season. They certainly didn't plan around it, and it sounds like you're familiar with Philly - the Vet and the Spectrum were right across the street from each other, so coming and going could be a real mess since we we were all pretty much driving the same direction. That led to a lot of post-show balloons while waiting for the lots to clear out (that was my excuse anyway). Will never forget grabbing a day-of ticket to the Stones on the Bridges to Babylon Tour. Baloons and beer before tailgating with some new friends, great seat for the show next to the stranger guy who sold his ticket to me over the internet (his buddy bailed last minute and he had an extra ticket and extra joints). Great show, but I only recall Crazy Mama. More balloons in the parking lot after the show, and the a long wait in the line for the bridge. And then the queasy feeling. And then the realization that the stop and go traffic was due to a cop directing cars onto the Walt Whitman Bridge. And the awful luck of being first in line when he next raised his hand to gesture cars to stop. The realization that I WAS going to chuck my cookies before it was my turn to go, and that this man was 10 yards from me. I grasped for a half-full Burger King cup in the drink holder and was resigned to spending the night in the tank, but he somehow was looking at the other traffic he was waving in when the time came for me to chuck said cookies. Made a mess of myself but made eye contact when it was my turn and saluted him as I drove by and made my way to the bridge.

    What a great box set idea, if there were enough '74 shows left to warrant a box set. Package it in a Wall Of Sound Replica, maybe made out of titanium or at least die-cast metal. Maybe just start remastering all of the old Dick's Picks from '74 that don't sound quite as snappy as, say 30 Trips or Jai-lai (did I get that right?) Or the awesome sounding PNW '74 shows. Just, just a boatload full of those shows in a Wall of Sound box package made out of that new magnesium compound the Chinese developed. And throw in Chicago 7/25 so we have that final Dark Star. Someone get Rhino, Pinkus, and Lemeux on the line; tell them there's business to discuss, by oder of the Peaky Blinders!

    I wasn't at the Spectrum that year. mmm.. that did jar a memory loose though. I guess it's not that uncommon to have parking lots that share crowds and venues that multi task. ..but a bridge too far, I was not at the spectrum on or near 84 through 87.

    I read Spectrum, and 1986 Libya bombing, and I can tell you that's what was on the news when my brother, cousin, and I came home home from my first Rush concert, Power Windows Tour, April 14, 1986. That's all I've read of your post so far, but thought it was funny.

    I’m positive it was the Spectrum and that it was 86 or 87, but not sure which year?
    I’m pretty sure it was 86 partially cause they Played Midnight hour encore that year and it would of been well past midnight...
    It was also sort of a short show which would of made sense. The Dew outta space was the last song and was killer!
    Folks were saying they did the dew ending because the US bombed Libya that night, but I don’t think that’s accurate? According to Wikipedia, that happened earlier...I think it was just because it was so late...

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1986_United_States_bombing_of_Libya

    As we were waiting outside to be let in, I remember folks doing unmentionable things to the Rocky Statue out front lol.
    I vaguely remember the looks on the faces of the wrestling crowd as they exited and had to make their way through the throng of aaaa, “over prepared” lol Dead heads who were getting antsy to say the least!
    I think we were all pretty well behaved and mostly respectful to them...they on the other hand looked startled? Surprised for sure, and many seemed concerned if not out right scarred lol.
    In there defense, it was mostly fathers with their kids etc, so if you weren’t aware of the situation and walked out into that culture shock...well, I’d probably have been concerned too lol...fortunately, like Pig before us onward, we just look scary!
    Anyway, it was yet another fun unusual occurrence care of the GOGD that ill (somewhat ;) always remember, just wish I knew which show for sure. Can’t believe no one else has ever brought that show up or seems to remember? Of course if I could remember who I was with I could ask them lol!

    EDIT: Ha!, who needs McGruff? Lol...finally found some corroborating evidence, it was 86!
    Mind like a melting, dripping, hallucinating steel trap!

    Pro Wrestling / Grateful Dead

    I have this heavy fog memory of Pro Wrestling / Grateful Dead sharing a parking lot or in close proximity or the next night, night before, earlier in the day, over the weekend where stragglers that were too messed up to leave ended up in the GD/Shakedown parking lot or something.. and I am quite sure I made the '86 Hampton run. We are going to have to get to the bottom of that. Bueller?

    I wonder what became of the pro wrestling fans that stuck around and accidentally got dosed. There had to have been one or two or five of them.... what a thought.

    Good memory Oroborous. I can't help but think we bumped into each other at a venue or two. There is good overlap on the shows we saw from that period.

    Listening to that Supplication Jam > Let It Grow from Hampton '86 for the first time, since.. well, 3/21/86. I really love that they brought that back even though sans Lazy Lightning. Juicy.... ..Really good later era stuff. Don't tell this town (band) ain't got no heart...

Yup, the future Mrs. Big and I were at this baby! That second set was one for the ages... one big non-stopper. At the end of Saint we looked at each other and knew we would be in it for the long haul. By the time Brokedown ended, the whole place was in groupmind tears. Some things you never forget.

Been on a Dylan binge when not listening to the GD the last few weeks. I have to ask.. mainly because my heart has shifted.. what is your favorite Dylan studio album? and perhaps why (optional).

Sometimes the marbles within the grey matter shift ever so slightly and from that moment forward you think just a little bit differently.

I have been investigating...some lesser known bands of the shock variety

Like looking at pictures of car accidents or something

And

Of all things, i dug out an Enya cd.

The marbles in my grey matter have shifted, and are still settling

Nice to hear about your future heirs to the majestry and trickery Bolo!

Got over a foot of snow so far, on rain/snow line for next couple of hours so I raked the roof and snowblowed the plow debris before it gets heavy. Looking forward to my cassette upgrade of DaP37, latest to get is in two days. Got my two doses of covid vaccine. If you're eligible, I encourage everyone to get their vaccine. The second dose side effects is nothing in comparison to the day after going electric at a dead show. I had a minor frontal lobotomy headache for an hour, some chills, elevated temp, but was able to shred the trails a couple of hours after the family went out. Stay safe and those in the crazy zones please double up on the masking.

Recent non-Dead listens:
Bob Marley
Warren Zevon - talking about the man
Modest Mouse
King Crimson
Joni Mitchell
Radiohead

I miss seeing live music.

Two great shows the Dead played on Groundhogs Day. Love to get get the 1968 show released along with the rest of the shows the Dead played on the Great Tour of the Pacific Northwest as a box set. I'm hopeful it may happen. Check them out on the Archive.

Curiously the last 2 cds I played last night were by Bob Dylan. Not studio, though - the first two cds from the 1966 Live Recordings box set-Sydney 4/13/66. A great show, and an impressive box set-although the same set list, for the most part, is played at 23 consecutive concerts.

I keep playing King Crimson a lot these days, too, since seeing them for the first time about three years ago. Their box sets are really something else. I listen to a lot of discs from one called "Heaven and Earth"-consisting of live and studio recordings from about 1998-2006. I don't think I have any other box ( maybe Europe 72 and 30 Trips ) that has so much music in it-including whole discs of totally improvised music. Mind boggling!

Mine left Atlanta yesterday and has departed Heathrow, London today. So, unless it takes a magical mystery tour, it should still be in the UK. #36 took about 8 days to make the trip to my mail box once it reached Heathrow so I’m still being patient.

Mostly been listening to old stuff recently, Tapestry by Carole King, 50 years and still fantastic, The Big Huge by the Incredible String Band, even older and probably high in my top ten albums although my list of top ten albums probably runs into the dozens!
Free Jazz by Ornette Coleman, older still and sounding so modern.

Keep well everyone and hope for better days.

I suspect this year's box set will be outtakes of "What's Become of the Baby" with a bonus disc of the "Barbed Wire Whipping Party."

I mean, all the clues fit, no?

This one has a little of everything - but in the Seaside Chat I think Dave got it wrong. He said he thought "Passenger" almost derailed before getting the shit back on track and that the "Brown-Eyed Women was "interesting" and a "little different". Id say the Brown-Eyed Women was pretty much a sloppy train-wreck and the rebound to get it back on track was the absolutely SUBLIME Let it Grow and great Deal. The show as a whole sort of feels like that - some really great high energy 78 stuff and moments of kinda sloppy barely held-together mess (The Saturday Night encore is weird to my ear). That said the bonus stuff seemed way more consistent and makes the whole release a win - I dont think Id be that stoked on just the 4/15 show alone. Id be good if we stepped away from 78/79 for a while myself

Love love love me some Dylan. Sure, everyone knows Highway 61 and Blood on the Tracks and Blonde on Blonde and Desire.

A few of my hidden gems through the years:

Street Legal - Changing of the Guards and Senor are great but the whole album has a great vibe.

Planet Waves - So many great tunes. Tough Mama, On a Night Like This, Hazel, of course Forever Young

Pat Garret and Billy the Kid - So chill. Great summertime back porch listening.

I've really enjoyed the Bootleg Series they've been putting out too, and particularly the big box from the "religious years" called Trouble No More which has some fantastic stuff you'll never find anywhere else: Covenant Woman, Caribbean Wind, Pressing On, Watered Down Love, precious Angel, etc, etc, etc,

and finally

Bootleg Series Volume 10, a two discer with tons of stripped down versions of some great sutff that you dont hear much from the '69-'71 timeframe.

I didn't receive a shipping notice, but DaP #37 showed up in the mail on the 1st. After listening to the whole release, I think the 4/15 show is OK, but I really believe the 4/18 filler material is the best part of this release!

Slow Dog Noodle reminded me of the soundtrack of the movie Pat Garret and Billie the Kid. That movie really struck a chord with my high schools friends and became a cult favorite for us. Knockin' on Heaven's Door always reminds me of Dylan's cameo in the film where he is one of the bystanding cowboys in a tense scene where to keep him busy they have him read the labels on the canned goods on the wall. "Beans." his character Alias says. And keeps reading aloud until the gunfire starts. I think Alias gets a few more lines somewhere in there. Dylan was paid $200K for the role which back then was quite a bit for a bit part, but I'd guess he did better on the soundtrack album. Some reviews have it as his worst album but they didn't even like Knockin' so screw 'em if they can't take a joke.
Why hasn't this sold out? Even average '78 is OK by me. Cheers!

Watched Rolling Thunder Review a few nights ago, wow!
Pretty cool; interviews, behind the scenes, interesting “characters”, cool historic perspective, and the music is awesome.
It’s not a concert video, but has several songs played, many off of Desire, including Scarlet Rivera sp? On Violin....chick is kinda out there (she even has a BFA sticker on her fiddle!)...some of the coolest Dylan I’ve seen. Kinda funny hoe there’s like five guitars sometimes??
If you dig Dylan and haven’t checked this out, or even if your not a big Dylan fan, you’ll probably enjoy this. Just the access and historical perspective and the characters alone are interesting enough...

GIMME SOME TRUTH; just picked this mini box up. Crazy how relevant to the times many of these songs still are. Surprisingly I’ve only had Imagine out of all the ex Beatle solo albums. Got this one which is sorta a best of, Yoko picked historical perspective; songs that meant a lot to John or reflect where he was at the time etc...
Also picked up Plastic Ono Band, Ringo’s “Ringo” and Photograph, Paul’s Ram and Flowers In The Dirt. Post Waters Floyd albums and David Gilmore’s first solo album since I dig On an Island so much.
Still need Band on the run and Gearge stuff. Have Paul’s first on vinyl. From what I’ve read, I think the Gearge stuff is going to get “the treatment” soon so I’m gonna wait and see.
So been digging lots of new to me cool stuff along with trying to explore more 90s dead and get as many pick of the days in as I can too!

Edit: oh yeah, and can’t forget 37, aka BFF Phil Show ; )
Think mines at the PO, guess I’ll have to go out into town and pick er up!
It sucks Covid wise that we have to go to the window to receive it. Used to put a key in your box to pick up after hours.

For those who have their copy, have you noticed its the same picture from #15, I would have thought they would take the chance to expose other cool pics in this glorious format, oh well still awesome!

Friday night I was fumbling thru youtube to see if there was anything new. Did find a new Dinner and A Movie by Phish. From 2003, will watch tomorrow night.

Ran across for the first time GD 12-31-81. It was a good video of a sweet new year's. I watched the first set by itself, i.e. no second or thrid set attached, and it sounded very good. Then went back and watched the whole show, minus the first set, and it was still good. Sound not quite as good, and some technical issues related to the transfer. That is, video and audio did not match up some of the time.

I really enjoyed it. Was nice to set a set I had never seen before and only heard parts of on an old hissy fit cassette.

Then Sunday I watched the Phish Dinner and a Movie. It was very good also. It was from 2003 Charlotte, NC. I was watching and about the second song, I noticed this seems familiar. Then I had the moment, you know, when I realized I attended this show. So I really enjoyed it as I had not heard much less seen it since July of 2003. NIce little ride into memories past.

Still no updates on #37 yet. It has shipped but still not updating. The one thing I do like about UPS mail innoations is that I believe there is less risk of theft in the system (or carelessness) that may be a problem with USPS.

Hope all are enjoying Groundhog Day, not sure if Phil saw his shadow. May have to watch the movies as it is on all day.

Love the February shows talk...good stuff.

Edit: HEY NOW Bolo and Vguy: Congrats Bolo! Awesome! And Vguy, WOW!

#16003 made it to the edge of the world...never recieved an email shipment notice (it'll probably show up in my email a week from now)...

I never received an email that Dave's Picks 37 had shipped, but now the post office is claiming that they delivered it last Friday. Unfortunately, it never came. And thanks to COVID, I'm home all day and check regularly for packages, etc. Maybe they delivered it to the wrong address? My question is, is that something that Dead.net will replace or do I have to re-purchase? I know it will sell out soon. I've purchased every Dead release since One From The Vault. Every Dick's Picks, Dave's Picks, Road Trips, Box Sets, etc. And Williamsburg '78 is a favorite show! I'd hate not to have it in the collection.

Anyone know how this works if the PO says it was delivered, but it wasn't?

Thanks in advance.

I have my tracking info but it leads no where. DaP 32 and 36 were both shipped to the wrong address, despite the invoices having the correct address. I'm a little concerned that DaP 37 is headed in the same direction. I get that we all love the physical object, but downloads are so much easier. The music is great, but Dead.net has never been good with shipping or customer service. It is insanity to think that after all these years they (yes, YOU!) would put it together or even respond to the overwhelming volume of feedback. Why is this so difficult?

Sound quality is very nice.
Half-Step is rockin’, reminiscent of 11-6-77.
A hiccup in Passenger. Or was it just a brief pause to extinguish the flames on their hands?
On FOTD now, seems standard (but it’s not done).

I reserve the right to modify my impressions after future subsequent listens......

I’ll listen to the main course first, followed by filler for dessert.

Downloads:
Careful what you wish for.
Amazingly, (not really) Rhino consistently screws those up.
Check out commentary on other boards that cover releases that included a download option. Defective files, missing tracks, wrong bitrate, links that don’t work, etc, etc.
Or just ask Dennis, he has first-hand experience.

Hal,
That sucks, but is somewhat par for the course.
I think that I had something like that happen before, and it showed up a day or two (or 3 or 4) later.
You could order another copy if it isn’t sold out yet and hope that you actually receive it. Eventually you might have 2 copies and can sell or gift one of them.

Sounded like a pause to regroup.
But I didn’t rewind to confirm. Will wait for the next listen to reevaluate.

I was in another room for Let It Grow and it was only background music.

Which is why I will get multiple listens this week.

Must fully absorb.

Now I’m back on FOTD and it sounds better too.

Besides now being in front of the speakers, I turned up the volume too.

LOL... Got mine today, so after dinner told my wife I will be in my Music Room listening to my new DaP. She actually "had to" ask me a question smack in the middle of Let it Grow... the audacity!! LOL :-) So now I am restarting and thoroughly digging it... uninterrupted :-) This disc is really clean! Great quality... just love it! Thanks Dave... oh, and Dave, I got myself and my dog the Workingman's Dead outer jackets... I love mine more than she does, but looks good to see you wearing in in this episode of Seaside Chats :-) iGrateful

Yeah, the post office insists it was delivered last Friday at 3:08PM. But they must have delivered it to the wrong address. :( Guess I'll just pay for another one. That one is lost, it seems.

Does your mail usually come between 2-4 pm?
If it usually comes in the morning then you have a pretty argument.
Also, do you have confirmation that UPS actually handed it off to USPS? If UPS still has it then USPS is lying

Yeah, spoke with UPS. They handed it over to USPS and then USPS claims they delivered it on Friday at 3:08pm. I'm gonna go ahead and order another since I haven't heard back from customer service at Dead.net yet. I don't want it to sell out and then I miss out entirely. :(

Sound quality on this release is real and spectacular.

I don’t recall having this show on cassette and don’t know if I’ve heard it before in the digital realm.
Looking forward to multiple listens in the near future to get the Fully Normanized Betty Experience.

I’m not even to the filler yet......

And yes, kind robot, I am not a robot.
