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.

I'll Play

5/10/91 if for no other reason than I like the recording. Maybe a bit saturated at times, but it's pretty clear and balanced. Besides Phil was on a tear during this period and it must have been hard to keep his bass in check when he amped things up.

I think tossed this show out on this forum in the beginning. I like the Cal Expo shows too, but no Bruce for those three shows.

Official Releases

Yes, absolutely. Always welcome.

Can't say enough good things about that hot summer 82 Tour. The Zoo in Oklahoma was another good one. Love these China Riders from this summer. Agree, they are smoking Jim. Nice Playing, Iko Iko, Lost Sailor, SOC. The wheel out of space is always good. Great US Blues encore.

The 71 Port Chester shows are some of my favorites. Listen to them often. 2/18, is probably my favorite right now, but my favorites fluctuate.

So for #44, I am thinking we will see a 91 release. Any predictions?
Enjoy the weekend out there.

Yes, thanks Dennis.

ah.. Blue Crow, I'm with you. I love that 2/21 show, it has really grown on me and man does it sound good. I think I will split my time between that and a revisit of Dave's 43. Nothing wrong with hitting the released stuff from time to time here, right?

on Jerry's style.
A cerebral description.
Whatever he's doing I'm OK
as long as I focus on all those notes.
I won't get lost.

I think Big Brownie had talked about this one a while back.
I'm finding so much early 80's I didn't know I liked.
It's all about the energy not so much the era.

Thanks BC!
And Dennis thanks as well. JM is well spoken.

Thank you Dennis

Thanks for sharing that piece from Mayer. Really good.

Going with 2/21/71 from Workingman's 50th. Love the Rick Turner Peanut sound.

Came across the desk

Out there in the internet world

A quote from John Mayer on Jerry's playing from a guitar players perspective ...
Part of the genius of Jerry Garcia, was all guitar players have little segments we work with, little riffs, and licks. We work in these building blocks: at the bottom are scales, then working up to riffs, then licks, then inverted licks if you are the best around.
Jerry's building blocks were molecules of playing. Not licks. The smallest pieces that could be put together. Everything you are hearing is original, off the top of his head, and represents his spiritual place he was in on that day. John Mayer on Jerry Garcia
This is the forward John wrote for Jay Blakesberg's book "Secret Space of Dreams"
"I’m a good enough guitar player to know a great guitarist when I hear one, but I had to become an even better one to begin to understand the depth and complexity of Jerry Garcia’s playing.
I’ve always said that musicians play like they are, and in the case of Garcia, his performances serve as a detailed map of a man, his intentions, his desires, and his impressions of the world around him. And going by that map, Garcia was a lovely, mighty soul. I never met him, and will never understand the loss of those who did, but the vast archive of his music amounts to the makings of a starry night sky that turns listeners into explorers.
Several years ago I set out not just to learn Garcia’s approach to the guitar and the songs he played, but to learn what about it has allowed millions of people who don’t play the guitar to key into it for hours on end. Soloing has been known since its inception as a kind of self-indulgent expression. Why, then, could so many listeners, myself included, listen to him do it endlessly without fatigue?
To best understand what makes Garcia’s guitar playing so unique, it helps to start with what it sidesteps: though it drew from blues and R&B, his guitar approach left a few traditional elements out of the equation, he didn’t play from that well-worn feral, sexual place that traditional blues music traded in, nor did he really touch the sinister aspects that were born into the idiom. Garcia didn’t sing about wanting to rock a young woman all night long, and any of his deals with the devil existed metaphorically as mere setbacks. (What’s 20 bucks, anyway?) These changes affect the fundamental color palette of the storytelling. I’m not sure the sun ever rises in Chicago blues music, but in the musical storytelling of Garcia and the Grateful Dead, it shines so bright it hurts.
On a more technical note, he played most often in a major blues scale, which added to this mix of innocence, and even joy. Minor blues notes lend themselves to the exquisiteness of pain, while major blues scales kind of explore the relief from it. Garcia played to relieve people of pain. That melodic innocence must have something to do with bringing so many people to their “happy place.” He wasn’t pulling notes from an anguished place within, he was catching them with a butterfly net as they went flitting by overhead. On a tactile level, he held the guitar with grace. It wasn’t a weapon, it was a vehicle. He took it easy. He may have played fast, but he was thinking slow. And that makes us listen with a smile.
I put Jerry Garcia on the same level as Miles Davis and Bill Evans because of the intention in his performing; once you’ve learned all the notes, and the chords, and the bends and the runs, you come to the final frontier of playing which is the why of it all, and that’s where the power was and still is in his playing. He played from a real place, a place that faced out to the world, not for his own reception or gratification. He played for the joy of interacting with the band and with the music he loved. If you listen close enough to a musician, you can tell what they’re looking to get out of each and every note they make. Garcia, to me, was looking to bring music to life out of the tacit, sacred duty to use his gift. Even after learning these things, they offer very little help in sounding anything like the man. That’s because he didn’t play anything stock or repetitive. There are no “signature Jerry Garcia solo riffs” as exist with so many revered guitarists. To “sound like Jerry,” you have to make people feel like he did, and well—good luck with that.
The real magic—the kind that will make the Grateful Dead music live forever—that’s in the way we carry it on in our hearts and minds. I don’t listen to Garcia and the band play—I watch it. I believe we all do, and that what we see is a blend of the music, the year in which it was played, the season and location of the show so as to understand the state of mind the band was in that night, that week, that presidency. We see it differently from one another the way we do our own dreams, but we all agree that our dreams contain these songs, and this band, those places and names. And that’s how the Grateful Dead managed to freeze time. We discuss our favorite years in present tense; we say we just heard the best version of something last night as if that was the moment it first took place. Your favorite year of their music "wasn’t", it "is." And in that way, inside that beautiful dreamscape the band created, the Grateful Dead is still up there, still playing. And Jerry is right there in front of them, and time is held in place by those who refuse to let it fade, and even as we sleep, as long as one of us is listening, the band is still playing.
We lose the ones we love, we pine for those who have left, and we lament the changes of modern times. But the makers of this music dug a tunnel, and it runs beneath time and space, and we, the ones who love it like family, crawl through to visit 1974, and 1969, and 1987 and 1990. If we were alive at the time the show took place, we see ourselves as the people we were in the lives we had, and if we weren’t born yet, we get to wistfully dream what it must have been like.
We only get a few minutes on earth, and Jerry Garcia gave all his minutes so that we could forever visit his life and times through his playing, and let it unravel into a new kind of now." --- John Mayer on Jerry Garcia and The Grateful Dead

Thanks, guys, for putting that phrase into my brain

Another anniversary

I’m currently spinning 3-20-91.

Will need to investigate 4-14-72 tonight when the beer is flowing.

My My My My

What a smoker 4/14/72 is!

Holy moly.

Great Pick for a Friday DeadVikes, that hit the spot.

Fun write up of this show in Taper's Compendium, and they transcribed Pig's wrap.

Crushing Caution all week and I'm ready for more.

Dig the memories BlueCrow.
Love those shows that hit you in that archetypal center like PANG!
Then when you hear them again, you can picture that moment every time.
Time Travel!!!

That Brown-Eyed Women gets me like that.
My first GD album WALSTIB from columbia records and tapes club.
11 albums for a penny.
And I'm pretty sure that's all I paid ;)
Changed my life.
Who says you can't get anything for a penny?!?!

What's the haps for today?

4/14/72

Agree GOGD, this one always seem to do something for me. Sweet Dark Star,. Sugar Mag, Good Lovin, Caution, Good Lovin sandwich. Still love the Pig Pen led Big Boss Man.

Looks like Conekid offered up 3/20/91. Sounds like a winner to me.

You should give us a pick for tomorrow GOGD.

Okay, so box next announcement next week?

Stay well out there.

3-20-92

released in the big box 30 trips. Really great show from 92, check it out.

No Box announcement yet

Hope Dave didn’t fall into the water and get eaten by sea otters or an orca when he was recording the Box seaside chat.

Well, if he did, the wheel keeps turning and you can’t slow it down. Hand me the Vault keys, I’ll take over and speed up the releases.

Tomorrow's Pick - 9/16/72

Alright, I'll take a stab at it.
September 16, 1972

A partial SBD portion of this show has been floating around for awhile.
But in Dec 2020 we got a much more complete SBD source.
Delivered from an anonymous person that must've had cool friends.
The first 4 songs are missing (there's an audience if you're jonesing) but the majority of this killer show is now ours to listen too.
Hot Damn!

The mix ain't perfect, but this is some killer stuff worth spending some time with if you ask me.

One of my all time fave versions of Playing In The Band.
And the Dark Star > Brokedown nuff said.

Here's a link to the new source on archive, it's on relisten too look for ANON.
https://www.archive.org/details/gd1972-09-16.150979.sbd.mr.flac2444

I highly recommend listening to the PITB > On when you have some time to take it in Dick Latvala still.
Enjoy!

PS - Bob T picked this one back on 9/16/20 but it was before we had this new source.
Wow, It's a great time to be a Dead Head!

9/16/72

On it tomorrow. Thanks for the pick GOGD.

Speaking of Bob t, it has been a little while.

Boston Music Hall '72

September 16, 1972 show is definitely one of my favorite GD shows.

Due to the fact that not much of the show circulated and that it happened during an amazing peak in GD history, I feel like it's way overlooked. Maybe I'm wrong, but I rarely hear it mentioned.

At the time of the Taper's Compendium Volume 1 only the Dark Star circulated.
But that write up alone would make you seek out the tape.
And they didn't even know about all the other killer stuff on here.
Not sure why I find that so cool.

Super stoked to have the majority of the show now.

It's made appearances during 30 Days of The Dead so it's greatness is known.
But given the chance I try and suggest it.
Like today.

At some point the PITB & Dark Star just permeated my mind and every time I listen they take me somewhere new.

Upon repeated listening it can take you on interstellar journeys.

Plus the Don't Ease rips.

Enjoy!

PS - I know we get a lot of NFA > GDTRFB > NFA in these parts, but be sure and give it a listen for some 1 drummer magic and watch for Jerry's solo in GDTRFB, you'll be glad you did.

The other day...

Doc promoted 3 14 71

I stated i remember the compendium being "whatever" about it

I have been listening while treadmilling

It's another very potent 71, well worth a listen or 20

Thank you for the promotion, Doc

Dark Star fix....

....got any of that nightfall of diamonds?

How about...

NOD, Vguy?

10 16 89

9/16/72

Thanks for the pick on this one GOGD. This is a huge show. Just love the Bird Song from this era. Can't remember too many shows with Stella Blue and Morning Dew. Would love an official release of this show.

Am I hearing Nightfall or Diamonds for today?

Stella Obscura

Definitely a monster show!

Glad you dug it DeadVikes.

Not sure the tapes that exist will meet the criteria of official release, so having a majority of this show via SBD is a real treat.

I love it.

Alright, sounds like some October 1989 Dead to start the week.

Happy Monday you all!

Shoot Chip...

Guess I’m gonna have to try and replay 9/16/72?
Besides the Dark Star, which I loved, I was kinda nonplussed by this one...though the Relisten app wouldn’t let me play some tunes, including PITB and Dew. Threw on the Dark Star sequence from 4/8/72 after which seemed like quite the difference? Energy/performance (obviously the sound) As I say, guess I’ll have to give another try....
Perhaps I was subliminally comparing to DiP 36 and 11 which are top favs, same as I do with DiP 23? I like it, but not as much as it’s 2 neighbors....if that makes sense?
Man I’m so far behind.....perhaps I’ll try to ketchup and skip 10/16/89 just cause that’s a big go to...Personally I think it’s one of the best releases they’ve given us; good show, cool sets/songs, good playing and GREAT sound! But I listen to it fairly often so no biggy if I skip it now...
Mañana I hope to have time for a big day...
Oh, did check out through Estimated from 3/20/86 on YouTube Friday night. Meh, didn’t dig it as much as the previous night, though the Box o Rain was cool and did fire a few old synapses, but I still have no clue who I went with etc...
Going to try and inch my way through dead dreams to another land and perhaps hit a show or so a week till I get through all six of my nights on that tour.
But Maybe I’ll try and sneak in that 3/31/86 y’all liked today?
So much Dead, so little time ; )

Sleeper

OB - Not sure why I like 9/16/72 so much, and I think it is kind of a sleeper, but it creeps on ya and if it's got ya, it's got ya good, so I recommend doing it up at just the right time when you can really grok it.

In the meantime, 3/31/86 is super fun, you should hit it.

ConeKidd - I did manage to get in that 3/20/91 yesterday and dug it.

But yeah like you say, so much Dead!
That's my kinda problem :)

a long time ago

3/31/86 on cassette

I was lysergic

and the jam after GDTRFB was spectacular

glorious memories

right now 12/4/79 is playing

the China Rider sounds sooooo good

9/16/72: it's been a while
my memory sez it's hot

I'm doing Nightfall....

....even though, I think this was a POTDWD prior. Boomerang action.
Don't mind if I do!
Cue Picasso.

NoD today

feel like a straaaanger

now it's my turn:

What is POTDWD?

Steal Your Face

Right OFF your head!

That's what happened to me to a T.
34 years ago tonight at the ol Hampton Coliseum.

Jerry was on FIRE.. smiling and moving and shredding.
That place had more electricity than anywhere I'd ever been, and we took that spaceship for a ride.
GA Floor about 10th row.
Never Had Such A Good Time!!
Woot 3/23/87 :)

POTDWD = Pick Of The Day We Done?

Pick of the day with discussion....

....c'mon guys.

Doh!

Missed the "with Discussion"!

Speaking of discussion, I noticed some new Merch on the Dead Store, anybody wanna bet we get an announcement this week?!?!

Let's talk about that WD

GOGD

I sure hope we are not done, this has been a blast. Some days there are several picks thrown out, so it might be hard to follow.

What new merchandise are you seeing?

I will take that bet. I don't think there will be an announcement this week. What is the wager? Signed sealed copy of Dave's #1?

Skeleton Hearts?

It may be old merch from Feb... But I just noticed it.

So I could be wrong.

But... I'll bet that if we don't hear anything this week, I'll give you a copy of the 1970 Trans Continental Festival Express material compilation that I put together. With essentially everything that circulates so far. Which is awesome IMO, BTW.

If we do hear something.. what do I get?

GOGD

Wow, that sounds wild.

Shoot, I don't know. Is there anything you don't have?

Any missing bonus CDs from past releases?

Lossless

I'm working on having everything... mwah hahahahaha!!!

But yeah, there's a few things that I have Mp3 versions of that I want to get a lossless backup for and I'm quite certain we could work out a trade.

You can never get it all.. but it sure is fun trying!!!!

And yeah, the Festival Express comp is killer :)

I saw...

POT DWD
not
POTD WD

POTD...I get that

aging...

I got hit with a wave of sick last evening, and then today. Ever been in a Teams/Zoom meeting and then have to run to vomit?

WEIRD.

I am all better now, after a two hour nap.

Hey Everybody.... Hey Dr. Nick

Hope everyone is doing well.. Sorry i haven't posted in a while... sort have been trapped between the 3 Feb 74 Winterland shows and the 3 March Winterland 77 shows.. I did get the 9/16/72 Boston show in... Great call.. I'm still going with Bolo's buck and a quarter quote as a sign of April 71 box... Happy anniversary Wall of Sound.. Bob t

GOGD

Perfect, than that will be the wager. I hope you win...

Hey Bob t. Spring 71 you say, okay.

DeadVIkes

Rockin'!

Fun. I'd give it to you either way, but it's fun to have something to do ;)

Let's hope for news.. but it's a win, win situation!!

NoD was released 20 years ago

WHA'????????????

10/16/89

tres bien

Oberon Day

‘‘Twas yesterday and the beer store I frequent had a stack of it on the floor.
Grabbed two cases of 16 oz cans.
Tasted awesome yesterday, having more today.

A home without books is a body without soul......

50 years ago today…………….

March 24, 1971
Winterland, San Francisco, California

Set 1: Greatest Story Ever Told >Johnny B. Goode-Next Time You See Me-Loser-Truckin ->drums ->The Other One-Bertha-Sugar Magnolia-I'm A King Bee-Beat It On Down The Line

Set 2: Casey Jones-Hard To Handle-Playing In The Band-Not Fade Away ->Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad ->Not Fade Away

Encore: Uncle John's Band

The Dead return home after a short tour of the heartland.

Another show that only rarely gets discussed. It’s a powerhouse, at times uneven, but with some really sublime moments, including the jam within Truckin’, The Other One (which takes us to many different places), and Hard To Handle. In many ways, it sounds more akin to the powerhouse material that was to come in April, than to the material previously played in March. Did the Dead crank up their game for their home town crowd? Judging from the reaction of the crowd after the fine Uncle John’s Band encore, this show was very well received at the time………………………….

Rock on!!

Doc
He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home…….

Re: 3/24

I am in the process of tidying up my digital library. Between the time I built it and now, there have been some upgrades.. plus in my earlier days of digital alchemy, I didn't document the source as well as I could have.. so I am revisiting everything.. show by show and making sure I am listening to the best available, always lossless version.
This time, I and am doing a better job documenting. Many of my '71 shows fall into this category.

So anyway, I am trying to upgrade my sources when appropriate and have everything through April ready to spin. I got an early listen 3/24 last night. I completely with Doc on this show. Knowing that Johnny B. Goode from Skull and Roses was pulled from this show plus a few tunes from the Manhattan Center.. wouldn't multi-track reels from Winterland, The Manhattan Center and the FE shows be in the vault? I'm sure this has come up before.. but you don't seem to hear much chatter about bring more from this run onto disc.

Good Ole GD.. I made the March '87 Hampton run myself. Thanks for bringing this run into focus again.

I think BobT must have gotten lost in the woods for a few days, but good to see his triumphant return. I just got a text from someone commenting on the 6/27/84 Merriweather show. That would make a good pick of the day at some point, plus it's been forever since I listened to that one and the recording is good for the era. One other POTD idea is one of the Manhattan Center shows from April (4/4, 4/5 or 4/6).

Been busy lately both trying to get through '71 on time, keeping up here. I am also finishing a pesky renovation side project.. fun with wood. oh.. and it's spring!! so outdoor listening is slightly more palatable.

It’s gonna be a good year.

At least musically speaking :)

1971 is in the air folks!!

Happy Anniversary release announcement day!
3 more announcements coming at some point, with a heavy year planned (says Dave).

Hot Dog!

DeadVikes does that count as calling it?!? (Let's Trade Brother!!)

Doc & Jim - keep it coming you guys, thanks for keeping the spirit of '71 alive.

And always ready to talk about Hampton '87!!!
Third of 3 happened 34 years ago, anyone who was there during Terrapin, knows what I'm talking about.
If you missed it, check out the Miller Ultra and feel the rush.

Good Stuff

Second that / Manhattan Center

On the anniversary’s. For such amazing three Dead concerts, the venue sure bit the baagwan .

Skull and Roses Anniversary

I don't think this counts as a box announcement, and I was of course bummed that it was not the box.

But certainly, whatever you need GOGD, if I have it, it is yours.

So, Jim, are we looking at 3/24/71 for the pick today?

Hopefully, we hit up some Spring 1990 as well this month at some point.

Conekid, yes, can't wait to get my hands on the 2021 Oberon.

Baagwan

Strider hit us up with the scoop on the Manhattan Center. I wanna hear.

DeadVikes, yeah not quite a Box Announcement.
But.. technically I just said "announcement" ;)
So.. I'll PM ya! - EDIT: PM sent bro
However, sounded like they were just getting this one out of the way so they could lay the next big news on us.

7/2/71 tape that is not in the Vault sounds pretty dang good.

This is fun.

Winterland 3.24.71....

....why not? 7.2.71 looks tasty as well.

I’m Game

This JBG offa Skull Fuck was the tune, combined with cosmic lightning, that elevated my love for the Dead over Zepplin and Hendrix. For awhile it was hard to pick my favorite, but this particular tune, which I’d heard a lot before, but on a sunny day in April 78, the third eye aligned with the cosmos and from then on, there was never any doubt of who my favorite band was. Not sure what it was, or why exactly just then, but something just clicked and I made my friend keep playing it over and over, and that as they say was that....until 8 months later when I FINALLY was able to see then live!....then it became worse lol, and I’ve been driving everyone around me nuts ever since!
So yeah, it’s time to finally hear this show!

How About...

How about 6/27/84, Merriweather Post Pavilion today (or both shows) and we can do one of the April 71's from the Manhattan Center run (4/4 through 4/6), Strider's pick. We might squeeze some interpersonal show scoopage from Strider if we are lucky. If he doesn't get around to picking one by the time that run comes around we can figure something out.

Does that work? I haven't listened to 6/27/84 in more than a decade.. and I was at that one. Not sure if I can conjur up some memories or not.. I have more memory of the night before, but it was not as good as the next night.

Anyway, wanna take that route?

Follow ups...

Ok, upon furthur review 9/16/72 resonated more the second go around. Being able to play PITB and Dew etc, that I couldn’t get to play the first time made a big difference (imagine that ; )...and that Dark Star, man I love those 72 Dark Stars! That was worth the price of admission alone! Still not sure I’d rank this show as high as you GOGD, but it’s definitely a keeper lol...

3/31/86: yowsa! Really dug this one; snappy, fun show, cool set lists and good performance.
Need to dig deeper into 86. Saw 6 in March, and 5 in June but don’t recall much and only have a general “overall” view of the shows....so far this one was great as well as the tour opener on 3/19. 3/20 didn’t seem to stand up as well, even with the big reveal, enjoyable, but didn’t seem to click as much....looking forward to checking out 3/21 if it’s on YouTube...

Fun

3/28/86 s2 is killer, dig the Supplication jam from 3/27/86 too.

So what's the pick today?

I wrote down 3/24/71
But Manhattan Center mentioned and Jim's talking Merriweather 6/27/84

Or is gonna be a mega blow out Wednesday ;)

BTW Love me some 6/30/84 that one is imprinted into my brain.

..Plus

it's got a Cumberland.

6/27/84

Looks cool, I’ll try and squeeze that one in also...
I’ve had some other random ideas that perhaps we could explore before we take the 71 dive again;
- 4/9/82 just cause I haven’t heard it in forever
- 8/21/72: cause it’s got a 72 Dark Star I haven’t heard yet and I’ve only heard the 25th
- 7/7/81: I’m only familiar with the second set which is good, so why not?
- 11/20/78: don’t know anything about this one. It just looks interesting on paper...
- 8/6/82: did we ever do this one? Like the next night and I thought someone mentioned this one, so...

Ive rarely made picks...mostly cause by the time I get up you guys have already listed to half a show lol...
But I tried to go off piste a bit and see if I can stump the panel! Just some ideas, perhaps we could mix some of these into the flow as we go, you and I, while we can...
