GOGD/whistful
I hear ya, It was the same for me only in like 77/78. If they would of played locally I could of been on the Big bus a year earlier...such is life.
(Big bus being after seeing live, versus little bus being stuck listening in my teenage room wishing I could see them live!)
EDIT: Ha, think of poor Dave having to go all the way to Harshford with his Ma! Whatever it takes eh!
6/20/74 Cool show!
Awesome “sequence”, interesting Slipknot; JG and Kieth are super tight, but Phil and Bob sit out. Not exactly the kind of song you fake lol.
Sound was all over the place; sometimes great, sometimes things were over saturated...
Ok, who’s up for some extra credit?
How bout 7/7/81? Never have heard the first set, but the second set was a tape fav BITD.
Wha'd Ya Know
Low and behold, my Dave's Picks 36 arrived. Long wait.. I had faith it would plop down on my front porch..,, eventually. Thanks to MaryE for the hand delivery.. I saw the EBike pull away.. pig tails flowing under the swirled, dayglow helmet. She turned to look.. and then was gone. Again, many thanks from all of us for all you do.
#1 of 22,000. My lowest number yet. Now I can finally read the liner notes. Wow.. apparently Dave was at this show, far out.
Congrats Jim
Great news Jim! Finally. Did they throw in some socks for the wait?
#1/22,000, Ha!
6/20/74, good show. Agree OB, the recording is a bit uneven, some parts great, others not as good. Overall B on the sound quality. Seemed kind of a short show for 74. Good pick PF.
Your 81 show for tomorrow OB?
Couldn't make it a two fer today. Hard to keep up with the overachievers.
Okay, so we have a month to go until #38.
No Socks..
Just a coupon for a cup of free hot chocolate.
Edit: I like the socks idea.. colorful, plaid, rainbow or paisley.. I'm all in. Especially the electric kind that blend well with my Birkenstocks.
3/31/80 the other Capitol
The first Feel Like A Stranger 41 years ago today. So let me throw 3/31/80 into the ring for today’s pick.
My one time to the Capitol Theater was 1972(?) to see NRPS. Dr John opened the show. Quite the rowdy audience, ha ha.
Jim & Number 36
Glad to hear.
I like to think that TPTB will always make it right, in time.
At least you got a GREAT number!
.... and free socks? Must be those Balboa socks they always advertise on TV. For every pair you buy, you claim every sock that those socks touch and all the socks that those socks touch.
36, Good Number
Actually, it was 10,393 of 22,000.. which is fine with me.
36 arrival
a good day
if you haven't heard it yet, Desolation Row > Birdsong is really good.
It's gonna get stranger
Far out... dug dusting off 6/20/74.
Ship of Fools sounding so good, man I dig Jerry's voice in '74.
And that Truckin' > Eyes > Slipknot! > China Doll. That's the stuff.
A bit under the radar, especially with all it's towering neighbors.
Speaking of... popped on 6/22/74 Bonus after and that kinda further proves why this 6/20 show might go unnoticed.
Damn!
Alright, you know it's gonna get Stranger huh Strider?
I'm hip for the trip to 3/31/80.
Hot Dog Jim them's some Hot shows in Hartford, love that '87 vibe.
OB I wish I could help with the cartoon.. but you got me.
Not familiar with it, but if you find it, I wanna see it and hear all the deets.
That's all I got.
So let's get on with the show!
I check my memory, I check it quick, oh yes I will
6/16/74: out-of-this-world wood
6/18: solid wood
6/20: nice wood
6/22: good wood
6/23: major wood
6/26: awesome wood
6/28: magnificent wood
6/30: beautiful wood
Wood
Remember kids wood and catheters don't mix!
how bout.....
Woke up with some morning wood today.
Went to pee but the wood would not go away.
Went in the yard and water the plants this way.
When the water past, the wood it went away.
I know, sad humor,,,, if it were good, I'd be selling ice cream!
Great Recording
by Rob Eaton on this 3/31/80.
Sounds like this run was fun.
Yeah both
So both of them there shows sound killer today.
Nice suggestions PF & Jim.
I'm in June '74 with the Wall of Sound and it's sunny outside.
And anytime you want to suggest a top 5 PITB, I'll take the bait.
Amazing how much presence Phil had in '74.
Edit: 6/16 & 6/18/74 that is.
(Oil that is! Black Gold, Texas T)
Stranger
One of the great late era songs. I don't think I am alone in saying this tune made sense or had a calming effect on that point in the show where the ceilings and walls become liquid and there is at least a little concern that they might turn to goo and begin dripping down the sides of the coliseum/shed/theatre/area/stadium or wherever the hell you were when the shit really started to hit the fan.
And I love that song for that effect. It's going to be alright, now let's get on with the show.
Re: Dr. Proudfoot
Goodness.. as funny as I thought my last comment was, it will surely screw up my future run for Senate. In summary, Dr. Proudfoot, deadnet's most beloved scholar.
My edited post pontificated and expanded the meaning of the word Minglewood. Let's just let that post die a graceful death.
Night all.. this is a family channel after all???
Or is it?
Favorite Minglewods
4/29/71, 5/15/70, 12/30/79, I like a lot of the 1977 versions also.
I'm "goin' down" (wink wink nudge nudge)
to mingle my wood with....uh....
Family shmamily
We are all just twisted old men here
of our own device

Minglewood
So many great minglewoods. 5/28/77 comes to mind as well as 10/3/87. But there are so many more. Always a rocker. And the version from Ladies and Gentlemen from April 71 lights it up.
Didn't this appear on Shakedown Street. All new minglewood blues.
right there
with Dr. ProudFoot - 6/16 Playing is one of the greatest. love it love it love it. another favorite from that year is the first October night at Winterland, 10/16.
yes like a moth to the psychedelic flame of '74. that Omni show on 6/20 was new to me too, despite looking at the set list for years in my raggedy ass deadbase. listened yesterday and thought whole show was excellent. yep a little short for the year, some tape wobble and speed issues maybe set II. no matter. Trucking and Eyes were the bomb. Something about the Slipknot jam reminded me of a Celtic fiddle tune, which was not something I've ever associated Slipknot before. The China Doll was gorgeous. hopefully any tape issues can be ironed out for a release.
onward
Minglewoods
4/29/71
5/15/70
my first show, first tune: Minglewood.
Just for the sake of arguement
Today marks anniversary of my first show. 4-1-80 - Capitol Theater - Passaic, NJ.
RAH!
Didn't know shit! It was all a blur. It was loud.
Knowing now what I know, I was very lucky to be at that venue, we had great seats on the floor in a small theater.
Happy Anniversary Dennis!
That’s one hell of a start!
That should of been our pick...
STRANGER: always loved a good Stranger opener, especially if plugged in ; )
Like a second set song to open.
Jim/Senate
So do you think your taking my seat or VGUYS?
I relish the battle ahead, and a new breed of politics. Let’s start with that time you skipped a show to study for a test
Rrrrraaaaabnnnnnnnntttttt, (buzzer sound like when your wrong on a game show! ; )
Family Shmamly
Hey, I resemble that remark!
Here’s some family entertainment for the kids

6/16/74
Isn’t that my good twin Oroboros first show? Where is that ole rascally rascal? We haven’t heard from him in a couple years! If your out there, hope your doing well amigo!
Perhaps Dr Proudfoot can conjure up some potion and summon him?
Wish Realgone would re-drop this one, one of the few I don’t have. But I do have the Bonus disk thanks to an unbelievably kind person here!! Thanks again Bra! Still can’t believe how generous that was!
BOLO and the four As
Hhhmmmmm??? That would make a sweet box!
3 shows from each historic run....
Or is it another clue?
Or is it a fools errand?
Hmmmmmm???
"A"
Alfred College
Alligator Alley Gymnasium
Aladdin Theater
Academy of Music
Alfond Arena
Alleghany State College
I think Bolo has officially announced the Alphabet Box Series and the end date for vault material releases.
Each year for the 20 (no venues starting with X, Q, Z,...) or so years we will get a box of all releasable shows based on the first letter of the venue, after the alphabet is completely exhausted.. all the worthy shows will have been released, Dave will retire and that's it. This is great news, the "A" box released on October 31st is going to be spectacular.
The down side.. I am going to be old as dust by the time RFK '73 gets released. An alternate box concept is the Everything Box where every show in the vault would be remastered and released as a giant treasure chest. (#StormTheVault #FeeTheReels)
Edit: The final box would be a three show box for Zoo Amphitheatre, 1981, 1982 and 1985.
As for my run for Senate.. My only shot is a devastating scandal followed by resignation.. so long as you two stay away from under age girls while crossing state lines, your seats are safe.
Official Marye day
It’s Marye day so remember to say thanks for all she does for us!
Perhaps everyone should send her a PM NOT complaining about missing product ; )
Or we should get her some batteries for her ebike...those things are costly!
6/16/74 PITB
Wholly guacamole batman!
New favorite PITB!
GOGD your Minglewood must still be fully engaged after this one!
"Give me T for texas, yes it's T for Timbuktu, T for piTb,
where the cool lil psychedelic hippie chicks know just what ta do!"
it's on archive
I have the good fortune of having been given a _bunch_ of CDs over the years. At the moment, I am listening to 5/10/69 (Rose Palace, Pasadena CA)
In addition to awesome music, there are some rather unique things that occur.
give it a listen sometime.
Gong Bong, anyone?
some people...
Last summer, my son's Prius had its catalytic converter stolen.
three nights ago... my Prius' CC got stolen.
BASTARDS.
If I could get hold of 'em, I'd force feed the thieves brown acid and lock 'em in a room with a non-stop strobe light and nothing but Bobby Goldsboro's greatest hits on repeat.
Luckily, insurance covers all but $100 of the replacement.
