"When it came to 1973 Dead, I was always drawn to the big second-set jams, 'Dark Star' or 'The Other One,' and all of the places those songs could go that year. One week during my initial stint with the Dead, Dick was spending a lot of time listening to 9/8/73, and he could not stop raving about it. He was very intent on pointing out that despite the absence of the 'Big Two' from 1973, every song, every solo, every moment was out-of-this-world excellent. He played me the first set, giving a play-by-play of each song and what made it special. In those listening sessions, Dick taught me a lot about how to listen critically and objectively. Of course, the subjective self always creeps in, those moments when you whoop and holler at how good a performance is, but that objective listening is critical. After many days of listening, Dick moved to other eras, as was his wont, since he carried the responsibility of selecting the best Dead shows from all eras to represent the Dead’s recorded legacy. But he made it clear and inarguable that he felt 9/8/73 was one of the best-played shows from one of the Dead’s best years." - David Lemieux

Despite the gloriously blustering artwork above, the forecast for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 38: NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, UNIONDALE, NY, 9/8/73 is blazing hot! With a double endorsement from archivists Dick Latvala and David Lemieux, you know it's a MUST HAVE. This one's got inspired playing from start to finish, with soon-to-be-minted Wake Of The Flood classics, a first-ever "Weather Report Suite," Keith polishing his chops on "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away," Jerry tapping into era-defining sound with his Wolf guitar, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Bob's exquisite playing too.

Among our 2021 Dave's Picks subscribers? The subscribers-only bonus disc featuring nearly an hour and a half from 9/7/73 is coming your way too. (P.S. there's 35 minutes of 9/7/73 on Dave's Picks Vol. 38, to boot)

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 38: NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, UNIONDALE, NY, 9/8/73 was recorded by Kidd Candelaro and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

Found this item I wrote on my FB page 2 years ago today....

"I really don’t care much about hockey, but the idea that 17,000 Bruin fans are gonna go home pissed off makes me cross eyed giggly with delight! Oooh another goal, 4-0 Blues... way to defend home ice Boston..."

Re: Three More Releases/Oroborous/Seaside Chat/Fugitive Dave

Thanks man.. for reposting the Skull and Roses Seaside Chat and clarification on remaining releases. If I am hearing this correctly, he says besides the four Dave's Picks there are three more or at least three more.. but he doesn't feel an urgent need to discuss this, not being secretive, etc. because Rhino does such a great job announcing these releases, yada yada.

So if there are an additional three, we have Skullfuck, the Record Store Day release and the mysterious, elusive, not discussed box set. That would make three, right? Hopefully more but I am not sure he told us much.

Oh.. I had never seen that seaside chat before and it might be my favorite one so far. I need to watch it start to finish first.. but in this episode of Seaside Chat Fugitive.. Dave L, with his dark maroon tinted sunglasses knows his freedom is in jeopardy. He keeps looking over his shoulder, looking up, looking left, looking right.. every two and a half seconds he is looking behind him.. Is that an eagle or the cops? He remains jittery, like he knows they are closing in on him.. they know who he is, where he is, his deepest secrets.. they are tapping his phones, have frozen his assets.. the Marshalls (Mounties) are closing in and there is nothing he can do but run from justice and continue living on the lamb. It has been weeks without any real sleep and fear of being captured has taken hold of all his senses each and every second of a 24 hour day... Mr. Lemieux knows deep down inside the jig is up.

Stay tuned for the next episode of Seaside Chat Fugitive where David L. discusses the Summer 1973 Box Set and gets a passport under his new identity from the dark web, just in the nick of time. (or is this all a setup, a ruse to draw out of hiding)? Stay tuned to find out, and be kind.. subscribe.

RE: Gary Farseer

Hola, good to see ya, hope your doing well!
As Conekid said the “other one”, my bazaro Jerry alternate double, is the Sculptor with the cool older stories than thou.
Unfortunately, we haven’t heard from my good twin in way too long! If your out there amigo, hope your doing well.
Or SKULLTRIP? Where you boys at?

As I think I explained, at Buckeye 88, I had just broken my ankle so was kinda over the top on “snacks” and kinda miserable. It wasn’t the best place for crutches lol. We were just to the sorta front right of the soundboard.
That show has really grown on me over the years.

DENNIS 😁

WOTF Bonus; wondering if he’ll do a chop job?
You’d think he’d go with I believe 9/15 or 9/17, since they have six songs off the yet to be released WOTF album.
There both pretty good shows too! Personally I like the horns once in awhile as it’s yet another version of the band, but I feel like most people slag em. They would be the most appropriate, but as we’ve seen so far his/their idea of this and ours are often very different lol.

FOLSOM 15th: had a decent tape of the second set that I loved as a kid. Haven’t heard that show in forever.

Re: RSD GD

Not wanting to take that chance on a Europe '72 show. Plus, the 2/28/69 vinyl is a special case, because they royally screwed that release up. It was "released" to record stores, but not shipped to them before orders were placed. It wasn't an RSD thing where product was delivered with instructions not to sell until RSD, so some stores were fulfilling months later, while others seemed to have gotten physical copies and shipped them out. I had 3 different orders for it, 2 of them canceled by the store, the last canceled by me after the 4th order came in from England. And I had placed the orders in June I believe and received in September, and the very next day dead.net put them onsale here. For more than I paid. And to make matters worse, 3/1/69 seems delayed by 2 years...

The thing about RSD GD Vinyl

You can sometimes obtain an unopened copy 9-15 months later for less than the original selling price.
But not always, which is the gamble that must be assessed.

But what really boggles the mind is that this one has yet to sell out, although it’s priced more than what I paid at a local shop when it originally came out.
Did they print more copies than what it says on the release, or did people just not want it?

Kaleidoscope

Sadly I never got to see them live. I don't think they ever made it to Europe but I may be wrong. I did get to see the esteemed Mr. Lindley twice, once with the excellent El Rayo-X at The Venue in London and once at a strange gig with four solo guitarists, namely David Lindley, Richard Thompson, Rory Gallagher and Juan Martin. That was at the Dominion Theatre in London in 1984. It was a weird gig that almost worked.

DP38 at the Isle Of Fehmarn

Got my copy #11488 today, bonus disc comes with sticker.

@simonrob
Also saw David Lindley two times in the 90th - Hamburg and Kiel
and taped both shows. Hamburg with Wally Ingram and Kiel with Hani Naser,
the tape from Kiel is excellent audience.
And I still have 2x C90 tapes from the acoustic concert at the Dominian Theatre in
London with Gallagher, Lindley, Martin ant Thompson.
As fas as I remember it's a lousy recording. Got it in a trade years ago.
Stay safe and healthy
JJ

Bonus Disc Sticker

Perhaps it's the alarmist in me.. but I took my sticker out of the sleeve with the bonus disc and put it in the sleeve with the liner notes. The last thing I want to see in ten years is opening up the bonus disc and noticing that some of the glue degraded and seeped onto the CD.

A pretty harmless precaution.. if I'm wrong, no harm no foul.

#3845 Has Arrived In Canada

Ready to play in the coming days.

I only saw David Lindley one time, I think with Jackson Browne maybe, in the mid-70s, but I remember he was one of these guys - like Larry Campbell - who could play anything with a string on it, and play it amazingly well!

Tripping in 1969

Keithfan - in the sleeve notes for Dicks Picks 26, referring to the Chicago show on 4/26/69, Bear writes that " We generally did psychedelics on Saturday." Sounds like a plan!

MMW

For any MMW fans out there, I found a recent conversation with them taking about their music. I thought this was great. Hopefully these guys get on the road in 2021.

Psychedelics & Stickers

Thanks Daverock, very interesting.
That's less often than I assumed lol. I'm going to guess then, it was psychedelics on Saturdays and weed the rest of the days. I simply can't imagine they went up there completely unaltered. I've read that Pigpen wasn't into psychedelics, but (I've heard) a little weed after a drink or two (I've heard) makes for a nice all-over buzz, no paranoia. I wonder if that was his bag.....

I put my Bonus sticker right on the fridge. No harm but definitely a foul. Sometimes I just plain behave like a bachelor first and deal with the aftermath as needed.

Kirwin Perfect

Nappy, I'm so jealous you saw Danny Kirwin and Christine Perfect in San Diego. I am so in awe of both of them. Any memories?

"No harm but definitely a foul"

LOL KeithFan - sounds about right!
(with an honorable mention to Jimbo)

Sixtus

Met Her Accidentally.....

From the original May 1977 Box Set, I went with today's anniversary show, St. Paul, MN. I'm up to Sugaree. I always listened to this one and 5/17 the most from this Box Set. The Scarlet / Fire is probably in my top 5 (as is 5/17). Whole show has a lot of cowbell. The SNL cowbell. But I'm sure Mickey has some literally cowbell in here somewhere. Looking forward to the whole Wharf/ Space / UJB / Brokedown Palace.

Speaking of getting on the road....

....Phish announced their summer/fall tour today!
It's a beautiful day.

5/11/77 St. Paul

That Sugaree's a set closer, right? Listen for the pre-breakout (5/19) China Doll notes from Phil before Wharf Rat.

Fridge

Lot's of stickers and magnets on mine. Sometimes it feels like I never quite graduated from college. Which is fine with me.

Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

Keithfan-but according to Freewheelin' Frank, "Smoking dope and drinking beer is like pissing in the wind."

funny

@daverock
very funny, pissing in the wind, in France we have a similar saying, "pissing in a violin"; meaning is you won't change any event, like the way the wind blows!!!

Morning Rockers

Doc came, preached The April '71, and then disappeared. Poof - just like that he's gone. I suspect we won't hear musical tales of that magnificence again until October.

Sixtus, good to see you're always out there. Speaking of always out there, Icecrmcnkd hasn't been "as" around as usual. I think he's been sucked into the Bonus Disc vortex.

Daverock, I've been pondering the words of Freewheelin' Frank...I guess he means you don't feel the weed after several drinks. So.... (I've heard) the trick is to have only one or two drinks....which means Pigpen probably only smoked at breakfast :D God bless him, he was one of us.

Jim, I'm on the same page. I feel like I've been in suspended animation since college - not always a bad thing; youthful shenanigans make for a lot of household laughter. I was mildly surprised by the ruckus I caused with the fridge sticker. It's bringing home the sorority girls that usually raises the alarm.

Franks Freewheeling Meaning...

I believe what Frank is trying to teach is not to get drunk THEN get stoned as that can lead to bad things.
So make sure you get good and stoned boys and girls before you start drinking! 😀

3617 in Plano

Arrived yesterday, finished the ripping process this morning.

Has Phil's bass EVER had anymore knobs on it??? A couple more knobs and the strings wouldn't have fit!!!

I like the sticker, thought about sticking it on my work locker, but, wasn't sure if set would "lose" value without the sticker!

Always late to lunch....

Got email from Real Gone today about a Bob Willis collection. Sounded great. If you like the Bob, check it out. Didn't know about volume 1 so had to buy 1 and 2. :-),,,, no rest for my wife's money.

Dave's 38 & Bonus Covers

Well, my copy did even more yo-yo-ing around the country than usual this time. Got it yesterday. Listening now, and well worth the wait!!!. . . Here’re links to my corrected scans of Helen Rebecchi Kennedy’s covers – hope some of you still need ‘em. Thanks to Jack Baller, PKB et al who posted art earlier! If you're interested, mine are probably a little higher res and maybe closer color-wise. Check 'em out. And be sure to pass around as needed.

Well done Jeff! Thanks again…

Well done Jeff! Thanks again for doing these beautiful covers!

Present and accounted for Keithfan

I’m always lurking.
But with spring weather I’m outside more too, so less time surfing the internets.

Thanks for the scans Jeff.

Dave, your Box Set announcement is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy past due.
Load us up with some more Plangentized/Normanized ABCD scores.

12958 arrives on Vancouver Island

I'm not really keeping track but delivery less than 2 weeks after the shipping notice arrived, has to be a new record for me. I wonder if having Dave living around Victoria has anything to do with faster delivery to the PNW?

I appreciate and like the Go-Gos....

....but Motorhead has like over 40 years of constant playing under their spiked belts.
Shame!

R'nR HOF?

screw 'em...it should've been The Runaways not the Goo Goo Foo Foo Go Go's...anyways...Dennis are you spying on me? Just got my Bob Wills Tiffany Transcriptions Vol 2 in the mail a few days ago...Ahaaa!!! Nitecat, The Mac were one of my top five faves from the Peter Green days and even up to Bob Welch...they played a lot of LA gigs both as headliners and support...sad about Kirwan though...a few times he was incrediblely on fire...others he was too drunk to play or even give a damn which of course led to his being kicked out of the band...The "Kiln House" LP was a fave and Station Man and Tell Me All The Things You Do were always a gas to hear....some day I'll tell you my Jeremy Spencer story...SimonRob glad to hear you saw Lindley at that gig...His El Rayo-X gigs were always a blast...for one great weekend at Laguna Seca in Monterey it was El Rayo-X, Los Lobos & Grateful Dead...some stuff...

Oh and...

Mucho thanks Jeff for the DaP covers...awesome

Dandelions And Woodlouse

might be also seen in the little town of Pissen in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

wildlife

Anyone ever seen a woodcock in proximity to a pissenlit? I was fortunate to observe a woodcock strutting across the road near a forested area about a year or so back. It's lucky that it didn't get run over by a passing car. Because there's nothing sadder than a smushed woodcock. Have a Grateful Day all :-)

Nappy, spying? Me?

Maybe just a close eye. You always mention these "older" people, I count on hearing about stuff here. Speaking of the older stuff,,,, we have a new kid at the store, worked with her for the first time last night. She told me Nat King Cole is a relative!!! Uncle? Related somehow. I was blown away, I know no one famous, certainly not related.

Jeff - Thanks for the covers, your timing was propitious! (It was Word of the Day on an elevator screen!). Seriously, I was burning 38 & bonus yesterday, and could not find a good copy of the Bonus cover. Gracias¡

Covers

Jeff - interesting looking at all those covers of Dave's Picks., thanks for that. But it surprised me how unfamiliar I was with a lot of them. I have got them all ( fingers crossed about Dave's 38), but I wouldn't have known it from looking at that post. In fact I went up to check I had number 12, and I have - 4/11/77, but I've no idea what it's like. There must be quite a few up there, in the post 1974 era, I have only played the once.
