    "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

With a double endorsement from archivists Dick Latvala and David Lemieux, you know it's a MUST HAVE.

    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)

    Gray skies are gonna clear up, Put on a happy face;
    Brush off the clouds and cheer up, Put on a happy face.
    Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy, It's not your style
    You'll look so good that you'll be glad Ya' decide to smile!

    Pick out a pleasant outlook, Stick out that noble chin;
    Wipe off that "full of doubt" look, Slap on a happy grin!
    And spread sunshine all over the place, Just put on a happy face!
    And if you're feeling cross and bitterish Don't sit and whine
    Think of banana split and licorice And you'll feel fine

    I knew a girl so glooming She'd never laugh or sing
    She wouldn't listen to me Now she's a mean old thing
    So spread sunshine all over the place
    Just put on a happy face

    .... I think I understood you perfect Strider,,,, Ramble on! :-)

    A Man Walks Into Dead.Net

    PF - There are so many variations on the “guy walks into a bar” jokes, that no matter if you’ve invited the Church choir over for a barbecue, or you are with your buddies, you have a good one or two!

    Gary - I’m glad you found the book. Her story is more - shall we say, nuanced - than what we may publicly know about Cassady, and the Beats, in general. She was a saint to put up with the guy.

    Strider - That is a very cool Kruschev story! That tops my most “I’ve met” or “I once saw” stories!

    Jack - Wise to cover all the bases as far as Dead eras goes, but with a band that has their legacy, as others have rightly mentioned, picking only four for Mt Rushmore is subjective, and challenging. Maybe instead of Mt Rushmore, we have a white board Menu board, where the Daily Special is constantly changing. “Today, serving 7/8/78, with one choice of side. Drinks extra!”

    Friday September 18, 1959 Nikita Khrushchev

    Forrest Gump moment . My grandmother on my moms side of the family had a farm in Briarcliff Manor, New York State. In 1959 Khrushchev was visiting the United States. On September 18, 1959 he drove in a motorcade from New York City to Hyde Park to visit Elenor Roosevelt. My grandmothers farm was right next to whatever the name of that parkway was. So I and my family all gathered less than 100’ from the entrance to the farm and saw the motorcade drive by. Being the five year old wag I was I asked, “was that Khrushchev on one of the motorcycles?”
    Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin in “The Wild Ones” was still looming large in the collective psyche of America.
    Jack Kerouac lived in Northport, New York on Long Island from August 1959 to April 1961. As my family moved over to Con-etiquette in 1960 I lived less than 10 miles from Jack, his mum and his cat. Well I was a pint sized hep cat for six. And by the end of the 6-tees I was a regular aficionado of muggles (the mean green, not Harry Potter) or boo. I hadn’t got hip to the Mezz yet but had done a Stan Laurel impersonation on the Chuck McCann Show while still in the 4th grade.
    The succession of tea down the pike was Rabbit turned on one of the Poet Laureates from West Virginia to his first THC , who in turn turned on my brother to his first time who at the very least influenced me to become a seeker (not the Australian pop / folk group -1962) but it was Nantucket surfer Murphy who ignited that first spark and flash and majestic buzz that echoed from then and there all the way to this here and now and on into eternity (quien sabe?).My first buzz with big Ben was while listening to the first Led Zeppelin album (the band not the Hindenburg) for my first time, Presidents Holiday 1969.
    Dear readers , if you’ve made it this far with my east coast upbringing literate ramble , you are probably wondering “what the fuck does this have to do with the Grateful Dead.” As Jerry said,” I identify more with the Beats than with the ....” Phil in the blanks however you’re moved.

    “I went into a restaurant lookin’ for the cook
    I told them I was an editor of a famous etiquette book
    The waitress he was handsome, he wore a powder blue cape
    I ordered some suzette, I said , “could you please make that crepe?”
    Just the then the whole kitchen exploded from boilin’ fat.
    Food was flyin’ everywhere, I left without my hat

    Bob Dylan’s 115th dream

    Maybe Nikitas ( the Communist , not the hockey player) shoe moment was what initiated the shoe phone for Maxwell , the Smart guy. 99 was an 11.
    I can say I know Jack now but 60 plus years ago I only knew motorcycles, huge American cars and my favorite, trains. Read “October in the Railroad Earth” , the short story, not the band.

    Rushmore

    My initial post never made it, so a few quick comments.

    The problem with Rushmore is that unlike Dead shows, we still get new presidents. We will likely have a transformational president in the future worthy of inclusion, but he/she will never make it. The project began in 1927 and was completed in 1941. Teddy Roosevelt is up there whereas FDR is a far more worthy president, in my opinion. He simply became president after the fact. To me Teddy is like Cornell. Yeah, he is up there but there are likely better choices.

    I look at it this way. One show from FW69 needs to be there as does one from E72. You can pick your own, but I favor 2/27/69 and 5/3/72. Any from FW69 are fine as are 4/8/72 and 5/26/72.

    Not to sound like a homer, but I am with Doc on 74. It needs to be there and Providence would be my choice.

    That leaves one. 77 will get the nod from most. Cornell gets lots of love, but I would go with either 5/22/77 or 5/25/77.

    My fourth choice would be 6/24/70.

    Gary & The Beats

    Gary - If you are delving into the writings of the Beats, especially Kerouac and Cassady, I highly recommend Carolyn Cassady’s “Off The Road”, if you can find it (not sure it’s still in print). It is a peak behind the curtain, so to speak. Another great read is Neal Cassady’s “The First Third”. I thought Cassady merely this cartoonish character of lore through the Beats, the Pranksters, and the Dead, but he actually was a pretty decent writer. I personally couldn’t get into Burroughs, never fan of the heroin scene and the gray shade it put on his writing, but Kerouac is something else!

    Angry Jack, VGuy - Agreed, that final series was poor entertainment. It was pre-ordained who was getting the Cup, pretty anti climatic.

    PPS - For all who have weighed in, this new Garcia release is one of the better recent ones! I am not a vinyl guy, but sorry for those that are. I know I collect music through Neil Young’s site, and he is constantly beating the drum about vinyl pressing problems, tons of delays.

    So let me fill it with a joke, as it’s been a long week for all:

    A man walks into a bar and sees his friend sitting beside a 12-inch pianist. He says to his friend, “That’s amazing. Where did he come from?”
    The friend pulls out an old lamp and tells him the genie inside will grant him one wish. The man rubs the bottle, and to his amazement, a puff of purple smoke spews out and slowly collects in the form of a genie. In a booming voice the genie tells the man he has but one wish.
    The man thinks and says, “I wish I had a million bucks.” All of a sudden the bar is filled with ducks, bursting from the door and the windows, standing on top of the bar, dunking their heads into people’s drinks.
    “What just happened?!” the guy asks. His friend replies, “I know. Did you really think I wanted a 12-inch pianist?”

    JGB RSD july 17th release

    Okay maybe not in line with this forum but it is about Jerry music
    JGB vinyl No longer coming out on RSD july17th.. Garcia family announced
    According to a statement posted on the official Jerry Garcia social media pages, the first pressings that arrived from the vinyl manufacturer were not in line with the quality presented on test pressings. The Jerry Garcia Family noted that the pressing’s fidelity was “a clear deviation from the standards we’ve set for our releases.” So instead of the originally planned limited pressing of 7,500 copies, the JGF has decided that “A full repressing is our only acceptable path forward.”

    “While we’re disappointed we won’t have this collection to share on Record Store Day, we’re committed to taking the time to ensure the music sounds just right (as Bobby would say),” the statement read.
    As a result of this unexpected delay, Jerry Garcia Band will not be ready in time for July 17th. The Jerry Garcia Family noted that it does not have a timeline for the release, but intends to complete the repressing in time for the end of the year. So even though the delay in arrival is not ideal for fans, the decision to go with a full repressing for the album will ultimately result in more copies made available to more fans.
    Bad news it is not coming out on 17 July. Everyone who has the CD will agree this is a monster show. Good news when it does come out it may not be limited so the greedy ebayers will lose out. Let the music play for everyone

Yes, it all looks a bit odd. After logging on a box appeared asking if I wanted to translate from Russian!-despite the fact that the text still seems to be in English.
Then the format is different, and a message appears telling me I can no longer post new messages on the forum. So it will be interesting to see if this message appears.

So they can't even get a website update right. If I scroll down to below the 10 displayed posts so I can add a new post, I first encounter another version of the header text followed by a buttload of posts in ascending order starting with the original Vguy post #1. The avatars on these old posts are huge, so I can now fully appreciate the broken fragments of Vguy's glass. After this multitude of old posts I then come to where I can type this in, but the text box is wider than the screen on my mobile. Tragic really.

Speaking of the hatchet.. it's the perfect weapon for an angry mob to wield and take over the vault. Just saying.. how many of us are there with these hatchets that have yet to see our favorite 1973 set of shows released? I'm not sure they thought this one through.

But the titles look better in bold than plain text.

The most recent site version didn’t show the post that you were responding to, whereas older site versions did show the post.
It’s helpful when you are typing a post and forget what you were responding to.

Edit:
The box that you type in is still really small on an iPad, hard to see what you are typing.
But the member photo is huge.
The web designer screwed up and switched which box was supposed to be large.

1) The old site was old and outdated.

2) The old site was overloaded with spam and needed a flush.

3) This site is now being hosted by Fancy Bear.

4) A revved up website is needed so that it doesn’t crash with the upcoming Box announcement.

I noticed half the gardening items are sold out. I started impulse buying for my kids who have a garden....

As I went on this spending rampage, I noticed there are fewer than 500 PNW box sets left. I wonder how many Winterland 1973 and 1977 box sets they produced? Because I was able to get both of those 5-6 years after release. Either they produced way more than 15K or some of these box sets are doing better than we think.

I have little to say, but repeating that phrase made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

I get the feeling they will improve on the interface a bit.. (I hope). I am finding that except for PM's, which are a fucking train wreck, most of the functionality is ok. It's clear to me they outsourced a good bit of this, or we would not have gotten the "would you like to translate this page" bs.

But let's give them a chance to make good.

I feel a need to reach out to HendrixFreak. I hope he is not lost in the back country.

Ever since last week when you steered me toward that Jam on 6/6/70, I have been deep under cover of the night, searching low and high for 1970 soundboard treasures. I began with what I had but seldom visited: Dark Star 3/24/70. It goes straight into an equally mind-bending Other One. Send lawyers guns and money.

@&&&*&$& you Marchand, ya Hemorrhoid!

Good luck today Vince, it should be a hell of a game/experience.
The only thing better than playoff hockey is live/in person playoff hockey!

Looks like it’s going to be Tampa, and what about those pesky Habs!
There is nothing like a hot goalie in the playoffs and Price is looking strong.
Hell, the whole teams playing well.
I know the league restructured etc, but how the hell is Montreal possibly playing the AVs or Knights in the conference final? Seems like they should be taking it to the Bs or Tampa? Weird...

Today’s games SHOULD be sweet, let’s hope the refs don’t ruin it...
Both games are big ones. If the Habs go up 3-0....
And If the Knights tie it up that series is going to 11! If the AVs win, they “should” be in the drivers seat. Chever way, should be a big, no “HUGE” day of hockey!
But until then, I need to find me some great sounding dead; mamas at work and I’ve been stuck listening on a iPad at work all week, I need a dose of real audio, sorry neighbors ; )

Just back from O-Wi-Yu-Kuts, mountains where Utah, Colorado and Wyoming meet... Lots of headroom out there. Working my way through a jar of psilocybin capsules... Not lost, not found. But pretty much coated in dirt after a few days. Back now, checking in on possible box news.

Keen to know whether the box-to-come is fall '72 or spring '69. Loving the latest Dave's, especially the Eyes at the end of first set, 9-8-73, my seventh show to see release. Only 68 more to go.

Cheers, HF
