    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.

    Listening to vinyl provides quite a good source of exercise. Maybe throw in the odd single after a week or so.

    I agree. The Albuquerque show is my favorite official 71 release (Skull Fuck not included). Also, Albuquerque is really tough to spell.

    Also, "Albuquerque" is one of my favorite Neil Young tunes.

    Peace

    The more you know...$255.5 million grossed in 6 years.
    Dead & Company was formed in 2015 when the Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir joined forces with artist and musician John Mayer, Allman Brothers’ bassist Oteil Burbridge, and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. The result was one of the most successful touring bands of the decade. Since its formation, the band has completed six tours, playing to 3.4 million fans, and has become a record-breaking stadium act. Having toured consistently since its 2015 debut, the band has grossed $255.5 million and sold 2.8 million tickets across 149 reported shows.
    Dead & Co. has headlined iconic stadiums across the country including Folsom Field, Autzen Stadium, Citi Field, Fenway Park and Dodger Stadium. Additionally, the band broke Wrigley Field’s all-time concert attendance record.
    In between tours, Dead & Company hosts its annual “Playing in the Sand” all-inclusive Caribbean concert vacation in Mexico and features three nights of Dead & Company playing on an intimate beach. Due to overwhelming fan demand, a second weekend was added to 2022’s Playing in the Sand. Both weekends have sold out.

    Thanks Dave

    Not sure anyone has posted but wanted to say "Thank You" to Dave and Gary for the Shakedown Stream. I watched a couple of times, a very entertaining show. Also the interview with Jim Lauderdale was excellent. I met Jim in the winter of 2002 (I think) when he was touring with Donna the Buffalo. I was thinking about that before the interview got started and sure enough, he mentioned them. I was wondering about them, thought maybe they disappeared. But they are still a functioning unit, seems they play mostly festivals. No sense posting any details. They played a small club in my hometown back in 2002. It was the same club I also got to speak with Rob Wasserman. I have met several musicians but unless I impress them enough (never happened) to exchange numbers, it really does not mean much other than a few minutes to chat with them. I think Mr. Wasserman was on tour with Particle at the time.

    Any way, I am so glad Mr. Lauderdale is still out there making new music. He told great stories of working with Mr. Hunter. I never even realized he did that so it was a great new revelation for me. Also, nice to know he still collaborates with Donna the Buffalo, and still tours. I didn't know he lived in Nashville, but that makes sense.

    It was a memorable night with Dave and Gary. Not only did Mr. Lauderdale speak of continuing work with Donna the Buffalo, he also talked about working with the North Mississippi Allstars. Another band I saw about 6 weeks ago. They were opening for southern jam acolytes, Blackberry Smoke. Another excellent show, that and TTB are the only shows I have seen live since 2019. Hope the healing and return of live music sticks.

    Cassette Digitization

    When are we going to hear about the box? Jeez, the waiting is the hardest part!

    In the meantime, I thought you guys could give me a little tech advice, to wit:

    I have a lot of cassettes of shows I recorded that I want to digitize from my Nakamichi cassette player to my iMac, hopefully as high res wave files. Any suggestions for the go between tech?

    And thanks for being a wonderful, informative and entertaining place to visit each day, you guys are great! I took someone's advice last week and listened to Fox Theater 10/18/72 and WOW great show, serious space jamming in the second set.

    116 degrees in Portland yesterday, whew, three record breaking days. It was brutal! Like standing in the middle of a hair dryer!

    Dave is likely morning last night's loss.

    A little dose of reality last night for the Habs. Tampa is good. Really good.

    I am still baffled by the Avs and GKights both losing.

    Weight loss secret. Eat less and move more.

    I'm not a very big guy, but lost 15 pounds last summer by giving up desserts, booze and walking three miles a day. Now I am motivated and rollerblade 30-40 miles a week to keep it off. Even after adding back the sweets and booze, albeit in moderation.

    Good luck.

    Box set, Dick's Picks, Dave's Pick question

    Have we seen any releases from the Greek Theatre or Frost Amphitheatre, ever? Not that these venues are known, for amazing shows!!!!
    I would love to the see a Boston 69 box set, including the spring Ark shows and the 2 New Years Eve shows.
    Why am I thinking RFK 93, both nights, with video? Either way I would love to see more Blu-ray/DVD releases.
    Any thoughts on another Boxzilla or more along the lines of a mini-box, ala Giants Stadium?

    I cannot predict the arrival of the Box Set, but Friday sounds great to me Jim. If I was good at predicting, I’d have won the recent Lotto France. Not even a number!! N’a pas gagné!

    PF - Good luck on the weight battle. It’s tough! I walk 10,000 steps+ a day with my hound, and bike, and it still Clash of the Titans with weight. I wish you good health - you got this!

    VGuy - I was delighted to hear you liked Garcia16. Mine is still not here, but lots to do and play in the interim.

    A little town (2,500 souls) in the middle of BC set a record for heat in Canada yesterday, approximately 117 degrees F, called Lillooet. I passed through there about two years ago. It is a tiny place , nice folks, in the valley of the mountains, off a major river (Fraser), kind of “not much there, there”, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein. How this lush valley (vineyards) came to be the hottest place, is a puzzle to me. Stay cool, all.

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.

I just applied and got an immediate response. It looks like I got the Archivist Intern job at Rhino, my mom is so proud. First things first.. what to do with Dave for the next couple years?... mmmmm

#RFK1973orBust

Edit: You're right SimonRob.. we get a close up view peoples Avatar's when we reply. It looks like someone went to town on VGuy's glass with a WorkingMan's Dead Hatchet!

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.

ConeKid...this show and in particular, the transition of which you speak is as good as you have discovered. Sublime, smooth, like buttaaah. It's just sooooo good, makes me wonder why they didn't do that more often. Love this show, it is release worthy IMHO.

P.S. I feel like I am back on dial-up and using AOL with this new website design. It almost seems as if someone did something half way then just said fuck it.

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.

Peace all.. have the best rest of the weekend you can possibly have.

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.

Heeeyyyyyy, I resemble that remark!

Yeah, go Isles eh!
@&&&*&$& 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
