    "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)

    The fall of dropping water wears away the stone....

    Yo! Rockers!!!!

    Set 1: Big River-Brown Eyed Women-Beat It On Down The Line-Scarlet Begonias-Black Throated Wind-Row Jimmy-Mexicali Blues-Deal-The Race Is On-Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo-El Paso-Ship Of Fools-Weather Report Suite>It Must Have Been The Roses

    Intermission: Seastones

    Set 2: U.S. Blues-Me And My Uncle-jam>China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider-Beer Barrel Polka-Truckin'>major jam>Wharf Rat-Sugar Magnolia

    Encore: Eyes Of The World

    A high school graduation present from my brother, my best friend and I attended the seastones show at Providence on June 26, 1974. Lightning in a bottle, life changing event. Don't really recall the seastones segment, but the rest of the show was a major mind boggle, especially the China/Rider, the big jam sequence, and of course, the super rare Eyes of The World encore. I had been to one Dead show previously (12/1/73), but Providence 74 was when and where I officially got on the bus.

    Ten years before we chased Augusta 84, we chased Providence 74. And what a fun pursuit that was!!

    Rock on!!!

    Space cakes

    They remind me of free festivals from the second half of the 70s - Deeply Vale, and maybe the least attended Glastonbury on record in 1978. Where I achieved the distinction of being busted. I can remember having one in Amsterdam once, and a mind blowing truffle at WOMAD in 1999. I never knew what was in these confections-but the effects were pretty hefty.

    Goo balls vs space cakes...

    Never heard of goo balls on this side of the pond but a quick Google was revealing. So goo balls seem to be grain based snacks with added ganja. I have always thought that ganja is the prevalent form of cannabis in America whereas charas was predominant in my part of the world in the '70s. As such, charas was the magic ingredient added to space cakes rather than ganja. The cakes themselves were just standard bake-in-the-oven jobs. However one ingests their cannabis, the problem is knowing how much to consume and how much effect it will have. At Ally Pally I think I consumed one cake more than the optimum. My cat was a big fan of space cakes.

    ISO series 2 Glass and have a series 1 NIB for trade!

    Anyone have a series 2 glass they’d be willing to swap for a brand new in package series 1 Dave’s picks glass?

    I cannot believe they are only running 1000 of each. I want the full set and wish they’d just offer a subscription package with the glass or some other cool LE only for subscribers thing (yes the discs are great, but setting up my adulting bar, I need some cool bar wear to go with it and I just missed the series 2 due to poor internet connection)

    Please let me know if you’re up for a swap I need series 2 and I’m crossing my fingers someone else has an extra series 2!

    Thanks!!!

    Seastones, Lonnie Smith

    Like Simonrob, I saw Seastones at one of the Ally Pally shows, at this distance in time I cant remember which 2 nights of the three I saw, but only one Seastones, so I was probably at the first night, and at a guess, night three. Unlike Simonrob, I really liked it.
    Curious aside, I had a friend, Keith, who is no longer with us, swore he had a conversation with Banana, of the Youngbloods, backstage... Keith and another friend Paul, also no longer with us, were also at the last shows before the hiatus, I used to have his ticket stubb with ' the last one' printed on it. Paul moved to Israel and founded(?) the Israeli bluegrass scene, played a great deal with Grisman on his sojurns in the country. RIP both old pals.

    Lonnie Smith: in my opinion his best material is on Blue Note. Afrodesia is a mixed bag ,some good some less so, we are getting pretty close to disco here. And he has a very curious singing voice, an aquired taste...but then again this is Dead Net, weve got Phil, so maybe you have a high tolerance of , shall we say, less than stella vocals.
    I have never been able to get through an album by Lonnie Liston Smith, but if you are so inclined I understand his best records are on Flying Dutchman records.

    Thank you simonrob, for your honesty

    I was on the road in '74 and had to leave San Francisco in the 2nd week of Sept '74 to get home for school. So I missed Seatones shows and, yes, the "last 5 nights." So close, but no cigar. And, based on the tapes I've heard, I did not miss out when it came to Seastones. The '74 version of "Eyes"? Yes. But not Seastones.

    Perhaps an acquired taste, like Ouzo? (Got a story there.....)

    Guilty as charged. I saw Seastones performed at Ally Pally in London, September 1974. They played three nights and I think Seastones was performed at the second and last shows. I have no idea which of those two nights was graced with my presence but I did witness Ned and Phil in action between sets. I was totally unimpressed by their electronic noodling. A compilation of the three shows was released as Dick's Picks Volume Seven. I have previously documented my subsequent efforts to get home after the show on here so I won't return to that now. I blame the space cakes.

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.

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.

Sorry about your glass VGuy...the picture says it all. Consider it the most challenging 3-D puzzle ever. And it appears my glass is out for delivery. We shall see if we can swap shards.

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.

I have to agree - way to go Isles!! Any time Boston loses, it is a great day. A few good dust ups in the game too. I love the intensity of the playoffs.

Good luck with your AVs today. Prediction: AVs vs Tampa Bay for the Cup. My dark horse is Vegas.

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
