    "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.

    Paid for an Amtrak trip to Oakland and beyond for the 86 February GD shows and as a bonus, Jerry Garcia acoustic show 2/28/86 at Marin Civic Center. Ghiradelli chocolate and dairy for the tradish stylie , carob and all boring vegan for the purists. (Or is it the other way around) So four kinds for the kindly kind folk milling around the Kaiser.

    FOTM Quacking Duck - The Rest of the Story

    I was listening to and reading the liner notes of Garcia Live Vol. 1 this morning. This one's for you, KF...

    Excerpt from David Gan's liner notes:

    .....Some of the Oberheim work on this collection sounds a little tweaky for today's standards, but it was state of the art at the time. "The stuff I was doing had a lot of envelope" said Ahers. ("Envelope" is the contour of a musical note, expressed as ADSR: Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release. Each parameter can be programmed by the synthesist to create aural shapes far beyond the capabilities of ordinary mechanical instruments. Garcia used an envelope filter on his guitar sometimes, most noticeably on "Estimated Prophet" with the Dead and in a sweeter, gentler way on "Catfish John" in this set. An envelope filter doesn't control the envelope of a note - it tracks the volume envelope of the note as played and modifies the tone accordingly, this yields a characteristic quacking sound on the guitar).....

    Heh, Edibles

    If you could call it that. My buddy was cooking his own edibles for sport before most people on the east coast knew it was a thing in the late 90s. Brownies were his specialty, but he tried everything at one time or another. And his goods were always better than any manufactured product I came across in later years.
    No time for brownies? No problem - fried egg sandwiches - certainly not something that tasted good, and the first time he had a difficult time getting the measurements correct. We were flying by the time we got to Six Flags. After the first roller coaster we just flopped down on a bench, two experienced stoners trying to make speech work. After a half hour we managed to articulate the word McDonalds.
    Standing up looked like a couple of dudes balancing on surf boards. The McDonalds line felt like a mile long, and after a few minutes neither of us dared to speak, as we were way too close to other people than the relative safety of the park bench; and besides, the only thing coming out of our mouths was muffled quotes from Fear & Loathing (shit about Bat Country and the like, which inevitably led to obscene fits of doubled over laughter). I took a swat at a bat and knocked a guy's entire food tray on the ground. I got my shit together enough to apologize and get my wallet out, but fuck me if I could count money at that point. I ended up fanning a bunch of bills in front of him like a hand of cards and let him take what he needed.
    Neither of us dared to try verbal communication again while we were in that line....We finally got to the front and my buddy tried to order. The first sentence was a garbled mess, like a kid trying to speak with peanut butter in his mouth. "I'm sorry sir I can't understand you." But I understood him perfectly. So I stepped up to help and blurted out in a muffled voice "he said, is this not a reasonable place to park???"

    My friend went to his first Dead show in Vegas, in 1992 (I joined him in Vegas for the 1993 shows), and as he was walking around his first Shakedown Street, he was offered a Ganja GooBall, which he purchased and consumed. But he later confessed that he SHOULD have nibbled it, rather than devouring it, as he was pretty wiped out for most of the show once the GooBall kicked in.

    A few years ago I ate a TON of fried fish and French Fries at an all-you-can-eat fish fry before going to hear a GD cover band. Between the restaurant and the show, I ate a decent amount of THC chocolate. Five hours later I went to bed, thinking the chocolate was bunk.

    But, lo and behold!--I woke up at 8:00 the next morning to coach my son's 10-year old basketball team, BAKED as all get out! :-O Thankfully there was another coach, who was WAY into the games (I enjoyed designing the practices, but couldn't care less about the games), so he took care of things while I sat with my coffee, staring at the gym floor, with the sounds of twenty basketballs careeeeeeeeneeeeeneeeening around my skull during warm-ups. The other coach (who became a good friend) commented that I looked a bit out of it. I told him a few years later just what was going on that morning. About 2:00 that afternoon I finally straightened out . . .

    So now I'm always skeptical of edibles; smoke goes straight to work. But I've read since that eating too much, especially fatty foods, really delays the effects of the edibles.

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.

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
