    "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.

    And now back to our regularly scheduled DaP 39 discussion

    Or will that now take place in the St. Louis thread?

    I passed on the Giants Stadium box so I'd be very happy with a pick from the Vince/Bruce years. It has been some time since Dave gave us a show from '69 or '70, but I think he will hold on to shows from those years for subscriber bait in 2022 or 2023. We had two Brent picks last year. If we get one in 2021 I bet it will be from his early tenure with the band. What about Gainesville?

    Will we get a seaside chat first, or find out when we get our shipping notice? Just a few more days to go.

    Got to Admit I Did Not See This Coming

    Seven complete shows from 71, 72, and 73? Sold! Done and done. 71-73 is prime time, AFAIC, and I placed my order right away. Currently fighting the urge to also order the 2-lp thing. That would be an awesome Thing to Have, but my collection is already pretty out of control, so I try to avoid duplicating CD/lps.

    As long I’m posting, let me also mention the TTB’s recent release of “Layla Revisited”, which is (you guessed it) their recording of the Clapton classic. They did the whole album, live at LOCKN, with Tres sitting in on guitar/vox. I’m kind of ambivalent about concept: is this what rock bands are going to do now, just play the classics, like a string quartet giving us yet another recording of Mozart? And I’m guessing that, in normal times, this might not have been officially released, but Derek and Susan probably decided to put it out there to help make up for all the touring revenue they’ve lost during the pandemic, which I don’t begrudge them for at all. Like the Dead, they’ve got a big “family” of crew and band members to support. Anyway, it’s very well-recorded, everybody plays and sings great, and it’s interesting to hear these songs with a horn section. Derek’s solos alone are worth the price of admission, IMO. Anyway, heads up on this, all you TTB fans.

    12-10-71 sure looks good to me.

    That's a long preorder period (3 months?) for a single 3-CD set. Maybe they use the preorder volume to guide their production run. Or maybe this is the breakout show from a late '71 box and the box will take time to put together (supply chain issues).

    I'll throw my hat in the ring that DP 39 will be '80s or '90s. And Dave will rave about it this Friday.

    A leaked "announcement" appears to be more powerful than yet another Dave rave....

    In the last few years three December 71 shows were released (12/6, 7, 14). There will NOT be a December 71 box set THIS year.

    12-10-71 has to be part of a December '71 box, yes? Lots of people seem to agree.

    That cover on Amazon, if it is the cover and not a pirated boot, looks like a segment of a box, signifying Pig's return.....

    Just to get ready, been listening to 12.1.71. Ramble on Rose through Cryptical Suite. Pristine stuff.

    Regarding DaP 39: 1969 or 1970

    They arrived, after a long hike, to a rolling estate of tombs, altars, dens, shops, and paved streets.

    A gnome, further up the path, dressed in train-engineer overalls wiped his brow with his cap and continued to hoe a small plot of rich dark soil; half of the raised flowerbed was lined with daisies and purple lilies.

    "What're you growing there?"

    "Box sets. They'll be ready to harvest in, oh....'bout a month or so. Being Dead means you must remain calm."

    "What's the vintage of the latest box? Hope it's a tasty one."

    He offered a wobbly Jack-o'-lantern grin. "Not at liberty to say. Big reveal's comin', though. Count on it."

    Dave's Picks 39 announcement?

    I don't remember getting an email about this forthcoming release and no announcement here on dead dot net. I was thinking that there was going to be an email sent out on July 16, but that didn't happen, or at least I didn't get one yet.
    Late, by my ideas.
    As of now, the DaP 39 show in question will be on September 19, 1995, in Boston Gardens, Boston, MA.
    Almost 3 hours of Boston Gardens commercial air conditioning noise, traffic sounds, train noise, dogs barking, indistinct very echoed human voices, and NO GRATEFUL DEAD music.

    My guess is an early 1970's show anytime from 1970 thru 1972.

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
