    "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.

    Who Summer '72 boots, Miami '74, etc.

    I have several liberated bootlegs of The Who in Summer '72, of course not clean SBDs like we have with the Dead stuff, but most are quite listenable. (A variable term for sure, depends on one's experience listening to hissy audience tapes, but there are definitely decent ones to be found.) And I like collecting them to get those sort of tunes that they played with Moon for very brief periods. Who boots will vary from awful to great, you just gotta poke around.

    If I had a Mt Rushmore of Dead shows, 6/23/74 just about makes it on mine. Maybe not the best show from the Wall of Sound era, but to my ears, it is by far the best sounding tape of that era. Jerry's picks are all a little odder than usual, but all are perfectly chosen. The Ship of Fools (and it's intro Jam) is a fantastic way to get back from the weirdness of Seastones. And that Dark Star> Spanish Jam> US Blues is just magnificent.

    And to the post about the actual Mt Rushmore and FDR over Teddy: we wouldn't have had any sort of President like FDR without TR. We'd likely still be a smallish country with no great impact on the world without Teddy. Similarly, one could say the same of Cornell or Veneta or 2/14/70, because for a lot of people the tapes of legendary shows introduced them to the wonderful music and led to the discovery of the bounties awaiting the collector of more tapes. Those shows may not endure as favorites, but they are still signposts to a new space, to steal a title from a Jerry interview/book. And if I were to switch out a face on Mt Rushmore, it would def be Jefferson for Madison. (In keeping with ones who had served by the end of construction.)

    If I have to choose 4:
    11/8/70 (so wish there was a SBD of this one)
    5/7/72 (just bc Dark Star & The Other One)
    6/23/74
    5/8/77 (my George Washington, where it started for me)

    Yo! Rockers!!

    “We’re tuning up a little bit for you folks, make it sound better cuz nothing’s too good for you………”

    12/2/71, it's a bit of an oddity. One of only two 71 shows with both Brokedown Palace and Black Peter. The only 71 show with both a Smokestack Lightning and a Lovelight. And unusual for 71 in that it didn't have a Truckin', Good Lovin', The Other One, or Dark Star........

    Back in the very early years of my crazy tape trading daze this was one of the first “local Dead show recordings” I had, so it has a special place in my Grateful Dead heart of hearts. It never seemed like the greatest Dead show ever, yet I still treasured it then---AND now.

    Think I'll listen to it on my way to work.......

    72 Who and 12/2/71 Dead

    Gratefulgerd - I looked up the set list for your 8/11/72 Who show. That must have been incredible - I would love to hear Relay and Long Live Rock with the gang in their live prime. Those two songs were freshly written at the time, and then quickly dropped from the set list. I doubt any relreasable tapes exist of the '72 tour you saw, but I found a decent YouTube show from later in the month with the same set list. Good stuff.

    Proudfoot - I checked out your 12/2/71 recommendation. Some hot spots in there. I like those late '71 Smokestack Lightnings with Keith in the mix. The piano suits that song. Brokedown Palace is nice - they nail the vocals at the end, which is always the icing on the cake. Also like this UJB. Solid version and Phil really nails the backing vocal on the "crow told me" verse. He used to sing some cool parts in those early days.

    Also checking out other December 1971 shows after Doc's 12/14 recommendation. Currently listening to DaP 22 at the Felt 12/7. After Tennessee Jed someone in the crowd hollers out "St. Fucking Stephen!" and Jerry impatiently responds with "Aw, Fuck your own St. Stephen!" So glad they leave the stage banter in these releases. These guys sounded like they had a LOT of fun at work. What a way to spend your life.

    Dicks 23 and 36

    Keithfan - yes, thanks, I'll bear your comments in mind next time I listen. I will try the two El Paso's, and look out for the contrast.
    I should say that my immersion in Dicks 36-9/21/72 - has been stimulated by its release on vinyl, and that's the version I listen to now. It sounds amazing to my battle worn ears-but I haven't compared it to the cd version. Price it cost, I'm a bit scared to!

    Hi Daverock. Yeah, that was a tough choice, DP 23 over DP 36. They have very similar set lists. If I had to choose between one or the other to bring as the only Dead CD to the desert island with the coconut rum and bikini women, I would go with DP 36, based on the Dark Star, Wharf Rat, and Morning Dew. I'm not sure which Bird Song I prefer; maybe I'll put that to the test later. But anyway,
    I like the performances and the recording of DP 23 more. Jerry is consistently loud throughout DP 23. On DP 36 he's certainly not low, but he tends to get washed out a bit when the whole band is playing and he's not swinging away at chords. You can hear what I mean for example with El Paso. If you compare the first minute of DP 23 to DP 36, you can hear Jerry loud and clear on 23 when he's doing all of that cool picking; meanwhile he gets buried by the band on 36. I also hear more flashes of brilliant playing from Jerry on 23. Another thing about DP 23 is the backing vocals sound better to me in a lot of places, like they're "blended" together more evenly. And then there's the monster 40 minute Other One - lots of great jamming here, and they almost jam out The Eleven at one point (Jerry starts it but nobody hops onboard).

    Heavy Metal

    Did it, done it, occasionally revisit for nostalgia. I worked at the movie theater when Heavy Metal came out. Never watched the whole thing thru but saw all of the scenes in pieces. I have the Movie recorded on my DVR. Maybe today will be the day I revisit it. May try to watch twice before I erase it. If memory serves there were some other rock bands I uncertainly wouldn't call heavy metal. Let's see, Journey and Donald Fagan and others on there should never been associated with heavy metal.

    So I started thinking about it. I had written the first paragraph about 5 hours ago. Thinking about metal and some concerts I saw, when I started thinking about Judas Priest. I remember wow it was 1981 when I first saw them. Then it hit me that it was in summer July or August. I have the ticket but chose not to go digging through stuff. I check and 40 years ago right now, this music freak was preparing to go see Judas Priest, with Whitesnake opening and then Iron Maiden, at the Fox theater in Atlanta. Drove into town and heard the concert announcement on the rock radio station the night before. During afternoon next day went down the Fox Box Office and scored tics. Went back to room to chill out. Headed down to the show. All three of the bands were completely known to us. I had copies of British Steele and Point of Entry by Priest. I also had Iron Maiden Killers, and this was on the Killers tour, as well as their first album. Hard to believe 40 years went by like that. It was a true heavy metal concert. Well Whitesnake at this point was a heavier blues unit in the Zep and Purple line of hard rock. But damn did both Maiden and Priest drive that place hard. BTW, Maiden was the original maiden before Dickinson and the second drummer.

    Any way within 12 months I was clearly leaving metal behind and casting my gaze elsewhere.

    saw them in Frankfurt, August 11, 1972.
    Wow, the loudest band I've ever heard in concert, indoor Festhalle Frankfurt.
    I mean extreme loud!!!!
    My biggest mistake in '72: I could've seen the Dead in April, 26, Jahrhunderthalle.
    But I didn't. Why?
    Too young and to far away from what was really going on in the international music scene.
    Simply said, I didn't know GD.
    On May 2nd in 1972 I saw John Mayall, at the same location, Jahrhunderthalle Frankfurt.
    Great show, wouldn't mind to trade it for a show a week earlier.

He certainly is a game changer, VGuy. He is one of three guys up for the Vezina Trophy as top dog goalie, and I think it would be spooktacular if he won! You’re right - we have a series, same with Tampa Bay & Isles.

BTK - I am just reading Bill Graham’s bio, and I’m at the part where he talks about the closing of Winterland. I would have loved to have heard a show or two there, or either of the Fillmores, or the Carousel Ballroom. Legacy concert halls.

Big thanks to whoever from this site talked VGuy off that ledge at Caesar's Palace last night. Assuming it was AJS or Mike, anyway.. a big thanks from all of us.

Gary, CEDIA= custom electronics design and install association...
Boss used to take us all kinds of places, them we merged and went corporate and we go nowhere : (
Homeless Joe was this cool black dude who works that corner. But rather than just pan handle, he liked to try and help you in some way rather than just take, a symbiotic relationship. I heard him give some of our crew restaurant tips and one of my associates who knew about such things said his advice was spot on! He turned me on to a handy little convenience store that I wouldn’t have otherwise found, so I bought him a meal. I’ve never seen a person j walk/cross a street through traffic as well as homeless Joe (that’s what he called himself) Unfortunately, there were many other beggars that were not like him, and they seem to come outta the woodwork.
The GT was a cool old place though, loved parting on the pool/roof!

NAMM, always wanted to go, never did, bet it was fun!

HOCKEY
Yes, price was good, but it seemed eerily similar to AVs. The slight mojo shift; the Habs seemed to come out skating harder then I’ve seen, while the Knights seemed ever so slightly less jacked than usual. And like the AVs tge game could of easily gone the other way, so yeah, good hockey eh!

GD is at the top of my list of great bands, of course

I do occasionally listen to stuff other than GD for palate cleansing purposes

Plasmatics (1st LP & some of Beyond the Valley of 1984) AA NEE SO SHEE!!!
Swans
Melvins
Kraftwerk
Bad Brains
China White
GBH
Motorhead (of course)

Played a little bit as a kid. Predators fan but channel that shows them has dispute with cable provider and dropped them. Do have a local college that plays good hockey and a minor league team that plays well also.

My dealio, I wish the Stanley Cup was the week after the Super Bowl. Why start in the fall with playoffs in the summer. Nothing like watching hockey when it is 100 degrees outside. Wonder if any others feel the same way?

Icecrmcnkd - sorry to read that you have had some problems with the above album. Mine arrived this morning, and so far, I have been lucky. I have played the first two LPs, and there hasn't been anything wrong. Hopefully, you will be able to get the sticking and jumping sorted out...its a great sounding record.

I remember when I had problems with a new cd player last year, and SimonRob ( I think) suggested it could have been due to the fact that I had gone for a high end player. There seemed to me to be some truth in this. The shop who sold me the cd player replaced it with an identical model, which works like a dream....almost. It has recently started taking longer to initial cds, and they can take longer to start than they should. Anyway....I wondered if your turntable was high end ,and had increased sensitivity as a result. Mine sounds great...its a Pro-Ject, but its not the most expensive model out there.

I watched the last game of the 2010 Stanley Cup finals between Flyers and Blackhawks on a giant tv in an outdoor patio in Aruba. Wearing shorts and no shoes with the water and beach in the background. The combination of summer and hockey made for a oddly memorable experience. Would have been much better if the Flyers had won.

I have told myself to limit myself to one visit per day. The Captcha stuff _each time_ might be the grain of rice that tips the scales.

If I have my mind right the list of old schoolers here:

For number one, and forgive me if I leave some out, we have Nappy and Bolo or Bolo and Nappy. Fight amongst yourselves. Bolo said he was out walking with his mom when they came across the Human Be-In so that is January 1967. He also stated that he was intrigued (if memory serves) with what was going on but was a young lad. He also said his first show was Winterland 1973, cant remember which show. While Nappy saw his first show in 1969 (or was it earlier than that). Obviously some serious cred for both.

Then, I would assume is SimonRob with Bickershaw E72 for which he wrote the liner notes.

Then, I am assuming ForensicDoc with his November 30th (think I have that right Doc) Dicks Picks 14 concert.

Now I would assume BTK would be right in there, maybe even a little earlier.

Hmmm, I know I am missing some that saw pre-hiatus. Please speak up or correct this humbled servant.

Think it was SNAFU today mentioned his pedigree but maybe his first show was Boston some time.

I know there many others, I consider myself to be second generation some may reckon time as third generation but at least I got on board.

But as Jeff Smith always says, Onward, let's push this space ship Onward to infinity and beyond!

Edit: Or, at least , the Bus did come by!

and this goes to Keithfan also. I have a little ADD, very introverted, usually in my head. So when you wrote about Bridges and re Captcha, I didnt even tie in with the Zep remark. All, please forgive me as I am slow, just like the Mouse Avatar, a fine outstanding slack-jawed yokel.

With Keith the other day, it took me a while to get your subject as the response to the Chemistry call I gave. I didn't even think of my subject line as a call. It is I was just thinking of Chemistry when the melody came into my head.

All of these things relate to perception. I am slow to perceive but I chew cud a long time which leads to some depth of understanding.

Oh well, Ramble On.

6-17-75 is listed as being among the returned Betty Boards, the implication being that the soundboard is in the vault.

This show is special to me because in summer '75 (I've told this story before), a friend arrived from California with a large tape reel. We located a playback machine and hooked up a cassette deck and listened to and copied a killer audience tape of this show, just recently performed a month earlier. We were starved for live Dead so we busted out the Thai stick and grooved out.

Yes, I believe this is the only possible companion to the 50th Blues for Allah.

That is all.

your replacement will be packaged inside a Stanley Cup for your GKs.

I will be in Las Vegas next week, but my wife _would not_ approve of contacting someone from online.

I understand it will be HOT. If you hear an ongoing, high-pitched screaming whine, that's me.

I was in LV in June 94 when it was 115 or something at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl. That was horrendous (the heat and the show on 6/25...I missed 6/26). How do you LIVE there?

I plan on mornings in the pool, afternoons inside AC, nights out and about (for short periods of time).

6/17/75 one of the returned Betty shows?

Audio-Technica AT-LP-120-USB turntable.

Not super high-end but also way better than the suitcase turntable I played my Looney Tunes records on as a kid

This turntable has a lot of adjustments that can be made to the arm so maybe I just need to tweak things a bit to stop the skipping at the beginning of the album.
Once it settles in the sound of this new release is quite nice.

OK after reading numerous comments about this stellar show, I finally hooked it up last night for a good listen. That second set rips! Awesome sounding FOB! I'm ready for this one to be released, also.

I fixed a typo in a previous post and had to take 3 quizzes to move forward.

I suspect that the different appearance of the site last week was due to the scrubbing and cleansing that was going on.
Sadly, it’s probably a knee-jerk reaction to the keys to the vault being stolen in a just detected hack from weeks ago.
Now we know why we haven’t received a seaside chat about the hypothetical upcoming Box, the recording of the chat was lost along with all the releases that had been prepared for the next 5 years…..

Unfortunately, dead net was not on Biden’s list to Putin of things to stop hacking….

No need for Count Vlad to tunnel into the vault.
He just hacked his way in.

OK, cramming for my next reCRAPTCHA quiz.
Crosswalks, bridges, traffic lights,…..

Boston Music Hall '71. Not a clue which one, didn't know it would be important to me 50 years later lol.
Damn when I saw the email I was hoping I was wrong about the playoffs

before the crazy heat in the Silver Bowl they played Seattle and Eugene. Nice and cool, even rain for the 1st night of Eugene. Photos of Jerry playing in leather bomber jacket I think from 6/13. memorial coliseum in seattle was an intimate venue for the time - show was GA and you could walk anywhere i think not many people. and 6/13 is an excellent show. I mean it. Huge Scarlet-Fire to open Set II. And set ends with a fantastic, and I mean fantastic, Morning Dew. Jerry crushes it. Unfortunately the only SBD source for the show is the 1st 1/2 of Set II. 6/14 is an unusual set list but really well played, another fun show. During That Would Be Something I was thinking that Hunter wrote some lyrics that even '94 Jerry couldn't forget - didn't realize it was a McCartney tune from "bowl of cherries". Oh - the second Samba - I really dug it, its a super solid Vince song (Hunter lyrics no less) - change my mind!! 1st night of Eugene was the only night show of the 3 Eugene shows. I missed it for work - goddang it - the only NW show I missed from '90 on. My friend got dropped in the eye - it had been awhile but he was like ah yes I remember this. It poured rain. He loved it. Maybe best show of the 3 in Eugene that year. Alas, no circulating SBD for that night.

Life long Blackhawks fan here. fun to see all the hockey talk. didn't really follow this season much cause my energy was necessarily elsewhere. all I can say is may the best team take the cup

recaptcha has been green lighting me as of late - just get the green check mark. what i saw during the weird times on this site literally had me not logging in.

Add me to the list, bought the first album on day of UK release, saw them at Hollywood Newcastle under Lyme (in the summer time, Mungo Jerrys breakout would you beleive, lol), and by the time 72 rolled around, had convinced a fair few friends to get on the bus with me, Dark Star night at Wembly, Bickershaw ( hi Simon!) and 3 Lyceum shows.
Also saw 2 of the 3 Ally Pally Wall of Sound shows on their next visit, but was very disapointed, something didnt click, they were demonstrably a lesser band in my opinion, I put it down to the coke, this is the moment my interest began to wane for a long while, I also hated Mars Hotel for the generic songs, Loose Lucy, US Blues. Look at the words and compare with anything off Workingmans...your milage may vary!

More info is coming soon my fellow grateful travelers!
To start things off , Dave’s Picks #39 has no filler
And the original release date of the Boxset was pushed back due to “ uncontrollable effects caused by the virus which effected production, timing and schedule on certain upcoming Musical products & GD product releases. The Boxset #9 #9 #9, The Grateful Dead has no control over certain areas,just like a lot of other Company/ Organizations ect. what we ,the Fans are all experiencing now as well. But I believe everyone is gonna be jumping up and down in pure unsound joy & Graditude !!! Very shortly the plane is coming to a landing ;)

***PS, the second disc alone from Dave’s picks # 5 will steal your face right off your head!

I was waiting patiently for news on upcoming Dead releases, and now we have it. You may not believe this, but……Dave’s 39 will have……NO BONUS MATERIAL!! As this is the case with 90% of the Dave’s releases, I was stunned.
And now finally, news on the box!! Wait for it……it’s delayed!! Holy shit, I just dookied my drawers. As always, we owe LoveMyGurrl a SUPER large debt of gratitude for digging this revelatory information out of the depths of silence.
I have a scoop of my own……tomorrow will be….. Wait for it…… Saturday!!

Enough of this delusional GARBAGE already.

But it’s a dry heat!
Was in Phoenix once, before cell phones, 115, needed to use pay phone, sneakers melting to the hot asphalt...

It’s a cool 104 degrees here at 5000’ in southwest New Mexico.
The hottest summer I ever spent was a winter in Phoenix.” I said that.

A big shout out to Bailey Quarters (Jan Smithers) too, who is still among us, thankfully!
What. A. Dish!!! It was a very funny show, but had it been filmed in Mandarin, I would have still watched it to see the lovely Ms Quarters!!

Box announcement and issues with website has to do with that purchase. If I am correct Rhino, controlled by Warner, now controlled by Discovery. They really need to use a white listing (websites with strong security and registered) instead of security by black listing (unsecure, dark web) sites that should be banned. That is all for now. More in a bit.

Loni Anderson was supposed to be the looker, but Jan Smithers had a certain attractiveness that mere mortal teen boys like me could aspire to get with.

Yeah. WKRP. The outro song is great.

Misheard Lyrics:
Back to the boys didda, I like to have you here now
Zam to the bar in a room on me, uh-huh
But, we're looking far and I'm, I'm happy here to hear now
I need a woman through it, in a woman up-a here, uh-huh
Original Lyrics:
Mad tooth bar chin-up, box zing outta her hair now
Still do the modern day whack-a-mole ditto-o-o
What's that? Good bartender, i'da hat-beer 'n' head out
I said I wouldn't do it if a poodle had a lid on

I wonder if that poodle was actually the Yellow Dog...

PF - Ms Quarters was definitely that sweet gal next door, whereas the Lonnie Anderson gal was the type that gave you the number of the local pizza joint for a phone number if you asked for a date.
A really funny show, great cast, I hadn’t thought of in years until hearing the unfortunate news about Frank Bonner. RIP, FB, you made us laugh!
