    "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.

    Ithaca is indeed a very cool place.

    Based on the timing of your post, you have likely left for Buffalo. I would’ve given you some other places to check out. Feel free to send me a PM if you would like.

    It’s unfortunate that Canadaland is still closed. The falls are something to behold from that side. Also, Niagara on the Lake is a neat little town.

    And the Anchor Bar is overrated for wings. Duff’s is decent and is right on your way to the falls.

    Barton Hall, Ithaca Falls, and other watery adventures

    So found myself Truckin' up to Buffalo with the wife and her wonderful sister, her awesome husband, and my fantastic teenage niece. So far, since they arrived last Wednesday, we have taken in a trip to Newport, RI for some good food at a place called the Red Parrot we ate at a few months ago, and took a quick walk down to the sea at the Cliff Walk. Then drove back home outside Boston, slept, then off to Falmouth and a ferry to Martha's Vineyard. When we got there, we decided bikes in the heat and humidity would kill those of us well beyond the thought of in shape, and thus rented a Jeep. After lunch at a packed spot, where at one point a very soft acoustic guitar and bass began the familiar rhythm of Scarlet Begonias, then a soft female voice sang it. Hard to hear over the din of the restaurant, but unmistakably Scarlet. But food down our gullets, we proceeded to cover most of the island in several hours. (Several hours of this idiot foregoing sunscreen and the top in the Jeep. Though, at least I wore my hat to protect the bald pate.) We saw several lighthouses, but fog shrouded much else. Though some cliffs were visible, just nothing beyond 20 ft of the water or so, but the sun appeared in spots. We ferried back, and today we set out for Niagra Falls, and in the search for something to do on driving day, I suggested we stop for waterfalls in Ithaca and Barton Hall for a quick few photos.

    What a great decision! There is something really fantastic about Cornell and Ithaca. The college is situated on top of a large hill overlooking a valley carved by glaciers, and the massive Cayuga Lake behind it. Seeing it behind the lake on the way out was just magnificent, you could get a better idea of the grandeur of the architecture or Cornell. Barton Hall itself is a giant track and field brick barn. It looks like an acoustical nightmare, as Bob Weir himself said it was. But it sits neatly among these awe inspiring buildings on a campus that has produced incredible things in a variety of fields and done so for a long time. I think that partly has to do with the idyllic setting. If you ever have the chance to pass that way, do yourself a favor and go through campus and check it out. Peek in the window, and imagine the crew setting up for the show. Peer up at the scaffolding in the ceiling and think of the dying chords of Morning Dew reverberating their last on that Mother's Day evening... Right after that we went to the Ithaca Falls, which is right down the road, and behind the campus. Walking down a little gravel strewn path for a couple hundred yards towards an intensifying roar of water thundering down 156' falls gives you a sense of the power of a place like this. But tomorrow those falls shall be eclipsed by those at Niagra.

    Back on the road following our visit to the site of the mind control experiment, when it came my musical selection I chose Jack Straw from Cornell. I wanted Scarlet, but they would have balked at 12 min, so went with Jack at 6. As it played, I found I could picture them playing it there in a way I really couldn't before.

    So.....Mystery #2 Solved

    It bothered the heck out of me when I saw the Dark Star date was 10/12/68, because......where is Pigpen with his repetitive keyboard melody? (this is what had me guessing as late as 1970). Went to archive.org to look at the show and read "Notes: Pigpen was absent".

    The world is back to normal.

    Anniversary show. 7/18/82 Ventura

    39 years ago today, I was down in Ventura for the 2nd show of the weekend, it was the first year the Dead would play in Ventura. They brought back Crazy Fingers on this day , they hadn't played it in awhile. I'm sure there are enough good shows from Ventura to make a great box. Ventura, Greek, and Frost, not a single release yet, I tell ya, a lot of those shows seemed pretty good to me at the time.

    Thanks Guys

    Jim, SDUBBZ03, sounds like you guys concur on 10/12/68. Thank you also Mr. Ones DOC for your input. Even better that I can go through the 30 Days of Dead pick it up. It was one of those deals where I stumbled upon it and normally wouldn't have paid much mind to it, but I thought it was just really really extraordinary good. So then the hunt began, but I didn't have it on my phone on any of the official releases or the many soundboard dark stars I have uploaded to it. And of course I don't have 30 days of dead on my phone. That may change soon, because I also just recently found a much better recording of Bird Song from 9/10/72 on 30 Days of Dead.

    I ended up putting together a bunk bed set today and haven't had a chance to grab this elusive Dark Star, but I did listen to it a bunch of times on the YouTube video. It will be in my Jam playlist by sunset.

    I used to have software to do that kind of editing and crossfading. Made a couple of cool Pink Floyd mixes about 20 years ago when CD burners were all the rage. I'm looking for some kind of comparable software do that with now. I would love to meld together a mix like this again.

    I compared this to the 9/2/68 Dark Star from Betty Nelson’s Organic Raspberry Farm, based on Doc’s observations. It compares favorably, so I’ll say sometime between Sept.-Nov. of ‘68.

    I think the mystery dark star is from 30 DOD 2019. 10/12-13/68 would make a nice box either way. Late 89 sounds good.

I'll represent that... just short of 70 trips around the sun...catching up on the many posts with a few comments. No question that our "hosts" will wait until after the release of S&R, soon the box set announce circa July 1. It's all about the Ben Jammin's. More Pig, please.

After leaving DC area for school in Maine, pro hockey became a big deal. Not a rabid fan, have been to pro games as well as a few at Dartmouth, those Ivy guys will play hard and there is nothing, nothing like in person live hockey down on the ice.

Noted earlier, missed a few east coast shows before finally catching the GOGD in Baltimore 1973 for the first time, the Wolfman Jack show. Saw them a few months later at Watkins Glen. First "rock" show was Jimi at the Washington Hilton March 1968, had to be driven there, thanks dad.

Transitioning to celebrity, so much is chance... first big live music event was at the White House, when the Black Watch played there early November 1963... afterwards, this sixth grader had the chance to shake hands with JFK and Jackie before the unthinkable happened eleven days later.

Through a long episode as a working chef, met some top food dogs, including Paul Bocuse. In various restaurants, cooked for Ed Muskie, Phil Rizzuto, Peter Ueberroth but best of all, cause I met and asked him to sign a menu for me, Cab Calloway.

Most recent in person, backstage at the Kennedy Center June 2017 with Pat Metheny, Antonio Sanchez, Linda May Han On and Gwilym Simcock the night Pat was announced NEA Jazzmaster... bushed from the long tour, they had about thirty minutes before they had get on their bus that night to their final show in Cleveland.

Hanging with Martin Hayes after a small house concert in northern NH.

Last six
Bitches Brew: Miles
Gypsy Rumble: Stephane Wrembel Trio w/ David Grisman
Stratospheric Boogie: The flaming guitars of Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant (novelty item)
Borboletta: Santana
Turmoil & Tinfoil: Billy Strings
Northern Song: Steve Tibbetts

Any comments made previously, regarding audio issues with DaP 38 are tempered with the warts and all acceptance in delirious joyfulness that we have this music so well preserved for us. The Bonus Disc is tremendous.

Now where is that 69/72 box set announce??

I still have never listened to Gainesville...Since everyone raves about, I was hoping for a release. Since they really started releasing stuff, I waited for the release. Now I think I need to pop my cherry and go ahead and listen to it.

Just kidding of course. Really appreciate DMCVT and Dogon and Snafu chiming in for me or us. It really means a lot to me, and I know this padawan could learn a lot about the lifestyle from you guys.

Example: Just the little nugget from Dogon about Mungo Jerry and In the Summertime, had to go down a little rabbit hole of discovery. Isn't that what this all about, helping each other during the trying times. Of course I remember In the Summertime but I was just about to begin grade school when it came out.

Fortunately, I had a mom that played the radio in the car. So, as I have stated, I was born with some health issues which meant going to the doctors a lot as a child. The good that came out of it, was I came to consciousness very early. Therefore, I can remember even hearing Sgt. Peppers as a kid on the car radio. Hmmm, think that had any influence? So Dogon thanks for forth good material to chew on.

DMCVT - again just another great post on several of the streams of consciousness we have been discussing. Dogon and Snafu have given me just some perspective when I listen to shows. DMCVT the whole post is incredible. "I didn't realize it would be important 50 years later." Nice one! Snafu.

It still blows my mind just the things y'all saw, for example, DMCVT seeing Jimi I can only imagine. So that bears the question would you have rather seen Pig or Jimi? OK enough of that.

Maybe, if we can remember, we can make June the month of "Bring out your Dead" Heads from way back, month.

Again, thanks so much for posting, it means a lot to this head.

G

Hey Simon and Dogon - search youtube for Grateful Dead at Bickershaw there is some new video of Bickershaw. Simon, well new compared to when I sent you the little Bickershaw video I sent you the last time I searched.

Any way, It's Friday. Time to mix up the pitcher!

... this goes out to you! Peace be with you! 🙏😎
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah, woah
Pussycat, pussycat, I've got flowers
And lots of hours to spend with you
So go and powder your cute little pussycat nose
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat nose
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah, woah
Pussycat, pussycat, you're so thrilling
And I'm so willing to care for you
So go and make up your big little pussycat eyes
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat eyes
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah
What's new, pussycat? Woah, woah, woah
Pussycat, pussycat, you're delicious

I'll soon be kissing your sweet little pussycat lips
Pussycat, pussycat, I love you, yes, I do
You and your pussycat lips
You and your pussycat eyes
You and your pussycat nose

I usually like to read the posts since I don't have much interesting to say. I am here every day and once in a while somebody says something that makes me perk up. Hendrixfreak, you said 6/17/75 is a returned Betty Board. Is there a list somewhere? Thank you. I listen to DaP 38 almost every day. I think it's wonderful. Jerry and Bobby both have above normal nights. I can't think of a show where they sounded better together. They both have a great night.

Good call on the 5/3 Other One. Of all the E72 stuff, The Other One was the toughest for me to get on board with. The Space parts and meltdowns were appearing for just about the first time. I was much more used to the Cryptical Envelopment era, where they rocked harder and Spaced less....but man, once you get to appreciate what they're doing on those longer Spacier Other Ones. The first one to grab me from this tour was the Beat Club performance, and then Hundred Year Hall on 4/26. Great stuff. Wow wow wow wow wow. 4/11 from New Castle is also hot. And Part 2 from opening night at the Wembley swim club.

Well - this Road Trips Wall of Sound 6/18/74 is some serious shit. Certainly Keith's best Morning Dew.

At Hollywood, the audience liked Mungo Jerry so much that they were rescheduled for a second performance!
They were basically a jug band but Mother Mcrees they were not! Of course the song In the Summertime became an irritating ear worm that you could not escape that year,

Fleury definitely let his mind leave the building during that tying goal. But, Vegas outshot them almost 2-1, forced more giveaways on the Habs by far, and out hit them. Just an adjustment hear and there. They got smacked a bit, they’ll smarten up.

Keith fan - synchronicity at work-yesterday I listened to both the Other Ones from 5/3/72 and 6/18/74 too. Both fascinating deep space excursions. Amazing how this piece, among others, developed from 67-74 but also specifically from 72-74. In this period they seemed to move away from earlier psychedelic and primal high energy force fields to a more modern jazz/avant-garde approach. Increasingly so as the timespan developed.

Trainwrecked, after I posted that statement I went looking for a l*nk. Typical: talk first, find proof of statement later.

I clearly recall seeing 6-17-75 on a list of the returned tapes and getting really excited. Great, short show. My quick search the other day turned up a couple incomplete lists, and none had 6-17-75. So I 'm not certain where I saw the list that included 6-17-75, but the lists that pop up first in a G search have some interesting content. And of course many have been released in the past ~3 years.

To sum up: definitely saw 6-17-75 on a list of returned Bettys, no idea where I saw that. But I posted the l*nk in this forum over the past year.

Feel like a ... ROBOT, mucho tequila last night.

Edit: So, to "protect our data, TPTB are restricting specific words in our posts, rather than add a security filter to ensure that hackers don't invade. That strikes me as a** backward...

OMG, Bailey Q, fo sure, yeah, Lonnie who?
Loved Bailey, the look and the person!
Man, I love the memories you guys conjure up!
RIP Herb!
Another awesome underrated 70s show!

GAINSVILLE, don’t think about it, just do it!

DCVMT: nice to see ya, thanks for sharing!

Guessing from looking at the GD June bulletin, since it’s mostly 71, that perhaps the box will be 71?
If so, what 71?

No Links, lame! That’s half the fun here. Why is it every time I like something in life, some jackass has to wreck it?

STOKED for Shakedown stream and another cool show I’ve not heard!
Wonder if this is just a special deal, celebrating RH and his amazing gifts to us all, or will it be a regular thing again, or will it be tied to product some how? Dammit Dave, inquiring minds want, no, NEED to know lol...

Skipped the game last night, it was just to nice out and was digging tunes with the Mrs, sounds like I outta check out at least the end?

6/17/75: pretty sure I remember seeing that that show is in the vault, probably via a l*nk that someone here kindly posted, to enhance our knowledge and enjoyment of this band/music, that drives us to purchase more than we’ll ever actually need, so we should probably stop allowing that...? Mmmmmhhhhhhmmm?

Looks like they don't allow posting anymore, to bad . I never would have seen that cool list of all the guitars that Garcia owned over the years if it hadnt been posted by Keith fan, and all the other cool posts that have been on here, I'm gonna miss them. I wonder if they will ban the hookers and all the business posts that have nothing to do with the Dead.

How long there current distribution contract is. It was 10 years and renewed just a couple years back, I think. With changes, maybe renewed contract is void or has a time clause to make decisions after a major change. Weird thing, is our posts are part of their marketing arm...

Yeah I noticed that in the deadbase the other day. Did you see Sabbath? I was a huge Sabbath fan until I really got into the Dead, so around 83 Sabbath was gone, except for an occasional listen. Just dont listen to much stuff not associated with the Dead. I bet Sabbath 1970 was wild. Have you found tapes of that show?

I eat earworms for breakfast. Now surf or fight.

With two 71 shows coming out last year, and this here Skull and Roses anniversary coming out, I think a 71 box might be over egging the pudding somewhat.

I think the Shakedown Street on the 23rd with Jim Lauderdale is in celebration of the date of what would have been Robert Hunter’s 80th birthday. Arguably the second best lyricist ever. True anecdote. A few months ago I received the Stanley Foundation NRPS collection, and as I’m reading the booklet, there is a nice dedication to Mr Hunter, which struck me as pretty cool. While I am opening this package, for some unknown reason, I’m playing Hunter’s spoken word album, Sentinel. That gave me a chill, a good one. An album I rarely touch, but if you are in the mood, it’s pretty neat, and he was an amusing narrator of his own wonderful prose.

I agree with DaveRock - I think 1971 has been very well served lately, so likely not a candidate for a box set. I did see Dave’s most recent Twitter feed was a photo taken at the seashore…you don’t think he had his video camera, too…like filming a SeaSide chat, do you….

Oro - Ms Quarters was the loveliest lady to grace television late 1970s/early 1980s, which says a lot, because she was competing with the Angels, etc.
You didn’t miss A Great Game last night, kind of a comedy of errors from both sides. I expect next one to be much better caliber. Just hoping VGuy is keeping cool in those Mars-like temps there, and now with his team down 2-1…Maybe thoughts of Bailey Quarters will cheer him up!

Gary, there is always someone here who can answer your questions.

I saw Black Sabbath live at the Portsmouth Polytechnic Student's Union building on May 2, 1970. This was less than 3 months after their first album was released. Touted as a "heavy" band (the term "heavy metal" came much later) they were indeed heavy but most of all they were loud, really really loud. The Student's Union building was a barn of a place and it was shaking. People living miles away complained about the noise. As a result no more gigs were permitted there until the place had been soundproofed, something I don't think ever happened. The band had been well hyped by the music press so the place was packed. Everyone wanted to know what this sinister new band was all about. Ringing in the ears for days afterwards is what they were all about. I was suitably impressed as were most people present. A memorable evening. You had to be there!

Simon has already responded about Sabbath, but I never saw them, had one pal who had the first album,he bought it because it was on the new progressive record label Vertigo, but I was never really interested in heavy music.
The Deads set at Hollywood was used as the soundtrack to Rik Griffins exhibition at Londons Roundhouse organised by Alcock and Dick, who were the BBC cameramen dosed by the Deads crew at Hollywood, (which resulted in,shall we say, less than optimal footage for the planned BBC Dead special, but as noted the soundmen did their job and recorded the concert). Alcock and Dick became fans/converts and subsequently took over UK distribution of Dead/Mouse tees circa Skullf*ck/Ace/ NRPS/Rolling Thunder.
I was at the opening and closing of Riks show where I met him with John Platt( perhaps some UK Dead heads will recognise the name of the editor of the magazine Comstock Load) and came away with several signed exhibits at 5 quid a pop, Rik was seemingly skint and needed funds to return Stateside. I still have my signed copy of Gathering of the Tribes, Human Be In poster till this day.

If nobody ever mentioned a specific show again, you'd still hop on any GD release like a b*tch in heat.

I mean, here we all are, like vultures on a fencepost, just waiting wating waiting for the box set news to drop and wagging our tongues over two more DPs and some other release.

Daverock: "overegging the pudding"? This week's award for best use of language. Especially as this phrase was used to discuss 1971 GD releases! No wonder I lurk around here...

Gary - I was a bit late to the party, but the first time I saw Black Sabbath was in March 1973. It was like being hit by a cannonball. Amazing that the building was still standing by the end of the night. Their albums up to that point had been quite slow in tempo, so I was taken by surprise by how rock n' roll the gig ( a gig-not a show) was. It felt like my very soul was vibrating in tune. Some of it turned up on the live album, "Live at Last", which has been included in the Volume 4 Deluxe Edition. Not that I have it. But between 1973-1975 I couldn't get enough, and saw them as often as I could up to 75.
Then my tastes changed, as I discovered the Dead, Quicksilver et al. But I did see them again one last time in February 2017-an incredible night, during which they focussed almost exclusively on their first 4 albums. There is a great dvd/blu ray of the last night from that tour-2/4/2017 in Birmingham.
Very rehearsed, compared to The Dead. In 2017 even the solos sounded the same as their recorded counterparts from 45-47 years earlier !

I loved that expression also. Never heard that one,,, is it common in the UK?

Box set announcement? I think if we're getting one the announcement will be a month away. Next should be DaP 39 announcement I would think. It's scheduled for release 7/30 on my chart. I don't think we'll see two things come up at the same time. But what do I know.

Guesses on 39? (we know we're getting that!)

# 39 will actually be Oakland Coliseum, 12-26-81.

That was SO EASY!

Unless of course (hedging, naturally), it's time for grease, which would mean two back-to-back '69 shows on 3 packed discs.

Meanwhile, where's my '66-'68, five-disc "special box." (Special because they can't release that period on the DP series as each show is short and they don't have many in the vault. And too few to make a real 20 disc box.)

I'm "California Dreamin'"..............

Dennis - Oroborous - like a lot of what I say, I got it from somewhere else, without being aware of exactly where that somewhere else is.
I've just had a look online, and discovered that it is an English phrase, that first came into use in the mid 19th century. God, I'm older than I thought.

Mentioning the dentist reminds me of the Seastones from 6/23/74 that I heard earlier today - the aural equivalent of having a tooth out.

TPTB announce a Meet Up At the Movies that features 6/22/91. The DVD of that show comes in the box set that includes CDs of 6/22/91, 6/24-25/91, and 6/28/91.

And then DaP40 (skipping ahead) is four discs of the best stuff from 1968 that is lying about in bits and pieces. Dave gave us a surprise four-disc set to wrap things up last year, so maybe he'll do so again?

Weird.. certain words and keystrokes are restricted . So much for my kick off advertisement of my new Belarus limo Uber Service..

I think I am allergic to hockey. I've watched a few of these playoff games and they seem to be followed by getting to work a little late, feeling a little groggy and productivity post game day is off by 15%.

Is this normal?

50 years ago today…..

June 21, 1971
Chateau d’Herouville, Herouville, France

Speaking of cooking, the Dead bring some American musical cuisine to French soil…..

Set 1: Truckin'-Loser-Me And Bobby McGee-Next Time You See Me-Morning Dew-Me And My Uncle-Hard To Handle-China Cat Sunflower >I Know You Rider-Promised Land-Deal-Playing In The Band-Big Boss Man-Black Peter-Bertha

Set 2: Casey Jones-That's It For The Other One>Wharf Rat-Sugar Magnolia-Sing Me Back Home-Johnny B. Goode

Cleary one of the most unusual, interesting “venues” that hosted the Dead in 1971. Built in 1740, on the remains of an even earlier chateau. At one time, the residence of Chopin. Painted by Van Gogh. After a fire in 1969, a 16 track recording studio was built there. There is no “seating capacity”—the Dead’s show was outside, on the grounds of the chateau.

Bakersfield, Pigpen, country/Weir/western, rockers, soulful, jamming, everything the French could expect from les morts reconnaissants…………

High quality audio AND video exists of this show. Definitely worth a listen. And a look !!!

Profitez et soyez bien!

Rock on!!!

Doc
Poor France, thy fine climate, rich vineyards, and the wishes of the learned avail nothing; thou art a destitute beggar, and not the powerful friend thou wert represented to me…..

Hendrixfreak- a 5 disc 66-68 special would be great. But I would also prefer a one disc Dave's from 66-68 to a three disc one from.....fill in blank. It would be a pity if strict adherence to the three disc format ruled out some of the most ground breaking and spectacular shows they ever played.
