    "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.

    Oy, the concert scene...

    So, Nappy, I had tics to the 2020 RR shows with TTB, but of course that evaporated. I didn't want some promoter owning my ticket money so I immediately got a refund -- future uncertain.

    Well, these days, it looks like live music is going the way of pro sports, in that the standard ticket procedure has been hijacked by middlemen. Most of the tics for 2021 and 2022 at RR indeed are sold, but available from mega-scalpers for way too much money. It's a rotten turn of events that will shut out the longtime (read: getting ancient) fans such as myself. I've already acknowledged to myself that I've seen my share of high dollar shows, meaning I paid $150 to see Derek and Clapton, Clapton and Winwood, that sort of thing. Kicked myself for not seeing McCartney for $150 in Denver (10 years ago). Well, these days, I'm seeing local bands and friends play outside on patios and such. I have a $50 ticket to see Los Lobos in Boulder in March 2022! I had tics to see them March 14, 2020, at the Boulder Theater, but that (rightly) got canceled.

    I'm not ready to retire from semi-large rock 'n roll events, but they seem out of reach anymore, financially. And, as noted on this forum many times, the kids just talk and talk and then use their cell phones to show everyone they were at the hip event, even though they're not listening. So, life takes a turn.

    There's a crazy strange coincidence you're now involved with icecrmcnkd. I just read your post about that China Rider from 6/21/71. I just so happened to listen to it for the first time since it came out on The Long Strange Trip CD the same day you posted your comment. I mean that is some rare shit.

    It’s on vinyl with the “Long Strange Trip” Amazon bonus vinyl release.

    Listening to it now.

    So, we know that at least that part of the show is in the vault.

    I understand them at Red Rocks and that they have pockets of love and pockets of indifference. Thing is where there was indifference, more people are learning. This show was a 3,000 capacity due to virus. It was a sellout, but there is no way we will know till next time what could have been. When I saw them at this same facility in 2015, there wasn't but around 1,100 or so. That was the concert hall portion. By the time they come back I expect it will be sellout at arena, or maybe the new amphitheater they are building here.

    Yeah and I loved the Allmans in the different iterations I saw. of course, no Duane. One great one was a weird one. Warren Haynes and Jimmy Herring tearing it up, just after Dickey moved on. I think this latter version was incredible. Still Warren, Betts, and Allen Woody were awesome also. Then one night where Derek was sick so it was Warren, Jack Pearson, O'teil.

    In 2015, I took my lunch break and went to the concert hall. Staff let me go into the hall. They were doing sound check of the system/hall, but with no players. It was all recorded music, so I wondered if it was the concert from the time before. I talked to the PA guys for a few minutes. Then spent about 30 minutes talking to Derek's father. He is a great guy. He was getting merch stuff all ready. Bought an autographed poster from him for $35. Dang, still havent put that in a frame yet. Unsigned poster that night went for 40, and signed ones went for $75.

    What Gary said...

    Dooood, around here, the word on Tedeschi-Trucks has long been out and they pack Red Rocks like a sardine tin. That is far and away my favorite current touring band and has been for years -- with many close runner-ups, such as Los Lobos. I typically catch both RR shows each summer.

    Years ago -- maybe 8-10 -- we saw them in an auditorium at Colorado College in Colo Springs with maybe 600-800 people max. I used to see Derek and his band at The Gothic Theater, which holds 1,100 and you could walk up to the lip of the stage with your drink and watch Derek all night long. Then, of course, there was a decade of ABB shows with Derek and Warren at the helm with our beloved Gregg Allman roaring the blues.

    Stoked to hear the live Layla set by the T-T Band.

Early subscribers also get a copy of Brent’s studio album which was recorded by recording over the Fall 1980 reels.

Remember when early subscribers to the GD Movie DVD release got a piece of film from one of the film reels that went to theaters?

Early subscribers to the 2022 Brent studio outtakes Box will get a piece of the tape from the Fall 1980 reels that were forever ruined……

I don't want to miss this once in a lifetime offering.

They would be wise to follow-up with a mini holiday box of all the Little Stars ever played. The Bob Star Christmas Box with a Bob Star holiday ornament for the top of the tree. A good follow-up to the garden gnome theme. The ornament would be a high quality painted porcelain miniature replica of the 80's bobby from the short shorts up. A must have for the holidays.
