    "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.

    Nice guy celebs....

    ....Darren Waller, the tight end for the Raiders, came in to my work last week. Got a selfie with him. I asked him to go easy on my Dolphins when they meet this season. He said "I can't promise that. I have bills to pay you know."
    Seemed like a down to earth dude.
    edit....not a fan of the Raiders relocating here. Their fan base is toxic.

    I was on a flight from Pit to somewhere on the West Coast about 10 or more years ago. I had an aisle seat the second row in coach, behind the bulkhead and the first row where you could put luggage under your seat. The guy boarding with me looked remarkably like Franco Harris, hall of fame Pittsburgh Steeler and was seated on the aisle in same row across from me. Some woman in the bulkhead row, the next row up, put all her luggage (including her laptop bag) on the floor under her feet.. where you cannot put luggage. The plane filled up and during the checks.. they told her to stow it in the already crammed overheads or had to be checked. She had to check it all and threw a fit.. that her computer cannot be checked. Under-spoken and polite he told the flight attendant she could put her things under the seat in front of him. I'm 6'4" and he is almost as tall as me.. that tiny space to cram your legs and feet for a tall person on a cross country flight is treasured space. He gave it up and didn't complain a bit on a cross country flight.

    Super stand-up guy. I couldn't believe how nice he was and sitting in coach with us mortals. Sat next to Dan Marino once too.. I was upgraded that day, he was quiet but also seemingly very nice. ..like you can ascertain such things in brief and chance encounters..

    Anyway.. that's all I got. Back to your regularly scheduled Dark Star>China Cat>The Eleven.

    6/10/76 Spinning this AM from the mighty June '76 Box; incidentally it's also my Nameday so it's a special show in my heart. I was 3 when they did this one. Still feel only slightly beyond that age to this day ha ha. Well maybe more than slightly but not much more.

    Be Well People!

    Similar story.

    Almost 20 years ago, Bobby Hull was doing an autograph signing to raise money for the local hockey team. He had to be about the same age as when you met Gordie Howe. I took my one year old daughter to get a picture. I was surprised at how few people were there. We got to speak for about 5 minutes. I shook has hand and it felt like every bone was going to snap. A crushing grip. I don't think most people understand just how big and strong these guys are.

    Vguy, as an incentive to you, if your GKs pull it off, I'll change my photo to a picture of my mom with Alex Tuch. It will give you a better idea of just how big he is.

    Congrats to the Isles. I'm a huge fan of Barry Trotz as a coach. Well done boys.

    The Isles were fired up, and after that third Islander goal, all the wind went out of the B’s sails. Hey Bruins fans, you are great sports to take all the ribbing so well. Now the AVs & the Knights have a thing or two to settle!

    VGuy - Absolutely I will look you up if down that way, thanks. I’d love to see a game with THAT crowd at T-Mobile! Amp is definitely turned to 11 there! One city I could not get tix when I was there was Detroit. I’d go for employee courses, but never could score tix. HockeyTown, right?

    Quick Gordie Howe story. He is doing an autograph session at one of the large department stores in Toronto, maybe a book signing. I’m in the area, I see the sign outside the store. Yea, I’ll make time for Mr Hockey, the guy Gretzky idolized. Stand in line, Howe is mid to late 60s at this time, looks like he is wearing his kid’s suit, all seams are popping at his arms & shoulders. Now, put your right index finger in the palm of your left hand. That’s what it looked like when I shook this guy’s catcher’s mitt of a hand. My name is easy to spell, but when it came time for the autograph, I wanted no trouble with Howe, so I gave him my friend’s name, a really common name. My friend still has the autograph. Howe in his prime would have been a scary sight to come barreling down on you in that Red Wing jersey, but a heck of a good man, and a legend. I’ve met lots of famous people because I’m a whore for that stuff, but he is definitely in the Top 3.

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.
