    "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.

    Condolences, and Drives

    Senior HF. That’s heavy, I think losing friends and pets can be as hard as family.
    It angers me extremely to think we could be near the end of this if people would of just gotten vaxed, now, I’m not sure this darkness is gonna give soon...

    Speaking of loses, long story short think both my drives are dead: OS and music...been too dam many failures, so wondering which format, and what brands y’all would both recommend and avoid etc
    I would of posted separately but this captcha BS! IS OUTTA CONTROL AND STUPID!

    Great data, which kinda establishes that we're premature in declaring the box announcement late. No doubt we perceive this box as "late" due to the early (and Dave made clear it was "early") announcement last year or year before (?) of the June '76 box.

    So, I'm WAY early in demanding info. That's certainly a break with tradition in which I'm always WAY late on everything, plus that proverbial dollar short.

    That Mike, thanks for your thoughts. Still grieving here, my buddy Tom used to spend an hour on the phone with me talking music every week or two for 20+ years. He was the world's greatest Roy Buchanan fan. It's not about me, though, it's about his wife and kids. Oh man.

    Wow Daverock, it’s £15 on Jimmy Page’s site (+£10 to ship to the U.S.) and $52 + $3 shipping on Amazon.
    Guess I’ll pass, saving those funds for the long-delayed 2020 second Box…..

    To Sixtus on the Anniversary. Great cherry poppin’ show fo sho!

    VGUY: the misses needs a rig like that only in tie dye Knights colors with their logo on the hood!
    Be safe, I’m with AJS wondering if any of the infected were vaxed? Our thoughts are with all those still suffering from this scourge.
    I sure hope this thing works cause of my work conditions (construction sites equal lots of young people and young Hispanics, both demographics with high unvaccinated populations)...the Mrs too, she’s a librarian and they do these summer programs where up to a hundred kids are present! None vaccinated!
    It’s deplorable that people who hide in offices or work elsewhere determine the fate of others, and for what?
    But I digress, sorry.

    Think I need to spin Downhill From Here tonight and feel some of that summer loving in the spring fall and winter that JG and Brent have going on!

    For Those Looking To Spend That Pent Up Box Set Money

    Just a snippet from the AllMusic review of Dave McMurray's forthcoming "Grateful Deadicated" (rated 4.5 out of 5 stars): "All emphasize the sometimes hidden but always attractive melodies in the Dead's tunes; he understands them as songs first. Grateful Deadication is as sophisticated as it is musical in presenting this complex and sometimes speculative music as welcoming, accessible, and danceable."
    While I await this one, I have the TTB "Layla" Redux discs that came in last night to review, among others. I am beginning to think any potential Dead box DL may have queued up should be called "Bigfoot", more myth than reality. The Pandemic has some serious reverbs on production, especially vinyl.
    On that note, my condolences HendrixFreak for the loss of your friend to this terrible damn disease, and likewise, best of health VGuy to your coworkers, and safety to all of you reading this.

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.
