    "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.

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.

    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.

    Since we live the next town over from each other, i can see playing disk golf since it looks fun. I will have to psyche myself into hanging out since I am a very shy dude. Thanks for the invite. Beer and montecristo cigars and disk golf seem to go good together.

    More on 5-21-82...

    My first visit to the Greek for a weekend series of shows...it was a great great time...I was in line very early Friday morning and had a blast with friends old and new waiting in line...about 20 minutes before the gates opened a person from event security told me i would have to check in my backpack around the side of the venue...I told him I had been in line all day and didn't want to lose my place in line...he walked me through the gate to the side where I checked in my pack in a large Ryder truck, my check stub was like 00001...Since he had seen my ticket he let me go into the seating area as the gates opened and the mad dash began...I had about a three minute head start and made my way to the first step riser above the pit, dead center...I spread out my blanket and waited for friends to help me fill out the space I had grabbed...as the place filled and the energy of the crowd rose and rose I knew I was home...It was a short but oh so swell 2nd Set...for me the highlight was the sweet fluttering down from space into The Wheel, so fine...the whole weekend was a blast...the only other time I hit the Greek was when I drove an equipment truck for Los Lobos who did a Cinco de Mayo weekend show there along with some other fine East Bay groups...a friend laid tickets on the crew for a Jerry show that night in Berkeley so all and all a fine Cinco...another thing about the show on the 21st....as the crowd was filling up the Greek a gentleman walked by me and stopped...he looked back at me and walked over and introduced himself...he then asked if I had been at the UCSB '74 Wall of Sound show...I said yes and then he asked if I had been sitting stretched out on a foldable garden lounge chair...I laffed and said Yup that was me...he said he had kept looking over at me thinking Man that guy looks comfortable...I told him I had been very comfortable...we laffed again and he went on his way...the things that happen at a Dead show...

    Thanks Sixtus!

    I am really looking forward to these shows. I have the 6/24 Dark Star medley show, but the recording is a very bad audience recording. So bad I titled it "Bear Ain't There". That was a while back so I'm sure this will be a nice audio upgrade. And of course the 6/6 show is the one I'm looking for, thank you. I don't have 12/27 so this is going to be a real treat. Jimbo, I'm taking the Wayback machine to 1970. Hope you weren't planning to use it this weekend.

    re: 6/6/70; Attics Of A Year

    KeithFan indeed, this one has been on the radar; pretty sure the >Jam coming out of drums/Alligator made it onto a Sixtus' Picks from back in the day (it was a later Volume, a Late Discovery). It has a touch of that 'Darkness' jam that popped up a few times, toward the end. I went on a mad 1970 binge a few years back and uncovered a bunch of gems, previously unknown to me, the 6/6 show included.

    This Pirates World show is also one that comes to mind as some solid Seventy:
    https://archive.org/details/gd70-03-24.sbd.miller.32054.sbeok.flacf

    (BTW, I was initially intrigued by the Pirates World show, if for no other reason than it taking place at....Pirates World? I did some internet dumpster diving and found some fun facts along the way)

    Another unearthed was this one from later in June 1970 from the late electric show on 6/24; while an audience recording, I find it to be incredibly powerful, feeling like its from right off the balcony looking down. There is some ferocious playing here out of the gate (I mean a RIPPING Not Fade Away with a sickeningly subtle and utterly smooth transition into Easy Wind? C'mon) and also note the Attics intertwined with a protoplasmic Sugar Magnolia embedded within a Dark Star journey: https://archive.org/details/gd1970-06-24.late.aud.harlan.9330.sbefail.s…

    A final find was this (more Attics and lots other else):
    https://archive.org/details/gd70-12-27.sbd.miller.23530.sbeok.shnf

    1970 has some seriously good $hit.

    Be Well People!

    P.S. Oro yes FOUR! Indeed. A flying disc to the noggin is bad; hurty, some may say.
    Had the sign idea in my head (we indeed live at a dead end on a hilltop) and drew a picture of my vision for a friend who lives in Colorado and has what I think is a 3-D printer/saw type thingee. He digitally scanned/sawed the image onto 4 blocks then put them all together, painted it. Voila. It went in the ground yesterday!
    And He is The Man.

    6/6/70

    I was going through the Attics of My Life that I have, after being inspired by the 5/15/70 Fillmore East Road Trips. Not many. But there is a fine performance with great audio from the June 6, 1970 show, which was a Bonus Track on the American Beauty re-release several years ago. The audio is so good I thought, why not release this show? Anything from 1970 that starts with Morning Dew, ends with Uncle John's Band, and has Attics of My Life in the middle is a winner in my book. And considering the latest release we have from 1970 is 5/15 (due to Bear's incarceration), why not? Fill in extra space with food Bonus Tracks from the era. The setlist:

    Morning Dew, Me and My Uncle, Casey Jones, Dancing in the Street, Next Time You See Me, China Cat Sunflower, I Know You Rider, Good Lovin', Attics of My Life, Dire Wolf, Alligator, Turn on Your Love Light, Not Fade Away, Uncle John's Band

    And there's a good chance Dancin' features a Tighten Up.

    I'm going to dig this up on archive.org and hope the audio is nearly as good as the Attics official release. Anyone have the scoop on the show?

    I love the face-off line!

    Two jumper cables walk into a bar. One of them says “We’d like a couple of beers, please.”
    The bartender says “Okay, but don’t start anything.”

    It’s a long weekend north of the 49th this weekend (Victoria Day, or known better as “May 2-4 weekend”, as everyone grabs a 24 case of beer and heads to the country). Enjoy your weekend, all!

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.
