    You can listen to Grateful Dead records over and over again and never understand the attraction they have for certain people until you attend one of their concerts. Sometime during the Dead's usual five-hour set, it will all click: Jerry Garcia's Indian bead string of notes on the guitar, the ozone ooze of the vocal harmonies, the shifting, shuffling rhythm of bassist Phil Lesh and drummer Bill Kreutzmann, and the distant echo of the oldest of American folk music. - Columbia Flier

    "Certain people" will know that we're coming in hot with one that's got all these things and more, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77. Yes, there's still plenty of spectacular May '77 to go around. Nearly chosen for Dave's Picks Vol. 1, 5/26/77 delivers three-fold. There's one count for the energy - all the precision of the Spring tour conjuring up the raw power of the Fall tour that was to come. There's another for the setlist which featured beloved songs from WORKINGMAN'S DEAD and soon-to-be favorites from the freshly recorded TERRAPIN STATION. And a third for its element of surprise (or shall we say surprises) from an astonishingly peak 15-minute "Sugaree" to new delights ("Sunrise," "Passenger," "Jack-A-Roe') to a rare first-set finale of "Bertha" to the second set's "Terrapin>Estimated>Eyes," traveling leaps and bounds towards the improvisational journey that is a nearly 17-minute "Not Fade Away." 

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 41: BALTIMORE CIVIC CENTER, BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, 5/26/77 was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Now you tell me..

    What am I supposed to do, pull over and hope I don't see any cops for the next 12 hours? Besides, posting while driving is much more dangerous, it's a good thing I'm tripping or I don't think I could have pulled this off right now.

    Cosmic Yawns.. still cracks me up. How long until that phrase appears in the Urban Dictionary? I have learned more reading posts here than many things they teach in college. (before anyone gets any ideas, leave my alma mater alone..)

    It's quite possible, if I could go back in time and attend one show while dosed.. it would be 11/8/69 Fillmore Auditorium, Dicks Picks 16. Or the FW 69 entire run. Shows I wish I dosed at. Time to fire up the John Deere.

    just to clarify

    Daverock, I never advocated driving under the influence, I just knew a guy who could drive really well dosed. Got to concur with others here that in my experience, shrooms are the way to go. I too, get those yawns, eyes start to water as you yawn away, a sure sign something is about to happen. Living in Florida all thru the 90's from May to Sep. sometimes Oct. we would be in the fields, every weekend. I enjoyed picking almost as much as consuming, well, almost. Been out of the loop for almost 20 yrs now, 2004 was the last time and 1999 was the last time with A. Miss those days but nowdays would have to be home, nice chill, with Jerry G and Gang or .... insert favorite trip music.

    EDIT: by “eat anything” I meant that no matter how the band played they thought it was the goat…
    The band used to shit talk the fans: “they’ll eat anything”
    I think monsieur Freak meant like eat as in literally to consume. In which case, I get the impression he’d excel at the latter, but not the former ; )

    PT: Yaasss, not to advocate, but I know a guy like that. Knew a few who could drive after tripping ok, but this guy excelled at it!

    Silly rabbit, yawn lol

    Trips are for kids lol. Wasn’t that a t-shirt BITD?

    Best place to trip was in the front row of GA Dead shows!
    Like the dude in the Winterland movie.
    Some of the best experiences of my life. Being that close, if your coherent and really paying attention, it’s like your in the band. Being a musician, you could catch them making little mistakes etc, and throwing things back and forth, and they have this whole other level of communication going on, much like anyone who works in an intimate, intense group setting. So they could tell if you were hip to what was actually going on and if so, they’d include you. Like say Jerry missed a solo, he’d look to see who was watching, who caught it, and if you did, and he knew you did, it was great fun.
    The best was busting Bobbies balls all the time. We’d pester him to play the good shit in stead of endless repeated lame stuff. Usually stuff he wasn’t currently doing. He’d get kinda miffed, but Phil would laugh his ass off and egg us on, great fun! Billy too, but when he was playing he usually didn’t make a lot of eye contact, which if you’ve ever watched him up close you know he’s like a possessed person with his eyes all rolling in his head in another place, Bob gets like that too. etc. Kieth didn’t look around much. Brent seemed surprised/happy that anyone paid that kind of attention to him lol. Never got close to Vince?
    Mickey liked to show off. If he knew you were watching, he’d do some extra rolls or something special to see if you caught it, he’d test ya, hell they all would. I’m sure it was more fun for them to have folks close by that actually had an idea what was actually happening and not just some over intoxicated noncritical clueless young fans who would eat anything as they’d say. Think screaming girls at Beatles concerts…probably would get pretty old.
    But for the initiated, with everything dialed in just right, there was nothing else like it!

    TRIP TIPS: Tolerance and familiarity, practice is the key. Just like with weed. When I was a professional and ate veggies all the time, id do all kinds of stuff, I’d go have a quick bite with the folks before things came on full blast. I didn’t like driving, but I’d be the one to go in the store at 3am and stock up on beer etc, because I was in practice, I did it all the time. Now I’d probably be scared to leave the house lol.
    So like anything, if your comfortable and used to it, it’s easier etc, that and I agree that knowing what/how much etc is crucial to having a good experience. This is true with ANYTHING. Remember, if your going to be dumb, ya better be tough, and having an overly intense or bad trip for 12-20 hours ain’t fun!
    Oh, and keep busy. How many times have you been really high but because your playing music, or skiing, something involved that your into or whatever, and your all good until you stop, then your like “holy crap am I fucking high” lol. Playing music, especially live was like this. As long as you were playing, you were good! One time we were doing A and crank. During rehearsal, while playing, I was fine, but as soon as we’d take a break, lol, wooooeeee, shit was intense! So don’t get hung up. Keep playing lol.

    The few less than stellar trips I had were on Acid I wasn’t familiar with, or, occasionally, because of cumulative effect of too much for too long etc. oh, and yes HF, gotta watch that shroom powder in the bottom of the bag! LOL, whole long story about how I lost my shit in Hershey cause of the bottom of the bag shroom dust! (didn’t actually loose my shit, did need to lay down in the mud for a bit, but saw a home made shirt there that had that on it and always wished I had one lol. “I lost my shit in Hershey lol)
    BITD Did plenty of A, but never liked big doses. Shrooms on the other hand, I was a warrior! Built up a nice tolerance BITD so could do strong doses and we did em often.
    Nowadays, no desire to do A, well, micro thing could be interesting?
    Veggies I’ve thought of retrying, just afraid I might have some other underlying unknown health concerns that they would exasperate? BP, heart etc?
    Also don’t really have anybody to trip with, and the other half has never used anything more than drink, so not sure I’d want to go alone with just her around in case shit got weird? She’s a bit of a worrier so might get too worried and put too much weird energy out? Wouldn’t be good time for either of us.
    Someday I’ll find the right situation. X, I have no desire to revisit. It was fun, but like A, I always felt like “this shit is really no good for me”. Never felt that way with the produce.

    Sixtus - your account chimes very well with my experiences. I started doing voluntary work in 1987, the year I re-discovered mushrooms, and I did both until 1993. Its very hard to put, credibly, into words, but I felt very strongly that there was no difference between the people as I was trying to help and myself. That we were all different versions of each other. This wasn't an idea, or a theory, it was felt experience. Something that had always been there but which I had never noticed before. It influenced how I worked with people then and in the job I subsequently got. Meditation also became part of my life around then, and for me that was also part of how things unfolded. It never occurred to me to do this until a chance encounter with someone who did. That was another incredible surprise doing that -very different from what I thought it was. But that's not relevant for on here.
    Somebody told me yesterday that Putin is addicted to steroids. I have no idea if this is true...but it figures.

    the Yawning

    ...I too experience these 'cosmic yawns' (awesome label BTW, HF) pretty much every time on shrooms (including last Thursday for the Phish opener in Mexico!).

    I had looked into this a little while back out of curiosity, noting the frequency of occurrence on my end.
    Turns out they don't know *exactly* why it happens, but I did find this excerpt to throw some light on the topic:

    "It’s also important to know from a physiological standpoint why magic mushrooms cause yawning in some people. What it comes down to is formulations containing precise amounts of certain compounds. Studying and understanding all of the compounds found in magic mushrooms and how they work together may result in formulations that have different properties (and therefore different effects) than pure psilocybin or magic mushrooms."

    A deeper study indicates it has to do with affinity for the receptor that initiates a yawn, so it appears to be dependent very much upon the actual physical construction and binding of the various molecules within each individual.

    A very interesting topic overall, to be sure. And I agree that the takeaways from these experiences (especially the early ones back in college times) are best digested from a few steps back to try to understand how the things I experienced impacted me and my worldview - which they did in numerous, profoundly positive ways. The very first time after I did psychedelics (shrooms) back in my freshman year of college, I recall in the midst, as well as afterwards, the discussion being "If everyone in the world did shrooms all at the same time, there would forever be world peace." It was that monumental discovery that everything, all of us, all of it - is all connected and those innate feelings of "looking out for humanity" become embedded (or perhaps brought back to the forefront after being subconsciously suppressed). These realizations then have lingered with me my entire life.

    It seems that World Dosing at this point might be a reasonable idea to get everyone on the same page and back to looking out for each other.

    Be Well People.

The last Dead show I listened to was the Fillmore Acid Test from 1/8/66. And watched, too-I got it on a dvd-r of it a few years ago called "Can You Pass The Acid Test?" It's a fascinating historical document-and features complete, or almost complete versions of The Dead playing "King Bee", "Caution" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Pretty good sound quality and picture - taking into account the fact that it was recorded and filmed by people tripping their brains out 56 years ago. Bit of conflict between The Dead - well, Pigpen - and the Pranksters. He is clearly losing patience with their shenanigans.

Have you tried emailing DL?
I don’t have his address but I know some folks on here do.
He might not be able to tell you if/when that would get released, but he could perhaps inform you as to the status of the tapes for that show. Like: “sorry dude, no tapes for that one” so at least you’d know that.
Just a thought, hate to see how much it’s driving you nuts ; )

Just returned from sunny SoCal and four days at the Festival in Ventura fairgrounds. What fun we had! The entire four days were streamed for free on Relix youtube. I hope some of you dug the stream of DSO Saturday night headliners (two sets) and Phil & F Sunday headliners. The stream is still up. DSO performed the entire Empire Pool 5/8/72 with an awesome second set DS>Sugur Mag> Caution! Caution is pretty rare these days, a really good one. I swear, when Phil came on, it transformed the entire crowd. They were all up and shakin' it.

Another highlight was Thursday's acoustic performance by RECKONING, featuring Rob Eaton, John Kadlecik, Rob Barraco & Skip Vangelas.

One lowlight was a long delayed (technical issues) performance by Oteil and Friends. Took them at least 45 minutes to come on, and then they played a really short set, with sound issues.

Many moments over the four days sent shivers down my back, as these were my first outdoor shows in 2 years!

Ha.. post of the week, "Surely a missed opportunity."

I believe my source is correct on the 9-19-72 show missing the first reel. The odds of it showing up in the OSF mystery pile are at least a rational hope, in that Owsley recorded the shows just before and after it. (Maybe entire fall '72 tour?)

Not really going nuts, just yelling into the void, hoping serendipity calls back...

Roosevelt Stadium in September 1972. What a good way to start Hendrixfreak. You definitely were at some great shows. I got my start at 15 as well. In 1986 at the Metrodome in Minneapolis. Dylan, the Dead and Petty. I can guarantee you nobody will ever be clamoring for this show to be released.

First I got inundated with WD, AB and S&R for a year, then my older brother included me on a ride to that fateful 9-19-72 show.

Get this: after about 3 hours of the GD blasting away, I felt like they'd done their job, delivered a great show and ... okay, time to wrap it up, this kid's getting tired (was not tripping, but had some hash). Thanks boys, great show, etc.

Well, the band went on for another hour! What I'd give to experience that very show NOW!

P.S. Always sorry I missed Petty in concert. Never turned down a ticket, just didn't seek him out. My loss.

Great cover there, those cables under the ship, electricity under wall water? Dangerous! Interesting though all to brief piece Space Guitars by Mark Kaufman on Mashable, mentions of Jimi and Jerry and esp Buddy Holly (check out those shoes) who first broke the Strat wide open. Nice to know there's a chunk of Jimi's pyromania from Monterey at the Met!

I'm not sure I would have liked the Dead live, had I seen them in 1972, when I was also 15. The bands I saw and liked then were a world away, much heavier, more dramatic.. much shorter shows, too ! I suppose the bands I liked mirrored the time, place and state of mind that I found myself in. But it was only a temporary phase - by 19 I had expanded my horizons, and the Dead sound tracked that. On record, obviously. But it never really struck me as teenage music, in quite the same way as Hawkwind, Black Sabbath or David Bowie - for example, did.

Obscura - Omnivium

I have a paper copy of GD Almanac, Winter 2004.
On page 10 is the back catalog of CD’s.

Dick’s Picks 1-32 were available:
1 CD $13
2 CD’s $18
3 CD’s $21
4 CD’s $25
6 CD’s $33

Assuming that those prices stayed the same for DP 33-36, the total cost for DP 1-36 new factory sealed would have been $778 for 112 CD’s.

Terrapin Limited was $39.50 for 3 CD’s.
Dozin’ At The Nick was $23 for 3 CD’s.
Closing of Winterland $27 for 4 CD’s, $29.95 for 2 DVD’s.
Downhill From Here $30 for 1 DVD.

on those random numbers, also consider that not all that long ago (but more than a few years), there were periodic sales on dead.net, often around July 4th and a couple other dates like Thanksgiving, significant discounts were available, free shipping, sometimes on almost every bit of music/video in catalog. Swag was rare. As well, one could find almost anything on the secondary market at very reasonable cost.

....Twilight was a treasure.
Happy Easter and Passover everyone!
I favor the '89 show from that box. Grate stuff.
Speaking of dead.net sales, I recall scoring Dicks 26-30 for under a hundred bucks.
I literally stole them.
The stamp cover series.
Now, dead.net puts out overpriced trash 80% of the time. Sorry, not sorry.
I do enjoy the glasses though.
A 1989 box would be just fine. That was my most prevalent year. Sign me up. Include Cal Expo please.
It's got a Playin' -> Rider. And a second set Cumberland.

Yes indeedy...Cumberland was out of Crazy Fingers and the Playin' > Know You Rider was a mind boggler...my friend Bob and I went...we drove from the Canyon to the Phoenix airport after he got off after his evening shift as a line cook at the El Tovar Hotel...we had a 6:30 AM flight to Oakland where a friend of mine was flying in from LA...we grabbed a rental (a brand spankin' new Cadillac) for the drive to Sacramento...we almost didn't make it though as a an accident on the interstate blocked traffic for quite awhile...we pulled into the airport and made it to the plane with a few minutes to spare...we finally relaxed and as the plane leveled out after take off, the flight attendants started rolling down the aisle with the beverage carts...of course everyone was getting OJ, coffee and tea but I asked for a shot of cognac...the young lady just gave a double take and I explained we had been stuck on the freeway, nearly missed the plane and we were on our way to three Grateful Dead shows for the weekend...she smiled, looked around and said "in that case you might need a double and poured me a nice glass worth....In Oakland I had to sit for a bit before going to the rental agency so I didn't appear too loopy...one issue with the weekend...we were in a Red Roof Inn full of dead heads and security banged on our door saying one of the neighboring guests had called to complain about the pot smell...Jeezus lady your entire building is fulla freaks! Now I have to go dig out the drive those shows are on!

No reason to hold off on the announcement considering that pictures of DaP 42 have been released on other websites, and that you can already place an order for DaP 42 on eBay.

Had to search for it, didn't see any ebay results, but didn't search with ebay in the googles question machine, but the website that did have a pic showed probably my favorite cover of the series. Wow. Few titles on display in the artwork at first glance, can't wait to get my eyes and ears on it in person, plus hope the Bonus cover is just as nice. Really looking forward to this release.

Which reminds me, Dave's 1 vinyl should be rolling in soon (thankfully that was paid for months ago), and I should be heading out this weekend to plunk down another 150 on 4/8/72 on vinyl, and they want another 600 with tax and shipping for four more Europe '72 shows. May have to pass on the Lyceum box, but we'll also see how long it sits there. God save me from visiting deadnet on a day when I'm surprisingly flush, though...

Not quite sure what I'm going to play this on yet.

Bonus Disc show coming soon.....this should kick some ass. Kinda wish I hadn't listened to the sound board as much as I did, but as I told the judge after a night of debauchery - your honor, I just couldn't help myself. Heh, talk about securing mandatory rehab.

I'm ahead of schedule on the E72 joy ride. I really like the Dead Beat Club version of The Other One. Top notch.

Sitting courtside under one of the baskets at Warriors/Nuggets game tonight

Alas, poor Alvar I know him well. I was attempting to say if I were to be comfortably willing to drop 600 bucks, then I kinda hope I wouldn't visit deadnet that day, or that it would be sold out. Not really hoping that, but 4 shows for 600 is a helluva lot more to answer to the wife about than 30 Trips at 700. Especially given this would be 4 shows in a row, and I'm getting 4/8/72 to pair with last year's 5/3/72, which I listened to straight through last year upon getting home. Fantastic sound on vinyl. I wish Uncle Sam were letting me get some more European vinyl, not great timing. Especially with my own first brief trip to Europe (Ireland) 2 weeks ago. We'll see which way the winds blow my own ship of fools. Really looking forward to Dave's 42. Not sure it will be the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, but hopefully it's nearly that.

I've started lagging behind with vinyl a bit. I was going to get Dicks Picks 19 when it became available on Amazon UK, but now it is, I'm having second thoughts. It's cost is the equivalent of $316 ! Quite a lot for a show I already have, and which features music I am very familiar with.
I also prefer vinyl to other formats for listening to The Dead, as someone else ( I forget who-apologies) pointed out on here the other day. But I'm not sure I prefer it THAT much!

On the last episode of Billions, “Cold Storage”, they play Deal from Garcia version at the end of the show, used artistically nicely. That’s 2 episodes now with significant GD references. Obviously someone’s a DH : )

I wish we knew what was on the bonus disc?
Guess we’ll have to wait until official release day…

From my cassette/Internet Archive digitization project:
GOGD Red Rocks 9/8/83
GOGD Watsonville 9/25/83 - a great outdoor show with an awesome China Rider.
Digitizing for a friend:
Fela and his 35 piece afro-beat orchestra, Berkeley Community Theater 11/14/86

GOGD St Louis 10/29/73 - Powerful Eyes of the World into China Doll
The Byrds - The Notorious Bird Brothers - a psychedelic masterpiece

I'm reading Chris Hillman's autobiography " Time Between" which inspired me to provide a Byrds music background. It's pretty good, and it's interesting to read his description of working and living with Gram Parson as they teamed up as the Burrito Brothers.

No RSD for me. Can't do the 65 mile drive tomorrow to Triple Play Records Grand Junction, CO.
What Dead will be offered?
Thanks and cheers!

Wembley 4/8/72 is the Dead one coming out. I know it's not in the spirit of the day, but I have always managed to get RSD releases online. Still from an independent record shop, but without having to leave the luxury of my own home.

But will head down to the local shop tomorrow after they open, they usually get a couple of copies. If there is one left for me grate, if not, not a problem, I already have it on CD.

Currently working my way through 4-24-72 Dark Star.

Super impressed with the sound you pulled out of the Seattle Center. Listening to it now.

Researching my older sister's first (and only maybe) show as a surprise for her. She was 17 and tripping from the story I remember. We called the place Elitch Gardens by the name of the amusement park it was when the music outdoor garden part wasn't used so much anymore. Wasn't very big as I recall. Deadbase list this as two shows but I'm finding reviews of it as one show with a break in the tape at Man's World. Thought it unusual to have an acoustic/elec. set that ends in Drums on the first night and the second night starts with Dark Star?!? I could see it if they got rained out or something. Looks primal to me from the setlist(s). Any lore on this I can tell her? Thanks and cheers
Edit: I was totally wrong on the location of the venue. Nothing to do with Elitch Gardens at all but a "Fillmore" on Clakson St. that started doing rock concerts in Spring 1970. This was maybe only the second show at that renamed refurbished venue. John Hammond opened and according to a newspaper article (Colo. Spgs. paper?) he was boring. But the reviewer had very high praise for this show. Also appears that there was only one night and it was 4/25/70.
