One more Saturday night at Winterland! Yes, we're back to home base for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 42, the complete show from Winterland, San Francisco, 2/23/74. The one that featured the earliest amalgamation of what would soon become the Wall of Sound, the one that is so "loud, clear, and defined," it's been ripe for release for quite some time and we're glad it's finally getting its due.

First set or second, there are no wrong answers here. From the unique show opener of Chuck Berry's "Around And Around" and an incredible "Here Comes Sunshine" that would then disappear for 18 years, to a medley of WAKE OF THE FLOOD tracks - "Row Jimmy," "Weather Report Suite," and "Stella Blue" - cementing their status in the canon and an unstoppable hour through the classic 1973-1974 Dead that is “He’s Gone”>“Truckin’”>“Drums”>“The Other One”>“Eyes Of The World,” it's all exceptionally hot.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 42: WINTERLAND, SAN FRANCISCO, 2/23/74 was recorded by Kidd Candelario and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

Herbie, Jerry & Merle

Herbie Hancock is about the only one of the artists on your list that I have already, Oro. I have Maiden Voyage, Empyrean Isles, Head Hunters, Sextant, Thrust, and Man Child. I find all to be enjoyable.

1973-1974 Jerry and Merle is a sweet spot, lots of soul and jazz influences showing up in their stuff from that time, those Keystone Encores box set shows in particular are phenomenal. And an absolute highlight of the Merle and Jerry Collaborations would be Merle Saunders and Friends CD Fire Up +, that disc is on fire from start to finish, incorporating tunes that are straight soul like Lonely Avenue and Expressway to Your Heart, other stuff that is more jazzy like Save Mother Earth and Man Child, and some funky stuff like My Problems Got Problems and the phenomenal Welcome to the Basement. Merle Saunders, Jerry Garcia, Tom Fogerty, John Kahn and Bill Vitt tear it up. An album well worth tracking down if you don't have it already, just peak Jerry and Merle. CD was Released in 1992 and is includes most of the songs from the 1970s albums Fire Up and Heavy Turbulence, I think.

Another gem is Hooteroll?, a jazz fusion masterpiece from Jerry Garcia and Howard Wales. That is a great album, great to listen to from start to finish, cohesive and gorgeous music.

I think it was something in the air, 'cause there were just a lot of musical styles and genres being mixed together or teased apart into something new during that period from the late '60s to the mid-'70s. Funk flowing out of soul, jazz fusion explorations by a bunch of artists, the emergence of electronica with stuff like I Feel Love, lots of cool stuff all happening in a relatively short fertile time. Musical forms are constantly shifting, blending, and distilling new stuff through time, but that late '60s to mid '70s period seems like a particularly fertile time, especially for the mixing of jazz, soul, funk, blues, and rock and roll into new forms combining elements of each and taking them in new directions.

FTK, Soul Jazz

VGUY, that should be awesome. I read about it in Bass Player magazine. Interviews with both Les Claypool and Geddy Lee. They asked Geddy what he thought of Les trying to do this and Geddy teasingly said he was nuts!
Hopefully they’ll be a big brown beaver sighting?

CHARLIE: interesting how you heard of SJ. Even more so how many of us come to certain music, fascinating really.
I heard if it after reading an article by Michael Chabon in Rolling Stone about his at the time new book Telegraph Ave (which I liked), but in this article he gets into this Soul Jazz that I’d never heard of, and I’ve been into lots of Jazz fir quite some time. It’s hard to pinpoint and like many styles or genres it casts a wide range: from syrupy string laden Mizel brothers productions all the way to more standard Jazz played by more recognizable names. The sweet spot to me is very much like what Merl and Jerry do on say 9/1/74, or the recent GarciaLive Vol 18, or on Fire Up and Heavy Turbulence etc. I like the oft used description of “Jazz with a backbeat”.
I have maybe 2-3 dozen albums but would say these are good ones to start with:
Donald Byrd: Black Bird
Charles Earland: Black Talk and Leaving this Planet with Freddie Hubbard and Joe Henderson
Idris Muhammad: Power of Soul (title track is awesome Hendrix cover), and a (2 for 1) of Black Rhythm Revolution, and Peace & Rhythm.
Deodato: Prelude
Grover Washington Jr.: I like Inner City Blues and Mister Magic the best. Earth Tones off Magic is nice groovy mellow almost new age like? One of my favorites of his. I think Magic is a good first choice. Soul Box is pretty good too. I’d say ya might not like all the tracks on all the albums depending how your pleasure tends, but if you made an 80 minute best of from the three you’d have a super cd. If that helps? But I’d advise anyone interested to check out stuff online first.
There’s a good series of compilations out called the Legends of Acid Jazz that has some good treatments of many of the main cats, like genre guitar go to’ Melvin Sparks, and Leon Spencer, George Benson dabbles around the Soul Jazz edges. Jimmy Smith Back at the Chicken Shack is old school, and Dr Lonnie Smith is another of many keyboard/organists. One of the cool things is how like jazz, so many of the main dudes play on each other’s albums.
Many more but those are good starts.
The cool thing is it’s easy to Segway into things like MMW: End of the World Party and Uninvisble, and even on to the Beastie Boys, yes those Beasties Boys: The In Sound From Way Out and The Mix Up. I think of Curtis/Superfly as another cousin to all this. Herbie Hancock Head Hunters fits too.
To me SJ is like another kind of jazz fusion. Not the scorching Miles or Return To Forever etc, which is more rock like to my ears, but like a funky soul stew of jazz, soul and rock. Perhaps like some Motown cats played jazz?
As I say, sometimes hard to pin point, and certainly not for everyone, but to me it’s like the Garcia/licorice story.
Not everyone will like it, but those who do will love it!

Soul Jazz, Acid Jazz

My exposure to soul jazz or acid jazz is limited and mainly consists of listening to Fusion FM hosted by Roy Ayers in Grand Theft Auto IV in Liberty City, not sure if that's exactly on point. Nice stuff, a mellow, jazzy, psychedelic vibe to some of it as I recall. Mister Magic by Grover Washington Jr is on my list of future acquisitions, maybe some Roy Ayers as well, who knows once I get started in that direction, just haven't picked it up yet. Hopefully Mister Magic is before the transition to Kenny G. that you describe, Oro. Grand Theft Auto in its various iterations actually turned me on to a bunch of great stuff on the various radio stations. Cool to just drive around listening to the radio, sparking the occasional police chase or just looking for hidden stuff. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. Not a bad option as far as an option for a time vacuum. You know you're hitting the GTA a little hard when you start to notice all the unique stunt jumps when you're driving around in the real world. (GTA fiends may get it, the rest of you will just have to play the game excessively, then take a drive in the real world.)

Next box set/ Sugar Pie DeSanto & Etta James

Saw Sugar Pie DeSanto and Etta James both play at the S.F. Blues Festival, also saw Etta James play with the Dead in 1982. Next box is gonna be something from 90,91, 92, possibly Winterland March 1977. I hope its something from 1969/1970 with acoustic material included.

That’s why they play the game

To quote the great Chris Berman!
What a game! Now that was sports worth watching.
The outcome does not surprise me. The Bolts are like a bad case of the clap that just won’t go away, and I mean that as a complement!

AJS: well said as usual. I agree. Pretty much sums it all up.
MIKE: LOL. and yeah, Kadri’s “enthusiasm” can sometimes be a little nerve racking.
PF: love the cup jokes etc, and the energizer bunny, hell last night I felt like I was doing speed!
Dark-Star: good to see ya xxoo. Sounds like your the drunk yelling from the arm chair. I’m just showing solidarity for my fellow Americans, and VGUY, STOLZTY, PANCHO, PT BARNUM etc.
VGUY/PRIMUS: will they be doing Farewell to Kings? Either way should be cool! Have Fun!

CHARLIE: cool stuff, thanks for the good read! Brought up so many awesome aural memories. You guys ever check out Soul or Acid Jazz (prefer Soul as Acid is not really appropriate). Charles Earland, Donald Byrd, Idris Muhammad, Melvin Sparks, Deodato, Jimmy Smith, Dr Lonnie Smith, Grover Washington Jr. (before he went all Kenny G) and so many more. Fits right next to Curtis the Superfly Pusherman etc, GOOD SHEET MON!
Lots of crossover between Soul, Motown Jazz etc. I always felt much of what Merl and Jerry were up to fit in this category. And Disco is perhaps cousins to all this? I like to make my own sorta best of CDs, and I made a killer 2 disc version for a friends young daughter who loved disco. But we like it too, it can be fun stuff, hell folks used to dis The Bee Gees but if you really check out their music it’s pretty solid (and those boys burned like chimneys. My cousin worked on their studio and said no burned like the BeeGees) and I Feel Love, that was my opening track! And what a great stoner song. Put that on a big stereo set up with good stereo imaging, get prepped ; ) , and sit in the sweet spot and check it out. It sounds amazing and that cool auto pan stuff is right outta Healy and Mickeys bag of tricks.

Ah yes, Music, sweet, sweet music, the antidote to what ails ya and the ills of the world.
As Mr Ones would say, Music is the best! Crazy how much great music there is…

CONEKID: almost forgot ya. I can understand your ongoing feud. Took us awhile to get over the Wings lol.
And as a life long Buffalo fan for good or for Ill, it’s still hard to like the Dolphins (sorry vguy) Dallas, and I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to root for the Patsies, even without Brady and Gronk!
I’m just curious, is because of the overall war that was that great rivalry or perhaps just the Lemieux issues?
I’m trying to remember, I’ll have to look for that show you mentioned.

I Feel Love

You are correct, DaveRock, Donna Summer's I Feel Love is great, if I'm in the mood for some Donna it's either that track or Love to Love You Baby more often than not.

Sugar Pie DeSanto is awesome, one of my favorites. Soulful Dress is a great tune and she has a lot more just as good, or in a couple cases even better. I picked up a couple of CD's by her and Go Go Power, the complete Chess Singles is a smoker from start to finish, the better of the two that I picked up. Soulful Dress, Do I Make Myself Clear, In The Basement (with Etta James) and Mama Didn't Raise No Fools stand out in my memory at the moment as highlights of that collection. Do I Make Myself Clear is absolutely on fire.

And, yeah, the Stax boxes, the first three were an early acquisition for me in my soul collection, but there is also a fourth Stax Box - Rarities and the Best of the Rest - that covers some soul rarities, some gospel, and some of the other stuff released on Stax and related labels that ranges outside the soul category. That fourth one is not quite as consistently good as the first three, but it does have a few things that got in my head and my completist nature left me no choice but to pick it up.

For something from this century that sounds like it could have been released in the 1970's, check out Charles Bradley, particularly the track Ain't It a Sin. If you can watch him do Ain't It a Sin online on the you post it video site and not want to pick up some of his stuff I would be surprised. Started checking Charles out when I saw an article about his soulful cover of Black Sabbath's Changes, good stuff, cool version of the song.

And Curtis Mayfield, started checking him out when a friend suggested the Superfly soundtrack, and all it took was the song Pusherman to get me seeking out more Curtis, not to mention my dawning realization that the HBO show the Wire had a bunch of Curtis playing at various points and I dug it. Give Pusherman a listen and see if you can sit still. There's a good box set - Curtis, Keep On Keeping On, Curtis Mayfield Studio Albums 1970-974, a good way to get all his albums at once for a great price. The HBO show the Sopranos also had a bunch of soul tunes scattered throughout, I'm still looking to track down a copy of the song Sally Go 'Round the Roses by the Jaynettes. Or rather, I just picked up a copy this morning, further support for the hypothesis that I have an online shopping problem and a near pathological need to expand my CD collection.

I'll try and shut up now, but once I start down the soul rabbit-hole I can't stop.

Missing the good stuff

On the other hand, I think I am happier listening to Bickershaw at home than I would have been on the site. Going off misadventures at festivals a few years later, if I had been there, I would have probably have spent half the time face down in a puddle half a mile away from the stage. Or maybe down the local nick, having been caught with a piddling amount of dope in my pocket.
Wembley and the Lyceum - that's a different matter.

ok

Ala Carte Order Vol 42 #23311 is in da house...bought it for a friend's birthday next month

Disappointment with delivery and limited editions

Here's the experience I'm having, which is not fun. UPS handles the initial transit of the Dave's Picks CDs, and in my area, the USPS does the delivery to the mailbox. I received a UPS/USPS tracking message that the box had been delivered to my mailbox yet there was no CD and we are sure it was not mailbox theft because
1. other packages of greater value and size and mail were still in and around the box.
2. My wife watched the carrier leave the property, and went out the front door and got the mail. There was no time for 3rd party theft.
Now I'm having to deal with the Post Office, which can pinpoint delivery by GPS. When I asked them about it, they went to check, and 20 minutes later came back and said they would "have to talk to the carrier about it". They did not tell me where it was scanned, now I suspect it was not scanned at a mailbox.
In addition, I have always disliked the whole "limited edition" crap, meaningful to only a handful of collectors. I plan to keep my CDs till I pass. My kids might try to sell them, and frankly I doubt having a limited edition will increase the value all that much. The reason I bring this up, is that of course DP #42 is SOLD OUT. At best the USPS is going to offer me replacement value. I don't care about that. I WANT THE CD! I am a long time subscriber, and now, even though I paid up front, in good faith, the product was not delivered reliably and it appears I have no recourse if I want to purchase a replacement.
While I have yet to hear from the USPS (they told me 48 hours), this situation has a good chance of resolving without me receiving DP #42. While I don't blame GD net or Rhino, I still feel a bit screwed by the whole setup, given the unduly limited amount of available copies.

I hear you Jeff

Patience.. I bet it comes this week.

Bobby and Billy...

Strings that is. Yep, I saw a YouTube vide of the Help On the Way > Slipknot >Franklin's Tower they did. I really liked it, lots of energy and Bob leading at times. Really cool stuff.

I am still digesting DaP 41, but I have given 42 one full listen. Dave L and Co. are giving us the goods. With volumes 43 and 44 in the near future, I feel that elusive summer of 85 show(s) coming soon.

Impressions

Good stuff. Donna is pretty impressive on bid you goodnight. Sounds great most of the time, just a few warm up songs.

One of the best '74 Bertha's I can think of.

Eyes of the World is interesting as far as first impressions go, because it left me feeling like it took me to places that the two '74 versions from the PNW box set did not. I don't know maybe not. This I the kind of thin I'll obsess about all night as I listen to them repeatedly.

#1993 is in the Bay

Lowest one I've gotten yet + with bonus disc! Really glad its for this show. Art for the case is really nice too.

The performances are fine and mighty (looking at you, HCS, Promised>Bertha>GSET, He's Gone>Truckin'>O1>Eyes, etc), despite the occasional vocal dropouts and tuning issues. Picks like these allow me to rediscover an era I love and also challenge me to look past the vocal/tuning problems and just listen to the music.

Daves 42

NICE

mawr mawr mawr please Dave!!!

Ok. This TOO -> Eyes is almost TOO much....

....simply incredible.
Another Slipknot! tease to the Spanish lady this time.
Listening with intent.
Gets a little scary in there.

Sound quality is so good

I'll see if the Doc can address this.

Anniversary show 5/9/87. Laguna Seca Raceway

35 years ago yesterday
, I was down at Laguna Seca Raceway for a knockout show with the Good Ole Grateful Dead. This was a great place to see the Dead. They kicked off the show with Sugar Magnolia. Bill Kreutzmann dedicated He's Gone to Paul Butterfield.. The Dead came out later that night and filmed part of the Touch of Grey Video.

Dead Net and Rhino are the Best!

Thank you thank you thank you! The Doctor did hear my anguish and has prescribed a wonderful remedy! I can't say enough for what great customer service this is, and how wonderful this community continues to be!
I was pain yesterday, sorry for the long rant, but DPs are such a wonderful thing that I was really feeling frustrated and at a loss. The Doctor's remedy is perfect! Thank and much love to this entire community!

First Listen To DaP 1 Vinyl

Just getting started. Sound seems very good. Has a little echo from the hall but not noticeable after a few songs. My tape from my buddy back in the 90's must have been a very good low gen. copy.
Have to comment on the notes and a review from the local paper about the show. Pre-internet and early taper era not quite accurate info but Jim Mason gets a K for close. He cites "Starlit Begonias" and misses the credit for Chuck Berry on "Jet to the Promised Land" but gets the credit right if not the name on "Reelin' and Rockin" for Around & Around.
The amp is warming up and the volume is going up too. So glad I got this vinyl since I missed the Dap 1 CD. Vinyl quality is good and heavy. Absolutely silent between songs and no junk in the grooves so far. Enjoy!
Cheers
Edit: The 1st set review. Strong start with Half Step, Jack Straw and finish with Promised Land. Everything at that just exactly perfect pace one expects from Spring '77. Notables for me were the spare but hot Lazy Lightning/ Supp. and a Loser with that cool chippy effect Jerry does.
Took me a minute to figure out the cover. Apparently the show was on the release date of a famous Lucas film.

I met #24568 accidentally, in Saint Paul, Minnesota

Finally arrived today in Saint Paul; in the past I received one of the Dave's Picks with a number in the 23,000s, but this one is darn close to the top number! I've been listening to DaP 13 (the Skater) in preparation . . .

Tomorrow is the 45th anniversary of 5/11/77, recorded live here in Saint Paul . . .

Ltd. Ed

Ok one more time. Limited editions keep the costs down for everyone. The business decision to keep costs down by only handling a title for a short time. The argument that it keeps people who don’t have the money at the moment from the music simply doesn’t fly in 2022. Besides the sites available you can copy anything nowadays. The moral position of stealing from the artist doesn’t hold since the followed through on promise of Ltd pressing means the company won’t issue it again. ZFT keeps their catalog mostly in stock. Check out their prices

Ice Hockey !!!

just watched leafs v tampa while on night shift - shit if only all sports were like this !!!

Leafs/Lightning....

....playoff hockey is THE BEST!
Obligatory FU to Tampa lol.

Dave's Picks

Why can this not be purchased as a digital download? Every other audio product is available in that format.

We can skip the shipping process. Production>warehouse>ups pick up>ups to your state>Drums>Space>USPS>USPS local delivery.

It shouldn't take 2+ weeks, to receive, after getting shipping notice Email. Could be made available to all, on the release date.

Ice hockey

The leafs are now my 2nd favourite team after - deep breath , the flyers . I know I know , no one likes us we don’t care ect ect . But I just love their mid 70’s fuck you attitude towards the establishment and let’s not forget the spectrum a home away from home .

Dave's Picks 42 arrived

Number 11639 arrived at my mailbox late Monday morning. It sounds much better than the cassette copy I have. The only thing I find disappointing is that the 2nd encore has been reformatted to the 2nd disc. So much for the limitations of the compact disc. Great show to say the least. Thanks, Dave & crew.

It just so happens that I was home and walking to my mailbox when the Letter Carrier arrived. I had met him several times in the recent past and he has a very strong resemblance to Jerry. I mentioned that he looks like the late Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. He said that quite a few people have said that and that he is of Spanish origin and all four of his grandparents were from the Galicia region of Spain. He is exactly 20 years younger than Jerry and was born on August 1, 1962. The big difference is that my Letter Carrier is shorter and about 100 pounds lighter than Jerry was in his later years.

Alreet!

Just stumbled across a 5-10-69 show I didn't have that I was at...it's from Pasadena's Rose Palace which was quite the dump...co-billed was an early David Lindley band "Kaleidoscope" and another band that did quite a few gigs around So Cal at the time, "Southwind"...DL'ing now and will give a listen when I get home from...drum roll please...WORK!!!...also snagged another one I didn't have, 10-21-71 from Chicago....good stuff

Why CDs?

Because I am old. Thats my personal reasoning, JW. my beloved calls me grampa because I resist a lot of digitalness.

A digital option would be good for those who are more digitally inclined, I do get that.

5 10 69, Nappy...I discovered that gem last year. (I am pretty sure thats the one.. ) And you got to be there...wow. envy, i feel

I WANT A 69 BOX, DAVE!

please

Mr Postman, er, Jerry?

Digital Downloads and Limited Edition

Someone smarter than me explained this business plan and it makes complete sense. The quickest way to decrease the volume of available Dead CDs released annually is to do away with the Limited Edition model and add the ability to download. This is a niche market in antique music, so it's not comparable to downloading your most recent Taylor Swift release. You want Dead? Lots of Dead? 4 a year + box set + novelty items like unreleased multi track Port Chester shows as bonus features for 50th anniversary releases? The bus door is open with cowboy Neil at the wheel.

Antique

“Why I outta, who you calling antique?” I can just hear Garcia lol

Ahem, but it’s the 21 century, you must use the proper terminology, “Legacy” is the proper PC terminology for things that are not new. ; )
And I’m not making fun of you amigo, just this crazy world we live in! Everything has to have some stupid tag now, often military in origin i.e., shelter in place instead of stay home etc, homeland instead of country…

Dave's Picks 42 & 2022 Bonus CD art

Finally caught up with my Dave’s 42 yesterday. Here's a linq to my scan of Matt Adam’s cover art for the 2022 Bonus CD (corrected & squared as usual). Matt's cover art for Dave’s 42 is also attached. Be sure to pass around. In the meantime, hope your copy has landed, or is about to, and you're blasting this great new installment from the Grateful Dead à la Dave or soon will be. Onward.

Old fashioned ways

You don't hear the word nincompoop very often these days, either. Shame really - it's a description that would fit so many.

Sound City

We watched 'Sound City' Dave Grohl's documentary about the history of recording studio Sound City Studios in Van Nuys, Los Angeles. Excellent film, covers a lot of ground with all the historic music recorded in the studio, including Terrapin Station! There is significant interview footage with Keith Olsen, due to his early involvement with Sound City.
Olsen went on to produce Terrapin Station, and some say take quite a bit of liberties with the final record.

Neither snow nor rain stops Jeff Smith

"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this Jeff Smith from the swift completion of his appointed rounds". A shout out and a big thank you once again to Jeff Smith for the excellent cover work! Now, if only my local postal service would deliver Da Ding Dang DaP42 before 43 gets released (Post Office: Obsolete; Dysfunctional)

In happier news that I’m sure fellow Leafers Oro and Angry Jack can appreciate, the series stands 3-2 for the Leafs over the defending two time Champions Tampa Bay. Get your clubs buffed up, Bolts, for you will be teeing off come the weekend.
Got my Emmylou Harris tix - wanted Fleet Foxes, but when the world gives you lemons, you get Emmylou tix!

Misc.

Yeah, I don’t care what anybody says, Jeff Smiths awright! ; )

Nincompoop, yes it’s a shame such an awesome word has fallen by the wayside, BUT, fortunately cattywampus has made inroads!

NITECAT: yes that was an awesome Doc, that and the HBO series (Sonic Highways) he did where they went to different historic studios and did a song at each one for their album at the time.
Also, We hit 6/14/80 on POTDWD today, another beauty enjoyed!

MIKE: WTF, early last game I had to make sure I wasn’t watching the Sabres: endless stupid penalties and no effort, it was like they wanted to loose lol.
But Whatever happened in the locker room between 2nd and 3rd, the coach needs more of! Great third period!
I thought they were finished, but luckily, once again, I was wrong ; )
Now can they do it uno mas? GO LEAFS!

Nappy

Kaleidoscope, possibly the only band live who could have given the Dead a run for their money, though their recorded legacy is disappointingly slim and their first album , Side Trips is very much of its time and not really recommended.
But the band begins to hit its stride with the second album, Beacon from Mars, known to some over here as Pig Meat from Outer Space, (Bacon from Mars- geddit?)
Led Zeppelin, before they started denying being influenced by West Coast music, and in particular ripping off Spirit, said that Kaleidoscope was their ideal band, both for quality of music, but also stage show which included Flamenco and Belly dancers.
It was this band which sent me off to explore Turkish music including Baglama. One of the worlds great record labels is Kalan, delve into Spotters or Utube if so inclined, but be aware their are lots of female singers, Mrs Dogon and I love them, but perhaps an acquired taste, or for a contemporary band try Baba Zula.

TAXIM!
Now, Southwind, thats a name I have not heard in 40 years!

could be the end of ebay pirates

being an occasional shopper and seller on ebay, I received a message from them today. It seems that the build back better plan has a stipulation that states that from this year on, if you make more than 600.00$ on ebay, you will have to prove that it was not profit or pay a tax on said monies. Now, for folks like me, I only sell old things that I have laying around the house, things that I no longer use or need. The new law states that you must provide a receipt of your cost of the item that you want to sell on ebay and if your price exceeds that, you will pay income tax on that difference. Now, how many people keep receipts of things that you purchased 20 or 30 years ago? How about 10 years ago? 5? last year? No one keeps receipts that long, so now without proof that you paid X amount of dollars for an item, you will pay income tax on the entire amount. Ebay is sending letters to everyone who has ever sold anything on ebay to write or call your representative in congress to get this 600 dollar ceiling raised or done away with completely. If this stands, it could very well mean the end of ebay profiteers who buy Dave's picks to resell. No longer with this new law will they be able to reap huge profits. I can see in the future a lot more picks being available due to resale being no longer cost effective.

Hitsville

Sound City great documentary. Keith Olsen, "yeah, but you are a lotcloser to the bank." Or something like that. Great Doc. Have it on the DVR. I am sure you have seen Muscle Shoals. Another great one.

Also, the new ZZ Top one is really good, especially with the passing of Dusty Hill.

I remember one on Motown's Hitsville USA. There are some others that I can't remember right now.

Seems like on the Kansas documentary Miracles Out of Nowhere, they talk about a studio down in the swamps of Louisiana that looked amazing. It is, however, in the middle of nowhere. Made Muscle Shoals seem like the big city.

Speaking of documentaries

I see that there are two that will be released sometime in fall

Moonage Daydream about David Bowie's career

In the court of the crimson king about...take a guess

Daves 42 disc three today...oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!

Disc Three

42 is all damn good, but that Other One/Eyes alone is worth the price of admission!

Bonus disc???

Got the subscription but my copies of vol 42 didn't come with the bonus disc. Has anyone else encountered this?

The TOO -> Eyes....

....grate ears think alike. I said that a few pages ago!
And to answer mugsie, not to me.

Mugsie

Did you unseal the CD package yet? For the first time ever, my bonus disc was packed inside the "gatefold" of the main release. There was also a sticker on the outside of the plastic wrapping that said "Daves Picks 42 w/bonus disc". I could just barely see the bonus disc sandwiched inside.

Thank you KEITHFAN

It's funny.....I saw the sticker on the backside of the discs but didn't think to look in the middle, and there they are, crazy
Thanks for the info KEITHFAN, grately appreciate it

Cool Mugsie

Glad you got the disc. That's not one you want to be without!

Hendrixfreak/E72

Hendrixfreak, just to keep you in the loop the E72 sweat shorts are still available. Just think you can cruise around town in your $80 E72 sweat shorts and let everyone know, hey not only did I preorder these bad boys in May, they are limited edition, and it says so on the inter tag.

FLAC to mp3

Good Day All.

A request for some help, if you can. I was not able to transfer my old "FLAC to mp3 converter" to a new computer.

Would anyone please be able to suggest any inexpensive, easy software available to convert multiple FLAC files to mp3? I would appreciate any help anyone can share. (Oh yeah, I am definitely not the 'tech savvy' one, but learning).

Thank you for your time.

Sound City

What a fantastic documentary. Although I am not a huge fan of his music, I have the utmost admiration for Dave Grohl.

Well Mike, we find ourselves here once again. Good luck to us tomorrow night. And to the Oilers. You are a huge fan of Matthews, but I would take Kucherov all day long. Combined with Hedman, it makes me nervous about the outcome. Those guys are grinders.

Printing...

I received my Dave's 42 with Bonus but they managed to print the number on the spine. Initially I thought it was unnumbered but there it is, wrapped around the edge! Anyone know the doc's email? I haven't emailed him/ her since 2013. Thanks!

Flac to MP3

I use Foobar 2000.. it's decent, easy to use and free.

Not a big lossy mp3 fan, but I won't hold it against you.

DVikes/HFreak & Short Shorts. "Truckin' in style along the avenue... "
I realize $80 seems a bit high for a pair of drawstrings shorts, but they are on sale from $160, 50% off. A bargain.

I resemble that remark....

Dammit Jim, you uttered the talismanic mantra, "short shorts," and I cannot un-see those pics of Bobby from the late '80s... E 72 drawstring shorts?? Well, I'd be on it, but I still retain at this late date a smidge of the ability to feel shame. So, maybe I'm waiting for the E 72 diapers. Not long before I'll need them...

It's a sunny day in Denver today but cloudy in my heart. My beautiful cat of 20 good years had to go down last night. Zoe -- the name bestowed by the triplets next door who gave her to me (they're now married and having children!) -- is/was tuxedo style, with a great sense of humor (she'd bait me when I came home, hiding behind a chair (not realizing her tail stuck out) then zipping past to hide again, and a big thumper (cat people may understand) who just liked to hang out, sitting at my feet while I strummed a guitar. At eight o'clock every night I was home, she'd come find me specifically to cop some affection. Used to claw her way under the covers on cold nights, which kinda freaked out the girlfriends, especially the veterinarian. My Eight O'Clock Woman is now far out among the stars as I use a pick axe to dig a hole in the garden for her soft little body.

Then prepping for a 65-mile paddle in my pack raft down the Little Snake River, one of the last wild rivers in Colorado.

To live is to love and grief is the price we pay. No "woe is me" though, just glad my baby is no long suffering the indignities of old age.

Cheers to all!

Here’s to Zoe!

Losing pets can sometimes be harder then peoples : (

Angry Jack and the Maple Leafs

Jack - After following these guys for 60+, I am amazed I haven’t had a stroke yet, but I remain fit, and still hit the gym. They absolutely drive me to the edge, though, at how they can fold like a Samsonite Elite when they had Tampa all but finished. If the Buffalo Bills wore skates…
Regardless, a big finale on Saturday! As for Kutcherov, as my lady is of Ukrainian heritage, it’s not in my best interest to give props to anything Russian, but I’ll take Arizona’s Finest Auston Matthews any day. This guy is absolutely the real deal, and if the Leafs prevail, it will be on his back.

Still waiting for 42. Dropped a line to the good folks at Rhino today, finding delivery taking longer and longer, and how about thinking outside the box, and offering customer delivery/shipping options, for cost? This regular mail gig is the worst.

A raise of the glass to...

Zoe.

I'm sorry for your loss, HF. Losing a pet is not easy.

I write this from the veterinarian parking lot as my cat gets claws trimmed and pads trimmed.
