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.

Eric Nesterenko

that's a name I haven't heard for ages and instantly recognized. Nesterenko was a core player with the Blackhawks when I was a kid. Bobby Hull, Stan Mikita, Pit Martin, Tony Esposito and others. Legends. Born in Flin Flon, Manitoba (Flin Flon - what a cool name). Parents were Ukranian immigrants.

Johnny Rotten wasn't so hard

I met him once. Sort of. It was at the Electric Circus in Manchester in December 1976 a few days after the interview with Bill Grundy had been broadcast on television. There were 4 bands on that night, and the Sex Pistols were last on. I went on my own.
Between bands I went to the bar upstairs for a pint and a breather. It was virtually empty - but the Pistols were there, talking to some girls at the bar. I got my drink and slumped down..and then got the feeling someone was looking at me. I looked at the next table, and it was Johnny Rotten , also sitting on his own. I mumbled a greeting, and he mumbled one back. Then he re joined the band and they went on. Not exactly great meetings of our time.

Despite the fact that he had short hair and...well he was a punk....and I had very long hair and looked like - well I don't know what I looked like - but I sensed that we were cut from the same cloth at that time. Both about 19, skinny, mad..
I'm glad Sid Vicious wasn't there, though.

Mr Smith, and Hockey of course ; )

Wow, beyond cool Jeff! Those windows and that story was awesome! I can relate to egos, rich folk, and crazy deadlines. Fortunately I don’t have to deal with those so much anymore. Like y’all didn’t have enough to deal with without some DB mucking up the works. Shoulda dosed him lol. Seems like you’ve found the hard to get niche of art and commerce that’s cool and invigorating and not the soul crushing constantly compromised for cash scenario, kudos!

Many celebrity brush ups but since it’s hockey season I’ll just share a related one. Mikes telling of the real great one, Gordy Howe, made me remember my time with the great but perhaps unknown by all except the most dedicated and perhaps “mature” hockey nuts. Almost 25 years ago when we first moved in the area we live in, my first job was at a golf club. I’d dropped outta grad school and for various reasons just wanted something less stressful and to be outside in the mountains etc. after a few years I became the outside staff manager.
The director of golf had hired this old, literally crooked sort of old bent guy who had a been an NHL warrior back in the bad ole daze of Eddie Shore, Gordie Howe etc named Eric Nesterenko.
He played over twenty years which is kind of amazing if you understand what hockey was like back then. So here’s this beat up old supposed legend working for me as a starter/ranger at an off the path club in the middle of nowhere.
Well Eric was quite a guy but not much of an employee.
He had two problems: as a starter he was never at the first tee box. Usually I could find him at the driving range which was no bueno because although we had liberal privileges at the club, we were not to use the facilities on the clock or in uniform. Well there’d be Eric 8 outta 10 times at the range. Now if that wasn’t enough, he was a machine and would not just hit a few balls, he go through ever damn ball on the range lol. I mean these were Titleist den caddies: (hollow mini golf bags full of about 300 balls), times about 15 stations on the range, that’s A LOT of balls and would wipe out most folks. But Nester would routinely go through ever ball out there.
The other habit he had, as a ranger, people can be aholes when the ranger needs to repeatedly get on them. But hey, that’s their job and the offender was mucking things up for everyone else. I’m sure anyone who’s golfed regularly knows what it’s like being stuck behind rich ahole arm chair Tiger Woods, not fun!
So Nesters problem was when some of these folks would get uppity with him, he’d be ready to drop the gloves!
Now we thought that was hilarious, and some of these nutnics probably deserved a couple elbows in the corner, but of course professionally we had to act shocked, liked we cared when these dipshits complained about him.
I never got to no him that well, but he was always a respectful gentleman to me and the staff, and we loved working with him.
The amazing thing was, even years later, he continued to be a ski instructor in vail, even after all his body had been through! About 10-15 years after I worked with him, we had a gig at a tiny little place in vail. So small we were only allowed to use like one powered monitor with acoustic instruments. Nester, and his son, along with several others were regulars there for apre’ ski. We did the gig mostly because of the fun atmosphere, it was an early gig, and you didn’t need to schlep Amps/PA etc It was mostly for fun, which it was. In fact it got too big so they cancelled us. Imagine that: we’re making too much money and it’s too popular so you can’t play here anymore lol. Well not only was it fun, but Nester and all the regulars took really good care of us too. Some nights we’d actually make ok money!
I haven’t seen Nester in years, but I think he might still be up the hill giving lessons if at all possible.

So speaking of hockey, wow, wild games last night! Not a big Rangers fan (no offense) so loved that outcome, and holy crap I hope the whole Battle for Alberta series is like last night! Wow! Tonight…
GO AVS!

If i saw Johnny Rotten in person up close

I would run away.

I love NMTB and PIL's first two albums, but...he seems to be someone to avoid contact with.

Chuck Berry

Jeff - Great guy to meet in Chuck Berry, that is gold! Great story, and your art work is amazing. What was Chuck Berry's reaction to seeing the work?

I would say my meetings with celebrities has been great, overall. I worked a boat show in the 90s, and in the booth next to us was Desmond Llewelyn, infamous as "Q" in the James Bond series. It was a super dead night in January, and he was so nice. He was there for some company, and they were featuring that silly "Alligator Sub" from one of the cheesy Roger Moore movies (I was glad when they dumped Moore). I lost the poster he signed in one of many moves, regretably.

Of the folks I met, Sir Edmund Hillary was top of my list for sheer respect, and he and Gordie Howe both had hands like dinner plates. Big dinner plates. Chris Hillman (pictured) was terrific, as was Herb Pedersen, and Gene Clark. Dan Akroyd was a hoot, and I still have the wine bottle he signed (sans the wine!). Rod Serling's daughter (Anne) and Byron Berline (fiddle master) both signed books for me, but the one that moved me the most was Kim Phuc, known infamously as "The Girl In The Picture", running naked as a little child from an errant napalm bombing in South Vietnam. She lives in the next town over, and she is the most spiritual person I have ever met, not at all defined by the atrocities done to her, or that she had seen.

I'd love to have met Jerry Garcia, I understand he was about the most centred guy you could meet. I'm still holding out to meet Dylan, but I always get the feeling he may be somewhat jaded about that kind of an encounter.

Meeting celebrities

I worked at an Executive Jet Centre a few years ago for a while, rich people and celebrities, singers on tour etc. Rich people generally were great, polite and respectful, celebrities less so.

I've literally bumped into Roy Orbison and Johnny Rotten. Roy smiled and ruffled my hair, I was about 8 at the time, and Johnny said nothing but the gorilla of a minder behind him (it was in the pub next to the Rainbow Theatre, London, before the Ramones New Year's Eve gig 1977ish) wasn't too polite.

Europe 72' Limited Edition Hoodies

Scott McDougall's Europe '72 artwork is some of the most memorable and among my favorite GD cover art. In case it hasn't been mentioned, Europe '72 hoodies are on sale for $58 at Section119 dot com. Looks like "Munich" is sold out.

Getting in tune with Chuck

I was surprised to find an unsuspecting Phil Lesh at a table at the Bar at Terrapin Crossroads one night a few years ago – wasn’t as quick on my feet at Keithfan was with Chris Squire. Sort of mumbled “Hi!” and “Thanks!” and dumb stuff.

What I’ll never forget is the time I met Chuck Berry. He was the featured guest at the Grand Opening Night Gala for Dallas’s Hard Rock Cafe in 1986. I was lead artist/coordinator for the making of the Hard Rock's Elvis, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis stained glass windows, which earned me a coveted invite to the HRC’s VIP “Cheese Club” upstairs for a seated dinner. In fact I sat next to Chuck’s gorgeous daughter. After the meal, everyone exited back into the crush of revelers. All of us were partying hardy. During the transformation of this old church into the HRC, I’d discovered a hidden “nook” where I escaped for some calm.

The next thing I knew club owner and visionary, Isaac Tigrett, opened the secret door to “my” nook, and told Chuck Berry he could tune and warm up there. Nobody asked me to leave, so I spent 20 or 30 minutes listening to Chuck play. We chatted a little about growing up in Missouri and Arkansas. Chuck was still kinda pissed at the way he’d been treated by the taxman, the law and the record companies. Then, before I knew it, a manager stuck his head in and led Chuck to where he waited until being introduced by Dan Ackroyd and proceeding to blow the top off the place. The Paul Schafer Band played most of the rest of the time.

For more about the Chuck Berry and other two HRC windows (remove the "dot"s and "spaces" first):

I still have the tapes, among others

I probably taped 100+ interviews all over the country, both on the phone and in person from California to D.C., over the five years I spent documenting Roy Buchanan's life and he had an amazing breadth of colleagues. However, Dale Hawkins probably was first, then Ronnie, to hire Roy. (Dale met me at a coffee shop. I suggested we go somewhere to loosen up and smoke a joint. He goes, "Oh! I didn't know you were cool." I said, "Yeah man, I'm cool. And I've got something for you." So he said, "Follow me to my studio.") We rolled a couple -- I had taught Rollo California to cultivate and he'd done pretty well that year -- and we talked, Dale played some new recordings for me, pulled some blow out and when I extracted the half-lb as a gift, man, Dale's eyes lit up like it was Christmas! He was a hard ass, but with Southern graciousness.

Of course, a missing bit of rock 'n roll history is that Robbie Robertson picked up the "whistler" -- that high harmonic note -- created by simultaneously striking the string with pick and fingertip -- from Roy. Though Robertson, with The Band's help -- created some of the most memorable songs in rock history, Robbie couldn't shake a stick at Roy's guitar playing. Not even close.

Oddly, I pursued Robertson (and Jeff Beck) for years for an opportunity to discuss Roy's influence and they never came to the phone. Robertson had a flack named Jared who kept saying, "Robbie wants to do it, Robbie really wants to do it," but monthly calls over a several year period yielded nada. Beck on the other hand probably never learned that I called his guitar tech, my only point of contact. The tech sez to me, in a British accent: "Listen mate. Jeff's under ee-NOR-mous preshuh for the upcoming tour. He can't possible take time to talk." We've joked about "ee-NOR-mous preshuh" ever since...

Yes to all the GD show touting that goes on here; it has led me to explore my own collection. And the mention of various archival releases by other bands has pushed back retirement. I guess I should say "thanks"!

That line about enormous pressure

made me chortle

It's good to laugh, I say

Puck that hockey stick.

Could care less about hockey,,,, or is that couldn't?

But did make me pull out the classic by Gary Puckit, "Young Girl Get Off of My Ice". Can't let a GREAT hit like that skate by.

I don't watch any sports, certainly not hockey, but I watched the clip of that guy getting his third goal. Amazing a person can control a hard piece of rubber like that!!!

On the music sent to me front, recently had a very fine person from this site send me ALL his mp3's. This added about 300,000 cuts to "The Collection". I believe this will bring me up to over a million tunes.

Obviously, NO ONE can listen to all this stuff, NO ONE will probably like all this stuff. I like to think I'm more the library, the stuff is here when you are ready. It's cool when someone mentions a band and I'm like I think I have some of that. Last night at work a group came up "Dream Theater". Never heard of them,,,, but I had a dozen of their albums!!! (and no I didn't really like it,,,, I'm an almost NEVER metal guy).

So I'll be busy racking and stacking all this new music (NOTHING goes into the collection without proper id-ing and my form of labeling) for a while. But I have knocked out 75,000 cuts so far!

After this last run through, one has to ask,,,, "Can the Beatles stuff be repackaged and more ways???"

Little Feat

Someone mentioned somebody releasing a Waiting for Columbus package. Found the package, but it seems it can't be "pre-ordered" yet.

True?

Dennis... True - and false

The upcoming Little Feat box on Rhino seemingly cannot be pre-ordered from Rhino themselves but it can be pre-ordered from retailers such as Rocket Man Bezos. It is down to who you want to give your money to. The release date is still two months away so no need to panic.

simon and feat

I see rocket man has the 8cd version, but not the 8cd, 2lp and 7" single box.

At least I couldn't find :-)

HF

Is there a book in the works from all your diligent research on Roy Buchanan? A ready audience here on Dead.net if you publish. Guaranteed to sell a couple hundred just to us. What an impressive project! You folks amaze me here.
Back to my slacker lifestyle. Cheers

Tried to look up my relatives who had died in war to memorialize them today. Lots of veterans but only a Great Uncle navy man in WW1 and had to go WAY back to the Revolutionary War to find another relative (Our side, but even in that family name we had both sides represented later in the Civil War) who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. Thank you sirs.

the Hawk

2022 is turning out to be a suck year for loss. Others have posted about Ronnie and I just got to say I agree, the guy was cool as hell, funny as all get out and just a pleasure to be around. Rest in Peace mate, you will be missed.

All long ago, 1st Show

Roy Buchanan: American Axe (Backbeat, 2001) is now out of print. We pursued Roy in concert, 1974-1986. I caught him probably 80 shows. (Same as GD, come to think of it, though very different circumstances.)

You can get the Kindle version or look for it in a library or used. Reviews on Amazon. I have resisted writing this until it was out of print so as not to use the forum for commercial purposes. At risk of turning folks against me, the other music book (still available) is Working for the Man, Playing in the Band: My years with James Brown (ECW, 2018), a ghost-written memoir of my guitar teacher's years with the Godfather of Soul.

Proudfoot: chortling is superior to simply "laughing." Carry on!

The Hawk!

3/25/95, Band Show, working merch with my cousin, at Lulu’s in Kitchener Ontario, home to the worlds longest bar!
Ronnie’s there, larger than life as usual. Believe he was wearing a cheap windbreaker so if you didn’t know who he was you might think he was some farmer lol. Met him backstage, super nice like all the Band boys, but man, when he sat in, boy could still work it! Big, no HUGE fun! Believe I danced me arse off?
Four Winds Blow big guy!

US Festival

Topchinacat, we had arrived the night before and slept in line on concrete and rocks before they opened the gate. So we had a great spot for hearing as well as recording the show.

Dennis and Feat...

You are correct sir, I also have not seen the 8CD + 2LP + 7" single variant offered in retail outlets but, unlike you, I have not specifically been looking for that version. If I come across it for pre-order anywhere I shall let you know.

American Axe: Found It...

HF (or P.C.?), not to be confused with the book about actual axes by a different author LOL.
Not in my local library, will try inter-library loan. My wife has accounts with all the used book merchandisers so we will find one. Thanks!
Cheers
Edit: already found a used copy of Working For the Man. Dude you are erudite! I'm definitely going to get Across the Northern Frontier. I'm currently on a David Lavender binge, CO born author of 40 history books including one on a similar subject. Now back to my slacker lifestyle.
Wait, what? You bushwacked Pike's Peak for book research? Gotta get that one too. I have buddy who climbed that one that way too when he was young. Said it would have been too easy just to drive it and it wouldn't count for his 14er list.

5/30/69 Springers Inn

This is a great show and would make for a great release. It's not that long, so it could be paired with another 1969 show for a double release or part of a larger 1969 box set. The show at Springers was part of a great story on the Dead that appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine, well worth checking out.

American Axe

Being a huge Roy Buchanan fan, I bought American Axe and enjoyed reading it a few years ago. Highly recommended! I might get it off the shelf and read it again.

More meteors, old music etc.

Keep an eye out for Tau Herculids meteor shower tonight. Great to see these connectings to things back in the day, RIP Ronnie. See, react and then why don't I respond to various content, fall way behind, faster we go, rounder we get. I too love the 76 box, from a short era, on deck now. Belatedly, sincere condolences on the loss of your buddy, HF. Sat down to write about what pets, animals meant to me after reading comments, it felt too ponderous. Fortunate to live in a place where I hear and see wild animals often daily, up close, very close, like yelling get the HELL off my porch at a bear three feet away or chasing deer out of various de-fence-less gardens. Hummingbirds within inches, steal my face, hover under my nose, more "nectar" please, buds aren't open yet. A male American Bittern, submarine pump, strangest of all bird calls for weeks deep into the gloaming, looking for a mate. Used to travel too much to keep pets. HF, those of us fogeys who have been reading these entries for a while knew your connection to Roy, now others may learn. I will find AA someday. Had a summer job as a teen with same company where Roy's first keyboard guy, Dick Heintze worked his day job. SnakeStretchers band name came from Danny Gatton, he put that band together for Roy. Who has that first album, the one covered in burlap, anyone? How about the story that Roy worked as a barber before music paid enough, kidded my little brother later on that Roy cut his hair as a munchkin. Saw Roy down in DC several times at The Bayou, My Mother's Place, possibly underground cave known as The Far Inn, cannot recall it all. Did a deep dive into all the Viola Lee Blues I could find last winter, agree, Shrine top contender, there are a couple fine others, raw, missing teeth, worth the primal quest... and Road Trips 1.3, that bonus disc has about the best Hard to Handle, rumor had it Jerry was down on his knees at the end of that solo. They must be working on that 60s box, why don't they tease us, please us? There has to be enough material for 10-12 discs, we know it will have warts, just give (sell) it to us. Sure, we'd take a 60s Daves but a box would blow us away... Bolo, where are you??

US Festival '82

Nitecat, you probably already knew, but there's a "professional" video of that show out there in "vast audio radiance" ... kind of cool because I'm not aware of alot of videos from that era really ... it will take you right back to nearly 40 years ago!!.....tc

Oro

Good lucks to your boys tonight. You know I am pulling for the Oilers, but am fine with either team. I considered a wager until I realized that it would likely amount to me offering up some chicken wings and you offering some of those Rocky Mountain oysters. So I'll pass.

US Festival

Topchinacat, are you refering to the documentary about the US Festival? "The US generation"? That looks interesting, although not focused on the Dead.

Rolling Stone-Springers Inn

Billy - I can remember reading that article, by Michael Lydon, in the book of Rolling Stone articles that came out in 1974. Although I hadn't heard a note of their music at the time I was fascinated by what he wrote. The whole thing about The Dead and their scene seemed amazing the way he described it. In fact, it served as my introduction to them, in a way. That, along with a hatchet job written by Nick Kent in the NME in the same year. He put them down, but made them sound great in the process.

Thanks AJ

Back at ya, it should be fun!
RMO, LOL, not gonna go there!
Besides, icksnay on the hockeysnegh or the content librarians will shhhhuuuussseee us!

Florida just passed a new law

"don't say 'hockey' on dead.net"

note to those who hate on the GD: bugger off

and if you need a palette cleanser: I highly recommend Pretenders first album. rock me, Chrissie and pals!

and how about this classic: Warm Leatherette by The Normal. freakin' awesome.

Oro

For the rest of the series, both teams should just agree to play 6 on 6 with no goalies. The goalies are not even making any difference.

US Festival

Not sure who did the video ...it's got interviews with Bobby, maybe Mickey too if I recall ... and it's on YouTube but in spite of all my cleverness, I am unable to even remotely indicate that address here ....

Off to Burlington with Iggy for the weekend, gonna meet up with a slew of UVM peeps to have a bit of an off-year reunion (damn yous 2020); looking forward to reconnecting and some outdoor time around town. Gonna do a deepest of dives into Dave's 42 on the upward journey. Glad to leave the kids at the curb, we've got Iggy's mom to thank for that.

That is exactly what I posted a year or so ago when 5/3/72 was released. I do not have the patience or desire to flip an album in the middle of a song.

Six - so jealous of you. Burlington is the coolest town in America. Sorry Boulder people. Too bad the Chicken Bone is no longer.

Oro - we can’t have the Rangers in the finals. They should have lost to Pittsburgh. I take back my prior comment on refereeing. Offsides is offsides. I don’t care how you try to rationalize a blown call.

Good luck tonight . . . to my Oilers.

To any Tedeschi Trucks Band fans....

....the first part of their 4 episode I Am The Moon opus dropped on YouTube. Check it out! Good stuff.

AJ

Yep, did not see that coming last night, hope it was a fluke.

For tonight, I purchased a seatbelt for my chair! Expecting another burner!

Hey Six

I got a daughter at UVM too, bumped into Mike Gordon (literally) last time I was there coming out of Citizen Cider. Burlington cracks me up because every time I visit (from Seattle) I see like 50 kids in GD shirts and not ONE in a Phish shirt. Anyway, enjoy one at Zero Gravity for me....

re: TTB I Am The Moon - thanks VGuy!

Vince,

Thanks for the heads up. I have the 4 LP on order which includes a free download!

Bob

Sixtus, FYI on the road to Burlington

Might be too late, be advised a very large sinkhole just opened up recently on the interstate you are/will be using, I-89, that will sloth or divert traffic off the highway around the Williston area (culvert washout fifty feet down). What a great town... great music scene, jazz festival, brews, saw Miles Davis there eons ago at The Flynn, David Bromberg, Phil and Friends, JRAD, etc etc.

TTB and hockey

my wife bought tix for TTB for sometime this summer

I have always ignored them

I hope they give me a good impression

I am much more open to different music these days

Hockey: you guys have me checking scores daily

I will probably track the Krack-en more in the new season

12/19/73 GD
:)))

Hope All Are Well!

Have really been enjoying 42. I think the bonus disk may be my favorite artwork to date on the modern releases. Still slogging thru E72.

Saw 7 shows in three weeks, well actually 17 days. I have been exhausted with nothing in the tank. Finally getting back to normal. My days of 3day weekend shows are over, just can't recoup like when I was younger.

Sixtus, glad your and yours are getting some time off. I know you both need it. Never been to Burlington, maybe some day. Wish I could summer there.

Fishman came into a friend's CBD shop this past weekend. Can't believe he didnt snap a pick. Wondering why Fish even came in.

Hockey, Burlington, etc.

Proud - I posted this years ago. Hockey is very much like the GD. It is popular, but remains essentially a fringe sport. The fans are wildly passionate about their team and the sport. You probably have figured that out by now. Most importantly - you must see it live. You’ll be hooked. Those Kraken jerseys are so awesome.

Following is a list of places on the planet that are cooler than Burlington in the summer:

Concerts, festivals, the mountains, the lake, the people, the shops, the breweries, . . . .
Less than an hour to the border of Canadaland and more importantly, less than an hour and a half to Montreal. The town itself is not too big and not too small.

Burnsy - I hope your daughter is enjoying her time at UVM. I know she is. Just about everyone loves it there. It’s suddenly become the hot school around these parts. I selfishly hoped my daughter would attend so I could spend another four years reliving part of my youth. Not to be. She turned down a very generous scholarship to study biomedical engineering so that I could pay full price at Colgate. And I couldn’t be happier or more proud.

Phish. Good lord. I never understood it and never will. I was in a bunch of engineering classes with Mike Gordon. Real nice guy. They were never all that popular when I was there. The Joneses were the band to see on campus and Max Creek when they came to town. Then for a week or two each spring and fall you were off to see the boys on tour. Not surprised you don’t see many Phish shirts when you visit.

Edit:

Oro - so I hop in the shower at the start of the second tied at 0-0. 5 minutes later when I return it is 3-0 Avs. WTF? Come on Canadaland. You are better than that.

Live Dead/Phish/Hockey....

....yeah about that. I have no argument regarding those. I'll just let it lie.
I enjoy crowds and people. Covid was rough to me. And don't you dare get me started on monkeypox.

Off topic subjects

My favourites are easily the ones that discuss other bands and types of music. After that, books and then films. I would prefer politics and religion to sport, I have to say. The pets one was quite nice. The only time I watch sport is when it is on the telly, which I sometimes put on with the sound down, listening to music. Speaking of which-good day at the cricket yesterday. What happened was...
Last 5
Motown Complete Singles 1965 disc 23 ( 2nd from 1965) Various
Rock and Roll Music cd 11- Studio 1979(plus 1964-1966) Chuck Berry
Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy The Who ( before they went off)
Profits Seer and Sages The Angels of the Ages Tyrannosaurus Rex
Rite Julian Cope

Last Dead was 6/26/73 from the PNW box. The last of the 1973 shows included - and surely one of the best of the year. The 3rd cd is off the planet - Other One-Bobbie McGhee-Other One !

Literature

Dave - my apologies for leaving that out. As it turns out, I just purchased my first Dickens novel, Great Expectations. I’ll post an update in 3 or 4 months when I finish. I’m a very slow reader.

Off topic subjects besides the Grateful Dead

Beer, bbq, blues music, sports, and hiking in the hills around the Bay Area .

AJS

It's the best way. I'm wading through PK Dick's short stories, and I'm in no hurry to finish. Both Dick and Dickens are worlds to get lost in.

Side Note,,, what else?

Just got mail about the Jerry Garcia Before the Dead. They've release in limited vinyl. They're 150,,,, amazon had some seem as high as 450?? Not sure why.

They seem like they are limited, but the amazon ads seem old,,,, the jerry site says back in stock?!?

I ordered,,,, I have the cd set and have always like it, so what the hell.

Literature, listens & Sports

Discovered Folio Society last fall and been rediscovering my favorite Science Fiction books I have not read in 30 years, along with reading the Ian Fleming books for the first time. Sort of like the yearly releases here, very nice editions but pricey. I get to experience your shipping woes in reverse (minus the VAT).

Folio Society just came out with a nice edition of PKD's short stories. I think they had a Limited Edition set of all of PKD's short stories, but that sold out long before I discovered them and was too pricey for my budget...

Halfway through The Handmaids Tale (1st read). Next up will be Moonraker, then deciding between Dune or Foundation Trilogy (both re-reads).

Still have some of the 4 disc E72 Germany shows to go thru, but finished strong with all four Lyceum shows on their anniversary date. Did a little blast thru the three cd's of Kate Bush due to Stranger Things the last couple of days.

Rooting for the Celtics in The Finals and hoping The Oilers bounce back. Sad to see the B's get bounced. Suspect it's Bergeron's last season wearing the Spoked B. Would like to see a Canadian Team win some year (as long as it's not the HABs or the Canucks). My preference would be The Leafs if the B's are out.

Played Disc Golf for the first time in 30 years. Bought 2 beginner sets for my daughter and I and we went for the toss and walk last Sunday. Last time I played was in 1990 when my college concert crew and I road-tripped to see another buddy who lived in DC. It was a whirlwind trip. Did the monument tour, visited the Whitehouse, a session of both the House of Rep and Senate. We walked around Georgetown and saw BobW walking around there and headed off to play Disc Golf. The next day got to see my first Dark Star hitting the monsoon that was RFK on 7/12/90. Pretty sure Jimbo was at that show.
