    A sealed, unlabeled box sat undisturbed for decades on a shelf in the Grateful Dead’s San Rafael tape vault on Front Street, its contents an enduring mystery, even to those few with access to the vault. All David Lemieux knew about that box when he became the Dead’s archivist was that it contained tapes belonging to Bear—Owsley Stanley, the Dead’s first soundman and architect of the Wall of Sound. Even in the Dead Heads’ Holy of Holies, the taped-up box was tantalizing. But this was Bear’s personal property, and so he didn’t touch the box out of an abiding respect for the elder luminary of sound. Bear’s archive of Sonic Journal recordings had been kept safe for him for years within the Grateful Dead’s vault—over 1,300 reels of tape stored in heavy-duty cartons like old banana boxes. At any time, David could have popped the tops and explored them to his archivist heart's content. But they were off-limits without the nod from Bear. - Starfinder Stanley, Hawk, and Pete Bell, Owsley Stanley Foundation

     

    With a wink and a nod from Bear, we've peeled back those banana boxes to find some of the oldest and rarest of all recordings of the Dead including the double dose of shows that make up DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 43. The two virtually complete performances from San Francisco 11/2/69, Live At Family Dog At The Great Highway, and from Dallas 12/26/69, McFarlin Auditorium, are complementary in their clarity and consistency thanks to Bear himself, and in their ability to foreshadow where the Dead were headed in the years to come. If the two killer 20-minute+ "Dark Stars" don't get ya, how about the Pigpen-centric sets featuring "Midnight Hour," "Next Time You See Me," "Big Boss Man," "Good Lovin'," and the once-lost-now-found complete rendition of "Dancing In The Streets," or the first full acoustic set ever performed? And we're certain you'll be fascinated to uncover the "Mystery Of Bear's Banana Boxes" as told by Starfinder Stanley, Hawk, and Pete Bell in the liners.

    I haven't bothered to go to a Seattle Mariners game for several years.

    I went tonight, though.

    I was reminded why I haven't gone for so long.

    Weak, limp, anemic baseball.

    Clean is the thing!

    Yep, DMCVT has covered the must checks.
    Another FYI. You can actually damage/blow speakers just as easy or easier with a low powered amp as high powered depending on use.
    Distortion will cause additional heat, heat damages voice coils. So a low powered amp, even with matching specs, being driven into clipping (distortion) can eventually cause speaker failure, while a higher powered amp if not driven very hard will provide cleaner undistorted power AND probably provide better tone. Because it’s not clipping, it’s not heating the voice coil as much.
    Obviously there are are limits to this so don’t go cranking your 1000 watt amp full blast with 100 watt speakers cause you’ll literally set them on fire!
    Had this happen before: using McIntosh MC 2300 power amp with regular type speakers (60 watt) and well, worked great until we tried to see how far they’d go and so eventually started em on fire. Now, we were kinda trying to do that lol.
    Another time I saw big JBL 15” PA woofer start on fire. The band was Set up in the middle of a bowling alley so no nearby walls or boundaries to enhance the bass, so sound guy over compensated and pushed em so hard one started on fire. Crazy stuff, fat lighting guy comes rushing toward the stage and tosses his pitcher of Long Island ice tea on it cause, ya know how well water and electricity mix lol. I simply reached over and unplugged the speaker. Luckily the sprinklers in the building didn’t go off because there was a looottt of smoke lol.
    Think of it like a car engine, if you push a little engine too much it’ll blow, if you have a really big engine, but don’t push it, it’ll hardly break a sweat.
    Infinity is another I’ve heard of, but not so sure I’ve heard? As previously said, ya never now for sure what things will sound like until you hook it all up. That being said, you can often get a feel for the product by doing a little online research. Check places like Audiogon etc, with a grain of salt as there’s just as much bad Intell out there as good. But you can usually get a general idea of the products main characteristics. Like if 23 outta 42 reviews say they sound tinny, well they might be tinny etc. look for folks who say “ I used to have those and loved them” etc.

    Same with your hearing: you can cause hearing damage just as easy with not so loud music if it has lots of distortion, where conversely, you can listen to really loud music that’s super clean and not hurt yourself. Like you can listen to a really loud classical orchestra with no problem, but a really distorted metal band, even if not super loud can cause damage after sustained exposure. Another beautiful thing about the Dead, they could get really loud, but you wouldn’t even know it unless you tried to talk to the person next to you!
    Good luck whichever way you go!

    Top Shelf Stuff

    Yes, those two British brands get consistently excellent reviews DMCVT. It is said the rubber surrounds outlast the foam by miles but are tough to replace. And Oro I've never even heard of those top shelf brands other than Pro Audio in your modern audio realm. Blowing off the used Advents for something serviced and safe. The Infinitys made in Chatsworth, CA should suite me fine. I know that seller will do me right. Only pushing under 30W through them from the old Pioneer integrated in a bedroom they should be perfectly suited. And I've heard a pair of them recently albeit not with my system. I think that guy had a vintage Marantz 2245 playing them. Got a vintage fully restored TEAC V-5RX cassette deck showing up today for that system. Breaking the tapes out of the closet! Again many thanks to you both.
    Cheers
    Edit: Still kicking myself for selling my first good set of speakers, Cerwin-Vegas, when I was young. Hard to find now but boy did they rock the dormitory and a few rental houses BITD! Their moto was, "Loud Is Beautiful If It's Clean".
    Edit 2: The TEAC is killer. Best deck I ever had. Tapes sound amazing. Break out the soundboards and auds. Why didn't I get a nice one BITD? Likely as I couldn't afford one then! Love the vintage!

    Happy to see Oro's wisdom and experience here (Hola Oro!). Bookshelf speakers often get such collateral abuse, drop kicked, sun bleached, over powered with too many distorted watts... those surrounds are always the first thing to check. Next tweeter domes, have they been dinged or crinkled? Tweeters can fry quickly because of their delicate voice coils. Check replacement parts availability. Found a used set of Kef Q15s years ago, $20 each, thought just about perfect until recently, found a pair of B&W DM601s locally for $100. Significant improvement, really smooth balanced response, irresistible to an audio junkie, who cared if one cabinet had a corner dent. Both the Kefs and the B&Ws have some kind of rubber for surrounds, not foam and seem to be in fine shape for twenty somethings. They can be bi-amped as they have dual inputs, one for each driver, jumpers between for single input. To judge accurate reproduction of mid range, listen to solo piano or woman's song to check a bookshelf size speaker.

    No worries, I love talking about stereos.

    We don’t sell many stand alone speakers anymore, mostly in wall/ceiling. No one wants to see gear anymore. Remember back in the day when folks used to like to show off their stereo!

    Occasionally we will on bigger jobs. For big theaters we were using Pro Audio Amps/speakers, but not sure we’re still doing that? We also have used Wisdom Audio last few years, and McIntosh. Did lots of BMW BITD but I think we lost our dealership? I think we did some Toa for a bit! Think our Aspen office occasionally sells some Wilson’s?
    Our in ceilings have been Sonance, and I’ve seen little bookshelf versions. In fact I have a small like new set of three I should get rid of? One of my current installations were using James audio in ceiling.
    Also, I believe I have some new in box Denons? Very small came with one of those all in one sets. We paired em with in ceiling so I still have those in the box. Actually have 3 B&W 805s and some 602s? Not sure on the models…the 602s I’m using for immersive height layer utilizing Auro 3D format. The 805s were supposed to be for a surround set up in the BR but didn’t end up doing that.
    If I was buying new, and could afford it, I’ve liked the Harbeth monitors. Focal has some more affordable offerings, but they can be hit or miss. Perhaps Magico if I was wealthy lol.
    Always try to hear stuff before you buy when possible. If buying new, some places will let you try with your electronics because in the end the synergy of your gear combined with your preferences (sound) is what matters.

    Oh ps, keep forgetting: sorry about the kitty! My cousin just had to put down what I consider one of the best, most mellow cats ever, very dog like! Henry was 22 years and 9 months but had a stroke so they had to put him down : (

    Thanks DMCVT & Oro

    Good advice. The surrounds look good in pics but I haven't seen in person yet. Got another pair I've been eyeing from a known good seller: Infinity Reference One, a 6" two-way but not the Emit tweeter. New surrounds and broken in he says. And I heard a pair of these a few months ago at the music/record store that was going out of business. (Dang! Lost another one. We kill small stores quick out here in the boonies.) They sounded good and they still barely fit my size limitations and considerably more money but, as you guys point out, anything of that era is going to need refoamed soon no matter how well they were kept. Just crap on Craigslist and we don't see the good stuff at our Salvation Army so it's safer to just pony up. So Oro what's the popular brand now in your home installations? I assume some of what you do is in ceilings or flat mounted. Do you do the full on home theater stuff too? Oh, bad form to have you talking about work. I'm good to go. Onward to DP11. See you on the POTDWD. Thanks again.

    ISTSHOW/Advents. Can’t recall actually hearing any Advents though I’m sure BITD I must have?
    Using In the BR: assuming just for secondary listening, so probably ok for low level listening…
    I was going to say same as DMCVT (hola DMCVT by the way!) make sure you check the surrounds. Not just foam ones, though it looks like the advents have issues with that. Always check the surrounds of any old speaker as they tend to dry out and disintegrate. Happened to my McIntosh XR 7s. Lugged em back east to trade for a preamp, got to my buddies to pick him up to go to the store, my surrounds had started to go bad on the road trip, doooaaa.

    I didn’t know Mary Halvorson was a Jimi disciple, but really neat you got to meet her and pick her brain, as she truly has a unique “voice” to her playing. I became interested in her sound after the joint album she made with Bill Frisell (a guy who makes ANY album he plays on sound better), “The Maid With The Flaxen Hair”, so I picked up some of her Thumbscrew releases, and was not disappointed.

    As for Dartmouth, it really sounds like a really very hip place, music-wise!

    PS - That Trio of Chick with Blade & McBride was some of the best music I think Corea made, so a definite 5 star show to see. The first time I ever “saw” Brian Blade was when he accompanied Joni Mitchell for a New York Times Talk on stage for her 70th birthday celebration in Toronto - he was there as Joni’s “Plus One”, but no playing, unfortunately. Then I saw him a few years later backing Shorter - now I get why this guy is in such demand!

I forgot about Sabre Tooth!!! I actually found an article on the team mascots, virtually all are quasi-animals except the Devil in New Jersey, and now Buoy (see: Count Chocula) in Seattle. Only one team does not have a mascot? Which team doesn’t?

On the weekend sports, they showed the mascot from BYU prior to the BYU/Utah State game on Thursday - the arm strength this individual showed was incredible as they successfully climbed two columns of folding tables stacked on each other by jumping up on all fours like an actual cat, then launching a back somersault off the table, all in this cougar mascot get up. Holy chit!

Seem more suited to college than professional sports.

Just took a look at Buoy. Whoever decided upon that mascot should lose their job. All the effort that went into the design of those awesome jerseys was just wasted.

Psychedelics and alcohol. Back in the day I would drink prodigious amounts of alcohol while on them. Way more than usual.

On the other hand...there may be some circumstances when drinking on top of downers could be an advantage. If not a necessity.

DaveRock - Hockey is an acquired taste, I guess! I promise, once you have the bug, you’re hooked. Playing it helps.

While we are on the sports file, I have to wonder what is it about football (soccer here in NA) that drives fans insane?? My wife and I were watching this drama a few weeks ago called “Anne” on the Hillsborough disaster from 1989 (terrible), where 96 fans died due to a mad rush at the stadium, and then we read what happened in Indonesia on Friday. Then France had problems with fighting in the stands, teargas, etc. Tons of stories of “hooliganism”, and serious violence over football matches. Years ago, one of my brother’s friends went to visit Glasgow, where his parents were born and raised, and he thought he’d catch a match for one of the better clubs. He had no idea he had the “wrong jersey” on as he is headed to the game, as he got chased by a crowd for the longest time, and witnessed guys getting beaten up, etc. I love sports - passionately - but I’ve never ever understood the madness that can surround football/soccer? Rhetorical question, I know, maybe more an “I cannot believe it” when you read the death toll over these tragedies. WTF.

I must admit, I do have more than a few bugs myself.
Regarding violence at football matches, I do remember people in the 1970s who used to go to matches specifically to cause trouble. They weren't sports fans at all. I don't know how typical they were, but there did seem to a sort of subculture around football at that time which attracted idiots like that. Having said that, I used to go and see Manchester United from about 1968-1974, and I never had any trouble. Trouble everywhere else - but not there, surprisingly.

That Hillsborough tragedy was of a different order. From what I can remember that developed more due to mismanagement by the police and the football authorities based at the club rather than to the actual fans. Terrible.

You’re right, it appears Hillsborough was colossal mismanagement by the police, and we may find something similar played out in Indonesia.
Watch that “Anne” show if you can (Maxine Peake is outstanding as the title character), it is sobering what she went through to get the police to admit to any kind of culpability.
As for troublemakers, I think you may be right, because there isn’t a recipe for real nasty pricks that somehow doesn’t have alcohol abuse as an ingredient.

On a happier note, new music in today include Keith Jarrett’s newest (and possibly last), Julia Hulsmann Quartet (a German jazz pianist), and the Robben Ford/Bill Evans (sax) album. This on top of the Wilco box set that came yesterday, plus about six or seven other assorted CDs in the incoming tray, to be played. I gotta get to this stuff, so much on the go, but what a great dilemma to have - too much music. Wow.

Big fan of the Terrapin. Go figure.

The next Dave's Picks? I think the 60's slot has been filled with two new shows from that decade. We had a 77 and a 74. That leaves the 80's and 90's. My guess is he dips his big toe into the 90's, specifically 1991. Just a random guess.

Looking at "Shindig!" magazine - which comes out here about once every two months - I noticed a review of a new book on The Dead. Called " After All Is Said and Done: Taping The Grateful Dead 1965-1995" written by someone called Mark A. Rodriguez. Who he is, I know not, but the book is given the maximum 5 stars.

Excellent biopic. Loretta Lynn chose Sissy Spacek to play her in this 1980 movie and Sissy sang all the hit songs herself, won an Academy award for best actress. Levon Helm played Lynn's father and himself had one Bill Monroe song on the sound track album which went gold and won CMA Album of the Year.... and yes weirdness on the site, could not get to Dave's Picks 43 through the usual route.

Last night's show at the Beacon with TTB is already up on the archive, surprise guests: Jack and Jorma. Tribute to Janis: Turtle Blues, outstanding. Hot Tuna's opening set of about 45 minutes is posted separately.

My guess is also 90’s. We have had 77, 74 and 69. The box set is 81-83. After listening to Dave wax poetic about the fall of ‘94 on XM TIGDH, I’m wondering…

I was reading up on Loretta Lynn’s passing, and came across something kind of cool to me - it’s well known Loretta and her hubby moved from Kentucky to Washington state in the late 1950s to hopefully spark her singing career. The lady had talent, but needed opportunity and exposure.
In 1959, she was singing in a “converted chicken coup” (hey, a gig is a gig) in Vancouver, British Columbia, when the owner of a nascent Canadian record company called Zero Records (the future mayor of Vancouver was an early investor) saw her perform; he was so impressed by Ms Lynn, he brought his partner by the following day to hear her. Duly impressed, Ms Lynn was signed to Zero Records, and went on to record "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl." The rest, as they say, is history. Apparently, an historic plaque has been placed in the location of the “chicken coup”.
Next time I’m out that way visiting my eldest, I’ll have to scope this historic site out.

Also, on this day in 1962, two hallmarks of culture that still endure to this day got their start, in England: The first James Bond movie (Dr No) was released, as was the very first Beatles record, the single “Love Me Do”.

Mr Ones - I looked on Google Maps just to see if it was anywhere near where my kid lives (it’s not), but I’ll give him the address to scope it out. It appears it is a housing tract now, with a small parkette, but I read a few articles that state the place existed as a Hootnanny dance hall place. (See 2541 E Kent Ave N, Vancouver, BC). I will post a pic if I can get it.

Good to see they're reissuing Ace. Kind of a bummer there don't seem to be any tracks tracks from the original sessions. Also somewhat disappointing is that the bonus disc of live material is the snoozy Wolf Brozzz rather than GD. Ah well.

I agree with those who've guessed that the next Dave's is probably going to be a later '90s show, given that we've had '60s and '70s so far in this year's DaP series, and given that the big box was early '80s, and we had a 1990 show for DaP 40. But who knows? And even if it's a so-so '94 show or something like that, the 2022 DaPs have been so good so far I'm not going to complain. (Promise.)

I don't think we will be breaking into 94 any time soon, but you never know what Dave has up his sleeve.

I still believe two shows on four CDs from 91. I also have a feeling Dave might give us an 88 show or shows again. Last 88, not including TTATS, was RT. 4.2..... We should hear something next week.

For what it's worth.. My favorite 88's might just be the Greeks, not that I have listened to every show that year or anything. They were recorded nicely too, a bonus.

I still think '91, but a '68 or two would be mind blowing. Again, for what it's worth the Deer Creek shows last year sound really good. Not everything 90's turns to stone(d).

And to throw another joker into the deck,
Bruce sits in on 3-23-95 and it’s a pretty good show.
So how about a 95 DaP?

And to tie the joker in the deck with 007, Homer Simpson has a dream/vision where he’s a casino card dealer and he deals 007 a joker and then the ‘rules of poker’ card, or something like that.

Agreed Vguy it is ridiculous and no way it sells as well as the hatchet.
But will it outsell the garden trowel? Or the apron?
And don't feel dumb.
I had to look up what LMFAO is. Then I felt dumb.
Cheers

Old geezer time: stuff that we think was just a year ago is like ten years ago, and stuff that we thought was a while ago was just last year lol.
So I guess prices have gone up, sorry for bad intel.
As far as which one check out their comparison page.
I can’t personally say which is best as I’ve only heard the original a long time ago.
There are many of these USB DACs out there now, but the Audioquest ones always get good reviews.

1St Show - You are right, you leave one page here, you are in an alternate dimension, no way to easily get back. Dangerous stuff for a landing party on Dead.net

I remember years ago, my best friends older brother was at Ole Miss on a tennis scholarship, and he said the fungus grew crazy around the dorms. He said the guys would round up bags of them. Special Grateful Dead branded mushroom tools not needed.

with a heads up regarding construction activity in the Store, which many of you have noticed: Hey now! We’re updating a few things at the Dead.net store with an eye towards bringing you a better shopping experience. Thank you for your patience during this process and, if you have any questions, please contact our customer service team. -- Thank you and now back to your regularly scheduled DP43...

Did the comment section on new releases disappear? I just received my 3CD MSG show and… after taking a long, but much needed four month break from listening to the Dead, and anticipating a release comparable to ‘Go to Nassau’…let’s just say, I’m ready for another four month break…??? Anyone else very underwhelmed?
