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.

Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 43 was recorded by Owlsey "Bear" Stanley and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

Jack - I wouldn’t put $ on the Sabres to win it, but I do believe they are an up and coming team. And I really like that black & red “Dominik Hasek” jersey. As for a Canadian team winning it all…
Freezes over!

Releases I would like to see

I would like to see the whole Garcia 1987 Lunt- Fontanne Theatre run, acoustic and electric released in one box set.. The whole October 1974 Winterland run both audio and video released as a box set. Release the 1968 Grateful Dead tour of the Great Northwest, ( those tapes may be in Owsley's banana boxes). All the acoustic and e!ectric sets from the Fillmore West in 1970,( I'll bet those tapes are in the banana boxes). Single releases, 2/17/79 Oakland, 9/11/81. 7/13/84 Greek. , 10/9/82, 10/10/82, 4/27/85, 4/28/85 Frost. Just a short list, many more I'd like to see released

All good brother

Mike seems to think the Sabres have a good young team this year. Vegas disagrees. The odds makers give them the same chance as the Kraken to win the Stanley Cup. Not that I won’t watch, but I think I’m siding with Vegas on this one. Sorry Mike.

Colorado has a very strong chance of repeating. Since my Red Wings still suck, I’ll be backing Canadaland. Don’t let me down Mike. It’s been 30 years.

Oro,

I use “hate” the same way I say, “I want to kill that guy” when someone cuts me off in traffic. No offense intended in either situation.

Psychoacoustic enhancement/jerseys

AJS: hate is a strong word but yeah those jerseys weren’t my favorite. I think I was in the minority but I did really like the return to the classic colors but with the “slug” logo in the aughts I believe? Nothing beats the classic ones though.

COMPONENTS: are you happy with your sound? Unless your really unhappy with things, the urge to upgrade might just be upgradeitus. Though there have been technological advances, power Amps and speakers, if made well, do not necessarily have to be upgraded.
Physics is physics, but the current trends often try to employ reimagining the wheel which sometimes fosters noticeable improvement (but usually requires mucho denaros), but more often not.
A really well built set of speakers, still in good functional condition, especially if you like them, do not have to be upgraded, unless in the sense that you had say more budget consumer grade ones and could afford/wanted to get higher quality ones. I.e., those old cheap beat up entry level ones you got in collage but can now afford a new set of higher end ones. Even then, higher price is NOT a guarantee of higher quality/performance!
And always consider the laws of diminishing returns, although that can work both ways.
But as previously mentioned, maintain and keep an eye on speaker age issues (see back a few pages).

Same with a really well built amplifier.
Sources and pre amps and I’m guessing many of you use a multichannel “surround” set up for all your AV needs utilizing an AVR or Audio Video receiver, not so much.

If you can afford it, my opinion is you buy a really good separate Amp and speakers, but perhaps don’t go hog wild with the rest, unless you have the ways and means, but don’t feel obligated.

Why: physics and obsolescence. No matter how much folks today try to reinvent the wheel, physics is physics and the way most audio works is inherently related to it and thus changes little.
Sure they’ve made great improvements in class D amplification etc, but my experience is for a high end critical listening system Class D just doesn’t sound as euphonic as well built traditional amp formats (A or A/B).
Now these are generalizations, as of course there are exceptions in certain circumstances…
The situation is the boss! And your situation may vary.

But, it is usually true that your system is only as good as the weakest li n k

Since sources: Blu-ray, DVD, CD players, streamers etc, and receivers that also switch/pass video, or basically most modern digital gear all become obsolete so fast nowadays, these you might not need/want to drop too much money on since you’ll need to upgrade it sooner than later.
A common trick I’ve used for my surround system is to either do your HDMI switching via the TV or a dedicated HDMI switcher, not an AVR. Why, if you have good speakers and multichannel separate power amp, you can still use your perhaps outdated, but top quality pre pro or preamp for the audio. How you ask? Most Blu-ray players have 2 HDMI outputs just for this reason: one for video, one for audio. Most Cable and Sat boxes only decode Dolby Digital so you can use the coax digital output to your legacy pre amp (as long as it at least has digital inputs) and get the same signal.
If your gear is even older, you can use the analog out, but the DAC sets in these boxes, (computers, and most inexpensive equipment) are very cheap and extremely low quality.
This way you only have to occasionally upgrade the HDMI switcher (or TV) at usually a much lower cost than replacing a whole AVR with its pre amp/processing section, it’s power amp section, and all the other often useless crap they put in them. Most receivers only pass thru the video signal anyway, so to pay to replace the rest just to get the most updated video switching is inefficient and often unnecessary.
So the idea is to not be stingy about your amp (s) and speakers (your back end) since a good set will usually always play well and sound good with most decent front ends, and will likely last much longer than lesser ones.
I have some old McIntosh stuff that still kicks ass after decades, and I could sell for more than I payed!
I almost suffered from upgradeitus recently.
Since I can get things often at cost, I was interested in upgrading my approximately 30 year old C 40 preamp for a new one. But my ole gear head buddy, electrical engineer, and all around partner in crime BITD BOO469 talked me off the ledge mostly by asking me why. We both ended up realizing that for my 2 channel system, since I already have an expensive separate DAC: why would I pay simply for digital inputs I don’t really need. Would the analog section alone of the new pre be better or worth the cashish, than my old, probably built better purely analog preamp…probably not.
Also, since my old pre is completely analog, I theoretically could be paying for digital circuitry etc at the expense of the analog circuitry.
Everything has a build budget so the more stuff they put in a unit, is that much less money left for other things in the unit.
That’s another reason to consider separates. Separates USUALLY (all gear is not equal!) have better quality components, specifically engineered for only one or few tasks, especially power supplies, which is one of the most important parts of ANY gear! So better quality parts, engineered to do one thing, (versus many things like in a modern AVR) with a beefy power supply, will usually provide better all around performance, enjoyment and longevity than normal consumer grade all in one components. With class D amps it’s all about the PS so shop carefully!

So no matter what your into, or throw at it, a system with a good back end, sufficient for your type of use/requirements, that you would like to have/enjoy for many years, can be a sound (pun intended) investment. Spending large sums of money on gear that is probably obsolete before you get it home, and has components you don’t need because of redundancy of separates, is not recommended unless you can afford it and are that into having the latest and greatest.

Pay up now for good back end and it will save you money in the long run. The other stuff is a necessary evil, but be wary of obsolescence! And you can upgrade if/when you need or can afford, and have more to spend if you have good back end that doesn’t need replacing!
Also, follow the simple free tips we offered back a month or so on here about proper system placement and set up. Often this will give you as much noticeable positive changes, or more, than electronic upgrades.

GARY: have you a/b tested the HDCD, is the improvement HDCD, or just the new player itself, curious?
And 80 hertz is a starting point. Play around with your cross over frequency and the slope or roll offs as your specific room will effect bass as much or more than components.
My 2 channel has no subs as I don’t usually like subs with just stereo although with stand or smaller speakers they can be an improvement if used properly (whole nother long discussion there as most people do not). And my theatre speakers easily go down to at least 30hz (rated conservatively) and sound great in the room their in. So to use a sub normally, I’d have to roll them off a bit which I don’t like. So I only use my diy (old bass playing cab) of 2 15” JBL E140s, crossed over with a Furman crossover, powered by a dedicated Crest amp (approximately 800 watts) for LFE, or low frequency effects only. The JBLs don’t extend as low as I wish, but by adjusting the crossover manually while using I can dial in just the right amount depending on the mix etc. I usually xover around 30-40 hertz as I’m only trying to enhance the lows, not overpower, and my cab gets too midrange and/or overdriven if I run frequency too high. But I’m getting away from the main topic.
Same with those pile drivers. Your friend is right, different speakers may or may not affect the overall speaker impedance (their usually not exactly 4 or 8 ohms, and can actually vary with conditions), synergy, balance, timbre, and more. Trial and error is unfortunately usually the only way to find out!
Ok, hopefully I haven’t confused anyone or completely bored.
But obviously us geeks could go on all day lol.

Remember, if it’s worth playing, it’s worth playing loud, but loud must be clean to be enjoyed! ; )

EDIT: don’t skimp on conversion either!
Digital is not the problem conversion is! So consider a good separate DAC which should also not need to be upgraded so much, or, make sure you buy a pre amp or receiver with a good DAC set!
You can ridiculously upgrade the sound of your lap top for instance for like 50 bucks for a audio quest dragonfly usb DAC.

Key Largo

(The classic 1948 movie) is as close as this landlubber has ever come to a hurrican, (drop the e) as my wife's G-ma used to pronounce it. She was one of those who never evacuated although they were well positioned inland in Jacksonville and never had more than some shingles fly off. I'm sure she was one of those a little rain, a little wind folks. Rokko, Edward G. Robinson's character, was a tough guy until he felt one then scared to death of the thing. I got uneasy even standing next to a choppy sea. It's just so big it scares me. True landlubber.
I have heard that train roar though as a kid in St. Louis tornados. Fascinated me and my Mom would have to pull me away from the window because I just had to see what could make that much noise.
Best of luck FLA. Cheers

Edit: I stand corrected. My wife says G-ma was forced out by flooding from the nearby St. Johns River at least once.

Ha!

Nobody holds a candle to Sabre Tooth!

Even though I have a life long vendetta against the Donkeys being a long time Bills fan, I gotta say: Barrel Man Rocked!

BYU football mascot

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!

Mascots

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.

Hockey on the telly

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

Sports madness

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.

When you put it like that

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.

DaveRock

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.

44

I say DL2 goes with an 80's show & my prediction is 9/26/81, Buffalo, N.Y.

Mascots

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.

Dave's Pick #44 prediction

I'm guessing 9/19 & 20/70. Fillmore East, a double knockout release!

Thatmike

Cheers -I'll watch out for that film. I like watching/reading things about earlier decades that I lived through, but didn't necessarily understand at the time.

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.

DaveRock

Dave - That new Dead book you found out about on their taping history looks amazing, and would certainly find an audience among the crew here. A little short on funds myself at the moment, and never traded in tapes, but it looks great, so i will file that under “further review”.
Cheers!

RIP Loretta Lynn

Probably not everyone's cup of tea, but she was an original. Donna certainly liked her.

You ain't woman enough to take my man.

An American original..

Coal Miner's Daughter

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.

Loretta Lynn

RIP a true American original, she truly did have the music in her. Appalachian music is about as Americana as you can get. That and the Grateful Dead.

TTB w/ HT @ The Beacon, last night

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.

Re LL

You don't have to be a big fan to recognize greatness

A raise of the glass to Ms. Loretta Lynn, y'all.

44

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…

94?

I think there's a show from fall 94 with a great Morning Dew

Not sure of the exact date

A '90's Dave's....

....it's high time. There are some really good ones out there.

Trivia

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”.

Once in a while, you get shown the light
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Trivia and History

That's why I come here. The music is just a cover. Thanks Mike.

Guessing 91

9/26 or 6/22, or 10/31???

But I’d certainly take 9/26/81 Wissinom

That Mike

If you actually visit the Loretta Lynn site, take a photo. I for one would love to see the plaque.
I predict Dave's 44 will be a show featuring the Bill Kreutzman era.

Should find out in about 2 weeks!!

Mr Ones

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.
Music trivia is so cool.

Hello Hendrixfreak

Please check PMs.

Ace in the Hole

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.)

Crow Told Me

Snoozy! Ha!

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.

Mr Ones

Please see your PM

Greek 88

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).

JimInMD & That Mike

Check your PM's when you get a minute. Thanks!!

OROBOUROS

YES!!!!! I'd be very GRATEFUL with any of those 3 from '91 yet I always felt they would save 9/26 for a future box.

DaP44

I’m hoping 91.
Need some Bruce.

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.

Got my Garden box today

:))))))))))))))))))))

Waiting to listen this weekend

Soon

Loretta Lynn

Loretta's 2004 album, Van Lear Rose produced by Jack White, is worth a listen...

Enjoy!

XM radio is currently playing Shoreline 5.10.91....

....I was there. Release this!!

Alternate universe

Did I go into the dead.net void, where I had to change my username, and password? Now I'm back, and I did not like what I saw. What's up? P. S. - The whole site changed. With a scroll board, and everything.

Deadnet cannot locate my orders

I tried to order the ACE repress. They said my password and user name are incorrect. I requested numerous times to reset password but no reset emails came. I had to re-register with the same mail . Now my "old" orders do not exist even when I use the check order( which is on the right side of the shopping login page) with the order number and email. So yes we went into the deadnet void. Sure hope their are no issues with the last Dave's as I cannot track my order

Was browsing the store when....

....I see they have a Cosmic Mushroom Foraging tool for sale. LMFAO!!
Is that really a thing? I'm dying.

Yes, It's A Thing

And a pretty big thing in places like Telluride.
They have a fest for that.
Foodies, restaurants, heads all combing the forests.
Some quite valuable besides the blue ones we love.
Good late summer rains have made it a good year.
Fun in the woods!
Cheers
Oh, and if you're really into it you may have a trained dog or pet pig to find them for you. The nose knows.

Edit: Went into the "store" from here and could not get back to this side of things. Navigation issues with the redo.

Wow....

....do I feel stupid.

Oro - Dragonfly

Hi Oro, which Dragonfly do you reccommend for $50? Cheapest I see in a quick search is $119.

Speaking of "besides the blue ones we love"....

....check out the latest video by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Iron Lung. Wow!! And the song kicks ass too!

But Will It Sell

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

Sorry Nitecat

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.
