Dave’s 2023 shipping

Someone asked about international shipping. I ordered two copies and was charged 70 dollars. I thought it expensive but then thought divide by 4 for two hefty (yet still small) parcels to the U.K. and it’s not bad. I recently backed away from a (non-Dead) purchase where the postage was 1 1/2 times the cost of the cd.

Things are turning out real weird

Colin, I have just ordered mine, after having too update my address,and card details,password etc, after several attempts. It looks like they are still building the site,as it states they have no history of any of my past orders until someone updates the system.
That last Bears Sonic Journal was a good one, I had my ears prick up when I heard the 2 bodhrams playing,upon reading the booklet I discovered it was Bear working his magic on the microphones.Lots of fun.

Back ordered

What on earth does back ordered mean on an item, DaP#48, that isn’t due out for a year? Surely all 4 sets should be on back order since none of them currently exist.

Hi Gerd!

Good to see ya! My confirmation took a while.
Busiest first day of subscriptions I have seen.
Gotta be the "new" store site issues.

Althea comes to mind today.
How do those lyrics go?
Opinions on the best one?
Cheers

Edit: Subscription seaside chat. Actual quotes, not what I thought I heard. On box set (he says set, not plural), "We've got a great one!". On 1973 anniversaries, Dave mentions "we have two this year", but he gives no details there. Still hoping for more than one box and something I can afford.

Edit 2: OK, now I got an email saying DaP 48 is backordered. Say what? Deadnet does seem especially tech challenged this year.

Always A Day Late And A Dollar Short

There are times when I want to comment and don’t. At other times, I regret not commenting and it gets too late. However, I NEVER tire of visiting, reading and commenting.
So, please bear with me:

I believe that it’s perfectly ok to post about any topic you would like to (within reason of course). I mostly enjoy talking about other things in addition to the GOGD. I have learned about, and spent money on, many cds & a few books I never would have known about otherwise.
I don’t mind sports coming up, I love sports, although seemingly no one likes the same teams I like.
Even politics doesn’t bother me too much, even if it’s an opinion that differs from mine.
When it comes to ARGUING about an issue, that’s another matter entirely. We police ourselves pretty well on here, at least I think so.
Differing opinions (GD eras anyone??), really don’t seem to bother most of us.
Respect of others, and their right to volunteer an opinion is paramount. No one, I feel, has a right to an ongoing argument on this sight.
While I agree with a LOT of things discussed here, I certainly don’t agree with everything!!
My best response to a topic or opinion I don’t like, is no response at all. What’s that saying, If don’t have anything nice to say…”
There’s virtually no one on here that I could say I have a bone to pick with. C’mon people, we should OBVIOUSLY take care of each other.
There were a couple of times people have singled out DAVEROCK, and my first reaction to that was, what?? This guy ALWAYS has good stuff to share. There was ONE time he said something that I was surprised to hear, and except for this post now, NO ONE would have known that. And I maintain that if I ever get lucky enough to go to England a 3rd time, I would definitely see if it were feasible to meet up with him for great conversations.
Without a civil exchange of opinions/differences, how would we learn anything new?? An open mind is the best defense against differing views.

Please accept an apology for a long rant. I couldn’t help it.

Now, WTF?? I had NO IDEA Dave’s 2023 subs were available. I ALMOST bailed last year, and am glad I didn’t. I’m gonna pay the ticket, and take another ride!!

Lastly, my Ravens play Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football. I invite everyone to root for, or against them. I’m OK with that!!

Music is the Best!!

once again

you don't get to tell me what to say or do so I will agree with you that you are wrong. I don't really give a f^^k what you think. But your ramblings confirmed it for me that you are incapable of rational thought and therefore are not worth my time anymore to reply to, did I not make that clear? I don't want to take it privately, just so you know, I don't want to discuss anything with you, here or privately, do you understand now? Is that plain enough for you? And one other thing, take your condescending attitude and place it where the sun don't shine.

Another Layer of Polyphonic Tuning

Here's something posted a while back by Doormouse on a Steve Hoffman Woodstock forum:

"Andy Zax [who produced the 2019 WS mega-box] tells the story of how difficult it was to get all of the horns in tune on the Blood, Sweat and Tears performance in a Rhino podcast. He explains that all of the horns were confined to two of the available six tracks and that due to the conditions under which they were played and recorded they were out of tune making for uncomfortable listening and he explains that apart from one track on the fourtieth anniversary set nothing had appeared from this set in either the movie or on the soundtrack albums. Initially, as was the case with the Ravi Shankar set, the producers believed that the techniques used for demixing at Abbey Road Studios may provide the answer but ultimately it was developments in ‘polyphonic tuning’ that allowed the issues to be solved. This is a form of autotune but is tailored to the individual instruments to alleviate the problems caused by the less than ideal recording environment. The band were at a particular high point and were unhappy to have the recordings released with the tuning issues, over which they had no control, in play. And, in spite of the sax player, Fred Lipsius, stating that this was their worst gig ever, the result here is a triumph of modern audio mixing technology over the horrific environmental setting of the original mult-track recording. As a fifty year old record of a big band recorded in a muddy field in the cold, wet, early hours of the morning I guess you could say it is a magnificent achievement to all concerned."

I agree that, for the most part, nobody in their right mind would want to be responsible for deciding how to rebalance players on a hallowed Grateful Dead recording. Still, there could be times when technical shortcomings of a recording might be repaired with a tool like this.

Vguy and the splinters

You saw the remake of Pinocchio?

They changed the theme song to "Love is a many splintered thing"

....this was a totally fucked up movie. But in a really weird, almost unsettling, but creative way. I had no idea what I was getting into when I watched it for the first time like 5 years ago. I sort of didn't no how to react to it....part awe, part fascination, big doses of squeamishness, a lot of eerie moments. Not for the faint of heart, but yes if you like shit that is totally off the wall. At this time, I'm not even sure what this movie was about in recollection, other than these images and feelings it conjures when I think about it.

Sixtus

Creature Double Feature……

Every Saturday afternoon at 1 pm on Channel 56 out of Boston. Loved those old school, campy horror flicks. The Wasp Woman, Invisible Man, Creature from the Black Lagoon and all the other classic misfits.

Those were the days. Just remember to adjust your UHF antenna appropriately!

Charles Theatre- now that…

Charles Theatre- now that brings back memories..they'd have themed events and J. Waters and Divine would make an appearance when his films would show...fog is lifting

Next up?....

....Rob Zombies The Devils Rejects. That's a good one.
His Munsters remake though? Don't waste your time.
Stay with what you're good at Rob. Which is gore. Not family friendly drivel.
Regarding old school, campy films, Mystery Science Theater 3000 does a good job making fun of them 👍.

The horror....the horror

Nappy - that must have been great, to see Black Sunday at the cinema when you were young. Features the luminescent Barbara Steele as well.
It's selling Eraserhead short a bit, referring to it as a "horror film". It doesn't really fit into any genre. None that I am aware of anyway. I don't think the plot is actually that important. More of a mood - a waking nightmare that defies logic.
Suspiria is a bit like that. Some amazing set pieces, incredible over saturated colour and a great soundtrack by the Italian prog rock group Goblin. There is no need to try and follow what's going on - its just a real feast for the senses.

Dennis-they have some great B movies on British TV at the moment too. The Last one I saw was a William Castle film called "Homicidal." 15 minutes before the end they had what they called a "fright break" so if anybody found the film too much, they could leave, and be seen by a nurse in the foyer in case they were at risk of having a heart attack!

Svengoolie

On Me-TV maybe out of Chicago as he calls Berwin home.
Every week has all the cornball 50s sci-fi and humorous ones too.
Great selection but as it's on every week lots of repeats.
He avoids the gory stuff but you have to put up with really bad jokes, skits, and rubber chickens flying. I think the 50 ft. woman one was on a couple months ago. (We caught that car switch too Dennis!) Last Sat night he did Bride of Frankenstein. She's a hotty with that hair, LOL. And "just a little nervous from the fall" to bring it back to the Dead.
Cheers
Edit: The "store" weirdness continues. Just got an email from someone named Mac at support about my order status inquiry but I never placed any inquiry. Says my order went through and gave me the same order number I already had, so I guess it's all good even if confusing.

Berywn outside of…

Berywn outside of philadelphia

Is chicago.

Berwyn

Yes, there's one in Illinois too.
His accent is a dead giveaway as well.
Cheers

Lynch

Agree, not his best work but Eraserhead came early in his career and was made with almost no budget. I think he was pretty much an unknown when it came out.

I read somewhere it was inspired by his experience having his first child and how weird/strange/whatever being a new parent can be.

This and the Wall have to be the worst moves to see on acid. Not speaking from experience but I know it's been done. I was with somebody that saw The Wall dosed. Didn't seem like a good idea to me.

Gorge 98

Holy Crap! I just read vguy's post about the new Phish box. I had just moved to Seattle a year earlier, and everyone said "gotta see the Gorge" So I took a chance on Phish who I had never seen before but obviously knew about. These shows are legendary, I just didn't know it at the time.

Legendary Gorge shows....

....those were probably my 12th or 13th shows and I knew during the setbreak of the second night that we were witnessing something special. Then that second set of the second night started. Even my wife was like, "WOW!!!", and she was just a casual phan. Plus. The camping scene was stuff legends are made of.
Top shelf Phish.
Saw them there in '97 also, sans girlfriend/now wife. The only times I've been there. Need to go back one day.
After those shows. We drove south and saw the Shoreline show and the Ventura show, which is also officially released. The band was en fuego that year.
Now, my wife could care less about Phish. I think I overdosed her on them.

Can't get order thru for Dave's Picks...

Is it only me? I tried last night and again this morning to order the 2023 series, and when I enter all info and click on Buy Now, nothing happens, except a red do not enter circle is over Buy Now when I move the mouse over it Help?

Got the notice...

that mine is on the way...also Revolver deluxe on the way. And the World Series starts tomorrow. What to do, what to do. Well, I just saw a Falcon 9 blast off from Vandenberg a few minutes ago, and I'm about to dig into 9/21/82 with some super silver haze. Saw Nick Mason's Saucer Full of Secrets last night. The tour ends in Oakland tomorrow and then Seattle. Go if you can! AAAAHHHOOOO

I've heard grate things about Mason's band....

....and Big Brownie just solidified it.
Saw that Revolver release. Expensive.
$110 on Amazon for 5 discs?
I love The Beatles. First music I ever got into, but damn. Laughs in Phish.
Actually. I unintentionally lied. My first music was K-Tel records. I was 8.

Thank you DCMVT

The 10% off code worked for my Dave's 2023 subscription just now. (I didn't have any of the problems other folks have mentioned with submitting the order, but I ordered as a "guest".)
And, I received my DaP 44 shipping notice this morning.

aikon

sshhhh.. it's on the downlow. But we all love Vermont

$110 for Revolver?

preposterous.

On the flipside....

....Brownie got to watch a Falcon 9 launch live. And then super silver haze.
We have Wedding Cake down here.
So even I say.
Regarding the WS, I don't like either team. So to hockey I will probably go.
9.21.82 is really good.

Less is more

I like a 45 minute Playin' as much as the next man but sometimes less is more. My wife's playing one of her favourite albums, The Boy With The Arab Strap by Belle and Sebastian, at the moment. The track Simple Things comes in at 1 minute 44 seconds and it's absolutely perfect. It's a good record, give it a listen.

Empty Mailbox

Remember when they tried to deliver them on the release date? It actually happened once.

Nick - Short

If you like them short and sweet check out The Residents' "Commerical" album,,, all songs are 1 minute long. Great album.

Short little ditties....

....may I suggest the classic release, Speak English Or Die by The Stormtroopers Of Death. Or SOD as the cool kids call them.

poetry, FZ, VT

Glad to read the discount code is working, hope many might use it, it probably works for WMG to sell more product anyway. Too bad now is unlike back in the day when individual Europe 72 shows, Road Trips and more music from archives readily available here. Nick1234, good to see your post hope all goes well in Shetland. Sent a PM a while back but it might not have got through, regarding an anthology of Scottish Island poetry found, which seems excellent: "These Islands, We Sing". Great to see Gaelic language in verse, even if indecipherable as English is usually provided as well. Hearing Gaelic spoken is something else, know local dialect in Shetland is much influenced by Norwegian effects. Had first disc listen to Zappa '75 yesterday, two stop tour of communist Yugoslavia, Zagreb and Ljubljana. Its a bit rough for an official release, particularly some saturated vocals, but so historic... Frank's guitar work is outstanding and Terry Bozio, what a drummer. Since Vermont has been outed (thanks Jim!), notes for anyone heading this way, most of fall foliage color has hit the ground, ski season is just around the corner at the big mountains and the launch of retail cannabis is very typically super slow, growers were licensed a bit late and this being a small craft oriented place. Check Heady Vermont on line for details. New Hampster is now surrounded by states with retail and trying to figure out how to sell more booze, with no sales tax, their major revenue stream.

NH Rocks!

DMCVT - I will concur, Vermont is a beautiful state, I have always enjoyed the sights. You mention New Hampshire, too, and I recall a family vacation on the NH shore in the 60s that was remarkable. My father made a really big deal of going by “The Old Man of the Mountain”, which was quite neat to see, then, and the times I saw it since (until it’s collapse, of course). The parents were big on Cape Cod for summer vacations, and we had family in Quincy (still do), so New England was a terrific place to visit, absolutely beautiful. Real nice folks, too! Thanks for the reminder of that memory!

Oro - If you are not charming the ladies of Colorado, or working hard/hardly working, please check your PM.

Dennis at the Blue Note

Dennis: Blue Note Records has a big Halloween sale on now, some pretty spooktacular (sorry, couldn’t resist) savings on vinyl. Might be worth a look.

DMCVT

Sorry for not replying to your PM, I never check them, and sorry to Daverock too. That anthology looks well worth looking into, thanks. Life here in Shetland is idyllic at the moment but winter's coming 😁. The Shetland accent/dialect is beautiful. Our closest neighbour's family has lived in the same house since 1854 and though I love to hear him speak I probably understand about half of what he says to me. I seem to nod and smile in the right places though 😀. The old Shetland language was Norn but the last speaker died in about 1850.

and that large sucking sound...

Ok, I ordered the Zappa 75 from Amazon, then I saw a good price on whippets (600 for under 200). By the time I got to the Blue Note Collection my wife was out of money. So Blue Note another day.

God this site could break a brother.

Looks like next week a lot will be pouring in.

Messages

I've checked my messages for the first time here and I see there are messages that I haven't replied to dating back to 2009. Sorry everyone. Is there a way to be notified when a message is received?

Nick1234....

....not that I know of.

GarciaLive19…….

Is in the house, and no, I didn’t order from Amazon. Musictoday got it here right on time and it sounds mighty fine. Just wrapping up the first set now.

You folks have great taste! + MSG box

Love me some SOD and Scott Ian.

"I woke up, can't wait to eat
Got my cereal; boy, was I beat
Opened the fridge, and to my dismay
There was no milk; my mother will pay"

Glad to report there's no pitch issues on any of the MSG box shows, speed is right on. Bob shows up for the '83 shows. Some really good stuff in there, notwithstanding Jerry's voice in 82/83

RIP Jerry Lee Lewis

Another original gone. Goodness Gracious.

Revolver and Stuff

The deluxe CD set is 25 bucks plus shipping.

I Like Wedding Cake, too.

Jerry Lee Lewis? Honestly, he had to be the oldest living rock 'n roller.

Mike

Nothing new PM box, just one from 10/25 about tracking etc?
Quincy? Isn’t Carlo from around there?
My ole man’s peeps are from Maaaablehead

The Killer, I’d say rip but I’m not sure he’d know how lol

Oro

You say that your grandparents are from Marblenoggin?

a toast to JLL

he's gone

and now, because I am irked at my bitter, I mean, better half...

I demand the artwork for these Davez be something more mature than cartoons and silly crap.

Hear me now and believe me later, I will be heard. If I don't get my way, I will boycott! Boycott, I say!

Cousins knows of SOD!!...

....as Darth Vader would say, "impressive".
The 5 disc Revolver is $25? Where are you finding this?

Miscellaneous

Oro - No, that’s the one, I wasn’t sure you had seen it, all good. So your Dad hails from Mass? Nice area. Saw my first (only) shark off the Cape while on a deep sea fishing trip there. A fantastic holiday place for a kid back then, no idea now.

Dennis - Blue Note generally aligns their biggie sales around major holidays, so I would expect a big sale as Thanksgiving approaches. Sure, the prices won’t be as spooktacular….(I’ll stop. Right after Halloween…)

SOD/MOD - JLL

Gotta' love Billy Milano - not for the faint of heart though. Anthrax was a great live band!

Jerry Lee and the Dead shared a few covers: CC Rider, Me & Bobbie McGee, Lovelight, Seasons of my Heart, Green Green Grass of Home, Rockin' Pneumonia, You Win Again, Muddy Waters, and more...

Revolver CD

is a 2 disc set for 25 bucks, and it's called deluxe. The LP complete is like 200 dollars

Correction....

....Anthrax is STILL a great live band. Saw them open for Slayer a few years ago. Slayer played the complete Reign In Blood album 🤘.
Sadly, they are no more.

Anthrax - Revolver

Didn't know Anthrax was still around; saw them in '87 during the Among the Living tour, great show. Caught Slayer a year later for the South of Heaven tour. Tons of great Thrash shows in the Bay Area then, hard to keep up with on top of the Dead and more.

The 5 CD Revolver is $109, vinyl, 7 EPs Half Speed masters is $188 on the Amazons. Don't think it ever needed remastering, but the outtakes would be nice.
