    I actually never said that you can't post political things, what I originally said was "it'd be great if these forums could try to focus on the music, reddit does exist after all". To back that up, I gave an analogy which, because you missed it, is a comparison of sorts like how you wouldn't talk about Adam and Eve in biology class, not that you couldn't. If you were able to read rationally, you'd see that I, several times, said you can post whatever you'd like, but that's not the literal topic of this forum. Not really room for debate on that, just kind of obvious. Hey, maybe you didn't know there are forums out there on the web where you can discuss whatever the topic may be, it's really cool actually. Again, for a place that's designated as a discussion on Dave's Picks, we're not doing a whole lot of that, but hey is what it is, right? As for me being an election denier, thanks for the assumption, and I'd guess you're old enough to know what they say about assumptions, right? Also, you equating my suggestion to talk about the music more to a politician denying women the right to advocate for women's rights is just as ignorant as the politician. I'd suggest you just read a little slower or maybe throw some fine tunes on, smoke a big fat j and relax before you feel the need to take so hard of a stance.

    Jack - That halibut meal (sans artichokes) sounds amazing. A bunch of us had halibut on the weekend, but it was “Fries with that?” kind!
    Hey, didn’t I tell you and Oro those Sabres would be a team on the rise? Give them a couple of years.

    Headline in my news feed today: “Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson stubs out fans smoking bud at heavy metal concert”. I gather the bass player for IM has an aversion to cannabis. The times they are a changin’

    I just glanced at a couple articles so don’t really know much, so I’m not sure Jeff? It sounds like it just got invented so I’m guessing the Woodstock thing is something else?
    You can check out stuff on Peter Jackson’s Let It Be which is where and what for the tech was developed. Giles Martin has used it via PJ for Live at Hollywood Bowl and Revolver redos.
    Somewhere the description is used: I was given a cake and when finished I had eggs, flour, sugar, etc…
    Very interesting prospect. I just wonder how that effects the original sonics but I’m guessing GM wouldn’t let it get released on Beatles redos if it wasn’t proper?
    But yes Jim it does propose a Frankenstein esque scenario, and I’m not sure of anything anymore, but I’d bet the farm that some Deadheads would most certainly have some kind of problem with it, especially if it was good lol
    Theoretically this couid be a game changer for all old music…

    Separating Two Tracks

    Interesting sidebar. There is a part of me that is really curious about how this would work and sound. There is another part of me that wonders how this would be received if Norman et. al. adopted the technology and set it in motion. I remember the feedback he got when he messed with Phil's bass a dozen or so releases ago.

    My guess is even if the techology were rolled out so others could use it wouldn't necessarily go over well. Separating out the individual components from the two tracks and monkeying with the levels might drive some bonkers. I bet it would be controversial at best. Well.. at least had Bear, Betty & Co. to save us some of the agony.

    Be well folks.. play dead, get the vote out. ..or as DHBrewer says, be kind.. rewind (to 1969).

    Hey ORO, Didn't they use the same technology or a similar instrument-separating technology on the 50th anniversary mega box for Woodstock? IE: Got BS&T's individual horns, etc. back in tune, etc. Would be very cool if that became available for future and/or revisited Grateful Dead releases.

    Probably old news to many, but I only recently ran across this. It's sort of a poor-head's way to listen to individual players on the China-Rider; Bertha; Playing in the Band; Sugar Magnolia from Veneta 8/27/72:
    dead dot net/playingintheband

    Sorry, but my optimism for the future is very low these days. I always thought that TRUTH was not a fashion or something to be molded to fit one's personal world-view and needs. We are losing/have lost the ability to listen and learn from others. Daverock's quote bears repeating: "Think it possible that you may be mistaken."

    I'm having a problem following your posts. First, the Grateful Dead was/is a political band, you said so in your post. Mentioning the rainforest benefit shows in 88 and specifically calling out 5-6-70 right after Kent State, I'm presuming that you must mean Phil's comment after the show? We all said that multiple times back in the day. Then you say there is no room on this forum for politics? Sucks for you and all the people who want to talk about the band and the music? A bit inflexible I would say, but hey, that sucks for me. Your condescending tone about the internet being a big place and there are other places for me or anyone else to post about other topics than the music or the band is just like a politician telling a woman she doesn't have control over her own body. Somehow I get the feeling that I'm speaking to an election denier, and I know that is a waste of time so I will end with this You don't get to tell me where or what I can say, dig it? On this site, only MaryE gets to do that.

    Damn, that sounds wonderful! I was all "died down", then I see someone calling, I think, me a selfish asshole. At least I didn't see it to be directed elsewhere. So look someone's gonna throw mud around and not even have the decency to direct it at me, I'm not gonna be quiet. But I'm all done arguing over this nonsense. Seriously, talk about whatever you want, I'll just inject my thoughts on whatever the release might be.

    Dave's 2023 announced with 45 looking to represent two spectacular shows from 10/1 and 10/2/77. Hot take but I love the fall tour even more than the spring, though I won't sit here and say the spring is not audio gold. There's a great Miller remaster of the Betty boards on the archive, check those shows out if you're unfamiliar, they are hot hot hot. Scarlet > Fire on the second night is especially so and new minglewood on the first is my personal favorite. Always hoping for 6/10/73 and 6/21/80 (also 71) so we'll see if any of those are one of the later picks.

....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.

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!

....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 👍.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

....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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…)

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.
