    I love the drama queens. Somebody barely touches them and they go down in a heap looking for the penalty. And when they don't get one the histrionics are laughable. True in other sports too but just more noticeable in soccer. But the US player did get the hardest knee to the crotch I've ever seen. Down for the count. I'm a Messi fan. Dude is unstoppable. Generally would rather watch hockey than futbol or football.
    By the way, where is the Jam of the Week?
    Today's music recommendation: The Golden Gate Quartet doing the spiritual Go Where I Send Thee. Great harmonies!

    It's not well regarded, but I played this posthumous Hendrix album earlier in the week, and it really hangs together well. Those instrumentals are out of this world. It does seem ridiculous, adding and subtracting instruments decades after the originals were cut - but the end result is pretty good.

    I'd buy a 66-70 box set in a heart beat. If I could work out how you do it - looks a bit trickier these days.

    With the World Cup, as with anything else, I always back the underdog. The more big teams get knocked out the better. As Chuck Berry said - "Such a sight to see/Somebody steal the show". I'm not too keen on the way some of them act after they score a goal, either. That bloke called Grealish qualifies as the most irritating so far.
    All best experienced with the commentary turned down and the music turned up.

    PF, I’m sorry at your misfortune, but that is too damn funny!
    Think I would have gone somewhere else to keep sleeping and just left it lol.
    Why is it women blame us for these unfortunate anomalies?

    68 Box: hey don’t get me wrong, I’m in anytime, I just wonder if outside of the freak zone bubble we live in, if your average casual fan would be? I agree about all that power etc, in fact, funny story: back when we were basically kids and we’d go to parties, we always got stuck outside by the keg with the heavy metalers. Generally they didn’t dig the dead, but we all knew each other and got along, and both factions appreciated some of the similarities in say culture, and both were proud of our outsider status, and hey, at least we weren’t preppy jocks lol.
    So if we put say, Blues for Allah on, they’d give us shit, BUT, if Anthem ( or they really liked first album!) or some primal Dead was snuck in, they’d often dig it. The first time we played Anthem they couldn’t believe it was the Dead!
    They were like “who’s this, it’s cool?” After we’d tell ‘em who it was, being proud metalers they’d have to feign righteous indignation lol.
    I just wonder out my ass if the repetition and less professional elements would resonate with yer weekend fringe fan?
    Guess part might depend on box size, and part on number of boxes?
    But from inside the freak bubble, I’m sure we’d all like to find out!
    I mean many of “us” would gobble that shit up faster than HST with a fresh tab of acid, but “them”, and you have to consider them, because I don’t think there’s that many of “us”, so that’s the only reason I pondered the idea…

    I still would prefer one big muscular Primal 66 through 70 beast! It would be a good way to put out some of the really early stuff that might be hard to market on its own? Tid bits etc, bits and pieces, short shows, big jams, partials. You could lump all kinds of cool shit together that on their own might not have the clout.
    But in a historical presentation, taking the best stuff from different years, and perhaps weighted more on the back end years, think about it? Say a disc or 2 of 66-67, you could use one disc shows from 68, say three or four shows, throw in a run of 69 from say the Ark, or Avalon, a couple late 69, possibly with some acoustic, and finish it off with similar from 1970!
    Sure it’d be big and expensive, but for the old tops here, besides a killer primal set, maybe they feel they have enough other stuff already and aren’t interested at all in later years? So well then think of it as one last blast of R &R, one final big score of scores! If it’s possibly your last one, why not go big!
    Just a thought…?

    PF, glad you found your way home, and glad your gonna stick around awhile!

    Oh yeah…and what ABOUT Gainesville, tap, tap, tap…

    hey now

    after a trip lost in space I have stumbled my way back to this site. It was a weird trip that would not allow communications with fellow intrepid travelers or home base. Upon my arrival I learn of Christine's untimely death. She had been part of Fleetwood Mac since 1970, was there when Danny Kerwain was in the band, after Peter Green left she was there, she was there when the great guitarist Bob Welch was in the band and she was there when Lindsey and Stevie joined the group. Never a scene stealer, she allowed Lindsey and Stevie to thrive and grow with the band. Always humble her writings were just "little ditties" that she penned that almost always became hits. Never outspoken but always humble she was the epitome of classic rock female musicians. I miss her already.
    I was lucky enough to witness the Mac a couple of times, once in 71 and once again in 74 and then the last time when they all got back together after that long hiatus in 97? She had an awesome stage presence and held her own alongside these great musicians mentioned above. I was never much of a fan of Stevie Nicks, fun to look at back in the day but their music became homogenized in my opinion when they joined. Although I did enjoy the Buckingham/Nicks lp when it came out.
    Daverock, not being a fan of the Mac try the lp Mystery to Me or Bare Trees or Future Games or Heroes or hard to Find. All pre-Lindsey and Stevie. Also, their lps with Peter Green would be right up your alley. Bob Welch passed away a while back, I always thought it was a mistake to fire Bob from the Mac, but I was wrong, they made it big time after he left.
    Jimi turns 80, wow, where has the time gone? I have always wondered what he would be playing and producing now, if he had hung around. Electric Ladyland is still played here, also Cry of Love, an underrated lp, and of course the psychedelic Axis-Bold as Love is a Masterpiece. As later posthumously released music was available, I think he would have gone to experimental blues or jazz aka Miles with a guitar.
    A great anniversary came and went without much mention here, 11-29-80, the Grateful Dead live at Alligator Alley Gym in Gainesville, Fl. The first Shakedown>Franklins tower. A great show that hopefully the soundboard will be found one day.
    Will a box of grate 68 Dead sell? I say yes and put me on the "Buy" side of that vote. Perhaps a poll to see if there is interest?
    Glad you are on the mend HF, sucks not to be well. I mentioned the Petty box a while back, looks great and I will try to pick it up, cost may be prohibitive. Speaking of Petty, Stevie was indoctrinated into the Heartbreakers and played with them a couple of times, she seem a good fit for that band, she can rock, just not my cup of tea.
    Vascular doctor says no operation needed at this time, but we will be watching and waiting as aneurysms don't heal themselves. Dr said that some people have them all their lives and don't even know they have one, found mine when they were doing an ultrasound of my liver.
    Looks like I'll be around for a few more _________(fill in the blank) we never know so live baby, live.

    Good band, but not my topic.
    These last few days of posts are my favorite type. Friendly, encouraging, supportive and like……family!!
    I had a cd of the Betty Nelson Raspberry Farm show 20 years ago. Went to play it 2 weeks ago and-disc rot. Arrggghhhh! Would LOVE to see it released.
    My feeling, we have folks who prefer early, primal Dead. We have folks who prefer post ‘77 Dead, and most are probably up for anything. I would be shocked if a ‘68 box didn’t sell out super fast. And if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, well, not much is loved by all (see past discussions). Should not be a big deal.
    I DO agree that the older lot of us (yes, that’s me too) would like to see more early, primal Dead before we leave this beautiful planet.

    Regarding World Cup-there’s only 3 countries that I’ve ever rooted for: US, England, Holland.

    Today, obviously pulling hard for US. If our side loses today, I’ll be for England, then the Dutch.
    After that, I really don’t have a rooting interest, although Japan look disciplined, and fun.

    So, WC starts in less than an hour. After that, it’s music, music, music. Because…

    1968 etc

    Dennis - thanks for the heads up about that Hawkwind album. A recent live recording featuring a selection of new tracks peppered with tracks from the 70's. Looks good. Not sure about the idea of covering Tom Jones "It's Not Unusual", but I guess if you have been touring for over 50 years and are over 80, you can sing what you damn well like.

    Oro - I seemed to miss out on Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac, too. I did get an album by John Mayall, called "Hard Road" that featured him, which was pretty good. I saw him live once, too, about 23 years ago at a blues festival. It felt a bit sad, though.

    I'm a bit surprised people here think 1968 would be hard sell. Maybe it's just a case of - because I like it every once else should too. But of all the various eras and styles of playing - the shows from this year really blow out the fuses like never again. You don't need to know a thing about them to recognise the power. Maybe shows from this year would appeal more to non Deadheads than Deadheads. I think yer average Hawkwind fan, should there be such a beast, would prefer "Anthem" to anything else in the Dead's back catalogue.
    1966 to the first half of 1967 - now that I can imagine being less popular. Interesting, for sure, and historically important..but still formative to my ears.

    I get the feeling not all the shows that circulate are in the vault. Just a feeling.. but I think we would have seen at least another release or two from this year. The last 68 release was 2015, and before that 2009, before that 2001.

    That's Bananas.

    MR PC, glad you didn’t go quitting on us, we need the entertainment (and twisted wisdom ; )
    Glad to see your mind is still moving fast even if your heart needed to slow down lol. JK of course…rest up and be well soon amigo!
    Yassss, puzzling the apparent resistance to 68?
    I agree that an all 68 might not sell so well overall, but I think a primal box of 67-70 would!
    There’d be enough variety in there to attract fence sitters, and it would be a great historical showcase of the rapid transition that took place over those years.

    SMALL BOXES: their ok, I’m just worried if Dave is on the 20 year plan he alludes too, that we need more shows while we can get em, not less! So if small boxes, then perhaps do 2 a year, or 1 big, 1 small…just my two centavos…

    Four Winds blow CM…
    Saw the Mac in 78 when they still sorta ruled the world. Bob Welch, Pablo Cruise, Foreigner and F.M. as the headliner.
    Only went just to go, wasn’t really a fan, but the Mac ended up really surprising my 15 year old melon!
    Will always have a sharp memory of SN and LB playing You Can Go Your Own Way like they ment it more than anything in the world, very intense! Just glaring at each other the whole song! LB, with no pick, was playing his White Les Paul so hard he broke multiple strings!
    By then you could just tell something was up between them even back then as a clueless kid with no internet.
    One of my top R&R moments from my personal history. Think I liked Christine better than Stevie though?

    FUTBALL: I tightened up the homeboys on the job site with a tv the other day so they could watch Mexico during their lunch break. Now I don’t speak espanol, but man those boys were getting into it like any NFL fans I’ve ever seen. Good game from the bit I watched. Don’t get how they won the game but still were out though?

    DAVEROCK: that was too funny about the English team lol.
    I’m surprised you never got into early Mac with Peter Green et el as they were English, late sixties/early seventies and more blues oriented, or right up your alley?

    KUVO, good news there 1st show, only wish they still broadcast up here on FM…used to be my default in the car.

    Howdy DMCVT, yeah dug that Raspberry farm show at POTD via Docs recommendation! Good sheet Mon, more, more, more por favor!
    Happy Friday ladies and germs, hope the white ribbon of death doesn’t shut down before I get home tonight.
    Now that there’s so many people here and many not experienced in mountain winter driving, it seems like the highway shuts down every time it snows, ugghhhh.

I wish you called the cops, that's assault and battery and with a concealed weapon probably aggrevated assault. If you're over 65 you're in a protected class. Did it bruise where he grabbed you? Aggrevated assault. It was a politically motivated incident so that's a hate crime as well. You could have put that guy in jail and made headlines against the cheeto.

Unless, unless, unless,
DaP46 w/ bonus, the bonus discs with the 50th studio albums, and the Box, all combine for an even larger Box.

as to DP 46 that is. The suggestions might be generalized as clustering around '72-'74, but Billy the Kidd really rang the carnival bell with a bold and near-and-dear to my heart '68, hedged with '69-'70.

I'd just say that they're running low on '74 show tapes; there are a finite (but recently increased) number of '68 tapes; and yes, will they go with or avoid synergy between a Dave's and the annual box.

Six-show boxes seem to be a thing. How far will they go tying 2023 to 1973? You know they're gonna do a 50th Wake of the Flood, the question there is how closely will they tie the bonus live material? Especially given the question of whether they feel the box has to tie in to the 50th as well. And still leave something in the vault for the future. I can't get my mind around the fact that the PNW box came out five years ago.

My gawd! Jim -- did you throw that lever in the Wayback Machine marked "DO NOT THROW THIS LEVER!!" ???

One door opens in front of me, a thousand close behind. Every step is a new world. Either that or I'm doing a bad imitation of Forensic Doc's zen koans!!

Somebody HEP ME!!! (Oh no, now I'm thinking the final scene in the original "The Fly"!!!!!!!!)

Actually, I jumped on the forum to post that DP 44 is a fun show and the band seems in fine fettle, especially Jer. Not happy with Phil's zooming on bass -- seems lazy and unmusical. Nor does thunder help LLR. Otherwise this sucker rocks! Pleased, for a '90. (Now "The Fly" has been replaced by an insatiable urge for a "90 Shilling"... Jim! Smash the glass! Throw the freakin' lever! Ignore all warnings!

Ah, folks, this has been a trying day. Time for a puff, a shot, a Spaten Munich lager and an electric guitar. [Camera fades to black as protagonist fades into couch..................]

Nobody deserves that Vguy and your response was more courageous than I think I would have managed. And definitely not judging you, just saying, this guy you encountered sounded like he had a screw loose. And honestly I get mad to think he feels he owns the street like that or in this case a grocery store. Maybe the next guy he sees wearing a Biden shirt or putting up a Dem sign gets worse than a grab to the arm.

....you don't see Biden shirts. You don't see Biden flags. You don't see very many Biden bumper stickers. Because sane people don't worship politicians and put them on pedestals.
Shits changed so much on the past 6 years it's exhausting.
Btw. I'm not a huge Biden fan either, but I'd rather vote for a wet sock than

I feel like DaP 46 has to be something in the 68-74 range. Now I know that is very broad. Maybe it will be some of those September 1970 shows? Or something else from that year? Maybe Dave will dip into 1968. I just feel like that one will be something from that time period that we have wanted for a long while.

I think Wake of the Flood will get a companion 1973 show attached to its 50th anniversary release (how about 2/15/73, one of my favorites?)

Bear's Choice also has it's 50th anniversary so that might be the one that gives more 1970 show(s). They could fill out more from the February Fillmore East run but I am fine if they change course and go with a 1970 show from later in the year. As long we get a heavy dose of Pigpen, as Bear's Choice was for him, well I am good.

If the 2023 box is from 1973, I can easily see 6/9, 6/10. 7/27, and 7/28 being the shows that make up the bulk of it. However, I am not opposed if Dave went in a different direction for a 1973 box as well.

Finally, I am calling this now: For either DaP 47 or 48 Dave and CO will finally give us a summer of 1985 show, maybe 2 even shows for another 4 disc release.

Seeing the movie last week got me all riled up for all things '72...I started working for the Cal Forestry mid January '72...I was about 30 miles north of Weott CA on Ave Of The Giants...about two months later I was moved to a forestry camp outside of San Luis Obispo on the road to Morro Bay...I took a leave of absence for three weeks in June...why? Cuz I needed to see the Rolling Stones at The Long Beach Arena, Dead at the Hollywood Bowl and follow that up with Zeppelin again at Long Beach...spent the rest of the Summer driving back and forth between our SLO camp and a spike camp we had in Big Sur...harsh job, que no? that September a friend of mine and I took a train to LA from SLO to see two Dead shows at The Hollywood Palladium....had to miss Pink Floyd at the Bowl doing Dark Side though...come December I went home to visit familia for Christmas, eat tamales and see the Dead at Long Beach...yes yes yes....I think I was the youngest at the movie meet up last week, about 20 of us all told, the 1:00 PM showing...

Happy Name Day NappyRags! Hope you enjoy the next trip around the sun and many more to come.

So today is a show day for me, as is this Friday - going to see my first ever live Goose show in Portland Maine tonight; they are sharing the bill with The Trey Anastasio Band, each doing a 90 minute set with flip flops and mashups expected. Goose vaulted onto my radar over the summer, when Trey sat in with them at Radio City for one set in late June. I was fixated. I had seen them perform at the 420 Festival earlier this spring, as well as at Boston calling later in May, but they didn't really resonate fully until my strict attention had been applied. What a rabbit hole this has been and am looking forward to some new experiences and live grooves. And interesting switch-a-roos of the teams.

I'm enjoying Dave's 44 immensely, given this show was right in the wheelhouse of my first show in Buffalo less than a month later. That sweet & drippy Eyes to open the 2nd is like a warm blanket.

Be Well People!

Dennis - While I wait and wait for 44, I was catching up on all things Dead, and I’m still phucing laughing at your Andy Williams-Sopranos bio: “ Don't let the sweaters fool ya. Andy could cut a bitch faster than you could say Englebert Humperdink!”

Sorry about the lunatic, I'm not here to talk politics, but when someone can't even handle someone wearing a shirt you don't like, he might want to re-consider his "values" and consider some sort of cult intervention. I've got this GRATE shirt, it says "Will you shut up, man? - Biden 2020" Gotten some dirty looks (grow up snowflakes) but nothing physical. If I feel something like that could go down I reach for the phone and put the camera on video immediately. Wear it with pride bro!

Tracking info says it arrived in town 12 days ago and still not out for delivery. I guess if it had to be my turn with delivery issues, I’m OK with it being this release.

And for all of you who listened to my advice, not to get mixed up with bitcoin, you’re welcome.

Read 9 pages to see what happened. Completely unbelievable story Vguy72 but I guess I should not be surprised these days. Sorry for your scary episode. Like the other dude said, you should go back and file a report there has to be store video of it. You got off without him drawing on you, but someone else may not be so lucky. I can't recite the law the way that guy did but the way he used language with you like "our message" sounds like he was not just your average idiot voter. He sounds like he belongs to a group of idiot voters. Hearing you telling about his crazed eyes and beat red face. I really hope this guy isn't gonna snap somewhere else. Sounds like there's plenty of Biden shirts out there, so I don't know how much your theory holds up, but I want a Biden "will you shut up man shirt". Good one Burnsey.

....got em all lined up. Pretty.
And, I will say once again. That encounter was a blur. I didn't know what to think or how to react. I was caught off guard, but I think I handled it well. In fact. I know I did.
Seems I'm very approachable, for good or ill. I just try to smile at everyone I meet and look at them and make eye contact. Definitely not an introvert here because people (mostly) are awesome.
My job requires me to meet and greet several every day.
I forgot the cream cheese btw, but I wasn't about to go back in the store ha!
Random event that ended ok and I know the people around me had my back.
I just got a Phish Food tie-dye delivered today from Dry Goods.
I will wear it often and hope I don't make lactose intolerant people upset.
The Grateful Dead should put out a Cherry Garcia version. I'd buy it.
Mental health in this country needs to be addressed as well, but I digress.
Surround yourselves with people that are kind minded and you are already ahead of the curve. Peace.

I'd like to step up on my soapbox for a bit...On Nov 7, 2007 I was diagnosed with Stage IV Renal Carcinoma...after surgery to remove my right kidney AND the best care anywhere I underwent Immunotherapy with the drug Interlukkin 2...within a few months of the process it seemed there was no growth in the tumors I had in my lungs and my Aortic lymph nodes...soon after that they were shrinking and within 2 years I was cancer free.....fifteen years later and here I am typing away...we have all been touched in way or the other with this foul illness and the main thing I want to say here is please please please get routine check ups etc...right now a dear friend of mine was told after his first colonoscopy that he had a malignant polyp which was removed and now he faces a few months of chemo, luckily just oral medications and he should be fine...BUT...he is 58 and if he would've done the colonoscopy at an earlier age it probably wouldn't have come to this...so please...get your regular check ups and make sure your loved ones do too...now...back to our regular nonsense...

....yeah. I really need to get on that.
In other news, it was announced that U2 will open the brand new MSG Sphere here in Vegas on September 29-30. Next year is also Phish's 40th anniversary. You heard it here first that they will play The Sphere on Halloween.
(and as additional proof, my reCapcha just now was traffic lights. I mean, we're all slaves to them, right?"

Shrooms are not legal in CO, their decimalized, which is nice, but not quite the same thing.
The reason for the proposition was to make it legal for clinical therapeutic use for such things as traumatic PTSD, depression, alcohol addiction etc Research has shown special clinical use to have great positive results with these terrible afflictions, especially in the case of ex military folks etc.
Interesting book and Netflix series How To Change Your Mind all about this, even the FDA is on board!

NAPPY: right on, glad you made it and yes boys and girls none of us is getting any younger so get those tests!
Oh, and the procedure for Colonoscopy now is not bad like the old days. Only hard part is starving yourself for a couple days and even that’s not so bad, so don’t think about it, just do it, lean over and kiss your, er…oooppss wrong announcement.

Thanks for sharing your story Nappy. So sweet a gift to get that kind of response from treatment. Since we're on the subject of screenings just want to specifically point to another screening test that absolutely should be on your list guys if it isn't already - PSA (prostate-specific antigen). While not as black and white as to whether prostate cancer is actually present, the test is simple (blood draw), cheap, and a valuable tool for potentially catching the bad stuff earlier rather than later.

Just got home last night from some backcountry work in the land of Smokey the Bear down by Capitan, NM. DaP #44 #12767 quietly waiting in the PO Box. Saw these shows with my good girl (at that time and still a good friend), my first shows in the PNW, and it was everything that Dave says. What a great laid back easy groove weekend of excellent music. I look at pictures of the crowd and read the #s as to how many people and its sort of amazing cause it felt far more intimate than what those would seemingly indicate. Which brings me to the cover art - seems to me that the forest scene with the sun orb is actually taking place in Autzen itself, so a reflection of that whole more "cozy" and laid back atmosphere. Will set the time machine for a "deep forest" listen next few days (who knows, maybe even today!)

wow - surprised at how serious it is. just crazy to imagine having to put yourself into and through that space each time. and so many times in one's life. He mentions Jerry too. In 1982 Jerry played a show solo acoustic and it was so tough for him to be out there alone for that show (4/10/82 Capitol Theatre, Passaic, NJ) that he quickly brought in John Kahn to play bass for later acoustic gigs that spring and summer (and beyond). A little bit easier when there's somebody out there with you.

Great comeback story, Nappy, all the best to you. I might add that my father, who passed away in June at 93, had malignant cancer of the lymph nodes in 1974 and went the full-on surgical route, no chemo. Over the intervening 48 years he had various cancers crop up and, with EARLY DETECTION (nod to Nappy) he beat 'em all and lived longer than most of us will. So, early detection and immediate action and a lot of good luck and some will beat the Big C.

I myself am undergoing a self-colonoscopy later today using a cattle-prod and a miniature camera...... KIDDING!!! They've snipped out a few pre-cancerous polyps in the past, so I'm running on good luck.

My endoscopy is overdue (had to wait for Medicare to kick in) but I'm scheduled for Nov. 30 now.

For those of you who cannot stand this type of TMI in lieu of GD content, be patient. There will be some drug discussion now, then a teeny tiny tidbit on the GD at the end. Hang in there!

So, hats off to Oroborous for the malpropism of the day: "Shrooms are not legal in CO, their decimalized, which is nice, but not quite the same thing." In my case, I like a full dose, not a decimalized dose....

But Oro is correct: boomers have been decriminalized, not legalized. I think that means they can't bust ya for possession or use, maybe just selling? That's obviously a half-assed solution... cuz how would one obtain unless you cultivate your own? BUT decriminalization is always good, unless you're talking murder. As Oro pointed out, the sponsors of that ballot issue want folks with trauma and PTSD to have expert help in moving on through supervised therapy and this is a step in the right direction. The mere mention of "mescaline" in the ballot question gave me goose bumps. Mescaline is the very best, so I may need a little therapy... (Or, according to some (shut up Oro), I may need a LOT of therapy.

Never did get busted for psychedelics. On the other hand, I did face a handful of felonies for cultivation in the mid-80s and beat the rap. Had a massive Indica crop at 9000 feet on the New Mexico border. In the case of cannabis, legalization has been a mixed bag. Just prior to legalization, top shelf bud was $400/oz, and legalization cut that to ~$100-$125. Some writers have backups like carpentry or other intelligent money makers; my backup was always cultivating, so that hurt. But at least no one is going to do hard time for head stash. On the other hand, there are strict limits to possession and harsh penalties beyond that, which we don't need. But once you legalize and tax it, the revenuers want their share or you're going to the slammer. So, mixed bag, no pun intended.

Oh yeah, the GD: I read that Pigpen had bad stage fright and they'd have to find him, corral him and get him on stage. Once they got going, he said he was okay. With Bobby, I have little sympathy. I mean, no pain, no Jane, right? You want the fruits of being a rock star, you get your ass out there and make it look easy! Otherwise, no soup for you!

Ha, damn new math, oh wait, that’s not right, Damn spellcheck! It’s this damn spellcheck I tell ya, every FW update seems to make it worse, at least that’s my story and I’m sticking too it!
So I apologize Senior Schoolmarm for my incorrect spelling. Hopefully I can do some extra credit to fix my grade?
But, BUT! If your going to reprimand me with big grade ten words (ala Ricky in TPB) please use the proper spelling ; ) which according to the online dictionary is “Malapropism”, not Malpropism. Oh the irony LOL.
And yes, I had to look it up lol.

So no harm no foul as I’m assuming at least you, if not others, may have experienced joy and laughter from my gaffe!
Hey everybody has something in life their good at, apparently my new excellence is fucking up, which if it brings laughter is ok. I just wish it didn’t keep costing so much!
At least now I know a new word, which will give the Other One yet another way to rib me, especially when I start talking “Rickyisms” i.e., “it’s like getting 2 birds stoned at once” instead of killing 2 birds with one stone etc.
So thanks for giving her more tools, (like she needs any help lol) to prove me a fool, and point out my ongoing Malapropisms!

But hey, at least my intel was correct, so have fun out there but be careful!
oh yeah, don’t forget skin cancer screening too. Top C killer that unnecessarily takes too many folks out, that early screening could avoid etc. Which reminds me I haven’t….but really need to, cause damn near everyone here at altitude seems to have issues. I don’t even want to think about all those summers waaaayyy BITD when we went to the beach a lot and used oil to fry ourselves, idiots…

Senior Schoolmarm here, aka HF. And I like going commando!!!

Doooood, heh heh heh, I did see that I misspelled malapropism and decided to leave it just to TEST YOU. But I had not expected to get whacked over the head with "how ironic," which in Latin literally means "you are so effin' stupid!" But well played my man, well played.

Man, that one cat who couldn't stand our personal stories and demanded GD-talk is probably gonna need some of the psilocybin (sp??) therapy mighty soon.

So I'll just give my 2023 predictions here and now:
WotF 50th augmented by ... er, aren't all the '73 shows three-disks? Maybe Rhino would prefer a four-disc 50th? Maybe they have a shorter show fragment? I originally thought that the Watkins Glen soundcheck would be perfect, but that would run counter to a '73 box. So... [drumroll please] I'll state that if the box is '73, the WotF filler will not be the soundcheck. If the box is not '73, they're going with the soundcheck, one-disc addendum.

IF (and that's a big "if") the annual box is Summer '73 then they've gotta combine June 9 & 10, July 27 & 28 and July 31 & Aug 1. As June 9 and July 28 had a few non-stellar performances, say they cut a few songs or use the soundcheck with WotF and omit June 9 and July 28 and add two more '73 shows. See, there's the issue with a Summer '73 box: June 9 and July 28 may not stand up as full shows.

Maybe, as someone suggested, they do a 50th on Bear's Choice and break out all the Feb '70 FE material in the vault. (Three nights, two shows per night; how much do they have??)

And if they play those two albums to the hilt for '73 value, the box could be anything -- the '85 summer tour, which would save me beaucoup $$.

If Houdini was the greatest at extricating himself from multiple restraints, may I claim to be the greatest at tying myself in knots?

Signed, Senior Schoolmarm (going commando)

....I had to break out my slide rule and compass for that list.
VGK up 3-2 in Buffalo after two. Sabre fans booing Eichel every time he hits the ice. Love it.
Edit. Eichel scored. Whoo-boy. His celly
was awesome 😆
Edit edit. Eichel had a hat trick. Knights 13-2 and no signs of slowing down. Swept the road trip and coming back home.
