    Then Play On

    I've just ordered this one from Amazon for under a fiver. It looks like the same 2013 remaster as then one in the box recommended. One called Bare Trees is also available for the same price, and also looks as though it could be the same as the one in the box. Seems to have more mixed reviews than the other one, though.

    Fleetwood Mac Box

    I second Charlie3's recommendation for the 69-74 Fleetwood Box. Not a fancy box, similar in concept to the Winterland boxes-won't take much space on the shelf. Supposedly re-mastered, too.

    Edit: And we're not talkin' about the "classic album series" red box re-issue of five of those early albums. That box, like most of the 'classic album series' re-issues, is a great deal, but the 69-74 box is a real box and is light blue.

    That description from Vguy sounds like when me and my brother used to play soccer with whoever was around on the pub car park when we were about 10.

    Early Fleetwood Mac

    Anyone looking for early Fleetwood Mac albums should check out the Fleetwood Mac 1969-1974 box set, includes Then Play On (fantastic album, some pretty psychedelic stuff), Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery to Me (everybody needs a copy just for Hypnotized), Heroes Are Hard to Find, and Live from the Record Plant: December 15, 1974. All of the albums are remastered and include bonus tracks, packaged in a nice compact box with album cover replicas for the individual albums and all for about $45 or less. And anyone curious about Peter Green should check out his album In the Skies.

    Here's how you make soccer better....

    ....first of all, the playing area is too big. Make it smaller. Make the goal smaller too. Also, there are too many players. Should be a goalie, a center, two defenseman and two forwards. Also, let the players rotate on and off without a stoppage in play. Finally, cover the field with ice. Now we're talking.

    Magic Soccer Water

    Don’t forget about the magic soccer water. They don’t seem to use it as much as they did in the past, but this elixir has the ability to cure any ailment.

    Squirt this stuff on a mortally injured player writhing around on the ground and he’s instantly cured, ready to resume play.

    I’ll concede that these players are extremely talented athletes, but those antics make the sport unwatchable.

    Oro - diving is a thing of the past in hockey. Now you get a penalty. Soccer needs to do the same.

    Yeah I noticed the acting skills in the Mexico game lol. Like one chap basically tripped, but gets up all indignant yelling at the Ref and hobbling around holding his shin like he got kicked when it was clear he basically tripped.
    I though hockey players were good at the “dive”, but their rank amateurs comparatively!

    Now settle down and rest up! Don’t make me bring you chicken soup!

    Penalty!

    Yes, I like the drama around foul play too. Often some guy will throw himself face down on the grass, and then be all indignant, pretending to have been tripped up. There can't be many matches that go beyond 10 minutes before someone breaks the rules. I can think of only one other game where dishonesty and foul play are so interwoven into the fabric of the whole. And that's politics.

    better, Better, BAY-TUH...

    My continuing gratitude for well-wishers and I redirect those vibes to others here with life-body complications. I got 90 days to go to measure whether the operation worked, but I'm up and around, etc. In for the long haul, gods willing.

    PT -- shop around for that Petty box or send me a PM! Prices do vary widely; I think my final was under $60. Here's the truth: except for exceptional bargains like the 35-disc Mayall box for ~$85, the GD have -- at least in my mind -- established a standard of $10 or less per disc that I assess all other offers by. (Above = bad, below = good, possible purchase.)

    On the '68 releases idea, I can't pretend to know whether it would sell beyond this rabid little community. I loved the story that someone told of playing Anthem for non-GD heads and getting a positive from them. I just think they've got limited supplies and want to part them out carefully over time. So here comes JiminMD with the data: 2001, 2009, 2015, which to me says intervals of 8, 6 and now 7 years -- could it be time? I'd guess Dave & Co. could allow the OSF to release the recently discovered tape and not dent the Vault's remaining inventory.

    I only know that an occasional surprise of vintage TNT would be most welcome. Throw in some late '67 when the cauldron began to boil, spring '68, and Oct '68, and I'll be your slave! (Okay, swore I wasn't going to get kinky here...)

    "Twisted wisdom," is that it, Orrrro?! He of the "white ribbon of death"? Ya know, perhaps for PR purposes (and our friends outside the region) they still label that as "Interstate 70." For those of you who've done the traverse in the past few years, the "Gigantic Hole of Death" is actually just a bit west of Oro's town in central Colorado. It's where a historic mudslide brought a few thousand (millions?) tons of rock and gunk down onto I-70 and obliterated the westbound lane. When you pass and look up into the track, you are looking death in the face. I did that once; now I just accelerate, especially if it's raining. There's some truly stunning drone video of the upper slide area on Youtube -- humbling.

    If you're bored out of your mind, but high, check out The Sagebrush Bohemians on Spotify.........

    Christine and Danny

    I dug into my early Fleetwood Mac last night to appreciate Christine. I listened to "Bare Trees" and "Future Games". Two things struck me, you could hear her keyboards on lots of the songs, and you could hear her doing wonderful singing duets with Danny Kirwan. Of course, Danny's songs were really good, showcasing his excellent guitar work. Then there's Christine's songs, her lament about touring -"homeward bound", "Spare me a little of your love", "morning rain" and the lovely "show me a smile". IMHO these were peak FM albums, when there was a lot of room for Danny to stretch out musically, with a great band to support him.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

Send a PM to MaryE.

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carlo, losing a pet is very sad.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
