    Far be it for me to mention

    the Grateful Dead, but I did see and snatch up one Dick's Picks reissue -- #34, 11-5-77 -- and that thing smokes! Just about every song on the first two discs is top shelf, even ones I'm not crazy about (er, Samson & Delilah). I was never taken with the revival of St. Stephen, it always seemed awkward, but this one works.

    Classic case of "too much '77, but this particular show is killer!" Which can be applied to most of '77, the year that keeps on giving. I have a good feeling that 1-2 Oct '77 from Portland will catch fire as well.

    Have a very Nappy New Year all!

    Staying home

    I'm with Mr Ones on that one - the last time I went out on New Years Eve was 1999 I think. Maybe an odd one since , but left to my own devices I'd rather stay in. Incidentally, I think you ( Mr Ones), in particular, would like "Last Night In Soho" being into mid 60's music.
    Proudfoot - sorry If I put you off "Moonage Daydream". A lot of people rate it very highly. It does have great sound and picture quality. There are lots of great clips of him playing live with The Spiders, too - but they are all cut. One minute you are watching the band, the next he is being interviewed - then back to the live clip, but with Bowie talking over the top of it. What he says and asks seems irrelevant now as well. He didn't get on with his mum. He doesn't believe in God, but he does believe there is something out there. As Eddie Cochran sang.. "Who cares...C'mon Everybody".

    I received a full collection of Monty Python's flying circus episodes for x-mas. The post office dented the box a little. Stupid git.

    For the record, an Italian ‘collector’s’ label called Oil Well put both of these early live dead albums on 1 cd. Just under 69 minutes of music. Catalog # is RSC CD 088. I’m sure it’s not easy to track down but there have to be a couple of copies floating around. As far as Jerry’s quote (and someone already alluded to this), I’m sure it was great if you were there, but if you weren’t or couldn’t be there, than listening to the recording is DEFINITELY the second best thing to being there. Otherwise, Dick’s & Dave’s , Road Trips & subscriptions wouldn’t exist as a business, just a place for Heads to reminisce.
    I don’t know about y’all, but I gave up going out on New Year’s Eve many years ago. Why even risk getting hurt or killed by a drunken butthole trying to drive while oiled to the gills.
    Perhaps a good movie instead. Thanks for the tip DAVEROCK!!
    Be safe everyone, because very soon we can start talking about #45!!

    Living up here in these mountains is beautiful except when it gets this cold, 2 degrees on Xmas eve, main lines here in the city froze and burst, nothing but a brown trickle coming out of these pipes here for 3 days now, still have power but no water pressure, so toilets don't work, have to be hand filled to flush, big fun.
    I will be very happy when this year is over.

    I have been wanting to see that, but Daverock has tempered my enthusiasm a bit

    Maybe I'll stick with the albums I am familiar with

    A week in Palm Springs
    We return last night
    This morming at 645 a windstorm blows through and sends a lighting frame from the rooftop deck to the street below. I go out and get it off the sidewalk in high winds and rain
    Welcome back to Washington, bitch!

    Luckily no people or cars were hit
    Lights are salvagable
    Frame is not
    I just got done ripping it apart and putting it in trash

    Billy - I think that's the name of the book. I thought it was alright, myself - certainly nothing to be embarrassed about. I can understand why he would be though - just having a stoned rap with someone one afternoon, then what you say gets printed and it's there for eternity. The price of fame, I guess-people think you know what you are talking about. And worse...remember what you say!
    I've just watched the first hour of the newish David Bowie blu ray "Moonage Daydream" - now that is embarrassing. Loads of out of context quotes on God, philosophy - you name it - overlaid on clips of him performing live. It takes the word pretentious to a whole n'other level. The only saving grace in the first hour is Jeff Beck playing "Jean Genie" onstage at that last Spiders gig in 1973.

    Best film I've seen recently is "Last Night In Soho" - brilliant. Incredible cover of the old Petula Clark hit "Downtown" sung by Anya Taylor-Joy. You can see the down tempo version online - truly spine tingling.

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.

If I could pick only one Grateful Dead show to see out of all the shows they played, it would be one of the acoustic/ electric shows from 1970.

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.
