    So....

    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...

    DaP 46 predictions and beyond

    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.

    If early January 1979 recordings were to miraculously appear, I'd say 1-10-79 with its amazing Dark Star. Won't happen though.

    And therein is the difference....

    ....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

    Sorry that happened

    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.

    Wow, the votes are rolling in .....

    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..................]

    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.

    I suggest placing another order using a different browser, and even a different credit card.

    Then tell the first credit card company to cancel payment because the retailer does not have a record or your purchase.

    Also, you don’t need to create an account to place an order, you can check out as guest.
    Worked for me.

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.

Speaking of 69.. Banana box? Holy Cow 43 was good, 44 is up on deck. We live in the valley of riches, but of all the releases the last few years the 69 was the big surprise. I'll take a double dose of that any day.

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.
