    No liner notes in my DaP 44

    Hey now ~ received my DaP copy 16302/25000 and it did not have liner notes enclosed. That is a first. I understand that they should be enclosed according to Daves YouTube update and vaguely in the CD description. Has anyone else had this issue? I contacted customer service and am waiting on a resolution. Fingers crossed.

    ....all I know, is that when we saw a show from a new tour, speculation was always, "will it be a somewhat healthy Garcia or the other one."
    His weight was all over the place.
    As we sat on the knoll outside of Shoreline after the last '95 show, we all thought that this may be the last time we get to see him.
    On the plus side, winter warmer beers are arriving!
    Finishing up disc 3 of Autzen. The Wheel into Miracle was neat.

    Well, I Met #7859 Intentionally, in Saint Paul, Minnesota

    Arrived yesterday, but I didn't have time to listen, as Dark Star Orchestra were in town last night at First Avenue. Unfortunately they played a hodge-podge show with almost no "classic" GD songs! :( They played lots of once-in-a-blue-moon covers that the Dead played, plus Liberty, Corrina, and a seemingly-interminable Drums. I had a friend along who is getting into the GD, and I had to keep explaining that what they were doing was not at ALL like a GD show. It was the oddest set list I've ever come across while attending DSO shows. There was even a Low Spark that almost crawled to a stop at times, which I guess is true to GD form (from certain tours), as in when Althea or West L.A. occasionally slowed to the point of almost stopping! :)

    Got the subscription and the calendar, so now I've got to get myself back to the Gar-a--ar-den (box), the second set of GarciaLive 19, and DaP44!

    Be kind, rewind. Then vote for kindness.

    Still my favorite for nailing Jerry's sound. Would be a great show to see.
    I have a friend who when he got a custom Alembic sounds remarkably like Jerry. Guy is so good but hardly ever plays.
    Jimmy Herring was the only "replacement" I got to see post-'95.

    Must fess up, being a first and second era kind of fan, have enjoyed 44 and though I may not pull it from the shelf much later on, dug the laid back sunny afternoon in the NW vibe that permeates an excellent recording. Maybe a touch too much reverb drench on Looks Like Rain. Remarks here reminded of David Grisman's story of meeting Jerry for the first time when they crossed paths looking for Bill Monroe at a bluegrass festival in PA in 1964. There are a few revealing moments in the Grateful Dawg film where one can tell Jerry is so totally relaxed and enjoying himself at Grismans house... when did Jerry get to play banjo or lap steel with the Dead? There was a lot going on with the latter era Dead, as been said, so many expectations, the big stage et al. Live jazz tonight, Paul Asbell's group with Gabe Jarrett on drums (son of the famous pianist) and bonus, a few minutes ago, scored a front row seat for Steve Kimock Zero at the Flying Monkey tomorrow night. Music is The Best!

    The mysteriously placed sun in the artwork reminds me of the Kugelblitz at the center of season 3 of The Umbrella Academy. Whether the the deadheads are naively summoning its arrival, using the power of dance to capture its cataclysmic energy or happen to be enjoying their newly found freedom of life as post-apocalyptic skeletons, who's to say. Its all up for personal interpretation. But I think there's a clue in the bottom right corner. Curiouser and curiouser!

    On with the listen.....

    My DaP 44 arrived Wednesday, just 5 days after the release date, and I think that’s the world record. Usually they get to me 10-14 days later. Weird that I never got any tracking info, but hey, here it is! And it’s really good. Like Vguy, I gave it a spin with the world series on mute (goddam Trashtros!) and really enjoyed it.

    I think I’ll always prefer the early ‘70s to everything else. I could just go and live in 1973, as Dick Latvala once said. But I’ve come to realize there are good shows to be found in every era, and the “Late Brent Era” had some gems, as DaP 40 and 44 demonstrate. Definitely a unique vibe to this Oregon show: kind of laid back, from start to finish, but everybody sounds engaged, and the audio's good so you can really hear the whole band. It’s a whole different experience than what we get from a great ’69 or ’73 show, because of course it is.

    Interesting to speculate about Garcia’s state of mind. I think he definitely felt burned out at several points, and he also felt like he owed it to everyone—the other band members, the crew, and all of us—to continue. That’s a classic formula for substance abuse: a person feels trapped by circumstances they feel powerless to change, so they seek escape via the wonders of neurochemistry. Which works, until it doesn’t. I, too, wish they would’ve taken a couple more hiatuses whenever Jerry got real strung out. I’ve heard interviews where Phil said he wanted to do so, but he knew Garcia would just go on tour with the JGB and just keep using. So they just kept on. But based on the recorded evidence, they kept it together pretty well in 1990 ... until Brent died.

    It's a matter of taste, for sure, but I wouldn’t agree that Jerry’s playing was better with the JGB. I think he may very well have preferred playing with JGB at certain times, because there was less pressure and because it was probably a relief to play with a “normal” rhythm section that stuck to the chord changes and kept the beat where it was when the song started and played things the same way from night to night. But I think his best playing resulted when he was being pushed and prodded in various unpredictable ways by the Dead.

    Last five:
    Dvorak: Symphonic Poems (now THAT is some psych-a-delic shit)
    GOGD: DaP 44
    Billy Strings: Home
    Hank Mobley: Soul Station
    Kamasi Washington: Harmony of Difference

    On DaP44. Extra week because of Mail "Innovations".

    JGB and other solo projects really let Jer delve deeper into so many styles.
    Anything 73-74 always blew me away. His Motown covers like I Was Made to Love Her. Solos going so far you wonder how he's going to get back. Then you go wow, never would have thought of that return. Vassar called him fearless when soloing.

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.

Yes, not if but when will these gems get released. I hope when it happens David Duryeau writes the liner notes. As cool a cat as ever posted here once upon a time. He certainly loved his primal GD.

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.

As you were.. one more Saturday Night.

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!

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.

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.

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.
