    Garcia Live 19

    Three quarters the way through and HOLY MOLY Jer plays and sings such a great setlist and with truly stunning and touching guitar work and that band and that female chorus are from Heaven via Harlem. Oh man. Every single song is outstanding. But check out Ain't No Bread in the Breadbox, cuz Jer gets funky with his riffs and tone in a long jam section where everyone is playing off each other. Trust me on this one. And for October 1992, just wow.

    I'll say something potentially unpopular. I checked out of the scene in 1987 after a few years of Jer's decline. My bad, cuz I missed the resurgence of 1989-90. (Did catch the Hornsby GD in Chicago in June 91 and two more in June 92, as well as Jer bands, 1975 to 1991.) But I have to conclude, based on the recorded evidence, that perhaps Jer would have been happier and less morose if he had put the GD to rest and just gone off into the sunset with his own band. You all know I'm a dyed in the wool Deadhead, but Jer's playing in '90s with both bands draws a contrast for me that favors the JGB. At least that's how I feel today after getting my ass kicked by GL 19!

    Another contrast: I'm a huge fan of Garcia-Saunders and that early bar band jam thing-y. BUT the latter day JGB with Melvin Seals and the gospel singers just plain rings my bell.

    Don't miss the Tivoli film if you can make it.

    Over and out, peoples!

    My DaP 44 just arrived…

    My DaP 44 just arrived. Memories! I had started touring this year - Dominguez Hills, a weird spot to get on the bus - but I missed these Eugene shows because I didn't even know they were happening. I just wasn't connected enough yet. Friends got back from Eugene in late June with stories of how great the shows were. This was after I'd also skipped Cal Expo (but not Shoreline) because I was in college at the time and I was already on academic probation, and I didn't want to fail finals and fail all the way out of college. So instead, listening to all the stories and good vibes from Eugene, I thought "Ok, Fall Tour it is!" I didn't fail out of college, but Fall Tour wasn't to be...

    I can remember walking on campus about a month later and learning that Brent was dead, and nothing was ever quite the same again. My friends and I got shut out of the early December shows at Oakland. Managed to score a ticket to the night before NYE later that month, but that would be my one and only NYE run. The following December I was down in SoCal, and I remember listening to (and taping) the FM broadcast and thinking it was underwhelming compared to the Halloween '91 show I'd been lucky enough to attend two months earlier. Little did I know that would be it for NYE runs.

    Just goes to show that timing is everything. For now, I plan to spend this time transporting myself back 32 years to Summer 1990, when the band was still humming along and Brent was still with us. For those looking forward to this Eugene show, I hope it lands promptly in your mailboxes if it's not there already.

    What am I Listening To?

    The Dave's 44 CD came today. I admit I don't listen to the 90s. I do listen to 60s and 70s so I know this band's song list extensively. It sounds strange. Cumberland Blues and Me And My Uncle sound tired. Up to They Love Each Other now. It all seems lackluster and energyless. There is some cool Hammond on TLEO. I don't think I'll ever get used to Vince's voice. Some cool mellow jamming at the end of Cassidy but the song part feels uneven. I'm gonna go the whole way on this one. Is it considered a "great show"? I thought everything from 89/90 was considered the great resurgence and shows were all 5 star. Tennessee Jed sloooow. Someone please pick up the tempo!

    I too received the same weird email, MaryE, got any idea what is going on? should I cancel and reorder? was about to pay the credit card bill but now I will wait, but I would like to know if I have a subscription or if it is on backorder? how could it be on backorder? why are rhino/warner music/deadnet trying to freak me out? I was good during Halloween, I didn't trick anybody, and I gave out chocolate, no po po candy here. Please advise powers that be.

    Jorma on a music cruise

    There were several posts here recently with love for Jorma Kaukonen. So wanted to let folks know he'll be on a week long music cruise in the Caribbean Feb 10 - 17th. Since we can't post lynx, just search "Cayamo". Since it's a made up word, you should readily get to it.

    I was last on a Cayamo cruise about 14 years ago (where 2023 will be the 15th edition). What I really like about it is all the spontaneous jamming with artists jumping in with others to do a few songs or a full set. Last cruise I was on folks were calling it "The Buddy Boat" because it seemed like Buddy Miller played with just about everyone. Given there are 30+ acts, I suspect we'll see more of this in the next installment.

    When I signed up a couple weeks back, there were still a number of rooms left. Just wanted to make sure folks here were aware of the opportunity!

    Got #1598 here in New Jersey, lowest number I've ever received since ordering from 30 on. Subscribed since 33. Not really a surprise but the sound quality is absolutely superior to the listening party mp3. Cheers to all who saw it, don't think I'll be able to make the drive to see 4/17/72 on Saturday, bit of a drive from where I'm at, but totally agree that if they release it, I'll snap it up in a second.

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.
