    '72, Come Shine or Rain

    So, following up the excellent and dud-free 2022 sub series, we're starting off 2023 with 2 shows from '77 and then 4 discs from fall '72? Yes, please.

    Announcing releases from '77 and '72 certainly seems like a good way to drive up subscription sales. You guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I am about what's good and still in the vault from those periods, but all I can say is I've never heard a "bad" show from either year.

    Box sets? I have no idea how or if what's issued on the DaP series impacts their thinking about possible boxes. But I sure like some of the suggestions I'm hearing. A summer '73 box? Or a '60s set? Just take all my money, now.

    Last five:
    King Crimson: The Great Deceiver
    Blind Willie McTell: Death Cell Blues
    Neil Young: Noise & Flowers
    Jefferson Airplane: After Bathing at Baxter's
    John McLaughlin: Extrapolation

    Well, Senor Oro, I did hear Dave once say....

    that a fall '72 box was "inevitable" -- I believe that's the word he used. And, yes, I leapt to the bait like a trout to the fly! Dave said that maybe 4-5 years ago and, knowing Dave as well as I do (I don't know the guy at all), he says all kinds of things but that doesn't mean they're gonna happen. So, a mere 4-5 hours of sacred Sept '72 will just have to suffice until such time as "They" decide on a fall '72 box.

    So, what's the speculation or wish list for the coming year's box? "They" gotta do a Wake of the Flood 50th, right? Is the bonus show with that all the '73 they're gonna muster in 2023? Perhaps.

    That is all.

    Fall 1972 good. Bonus disc bad.

    Great that another show from this timespan is being released. I would get anything from this era without hesitating. Pity it's coming out under the Dave's Picks banner though, with a bonus disc that you can only buy if you subscribe. Needless to say, I would love to get the bonus disc, but I wouldn't buy the two October 77 shows if I had the choice, and not knowing what is in the pipeline, I can't be sure number 47 and 48 would be to my liking, either. So I guess I have to decide if it's worth subscribing and getting shows I don't want, for the one bonus disc I do. I don't like this buy one, get one free approach at all.

    I know I could subscribe and then sell the ones I don't want online - but I have never sold anything this way, and can't really be bothered looking into how you do it.

    Well said Keithfan!

    I don’t know this show but I’ve NEVER heard anyone discuss it.
    I mean we have some serious fall 72 nuts here (yeah, I’m looking at you Mr PC), and out of all the shows folks discuss I’ve never heard a word about it?
    So that and no Dark Star has me worried that once again he’s picked a good city and street, but gone to the wrong house! I’m sure I’ll dig it, I always do, but with no Dark Star etc Im not sure how much rotation it’ll get?
    First world whining to be sure lol

    Good stories DMCVT, keep ‘em coming por favor!

    Welcome 1972

    Let me take your coat for you, welcome, welcome. We haven't seen the likes of you since the St. Louis box set, and even that wasn't enough.

    Any '72 is great '72. Still, I wondered why he chose the Palladium show from the 9th as opposed to the next night w/Dark Star. The Dark Star fanatic in me always wants the Dark Star show, and Dave certainly likes a good Dark Star. I have a solid SBD from the 10th. So I checked out archive.org and learned David Crosby was a guest on the 10th. I have a feeling that played a lrole in the release decision. First world issues.

    I'm usually not too keen when they include duplicate songs on the Bonus Disc, but I would be happy with both Bird Songs from the two incomplete shows, 9/3 & 9/19. That would give us three 1972 Bird Songs in one release. YES. I am o-freaking-kay with that. They were playing the most killer Bird Songs in this timeframe. It would certainly make up for 4 discs of 1972 and no Dark Star.

    Sept '72 is as good as it gets without the grease, so this will be a huge release.

    However, the release of portions of my first show (9-19-72) confirms that they've given up the search for the missing reel and I have to surmise that the OSF now knows the contents of the banana boxes and the missing 9-19-72 reel is not there.

    Oh well, guess I'll just have to enjoy four hours of Sept '72 and the several hundred other shows I have in pristine sound quality............... you win some, you lose some. Though a portion of my first show is hardly losing.

    P.S. Wonder what this selection means for the year's box set? Not gonna be fall '72. So, maybe a 50th Summer '73? Plenty of material, between entire barn-burning shows and uneven though iconic shows (Watkins Glen main performance).

    46 is 72

    Yep, I just saw my email from Dead.net. DaP 46 looks great. I think several of you were calling for a fall 1972 show so there it is . I have not heard 9/9/72 so I am going to hold off until I get my copy in the mail. It seems like 9/19/72 only has audience sources in circulation (I could be wrong) so that will be nice to get some snippets from that show. We already got the big jam form 9/3/72 so bonus disc will round out some of that.

    At this point for me, I am open to any show that is released from any era. However, I will not lie about the fact that I am extra excited for DaP 45 & 46 as 1977 and 1972 are my favorite years of the GD. Maybe number 47 will be an 85 show (or two). That would hit the sweet spot for me. However it doesn't really matter anyway.

    Once again, thank you Dave L and crew!

    Acid test - Soft Machine

    One of the earliest excerpts of 1966 I have heard/seen is the dvd of the Acid Test from 1/8/66. Plenty of live Dead, and a bit of hickey between Pigpen and the Pranksters - "Hey man, stop yo babbling and fix these microphones". Really good sound quality - if it's on youtube, definitely worth checking out. It would be a great addition if this film, and any others like it, could be included in a box of early Dead.

    Those Soft Machine shows with the Mark Boyle light show circa 1968 are legendary in their own right. Together with Pink Floyd, Soft Machine seem to have been one of the main live bands of early British psych. Never really given due credit.

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!

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.
