    Dave's 44 has landed

    3589 has arrived! Yay! Now I may stop listening to MSG 82 and check this out. I can't believe I have to choose between two great releases. Which shall I listen to? Oh the decisions I am faced with. : >

    Go Nappy, go 1stShow, go Jorma....

    Boulder, circa 1981-82, Jorm arrives having driven a rental from the East Coast in more or less one go. Three nights with early and late shows. We caught most all of them, racing up and down I-36 in borrowed vehicles and in a state best addressed without the intoxicants we ingested. Jorma walks into the bathroom, pulls up at the urinal next to me, I'm splashing away and say, "Jorma, I named my cat after you." Barely an acknowledgement. He zips and goes. I'm still peeing when Jorma heads for the door, which slams open and in marches my friend. He grabs Jorma by the shoulder and says quite loudly: "Remember Bay Ridge!" (An excellent tape of an excellent Jorma show, but not exactly "Remember the Alamo!") and Jorma expertly twists out of his grip and escapes. I'm still peeing. My friend pulls up. "You missed it. I was just hanging with Jorma!" I looked at him the way Jorma looked at me. F***ing Boulder!

    Yes, about to sip a Pilsner Urquell, dabble in a little bud and head down to the theater. Go PIGPEN!!!!

    My 44 shipped last week, and if I’m lucky, I might receive it tomorrow. I have read on another board of a couple of people receiving their copy without receiving a shipping email. So, at this point, I’d be willing to bet you will just receive it without a shipping email.

    Upgrade?

    Um, no.
    What's circulating is superior to this release.

    First Show On The Jorma Trail

    First Show - That’s an incredible Jorma story, likely the most unique reason I’ve ever heard for a reason for a delay in starting a show! Somehow, too, given his life long love of motorcycling, very believable. I guess Jorma used to teach/still teaches guitar from a ranch property he owns in Ohio. Just weeks ago, an archival release of “kitchen tapes” he and Janis Joplin used to make when she was Janis Nobody, from 1964, were released. You hear about the amazing longevity of players like Jorma, who are still bringing it, or Bob Dylan, or Dead & Co, and so forth. Contrast this to flakes like Justin Bieber, mid 20s, who needs to stop touring because he doesn’t feel fresh anymore, or whatever reason. Good grief. Meow.

    Very early in the morning of October 22nd I received a shipping confirmation mail meaning it must have been sent from America on the 21st. Later that day I clicked on the UPS tracking thingy. There it stated that the shipment was ready for UPS and that the order information had been received at 12:02 AM on October 22nd. Now, at 1:32 PM on November 1st nothing has changed. The shipment is still ready for UPS and the order information has been received. I know this is the year that everything has turned to shit, but really...
    As for GarciaLive 19, I ordered it from a local shop here in the Netherlands for 26 Euros. I ordered it on release day and received it the following day. Amazon in Germany are selling it for 71 Euros. They cannot be serious.

    True That, That Mike

    Told this story before but saw him in a conference room solo, in '85 I think, in Crested Butte, CO. Very small crowd and we had to wait hours for his hands to quit vibrating from haven ridden from Denver on a Harley. Or so we were told.
    Great show, he was pretty high I'd guess but fully functional. So quick you can't figure how he does it even when watching up close. Finger picker extraordinaire!
    Cheers

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!

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.
