    Re: Hopeful for These Releases

    That's a tall order, BTK. A few of those are on my list too. Fortunately, that list has been whittled down over the years. I have gotten most of the shows I was hoping would one day get released.

    I have to remember if my avatar here has the dial set to 6/10/73 or not?

    Last 5 Songs

    So I turned 65 at the beginning of the month and my son gave me a subscription to Spotify. Wow! Talk about having your eyes opened! What does one do with 1,000s of CDs which suddenly became redundant!

    I any event, the last 5 songs added to my 1st playlist:

    1. Down at the Rock and Roll Club - Richard Hell and the Voidoids
    2. Sonic Reducer - Dead Boys
    3. Bela Lugosi's Dead - Bauhaus
    4. Rockwrok - Ultravox!
    5. Ball of Confusion - Love and Rockets

    Reliving the punk years of 2nd year University tonight. Like a kid in a candy store ...

    ....yup. We are. We're family. I stay in contact with a few of you more personally in fact. Even met a few in person with no regrets and consider you friends. Planning on heading to the NE next year to meet more of you. I remember posting years ago that if i could, I would go back in time and purchase several rows of seats at a GD show and fly you all in so we could dance. Music is the glue here, and the best band in the land is the superglue.
    I just had to get stuff off my chest the other day. I almost deleted the original post, but said to myself, "Nope Vguy. You posted it. You own it. Some eyes will roll. Others will widen. Others will smile. Let the chips fall where they may." Thanks for understanding. I love this site, and I love this country. Even though some may think I'm not "patriotic enough." Whatever that means. Disappointed for sure that so many of my fellow Americans decided to hitch their wagon to that guy. Ugh.
    I'm not a fan of politics at all, but when push comes to shove, I just couldn't ignore the elephant in the room anymore so I vented here of all places. No PM from Marye, so I guess I'm good to go.
    Rock on. Stay cool. Play Dead.
    Edit. Push Comes To Shove. Another song I really like and sad that they shelved it in '89. Time to walk the dogs and check out the cool Halloween decorations in my neighborhood then come back home and pick a good scary movie. Thinking Evil Dead. Classic.
    Any horror movie Heads out there?

    welcome Nitecat

    ... hope others avail themselves of that code for any other purchases, as it seems to work for most anything. Thought to try it on a whim, not expecting it to still work. And I have been very close to political comment, scary close as I stand with Vguy. Maybe we should have a discrete, meaning deadicated thread for politics... even satire might be risky... was hoping the orangebaby dirigible seen over London came across the pond for the last campaign with a justly stained diaper... but, better stop right there.

    DMCVT - Discount and catching up

    Hey now DMCVT, thanks for the discount code, worked perfectly! Took me 5 tries to get my subscription ordered as a guest. Saved me 10 bucks on an already great deal.

    Billy yes of course, I was at the October 1978 run. The obvious advantage of growing up in the bay area. I swear, we must have rubbed shoulders a few times! Wish I remembered more of it. I know I had a great time and heard some awesome music.

    Vguy I agree with your rants, I also enjoy this space being relatively free of politics. I could do without sports, too, but obviously that's a fun thing to chat about. This space is wonderful, inciteful, and I have a whole shelf of books to read because of everyone's interesting conversations. Thanks, all.

    Alright folks let's chill out.

    As you were.

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.
