    No more 1977

    Butch-going beyond May, 11/6/77 - Daves 25, is worth squeezing in. Great versions of Dire Wolf and Music Never Stopped. Having said that - I'm listening to it now, and they seem to be having a bit of a nap after singing the verses of Scarlet Begonias.
    Not sure about those two skeletons leaning against a tree to advertise 30 Days of the Dead. I suppose that's the brand - and it's better than teddy bears - but..... why have a brand at all ? Surely The Dead were originally opposed to all that kind of thing.

    Dennis, if you're not familiar with small local British newspapers from that time I'm not sure you'll get the joke..

    I have been away awhile. Seems like the usual suspects here. I haven't just been away from the site but away from the Dead. I finally listened to Dave's 41, 42, and 43, on a long drive which is what inspired me to mention it here. As someone who only in the last few years began to understand the Dead, I have to say, going from May 1977 to Feb 1974 to Nov/Dec 1969, it is like literally listening to three different bands, four if you include the acoustic music. All great performances. I sometimes hear people comment that they don't need any more 1977. I only have a couple of 77 shows so this one sounds great to me. The 1969 material is my pick of the bunch. I would give just about anything to go back in time and see Pigpen in his prime. And on first listen I thought the Feb 22, 1974 show was not nearly as good as what I will call its "counterpart" Feb 24, 1974, Dave's 13.

    Now I just need to get caught up on a few months of posts. Everyone take it easy.

    Hey rockers!!

    In reference to the restored Carousel 1968 recording, in this case---as in all others---I don't have an special insights or inside information. The write-up at the OSF Facebook page really says it all, in great depth. It seems like it's early June. In any case, it looks awesome!! And hopefully will be officially released some time soon!

    I thought for a moment that the recently (November 1, 2022) circulated remaster of the June 8/9 show(s) might be the show mentioned by OSF, but the setlists are vastly different. What currently circulates for June 8/9 is: Excerpt #1: //St. Stephen [tape speed variable at the start] > That's It For The Other One > Turn On Your Lovelight//; Excerpt #2: //Morning Dew//-//Hurts Me Too//-Dark Star-St. Stephen >Turn On Your Lovelight//. This June 8/9 remaster is really excellent sound quality. Thanks very much to the folks that made that possible. Anybody who needs/wants, you know where to find me.

    Based on what OSF has released so far---all of which are excellent---it appears they have an emphasis on non-Dead releases. Which means maybe they will leave the Dead stuff to the Dead organization itself. My guess is, that being the case, don't expect a flood of releases, probably more like a trickle........

    Time moves in one direction, memory in another...........

    Rock on,

    Mystery date of a GD '68 show

    The doc recently exhibited some fine sleuthing regarding identifying a date of a 1970 show. I'm surprised there has not been any discussion of the call by the Owsley Stanley Foundation to help identify a date of a June 1968 show discussed in the current almanac under the heading "Friends & Relations". Here's an excerpt:

    "The Owsley Stanley Foundation found some never circulated ’68 dead featuring the earliest versions of “St. Stephen” and the first versions of “Dark Star” to crack the 10-minute mark. They’re not in the world just yet, but keep watching the skies!"

    In the full story there's a l i n k. Once there, there's a call to help figure out the date of the show. Curious to hears Doc's & others thoughts on this.

    Apologies if this was discussed here or elsewhere & I missed the discussion.

    A thing or two..

    Checking the experience vinyl site to see what they now say about "from the vault" series. 1 has been pushed back to spring 2023,,,, the other 2 "fall" this year. Right.

    I see them hawking so glad you made it, why would anyone pre order it? They're over a year on "from the vault" initial release date!

    Further i saw them hawking a pre order of Dicks 33 (275 bucks!!!), 8 LP's. I checked my shelf and sure enough there's 33 already?!?! Don't remember paying 275? But it's number.

    Anyone seen anything of 3/2/69 fillmore to finish that set of vinyl?

    Had the 50th anniversary of Thick as a Brick show up minutes ago. Remastered release comes with the original newspaper in it's entirety. My original copy from back in the day does not! I look forward to reading it :-)

    Enjoy

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.
