    Has anyone gotten ……

    Dave’s 2023 shipping

    Someone asked about international shipping. I ordered two copies and was charged 70 dollars. I thought it expensive but then thought divide by 4 for two hefty (yet still small) parcels to the U.K. and it’s not bad. I recently backed away from a (non-Dead) purchase where the postage was 1 1/2 times the cost of the cd.

    Things are turning out real weird

    Colin, I have just ordered mine, after having too update my address,and card details,password etc, after several attempts. It looks like they are still building the site,as it states they have no history of any of my past orders until someone updates the system.
    That last Bears Sonic Journal was a good one, I had my ears prick up when I heard the 2 bodhrams playing,upon reading the booklet I discovered it was Bear working his magic on the microphones.Lots of fun.

    Back ordered

    What on earth does back ordered mean on an item, DaP#48, that isn’t due out for a year? Surely all 4 sets should be on back order since none of them currently exist.

    Hi Gerd!

    Good to see ya! My confirmation took a while.
    Busiest first day of subscriptions I have seen.
    Gotta be the "new" store site issues.

    Althea comes to mind today.
    How do those lyrics go?
    Opinions on the best one?
    Cheers

    Edit: Subscription seaside chat. Actual quotes, not what I thought I heard. On box set (he says set, not plural), "We've got a great one!". On 1973 anniversaries, Dave mentions "we have two this year", but he gives no details there. Still hoping for more than one box and something I can afford.

    Edit 2: OK, now I got an email saying DaP 48 is backordered. Say what? Deadnet does seem especially tech challenged this year.

    Always A Day Late And A Dollar Short

    There are times when I want to comment and don’t. At other times, I regret not commenting and it gets too late. However, I NEVER tire of visiting, reading and commenting.
    So, please bear with me:

    I believe that it’s perfectly ok to post about any topic you would like to (within reason of course). I mostly enjoy talking about other things in addition to the GOGD. I have learned about, and spent money on, many cds & a few books I never would have known about otherwise.
    I don’t mind sports coming up, I love sports, although seemingly no one likes the same teams I like.
    Even politics doesn’t bother me too much, even if it’s an opinion that differs from mine.
    When it comes to ARGUING about an issue, that’s another matter entirely. We police ourselves pretty well on here, at least I think so.
    Differing opinions (GD eras anyone??), really don’t seem to bother most of us.
    Respect of others, and their right to volunteer an opinion is paramount. No one, I feel, has a right to an ongoing argument on this sight.
    While I agree with a LOT of things discussed here, I certainly don’t agree with everything!!
    My best response to a topic or opinion I don’t like, is no response at all. What’s that saying, If don’t have anything nice to say…”
    There’s virtually no one on here that I could say I have a bone to pick with. C’mon people, we should OBVIOUSLY take care of each other.
    There were a couple of times people have singled out DAVEROCK, and my first reaction to that was, what?? This guy ALWAYS has good stuff to share. There was ONE time he said something that I was surprised to hear, and except for this post now, NO ONE would have known that. And I maintain that if I ever get lucky enough to go to England a 3rd time, I would definitely see if it were feasible to meet up with him for great conversations.
    Without a civil exchange of opinions/differences, how would we learn anything new?? An open mind is the best defense against differing views.

    Please accept an apology for a long rant. I couldn’t help it.

    Now, WTF?? I had NO IDEA Dave’s 2023 subs were available. I ALMOST bailed last year, and am glad I didn’t. I’m gonna pay the ticket, and take another ride!!

    Lastly, my Ravens play Tampa Bay on Thursday Night Football. I invite everyone to root for, or against them. I’m OK with that!!

    Music is the Best!!

    you don't get to tell me what to say or do so I will agree with you that you are wrong. I don't really give a f^^k what you think. But your ramblings confirmed it for me that you are incapable of rational thought and therefore are not worth my time anymore to reply to, did I not make that clear? I don't want to take it privately, just so you know, I don't want to discuss anything with you, here or privately, do you understand now? Is that plain enough for you? And one other thing, take your condescending attitude and place it where the sun don't shine.

    Another Layer of Polyphonic Tuning

    Here's something posted a while back by Doormouse on a Steve Hoffman Woodstock forum:

    "Andy Zax [who produced the 2019 WS mega-box] tells the story of how difficult it was to get all of the horns in tune on the Blood, Sweat and Tears performance in a Rhino podcast. He explains that all of the horns were confined to two of the available six tracks and that due to the conditions under which they were played and recorded they were out of tune making for uncomfortable listening and he explains that apart from one track on the fourtieth anniversary set nothing had appeared from this set in either the movie or on the soundtrack albums. Initially, as was the case with the Ravi Shankar set, the producers believed that the techniques used for demixing at Abbey Road Studios may provide the answer but ultimately it was developments in ‘polyphonic tuning’ that allowed the issues to be solved. This is a form of autotune but is tailored to the individual instruments to alleviate the problems caused by the less than ideal recording environment. The band were at a particular high point and were unhappy to have the recordings released with the tuning issues, over which they had no control, in play. And, in spite of the sax player, Fred Lipsius, stating that this was their worst gig ever, the result here is a triumph of modern audio mixing technology over the horrific environmental setting of the original mult-track recording. As a fifty year old record of a big band recorded in a muddy field in the cold, wet, early hours of the morning I guess you could say it is a magnificent achievement to all concerned."

    I agree that, for the most part, nobody in their right mind would want to be responsible for deciding how to rebalance players on a hallowed Grateful Dead recording. Still, there could be times when technical shortcomings of a recording might be repaired with a tool like this.

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.

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.

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.
