    I actually never said that you can't post political things, what I originally said was "it'd be great if these forums could try to focus on the music, reddit does exist after all". To back that up, I gave an analogy which, because you missed it, is a comparison of sorts like how you wouldn't talk about Adam and Eve in biology class, not that you couldn't. If you were able to read rationally, you'd see that I, several times, said you can post whatever you'd like, but that's not the literal topic of this forum. Not really room for debate on that, just kind of obvious. Hey, maybe you didn't know there are forums out there on the web where you can discuss whatever the topic may be, it's really cool actually. Again, for a place that's designated as a discussion on Dave's Picks, we're not doing a whole lot of that, but hey is what it is, right? As for me being an election denier, thanks for the assumption, and I'd guess you're old enough to know what they say about assumptions, right? Also, you equating my suggestion to talk about the music more to a politician denying women the right to advocate for women's rights is just as ignorant as the politician. I'd suggest you just read a little slower or maybe throw some fine tunes on, smoke a big fat j and relax before you feel the need to take so hard of a stance.

    Jack - That halibut meal (sans artichokes) sounds amazing. A bunch of us had halibut on the weekend, but it was “Fries with that?” kind!
    Hey, didn’t I tell you and Oro those Sabres would be a team on the rise? Give them a couple of years.

    Headline in my news feed today: “Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson stubs out fans smoking bud at heavy metal concert”. I gather the bass player for IM has an aversion to cannabis. The times they are a changin’

    I just glanced at a couple articles so don’t really know much, so I’m not sure Jeff? It sounds like it just got invented so I’m guessing the Woodstock thing is something else?
    You can check out stuff on Peter Jackson’s Let It Be which is where and what for the tech was developed. Giles Martin has used it via PJ for Live at Hollywood Bowl and Revolver redos.
    Somewhere the description is used: I was given a cake and when finished I had eggs, flour, sugar, etc…
    Very interesting prospect. I just wonder how that effects the original sonics but I’m guessing GM wouldn’t let it get released on Beatles redos if it wasn’t proper?
    But yes Jim it does propose a Frankenstein esque scenario, and I’m not sure of anything anymore, but I’d bet the farm that some Deadheads would most certainly have some kind of problem with it, especially if it was good lol
    Theoretically this couid be a game changer for all old music…

    Separating Two Tracks

    Interesting sidebar. There is a part of me that is really curious about how this would work and sound. There is another part of me that wonders how this would be received if Norman et. al. adopted the technology and set it in motion. I remember the feedback he got when he messed with Phil's bass a dozen or so releases ago.

    My guess is even if the techology were rolled out so others could use it wouldn't necessarily go over well. Separating out the individual components from the two tracks and monkeying with the levels might drive some bonkers. I bet it would be controversial at best. Well.. at least had Bear, Betty & Co. to save us some of the agony.

    Be well folks.. play dead, get the vote out. ..or as DHBrewer says, be kind.. rewind (to 1969).

    Hey ORO, Didn't they use the same technology or a similar instrument-separating technology on the 50th anniversary mega box for Woodstock? IE: Got BS&T's individual horns, etc. back in tune, etc. Would be very cool if that became available for future and/or revisited Grateful Dead releases.

    Probably old news to many, but I only recently ran across this. It's sort of a poor-head's way to listen to individual players on the China-Rider; Bertha; Playing in the Band; Sugar Magnolia from Veneta 8/27/72:
    dead dot net/playingintheband

    Sorry, but my optimism for the future is very low these days. I always thought that TRUTH was not a fashion or something to be molded to fit one's personal world-view and needs. We are losing/have lost the ability to listen and learn from others. Daverock's quote bears repeating: "Think it possible that you may be mistaken."

    I'm having a problem following your posts. First, the Grateful Dead was/is a political band, you said so in your post. Mentioning the rainforest benefit shows in 88 and specifically calling out 5-6-70 right after Kent State, I'm presuming that you must mean Phil's comment after the show? We all said that multiple times back in the day. Then you say there is no room on this forum for politics? Sucks for you and all the people who want to talk about the band and the music? A bit inflexible I would say, but hey, that sucks for me. Your condescending tone about the internet being a big place and there are other places for me or anyone else to post about other topics than the music or the band is just like a politician telling a woman she doesn't have control over her own body. Somehow I get the feeling that I'm speaking to an election denier, and I know that is a waste of time so I will end with this You don't get to tell me where or what I can say, dig it? On this site, only MaryE gets to do that.

    Damn, that sounds wonderful! I was all "died down", then I see someone calling, I think, me a selfish asshole. At least I didn't see it to be directed elsewhere. So look someone's gonna throw mud around and not even have the decency to direct it at me, I'm not gonna be quiet. But I'm all done arguing over this nonsense. Seriously, talk about whatever you want, I'll just inject my thoughts on whatever the release might be.

    Dave's 2023 announced with 45 looking to represent two spectacular shows from 10/1 and 10/2/77. Hot take but I love the fall tour even more than the spring, though I won't sit here and say the spring is not audio gold. There's a great Miller remaster of the Betty boards on the archive, check those shows out if you're unfamiliar, they are hot hot hot. Scarlet > Fire on the second night is especially so and new minglewood on the first is my personal favorite. Always hoping for 6/10/73 and 6/21/80 (also 71) so we'll see if any of those are one of the later picks.

That would put a stop to the practice pretty quickly.
Of course, not everybody’s going to boycott, so it won’t work.
But, you can still go to the event and wait until it starts and you might get a cheaper ticket.
Kind of like buying a paper ticket from a scalper after the show has started, but you’re doing it digitally.

Of course, even at face value the price is probably ridiculously high.

Like if Jerry were still alive

I wonder how much they would charge

The TS juggernaut must be otter-pocket happy over this publicity

....if you really, really, REALLY like a band/artist and wanna stick it to the man, go to the venue anyway, make sure your phone is charged and has 5G, and buy tix at showtime. You might miss a song, but you're a damn fan man!
Those bastard resellers will shed tix at face or less faster than a husky sheds fur in summer and they will take the loss. 🖕
And apparently, there are millions of Swiftys. Amazing.

I never purchased them when they were initially released. The GD store was cleaning out inventory many years ago and I bought a bunch of them. Austin 71, Denver 73, Louisville 74, the Fillmore 70 and a few others. They are actually fantastic releases. Much better than I ever expected.

Pete Rose is not the most likable person, but he certainly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. My sense is that they won’t admit him until after he passes away. Which is a shame.

....I remember that AJS. Got Dicks 26-30 for approx $120 back in the day.
#27 is the only officially released Welnick only that I know of. Which reminds me....12.16.92 on tap.
It's got a Shakedown.

Started off a little slow and the packaging was subpar albeit made from fully recycled, non-bleached brown paper bags. There are a few that sound a little thin, a few that sound a little fuzzy, a few where the master reels got played a few times too many and a few that sound fantastic. I think it was during this series that Jeffrey Norman found his stride. It was around this time we last time we saw Blair Jackson grace the liner notes and the artwork was mostly decent if you could see it through the fog of the brown paper. It was almost a great series.. "missed it by that much."

......but there are a few stellar classics that reached super stardom mixed in. The best has to be Valentines day 1968. Holy smoking crater of my mind I like to blow away batman. If your brain isn't splattered all over the inside of your skull, add in the bonus disc and strap in for an additional ride around the solar system, brain = cosmic debris, check. FE May 1970, Louisville '74, Big Rock Pow Wow anyone.. goosebump shit, wowwow stuff. Some of the bonus discs were more than memorable also. Man, sometimes we don't realize just how good we have it.

Now where were we.. there's got to be a 1968 banana box in here somewhere, shine that light over here Lemieux.

....JiminMD sent me a burnt copy of that in the mail when we first started communicating because I wasn't paying much attention to the releases at that time in the past.
Thanks Jim! It's still on my GD shelves.
Putting it in now. For first few tunes at least. No setlist written down, so playing it by ear.
Edit. An acoustic Friend Of The Devil is a grate start. 👍

Dig 'em. October 1977 may have been the biggest miss, but there a couple tunes worth the price if admission (The Music Never Stops, Let It Grow). It's also nice to have the last Help/Slip/Franklin of the Godchaux era, though I don't feel it's a great performance. This one may still be available.

Jimmy, you're right on queue with the Feb '68 show. Between some misprints on the dates I read about with the bonus tracks and disc, I believe we have all of the Eagles Aud show from 1/27 as well. Probably the biggest bang for the buck, considering the lacka good1968 recordings.

Same with 1974. Jerry comes through more prominently than pretty much all of the '74 two-tracks. One of my favorite Morning Dews on there.

1978 is great just because there's do little from the Shakedown era.

Still scratching my head on why there's no 1972 Road Trips.

Burnt meaning an original, paid for authentic CD that was unfortunately involved in and damaged twice by fire. First a barn fire started when one of my homemade tube amps from my big boy barn system was struck by lightning and caught fire. Don't fret as the disc, although damaged, was rescued and refurbished.. I do miss my barn though. Then while driving my vespa cross country in the winter to catch those rocking Further New Years shows.. the engine instantaneously combusted while crossing a snow crusted mountain pass in the Rockies. My first instinct was fortunately to hit the eject button on the stock CD player. Alas, although the disc ejected moments before the engine explosion, my prized bonus CD still suffered serious burns from secondary flames before I was able to safely put it in it's 'protective' sleeve. It probably would have survived if they used a different sleeve material, recycled brown paper bags are not very flame retardant, in fact as I learned in the subsequent moments it's actually quite flammable. Luckily, I had a spare and gifted VGuy my burnt copy which after some scrubbing with dawn dish detergent somehow still played amazingly well. Twice burnt but plays grate, what are the Vegas odds?

I'm sure this kind of thing has happened to many of you many times over the years. More common than one would think.

As you were.

Jim, your avatar well bolstered by that story... witness the DANGER sign... and now I know what the round things are on the left, souvenir tires from the vespa incident. Who else has stacks of old electrical equipment cobbled together for a time machine? They can re issue or license for re issue all the RTs they want, why not the bonus discs and for that matter, the individual Europe 72 shows, please and thanks, if any WMG Rhinos reading.

So much great music there and hard to pick a favorite but I really like 1.4 from Egypt with Love, that Got My Mojo Working! Really good. 3.3 is a classic and 4.2 from 88 is a great change of pace.

I could be wrong Jim, but I believe Blair also wrote the liner notes for Dave's Picks 1-3 and than seemed to leave the Grateful Dead world. Not sure why. Always enjoyed reading his stuff.

11/17/73: I’m not sure why this one hasn’t hit me yet? Now don’t get me wrong, it’s fall 73 and I like it very much, but of the few listens I’ve had…? Obviously needs more love and attention!
Great show but look at Deadbase at all it’s lofty neighbors!
I think it’s just that tour is so solid overall that it has stiff competition in the foggy crags of what’s left of my mind.
And that RT 12/6/73 disc is probably my single favorite live disc released with that monster Scary Moons Dark Star etc, phew, big medicine!

Nice to see RT get a critical re-evaluation here. I have most of the releases, and even repurchased one at a used shop just to get the bonus disc paired with it (the store owner would only sell as a set, and he knew he had an addict on his hands). Standouts to me were “Egypt” (Vol 1 No 4), and the November ‘73 “Denver”.

Earlier this week, there was a lot of talk about the TicketBastard fiasco with Taylor Swift and the Swifties! A great article in my news feed today worth reading about the fans going after TicketBastard, entitled “Radicalize The Swifties”, from Slate (?) magazine. One line I liked: “But the company has never shaken a beehive quite like the Swifties. Swift’s fanbase is as rabid as they are loyal to the megastar…”
What I found most telling is that Swift, herself, has been somewhat quiet about this, and perhaps she stands to score big on this. But do you bite the hand that feeds you??

A Jazz reissue out I’m intrigued to hear, and wondered if anyone has heard it before (apparently, it was ultra rare): “Secret Sauce” by Eric Ghost. The album came out in 1975, and this guy is credited as being the guy that “invented” blotter acid, after spending time in Morocco, while stationed in the military in the 60s. He subsequently spent time in federal prison, and dropped out of site, and now the album is being reissued. Not sure if it is good or not, just found the background interesting, and wondered if anyone has ever heard it?

Individual E72 shows were on sale forever. Nobody purchased them. I suspect that is why Dead.net decided to have an inventory sale.

Did pick off a bunch back in the days when they were $20-25 here, and foolishly stopped after deciding about half the trunk was enough. Would happily back fill a few more, my appreciation for that tour has only grown over the intervening. No reason why they could not allow reissues of singles shows imho. Or downloads.

Sorry Dennis, but I’m helping you build what I already think is a very bad ass music collection!! (I bought the Dylan box set, too, but on CD). However, to stay in your wife’s good books, I won’t tell you that Blue Note, Rhino, and our very own Dead.net have a huge blockbuster sale going on. Huge.

Hola!
I’m with you: missed out on the E72 box for various reasons…
Started to slowly purchase ala carte, mostly for the big Dark Star shows.
Wish I would have caught the “AJS sale”…
Then they went away. I was hoping they’d do a reissue for the big 50th but I guess that might have cut into their vinyl sales? Though I do have most of the shows, several ala carte, several from the good folks here in Deadland (thanks again to those kind folks), it would have been nice for collection purchases to have all official releases.
I know first world problems for sure. At least I have ALL those magnificent monster Dark Stars!!
Reminds me, need to hear more of those!
Happy Friday folks, stay warm, be safe. To my peeps back on the balmy west coast of NY, hope you have those snowblowers ready!

Howdy Mike! You guys getting in on the lake effect action up there in Canadaland?
I think Dennis should be giving you a finders fee for all the “help” you give him with his awesome collection lol

Oro - Nope, pretty well snow free here! They are moving the Bills game to Detroit, though. But I really like your idea about the finders fee, Oro! I think if I ever meet Dennis’ wife, I’ll have to introduce myself as “Oro”, because I suspect she is pretty pissed at That Mike prick for enabling Dennis to abuse the credit card! ;)

Still no sign of 44 north of the 49th.

I did the exact same thing. Bought the individual highlight shows, 4/8, 5/26, etc. It got to be expensive after a while so I just decided to sucked it up and purchase the all music only version as a Christmas present to myself.

To be honest, it is nice to have all of them, but in reality, I only occasionally listen to entire shows anymore. When I do, it is the same choices, 4/14, 5/3, etc. I did play the 5/11 Dark Star while attempting to watch the Packer Titans game last night.

Is is just me or is the video quality on Amazon Prime football games just awful?

There are some really cool photos of the snowstorm in Buffalo. A literal wall of snow just south of the city. I would post them, but you know . . .

Good God the man has suffered enough, let him in you jerks, and while you're at do something about the cheating 'Stros.
I really liked the RT series, but I think I was the only one. If El Paso hits my speakers I fast forward, same with about half of Bobbies other songs, I'm here for the Jerry. For a while there was a bonus disc with every release, that rocked. Louisville 74, Valentines 68, Austin 71, Pow Wow 69, and of course 5.15.70. I think that was the first time they offered a subscription too, maybe towards the end. Most were excellent, just not full shows which most here didn't want, too bad, they were/still are terrific

Reading through some other threads, looks like delayed shipping is a common problem. But this is the first time my subscription delivery has been this late. Tell me to be more patient or something. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! I emailed customer service to inquire and was politely told that it could take 10 days to process once I got the shipping notification, which was on 10/27 (way more than 10 days ago now). UPS and USPS both still say currently waiting on package so I'm at a loss. Is this normal? Will it ever arrive? The daily mailbox disappointment is a first world problem that is surprisingly depressing.

Big ups to Jim, Mike(you know, THAT one), AJS, Stoltzie and others, for the reminders about Road Trips. Jim helped me by providing the only disc in the series I was unable to obtain, the Cal Expo ‘93 Bonus Disc, and it is great!!
So, I dug into my bonus disc from June ‘74(Louisville etc.), and holy frijoles, I did not remember just how mind blowing that disc is. A mighty fine Greatest Story(not my fave at all), a fine Dew( aren’t they all fine??). But after a rollicking Truckin’, the 13 minute Jam(mind blowingly fantastic) into a sweet Wharf Rat. My God, just let me die now, I’ve gone to Heaven!!
So what to follow that with?? Why, the first subscription bonus disc, and the awesomeness of a 43 1/2 minute Dark Star.
Calgon take me awayyyy……

....damn. You are old Mr. Ones lol.
It's not margarine. It's Parkay! Hey. They both suck.
Going up to cold country soon. Northern Nevada. Realized I didn't have a decent coat/jacket because Vegas. Went with a Kuhl. Always nervous ordering shirts/jackets online because i have a long torso and arms and legs.
But this fits nice. Any of you frigid temp heads familiar with that brand?
Buffalo getting hammered with what some call lightningsnow. It's a mix. Of lightning. And snow.
So many new meteorological terms I've heard in the past decade or so. Don't tell me the climate ain't changing. Zip it.

Like you, I began purchasing single Europe 72 shows for $25 each. If I recall correctly some of the more popular shows like 5/26, were $30. Maybe that’s just because it was four discs. Anyway, Dead.net had a 20% off sale around the holidays one year. So, I bought the whole tour for something like $350. I think that’s when I bought all of the road trip releases as well. Shortly thereafter everything was gone.

Still no DaP44 for me either. Both UPS and the USPS blame the other one. Maybe now they’ll blame the snow in Buffalo as the cause.

So, I spun the Austin 71 road trips disc. That NFA jam is something else.

Went with this RT selection, did not disappoint! Scarlet>Fire is always sweet. I forgot how good this series was. I have 2 or 3 I didn’t get initially, that I’ll watch for in the market.

VGuy - not familiar with Kühl gear, but looked it up, nïce! Very nïce!

same done for Euro72 shows, shows with Dark Stars came first... but that left out too many TOOs... happy camper to have about half the trunk on the shelf. Just two inches of heavy wet snow here on the east coast of Vermont a couple days ago but its cold cold cold. Takin' off my sailin' shoes. That Neon Park album cover with cake on a swing is on display in the music library. Killington has been pumping out snow for a big competition, opened to the public as have many other ski mountains this weekend. Melt down in the valley, weather people showing how lake effect plume dumping feet in western NY stretches all the way over to VT border. Feel sorry for those folks too much too soon like winter. This weekend, will have to fondle the RT collection, truly some outstanding stuff there. That Hard to Handle on RT1.3 bonus disc (from 8.6.71) one of my BOATs, Jerry on fire.

Oro - I took the dog down to the lakefront park where I live, and I look across the lake towards the Western NY area, and cannot believe they may be getting buried under 4 feet of snow by the time this is over, an area I can see on the horizon, while I have a neighbour raking up leaves, absolutely no snow here. It is too weird! It is a Bermuda Triangle - Northern Edition.
