Grateful Dead

A shipping notification for Dave’s 44?

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.

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.

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.

10/1,2/77 DL2 really likes to open the new year with a show from 1977, doesn't he?

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.

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.

Colin,
I placed my order as a guest and have received a confirmation of my payment immediately.
But.............GD-Store has not yet confirmed my order??

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.
