Grateful Dead

Celebrities always go out in threes, or at least oftentimes it seems so and it's a harmless macabre game to play with no real disrespect to anyone... hell, I'd be happy to be mentioned in the same breath as Pee Wee Herman and Pauly Shore if we all drop in the same week.

Meisner went with Tony Bennett (class) and S. O'Connor. I always hated her music and attitude but have come around to having a little bit more sympathy for her as time has passed, and to be sure, tearing up that pic of the pope on SNL was very punk rock.

In the middle of a Dead binge... we just got home from North Dakota and Maine and have been to about 10 states for the last month. Boy am I glad to be home in hot as hell Colorado (they say more rain is coming) and I'm trying to get through that last box from 1973. Other than E72 I don't think the Dead were ever better than 1973 it's just butter. So far, a skip on disc 4 during China Doll is the only manufacturing error. If that's it, I may not even bother Rhino. Other than the spooky beginning I can't stand China Doll, and there's always Stella Blue which is sublime and good all the way through.

Dave's 47 #13002 in the house. Will try to get there soon. At least no atonal shrieking from Donna!

Last five: (excepting the whole new box set binge of 1973)

Alice Cooper - Alice Cooper Goes to Hell
Shooter Jennings - Shooter
The Power Station - The Power Station
Foghat - Fool for the City
The Meters - Kickback

Has been rather Phish heavy, guess acclimatizing myself to Vermont, and preparing for Saturday night at SPAC on 8/26 (I lucked out and got pavilion behind sbd):
Phish 7/15/22 Great Woods, my last show
Phish 6/18/94 great show that features a few Mind Left Body Jams as well as a take on Peaches en Regalia
Phish 11/28/94 Bozeman, MT, the 44 min Tweezer was runner up for A Live One, but a 2:15 snippet (from around 16 min) became the track Montana on A Live One
Phish 7/22/97 Walnut Creek, a top shelf show that featured a lightning jam during Taste
Phish A Live One, still love disc one, still cannot stand the Tweezer they did pick, but the Harry Hood and Squirming Coil are great

Still unpacking, and getting an idea where things will go in my music room. Finally have an actual dedicated room for it. To paraphrase Will Ferrell in Step Brothers, "So much more space for activities!"

40 years ago today, I was down in Ventura for a wild weekend with the Good old Grateful Dead. The Dead kicked the the whole thing off with China Cat Sunflower, what a show, what a weekend! BIG. FUN!

....been a minute. I have like last twenty's, but I'll keep it concise.
The Beatles - Hard Days Night
Phish - Rift vinyl
Clutch - Book Of Bad Decisions
King Gizzard - Fishing For Fishies
GarciaLive 20 - Cape Cod. Great show.

RowJimmy7,

Thank you for the kind encouragement. I've spent $300 this year on Dead.net music (with every order I have had to send an email asking where my ordered music is).

The kicker, I live close enough to pick up the music from where they ship.

It is as if they are pushing me away from buying the music legally.

Odd...

7/30/83 popped up on ewe 2oob.

I was lucky enough to be there

40 years ago. FORTY!

It sounds really nice

I wouldn’t worry about the shipping notice yet. I have received a number of Daves picks without one and sometimes the order status still shows that it hasn’t yet shipped after I received it. If another week or two and no CDs, ask for help. It only happened to me once, but there was one DaP that didn’t come after 5 weeks until I asked for help, and then I got it in a day or two.

I didn't get one either.
Order status doesn't say it has shipped! Same as in earlier shipments.
Poor service!

I will listen to it tonight then probably rip it tomorrow. It is in good physical condition.
