Grateful Dead

....Dave's 43.
The acoustic UJB from Dallas is on tap.
And dead net is tempting the state shirts with only "144" made.
Has anyone here purchased the previous ones? They all suck man.
To be honest, most shirts sold on this site suck and fade. Fast.
Except the Thelma one. That one was awesome. Sized a little small, but awesome.
I actually was looking forward to Nevada's, fingers crossed that they would break the trend of pathetic art, but deep down I knew they wouldn't.
Fool me once, shame on you. You know the rest.

Man of few words...

🤮

Ha..

Spinning the DVD now.

They could release both the early and the late shows. They found some of the reels, and played some on the KPFA DEAD Marathon back in February., it sounded great!

Michael Pollan’s book How to Change Your Mind (video series too) is a great objective look at the history, including how that nut Leary fucked it all up, and continues up to todays modern renaissance based on science and empirical evidence. Fascinating book with hints of promise for truly amazing therapeutic advances etc.

First, I enjoyed 47 the first time around.. after I finish 6/10/73 I'll give it another spin

Good points also, DR. I forgot Pink Floyd and who can forget Syd Barrett. Too much of everything... After my teenage years I never really thought of psychedelics as a recreational substance. So yes, agree.. many pros and cons and there is no substitute for good judgement and sound decision making.

There's time enough to give 47 another spin and it won't be long until we get 48.

I had some thoughts about 48 this week. It's an interesting time at Dead.net. For a host of reasons (production runs expanded to 25k, secondary market responding to ebay taxing, possible saturation as we enter the 30th year of vault releases and possible diminishing number of great shows in the vault), they are not selling out as fast as they used to. So I think either this is the new normal, or perhaps there will be some reaction on their end.

If this is the new normal, it seems Dave has been delving into the better shows from the 80's and 90's for the final slot. We have seen a string of 79's, 83's, 84's, 87 and some 90's. Thinking Boise, Philly, Deer Creek, etc. Santa Fe from 83 is something they might break out one year. Call it a VGuy special.

If Dave is going to mix things up for the 4th release this year, I can't think of two better examples than Dave's Pick's 43 and 8. If there are more like 43 then perhaps we are getting another Bannana Surprise, I would also love to see another collaboration like Dave's Picks 8, which I think turned out to be an excellent Dave's Pick.

It is high time to beat the drums, bang the pots and pans and begin to get excited about that last pick of 2023. Wishing you all a great weekend filled with whatever makes you the happiest, add some extra sprinkles of mind blowing, good time music.

Well written/well thought out essay. No one I’ve ever met has “all the answers”. And if someone claims they do, run, don’t walk away.
I suppose drug ingestion affects us all differently, what with our individual body chemistry. I will admit to being intrigued about drug use early on, based on stories of the “Rock & Roll” lifestyle. I feel lucky to have survived my (20 year long) “experimental phase”. For those who can moderate, God bless you. My favorite drug & drink were the same. MORE!!
