Grateful Dead

Don't forget #39 Conekid. I think there is a Shakedown on this release.

7-27,28-73
or
12-18-73 with filler from the next night to complete DP1.

Dave’s gotta keep the ‘73 ball rolling so that we’re at full speed for the 50th anniversary of ‘74.

DaP 47
I think that it sounds really good for a cassette master.
I haven’t done any side-by-side comparisons but I think it sounds better than 10-27-79 (my favorite Brent ‘79), which I listened to about 2 weeks ago.
Can’t compare with 12-28-79 (my 2nd favorite Brent ‘79) because I think that is a Betty reel or multitrack.
My 3rd favorite Brent ‘79 is 12-1-79, so yeah Dave, when do we get that show?

Only been through 12-9-79 once but I liked what I heard. I liked the Shakedown.
People been asking for a Shakedown in the DaP series, and they finally got one.

RV3 - I would tend to respectfully disagree. Surely 12/9/79 is an 80's show.

Disappointed with the quality of the recording of this Pick. It's dominated by vocals and keyboards - the guitars are dull and quiet. Not sure why this show was chosen. Surely there are other equally as good shows from this period but with better recordings. Are we just scraping the bottom of the barrel now?

Here in the UK I’ve had a shipping notice on 28th July . UPS finally got the package on 1st August. I’m not getting any UPS updates at the moment but it’s presumably moving. Anytime in the next 2 weeks will do for me.

Here in the Netherlands I have not received a shipping mail for Dave's 47 yet. I think this is the first time I haven't received such a mail. Maybe I've just been lucky in the past. The fact that dead.net says that they will send a shipping confirmation when an order ships is pure fantasy as many of us know. Checking the order status is a joke as no useful or relevant information can be found. Without a shipping notice one doesn't have a tracking number.

My HCS box reached Dutch customs pretty quickly but from then until PostNL delivered it to my door was 22 days. Are they all on holiday? Of course the $70 shipping on GD boxes has nothing to do with reality. They know that the box has to be bought from the store so they can charge what they like for shipping. I hate such greedy money grabbers. With the shipping and duties levied by customs the box cost me almost exactly $300.

What will come first? Dave's Picks 47 or Oktoberfest?

Does anybody of you getting shipping information?

All I can see at Dead Net is that I've ordered the subscription by an order number giving me in my PayPal statement. But no order confirmation from Dead Net!

No shipping information, no tracking numbers.

Besides that. The HCS-Box was 70 USD for shipping. Should be qualified for a UPS-fast and secure service but came after long weeks by regular mail, followed by a lot of hassle with the local post- and customs office. Actual shipping costs by regular mail were about only half!

Well, I don't mind paying for a qualified shipping service, but things get mixed up by Dead Net these days. Could it be Dead Net thinks we're addicts?

Cheers

For anyone who hasn't heard it: at the end of the Lakeside Chat for Dave's Picks 47, Dave says, "I will see you here in 3 months for the Dave's Picks 48 announcement," and then, "That's a doozy, that's a g... there's a lot to talk about with that one."

I'm just not sure that most of us define 'doozy' the same way Mr. Lemieux does. For me, a 'doozy' would be something that knocks me over - for example, let's suppose that in one of Bear's banana boxes were found the reels from one of the missing shows from the Soto List. For example, 11/22/1970 Edison, NJ. Now THAT would be a doozy.

But that's unlikely. So let's speculate that he's talking about a post-Brent show. Here again, a 'doozy' for me would be a show with some significance. 10/27 or 10/31/91, for example: for the performances, the guests, and the historical significance. (But then perhaps 11/3/91 is even more significant?) Could you go so far as to say the breakout after 20+ years of NSB on 2/19/91 qualifies a show as a doozy? Is 6/20/92 a doozy bc of the first Casey Jones since '84?

My guess: 8/22/93 Autzen. Even though I wouldn't personally call it a doozy, it seems to have a lot of fans. And we know Mr. Lemieux loves that venue...

gotta be from 68 or 69 or 70.

11/19/72? PLEEEEEASE.

the guessing game. We gotta wait until...October to find out.

HCS box is a doozy squared or cubed (like paper or sugar cube). Kezar will be heard on an upcoming road trip next week.

God Bless the Grateful Dead

91. Bruce and Vince era. It is time.
