Grateful Dead

I would love to hear the vinyl remaster of this pick. I don't really have a "favorite" year for band. Sure, I like some ears better than others but, i consider myself blessed to "like it all". With that being said, Dicks Picks #2, 10/31/71, single disc knockout release! would definitley be in my "you can only take 10 shows with you" stack!!!

Who the pianist is, Beavis

Heheheh heheheh

I said pianist

Hehheh

My 48 was handed off to USPS, and the phuqing idiots sent it to the wrong post office. Who knows if I’ll ever see it. Dumbasses

BTK....once again, I'm sure we were at alot of the same shows .... I have great memories of Halloween at BCT in 84 ... both the music AND the crazy costumes ... as I recall, they did a great "halloween space". Also (still have) one of my favorite t-shirts ... black, full moon in upper left corner featuring Jerry's face in the surface, skeleton with shades playing a pumpkin guitar flying through the frame... "Halloweeeeeeeeen at Berkeley". Good times had by all..........tcc

Morning, rockers!!!!

Awesome sonic upgrade on the UCLA show. Super nice crunchy Other One. But I knew that already. Did you?!!!

Looking forward to 10/24/70 on drive home.............

Music is given to us with the sole purpose of establishing an order in things, including, and particularly, the coordination between man and time......

Rock on,

Doc
To listen is an effort, and just to hear is no merit. A duck hears also........

39 years ago today ( along with top China cat and allot of other folks who post here on this forum) we were having a great time with the the Good old Grateful Dead at the tiny BCT. Great show , great run. The Dead had put up big sheets of paper out in the lobby on the walls so you could write them messages.

I noticed when I ripped 48 in someone out there in internet-land created an into symbol....

17 - The Other One →

versus using ->

I like it, now I need to figure out how to use it!

Hopefully 48 will warm me up as it appeared in our box serendipitously this WE (no notice)
10/24/70 interesting after 1 spin…

Hope this posts…

Sold out.. ?

....still no notice re Dave's 48.

Yes, looks like it sold out

#46 and #47 are still available.

yes seemingly sold out.

Meanwhile my own copy is supposedly out for delivery. No notice rec'd.
edit/update: sure enough, received today!

… believe it or not , Kieth is only credited of playing piano on only one of the Dave’s Picks series so far which is Dave’s Picks #45. He also plays keyboards on this release as well.

Oh man I loved the BCT! Probably rubbing shoulders with some of you all there. We were so lucky in those days we had a connection for "family tix" down in front maybe center 8 rows back. I had a D5 in the brand new taping section and would run back there for the flip! Oh what fun we had!

In the house. Getting reading to rip it!

No music, no notice yet...

I bought the yearly subscription and I'm kind of worried that there's no shipping notice yet.

Spinning CD3 first.
Sounds grate!

Nice Brent tribute.

but #10,565 arrived today!

....sells some pretty good looking Dead attire.

No shipping notice at all but my USPS account says I will be receiving DP #48 tomorrow 10/31. I'm pretty much fed up with the customer service.

No shipping notice, but it arrived anyway, along with a few inches of snow!

I was heading out to run an errand and grabbed Pure Jerry from July 1977 off the shelf for the drive, but then found #48 in the mailbox, so stuffed that in the van's CD player instead.

40 years ago tonight, The Grateful Dead were tearing it up in their hometown and we were lucky enough to be there. It was really hard to get tickets for these shows at the tiny Marin Vets Auditorium. The Dead played great, and we really cut loose and had a great time. Next stop Halloween and the last St Stephen.

I never received a shipping notice either.

I think it was Thatmike that mentioned this book by David Cain a year or so back. It's a Deadheads guide, in that it written by one, for others, of all the shows from October, briefly reviewed according the the writers subjective views. Hugely enjoyable it is, too. Maybe not for everyone - he talks about things he doesn't like as well as what he likes, which might freak some people out. But I like it.

He attaches a rose to shows he really recommends, and I noticed he gave one to The Frost show from 10/9/82 which I think -forgive me if I'm wrong- Cousins recommended recently. Obviously a show to look out for if I've got that right.

yesterday no. 4756 w/out notification, no BIGGIE as that happens from time to time,
enjoy PAULEY and the Kiel Opera everyone!

Peace All!
uncle_tripel

10/12/68 has to be up on top of that list October shows, because it is a knockout and should be an official release. Cousins is right about 10/9/82 at the Frost, it was a blast and definitely should be released.

Fastest "sold-out" in a few years I believe.. Hopefully that will mean more 70/71..

Billy - yes 10/12/68 has got a rose, too. That one should have had a row of roses!

but the website won't let me post the discount code I ran across that brought the price down to $89.73....Hey Now That's Bogus Folks That Be!!!

test

Edit. damn I cant respond to icecreamkids kind words about my tribute to brent!

Damn, there's nothing objectionable in my response to kid AT ALL. Why is my post being blocked? Marye???

gfy

there's either gremlins in the machine or this is just another example of lameness taking over the world

#8914 arrived!!! Thanks so much!!!

#5925 has arrived unannounced.

Is the Kiel Opera House a different venue from the Kiel Auditorium?

Back at the tiny Marin Veterans Auditorium with the Good old Grateful Dead for Halloween. The last time the Dead would play St. Stephen. I saw the Dead play it 2×, 7/13/76 at the Orpheum Theatre was the other time. The Dead first played St. Stephen 5/24/68 in St. Louis, they played it 289 times.

made it home.

Trying to decide...halloween. Do a crack a cold one and delve into it tonight?

Maybe a bowl will help me decide.

Same building BITD but separate with one side auditorium and the other side opera house with the stages actually back to back. Auditorium torn down later but they left the opera house standing, now renamed. That wasn't the first auditorium on that site either as I recall.
Cheers

10/12, 1968.

Been forever, over 20 years since I listened to it.

A little philosophical discussion. I tend to agree that as much of the early stuff as possible needs to be released as soon as possible as there are precious heads that either went to that show or wished they had, that would like it to be released while they are with us. I still want the newer material but I think we owe it to these older heads to help them get what they need.

Edit: I still believe they will move to streaming only sometime in the not too distant future. I also think they are putting out these elegant releases as only they can do it. 25 years from now, these physical shows with elaborate artwork will be worth a fortune. I mean there are kids that pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for the digital image of a lunchbox, because it is the only image of that particular lunchbox. I am so happy I grew up when I did, the best of times, now may be entering the worst of times.

Trouble posting - I would image many realize how close we are to quantum computing. Once we have that, there are no passwords as computers can crack any code.

10-31-71 vinyl has been delivered on 10-31.

Number 18/3500 no less.

Probably won’t spin it for a few days as I’m going with DaP48 first.

Now to taste test some candy before I start handing it out….

Saw your message nitecat.

Made it home despite it going to the wrong post office. I never got a shipping notification

Never mind that #9641 had hit my mailbox several hours earlier today. It’s all good. Not spinning it tonight but read the liner notes already. Loves me some Bill Walton.

I’m a big fan of the Keith initiation tour so this one helps to salvage a somewhat lackluster year in the Dave’s Picks series. Very encouraging to see it sell out this quickly.

Good stuff!
Excellent release and I haven’t heard CD2 yet.

Keith is up front and going to town.

I had to go with disc 3 first, because I don’t have time for the whole ‘71 show tonight.
I just gotta say, when the boys bust into a St. Stephen riff towards the end of Good Lovin, well, let’s just say I “lost my mind” a little bit.
I’m always hesitant to put ‘70 ahead of ‘71 ( mainly because I know Doc is on here) and with his complete 1971 expertise and knowledge, it seems silly to prefer 1970. But I do. It’s just a bit more raw and unhinged. I’m sure Doc loves ‘70 stuff too, but, I like what I like. In fact, I will coin a phrase none of you have ever heard before:
It’s ALL good!! 😂🤣

Hey now is out of control

Can't post anything

Proudfoot style posts the only way to go now

EDIT: of course this one gets through right away

....which is a first for me. Like Mr. Ones, I'm going to start with 10.24.70 right now. Because I've got a double header tonight. Corpse Bride, followed by the new Evil Dead movie. Let's get greasy and gross.
Happy Halloween you freaks!

....this Dancin'!! Feed me Seymour!
Check out Phil! Yummy. Like licorice. The red kind. Red Vines. Not those tasteless Twizzlers. 🤮
Bonus points for those that get the Seymour reference. No Google cheating.
