Grateful Dead

also got the pure jerry 2/28/86,,,, they didn't have "So What",,, will try a different store later

I'm on my way through E72.
What a great show, unbelievable, the energy and joy the band puts out. Absolutely fantastic!!!! Love it very, very much. Last song, UJB, just started. Great!!!
Have a good one,
Cheers, G.

I'm so glad to hear folks on here are getting their hands on 3/2/69. These shows are ALWAYS in fashion.

@DMCVT that's the calculation I'd make too: why take a chance on the resale market if this is something you know you want? Might as well grab it now.

....where are you finding this?
In stores. Nevermind. I'm at work :(

GD 03/02/1969 to complete the LP series

The Doors Live in Bakersfield 08/21/1970

13th Floor Elevators-Bull of the Woods

Hey Vguy, must have been fun, those midnight races through town. Check fleabay as some secondary sellers and a few shops apparently breaking protocol have put copies up. Expect to pay around $150 and up right now. Bull Moose had the lowest price I could find, for an in person purchase experience, believe after a week or so, more shops will put them on line. 9000 copies, should be available for a while

Wasn't there a recent Dave's that had Mickey's beam in the Drumz? I want to do a speaker test.
Cheers

....3.2.69 in hand.
I need to leave. Now. Place is dangerous lol.
Ooooh. Phish LP on LP 4.
Ok. Now I'm leaving.

My copy sounded spectacular!

That's good news - mine is due by 30th November.

I also got "The Memphis Blues Box" from Bear Family delivered this week. 20 cds and one of the best and most beautiful books on music I have ever seen.

That's quite a box set!!!!

Struck out at two different stores trying to get 3/2/69, broke down and paid $155 for one on the Bay. What can I say? Hadda have it, especially since I already got the other three volumes in that run.

RSD still not a total loss, since I bagged a copy of the live Gram Parsons double lp. Which is pretty pretty good.

Hope this posts. Getting kind of pissed off lately by the random nature of what and will not post around here.

Dennis-it looks even better than it's description and weighs about as much as a baby elephant. I've been soaking up the sounds of 1928 today - with a nod to The Dead via the Cannon's Jug Stompers "Minglewood Blues".

I got stuck the
so what album from

anyone got where

Mine was $125 at a local brick and mortar.

If I recall correctly, this is what I paid, all at a local brick and mortar:

2/27 80 or 85
2/28 90
3/1 75
3/2 125

....I love the embossed 10th side.
Missed out on the first three though :(

Many shops are boarded up now in Lowestoft, and it's many years since there has been an actual record shop here. Apart from a small second hand one that sells mainly jazz . But record shops generally sell RSD releases online the day after they go on sale on location-and this is when I scoop up what I want.

When 2/27/69 came out, I bought a copy to help out the local brick-and-mortar store. Back then, RSD seemed to be worthwhile. Not sure I can say that anymore. Long lines and no inventory. Dozens of copies are available online almost immediately. So, I don’t even bother going anymore. Paid $125 to complete my FW69 vinyl collection.

VGuy, you should definitely be able to find 2/28 for a good price and 3/1 is available for about 55 bucks at some places right now (only 3LP). 2/27 sold out at the time, and has been fairly scarce ever since. 2/28 is widely available and in at least two different boxes of differing dimensions, one being very thick, the other about the size of 2/27. Just search for them, they're great prices right now, while the shiny new nickel, 3/2 is fetching a pretty penny. Snagged one for $119 that went to $135 with tax, s&h. Was unable to get to a store, and saw that was about the going rate, so, okay with that. Now have the cd box with bonus thanks to a trade here, and will have the set on vinyl. Excited for Plangent and vinyl sound for that first LP particularly. That Eleven features some unbelievable Phil and Jerry interweaving, as the whole run did. For The Eleven I'd go 2/28, 3/2, 3/1, 2/27. 3/2 is sort of the afterthought show, to me, but they still had a lot of gas left in the tank.

Was listening to 4/25/77 yesterday, and remembered I still need to get that vinyl, and also made me wonder if any other 30 Trips shows will be released on vinyl. 10/20/68 would be very welcome.

....I'm in.
The Eleven is one of my favorite songs by the band.
3.2 is the only five vinyl of the four, correct?

And, like 3/2, it has it all. Dark Star on its own lp, TIFTOO on its own, St Stephen> The Eleven on one, Lovelight on one. Dew and Caution and Bid You Goodnight. The Eleven on 2/27 Phil is all over it, but Jerry not so much. The next night, they're both killing it. Like you, one of my favorite songs.

....Death Don't. Morning Dew.
I moved the needle back to the beginning. Twice.
That's some good shit.

....$100k into AOXOMOXOA. No wonder Warner Bros was apprehensive.

Got the RSD here in Nottingham for £139 - always liked 2/27 CD best since it had the uninterrupted Mountains -Dark Star transition but this 3/2 vinyl pressing is just about perfect

....early afternoon they say.

I paid £139-99 for mine form Rough Trade. It hasn't been despatched yet, though. I have high hopes.

what is dropping tomorrow?

Jesus Christ, they sent an email at 1 09 in the pm that Rift is in stock. I click and in three minutes, it was sold out. Another email just came in, and they had Billy Breathes among other albums on vinyl. Was able to put Billy in my cart, but couldn't check out before it said they didn't have anymore. I just don't wanna pay 400 bucks for an album on vinyl. Why can't they press 10,000? They obviously will sell them.

....I got Junta, Picture Of Nectar, Hoist & BILLY BREATHES!!
It was touch and go though. The spinning wheel of anxiety was in full bloom.
I already have Rift.

Have any Canadians received their copy of Dave's 48 yet? The Picks usually take their sweet time getting here, but it's been over a month and I'm terribly antsy. And I find that dropping in to complain about the lazy river of international post is the best way to make Dave magically appear in my mail box...

Not received here in the Toronto area, either.

Lyceum 72 at my house

Woo hoo

Hope the pressing is as good as my copy of 3-2-69

Just listening to WD Port Chester 2/21/71. I would have loved to have seen pig playing this show. Any show, actually.

The gift the keeps on giving.

When I need a pick me up, I reach for one of these of these shows.

So don't ask me..
Hank, why do you drink?
Hank, why do roll smoke?..

Back after some Thanksgiving family time, and several days of prepping while continuing the ’85 fun. So Springfield 3/25/85 while the boys are getting ready for Set 2 someone in the band says “what is it?” then we get teased with lost sailor, and then terrapin, and, yes, help on the way! Next was Richmond 11/1/85, have to say it’s been a couple of years since I’ve listened to this Dicks Picks, but I think I know why Mr. Latvala chose it for release. Then I was off to 9/3/85 Kansas City, once again, no complaints:) ...Well, I can buzz better, baby; When yo' man is gone.

Last 5 non-Dead:
Johnny Cash: Live Folsom Prison (1968 vinyl)
Hank Williams, Jr.: Family Tradition (1979 vinyl)
The Who: The Who by Numbers (1975 vinyl) Nicky Hopkins on Piano
Chet Baker & Art Pepper: The Route, Live at LA Forum 1956 (CD)
Kingfish: Kingfish (1973-1980) Relix Release (1985 vinyl) tribute album to Dave Torbert

..Try to put yourself in my unique position
If I get stoned and sing all night long
It's a family tradition:)
Peace All!

I don't know how Ph announces their limited vinyl, but I've never gotten an email about it and am on their subscriber list. Hell man, the last two times Ph put up limited vinyl, I read about it here from Vguy and went directly to their site in time. Put Billy Breathes and Hoist in my cart immediately yesterday, checked out, came back 30 minutes later, all 6 releases sold out. So, thanks Vguy!

....follow them on Instagram. That how I find out.
A lot of social media is crap, but not all.
Oh. And you're welcome.
Oh again. Shipping notice received and hour ago for the ones I was able to snag.

this very day I and a group of intrepid travelers were at the second of two shows in a row in Florida, finishing the road trip in Gainesville for the Gators homecoming game and the one and only Grateful Dead as the headliners. What a ride. These were my second and third shows of 1980, having seen the guys up in Atlanta at the Fox in April. Would do it all again in a nanosecond.

The more I listen to 71 Dead, the more I love 71 Dead. Disc 2 smokes.

Precise. Clean. Cool.

Yea, Doc.

I thought about refraining from this.. but what the hey

RIP to one of the older dead heads out there and an early taper extraordinaire. You might remember him from his cameo in Dead Ahead telling us of the first time he met Jerry, then got busted by Tom Davis for having a tape recorder taped to his torso underneath his suit and tie.

Of course I am referring to Dr. Kissinger, 'Meeting Jerry was a great experience, the only thing I can compare it to was the time I met Mao. I don't agree with all of Jerry's Philosophies but he is certainly an American heavyweight, as am I'

No disrespect meant. Keep taping Henry

Edit - for what it's worth, I was flying from DC to NYC one fateful morning and was magically upgraded to first class. None other than the real Henry Kissinger was seated right next to me. After a brief hello, for the next 50 minutes not a word was spoken. It was surreal and strange.

....Phish is coming to The Sphere. 4.18-21.24. Just announced.

I found it surprising that the first couple of obits I saw last night failed to mention Kissinger being the voice model for Peter Sellers's masterful performance as the maniacal Dr Strangelove. I've always been fascinated by his immense celebrity as an intellectual that predated his roles in the Nixon and Ford administrations, such that Peter Sellers and Stanley Kubrick knew that the joke voice would not be lost on the audience, even in 1964. He has an important place in world history, that's for sure. But, he is the man most responsible for the continuation of the Vietnam War, because Lyndon Johnson gave up the presidency to try peace talks to end the war before he left office. Nixon was the one with the "Secret Plan to end the war" that was just a lie, but he had Kissinger actively sabotage the peace talks, promising the North Vietnamese that Nixon would offer a better deal. That is simply deplorable and treasonous. It cost another 30,000 soldiers their lives for nothing. And they expanded the war secretly and illegally. The fact he got a Nobel Peace Prize was absurd. It was crazy to read plaudits coming in from dictators and democratically elected leaders alike. I noticed that only one of the dozens of comments I read was anywhere close to positive, and it had 30 down votes.

This one arrived today - great in every way. I like the way that at this stage in their career they often dispensed with the first set, opting to play two second sets instead.

tickets out?

have you heard price?

....for best seats available. $138 after fees for the upper two sections. Lottery is up now until the 11th. Tix go on sale to general public on the 15th. I put in for Friday & Saturday. 🫰
Not bad, seeing as how U2 tix are going for a minimum $400.

I did not know the Strangelove voice piece, but I knew the rest.

The things you learn here. Like I said, I almost didn't post this here, but Franken did just a good parody on Dead Ahead, I decided why not.. and look what I learned.

I never bought a record by him, or saw him live, but his heart always seemed to be in the right place. Hugely important in the resurgence and continuation of interest in Irish folk music. Great documentary about him called "Crock of Gold" which is worth checking out.
