    Anyone who has ever seen the Dead can testify that one of its shows will add quite a bit of color to the environment here at Stanford. Anyone who has not seen one of these spectacles should have the opportunity to do so. The Grateful Dead are an important part of the Bay Area's cultural history. Those of us who saw them last week can testify that the Dead are alive and well. The Concert Network would be hard-pressed to find an act which would bring Frost Amphitheatre to life as the Dead would. - The Stanford Daily

    As you know by now, we'd certainly have voted aye on this motion, so much so, that we've loaded up DAVE'S PICKS 49 with not one, but two complete Grateful Dead shows from the Frost Amphitheatre, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA 4/27/85 and 4/28/85. The first shows from '85 in the series, these back-to-back hometown performances couldn't be more different while delivering the same level of passion and precision, five hours of it, in fact.

    In 1985, the band were celebrating "20 Years So Far," a feat that found them on these particular nights confident with invention in terms of both setlists and playing. There are old songs renewed, rare covers revived, undeniably nuanced Jerry moments, and a few surprises from Brent Mydland too. While it's impossible to select highlights, we can say with certainty that the overall clarity of these shows is unparalleled, courtesy of Dan Healy's recordings.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 49: FROST AMPHITHEATRE, STANFORD U, PALO ALTO, CA 4/27/85 & 4/28/85 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    I have just sent you an email about that Dead album.
    It's very difficult dealing with loss. From my experience, the tired oild cliche about time being a healer has turned out to be true. Of course, I will never forget loved ones who have died - but the pain of loss, for me has diminished as years have gone by. Years being the operative word.
    With forgiveness, it is often considered to be letting perpetrators off lightly in some way. But for me, it's main function may be that it helps us who have been hurt to survive. The longer you hate the worse you feel - and it goes nowhere. Just my personal experience - we are all different, and I would hate to belittle what you are going through.
    I don't know if I should mention it - but I saw an interview with someone called Esther Ghey yesterday-it was on Good Morning Britain on t.v. last week. Her 16 year old daughter was murdered last year. In her interview, she stressed the need for more compassion and mindfulness, which she hopes to see taught in schools in the future. It was one of the most moving interviews I have ever seen.

    Such a sad outcome. I would guess there might not be a legal remedy in that system but I hope he doesn't get away with it! Our condolences Needful.

    Under the category of "you give one, you get one" I just got back from the store where I gave my cashier one of those ugly golden dollar coins as a tip since I have a bunch left over from culling through a roll of them while collecting the set. She thought I was like one of those G-pa's that gave real silver dollars BITD, lol. Not so much. Then I'm at the mailboxes and an old lady gave me a giant Valentine card "to give to your sweetie". Goes to show you don't ever know.

    Cheese and rice dude, again, so sorry and only hope you don’t let this bring you down too low. Hang in there, concentrate and remember all the awesome times you had with Kevin instead of the loss etc.
    Helping the ex, beyond being the right thing to do, will also help you all during this unfathomable time!

    Ok, hope this posts…

    Oh, send your 48 order number/info etc to Marye. She usually can get it to Doctor rhino.

    Finally, how the hell did you get those long posts by the HK nazis?
    See, things are already looking up ; ) JK, but laughter is big medicine too!

    Seems there’s no accountability anymore, anywhere, but when you basically kill someone you should have to pay, HARD!
    This truly pisses me off, and I didn’t even know your Bro.
    What I don’t understand is how there’s not some safeguard or other opinion or some kind of advocate specifically for such situations?

If you want to honor her memory, I can think of no better way than a trio of clips from the Kids in the Hall's Amazon season. Look for Doomsday DJ wherever videos are housed. It was the sketch that won that whole season for me. Dave Foley is gold, and you will never heard Brand New Key in the same way ever again.

Doesn't that go against the message I've been receiving from the music all these years?
We shouldn't let some "Hey Now's" ruin our good time.

Sorry to hear Melanie passed away. A powerful voice, I had a crush on her back in the day. That song - “Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)” - she did with the gospel group still gets me, as dated as it is.
On more contemporary topics, is everyone getting shipping notices yet, at least the subscribers? I’m al a carte, but an average of six phucing weeks from mailing to delivery, let’s get this edition OUT.

I saw her at a festival in England in the early 70's. I can't remember what or where - that's how it was in those days. Her performance was great with a really powerful rendition of Ruby Tuesday. Great stuff. She looked really cute too.

Can’t anything be done to fix this site, or more accurately, will anything be done to fix this site? Lots of loyal Heads getting rightly peeved off. The Dead are more than just another band, and you’d be hard pressed to find better fans, and good people. Cut the cap-t-cha would be a start, it’s on steroids.

I was sorry to read about Melanie too. I only heard her singles - "Brand New Key" and "Look What They've Done To My Song". Also her cover of "Ruby Tuesday". Mott The Hoople covered "Lay Down" on their album "Wildlife". What a beautiful face she had.

spring is heating up in them thar mountains, Mr. Bob Dylan brings his band to town in March for 2 nites and in April, Live Dead and Brothers will grace the stage. Hell of a line up Les Dudek, Tom Constanten, Mark Karan, Duane Berry Oakley, Scott Guberman and Pete Lavezzoli playing The Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead from 69 to 73. It's not the real thing, but it's close enough to pretend...

….Daves Picks #31 was a 79’ performance & the cover artwork was a dragon. The Chinese New Year 2024 will fall on Saturday, February 10th, 2024, starting the year of the Dragon. I’m hoping the next Boxset is “chasing the dragon” of 1979 Grateful Dead’s magic!

Excellent. At this point, I’ll even take a “just for show” notice. The preview on Sirius today of 49 whetted my appetite.
PS - Is Nate MacKinnon not MVP material, or what!

....let's see what he's got.
Looks like a mini-tour. Vegas, SLC & Boise in three consecutive nights.
My first concert in over three months.
I need my fix.

Vguy is meeting with KW to obtain some real estate, namely a parking spot in the Sphere parking lot so that in the future, after he pays $1k for a concert ticket, he doesn’t have to pay another $1k to park.
Planning ahead…..

....utmost respect to Keller. One man band and looping master. Very impressive. Even pulled out a Scarlet Begonias, Deep Elem, Life's Been Good To Me So Far, Another Brick In The Wall and Phish's The Wedge.
I'll be seeing him again if he comes back around. He also breaks out a cool mutron tone.
Very small crowd. Maybe 1000 people. That's OK though. Those 1000 people were getting down!

But hey, them Leaf’s hanging in there so far!
And Bu faf is at least watchable this year if not quite there?
But hey it’s only January so…

Mike and AJS would be proud how much “best game in the land” if been watching this year. Secret is tunes…

Hey Amigo. I think Jack got pissed off at trying to post here, which I totally get.
Tunes during games are often a must. The worse my teams play, the louder it gets!
Big Nate is my vote for MVP so far. The great ones always make it look so easy. He’d look right at home in a blue & white jersey…!
Be well!

As the subject line says. Just got home and got the confirmation email (lol can't seem to post the time it was sent or I get hey now'd)
(update: it's the colon that gets me hey now'd)
(update: no it's not, it's trying to put a number then a colon then a number.)
(yep that's it. Even something like six colon six triggers the hey now)
But I suppose I can say that the email was sent out at 1630 hours

Good name for a band. NOT.

For the life of me, I cannot imagine why this 'upgrade' is so hard to undo. Unless, of course, it was outsourced and the specs were agreed upon in advance meaning to undo it means you have to open up another contract and get budget money💵. Then again, when you type money you get an emoji 💵 popping up, so clearly this is an upgrade even if you cannot type about the weather or time or say, the music of the best band in the land.

Ridiculous I say, everyone is frustrated beyond belief.

In typical Dead fashion, I see a package coming from Gnarleywood in my USPS account. But I have not received a shipping notice. Oh well. I think
I’ve had all combinations of: Notice, No notice, Tracking with updates… One time it just showed up outta the blue. If history repeats, should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday.
