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.

Hey no - part 1
Due to increasingly stupid and/or incompetent actions on our part,
Hey no - part2
and the desire to keep you from posting benign comments,
Hey no - part 7
We don’t apologize for the inconvenience and thank you unkindly for understanding that we will continue to make this as hard as possible.
The fact is, we don’t really want you Dead Heads here messing up our space.
Seriously, it was the word allow-ing that blocked it all?
What a stupid site.
In that case, here’s the whole thing:
Hey, No!
Due to increasingly stupid and/or incompetent actions on our part, and the desire to keep you from posting benign comments, we are no longer allow-ing words and commentary on our forums.

Like I said before
Anger and alienate your customers
A swell business model
Melanie tribute
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.
Angry Deadheads
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.
"Nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile."
I had to look up Melanie....
....because, to be honest, I had no idea who you people were talking about.
Now I remember.
32 albums. Damn.
Deep into the Lakeland Florida '80 offering from TTATS.
The gift that keeps on giving.
Drumz is incredible!
Edit. That went through without a hitch.
And Space is killer here as well!
And loud.
My loves bigger than a Cadillac!!
Box - set dreams 2024
Small; Red Rocks 1982. Bigger; A Greek box (in the style of the first "Spring 90" - a show from each year). Big; Complete New Years Eve 1979-91.. A man can dream, cant he.. ?
Melanie
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.
Danehead - NYE
I think a NYE box would be a great thing also!
It's a good theme.
Melanie/'85 Dead
OK folks, I am officially done here. I tried to post a completely benign and unoffensive paragraph about Melanie and A bucket list game for me on Sunday.
I'm DUCKING DONE wasting my time. Have a good life y'all. Eff this ess.
Bridges Cars Hydrants Stairs Rinse Repeat
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.
the season
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...

**Re/ 2024 Boxset Hoping 1979
….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!
Heading off to Keller Williams....
....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.
Yes Proudfoot
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…..
I got my fix!....
....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!
Gate Crashers Suck....
....he played that as well. It's apparently about the '95 Deer Creek Shows. Hilarious 😂
Mackinnon is God! Lol
He makes all look so easy!
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…
Oro
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!
49 has shipped
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
Posting Patience and the Hey Now Police
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.
Non Notice
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.
Non Notice-With a Hey Now
Got Hey Now’ed, and then it posted twice. Oof…
