Grateful Dead

God that was a shock, reading that. Such a great performer and so many amazing records. I still enjoy watching videos of her from the 60's and 70's on youtube.

Dave's 46 is one of the best Picks, to my ears. I enjoyed all of it, but the third cd is obviously where it all kicks off. I've enjoyed Truckin-The Other One's from 1972 more than any other Dead music this year, I would say. And as I have just started on the Lyceum shows from May, I am heading towards what may be the ultimate version on 26th.
Last 5

Box Set cd1 - 1966 recordings - Buffalo Springfield
Pushin' Too Hard - The Seeds
L - Steve Hillage
Rubbles Volume 14 - The Magic Rocking Horse - Various
Revolver - this new 2022 stereo mix - The Beatles

Special mention also for the 1928 blues recordings by Ramblin' Thomas "Hard Dallas." In the sleeve notes, it states -
"He presents himself as a lazy, unreliable, drunken backbiter always on the lookout for a meal ticket woman." Quite impressive, really.

For me, every delivery from Warners/Rhino/Dead takes longer than before, and because I’m in Canada, delivery charges have gone up enormously to $16 per item, yet items are still shipped the cheapest/slowest way possible. I really dickered on buying this DaP 46, given all the previous delivery issues, but given I still don’t have it, I’m absolutely certain it is the last thing I’m buying off this site. I can say with a clear conscience it is particular to this site, too, because I order world wide, never even close to as slow as this site. If you charge fucking $16 shipping, at least use it for shipping. I have deadnet shipping fatigue.

Finally got the second half of the bonus disc done yesterday.
If I had to guess based only on these few songs I would say Denver was the better show but of course taken out of the whole show context it is a guess. Thursday I should get the first listen to Hollywood. Been waiting for an empty house so I can crank it up as it should be heard. I'm trying not to piecemeal the first listen this time to get a better feel for it. It's just not the same.

Hey Jimrell sorry to hear you're also having issues. So after waiting patiently for two weeks, I drove down to the post office, where a clerk checked the tracking info and told me that my package was still with UPS. Later that afternoon, after dealing with the unhelpful UPS chat bot, I finally reached a live person, who told me that my package had been lost, but that because of the terms of service I couldn't open a case with UPS; I had to reach out to the shipper.

At that point I opened a ticket with dead.net, and then I also reached out to Marye here on the forums (because I saw so many people saying "DM Marye, she can help"). Mary was super kind, and I really don't know what she may have done behind the scenes. I waited another week. During that time I got an automated reply to my ticket, but nothing else happened. On the 18th I tried again (by replying to the ticket email, and being polite but expressing disappointment) and then to my surprise just a few minutes later I received a response from someone named "Sherry" at Warner. Sherry apologized for the hassle and told me a replacement shipment "was being processed."

The email also read, "You will receive a confirmation email when your replacement order ships. You have not been charged for this shipment." But that was six days ago, and I still don't have a confirmation email, so who knows at this point. Good luck! I hope things work out for the both of us!

....I listened to the bonus disc again last night during the 3rd period.
Yup. It's still good.

Obeah would it be possible to tell me how you contacted Warner?

I too have yet to receive DP46. My countless messages to dead.net have gone unanswered.

Thanks for any help!

Jim

I would happily talk more about DaP46 to help dispel the crickets. Except... I still don't have my copy yet, as it was lost during shipping. Six days ago I did finally get through to someone at Warner who said a replacement was "being processed" but since then I've only had my own private chorus of crickets. I hope it's quietly on its way to me at last.

Ah well, I listened yesterday to 5/23/92, since I was there that night. And during Women are Smarter, I could hear Weir testing his mic setup (happens a couple of times, at one point he says "testing") and this reminded me of what Phil wrote in his book about how Dan Healy was eventually let go for messing with Bob's levels. I wonder if this was evidence of that.

That CC was lame. It might not look so bad from behind angle, but from front you can see he keeps the pressure on and almost bounces…he could of crushed the windpipe or neck, phuching goon!
The announcers were like “well depending on if he ment it, or if he intended to hit on the shoulders…”
BS, that goon was going for throat! I think the refs got this one right with the time fitting the crime, though some got six months, some got one solid, but me and my buddy, got life time yeah…

Funny, relatively new Dave’s and besides us rule breaking nuts crickets…?

Happy birthday #82 Bob Dylan.
Look out, kid, they keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole, light yourself a candle

PS - Dennis: The crosscheck was vicious, something they are trying to remove from the game. No need for that stuff.
