    Subject: setting me on fire

    left the orchestra section during ship of fools and arrived in the loge for the basso profundo MNS - it's the best of the tour so far, i think, and the balcony is shakin' to its raging outro leading. i sit to take a short break, too.

    yet another night of the first set seeming to spill over. first half of this second set is well-played, indeed, but the sugaree is the INSANE highlight, and keith and jerry are battling it out. one of the strongest estimateds of tour and i, for one, am happy for the FOTD break. the second half belongs to jerry - eyes is short but stellar and bridges to yet another rip-your-heart-out wharf rat, and NFA showcases some down in the weeds jamming. we're stomping and clapping and grinning our faces off, and then joint is jumping for sure as they close it down. another fine UJB encore sends me out the door, so very deeply in love with this band and its music. is there anything better than being a deadhead?

    Is there anything better than being a Dead Head when one of your favorite shows is officially released in its entirety? We'll double down on your sentiments WolfmansBrother, with DAVE'S PICK VOLUME 50: PALLADIUM, NEW YORK CITY, NY 5/3/77, and we'll bring the fire extinguisher to cool you off after you listen to Betty Cantor-Jackson's complete recording. Don't want the party to end? We'll stoke those embers with a few hot tracks from the first set of  5/4/77. Dave's Picks Subscribers score the monstrous second set from 5/4/77 featuring "Scarlet>Fire,"  "Terrapin," 'Playing In The Band," "Comes A Time," and more. Woowee!

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    Re: Two Docs

    Doc_Marty - you got yours before mine arrived here in the US, which is awesome compared to some efforts in the prior years. Hoping there were no excess taxes, tariffs, etc.

    To the other good doctor, you did give me my morning chuckle. I think it was like ten years ago I posted somewhere here that 1977 reminds me of my supermodel ex-girlfriend. After a while, after that new car scent has worn off, she's just like all the others. I do like 1977 but I don't listen to this year as often as I used to (which was a lot in the early days). Sometimes you just gotta poke around. I don't have mine yet but I am familiar with this show and I do like some of those songs mentioned. I think zachfun, who used to post here, sent the full soundboard years ago which was the first time I heard a soundboard of the second set. I was happy to get it back then.

    Did they hype up this release or something? I do miss the log rolling, sasquatch hunting Lemieux seaside chats where his hype was spoofed only by the comic relief of the dead head, master salesman superhero ethos as. Marvel should turn him into a superhero and make a movie. I bet they'd sell their 25k copies pretty quickly if they did.

    Hoping mine comes today so I can give it another listen.

    Delivered by postie this morning. Really looking forward to this on repeat - unlike 49 which got 3/4 painful listen. Couldn't manage 4th disc. I subscribe so happy to take the rough with the smooth. The bonus has one of my favourite versions of one of my favourite songs....Comes A Time....indeed

    So, my friends, did it match the big build-up? LMAO............

    Any show with painfully long versions of snoozers like Fenario (ouch!), No Jimmy (ugh!) and Sugaree (double ouch!) cannot be considered a classic show, or even top tier. A very average, overrated, overhyped, fair-to-middling (that's for you, Dennis!) show. There's so much way better stuff that could have been 50, but we get this dreck.............

    With all due respect, I refuse to drink the Kool-Aid on this one. And I'm guessing I'm not the only one who feels that way....

    All just one man's opinions. I shall now dutifully crawl back under my rock, where I will crank Europe 72 to 11, smile, and shake my head.............

    What an EXCELLENT SHOW!

    While other's were bitching about this selection for the golden anniversary, I was sticking up for the show based solely on the unique setlist and fact the 2nd set hadn't circulated previously in SBD form. But after an afternoon listen, it's just an extremely well played show. First set gets a little sloppy and disjointed at times, but it's a lot of fun and long. But the 2nd set is really, really special! No Other One, St. Stephen, Scarlet -> Fire...but no lack of highlights anyway. Eyes, FOTD, Sugaree, Wharf Rat and NFA are all soooo electric and perfect! Uncle John's was a bit underwhelming as an encore, but probably because I was so enamored with what came before.

Got my shipping notice AND the GarciaLive notice today--good day.

When this was announced, I pulled out the TATTS and Download Series releases from this tour. I haven't listened to many of the Spring '77 releases, so have been planning a serious go-though where I listen to the shows in order, one each month or so. The announcement of this release made me realize that it was time to do the go-through.

The shows from 4/25/77 and 4/30/77 are top-notch, so now I can absorb this release, then mosey through the entire Spring '77!

...received. It'll arrive when it arrives. I've learned over the years not to fret over delivery dates. 5/1 and 5/5 were my first two shows, so this is a perfect sandwich. Warming up with San Berdino 2/26 and Capitol Passaic 4/27.
The Lowell George tribute has been ordered.
Off to see Willie Nelson and Family with Asleep at the Wheel tonight.
This is the first of many geezer shows this season. More later.

I've never understood what people mean when they put up a blank post with a little dot in the middle of it. Adedhed's was the most recent. I get the impression the poster isn't happy about something - but what it actually means I have no idea.

Some time last year I got one on time, I guess I had my fill for a while. I really hope somebody gets one today.

Been pondering getting a customized license plate, various ideas (has to be maximum of seven letters):

1) MICRODT

2) DROPOUT

3) MKULTRA

4 TUNE-IN or TURN-ON

With 2 vehicles it might be good to use maybe tune-in and turn-on, or turn-on and dropout dot dot dot

I never could figure out why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needed to exist. It's nice when, once in a while, a talented band or artist that's generally overlooked by the masses is inducted. Like say when the Stooges got in. But most of the time it's just "honoring" somebody who's already well known and already very rich already had plenty of honors.

It's certainly not about excellence, or influence. Gram Parsons isn't in there. Neither is King Crimson. Each has contributed recordings that are indisputable classics and launched entire genres of music.

And these days it's not even about rock and roll. Nothing against country or hip hop, but artists that excel in those genres don't belong in a rock hall of fame.

I wouldn't worry too much about DaP sales. If these were still limited edition runs of 12,000, they'd still sell out instantly. And reappear on the Bay for five times the list price. Fine with me if they take a year to sell out now.

But I do like the idea of revisiting some of the DiPs. I think it goes without saying the sound could be significantly improved over what was possible 25 years ago. Come on Powers That Be, make it happen!

Dot is all.

Always a good discussion, as of now (& subject to change)

1) GOGD
2) ABB
3) Yes
4) Rush
5) Pink Floyd
6) the Beatles
7) Phish
8) WsP
9) Little Feat
10) Genesis

Now listening pleasure is a different thing. Listen to 95% GOGD, or Jerry, sometimes Kingfish. Second would be ABB, third Phish, 4th Little Feat, fifth WsP.

That causes unnecessary brain fatigue. But, time to start the jams!

Wonder too, why Gram Parsons is not inducted, a pioneer.
But Madonna made it.
How is Rock 'N' Roll defined?
G.

Listen to GD 99% of the time.
Then Jerry.
Then a variety including Hendrix, Rush, Floyd, Feat, ABB, Who, Zep, Stones, etc.
A favorite that is underrated is Hard Working Americans.

I live 18 mins. from the RRHOF, and most here in CLE consider it a joke. I’ve been exactly once, when the special Grateful Dead exhibit was running. It was cool to see Dick’s reel to reel machine. It was years before the inductions were actually held in Cleveland. And the NY a-holes thought it was better to induct the home-town favorite NY bands like The Stooges and The Ramones before Rush and Motörhead. As Alex Lifeson said during his induction speech, “Blahblahblahblah…”. Silliness…
