    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.

    VGuy - I don’t believe in coincidence, either, but one last one on the Band.
    You mentioned Strider in reference to New Mexico. He told me he was a New Mexico native, and that he was a big Band fan, and in 1974 he hitchhiked through Canada, and one of the jobs he did for traveling money was picking tobacco in Simcoe, Ontario, a small farming community that Rick Danko was raised in and around.
    Too weird.

    Crow - that's one of the best Dylan live box sets, by my reckoning. Light years away from the stadium rock featured on Before The Flood, it feels ragged and inspired. It also features a great dvd. Look out for Mick Ronson playing the riff from Jean Genie as rhythm for A Hard Rain.

    I also like that 4cd Another Self Portrait. One of the few albums I bought as a download instead of a physical object. Bit of a mistake, perhaps, but better than nothing.

    Dylan box..

    If 27 cds with (mostly) the same set-list is too much - I recordmend the wonderful "Another Self Portrait" (4 cd) box. It is sold out and a little expensive, but it has the Dylan/Band show from "Isle of Wight 1969".. great stuff..

    "Let Phil sing!" sprouted from the ground ever since. You gotta let it grow.
    Talk of New Mexico reminds me of strider, who used to post here quite often.

    Very strange timing, considering the Dylan & the Band Boxset was just announced today, but it was also announced today that Mary Martin just passed away, at 85. Who?
    Mary was a Toronto gal that saw the Band playing around town in their Hawks days, and befriended the guys. She later went on to work for Albert Grossman in New York (Dylan’s manager), and it was her that introduced Dylan to the Band, felt they would work well together.
    The rest is history.
    She worked with other artists like Peter, Paul & Mary, Van Morrison, and Leonard Cohen, but later worked her way to Nashville in A & R, and became instrumental in the careers of people like Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, and Keith Urban.
    RIP Mary

    I'm not sayin reissue a bunch of upgraded Dicks INSTEAD of more new shows. I'm sayin do BOTH the current archival reissue program AND upgrade some Dicks. All I want is everything. Is that too much to ask?

    I'm-a have to do some thinking on this new Dylan box. Always dangerous! For whatever reason, I never listened to Before the Flood very much. The Rolling Thunder tour seemed so much more inspired, if also more ragged. Anybody got THAT box set (ie The Rolling Thunder Review 1975 Recordings)? If so I'd be curious to hear your thoughts. Almost bought that one about eleventy seven times.

    Listening right now to the Des Moines shows from the spring '73 box and it is fine fine fine.

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.

Vguy - love the sentiment "You will never regret being kind."

Best way to live life!

That too me is the test or the acid test...are you kind? Great Hunter Thought.

Cheers-that explains it. I used to see things like that floating in the air once upon a time. I never knew what that was all about either.

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…
