    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.

    From Nugs - A few nights back Pearl Jam was playing in Seattle. They did a tribute to Bill Walton. Weird to see Mr. Walton on their video screen wearing a big Grateful Dead shirt.

    From Nugs - Phish's Live Bait 21 looks awesome!

    From Live Sounds International an article with picture of Widespread Panic onstage titled " You Shall Not (All) Pass?
    Detailing a subwoofer approach to attain horizontal uniformity for a festival stage."
    By Michael Lawrence

    Got me some reading to do.

    Also been over at GD at blogspot. Reading a lot of great stuff. Have known about them for a long time. But really interesting to read articles like 1967 Human Be-In; which of course Bolo with his mother in tow ran across. Let me know if you see this Bolo and I have spoken truth or not.

    Cheers again.

    Just got an email from realgone. They have Dick's Volume 28, 1973; and Dick's Vol 32, 1982 back in stock. I grabbed the 1982 Alpine Valley show. I have missed the last few times they got it in stock. So I am very glad to see it and grab it. Only 3 Dick's short, hopefully complete soon.

    Would add more to this post, but I already forgot what I was just reading on this board. Losing memory can be a good thing "Officer I don't remember." Cheers to all!

    Got my copy of the reissue yesterday. The remastered studio album sounds great! Much much much better than my ancient vinyl copy, which is great because I feel like I can finally appreciate all the weird little things they did to fill out those 32 tracks. Lots of interesting sonic doodads (is that a backwards cowbell) lurking in there.

    The live show? Well, I've only listened to about 2/3rds of the first disc but I thought the audio was kind of disappointing, given that it was touted as being "pristine." It's one of those where the levels are being tweaked as we go so that vocals rise and fall in the mix, and if Weir's guitar was plugged in I couldn't hear it. Interesting to listen to, still, if only because Keith is so well audible and he's really playing well. And Garcia is really taking some chances. But the audio's not great, especially for WoS era show. IMO and all the usual disclaimers. Still glad to have it.

    The studio album I've always liked, even if it is a relatively slick version of the what the Dead were about. Clearly, they were trying to make a record that radio would like, and that has its plusses and minuses. Like the studio version of Scarlet is wonderful, great energy, really propulsive rhythm playing by, well, everyone. And it's concise enough to get played on radio. But it's also frustrating in a way, because you really want the song to open up and breathe the way it did live, and it's always disappoints me (still!) that it just fades out immediately after that calypso riff at the end comes in. But US Blues really benefits from this "short and sweet" approach, and Lucy and Money are similarly rocking if also similarly misogynistic (tho pretty much everybody was in rock world of '74).

    And China Doll is just a fucking miracle. Just sounds otherworldly in this pristine (ha ha) recording: Garcia's incredibly weird solo, those ghostly backing vocals. Wow.

    I'm figuring the Half Baked box will be announced any minute now. Probably happened while I was typing this.

    Last five, because why not?

    Coltrane: Meditations (the quartet version)
    GOGD: Mars Hotel
    TTB: Crescent (from I am the Moon)
    Little Feat: Feats Don't Fail reissue (similar to Mars, studio album sounds great, live bonus material not so much)
    Brahms Symphony 1 (a Phil favorite!)

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…
