    The Mickey Hart remix released as a DVD-A ca 2001. I was straightening up the music collection and after that task was done this release said pick me. Many a year since I listened to this one!! For those unfamiliar with it, this is very much Mickey's vision and all sorts of alternate vocal and instrumental threads are brought forward and woven into it.

    edit - not without frustration (I was tech challenged) but still a very cool listen. Was playing this through an external disc drive on my Mac. The disc can "in theory" be played 3 ways - Advanced Resolution Stereo, Adv. Res. 6 channel surround sound, DVD Video Compatible Dolby Digital, but I was unable to bring up any menu to choose one or another. Which of these it played I'm not sure. Everything present but the sound stage didn't seem balanced. Still all those crazy musical threads that Mickey brought in or brought up seemed to be there and I loved that. There also are interviews with Mickey and Bob - audio portion would play but the video was messed up. Oh well. Not sure if this mix is available for streaming (I don't subscribe to any streaming service right now) but if so highly recommend.

    edit 2 - taking a look at that clunky interface again this morning and realized that this time when the disc first loaded it brought up a surround sound playback, but after clicking back through the main menu it brought up the Dolby playback and now its just stuck on Dolby with no apparent way to choose (sure thing boomer).

    edit 3: looks like the DaP 52 comments page got taken down around noon. Curious.

    Not a legendary show, but interesting in its own right

    Apparently one long set

    Worth at least a one time listen

    "Pigs off the stage!"

    "We just flew in about 10 minutes ago"

    Other unique stage banter

    Doc-umentary about this show? You did that day by day back in '21 (which was awesome)

    The sixth was ok, good but nothing special…

    Onto these beauties today. Heard them mentioned over the years but have never checked em…

    BC, definitely spend the time with 12/31/80, “a really beeg shoe”
    Glad I finally got to it.
    You’ll Definitely dig the Bear tape on that sweet can set up you got going!

    Yeah things were so different back then. Until they got the hotline and then GDTS it was like the Wild West in the wilderness. So many shows that might have been if we’d only known : (
    Mail order was heaven sent as trying to get out of town tics before was next to impossible.
    Edit: yeah BC POTDWD was just the ticket during those days of uncertainty.
    Yes big thanks to Bolo and Marye, but GOGD really was the high point for me. I’ve “met” so many cool cats here, but something really clicked for me with GOGD. It’s like he was some kind of mysterious spirit that came and went with the pandemic. Things just ain’t been the same…
    And that was my gateway drug for shows lol. It got us all listening to tons of shows and many we might not of heard otherwise, and eventually I realized I’m listening to all these shows, maybe I should try and hit em all? And that of course doesn’t work very well on a forum requiring different people to do a group thing. So I realized that that path is for my steps alone lol
    So I love POTDWD, but can’t expect a group of more “normal” DH to try to keep up with my madness lol…
    Fortunately I’ve got the time to keep on Truckin’ Onward!..through the fog lol
    And fortunately we have this fun board to talk about em!

    The interviewer gets interviewed lol
    So Mary, did you know anything about the dead before or was it just something to do?
    I bet growing up in the Bay Area everybody at least had heard of the GD, but perhaps not many “KNEW” the GD? Perhaps thought of negatively by the normal masses of John Q Publics? Interesting sociologically.

    I had been steadily indoctrinated lol, so had been impatiently itching and waiting for about a year before I got my chance, seems maybe it was all complete unknown serendipity with you?
    If so, I can’t imagine going in a blank slate, especially NYE!
    Quite the baptism by fire eh!
    Did ya dance, twirl, do the boogaloo, melt in the last row, or just stand agape with your jaw on the floor lol come on, inquiring minds want more! Lol ; )

    Yeseterday had a hankering to hear Dark Hollow and reached for Ladies and Gentleman. It sounded so good that I"m back with Disc 1 in the predawn, this time listening on the Senns. That early '71 Skull and Roses sound is bliss. Those early Bird Songs are such jewels. Now skipped to Disc 4 cause I want some of that Alligator jam for breakfast.

    Oro - you're the hardest working man in show business!! Still waiting for a cryptic Almanac reference to you and a "DHB" - aka a "deadheadbrewer" - the hat trick of GD show listening. Ah, those heady early days of POTDWD when we had so much time (thank you Bolo24 and MaryE for that gift!) Nowadays I feel lucky to get a solid full show deep listen once or twice a week.

    Definitely need to borrow the time machine for 12/31/80 . Don't think I've ever heard it, certainly not in its entirety straight through (reported.) I remember my first listen to Reckoning, it was very late night summer of '81, and it just blew us away. Still wasn't that tuned into the GD world and I had no idea. Just checked and the LP release date was April 1 - pretty funny! Closest I probably came to an acoustic set - with close being a relative multivariant concept - was probably that Rambler Room one-off on11/17/78. About 10 miles from the house but probably not back on Turkey Day break yet, and also that Uptown run was not on my radar at the time so yeah not quite that close. Anybody looking for a banger Fall '78 listen try Set II from the next night (Uptown 11/18) - it kicks ass and it needs to be released.

    As for Indy 12/5/81 - when Dave finally releases it I'm pretty sure he's gonna say it was originally being considered for Dave's 20 ; ) I mean dropping a Big Railroad into the middle of that killer Set II pre-drumz?? Wat is happening?! That Space > Wheel is so very fine. Sweet sweet show.

    What a first show Mary. Must have been a blast.
    Would love to see this entire run released as a box set.

    Oh yes, Bills are still looking good OB. The Vikes have been getting it done. Bears on Monday night.

    I'm still stunned. Among other things, it had the acoustic set, soon to be famous on Reckoning. It ended with Ripple, which was new to me, and here I am.

From a podcast of Deadshow of the month I recorded about 15 years ago. No break between tracks unfortunately. So if I stop listening after half an hour, I have to go back to the beginning. Anyway, it opens with China-Rider, and is well good.

busy GOGD day TODAY...gonna have to start today with PHL 1981-05-02, because,
as we all like to say, 43 years ago...my friends and I piled into someone's 1970's or was it a 1960's station wagon for a ride down to the Spectrum...that's right I've got some high-test GD with my morning java...

but, of course...this afternoon's acoustic set will be 1970-05-02 [diP#8] @ SUNY Binghamton

Everyone enjoy your day, with Peace & Love for All!

I was at that Spectrum show. One thing in particular I remember was peaking during Scarlet>Fire and saying to myself, "whoa, they just played that backwards, note for note". Funny, the things we remember. Finally got a copy of that tape, and, no, they did not. But it was a damn fine show!

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to San Antonio November 12, 1971. Maybe not classic, but a solid, fine show. Lots of the new material on display and an Other One that bobs and weaves through many different spaces. Underrated and rarely spoken of. Always worth a listen.....

When it comes to Texas in 1971, Austin gets the love, TCU gets a hug, San Antonio gets stood up at the prom.

Our memory is and always will be as good as time travel gets, and in the meantime time will do the travelling for us.....

Rock on,

Doc
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.....

Hey rockers!

Right now I'm listening to 2/11/70, not sure why but it sures sounds great!!

My best friend and I were at the 6/21/84 show, we rode up on the motorcycles and had a blast. The three song encore was super sweet. Hey now!

And then we caught the SPAC show on the ride back. Those were the days!!!

Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain......

Rock on!

Dear friends

I truly believe that it is impossible to listen to the Grateful Dead while being unhappy. They won't banish unhappiness from your life, but will go a long way towards enhancing the joys that life brings.

Currently listening to "Dear Jerry: A Celebration....", with The Yonder Mountain String Band playing "Shakedown Street". The woman fiddle player's voice adds a great dimension to the song. Well well well....

started with Ball, then went to Heavy then to In-a-gadda-da-vida, then Metamorphosis (my favorite). What a great band, Via con Dios Doug.
Back in the day, every would-be drummer played that drum solo from the in-a-gadda-da-vida lp, it was like a rite of passage.
Personally, the guitar solo in this lp, the "iron butterfly" screeching during that solo is a sound that was coined as "Heavy Metal" before such a thing was thought of.
What a time to be young.

"How do you do?"
1976-09-25 at that Cap Center in MD, can't resist that Set 2, and no need to explain, just listen and BTW thank that mr. latvala for diP #20
[inside diP #20 don't forget about that fan letter stating "always felt it to be unfair to force Dead Heads to turn to illegitimate & poor quality bootlegs"
and suggests that the band "put out a line of recordings of your concerts."]
and so to TPTB I say "keep them COMING!"

A little bit quicker and...
we might have time to say "How do you do?"
before we left behind

I saw comments when 1-22-78 vinyl came out that it was a bad pressing.
How was your copy?
I suspect that some are bad but that there are some good ones too.
I didn’t buy it because of the bad reviews.

Cnkd - luckily mines 100% proof. No scratches or any audible interference at all. I have to say also, that whenever I have bought some L.Ps off deadnet, and one of them is less than perfect, it has always been replaced by them with no problem. I'd go for it!
Great show of course. I'm now back into 1978 for a while - Dicks Picks 18, featuring the two shows from 2/78, is a stone cold classic as everyone knows.
