    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.

    Anniversary show 6/8/75 El Camino Park

    49 years ago I was over at El Camino Park in Palo Alto to see Jerry Garcia, Kingfish and the Rowan Brothers. What a blast! The Dead played in this park on 6/1/67. My brothers friend made the poster for the show, you can see it online. Fun times!

    got pipes

    One of the more wild/weird pipes I had required two people; and yes we used to drive around with it. It had a decent round base with a nice sized bowl. It was kinda after the hookah thought/design. Instead, it had one long tube coming out of it, attached to a face mask. I can remember Driving around the neighborhood (hiding) wearing a face mask. You had to breath until you suck the bowl down. It was enough you had to open the mask just to get some air. Usually, one bowl was enough.

    Shout out to old, guess now defunct, Mary Jane's Head Shop, Nashville.

    Thanks for the steer TNJohn. It's amazing how far smoke-ware has come in 50+ years. Genius Pipe's Passion series checks all the boxes. I'll take one of each. . . No need to remind you to have a nice day! Savor the sights and sounds. Onward.

    Pipes And Such

    Don't have a bong anymore. My son doesn't smoke, so I'm a 99% solitary toker. Currently smoking a Bertha pipe.

    What's a Bertha pipe, you ask?

    Go to Genius Pipe website. Click on limited pipes. Go to the one marked Passion, and there are 3 different styles. I bought 2 different ones, for when one is in the cleaning stage. These are awesome little pipes with a sliding cover, so you can easily transport a loaded bowl. Easy to clean, and the screens they sell stay seated well in the bowl.

    Best part of all, I get to look at Bertha while I'm toking.

    Speaking of things that make the day better, I currently have 200 mikes of mind candy sitting on my tongue.

    It's gonna be a great day y'all!

    Peace

Thx Icecrmcnkd, that WAS an LP, not a CD. I nabbed a sealed copy.

Maybe I need to get a turntable now.... I can see the domino effect cascading and becoming a vinyl slut.

Oh well, HF

In case you haven't heard, Real Gone is going to issue a vinyl version of Dicks 12. Which is a killer diller, some of jammiest jams ever. It's a run of only 3000, goes on sale Thursday. You've been warned.

Also, I've been trying (trying and trying) to post something to say how grateful I am to everyone who helped sort out my problem with the defective disc. Thanks Doc, Mary, and everybody else!

And also to thank everyone who sent kind words and good karma after I posted about my mom's dementia the other day. There's some very nice humans around here.

Hope this doesn't get Hey Now'd. To the best of my recollection, I am not now nor have I ever been a robot.

....this slut already spent his allotted record $ this month. Thanks Crow, I guess.
Then again, my birthday is next week.
So I have an excuse teacher.
Just listened to 12 a couple of weeks ago. Stays in semi-regular rotation, as it should be in all of our homes.
BTW, this is what I bought at the record store Sunday after seeing my mom. King Gizzard And The Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana. Phish - Fuego. My Morning Jacket - Z.
I got a little high last night and was totally absorbed in that Gizzard record. Good stuff.
Careful HF. It's a helluva drug my man.
Edit. Good excuse to get 12 Joey. It's for sale on Real Gone. CD that is if you're not the slutty type.
Edit again because hey nows aren't effecting me yet. My father passed from Alzheimers Crow. It's a rough road that one. Peace.

... and at all three of the Greek 83 shows ... some of the best times ever. As I sit here today, I STILL recall the Friday Let It Grow ... I was only a year into the Dead and this particular live rendition was just so over the top ... it kept building and building. IMO, it holds up after all these years .... tcc

Thank you Vguy, yeah cd for me or sometimes digital, no vinyl; I need that like a hole in the head. Man, these reissues are expensive, either way I'm looking for one. There are a few Dicks I never got, mostly the compilation types...

Problem is, Vguy, I'm already a CD slut, a concert slut, and a just plain slut.

That's the upside....

P.P.S. My dad went out two years ago with dementia. Anyone suffering from it or being a caregiver has my complete support and best wishes. Truly.

Really hoping to get this one, trying to be ready precisely at zero hour. Missed DiP 1 by that much. I think 11 minutes, and they were gone like Keyser Soze. But as much as I love that Here Comes Sunshine, I love the China Cat from 6/26/74 more. And my favorite Eyes. Phil's solo is as good as either of Jerry's solos in it that night, and as an encore, it was super tight. Then Phil suddenly at the mic with a hearty, "Good night folks, see ya on Friday!" And that Friday is just a monster. Well the Weather Report Suite - Jams - US Blues, is the real monster. Dark Star hints, Mind Left Body Jam morphs into a proto-Music Never Stopped Jam, and so many peaks and valleys until US Blues meanders out of the ashes. Too bad the most recent DaP vinyl was #2, #34 6/23/74 would have made a killer companion. When that one comes out on vinyl, I will be all over it. Oh, and the etched last side? Wow!

Now, fingers crossed I am able to go into a room and no wifi issues strike, and I am able to get this motha tomorrow at 1pm, EST. And good wishes to all those joining me in the online queue.

Gave up on a couple posts due to Hey Now, hope it's fixed soon, THANKS MaryE for letting us know. Looking forward to Jims report on JRAD, have tickets to their show August 1, Jerry's birthday in Burlington. Alzheimers, ALS, my heart goes out to those whose families affected, have lost friends and family to both. To say it sucks does not begin to express the devastating effects which many of us know too well.

134 is a little less than what I ended up paying up paying from a record store online. That's not bad. It's worse right when they're released, then things seem to calm down, until they've been sold out a few years, then they jump above 200. Or so it seems. I saw the Talking Heads RSD release has stabilized and I could probably get it now more reasonably than on RSD almost a month ago. So, I'll wait a little more on that one.

Did anybody pick up Nightfall of Diamonds?

Refreshed at 2 minutes to 1and able to add to the cart and check out in a minute. Funny enough, my notification emails came in 2 minutes later. Good luck to everyone else, and I look forward to RGM's usual quick turnaround. I love how they drop the announcement when they're ready to sell and ship. That helps because they will have done quality checks when they have product in hand. They delayed release on one of the DiPs a couple years ago due to a bad pressing, if I recall correctly. And I love they get Mr. Norman to mix and master from the original tapes, unlike the Brookvale releases, which were cut from the digital files. Can't wait to hear that China Cat in full vinyl glory.

Yup, I've ordered it too. Costs an arm and a leg with shipping costs, but it's one of my favourite Dicks Picks - so it's worth it. No one outside this forum I know would think so, but hey ho.

I may be $170 poorer, and the records might not sound much, if any, better than the CDs I already own, but by god I am going to thoroughly enjoy listening to that China Rider on vinyl. Along with the rest of it.

Last five!

Sly Stone: Stand
TTB: Best of the Beacon
Sonny Rollins: A Night at the Vanguard*
Ty Segall: Three Bells
Aaron Copland: Symphony #3

*All you vinyl sluts out there might like to know that Blue Note's "Tone Poet" reissue of Rollins' Vanguard material offers a substantial improvement in audio quality over previous issues. Well worth investing in, even if you already own this music. Hey, it's only money, right?

Round and round and round and round, don't take much to get me on the ground

I say yeah yeah yeah

And I thank you for a real good time.

Getting around to the 5-4 material and bonus. Love the jazz dead intro to Comes a Time. Clearly a highlight in this solid release.
As HF stated elsewhere, a nice box would include the Red Rocks/McNichols 1979 shows. Early Brent kills it!
Cheers

Was surprised and going to post that as well. I literally got shut out of DiP 1 minutes after the onsale, so I'm baffled. Looking at discogs page on Dick's vinyls, the only RGM one I'll be missing is 24 3/23/74 Cow Palace Wall of Sound test. I have none of the Brookvales, but only sad about missing 8 5/2/70 and 4 2/13-14/70. They've chosen some really good ones to put out.

11/10/67 mmmmm, ahhhhhhh in my best Homer Simpson drool.
