Grateful Dead

Why do I keep reading stuff where Branford Marsalis says the Dead are set to drop a 21-disc box set full of performances with guest artists, presumably including him? Is that for real?

I think Branford played with the Dead five times, and of course one of the best ones (3/9/90) is already released. So there's maybe 6 discs max of BM w/GOGD to work with, right? So who would be on the 15 or so discs, if this is for real?

Be nice to get ALL the Duane Allman stuff out. Santana would probably get a lot of people interested. There's some stuff with Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman. David Murray. So there's plenty to work with, even if it's hard to imagine how they would get to 21 discs.

Then again maybe it's all just a rumor.

Last five:

I've been quietly rooting for you from the sidelines. I'm glad to hear they're working to get a copy of Vol 49 to you.

Gonna suck your wallet dry.

Rhapsody in Red: Garcia Essentials (A Valentine’s Day Playlist)

60 years worth yaddy yaddy yadda, and at least a couple of decades…..
Yeah, but we’ll be dead by then? Andale, andale, vamanos amigos!

Confusion: ha, I knew you were going to say that lol.
I looked it up after I posted, just in case lol, (hey, we’re all getting older ; ) and I saw Fever at Landover and figured that’s what you ment, I should have posted it lol.

Finally figured out the confusion about Cap Centre. I knew something was wrong until I dug deeper into DeadBase. When I went to Cap Centre 1987 shows, I saw Fever, but I thought they did Fever all the time. Turns out that was only time they played Fever. So I mixed up seeing Stir It Up and Fever as both were one offs.

Whew - felt insane in the membrane.

And yeah, Super Bowl Sunday looked incredible OTA.

....checked out 9.15.85 last night. Devore Field, Chula Vista, CA.
Smokin'.
Especially the drumz into US Blues.

So bad what happened to your friend Kevin. There has to be some just, legal, and effective response -- Do what you can.

As for your DaP48 (that's the small problem), have you checked your Dave’s Picks order status at the Grateful Dead Store (store dot dead dot net)? (Scroll to bottom of page and click Order Status; helps to have your order number.) Or did you receive a shipping-notice email from Grateful Dead Store? If so, it would have? given you a tracking number (which, in the U.S., could be a UPS number or a USPS number, or maybe another carrier’s, but in the UK, I don't know, nor know whether you'd receive a tracking number). Have you been able to track the shipment? (I, myself, got shipping emails for Dave’s Picks 47 and 49, but don’t find one for Volume 48.)

With or without tracking info, at the Grateful Dead Store, scroll again to page bottom and click Help/Customer Service. At the upper right of that page, click “Submit a request” and go from there. If you get an email response from that which seems automated and says anything like “unable to provide a personalized response to your specific inquiry” and offers you a list of FAQs, and if none of the FAQs pertains, send a reply that that’s unacceptable, and ask that your request be escalated to a level that will actually respond to your problem.
