Grateful Dead

....mind blown.
That was extremely impressive and satisfying.
And not a phone in sight. Kudos.
Could have been louder though lol.

is fantastic! 4/25/81 at the BCT, a show my brother and I were fortunate to be at.

A nod to the artwork Tool features on their album covers, really trippy stuff, much of it by Alex Grey, who would have found a welcome home among the greats of Haight, such as Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, et al.
Enjoy the show VGuy.

....they have a strict policy regarding phones. Which I can appreciate.
Looking forward to the light/stage show which I also appreciate.
And, for the first time, I'm bringing earplugs to a concert. Just in case.
Peeps say they are louder than most. And my left ear rings already as it is.
Looking forward to Jambi.
Incredible tune.

Daverock - not to be cynical, but I am! I just wonder whether Rhino sees enough sales potential for the primal box we so richly deserve. For you and me and others here, if I may presume, we don't care how they pkg it as long as they deliver the primal material. Sooner than later, in time for my present incarnation. Not literally, but while I'm still on fire for the band. These "later" years have me evolving, morphing, changing (choose your verb) in ways that I hadn't anticipated earlier in life.

That said, I get the feeling that Dave & Co. (or just Dave) wants to hold back tapes from all eras to give artificial longevity to the release program. Whereas I ("we"?) think that 66-68 isn't going to get more popular with time.

Dave & Co! Hear my plea!

Yeh - great show. That's when Jerry kciked Phil Lesh down some stairs because he thought the band had played so badly :)

Hi guys - I've been trying to get a replacement disc 3 for DP48 since November. Every time I try and escalate it or chase I just get told a new tickets been raised and then an email asking me how I rate customer services. The fault on Disc 3 is that it takes 10-20 seconds to start and then won't allow individual tracks to be selected - so if I want to skip a track it won't. Happens on more than 1 CD player.

Anyone got an idea of how I can get this moving forward ?

PS -- I laughed my head off at the speed of GDTRFB on vol 49 :) What were they on?

I'd like to see a Primal box come out this year. One that starts when Mickey joined in Fall 1967, and cuts off about May 1969, before the "Workingman's" songs and they started doing things like "Green Green Grass of Home". Just raw power.

I think a box with guests, would be post 1991.. Branford, Coleman and a few others, but NOT 2/70 with the brothers. I would also be a nice way to give us an Vince-years box - perhaps the only one we will see.. BW from rainy Copenhagen..

Perhaps this is my opportunity to bang my drum for fall '72. A ton of great shows remain unreleased. Dave in his inimitable non-comital manner once said that such a box "has to happen someday..." Why not this year?

Over on my tom-tom, I note the surfacing of several '68 tapes, the generally unreleased August '68 show bundled with that cartoon book (arrgghh!) and a few stray '66-'68 shows still stuck in the Vault (going on pure instinct here). BUT I'm thinking not enough discs for the Rhino threshold, thus this greasy pipedream will remain so until they do a limited edition of the early stuff.

Got Hay Naw'd too many times to finish. As you were.
