    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.

    this probably means nothing, but ...

    a friend who is a pro snapper just sent TPTB a classic shot he took of Jer during the final five night run in October 1974.

    Not sure what to make of that. I kinda think maybe it's for a Dave's Picks -- perhaps a whole show from that run for release this year? If it were for a box set, I'd think they'd have asked for more pics. That said, there had to be many snappers at those shows, so probably they have plenty to select from.

    Passing this along knowing it only generates questions rather than answers. ForensicDoc, who also provided pics for a DP, has to love that cryptic statement...

    Go see it. Mrs, Big and I just got home from the six hour drive, and it was totally worth it. 18,000 heads from all over the planet were there for one thing, to attend the new church of the Grateful Dead. Man oh man, we got the feeling! Here's the setlist:
    First Set: Shakedown, Jack Straw, New Speedway Boogie, Row Jimmy, Tennessee Jed ,PITB, Don't Ease Me In.
    Second Set: UJB, China>Rider, Dark Star> Drums>Space>Stella Blue, Terrapin, Hell in a Bucket, Black Muddy River, Casey Jones.
    Big city prices on everything, but to Vegas, the Sphere, and especially the Band, I say
    "Thank you, for a real good time!!!" Woooooo

    I'll be at TTB with Little Feat on Wednesday. It's a little closer to home, about a five minute drive.

    TTB: saw that last night on the couch in the cocoon/bunker, on 130” screen with Auro 3D immersive audio on McIntosh system…
    Good Sheet Mon!
    Had only seen clips on devices etc, never a whole show!
    I only wish I knew the songs, and only gripe: vocals perhaps a tad too low in the mix, and I couldn’t understand much of the lyrics unfortunately…BUT,
    the playing was fantastic all around, and
    They did take me too the special place where goosebumps live etc, even a tear or too of Joy and beauty! Which was nice…needed a “live” music fix.
    Not sure I’d become a huge fan, but will definitely enjoy a show now and again from the cocoon.
    ONWARD indeed!

    Edit: got HNd via my torture test above, but only had to remove Dubba u dubba u dubba u, which I guess is proper…

The greatest baseball player of all time. I was fortunate enough to have seen him play back in the 1960s. at Candle stick Park, even saw him hit a hone run.

Yesterday the Govenor of Maryland pardoned 175,000 people for cannabis related convictions. A bfd for all those affected. How about that

BTK, another day, another show you went to that I wish I did. Somebody's got to be there, right?

Bolo tell us about the box before they announce it soon. Thanks Jim for that note. Arrested for cannabis in Maryland about fifty years ago, happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Far as I can tell, no major effect on my life other than my parents were very pissed off for a while, criminal record and all that. No doubt, if I had been a person of color, very different, Juneteenth. The amount was small, the case was filed, expunged a year later. Picked up in DC around the same time for reefer, when the officer discovered I was friends with his sister in high school, we were let go. Saw Willy Mays play just once at the 1962 All Star Game at then brand new DC Stadium (where I would later see concerts and war protesters would be detained en masse). President Kennedy threw out the first pitch. I was nine years old and managed to snag autographs from Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax, very impressed with pitchers.

Gotta love the loud talkers NEAR mics recording the shows!

I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time with my dad's dad, who passed when I was about 10. But he did take me to a Giants game in (I think) 1966. Willie Mays hit a home run and even at that time I knew I was witnessing something I would always want to remember. And I do.

Willie was the greatest.

Anybody remembers Allison? she made these obnoxious horse like yells and twirl her long, sweat filled hair in every direction; got hit a few times, unfortunately.

Yes, I trademark of all live Dead shows. My favorite is when Bob told the crowd, stop yelling out songs we already played tonight.

Cousins - there's a description of someone called Allison behaving exactly as you describe in the second Taping Compendium. I've just had a look, and it's on page 236 in an essay called "A Deadheads Journey To Egypt." Why I have remembered this, when I can't remember important stuff, I have no idea!

I don't have the Compendiums anymore, but no doubt that has to be the same Allison; she "made it" on a few audience tapes.

A very rare recording from 1973 of Gram Parsons & Emmylou Harris from a small club in Philly being released to CD & vinyl mid-July. Called “ The Last Roundup - Live From The Bijou Cafe In Philadelphia 3/16/73”, Gram recordings are as rare as they come, for those interested.

Went to last Thurs/Fri D&C shows at Sphere. Among the finest D&C shows I've seen, the band seems to really be grooving on their residency there. The venue itself is amazing, this is the future folks, both the sound and visuals are simply stunning. If you haven't already made your mind up one way or the other, do yourself a favor and Go! If you're disappointed, you can blame me. But you won't.

First night we had floor/GA. Won the early entry lottery, camped out center stage about 3 to 4 rows back. Had all the substances (and then some), cold drinks, and an amazing time. John Mayer is rocking his ultra-Silver Sky PRS and weaving silky lines all night- and, thankfully he's removed those ridiculous headphones and gone back to in-ear monitors. Bob is in fine voice. Call me a heretic, but other than for nostalgic reasons I can't hear any difference between Billy and Jay Lane and I think the younger blood is actually a boost. Mickey remains a sage.

Second night we sat in 300 section. On the floor that close, the band is obviously the star and the Sphere the backing band. Up higher, you can't help but take in the totality of the production... and the sound is better. Down close you're hearing backline which is great but doesn't do the capabilities of the venue justice - the upper deck seat sound has got to be heard to be believed.

This was among the greatest concert experiences of my 55 year old, hundreds of shows-long life and I can't stop thinking about it. Until tomorrow that is, taking in The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band at Mile High.

Last five:

Rolling Stones - 82 albums, 874 songs been on shuffle all day. Getting primed!
Van Halen - Diver Down
ZZ Top - One Foot in the Blues (excellent compilation)
AC/DC - Powerage
Little Feat - Dixie Chicken

What a great place to see a band, another great place was JC Dobbs & I just have to mention Ripley's Music Hall. At one point in time Philly did have the places to be.

....the OG Hawkeye Pierce.
I read Donald, and I got a little excited (sorry).

Donald Sutherland was one of my favorite actors. As Vguy notes, he is Hawkeye Pierce to me, not Alan Alda. His cynical, sarcasm, and especially that whistle that George Clooney ripped off perfectly for The Fantastic Mr Fox, also a rapscallion of a character. He was almost always delightful in whatever he was in. One of my favorite small roles of his was as the drunkard mentor of Matthew McConaughey in A Time to Kill. Cold Mountain was a really good little part for him as Nicole Kidman's father. I loved that he wasn't above the absolute silliness of Beerfest, either.

Wow.

A bunch of years ago I saw him in a restaurant in Seattle called Rays. "Wow. That's Donald Sutherland."

At the moment I am sitting at a viewpoint by Puget Sound. I read the news of Sutherland's passing. The place I saw him is one block away. I can see it from here.

The first film that popped into my head on hearing of Donald Sutherland's passing was "Don't Look Now" with Julie Christie.

And Say Hey! Think I missed him. Getting hard to keep up : (
Favorite DS scene: Animal House (GOAT LOL), when he gets the nerds high for the first time.
