    Pick?

    GOGD has some momentum with SPAC 85.

    Don't hang off the balcony... (which we later found out was VGuy and Keithfan) :D

    We don't want you falling on somebody else, you do what yourself what you want man..

    Another classic from summer '85?

    Great Pick Yesterday Bob T!
    Pick was sublime, February '73 is some of my favorite Dead, just love it.
    Love the "pop" / sonic squawk in Dark Star and you're right it wouldn't be the same without it, but I'm pretty sure that puppy is baked in and went out to all that day over the PA.

    2/9/73 & 2/15/73 really should get the release treatment, but then we have these great recordings of them already, and there's soooo much stuff that we might not have.

    Fun to think about.
    Any calls on when we'll get that Next Pick announcement?
    Is the excitement building?

    So many questions.

    Fun to think about.

    6/27/85 is getting a spin over here as we speak.

    And remember.. Don't Hang Off The Balcony!

    We need a Pick

    We need a Pick. Otis? Jimbo?

    Send us a pick.

    Watched a portion of the 10/2/87 show last night. Man, they were on fire for those Shoreline shows in October of 87. I will wait the rest tonight.

    Who made it to those shows?

    Good to see you Deadheadbrewer! I have heard that as well that the show exists in Multi Track! Look forward to that.

    6/25/85. Fun start with Day Tripper. 85, definitely not Jerry's high water mark. Must have been hard for the band, when your engine is failing. You can hear the continued deterioration. I saw it live in 86 just two weeks before the coma. Thank God for his recovery.

    Be well folks and everybody hang loose.
    Looking forward to 10/2/87 tonight.

    I can't keep up with you die-hard Heads and listen to a show a day, but I do pop in here to read your wizard thoughts and observations. Fear not for July 18th, 1976! I distinctly remember Dave mentioning that that show exists in The Vault [angelic chorus suddenly bursts forth with, "AHHHHHHH!!!!"] in multi-track, and that he would get that show out one day. This comment was made when he was discussing the release of Dap18, which is 7/16-17/76.

    Color Outside The Lines

    Bob T it's good to see that you're still coloring outside the lines..
    You non-conformist you!
    Well done.

    I'm hip to what you're laying down and it's in my pile of stuff to listen to, so 2/15/73 you say?

    Did notice some static in Loose Lucy that's not on the Menke version, so I'm curious what's going on with this new Source / Upgrade. Sounds like you're on your way, keep your reporters hat on, deadline is at 4:30pm PST so we can get it to press before Shakedown Stream.

    Deadvikes - Good call on Go To Nassau, those are some hot shows! Isn't that the Althea that Al Franken was saying is his favorite? It's a damn good one. Nice compilation by Dave L, would love for the full shows to be released. I wonder how many times those two statement occur together?!?!? hahaha. I'm curious about the source of the tapes they used on that, I believe what I have for the full show is a Betty Board, I wonder what source they used from the Vault. So many questions but sounds like different mixes.

    DL let's catch up soon so I can ask you about all this stuff, miss you bro, and what's the next Dave's Pick?!?!
    I'm calling Pigpen Era or Brent Era, we've had our two Donna & Keith Era for the year.
    Hoping for Pigpen Era.

    Don't give up Hope ;)

    Coffee is working, might have to get stuff done. I had a lot to discuss this week in regards to what I've heard, but was too lazy or depressed to type it out, this global pandemic and America's flailing about without proper leadership is bumming me out.

    So I took some music as medicine and Blossom '85 yesterday was really a good trip, Jerry's voice is shot, but the band is really catching fire as the tour progresses. I've always loved that show it's like an old friend. Also read some cool stuff about this band and it's community that was real interesting.

    Another day I find myself alive..

    Have a Grate Day!

I completely agree.

On occasion and if I'm not careful volume gets the best of me. One day I might live to regret this. Thankfully, that day was not today.

A new one for me. Some sound weirdness especially in and around banter, but what the hey.

I don't know what it is, but I have soft spot for The Eleven, Born Cross-Eyed and especially New Potatoe Caboose. Good show with some vintage grease to end the night with me feeling a little dirtier than I did when I woke up.

If there's no pick for tomorrow, I suggest the next in line. It's a partial, starts with a rare Clementine. 1/20/68 Euraka Municipal Auditorium. I think we should set up a go fund me to find all the missing reels, there's a couple missing from this show. It would be something for them to be found.

Hey Jim, I know you have had a lot on you plate this year. Thanks for checking this one out. Yes, the recording is decent, not great. Like a lot of 88 recordings out there. Still think they have some good ones in the Vault.

I liked the show, anytime I see a Hey Pocky Way, I am in. Nice Shakedown to open the second set. Love the triple Encore with China Rider OMSN.

It is good to get out of the comfort zone once in a while Doc.

Carousel Ballroom 68, okay Jim, Ok will have to que it up this morning.

Enjoy the weekend out there.

Edit. Oh and after the carousel ballroom I will be moving on the 12/9/79, Dave's Picks #47. Love this one and I need some 79. If I had the keys, I would be putting out a big 79 Box.

44 years ago today, there when Roy Buchanan along with Levon and His All Stars opened for the Dead. My last in person show, on the bus since their first album, however things had changed so much.... Doc was there, a wild late summer scene, part of my farewell to Maine.

Hey rockers!!

Yes, we were there and had a blast. Beautiful day and tremendous music. A very fine show by the Dead, one of my all-timefavorite in-person Dead experiences.

Would make a solide offical release. It is worthy......

I'm in - hopefully sometime this weekend I can transport my mind and spirit into late summer beautiful day/evening Maine. Sounds like a dream show and setting. Very cool that a couple of you guys got to be there. Didn't realize this was the last show before the Warfield run. Long and heartfelt write up on grateful seconds (he was there). Comment at the end from a guy who was 8 at the time and lived a "bike trail" away from the fairgrounds. Listened to part of the show from his clubhouse. Rode his bike over and snuck in. Totally dug the Drums. Made major bank (for a kid) collecting cans and bottles for deposit afterwards (which is exactly what 8 yr old me would have done.) Think I might travel John Deere with the Jim Wise FOB.

But back this week. I can do Lewiston again.

As I recall there is not a good soundboard that circulates, right? And the one that does is first set only and it sure does sound like an audience (or ultramatrix on steroids at least).

High energy though.. like Gainesville, there must have been something in the water.

You have to wonder if this was recorded and if so where the hell are the master tapes? I think someone (Parrish??) tossed out the language that some of the master reels were left on the seat and when the truck pulled away they must have flown out the window or something.

I'd love to see more reels (and cassettes) returned.

Anyway, Lewiston Me for me tomorrow.

Edit: Started tonight - why not? Gave up on the "soundboard" and settled on the Jim Wise same as Bluecrow. Good news, Bluecrow.. The John Deere Broke down and was sitting in the yard for the last half of the week. I got it working today. Had to replace the solenoid. Damned electronics are always interfering with time travel. Just imagine if this broke back in time before Jebediah Solenoid created the first working model for riding mowers.. we would have been screwed.. I mean, nothing wrong with being stuck in 1980 but why not go back another 10 to 15 years...

High energy is right. Pretty good audience.

While I was in the neighborhood, I took a quickie with 11/28/80 Lakeland Civic Center - Lakeland, FL (30 Trips).

I figured why not.. most enjoyable, especially To Lay Me Down. Not sure why I like that song so much, but I do.

Ah, yes, more 1980. You don't have to twist my arm. A shorter show for the time period, but still really good. Will get it going after I finish up Dicks #36, which was mentioned on some other threads. Such a great show, but apparently didn't sell well at the time. No idea why.

Random Musing - 1980

My favorite non-multi-track 1980 release has got to be Dave's # 8, 11/30/80 Fox Theater. Love how that Matrix worked out. If anyone remembers the seaside chat, he was spot on.

Crowd noise was not as big an issue in 1980 as they could play in some pretty intimate venues. Also, as the age of the cassette master replaced the lovely Ms. Cantor Jackson, a lot of those early soundboards are a bit sterile sounding without the crystalline highs and the booming lows. Blending those early 80's soundboards with one of those near perfect audience masters works. When they aged out of the smaller, cooler venues (thinking after Jerry's coma and In The Dark) audience tapes had to compete with hundreds of the guy next to you screaming "JERRY!!" at 95 decibels, this was no longer possible.

That SBD/Dr. Bob matrix is almost exactly perfect (or as good we are going to get for the time).

On the opposite side of the same coin, I think some of the Ultra Matrix's have a bit too much of the guy yelling JERRY! then I sometimes want to hear. Thinking a lot of 87 suffers from this, and by then the audience tapes were no better.

Anyway, if Mr. Norman can pull of similar wizardry I wish they would do more like DaP#8.
