Excellent summary Doc, many thanks for that.

I was intrigued that you'd tried to run down the status of Felt Forum 12/5/1971 with DL. This has been a question I've had for many years, too. I got this tape (the FM) sometime back around '88-'89 and I was really taken by it. Still one of my favorite shows after all these years. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to say that this very show is the reason why I subscribed to Dave's Picks in the first place: when I saw that Vol 22 was to be the last night of the run at the Felt Forum, I was all in. (And yet somehow that show just doesn't grab me like the night of the 5th)

Since it's the first of the month, I subscribed before I could talk myself out of it. It went right through with no problem, although the promo code I was given didn't work. But the shipping was free, so there is that.

Doc, thanks for all your feedback on these questions. 38 years listening to the GD and I am still learning a lot! Thanks!

Don't Ease Me In
6/5/80

Late subscriber to Dave's Picks, but it's been a fun ride so far so I'll get my ticket for the next go-round. Hoping there are still some tasty 60's shows on the horizon, but enjoying these dips into the Brent era. Also, I must be among the minority, but I love the bonus tracks even if they appear mid-show or mid-set (as in vol 51). Getting an extra show across a few different releases is pretty fun (and generous), and easy enough to make playlists. Maybe I'll even re-learn how to program my multi-disc cd player. . . Keep 'em coming, Dave!!!

...starts tomorrow! Happy Halloween!

I went through a period where I frequently frequented the torrent sites, and yep, there's an astounding amount of good music to be had. A lot more, it turns out, than I had storage space for or time to hear! Eventually I stopped downloading because I realized I had hundreds of hours of stuff I'd never listened to.

But maybe I need to get back into it, given this 1971 Situation we have on our hands.

Just listened to 7/31/71 (aka Road Trips Vol 1 No 3) yesterday. Definitely left me wanting more! And wondering why there hasn't been a box from that year.

Maybe the fact that so many of the shows were broadcast live and therefore also bootlegged mercilessly is what gives pause to our man Dave? Maybe it's just more fun for him to put out something "new" rather than a much-bootlegged show? If so, I wish he'd reconsider.

Get a hard drive.
If you have an old computer that is not being used put it to work on the torrent swarms.
You’ll be glad you did.
