a little windy in my area

outer places around the rest of western Washington got blasted

some people still not with power

In my day they said "wind storm"

now it's a BOMB CYCLONE!!!

A rainstorm with a marketing team, I'm thinking.

It's raining here in NorCal. Pretty hard in fact. Like it pretty much always used to do in November, back when we had the old climate. Back before they invented bomb cyclones.

As usual, I agree with Daverock: please oh please oh powers that bes, please issue all the good stuff you possibly can while I'm still alive.

The big Floyd Box was also broken up into smaller Boxes.
I bought all the small ones for about half the price of the big one, and only missed out on the schwag and a bonus CD.
The movies in the big Box are available individually.

I want the music and generally don’t even look at the other junk that comes in the Box. That drum does me no good and is a waste of space. So Dave/Rhino, scale back the size of the packaging and sell the related schwag separately. If you wore the apron with the axe attached to your belt, and had the mushroom foraging tool in one hand and the drum in the other hand, you would make a great marketing image for the schwag store. But it wouldn’t help me listen to the music.

3-4 mini Boxes per year would be grate. I want new shows arriving every month.
Space isn’t that big of an issue because I keep buying vinyl. I just don’t need the schwag.

That’s a good price for 6-10-73 vinyl. There’s a lot of LP’s in that Box.

Hey, where is that thread? Can't find it.🤠.

I would really like to see DP 1 reissued in its complete form - along with the 18th. Add one more show from the prior week (recommendations? since it has been a long time since I went beyond the very gooey Cleveland show) and that would be perfect.
Another example I'd love to see - would need maximum Normanization though, as it's Spring '82 - would be the two killer Hartford shows, backstopped by 4/19 Baltimore Civic Center ... And of course, *anything* they can work up from the '68 to '70 range!

Ticket To New Year’s video has Jerry demonstrating the bacon wrapped water chestnut recipe.
I haven’t had those in years. They were a popular item in the 80’s.

DiP 3 vinyl finally out for delivery.
A week after others but just in time.
RGM is pretty fast all in all.
Have a good weekend.
Cheers

I like swag as much as the next guy, but agree if you can keep cost down and get more music,,,,well easy choice. Feel the same about video, I almost never watch it.

Now the axe on the other hand......

... I mean, Dennis. ; )

Glad your well PF, good up north too. In the old days, us Seattleites didn't call it a "Bomb Cyclone" we just called in November

Nobody bothers me anymore.

I love the axe, the single best piece of swag they ever sold. I wonder what delinquent dreamed that one up.

Ticket to New Years - Jerry (with a painful grimace on his face after either touching or popping one of the bacon wrapped water chestnuts in his mouth), "careful, it's hot"

As much as possible: Road Trips 6/16 & 6/18 (+ maybe the Omni show?) - all Plangented and Normanized up ... Essential!
Perhaps this next one is more than mini, and of course a bunch of it is out there in pieces, but the whole 2/11 - 2/14/70 should be assembled together (pretty please).
Seconding (third or fourthing?) the many calls for Merriweather Post Pavilion 6/30 & 7/1 85, which were my 3rd and 4th shows + tack Hershey on the front to fill it out.
I also saw two sets of excellent '91 shows (my last 5-6 attended) at Cal Expo - one run with and IIRC one without Bruce. We need more of this era - please.
So, total ditto re: Europe 90 that is being discussed on the other thread. Pick the 3-4 best shows remaining (other than Paris that DL selected for 30 Trips), and I would have to jump on it.
Cheers, All

That is all.

....for when they release a GD katana. I passed on the axe, but my sword collection is lacking.

as my username ... but clearly that would have been repetitive. Replace that Stealie can with a wine glass and we're right in line - avatar-wise.
Thanks & Cheers!

Strat Wolf, if I'm ever you way I hope I will get a little tasting. Caught all the Merriweather shows, would love a little mini box of some of those.

Now that I think of it, it's a good way to cut loose some of the 80's cassette masters without upsetting the apple cart for those who get a little stir crazy when too many 80's shows flood the Dave's Picks and Box Sets.

Two and three show little mini-boxes outside the subscription, fewer frills and let them go at a little under the 25k target run size. Then keep everything else as it is. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Winter land 3/18/,19,20/77 or. 4/5&6/69 10/31/69. or 6/27&28/69 10/31/69 the possibilities are endless.

....but guest sit-ins will probably shoot that prospect down.
Plus.....the love for post Brent Dead has been pretty much ignored.
Giants box gave me a fix though.

The Alice from Alice's Restaurant. My wine glass will be half full this Thanksgiving in her honor.

And one day they will have to get around to the post Brent era. I realize it's not everyone's favorite, but there are some good shows to be had. Plus it represents 1/6th of their touring years, it doesn't seem right to pretend it didn't happen. Some of the Vegas shows are standouts during this period.

....with a camera that links up to your device of choice live on an app when there is motion.
Christmas idea for my wife triggered.
Shhhh. Don't tell her. She loves birds.

I think for me the first May '77 box, the July '78 box and the June '76 boxes were all the perfect mix of cool and practical. I don't need the schwag so much. And Vguy if it is a sword that you want, let me give a shout out for a local Missoula, Montana business, Zombie Tools, Accessories for the Apocalypse. No Katana per se, but there is an Apokatana. Pretty much started as a bunch of guys phucking around and now they sell lots of custom sword variations, made in Missoula. I have not personally acquired one, but I think one of my nephews did. Maybe the site can pair up for a custom dead flavored variation to go along with the axe.
