    One from the Vault was the first release in 91.

    Chop jobs

    I started listening to Dicks Picks 3 yesterday on vinyl - a selection of tracks from 5/22/77. It is an incredible album, in terms of sound quality, choice of material and playing. It occurred to me that I might enjoy this more as it is than if it had been expanded to include the whole show. There have been quite a few Dicks Picks released on vinyl that have made me think this way.
    Maybe, for me, having heard these songs so many times in so many different permutations, highlights of shows are becoming more enjoyable that the whole enchilada.
    Not a popular view, and not one I would have had a few years ago.

    There is a reason this show (albeit chopped) was the very first thing released from the vault: The Other One - Comes A Time and on through to the end of the show is all mindbogglingly and jawdroppingly great and intense.
    Having the whole show in the trunk, or hopefully yes on vinyl, gives those 2nd/3rd set pieces a better context (of course) - as the first set does have some different pacing/flow & formulation of the 'spokes on the wheel'. Then they come back out absolutely swinging with the Good Lovin'. An All-Time classic show ...
    Veilen Dank!

    In the car today while cruising down the highway.

    A good candidate for the next E72 vinyl release.
    Complete show, not the HYH chop job.

    Tis True Mary, and this one’s (12/28/84) a real fun one!
    Won’t spoiler set list, but some fun firsts!
    Perhaps a touch of occasional sloppiness, but it doesn’t matter, as you can just tell their having their big end of year fun!

    Onto 12/29/84 now. Starts out strong and so far so good…

    Got to hurry up and finish with the 2nd set as my DiP 1 vinyl is out for delivery today. The wealth of holiday bounty continues.
    Cheers
    And today's Jam-O-Week from 11-15-71 Austin, TX is calling me too. Doc recommended IIRC.

Just received my Dave's Picks Vol. 21!What a great show/recording!1973-That was the year of my very first Dead show in Buffalo,New York!For fellow New York State'ers,some may remember that was the year of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's new get tough anti drug laws going into effect...of which "Don't get caught holding the bag!''was the slogan on all the commercials!Anyway,me and a buddy hitchhiked from Niagara Falls to Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium to see the Dead when, walking through the parking lot we were searched and busted with weed!The cops took our weed and then let us go with a warning-that almost blew the evening for us but fortunately the Dead and the wall of sound made us forget about the cops by the second song!(at least I think it was a wall of sound show-I know I saw it!)It was billed as two two hour sets-which it was probably more!Vol 21 is pretty much the same set list as that October show as I remember it.(without checking).Great memories of a life changing time in my life-I was 16 years old then and I turn 60 in April!I probably have heard some Dead or JGB almost every day since then!
