    Yes, it’s a crap shoot if you will get a good pressing.
    DP2 10-31-71% was great.
    10-9,10-76 had a few sides with issues.
    5-8-77 had a huge smudge across the side with Scarlet->Fire, and extensive pops and static on Morning Dew.
    The comments for 1-22-78 was that it was a terrible pressing, so I avoided it, even when it went on sale.
    All sides of Lyceum 72 were good for me.

    I got a Spin-Clean washer and it has helped clean up some dirty LP’s, but it can’t fix a bad pressing.

    5/21/74 % vinyl

    I felt inspired to play this after reading Cnkds post. It seems that vinyl is variable in terms of pops and crackles. Mine played very smoothly, without any audible interference at all. I haven't always been so lucky. 2/27/69 has a bit of surface noise on at the end of Mountains of the Moon. And in the Europe Box set of the Lyceum shows, 2 sides were a bit scuffed - something which Deadnet kindly remedied by sending me replacements. That's a great album, though, that Playing from 5/21/74.

    But records are my favourite medium for listening to the Dead now. Mention of 7/31/74 - that's a big temptation to get that on vinyl. Whenever I am tempted, sooner or later...

    Sounds good but a lot of pops.
    Not such a great pressing.

    That makes sense. Well, it doesn't - but I understand what your saying. I'd never of thought of that.

    PSA: hey now and a famous ballroom

    Note to all: after much testing, I've found that the name of a famous venue at Post and Steiner streets is a 'hey now' offense. @DaveRock this may be a reason why it's been impossible to post about 1974

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!
