    Thanks Obeah

    The wife really appreciated that! He's 10 days walkabout now but has been seen a couple of blocks away eating at a neighbor's house who puts food out for a stray. Was feral in his younger life and has gone back to that mindset I'm afraid. Got a trap from the shelter so we'll see how that goes. His tuxedo even has a tie (not bow but straight tie) and his chin looks like a BMW symbol with the foursquare black and white. Thanks again.
    Cheers

    Finally getting around to hearing the Santa Fe show. Been busy scouring the neighborhood for our indoor cat who has apparently gone walkabout. That's Checkers on my icon today. Keep a good thought for us.

    PF - Best wishes for you. I've only ever had one MRI but it was louder than Thor's hammer and they had crappy headphones that really didn't isolate the noise. Totally ruined whatever Bob Dylan I had picked to listen to. To make it worse it was in a trailer outdoors and I had to walk outside in that backless robe to get to it in the middle of winter. Things were high and tight! I've done dozens of CT scans though including two in the last four months and it's all good and hoping the same for you.
    Cheers

    I hope the MRI results come back as you could wish, Proudfoot.

    I *wondered* what happened to the Dave's 52 thread. If not for Oro's comment I might have gone on thinking that I needed more coffee. Thanks Oro. Seconding Icecreamcnkd's comment - at this point we could just move to the DaP53 thread if that could be unlocked/if that's less work. All the same to me.

    As to what I am listening to - well, it's about to be Zakir Hussain. It *was* going to be Grateful Dead from Los Angeles in December 1994. Mainly because it's been 30 years to the date. Well... that is, I saw the middle shows of the four nights - the 16th and the 18th - the 17th (today) was the off night. After the lackluster Shoreline run back in September I didn't know what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. But for my friends and I those shows were also "one long party from front to end" and I don't trust my memory, so I thought I should give it a listen. I've not done so in all the intervening years. Hadn't decided on which night. But there's a part of me that knows I'm likely to be disappointed... to have a nagging feeling that I could be listening to December '73 instead of '94... heck, or December '78... even Long Beach December '88.

    So Zakir it shall be. Interestingly, on the morning of his death, I put on a morning raga that had been unknown to me, and the piece went on for a great long while (15-20 mins?) before there was anything from the tabla. It made me listen more deeply and it made me think about percussion, and what the absence of it meant...

    Cheers, Ian: I saw them listed among the all time top 'prog +/-' albums when I went down Kate's Gnirdolog (sp?) rabbit hole a couple of weeks back. Based on your and Dennis's reviews, this is now on my radar for a "self-care" Christmas gift.

    Loading 10/10/76 for off hours later today ... I'm hoping DaP 53, when it arrives in 3-4 weeks, will have some of the same 'x-factor'. How about today for the 54 + bonus disc announcement?? As this has stretched out, I'm beginning to channel Waiting for GOGD (Godot) here!

    Proudfoot: Sending kind thoughts for good results.

    Had an MRI this morning

    Got to choose headphone music

    GD was the option I went with

    Sirius radio

    Good Lovin' from 78 I think

    Estimated Eyes from 9 2 83

    Very surreal experience

    31 I’ve heard, but will gladly rehash, 30 sounds real good so far…

    And Four Winds…UZH!
    Thanks for the grooves and magic!

    Never heard of them and didn't have any.

    Thanks to the magic of you tube, I was able to download 3 of their albums, including Grey & Pink.

    I like what I've heard so far, thanks for the heads up.

    Pointers to new stuff is one of the great things about the forum. (everyone knows Deadheads have great taste in music!)

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!
