    Right place, right time

    So it’s 1980 and I’m at Gainesville for my 362nd show, but last minute parking lot buy leaves me in the nose bleed seats. I wander down for a beer and meets a guy at the concession stand.

    Guy says he has an extra ticket for the 3rd row and to follow him down.

    Down we go and sure enough, 3rd row center!!!

    I’m blown away (tripping balls at this point), but ask, “Don’t you need this seat?”

    Guy says, “No,,, that’s my wife’s seat and she died.”

    Great just what I don’t need to hear in my state, but ask “no friend or relative you could have asked?”

    He says, “no they’re all at the funeral”

    Odd juxtapositions

    One that does work for me is when they slotted Me and My Uncle in the middle of The Other One in 1971. 8/6/71 is a great example - there tucked away on cd4 on Dicks Picks 35.

    Maybe they were distracted by naked pole guy.

    Should have put the BMG in a different time slot.

    Fascinating to see them in action in 1978

    Just got done with 10/19/73

    It's another show I thought of as "meh" for a long time. Today it sounded like the bells of heaven ringing.

    ‘No Name’ - Jack White. Remarkably good on first listen. Hopefully it will survive the test of time.

    From when that was first released until today, I was unreceptive to it and negatively snooty about it.

    I am listening to my Dickus Pickus of it and am absolutely floored in joyful awe. Great stuff.

    Edit: now listening to disc 3
    Glorious
    Then...
    Throwing Stones bubbles up....ugh.

    Oh Bobby, why?!?

    4/17/84 eaton.miller aud, in between shows in the Winterland June 1977 box set.

    I really like that 5/20/73. That might be my favorite from that box. It sounds like SoCal would...I think

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!
