    Joni 4

    what a run around from amazon jeff's india help this morning.

    Order the Joni, both, from Amazon because of free shipping.

    Some odd things come up about being called for the delivery and special instructions of getting ready for it's delivery, like padding on the floor, clearing the passage ways.

    I dig a little deeper and they have both of these items (records and cd's) weighing 1100 lbs each!

    So I used chat to inform them of the error on page and to verify stuff would be coming regular mail and no one was going to show up with an 18 wheeler, handing me a box of cd's.

    Over an hour and 10-12 transfers to "people who handle that", not one seem to understand the simple fact that the records and cds did NOT weigh a TON! And all I wanted was assurances the stuff was coming as it should.

    No warm fuzzy feeling, may have to cancel and reorder from Joni. (then I get the "free" print,,,,,while supplies last)

    Also worth checking out is the 1966 Live Recordings by Bob Dylan. 36 cds for your coin. It might be worth checking the set lists before buying first though - they don't vary much.

    Alternatively, you could go for the Bootleg Series Volume 4, titled "The Royal Albert Hall" concert named after a real bootleg, but actually featuring the show in Manchester 5/17/66 - the famous "Judas!" show. But if you get the box, you do get the great real Albert Hall shows from later in the month -including much slurry talk from Bob onstage. Great shows.

    CD postcards of the hanging

    As part of my side trip into Bob Dylan's big three plus a compilation, I am listening to Postcards again the first time in a while.

    Such great songs.

    Tragically, the title (and some of the lyrics) refers to an episode of evil in our nation's history. Ugh.

    Bob Dylan: a titan in the world of music and culture.

    Luckily I got to attend three of his performances

    1986 (not with GD)
    1987 with GD
    2000 at the Gorge when he opened for Phil Lesh and Friends

    That show in 2000 was really good

    it has been...

    ...an enormously (is that a word?) long-time since I've pulled this one out to actively listen,
    and what is this the X-factor you speak about Dave...?

    WOW!!!

    hey now, maybe just maybe, when you release a BOXSET,
    maybe you could consider releasing TWO separate shows instead
    of ALWAYS just ONE show.
    After all, it is an 8 show box release...

    I'll be passing on the BOXSET, but will pick-up this X-factor...
    ...and keep up the good work!

    Peace for All!

I am listening to Dick's Picks Vol. 29 which contains 5/19/77. As a big fan of the Spring '77 Tour, the fact that Get Shown The Light was released, and that this year honors 40 years of '77 Dead despite what seasonal tour it is, I have been listening to the show of the given day back in 1977 if I can. So today, it's 5/19/17 so therefore I am choosing to enjoy 5/19/77 again, its a great show, however I like 5/21/77 more (also contained in Dick's Picks Vol. 29), but love 5/22/77 (Dick's Picks Vol. 3) in regards to the next upcoming dates. 5/25/77 is okay, despite the highly priced collector's value of it (Dave's Picks Vol. 1) it is not as magical compared to the other 3 dates I just mentioned. To each their own! I have listened to these shows, and so many more, countless times and still love them all. Have fun and enjoy. Happy 40 years worth of 1977 Dead and here's to another 40 more!
