Grateful Dead

Thanks Doc, what an education. We appreciate all your time and effort.

So many good shows in 71 and one to go after today!

How in the hell did I miss that DaP 41 was Baltimore '77? I've always loved that show!! Did it go out in email, I can't find anything on dead.net?

I said the same thing Burnsy. I had to go back to the Seaside chat for the subscription to find it.
#41 from '77 and #42 from '74! "We're in heaven, man!" JG
Cheers!

Edit: I think back then I was so chuffed to get the night before, Richmond VA, on DaP#1 vinyl that I forgot all about Baltimore being DaP#41.

Dave's 41: Spring 77
Dave's 42: Feb 74

chick a boom chick a boom
dontcha just love it

I LOVE it

Just got my two day pass for Tedeschi Trucks Band & Los Lobos at Red Rocks...i went to the band website and clicked info next to to ticket button on the Red Rocks date and it displayed the code...I got a two day GA pass for a total of $142....Wheee....

OK, they got me. I thought I was gonna pass on the subscription this year, and just go a la carte. The Baltimore 77 show is great, but I've got so so much 77 it didn't seem like something I HAD to HAVE. But if DaP 42 is gonna be Winterland 74, and if that's gonna be the one with the bonus disc, I don't see how I can be expected to resist. Which means I will taxed about $30 for my stupidity in not just getting the early bird subscription. Ah well. Tried to save a buck, wound up paying the Stupid Tax. Story of my life, really.

Doc is an Angel-headed hipster burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night.

Cool to know some others here will be at TTB Red Rocks. See you there! I'll be the geeky old white dude in row 50.

of course the other two will be Boreal Ridge and 2/16/88.

I subscribe for the peace of mind, if nothing else.

77 and 74...as the kids say: "LET'S GO!"

It concerns me that yet again the first two DAVE PICKS of the year(2022) will be shows from: 1977 & 1974 in that order. It has become all too much of a familiar pattern, having these two years as the first two releases each year, that's not what the Dead were about....following repetitive patterns. It's song limiting over their career body of material, and honestly most 1974 shows were repetitive, sounding the same, and limited setlist material(I get it that their were some good shows with 4-5 DS played during the year). Between 1973, 1974, and 1977 this makes up 40% of the 42 Dave Picks - that's not fair IMHO!! The Dead were about exploring, how about exploring the years 1980-1993 or so for the next, say, 10 releases....geeeezzz! I think the Spring of 1977 has run its course, kinda time to move on IMHO!!!!

....I will be online Friday at 10 am

the only thing there is to say

"MORE GRATEFUL DEAD!"

oh, 4fuxsayk, I don't know.

green up and listen to the music play

It was Garcia's first show back after his medical emergency, and what a show it was. The Dead kicked off the show with Touch of Grey and when Garcia sang "I will survive" the audience just really cut loose. But the best was durring Candyman, when Garcia sang " Hand me my old guitar" it felt like the roof would blow off that place, the audience was so loud, listen to it on the audience tape, the audience roar really comes through. Garcia looked so happy to be playing again, and was having the time of his life. I know some other folks from the forum were there, it was a very special night.

gotta give that one a go

I listened to 12/31/86 over the summer, and really dug that one

It was announced on the seaside chat.

For the past 2 years the last 2 DaP releases of the year have been Brent shows, with 40 and 36 being 4-CD releases.

We haven’t seen a 77 followed by a 74 since 33 and 34.

Here’s a summary from dead disc dot com:

Dave's Picks Volume 33: Dekalb, IL, 10/29/77
Three CD release of the complete Grateful Dead show at Evans Field House, N. Illinois University, Dekalb on October 29, 1977

Dave's Picks Volume 34: Jai-Alai Fronton, Miami, June 23, 1974
Three CD release of the complete Grateful Dead show at Jai-Alai Fronton, Miami on June 23, 1974.

Dave's Picks Volume 35: Philadelphia Civic Center, Philadelphia, PA, April 20, 1984.
Three CD release of the complete Grateful Dead show in Philadelphia on April 20, 1984 plus 3 tracks from the April 19, 1984 show.

Dave's Picks Volume 36: Hartford Civic Center, Hartford, CT on March 26 & 27, 1987.
Four CD release of two complete Grateful Dead show in Hartford, CT on March 26 & 27, 1987.

Three CD release of the Philadelphia show on April 26, 1983. Plus bonus tracks from April 26, 1983 (Philadelphia) and April 15, 1983 (Rochester).

Dave's Picks Volume 40: Deer Creek Music Center, Noblesville, IN, 7/18/90 and 7/19/90
Four CD release of two Deer Creek shows from July 1990. (The encore from the second show was omitted and included as a bonus track on Dave's Picks Volume 41).

It was the announcement that #42 would be a '73 Winterland show that got me back on the subscription bus. If, instead, they had announced they were going to spend the next 2-3 years exploring the '80s-'90s, I would've tuned out for a while.

Different strokes for different folks, and so on and so on and scooby dooby doobie.

DaP 2020
7 CD’s Brent
7 CD’s not Brent

DaP 2021
7 CD’s Brent
7 CD’s not Brent

I like Brent.
In fact I’m listening to 9-30-89 right now.

I also like 60’s, 70’s, 90’s.
In fact, 65-95 are my go to years.
Just listened to 10-12-68 set 2 before I started 9-30-89.
I listened to 10-12-68 this weekend for the first time, and just did set 2 tonight when I saw that Jim set that as the date on his wayback machine.

Will 2/23/74 Winterland, with bonus from 2/22/74 do it? Because, luckily, that is what we get for 42!

Doc-Thank you for that wonderful gift of reminding me to listen to 12/14/71. I think your enthusiasm definitely helps, but I truly enjoyed the experience!!
CrowToldMe-You’re not the only one paying the stupid tax. After 10 years of early bird subscriptions, I thought this would be the year I went a la carte. But damn if Winterland ‘74 didn’t suck me right back in. But hey, I think it was really only a $16.00 tax, and if that bonus disc costs me $16.00, that’s a steal!!
DAVEROCK-I just got my Comus cd today. Brilliant!! I know you weren’t trying to sell it, but when you talked about being frightened when listening to it, I knew it was for me!!

P.S……to everyone. Enjoy, be safe, and treat others just as you wish to be treated.
Music is the Best!!

From my favorite band?

Cool.

Glad you like the Comus cd - no, I wasn't trying to sell it - just recommend a cool album. You've heard of easy listening - that's uneasy listening ! This "Dust on The Nettles" compilation is like pretty good collection of acid folk-whatever it's called. Another good, little known one is ,"Dreaming With Alice" by Mark Fry - "The witch is looking through my window/Her cold breath on the window pane" Yikes.

It all seems to tie in with what's been called the "folk horror" movement in films and books. The two signature films are "The Wicker Man" and "Blood on Satan's Claw" - and there is a corker of a box set coming out soon - "All The Haunts Be Ours" - although I don't think it plays on British blu ray set ups.

In addition to my favorite era from 1963 through 1995, I really love 1968.

What they lack in song variety, they more than make up for with crackling energy and creative improvisations. I don't always trip, wear warpaint and pole dance naked while listening to live Dead.. but when I do, it's 1968 Live Dead.

Now that we are getting 2/23/74 (and highlights of 2/22 with the bonus disc), we can take a short breath.. but we cannot relax, we cannot give up the fight. If we don't get a late 60's for DaP 43 or DaP 44, I say we storm the vault and abscond with all the master reels we can carry. Norman and Glasser are in, who else is with us? I have this awesome powerpoint on how we can pull this off and get away with it. With detailed, step by step instructions.. it's foolproof.

#FreeTheReels.

Who's with me?

Check your PM's....

slightly off topic but in your mention of "The Wicker Man" I thought of an Italian film from 1960... "Black Sunday" directed by Mario Bravo and starring Barbara Steele...I was ten years old when I saw it ...scared the crap out of me...the theatre I saw it at had their restrooms upstairs and I went up to use the men's room...in the foyer between the restroom entrances there was a coffin (a promo item from the movie) that played a prominent part in it...I couldn't bring myself to pass it to enter the men's room...sad

Saw that on video late 2000s

Blew my mind in a very negative way for days

Nappyrags - how great to have seen it in the theatre. It looks beautiful on blu ray - but films aren't really the same when you watch them at home. Mario Bava's films look beautiful - and that's the best in my eyes. Barbara Steele looks luminous in this. It's worth tracking all her Italian horror films, in my world. Not great films in the conventional sense of the word, perhaps - but conventions are for the conventional anyway.

My brother was at 2/22/74, he says it's a killer show, only time he saw Garcia sing " Nobody's Fault but Mine". Jim, some 1968 would be fantastic, as a Dave's Pick or a stand alone release. It will be interesting to see if Dave keeps the same format for the last two picks or veers off course and puts out some 1968,69 or 70s shows. I would always be more happy with a full show release, but partial shows are totally cool on these earlier years where a reel flip might make it hard to release the whole show. But I'm with everybody else my favorite years are 1961( Sleepy Hallow Hog Stompers), to 6/3/95( my last show) and everything in between.

I had fun that night.

Good to see ya, we missed you!

Ever notice how Strider always somehow was at “the” shows!
Must be psychic, so, have any good lottery or stock tips! ; )

I was in 4th grade in Wisconsin

The bus was 8.5 years away

I'm seriously envious of strider shows (and many others that frequent this place and share their stories freely). Man, that February Winterland run
must have been epic.

....I'll tell the wife later.

the beloveds in our lives have way too much control over us

just go

Wow.
Wow.

I would love a soundboard of this show

So we don't have to hear the

TALKERS/YAKKERS

Proudfoot, there is a soundboard of 6/22/76 that circulates. Try Lossless Legs website.

Let's try this a different way. The key is to include all of text below with no spaces when you put it in your browser bar. Good luck. There's some nice pictures and some funny comments so folks will enjoy it. Plus the sheer enthusiasm the author has for this show is nice to see.

Or is it just not showing on my screen?

Gotta revisit that show

Also thank you for LL tip adh68

Doing a little run this spring (March) starting in Nashville and ending in Syracuse. Cheap seats 57.00 (balcony) mostly 77.00 for rest of hall except right up front center which are 275.00 plus. vip packages 374.00. Still plenty of tickets available. Strict covid protocol fully vaxed or no entry, negative tests not accepted.
Coming close by but I don't think I'm ready for crowds yet. Bobby hasn't been scheduled here since 14 when he cancelled to clean himself up for the fare the well shows. Might not have another opportunity to see Bobby as time keeps on ticking but... I don't know, if tickets still available closer to show date and things are cooled down a bit with the virus, maybe then will address it again. To all those who will go, enjoy and stay safe.

Happy Almost Christmas

Happy Shortest Day of the Year - it will only get brighter from here

Enjoy some Good Ole GD

Be Well People!

this cold December morning"? Man this song has far out cool lyrics; check them out sometime. This song is so much better on the original version of Aoxomoxoa then on the remixed version. The original version of Aoxomoxoa is such a cool record. I think it's time for a cold one, this cold December morning

:)))

In the vault or not, stop messing around already and release those three

could have been his 81st.
Good old Frank.
Thank you for teaching me.
G.

I really like the original mix of Aoxomoxoa, too. Especially Mountains of the Moon with that ghostly out of key choir. I guess somebody thought that toning down the psychedelic weirdness might suck in a few of the more 'normal' rock fans who picked up on American Beauty, but, c'mon: psychedelic weirdness was the whole freeking point of Aoxomoxoa.

Same goes for Anthem of the Sun. Why take something that weird and try to make it appeal to the normies? The original mix was perfect AFAIC.

Drifting to earth, remnants of forgotten dreaming ...

Crow - that's how I see-and saw it, too. When I first read about the Dead, it was the psychedelic connection that made me want to hear them, not their proximity to mainstream rock. By chance I managed to get an original mix of Anthem in the 70's, which was the one that turned me on to them-but the copy of Aoxomoxoa I got was the remixed version. Consequently, I always thought that one was a bit overrated . I didn't hear the original version until many years later-what a difference !

Hope you have a safe and happy holidaze,
And a Festivus for the rest of us!
