    Dave's Picks Vol. 51: Scranton Catholic Youth Center, Scranton, PA (4/13/71)

    Look out Big Boss Man, Pigpen's on the loose! We're shedding our lovelight on the not-to-be-overlooked Spring 1971 tour with DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51, featuring the complete unreleased show from the SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 AND the 2nd set from the previous night at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh, PA on 4/12/71.

    These gems find the original Grateful Dead quintet delivering some of their most inspired, energetic, and tightest performances. There's a dab of WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, a splash of AMERICAN BEAUTY, a great foreshadow into what would soon appear on SKULL & ROSES. And you'll need nearly all those fingers (or those toes) because - count 'em - there's eight classic covers ("Mama Tried," "Hard To Handle," and a rare "I Second That Emotion," to name a few) done as only the Dead could do them with Mr. McKernan and his magical harmonica.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 51: SCRANTON CATHOLIC YOUTH CENTER, SCRANTON, PA 4/13/71 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    P.S. We had a little extra room on Disc 2, so please enjoy the final five DP48 bonus tracks to complete 10/24/70, St. Louis, MO.

    For Phishermen, the following free article popped in my news feed on Phish - “ Four Days With Phish, America's Greatest Jam Band for 40 Years and Counting” - originally published in GQ Magazine (!). (Have Phish gone bespoke!?)
    Good article, should be available to one and all.

    upgrades?

    This past year went from a Denon and Polks to a two channel Marantz and a pair of Denali. Wow. Wish I had done that years ago. Where to from there? Seems plenty for a 850 square foot floor plan.

    "171lbs and produces a SPL of 141db...." no idea what that means but makes me think of my Black Sabbath aficionado friend that has a subwoofer as heavy as a refrigerator.

    Oh yeah, gotta keep it GD related: in the car today was 10/19/72 from Listen to the River. Phil's lines in Jack Straw get me every time!

    Been having some stereo issues. Part of me wants to upgrade. Cant remember who turned us on to the Amazon (Klipsch) Subwoofer deal last month. But didnt buy, now my 4.8 year old subwoofer may have gone kaput. Will take some time to go thru wiring.

    Also have considered buying a self powered speakers, instead of using old Yamahas. Dang, the - JBL 4329P Studio Monitor Powered Loudspeaker. Look awesome. Problem, $4500 for to extremely high powered self contained studio monitors. Reviews are very positive. Just too much power and way too heavy. Read online review, I think it said each one ways 171lbs and produces a SPL of 141db. Wow, who needs that. Maybe some day, if I get my barn built.

    There was a lot of good acid around at the time and I was lysergically enhanced for the duration. When we went for a stroll, my mate and I were under the impression that we were being stalked by a pair of park wardens, one tall thin one and one short fat one. Strangely, they appeared to us to be dressed in Bavarian attire. It was a great day out, despite the vagaries of the English weather. Apparently there is an audience recording of dubious quality but I've never heard it. I recall the live surround sound being very impressive.

But I feel I must comment on Joe Biden's decision to step down. A selfless and dignified act, unusual in a world where self promotion is paramount, and multifarious crimes are routinely committed and accepted as normal political activity.

It's a really hard thing to do: to admit you're too old, to step aside, and relinquish power. And it doesn't always end well.

I don't want to get into politics, but I will say I think Biden deserves praise for putting his ego aside and doing the right thing.

Other than that, I'll just say that I hope that everyone who is eligible to vote will take that responsibility seriously. Get informed, think deeply, and vote with your best self., please.

Vacationing in Colorado right now, seeing the sights and having some fun leading up to TTB at Red Rocks this weekend. Listening to GOGD channel on Sirius. For now, at least, life is really good.

Smoky skies from forest fires and hot AF during the day

GD covered a lot of R&B and blues classics

At the festival the PA music played between acts featured a lot of R&B and blues classics

I kept thinking "GD covered this one ...and this one...
and this one..."

Daverock Scranton Joe has always given the best of himself for the country he has served virtually his entire adult life. The act of a real man is to put all before himself. Joe Biden is a real man! God Bless America!

JJC - I would agree there. But surely selflessness is a quality that transcends national boundaries. As Tiny Tim says in Dickens "A Christmas Carol" - "God bless us everyone!"

Tired of watching liberal clowns trash our country which I love. Sick people. Switched to Trump because we can do so much better. Start paying attention. Economy sucks, crime sucks, illegals suck. The Dead's music makes me forget it all.

Retirement can be the end result of a process. It's not a snap decision made impulsively if you are in a position where choice is a factor. Must be very difficult if you are in the public eye, when the sequence of events leading to it is visible and open to public scrutiny. This has absolutely nothing to do with politics. All of us experience the ageing process and deal with it in our own way. Normally with some degree of privacy.

Just waiting on a friend. Nothing here yet.

I wonder if Dave pays any attention to sales. He still says these all sell out fast, some in a couple of hours, some in days, some in weeks. He needs to update his stich, it is now years.

Edit- The double 85 dose is now sold out!

The only time I will post political stuff.....I always thought GOGD fans were open minded and open to both sides with discussion. I am wrong again. It appears from the comments lately that the Dems/Progs could have Alfred E. Newman as their candidate, and all the Heads will just follow in line, like lemmings. Who cares about what some Hollywood millionaire thinks, as if they know anything besides group think. Please try researching/reading to have an open mind. Joe B. did nothing, and all of his lemmings hid his deteriorating condition for years. I'm still not sure who I will vote for, if I vote at all. We definitely don't need another giveaway person as President. Look at the inflation numbers, sky high food prices, and unaffordable housing for the majority of citizens, and actually make an intelligent decision

Guys. This is where I weigh in and say enough with the politics please. Thank you. Within the bounds of civility and respect, please feel free to take it to the long-dormant Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind, Still More Current Events: dead.net slash forum slash trouble-ahead-trouble-behind-still-more-current-events

been waitin on the bus all day.

And, I love a lot of buzz!

Waitin on that right now.

Back when they were GD, I always wanted to see a lightning bolt tour starting at Alpine and finishing in New Orleans.

But I will settle for a fillmore east/west box!!!

or whatever that rumored box was.

The next box will be revealed during the days between.

I hope it's a box I can live without so I can save money and storage space.

"Jesus just left Chicago
and he's bound for New Orleans
you don't have to worry
'cause taking care of business is his name"

Ah, take me with you, Jesus!

I would probably not buy it

But you know I would anyway

Oh. If it's well north of $200, prolly no deal.

Speculation only

Time will tell, as always
