    Garcia still works wonders on the guitar. His obbligato behind rhythm guitarist Bob Weir's vocal on the gun-fighter ballad, "El Paso," ranged from flamenco figures to blues lines.

The previously unreleased complete show from the Riverfront Coliseum, Cincinnati, OH 10/2/76 is all up from start to finish with xxx 70s-era first set songs like "Promised Land" and "El Paso" to Europe '72 staples and classic covers ("It's All Over Now," "Big River"), wrapped up with a unique second-set jam that opens with "Dancing In The Street" and closes with "Sugar Mag." An all-around good time! Limited to 25,000 numbered copies and shipping this week, DAVE'S PICKS VOL. 53: RIVERFRONT COLISEUM, CINCINNATI, OH 10/2/76 was recorded by Dan Healy and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. P.S. As a bonus, we have a quintet of songs from 5/4/77 (recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson), the rest of which was featured on Dave’s Picks Vol. 50 and its Bonus Disc. As we mentioned in 2012 when this series started, we’re determined to provide complete shows whenever possible. And even when a show is only partially included on a release as bonus material, we’re happy to complete it later on down the line, as we’ve done here. We hope you dig it. - David Lemieux

    Real men don't get sedated.

    I get a routine colonoscopy every five years and never get sedated. The monitor is always placed in front of me so I can see what's going on up there. When the endoscope gets to the awkward bend the nurse forcefully pushes against me to reduce the pain but it doesn't last long. Luckily up until now the doctor has never inserted the thing so far that we can see the back of my teeth. Once its over and I've had the free sandwich and coffee I can drive home straight away, something you can't do after sedation.

    Good luck, Vguy! Enjoy.

    Er, Vguy said 'colonoscopy'....

    Well, there I was on the slab, having been put to sleep for the old probe-ola, when I opened my eyes and started watching the screen, along with the doctor and nurse. Amazing! A camera is heading down this long, pink corridor, seemingly with a headlamp or something. Dark curves ahead and like ribbing on the walls. Totally sci-fi!

    The doctor turns around, sees me watching, and says "Hey! you're not supposed to be awake!" I mumbled something, something akin to "But this is fascinating..." And he reaches over and turns a knob and I'm out.

    Well, this is a true story and you said you like my stories!!!! Yeeeeehhhhhiiiiiiii!!!!!!!

    Actually, and I'm sure you'll agree, the old probe-ola has gotten quite easy to do. Not like the bad old days. Good luck on the results, Vguy. I hope this lightens the mood. No one really wants the probe-ola. But it's critical for preventive health. (There! From scatological humor to a public health message in one paragraph...)

    Here's to news from Dave L. soon..............

    And now, I must be on my way....... Q#$%QET&(^UI(Y!!!!!

    Bring it on Hendrixfreak. Would love to see it. Blues for Allah, always has been one of my favorites. Such a unique release. Used to have a huge Blues for Allah tapestry.

    And what will be in the big box this year. Hope we find something out soon.

    Finally, hopefully they will do a MUATM again this year.

    It's March, let's get the ball rolling ...

    with an announcement of the BfA 50th, with some outtakes and alternates, supported by the Bob Fried Memorial Boogie performance by the GD from June . It's short but sweet.

    Y'all probably get tired of my stories, but in the fall of 1975 a friend who'd made it to Calif returned to our town with a large reel-to-reel, very nice aud of that show (probably 2nd gen) and we scurried about to find a proper machine to play it on, then daisy-chained 2-3 cassette decks to get a few 3rd gen tapes to spread around. I can't remember a dang thing about the war of 1812 but I clearly recall puffing down on "Thai" sticks that night. (Probably Hawaiin or good Cali spleef wrapped around a bamboo skewer, but who really knew?)

    Fast forward to a handful of years back when I believe I read that Betty's soundboard of the show had made it back to the vault.

    This is short show, less than an hour and a half, but the playing fairly leaps from the speakers. One of the best Crazy Fingers. Help on the Way before they settled on the lyrics. Just a very fun show, even with the BfA weirdness delivered with a straight face in the second set. (Okay, no straight faces in that crowd.)

    Then let's see what they've cooked up for the box.

    Looking for the positive among the ashes...

Hey Now Billy!
Your mention of a Chinacat > Cumberland made me go digging.
In my wanderings, I realize you're off by a decade, it was '85 (vs. '95) they ripped that out.
Gonna give it a listen this morning.
Love these crumbs and following the trail to the cookie.

I’ll just add to 1st shows intel et el. Definitely recommend stands for bookshelves. Your tweeter/horn should be positioned at ear height! If possible, place your speakers equal distance apart with your listening spot forming an perfect triangle. Use the rule of fifths (thirds usually not practical). Experiment with distance to back wall: too close and it’ll sound to muddy/bassy, too far out and it’ll sound to thin…
Using same brand usually ensures good speaker synergy.
Can’t recall hearing the other brands (which might be telling in itself) but have heard Klipsh and liked em.
If you can’t get a trial, at least you should be able to return them if for some reason you really don’t like them.
Good Luck, may the force be with you lol

3/9/95 it was a typo. Thanks for setting me straight, lord only knows what I would do if someone didn't keep on eye on me.

Hopefully no BlowOut though.
Good Luck to You, Sir!

Propofol means not knowing what they did to you.

in my case is that as I came "out of it," I found myself already in conversation with someone and my awareness of that lagged behind the actual conversation. Gawd only knows what I am saying before I become aware I'm talking.

Of course, check the headlines -- lots of that goin' around.

Vguy -- not only congrats on the results, but you may be the first among us to celebrate your anal probe on dead.net!! A first! Yes!

Sending smiles your way, my man. And thanks for the visuals....................

I like Jer's voice and the sound of his guitar. There's one JGB release I really love but it escapes me now as to which one. I just kind of shuffle through them and listen without committing all of the details to memory. There's a lot up there already - at age 56 I could be at capacity - so adding more new data could begin to push the old out.

And make no mistake about it, folks - this old world ain't what she used to be (sighs).

My advice to Jer would be, don't quit your day job. Some in the know have alleged that he was a live beast and just lived to be on the road, while others assert that as captain of that particular ship he got a bigger cut and needed the cash to support his habit. Probably a bit of both... on a good night it was damn good and on a bad night it was... boring.

Vguy way to keep the metal torch burning. Metal! Turn it up to 11! \m/ God I used to love metal before I got into the Good ol' Grateful Dead and became a Grateful Dad. I still stoke my metal jones occasional... it's good music to drive fast to or get ready to compete in anything, but remains a fixture of my adolescence. Pictures in my locker from Hit Parader of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and AC/DC along with Cindy Crawford and various SI swimsuit models.

Ah, the eighties. Now all my favorite bands are 80. What the hell happened?

Last five:

Led Zeppelin - How the West was Won
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Aerosmith - Rocks
Eric Clapton - Crossroads 2: Live in the Seventies (disc 3)
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

\m/

....yeah. i can see the attraction to it.
It was like seven or eight seconds of absolute bliss.
Danger Will Robinson.
See? I just double posted.
Time for bed.

Last Man Standing - Jerry Lee Lewis
Love It To Death - Alice Cooper
Bakersfield Sound cd3 - Various
Sun Singles Collection Vol3 cd3 - Various
Lucky Charms - Michael Messer

Last Dead Daves 16 3/28/73. Two cds of mainly high energy country rock followed by a 3rd cd with Dark Star, Eyes, and Playing. Like listening to two different bands in a way.

First time my and my friends got our hands on a full case of beer in like 8th grade, it was a case of Coors Extra Gold.
That was back when like one beverage would give you a real killer buzz; having an entire 24 of those things was like infinite heaven at the time.

Do they even make that stuff anymore or has it gone the way of Bud Dry?
So many Legends.
