Grateful Dead

RYXS - thanks. I forgot about what you discussed as I posted same info a few years back but forgot about it in my own situation. Deep south here, had this happen once before and it was delivered. I will give them a day's grace period. Thing is, it has always, after the one incident, tracked very well. Detailed tracking worked Grate; and, out for delivery and delivered worked Grate. Hopeful today is the day. Thanks for helping me remember, my brain is getting fuzzy. Still no plans to go postal, in that since of things. But plan to go down to make a physical request to check their system. It is odd that original 52 got lost and dead.net gracefully sent a replacement. Very thankful for that. Makes me wonder what happened to it, and what was the original # on production.

Oro - It has been a couple of months. Read most things, sometimes get behind. As some might remember I had my appendix explode 8+ years ago. In December, I told the head nurse at the Doc that I could tell the amount of poison they filled me with, she cocked her head and raised an eyebrow, in order to kill the poison within was starting to have an effect. I told her I think I have hit peak recovery and now about to start the downhill slide. Just really starting to feel my age and have several surgeries needed. Just stuck a bit.

Sixtus! My man. Always great to see your thoughts. As well as all others on here. To me, you are our fruitful bough. Hope you and the family are well.

Wish that for all others here also. Think about this group often.

....he destroys this version.

Yall be cool

Damn! I love this version, Jerry is almost perfect. Though it's Keith who is blowing me away with the finger fluttering of notes up and down the keyboard, perfectly backing up Jerry's vibe. Donna is also a shining gem of angelic harmonic supporting vocals.
I dig what Hendrixfreak was saying about Jerry's influence in musical sonic groove of post hiatus Dead. From all official releases of JGB stuff early in that year {1976} I have heard and own, {"Don't Let Go" & "GarciaLive#21"} the new mellow & soulful vibe is supreme transcendence sonically to my ears.
Thanks to all those who helped clarify that TMNS & MLB jam complexity. Still a trip!

Howdy Gary.,long time, no see…

Our 53 was scheduled to be delivered by 7 30last night.
TOO stopped on way home around 5-5 30 to get normal mail,
plus tracking said “delivered”…but it wasn’t in the box…when she asked a postal worker working late about it, he repeated what we’ve been told before in the recent past “we scan it upon arrival but sometimes don’t have time to put it in the box”. So probably started doing this so it looks like it was delivered on time in case they fall behind…No biggie, just funny that they used to use “out for delivery” in this situation, and wouldn’t update to “delivered” until it actually was, which was nice because you wouldn’t make a trip into town and wait forever in the Covid lobby, just to get told the above.
Again, no biggie, just so they arrive which tonight it was in the box!

And Thanks for getting it here, and in record time! Wasn’t sure with all the misinformation on the net (image that ; ) if it was going to get sent back due to contract issues, but someway, somehow…so yippee fuggin skippy it’s here!

Now I just need to finish up my 1970 dive so as not to mess up my aural pallet by cross pollination lol This will make a great pallet cleanse before going 85!

Edit got hey nowed for colons again? Hmmm, sometimes you eat the baaarr, sometimes the Baarrr eats you…

As TMNS is based around the same chord progression as MLB - yes the TMNS bridge sounds like the main part of of MLB.

Whatever particular label one ends up putting on it, it's pretty cool (to me also) to have that get conceptualized and rolled out for what would seem to be just two shows.
The one from Cobo is just 'bliss' to my ears ... Cheers!

I don't know where ya live Gary or what your postal situation is, and whether or not you've got theft issues, but I can tell you this. I had a similar situation a few times in the past (not lately though) while eagerly awaiting a cd and having issues with the strange changes on the web based package trackers. Many are third party, {so I always try to get the shipper's direct tracking info} and one even said it was delivered when not, strangely to be delivered the next day. Sometimes it comes a day late and all a sudden all that erroneous on-line Fugazi bogus bit about it being anywhere but my house is gone. Suspiciously all info regarding the package is correct and updated. This is the bad side of all this digital tech when one computer doesn't know what the other computer is doing, like the old timey adage about government hands.
Anyways,...... I truly wish you the best with the situation. The show is `76 bliss!

Agree with prior comments regarding this TMNS, that the band takes a slight detour after the first part of the jam following the vocals. What I hear is them going back to the bridge part of the song, "There's a band out on the highway, high steppin' into town...." and they're playing that progression but without the singing. It does also resemble the MLB chords to my ear but it almost seems like they were trying to road test adding that bridge part sans lyrics back in, cause it also sounds like they do it the next night in Detroit. Curious if it occurred anytime after that or if it was dropped. They did that stuff and tinkered with things from time to time, which I find fascinating and really does inform their approach to most things. TMNS was also still in it's infancy and hadn't quite solidified yet - like the '76 Samson's;
Although I do rather enjoy those too even without the signature Jerry blazing line, cause the rapid fire runs with the Travis Bean are just gooey blitzing fun to my ears.
I digress.

Be Well People!
Seventy-Sixtus

So, over weekend it said delivery tuesday by 7. Then today gets pushed back till tomorrow by 5.

I just double checked to make sure on tracking updates on my slow poke. Updated about 10 minutes ago, delivered. All right. Check mailbox, Nothing!

Watched postman drive away.

So unfortunately fellas, might be another reship. Hate to have to go down there. Surely, there tracking number matches to a delivery employee.

This 50th Anniversary jobbie looks worth a punt. I never bought this back when I was a grasshopper, so it will be like getting a new album for me. If nothing else, it's got a great cover.
