Grateful Dead

If you notice Jerry's alligator guitar pic. on the gatefold and the microphones with the tape near the mic. wire is the same microphones taped together in the liner notes newspaper clip. Same tape position on.mics. so same venue.

....I heard, through certain channels, and yes. The knobs went to 11. Spinal Tap made the news today by the way.

"Well. This piece is called 'Lick My Love Pump.'" Can I pretty please have the soundtrack Normanized? Today was a good day.
Mr. Ones odds. Taking bets. 5-7.
SMELL THE GLOVE!!

KF, It's a Pee-anner, not a Pie-anner. Good thing there's spellcheck, pass the moonshine round.

So I finally got around to listening to that Albatross link you posted. I clicked the link.. then copied it and posted it to another page so I could come back and read the thread here.. got distracted and was really getting into it.. then I went to read the posts here and realized I had two running at once, but not at the same time.. when I killed one by hitting the back button, the whole vibe died. Play this twice (or thrice) at once with the timing offset. It's way cooler that way. Trust me.

Now back to that West Virginia moonshine..

My Daves picks 32 came unexpectedly today. Ripped it, uploaded it and listening now. I keep getting distracted so I've had to restart the show after Bertha a dozen times. Bertha is tight. Bobby is killer loud and playing really well. Billy's snare sounds great. Jerry's guitar is loud enough on this opener. Keith a little low but fuckit, he's loud enough on that ragtime pie-anner solo during BIODTL. This is a top 3 '73 Bertha for me (not that there are a lot of them released in '73). Yeah, I'm up to Row Jimmy and so far it's sounding great (which by the way, Dead & Co played at Madison Square Garden the other night and Bobby wasn't playing at one point - he was using his guitar as an oar as if he was rowing; I pointed this out to my cousin and he turned to me and said yeah, but he's rowing backwards - and sure enough he was). Anyway, I don't know how this first disc can be heard in any other vein than pure uncut pre-second-set face melting Dead..... but sticks and stones love, sticks and stones.

Anyone notice that Jerry is playing the Wolf in the picture inside the CD gatefold? I thought he played the alligator Strat until his birthday in 1973. Either that bit of information I heard is false or that picture's not from Philly.

Even more interesting is Bobby's guitar. It's a Gibson but that's no ES hollow body. It looks like an SG, but not like a classic style. It has weird looking pickups I've never seen before, and a bunch of volume knobs.

Newman.

Hmmmm......apparently(at least according to tracking), My Dave's 32 was accepted at my local post office Saturday, and then shows arrived at my local P.O. yesterday, and now shows received at my local P.O. today. Anyone wanna give me the odds on if I'll get it any time this week?

#19773 here :-)

Looks nice! Looking forward to digging in...

Pure gold. Bill and Phil coming through great, and well Jerry it's obvious.

I’m listening to 9-3-85 Miller.34772 and on Lovelight Bob completely blows his imitation of a Pigpen rap and just starts talking (too much for me to type) and at some point says something like “there’s not much of a message here tonight”.
I found it quite funny in the context of the discussion of Bob sayings.

Sixtus,
Hopefully Newman to the rescue with the USPS fiasco.

Food for thought:
If you see Sixtus and his family do you refer to them as Sixti?

No worries dude...I look forward to your review!

Some of you made reference to Sturgill Simpson a couple days back...I’ve been listening to a lot of Country and Americana lately:

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: Will the Circle Be Unbroken...Vinyl box set...this is awesome! Was referenced in the Ken Burns series recently and features guest appearances from many country greats and I think recorded mostly at the Grand Ole Oprey.

The Travelling Wilburys Vol 1&2...doesn’t get any better than this!

Josh Ritter...I like a lot of his stuff, but my first suggestion would be Animal Years. Recent album Fever Breaks is also good! Got the chance to see him live in KC this past September...one hell of a live show!

Peace all
