    Weird, that post reminds me of something I was thinking... but with an element of danger.

    And the site is laggy.. it’s out of date on my computer but up to speed on my phone. Trippy shit!

    What about a twofer? 10/30/80 Wednesday & 10/31/80 Thursday?
    Just an idea. Jim you gotta do both tomorrow ;)

    GOGD,

    Sounds like a good idea. 10/30 tomorrow?

    My #35 still not in system. I thought I would have it by this weekend, but it now looking like mid August. Interested in what you all think of the release?

    Popped The Tabs

    ICECRMCNKD - haha no doubt!

    DeadVikes - Sorry about dashing those dreams, and yeah that's a fact filled interview, lotsa stuff to process.
    If it makes you feel any better some of my dreams were dashed as well, 1970 is such an epic year, I'd always hoped there was more hiding somewhere, but after watching that, I'm not so sure.

    David Lemieux you must see the Festival Express tapes safely delivered to the Vault, this is our most desperate hour. Help me Vault@Dead.net, you're my only hope.
    Droid noises in the background.
    You must learn the ways of the Force if you're to come with me to the Vault.

    All this 1980's talk is making me want to listen to some of that stuff, might have to try and pick one of the existing full SBD shows for a revisit, 10/30 & 10/31, I'm looking at you.

    DaP 35 has arrived.

    I got some listening to do, I'm way behind. Too much research and not enough music is making me a very dull boy.

    You must do what you feel is right. Learn about the force.

    Thanks for posting that link. I watched the whole thing and my dreams are dashed. Well shit, why did they erase the tapes!

    It was interesting that later someone asked what show some of the songs came from on Dead Set and Dave said, great question, we don't know. And they made major edits to some of the songs.

    I guess it is time for me to move on from that. I am bummed, because those full shows would have been a huge treat in Multi Track.

    I am sure glad the vault is filled with other treasures.
    Be well all!

    Cal Expo

    I'm really enjoying this 8-4-89 Cal Expo show. Great choice. 89 was so consistently good. Built to last is one of my favorites. Long 1st set. Pre-Drums Eyes and a Crazy Fingers!?

    Definitely release worthy.

    Thanks!

    Wasn't sure if I was shouting into the wind, so your positive feedback is much appreciated :)

    As for The List, yes, yes, yes!
    I'd love that and I'd even help do it ;)
    I saw you mention that earlier and think it's a great idea.

    I've been fascinated with the story of the tapes since I got my first one.
    As it was handed to me, I asked "For Free?" and the response was "Yeah man, never sell them that's against the rules."

    This strange occurrence in the middle of the decade of greed, blew my 15 year old brain wide open.

    I've been fascinated ever since:
    1. Where do these recordings come from?
    2. How many are there?
    3. How can I get the best copies of them all?

    Those three questions & my curiosity about the answers continues to inspire me to this very day.

    What A Long Strange Trip It's Been!

    EDIT: JimInMD, agreed! Funny you mentioned 5/1/70 that was another one of Bob Minkin's cleverly chosen photographs, the master reels of that show appeared on the same page. Collector Heads are really really pretty neat.

    1970 Acoustic Stuff

    I wonder what the Alfred College stuff would sound like if they cleaned it up. That's a decent full show with an acoustic set. I always liked that one, but it's an East coast college with a terrific emphasis in art and ceramics of all kinds.. so to me it has good karma.

    https://archive.org/details/gd1970-05-01.sbd.miller.95683.sbeok.flac16

    There's other spring 1970 stuff as many have mentioned somewhat recently.

    Agree with Billy.. right on.

    Good ole Grateful Dead The List

    Thanks for the great information about the vault, your information always is well thought out and reliable. I would love a list of shows that are in the vault, it looks like you would too. I posted a couple of weeks ago that I wish Dead.net would print out such a list so that we could see it. They could print out one list a month for one year (list of the month). I think that people would really look forward to that list each month, I know I would. If people want to remain surprised about what's in the vault , then they don't have to look at the list. Again, thanks for all the great information you put out, your postings are always so interesting and positive.

I don't think anyone was suggesting that having the vaccine and boosters is a bad idea. Just that you can feel unwell after you have had them. That's not misinformation, I've had all the shots and it happened to me, too. Doesn't put me off having the next shot when my time comes though. I think the side effects you get are how you would react if you got the curse itself.

all good

so i revisited 6/13/94 Set II (yeah I really like it and recommend for the "adventurous" and the Dew is very much muy excellente) and now with nitecat in 1980 and right there with the Let It Grow. Sweet recording.

in other "news" just got some personal good news and a weight lifted off my shoulders. The rain after hours of wind and dust was a harbinger.

We’ll give that a whirl sometime, don’t think we’ve down a 94 so, like you said, extra credit if nothing else.
Rain, rain, raiaaaNnn, the weathers fine! Glad to hear, it’s clouding up here and supposed to…but these days ya never know. Scary shit lately, all kinds of fire already and only April! Duck Pound fire was less than 10 miles away. Luckily they were able to contain right on the edge of town, but lots of folks had to evacuate for a few days.
They were saying front range possible fire conditions today historical, yikes!
Up here not too much better. So good news for you, here, we might have to break out the rain dance!

ISTSHOW knows of what I speak! Rain PLEASE!
Hey, cool list, Rhapsody is a current fav, not sure what version offhand, and Debussy, classical for deadheads lol. I believe Bob has stated he was influenced by Debussy’s angular stuff?

First night I was upper bowl, second row, aisle, just back from the first tower of speakers. Sound quality was real and spectacular.
Second night lower bowl side near stage but under the overhang. Sound was pretty good but due to the overhang all the voices from people behind me and in the concession area were a constant drone and muffled the music somewhat.
Third night straight back lower bowl between the rear towers. Sound was real good.

Thanks again GDTS!

There’s video of all three nights on utoob (search DeadFloyd69). Check it out, you can get a sense of how good the sound was, even with a recording made with an iPhone (the trick is to cup your hand around the end of the phone where the microphone is, it focuses the sound into the microphone and blocks out noise from behind).

Yes Mrs. DV, it’s just Raven Space.
Sit down and take a listen.
Then check out Earthquake Space.

Bluecrow, I like 94.

Okay, then.

Tonight was Grateful Dead tribute night at Target Field. Imagine that. Didn't hear any dead playing.
Twins beat the White Sox 2-1. Good game.
Are you still out there Deadheadbrewer?

So, enjoyed Nitecat's recording of 6/13/80. What is not to like.

New Minglewood, Sugaree, Althea,
Lost Sailor, SOC!. Give us a China Rider, Terrapin Station. Must have been a good show to be at.

Let me know when you guys start seeing those shipping notifications.

Wait earthquake space conekid, what is that?
Oberon is flowing again in MN. How about in PA?

Come on now Jim, I just posted about most communication is non-verbal, body language, eyes, etc. So it can be difficult to communicate, truly, when I (we) are trying to live and post some here. It means I fall into the same trap as Doc pointed out. Trying to move too fast, posting and then reading, not editing first.

Anyway, I got the third shot in late December. Then caught Omicron in late January. I hope folks understand that after my appendix ruptured, I am immuno-compromised. I started working from home in the 2008 range. So between working from home and having a compromised immune system, I have been more introverted. So the stay home stuff didnt impact me at all. Actually, the appendix where it attaches to the colon kept shrinking until the appendix floated off of the colon and then exploded. The colon was completely sealed up so no surgery for the appendix itself. When I went for my two week visit after leaving the hospital, they found all of these infected masses growing in my abdomen, pieces of the appendix causing new infection. So then, I went back into the hospital for 2 weeks. Back on strong antibiotics. But then, they also had to stick 5 drains in me to purge off the infected masses. I had 4 drains in abdomen, with one being inserted through the rectum, plus a chest tube. The infection started to cause my chest to fill with fluid to the point where I could not speak without coughing. I left after two weeks, went back to house. Then when I went back for a 2 week visit, the nurse practitioner said she could not prescribe pain meds because she had to get me in the hospital immediately as I had MRSA. When they saved my life, they pumped me full of iv fluid and antibiotics. By doing this my legs swelled to the point that the skin tore open. The scabs of those skin tears were infected with MRSA. Now when I went in for the third, I still had one drain in my liver. That drain was in me for 70 days.

So yeah, I had no hesitation taking the vaccine or the booster. As I think about it, it may be the omicron which is causing short term memory issues. I have been quickly trying to adapt, to focus my mind when I am talking to someone. I started to notice this memory issue about a month ago. Is it age, appendix, omicron? Just dont know.

Now one last thing about the appendix issue. I was so sick they had to bring in the area infectious disease doctor that reports to the CDC. I know one of the reasons she was brought in was to authorize antibiotics that have not been released to the public domain. That is, with the over use of antibiotics, the CDC has kept certain antibiotics for future use. Now, how much damage did they cause, no way for anyone to know. With my four main diagnosis when I was admitted being sepsis, keto-acidosis, renal failure, pulmonary failure. The point being, my body has gone thru a lot of inflammatory issues over the last 6 years.

Hopefully no harm no foul. I too have lost someone close to me. The underbelly of nature can be hard to deal with. Hey, but I still get to crank some dead today!!!

G

Will post first, then edit. I have lost several long posts over the years to posting issues here. So I post, then edit.

DV - Night before the Raven Space - 4/18/82 Hartford. 75th anniversary of San Francisco Earthquake. Can't say I've ever heard it so in the queue it goes.

There was a Pearl Harbor Space 12/6/81 at the Rosemont Horizon.

Conekid - Be sure to check out that Seattle show if you haven't already. solid shows in Eugene also. '95 shows in Seattle also had some really nice music.

Gary - wow.

A fine Saturday to crank some Dead. Onward :-)

Some people report post- Covid brain fog.
Glad you pulled through. With all your inflammation you could also have some brain inflammation which can affect cognition.

Bluecrow,
I checked my HD yesterday and 6-13-94 set2% is on there.

DV,
I was able to get 2 cases of 16 oz cans on Oberon Day 3-21-22.

Yes, got a DaP42 shipping notice but tracking is not yet available.

Hope all well with folks. Just got in from checking on my own. They are doing better for their age than I am doing for mine. Ouch

You guys have never heard 4/18/82, especially liking spring 82…blimey!
I haven’t mentioned it because I just assumed, and we all know what happens when we assume, that everyone has heard that one! Well, look at the upside, you guys are in for a treat as the whole show is good, not just the cherry.

6/13/80: good job Senior Wiseman sp? sorry.
Interesting show too. Overall thought it was good, JG seemed to struggle at times and I don’t think I’ve heard him having so many tuning issues since tuners and custom guitars? Perhaps some kind of guitar issues?
Good show though, really dug the new tunes that they didn’t always seem to have their parts down.
Interesting catching 6/13/94 next. Same venue, same day, just FOURTEEN years later!
The 94 was ok, but sounded like they might of been back too far as you can hear way more of the venues acoustic signature. I believe Nitecat said he was using a high stand in FOB? That would certainly reduce the venue, ambience and crowd! Can’t wait to check out more! We need a list so we can work em into rotation.
That is if you SB snobs can handle it lol, JUST TEASING!
The 94 was good. Er, hard to put into words…tired and industrial came to mind. The former was more a vibe, but seemed to cover much until Bird Song, which had a little extra, but that’s where I thought of the latter. It sounded industrial, which I don’t mean good or bad, just different? I’ve not been a big fan of Jers guitar sound during this era.
It’s not bad, just different? Bob changed axes and crap constantly, but besides effects etc, Jer kept that trademark sound mostly intact up until here. I don’t think it’s not using live speakers on stage since that happened in 92. Perhaps it’s that different guitar (forget the name) he was using, or perhaps something in line?
Felt like it sounded like a cheap piezo pickup on a plastic ovation like guitar through a crappy amp. Of course I’m exaggerating but it did sound different, for good or for Ill, your taste may certainly differ.
But the show picks up more in the second and though I did enjoy it, it reminded a little of the feelings we started to have in those days, like gulp, it might end! But all these years later I’m able to listen with different sort of ears, and don’t suffer from the hangups I had back then. So was it a 74 Beatty, no, but so what, it was still an enjoyable performance by the best band in the land. Thanks for the pick. Since not all shows from then are as consistent, it’s nice to have picks when venturing into foggy territory!
Oh, BC, if you’ve not done so, perhaps check out one of my 83 favs from that Seattle venue, 8/27/83!
Make sure you get the right version? Can’t recall but you want to hear it on speakers not cans, at least Jack Straw!
Hint, PHIL!

Daverock, back at ya!

GF: no I’ll intent ment. We just felt you misspoke, but you have since clarified and the wheel keeps turning!
Be well and rock on brother!
PS: I remember some of this horrible experience you went through before but being forgetful myself had forgotten just how horrific it was. Glad you made it and are here with us!

Oro - those Seattle shows are at 2 different venues, though just blocks apart. Coliseum is indoor, Memorial Stadium is outdoor. I think at that time Memorial Stadium was used primarily for High School football playoffs, it wasn't all that big.

Gonna have to agree to disagree somewhat on the '94 show. I didn't run Set I this time around so need to do that, but I think it's solid good show, esp. given the time period. Scarlet > Fire had that extra juice and, like I said, Jerry's cup runneth over on the Dew. and I can't ask for anything more. You're not the first I've heard by any means who didn't like Jerry's guitar sound at the time. Me? I really liked the sound of Lightning Bolt, which I think Jerry was playing that night. As chance would have it I actually attended the first Lightning Bolt show, which was the Jerry Garcia Band 8/7/93 right there in Memorial Stadium. Also saw the first Lightning Bolt Dead shows, which were later that month in Eugene. Not that I actually knew that he was playing a new guitar, I wasn't that dialed into the equipment. But Jerry's tone in all three shows sounded excellent to me. The JGB show was an afternoon affair and top shelf - release worthy later era JGB in my opinion. I think Jerry enjoyed it so much that that's how the Dead ended up playing the same venue in '94 and '95. Memorial Stadium was probably about as chill a venue as you could have in those last years. My youngest brother was out visiting that month, so backpacking, camping, and music. It was an awesome time.

I'll check out the '83.

Those two are a package deal.. The Phil Space Extravaganza. Somebody must have put something in his coffee.

I wasn't able to hit 4/18 but I plan to revisit it at some point soon. Nearly stranded in the middle of nowhere today, flat tire and issues that can sometimes come with that. All is good, got a little sunburn but had a great day. No listening though.....

Lol, sorry BC, I was worried my words were not going to be right.
I liked this show, it just made me think, remember, which in itself is ok.
But those were changing times and sometimes there’s residual baggage attached?
And I’m always preaching you shouldn’t compare apples to oranges etc, and so yes, for the time it was a fine show and I enjoyed it, and appreciate being guided to a 94 show that was enjoyable, because unfortunately, not all are as consistent. I’m glad to check out any era as long as the show is up to the standards of said era, actually, I’m pretty game for anything lol. But there can be a difference in consistency and quality between randomly picking say a 77 show or a 94-95 show, the odds that is, no?
I just have the perhaps bad habit by modern standards of critiquing what catches my ear, both good and not so good, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I don’t enjoy the show. That’s why I listen, to see how every show is different, and It’s often easier to pick out the miscues than the subtle golden yummies. Also, I can tell folks often don’t get what I’m trying to get at, but that’s on me I’m sure. But it’s all good and that’s why this here gathering spot is called with discussion!
Oh, same with the guitar thing: it’s not that I don’t like it, I just like it less than others, same with the Travis Beans. It’snot that I don’t like, I just like Tiger more etc. I’ve usually embraced the evolution in the dead’s sounds as the years rolled by, but the industrial later 90s stuff I didn’t like AS much. But it’s grown on me over the years, same with Vince in some ways. Just need more quality exposure. Like an athlete, need more reps etc!

JIM: hang in there amigo, I feel like life’s piling it up a little your way?
Sure don’t need to remind ya: “ if you get confused, listen…”
Another interesting day.
Mañana amigos!

PS, Dooaahh, thanks for correcting my venue information error. I usually check those things but being in a hurry did not. Gotsta keep it real!

52 years ago today my older sister, the one who can roll a joint one handed while driving, was at her first (and only?) show and tripping to primal Dead. Trying to find out, as some reviews have said, if this was one show or two. Deadbase lists as two nights with the first night having an acoustic then electric set that ends in Drums, with the second night (4/25/70) being electric starting with Dark Star and going through some grease with Pig's Man's World in there for what seems like a short set list. Was this a rain-out or a curfew? One reviewer said it was one night with a tape cut in Man's World and he likened the sound to being recorded in a bathtub. Not high praise but he did like the primal nature of the beast. Any ideas?
Thanks and cheers
Edit: The notes from the five versions on the Archive seem to indicate one show and there never was a 4/24 show. Looks like the five entries are from only two sources and the others are improved versions. Especially interesting are the citations of a Feeling Groovy and Tighten Up jams in the Dark Star. Gotta give this a go! Now, how do you download from the Archive?

I have had all the shots, boosters etc. Last week I got out of the hospital after not being able to breath and could not complete a sentence. I started feeling bad on Thursday, itchy throat. Then, Friday, bad chills, fever, just an all around feeling of death. Got thru the weekend but by Monday, could not breath and was literally gasping for breath. Called the VA nurse and told her my symptoms, she said "Get to the Emergency Room, now." So I went. Turns out after all my precautions, I got covid. They treated it with new antibiotics and by Friday I was able to return home. I am still on O2 and can't really go anywhere or do anything. Still weak as a puppy and am attached to this breathing machine that produces O2 by stripping the Nitrogen out of the air and gives you pure oxygen. I have no brain fog, none. I have no stamina either. Simple tasks are a burden and any thing strenuous can't be done.
On top of it all, I went to the store with my portable O2 tank, did some shopping for food stuffs, and checked out, got to the car and opened the door, turned around and the cart was rolling down the parking lot with my groceries in it. I turned in pursuit and tripped over my own feet and fell to the ground, o2 tank crashing to the ground along with disabled me resulting in bloody scrapes and a huge blood blister on left hand where most of the weight landed. Nothing broken luckily. Now, I have my groceries delivered. I don't go out. I don't drive.
Lost a filling upper left too, and then there was the car accident with my wife driving. No one hurt, just the car, 7000.00 damage done to the passengers side both doors and rear quarter panel. Got to close to a pole.
In closing, shit happens to us all, you got to roll with it. I think soon I will be actually rolling with it, in my wheel chair.
Stay cool deadheads.

Got a soft spot for mammoths.

1st Show - thanks for the rec. I love this acoustic/electric era. Listening to the sirmick transfer on relisten (sirmick trnsfers are quality for me). yes, a bit back-of-the-hall but truly very much listenable to my ears. both Jerry and Phil plus vocals and overall "sound" well captured in terms of energy. you can easily relax into this tape. plus its an excellent freaking show. Epic Dark Star > Stephen > William Tell > Eleven (last one?). On a side note this lead me to a nice DeadEssays blogpost by Light in Ashes on audience tapes from 1970. Typical thorough rundown. Plus bonus content in that in the comments there are a whole bunch of interesting taper war stories from back in those earlier days.

Oro - guitar preferences understood. To my ears Lightning Bolt had a very "clean" sound and at times almost like he was playing an acoustic. I think the Travis Beans were similar in having what I would describe as clean sound. While I loved the TB he was playing in '77, the one in '76 not so much for a long time. June '76 box finally set me straight on that. Skull and Roses Jerry sound is a favorite and I only learned in past couple years that he was playing the Rick Turner Peanut which I hadn't even really known existed, let alone its place in '71 history. And just yesterday you posted that Rick Turner had passed away. RIP.

Edit - And now, after some "research", I freaking learn that Jerry was playing Rosebud in Seattle '94. Read that he switched to Rosebud for Summer '94 and checked a photo and damn that's what he playing. Ha. Guess my ears not as calibrated as I would think sometimes. Also read that he was playing Rosebud summer tour '95, including 7/9/95, (which I saw) because Lightning Bolt was "in the shop". However - Rosebud had some technical issues mid-show 7/9 and he finished the show with Tiger. He was playing Lightning Bolt for the '95 shows I saw in Seattle and Portland. Jam in Foolish Heart 5/25 perfectly expresses what I loved about Lightning Bolt.

PT Barnum - Whew. Dodged the bullet thank goodness. Speedy full recovery.

A fine Sunday to crank some (Mammoth) Dead.

Jeez, P.T. sorry to read about all that. I know shit happens, but that's an avalanche. I hope it doesn't get you down too much, and that you have a steady recovery. A friend of mine said he had bad trouble breathing when he caught it last February - but he was okay after about three weeks. So here's hoping it won't last too long for you either.

Sis got to see the first show at that newly remodeled roller rink too. Right before the Hammond/Dead show she saw Jethro Tull and the Denver band Zepher with lead guitarist Tommy Bolin! Dang! I didn't know how pure hippy she was back then. A legacy. Waiting on a call from her to get the whole low-down. Seems the Denver cops got The Family Dog (see Canned Heat drug bust) and Mammoth Gardens both shut down to cut down on juvenile delinquency. A Denver civic leader was quoted as saying, "The place is going to Hell in a handbasket". But at least we're enjoying the ride!
Cheers and thanks Blue Crow.

per jgmf (jerry garcia's middle finger) blogspot - there were 2 shows, 4/24 and 4/25, and what we have is almost certainly from 4/25.

also a mention of another show shrouded in mystery with no circulating tapes - 4/26/70 at Poynette Wisconsin. There are photos of that show, and first hand accounts, and being a kid from the midwest it piqued my interest a while ago.

What about 4/26 Jahrhundert Halle? It's been a while since I hit this and it has to have one of the best NFA>GDTRFB transitions out there.

everyone, we will survive. Peace and love to you all.
Been stuck in 1980 today, the show I am going to put forth after that hundered year hall show, (one of my favs) is 4-29-80 at the fabulous Fox theatre in Atlanta. I have spoke of this show before and I was there and it was a gas.

Nope, not me Dennis, but not a bad guess!
You got me excited for a minute as we played a show with DSO back in…? probably June, July, maybe august 05, 06?
It was at a place out here in the Boonies called Statebridge located right on the Colorado river, cool place!
We opened up for them on the main stage in the afternoon, and played again after them inside the old lodge.
The reason I got excited was there used to be video of us from the afternoon set. Someone had a multiple camera set up going and so there was good video. Alas, I’ve not seen it anywhere since? I thought maybe you found something?
Man that was a fun night!

PS: yeah, hang in there PT, that’s some horrible shit you’ve been through. Hope you get past this soon with no lingering affects. I think that’s the part I’m most scarred of, the long term shit…be well!

Jahrhundrert Halle - 2 thumbs up! Spinning the original release. A few songs missing, maybe pick those up later, but Keith gets his proper level in the mix.

Of all the E72 shows, I have probably listened to this one the most over years through the partial release in the 1990s of Hundred Year Hall and the full show when it was released. I missed out on the box when it first came out but this was the first individual show I purchased.
Anyway, it is still great, what is not to like.

It doesn't matter which year you are stuck in - but I feel sorry for anyone stuck in 2022. Time travel has always been a hobby.

dang sorry to hear about that. I mean real sorry.

I hope you can gain strength.

It is amazing how much healing the body can do. Relax, eat well, control blood sugar is the most important for healing, particularly when it comes to the immune system strength.

Been looking at this show for a while, 3/3/81, Cleveland Music Hall, but I am a sucker for March 81. Hey March 81, that would make a great box.
Okay, back to reality, let me know if this peaks anybody's interest?

It's got a Peggy-O. The Miller SBD and the Wagner Aud both sound very nice. My tomorrow is shaping up to be a train wreck but I can whittle my way through most of this tonight.

Jahrhunderthalle Halle was a blast, but I'm a sucker for Comes a Time. Google the venue (and Rheinhalle to for that matter). They both were clearly built by aliens with great taste in art and a great sense of humor, I mean.. the Dead playing at places like this.. get outa here.

Nice contet sir

Nothings resonating?
Probably just me? My mood is kinda meh in general today, didn’t sleep well etc.

4/29/80 was ok a couple days ago, but felt a little inconsistent to me? The pull wasn’t that good so that might of been part of it?
Couple of big flourishes though

Listened to parts of 4/26/72 which moved me, but not really feeling the Europe bug this year, which is funny being the 50th? Think I’m just really burn on early seventies?
Have been hitting at least the Dark Stars though, through that 4/29/72 beauty so far!

3/3/81 and 3/2/81: Aaawwight? . I’m a bit moody today so was hoping playing hookey and listening would bring me out of it

Which is to say, again, I liked these shows but they didn’t shake me up, the next level etc?
Hey, if nothing else more notches in the ole dead base!
Hang it up, and see what tomorrow brings?

Edit: great, already in a crappy mood and then had to fuck with recaptcha BS 7 times! Awesome!

Hey OB, sorry this one didn't do it for you.
I thought the recording was good but definitely not great. It seemed to be better in spots. Still enjoyed the show, Peggy O, China Rider, He's Gone, Lost Sailor SOC out of Drums was good, BP.

I will have to check out 3/2 as well at some point.

Really hoping for a different era box this year, we will see.
My LTTR box is already falling apart on the sides. I will say, this is the worst constructed box to date and the functionality isn't great either. Too hard to get the cases of the box. Yes, I do still listen to the actual CDs.

It’s a dead show, not like I had to eat glass or something ; )
Sometimes you eat the baaaarrr, sometimes the baaar eats you!
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you just feel your nuts.

And, hey, isn’t that why we listen? They all can’t be 5/8/77?

Like any interest in 10/21/73?

thanks for the kind words, again, you guys are the greatest.
Getting stronger every day, am now off O2 and breathing with ease. Still have copd, but can breath up to par now. Car goes in for repair 5-9, Dentist on 7-5 and no more Dr appointments scheduled until August. I was up on the roof yesterday cleaning off the leaves and cleaning out the gutters. I completed the task with only slight panting so I must be on the mend. I don't remember standing on a ladder being so painful to the front of the thighs, lol, got some muscles I haven't used in a while telling me that they are there and not use to all the attention.
Once again, thanks everyone Daverock, Gary, Oro, and all the rest, if I missed anyone, sorry, but thanks everyone just the same.
Last 5 or so:
GOGD 4-29-1980 First time at the Fox and First Lost Sailor>St. of Circumstance, not a barn burner, I guess you had to be there.
James Gang Rides again
America - First
Peter Gabriel OVO
Eric Clapton Another Ticket
Grand Funk Railroad - 1st (Red Album)
Grand Funk Railroad - Live (double lp)

Given your recent run of bad luck that was brave, going up on the roof ! Hats off for Grand Funk.
This Wembley RSD release is brilliant.

Hey rockers!!!

Pick of the day: April 17, 1969 Washington University

Came out of hibernation just long enough to post about this little gem. "New" Bear-Latvala-Eaton-Miller remaster just hit general circulation. Absolutely worth a listen.

Unless, of course, you DON'T like greasy spacey April 1969 Grateful Dead........

Rock on,

Doc
But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.......................

I'm always just a pm away...............

Rock on,

Doc
Each of us finds his unique vehicle for sharing with others his bit of wisdom.......
