....when our next door neighbor sunbathes topless in her backyard. Personally, I'm on the fence.

Thanks again to the “Joker Man”, you know who you are ; ) for continuing the joke of the day

Deadheadbrewer, are you talking about the Crimson, White and Indigo DVD? Does that have the full concert on it? Thanks.

Thought everyone was back on the Box thread.....duh! STOLTZY; careful dude! Hope your all good. And like Jim says, never either and glass! “There is nothing more depraved than a man during the height of an either binge” HST F&L (probably not verbatim) Dave’s etc; I’ve said before, I’ll say again.... It would be so easy if they annonced subscriptions, followed later by pre-sale for installment offered, added all those numbers up, then added X (few hundred or what not for people who can’t do now etc) THEN, Run production....all except the “extras” would be paid for in advance, all demand could be met, and they would end up with little or no overstock. Might mean having to wait longer between paying and receiving and, yes that would mean numbered would be essentially meaningless, but that would help keep resale prices down too. So folks like me who could/did not jump on the bandwagon early on could reasonably fill in collection gaps or wish lists..... Everyone would win......

Arguably the first post I have ever seen on here that is an apology. How refreshing! I am also sorry if my post seemed like a personal attack on you. It wasn't meant that way-I was just thinking of dreading's post-but it does look a bit dismissive of you. I have also worked as a manual labourer. I didn't last 5 minutes. I guess most of us make a contribution to society that is largely hidden. Sometimes even to ourselves. I for one would be sorry if you stopped posting on here.

I have learned that the peace of mind that comes from knowing whatever falls apart in my life during the year, my Dave's is Pre-Ordered for that year. When personal tragedies prevent me from checking my 3 mailboxes daily, I know that at least I have one Pick's and that's enough for me. The taper inside me loves to make HDCD copies and downloads for my DEW Crew buddies from that one order. I would recommend that any serious listener go back to the basics. Two 3 way stereo floor standing speakers, Two 250 watt amps, a killer preamp and Denon HDCD dual tray dubbing deck. It is so nice hearing Jerry's n Brent's vocals from right channel, B3-organ both channels, Bobby guitar left channel , Jerry right channel and drums image in center.

First off, sorry if I offended anyone. I won't be goaded into name calling here. I will take the obtuse comment in stride as I think it's fair; I hadn't considered someone making a living off of eBay. I shouldn't be so snarky, but I'm glad I got some of your attention. I'd like to back track a little bit and explain my frustration: There seems to be a problem every time one of these Dave's Picks are released. With every new volume we see posts on this board by folks who weren't able to grab one. Simultaneously we also see posts by people who claim they have extra or frequently buy multiple copies. The problem solver in me was only trying to suggest a solution that might fix this re-ocurring problem. I've realized that in fact we aren't able to police ourselves in this regard. However I do think If people only bought copies for themselves the problem would not be so severe (Sell out in a matter of minutes!). Disregard my earlier post. Instead, I can only politely ask everyone here be considerate moving forward. I don't mean to pass judgement on anyone who has dabbled in aftermarket sales. I was one of those folks who had to sell off shows from the 30 trips set, in order to afford the shows that I wanted. You can call me a hypocrite if you like. I did not however buy multiple boxes. (I remember reading a post on here about a guy who bought 10 boxes to flip...) I think a lot of the regulars here are aware of the good Doc and how valued he was as a member here. While I think he was a good dude for his contributions that doesn't mean I agree with all of his actions (flipping extra copies). Same goes for KeithFan, I hope you don't mind me calling you out. I think you are among one of the better voices on here and I hope to graduate soon from the school of complete Europe 72. I do disagree with buying multiple copies, and would argue/respectfully debate what value you get from collecting extra copies like baseball cards. But it is your right to do so, and I certainly won't stop you. dreading, I'm sorry you don't like your job. It's irrelevant, but I work in residential construction. I've been stuck on hot roofs in the middle of the summer, and I've been framing houses in the dead of winter. I bust my ass everyday and I like to come home and drink beer and listen to music. Being in the trenches of manual labor, It is hard for me to have sympathy for people who say they don't like their job. Work is hard, it is supposed to be, that's why it's called work. But I understand where you are coming from now and it's your right to go right back to business as usual. I've got a ton of respect for record store owners in this day & age. It sounds like a really cool job to me, but I'm sorry that you don't like it. Anyways, I seem to be in the minority here. I'll keep my mouth shut from now on. Best of luck to all of you

Speaking of the Vault of music and video being out of the hands of the Grateful Dead, the Dead's home-grown in-house music publisher, Ice Nine that was once headed by Alan Trist is now a part of Universal Music Publishing Group. Now Ice Nine Publishing is part of a much larger corporation, just a piece of paper. Gone are the days... https://www.universalmusic.com/universal-music-publishing-group-signs-w… The name Ice Nine is from Kurt Vonnegut's novel,"Cats Cradle" https://blog.littlehippie.com/the-grateful-deads-ice-nine-is-a-vonnegut…

Well -- nice to get an 80s - pretty good sound given a cassette master - but it was when they switch to DAT on betamax they had real problems I believe. First impressions from listening party: Vocals nice and upfront - maybe a little too much - but better than some SBDs where Jerry's voice can be quite subdued (I can think of some 77 releases where the vocals are not that prominent and you have to strain a little to hear them)! Yeh - audience patch at the start of Big Railroad - but nicely done. Phil's Bass nice in the mix. Jerry on fire for sure. God - I hate that 80s SBD drum sound -- sounds like cardboard boxes being hit - lol! I'll take Brent on keys over late 77/78 Keith (once he'd started using the Yamaha CP60 electric grand - which usually sounds very "plunky". Don't get me wrong - I think Keith was a wonderful accompanist up to about sometime in 77 - though I never really think he hit a solo of any great worthiness ever -- someone prove me wrong. Certainly sounds like a better Pick than the 80s Betty Board from Boulder ?? (can't remember number offhand)

Last call: I’m looking for new/like new vols. 1-23, have new vol. 27 if anyone interested. PM if so and please let me know which vols. you’re willing to trade and condition. Love this pick, btw, looking forward to it! Also, someone said dp28 will be post-Brent. I’m not sure, I’m thinking more like 76, but I think that would be excellent. Give us some choice 91 or 93, oh yeah! PS: Gone.
