    Subject: setting me on fire

    left the orchestra section during ship of fools and arrived in the loge for the basso profundo MNS - it's the best of the tour so far, i think, and the balcony is shakin' to its raging outro leading. i sit to take a short break, too.

    yet another night of the first set seeming to spill over. first half of this second set is well-played, indeed, but the sugaree is the INSANE highlight, and keith and jerry are battling it out. one of the strongest estimateds of tour and i, for one, am happy for the FOTD break. the second half belongs to jerry - eyes is short but stellar and bridges to yet another rip-your-heart-out wharf rat, and NFA showcases some down in the weeds jamming. we're stomping and clapping and grinning our faces off, and then joint is jumping for sure as they close it down. another fine UJB encore sends me out the door, so very deeply in love with this band and its music. is there anything better than being a deadhead?

    Is there anything better than being a Dead Head when one of your favorite shows is officially released in its entirety? We'll double down on your sentiments WolfmansBrother, with DAVE'S PICK VOLUME 50: PALLADIUM, NEW YORK CITY, NY 5/3/77, and we'll bring the fire extinguisher to cool you off after you listen to Betty Cantor-Jackson's complete recording. Don't want the party to end? We'll stoke those embers with a few hot tracks from the first set of  5/4/77. Dave's Picks Subscribers score the monstrous second set from 5/4/77 featuring "Scarlet>Fire,"  "Terrapin," 'Playing In The Band," "Comes A Time," and more. Woowee!

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering.

    More Pipe Dreams

    Back in the day, you didn’t always have to buy ready-mades:

    In 1970, before my senior year in high school, I spent the summer at a biology program at UT Austin. After liberating a 250 ml Erlenmeyer distilling flask, a glass funnel, and some tubing from the lab I worked in, I picked up a round screen at Oat Willie’s, and, voilà, the sweetest ice-water-pipe was born. When taken on a roadtrip, it did tend to tip over in the floorboard and add it’s unique fragrance to the driving experience for a while. Lasted through several years of intensive use before it apparently jumped out of the backseat and smashed into a fond memory on the pavement.

    The next year as a freshman at Duke (missed 4/24/71 by about 5 months), my best friend Joe Frazer, a pole vaulter, had a 6-foot bong he’d made from a broken pole, corncob pipe head and duct tape. Not exactly compact like Lil Red, but holy shit!, one hit from that sucker’d take off the top of your head and then some. Ahh, those were the days.

    Ding-Dong the wicked Hay Now is dead (maybe)?

    It's also important, in my estimation, not get get hung up on complete shows or immaculate sound quality when considering future releases. Many great live recordings of all sorts of artists, from the 1960's and beyond are neither of those things, but they are still indispensible. Check out Magic Sam Live.

    Weighing the Anchor (news)

    Good gawd, people! No sooner had I finished mourning the demise of Anchor Steam - oh so tasty Anchor Steam - like it was a member of my family (which it was) when the news came that Bela Lugosi would start brewing it again!

    Very happy with that news, although I'm not sure I have the new owner's name right...

    Just back from paddling 40 miles on the Green River and seeing some amazing interaction between vultures and herons (nesting in adjacent trees; 2 herons, ~20 vultures) and an osprey with a fish in its talons dogged by an eagle, causing the osprey to drop the fish just yards from our pack rafts... Good sheet!!

    ForensicDoc: blessings on your wife's health.

    All the rest of you: blessings for the Jer 1974 photo musings. Some one had it right: those Oct '74 shows were mutli-track, so no DP for them. Which kinda points to a box, eh? (Just using my Canadian accent there....)

    The Good Doc is correct: there are many hot shows in the Vault. We get too hung up on shows with reputations and overlook by definition those that don't circulate.

    Put it this way: I'm offering to shut up forever if they just hand over the most recently discovered '68 tapes. Any takers??

    Love, HF

    Lil Red

    Was not the airplane bong of which you speak. I have to dig in a closet to get it, want to measure it precisely. Hope to grab it tomorrow. I know one thing, she has been a lil go-getter. Many the amount of pounds (?) she has pulled.

    Brought it out after appendix rupture because after I got back home and tried to pull one, I was using 15" bong cut down from 24". I had a chest tube inserted in the hospital (tube was out), so I should have known I couldnt do that. So brought out red and everything was fine. Used her several years. Then brought big boy out and could actually pull through him, so I changed back. But dang the number of people that have hit her, that doesnt sound right... When you try to clean her, she has ageless resin attached chemically to her.

    There was more to post, but short term memory beginning to struggle. Oh well, big boy come here. About to play second disk from the GDMOVIE!!!

    You know maybe she was one of those airplane bongs now that I think of it. Probably knowing my dumbass, was "what is this cap thing for?" Probably chunked it. But everything sounds right about the dimension. It has a solid 1" square for the base, and a little less than an inch in diameter. Rats, now this rabbit hole is costing time to search.

    stealth bong, checks out

    I had one of those stealth deals Oro

    For my friend and I it was our main bong in high school, simply bc our parents were on to us and would ruthlessly search our rooms. But this thing (just as you describe down to the dark red color) could be hidden almost anywhere. We were always together so we'd just leave it at one another's house. I'd tape it to the underside of my desk, he had an old stuffed animal and he put in in there.

    We used to put crushed ice into it bc if you used water you'd typically splash yourself on the lips, which was foul. We called it "The Monster" since 1) it was anything but (made us laugh) and also 2) from some stoned incident where we hid it and couldn't find it, then we finally found it, it fell from the top of some tall cabinet and scared us both.

    Also had a similar incident with getting surprised, this case by friend's mom. Just as he'd just taken the longest, biggest hit he could, she popped into the pool area. If she'd looked to the right she'd have seen him bong-flagrante, but she walked for long enough with turning her head that it allowed him to pick up the pool brush and hold 'the monster' in his other hand. He made like he was about to start cleaning the pool and when she did finally look over at us she never noticed the bong in his palm. I don't know how he held that hit in, she must have yammered at us for 45 seconds before finally biffing off

    Bust out the 2nd disk of the "Movie". Some great additional playin, think it is an hour and 1/2.

    Here is the official ban:

    The official letter, which was posted to social media, stated, “On April 20, 2024, you posted an Instagram video of yourself smoking inside the Sphere with the caption ‘first bong hit to ever be ripped in the @spherevegas @phish.’ You knowingly violated the guest code of conduct by visibly smoking inside the venue. Sphere Entertainment Co. will not tolerate actions that threaten the safety and security of our guests and employees.”

    After identifying the cause, the letter went on to list the venues where the individual is no longer welcome: “In light of your conduct, you are hereby indefinitely banned from Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, The Beacon Theatre, The Chicago Theatre, Sphere and any other MSG Venue (the ‘MSG Venues’). You are not to enter into or remain in any of the MSG venues at any time in the future. If you enter any of the MSG Venues, including, with respect to Madson Square Garden, the box office, Chase Square and the concierge areas, law enforcement will be contacted to ensure your expulsion and you will be subject to the penalties.”

Got my shipping notice AND the GarciaLive notice today--good day.

When this was announced, I pulled out the TATTS and Download Series releases from this tour. I haven't listened to many of the Spring '77 releases, so have been planning a serious go-though where I listen to the shows in order, one each month or so. The announcement of this release made me realize that it was time to do the go-through.

The shows from 4/25/77 and 4/30/77 are top-notch, so now I can absorb this release, then mosey through the entire Spring '77!

...received. It'll arrive when it arrives. I've learned over the years not to fret over delivery dates. 5/1 and 5/5 were my first two shows, so this is a perfect sandwich. Warming up with San Berdino 2/26 and Capitol Passaic 4/27.
The Lowell George tribute has been ordered.
Off to see Willie Nelson and Family with Asleep at the Wheel tonight.
This is the first of many geezer shows this season. More later.

I've never understood what people mean when they put up a blank post with a little dot in the middle of it. Adedhed's was the most recent. I get the impression the poster isn't happy about something - but what it actually means I have no idea.

Some time last year I got one on time, I guess I had my fill for a while. I really hope somebody gets one today.

Been pondering getting a customized license plate, various ideas (has to be maximum of seven letters):

1) MICRODT

2) DROPOUT

3) MKULTRA

4 TUNE-IN or TURN-ON

With 2 vehicles it might be good to use maybe tune-in and turn-on, or turn-on and dropout dot dot dot

I never could figure out why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame needed to exist. It's nice when, once in a while, a talented band or artist that's generally overlooked by the masses is inducted. Like say when the Stooges got in. But most of the time it's just "honoring" somebody who's already well known and already very rich already had plenty of honors.

It's certainly not about excellence, or influence. Gram Parsons isn't in there. Neither is King Crimson. Each has contributed recordings that are indisputable classics and launched entire genres of music.

And these days it's not even about rock and roll. Nothing against country or hip hop, but artists that excel in those genres don't belong in a rock hall of fame.

I wouldn't worry too much about DaP sales. If these were still limited edition runs of 12,000, they'd still sell out instantly. And reappear on the Bay for five times the list price. Fine with me if they take a year to sell out now.

But I do like the idea of revisiting some of the DiPs. I think it goes without saying the sound could be significantly improved over what was possible 25 years ago. Come on Powers That Be, make it happen!

Dot is all.

Always a good discussion, as of now (& subject to change)

1) GOGD
2) ABB
3) Yes
4) Rush
5) Pink Floyd
6) the Beatles
7) Phish
8) WsP
9) Little Feat
10) Genesis

Now listening pleasure is a different thing. Listen to 95% GOGD, or Jerry, sometimes Kingfish. Second would be ABB, third Phish, 4th Little Feat, fifth WsP.

That causes unnecessary brain fatigue. But, time to start the jams!

Wonder too, why Gram Parsons is not inducted, a pioneer.
But Madonna made it.
How is Rock 'N' Roll defined?
G.

Listen to GD 99% of the time.
Then Jerry.
Then a variety including Hendrix, Rush, Floyd, Feat, ABB, Who, Zep, Stones, etc.
A favorite that is underrated is Hard Working Americans.

I live 18 mins. from the RRHOF, and most here in CLE consider it a joke. I’ve been exactly once, when the special Grateful Dead exhibit was running. It was cool to see Dick’s reel to reel machine. It was years before the inductions were actually held in Cleveland. And the NY a-holes thought it was better to induct the home-town favorite NY bands like The Stooges and The Ramones before Rush and Motörhead. As Alex Lifeson said during his induction speech, “Blahblahblahblah…”. Silliness…
