Some would say this is a consequence of people's behaviour. Behaviour that could be modified. It looks as though if this doesn't happen....

Heard tonight's show would be one hour longer; if so, I'm guessing there might be a few guests.

....looking for a record breaker!!
Stop teasing me.
Peeps making a pilgrimage to Death Valley for a possible all time earth record.
Went to a AAA baseball game last night. Wasn't a big deal.
Two waters to one beer. Take notes.
There was an inside the park HR and someone stole home, which is always nice to see.
Phish is destroying the south btw. Go get em.
Been reading about fans passing out due to high humidity on top of 95 degrees, which would be somewhat acceptable if it rains.
4% humidity here.
There is a difference.
Btw. Ocean temps around FL is 90 degrees +. Not. Good.

Easy there Oroborous - As always, your enthusiasm is infectious. Still, if you read the reviews of the two soundboard options for 12/9/79 on the Archive, they're mostly 4 and 5 star comments – okay, njpg gives it one star because it's "stream only" – the soundboard gets a few nods too. I'm in. And maybe by not releasing only well-known primo shows before 4 - 4.5★ shows is a sign Dave has no plans to wind up Dave's Picks any time soon. He's been known to turn us on to some unexpected diamonds in the rough. Looks like Dave's 47 may be more than a placeholder.

I’m also looking forward to your 12/1/79 with its Gone>Gloria Jam>CC Rider some day too. Onward.

I’ve been watching the final SF shows. Pretty solid, only a little plodding, but so far I think the Boulder shows had more X factor fire? Bummed I didn’t do the Gorge, they look really good on paper? Anyone checked those out, curious how they were?
Gotta wonder what’s next? I don’t see these guys hanging up their R&R shows just yet….

Having just bought this epic 73 box, it would have to be something pretty amazing to get me to pay out for yet another Dead show so soon afterwards. This 79 show doesn't look like an essential one- so it's release actually suits me.

December 79 was hit and miss; last one was so so and the sound was muddy compared to the untampered-with original source. Easy to Love You in the 2nd set is a downer for me, too MOR in my opinion
On different note, how do you get Dead & Co livestream tonight? Last show, figured I'd check it out from the couch...

…After that last ok but certainly not top shelf pick from 79, or all hells gonna break loose.
Why, why does he do this? Now I’ve not heard 12/9/79 yet, but if you check out the posts here on DN, there aren’t any, ok 3, 2 “this was my first show…” Archive has more, but many are of the ok, not great vibe. Not definitive proof, but not a good sign either.
So why, when there are at least six shows I could name that would probably be as good or better. Numero uno…12/1/79!
FFS, sounds like another, Good Neighborhood, good street, wrong house….truly hope I’m wrong and it’s a blazer, but if not, he’s going to wreck 79, especially for those who are already were on the fence.
And you have to scratch your head about the big picture too: they’ve had a bit of a sales slump, wouldn’t a guaranteed Home Run be a smarter idea than yet another head scratcher? Just a thought, sorry to be Debbie Downer…

....nice!
