    Who's up for a revolutionary evolutionary ride? DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 1/2/70 captures the Grateful Dead as they make their first foray from the experimental 60s into their early 70s acoustic Americana period. Yes, this one is a little bit country and a little bit (psychedelic) rock and roll.

    When the "Magnificent Seven" - Pigpen on percussion, T.C. on keys - first took the stage on 1/2/70, evidence was clear that the trip was about to take a turn. From their western wears to the twang in Jerry’s “broken-string blues,” it appeared they'd brought the Bakersfield sound to the Big Apple. They worked through much of what would become Workingman's Dead, stunning the crowd with laid-back numbers like "Uncle John's Band," "Casey Jones," and "Black Peter." Just the same, they satisfied 60s stalwarts with magical versions of "Dark Star," "St. Stephen," and "That's It For The Other One." Sonic alchemy, indeed!

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30: FILLMORE EAST, NEW YORK, ​New York 1/2/70 has been rounded out with a bit of 1/3/70 (the subscribers-only bonus disc features the bulk of 1/3/70). It was recorded by the great Owsley "Bear" Stanley and has been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 30 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    Last 5 and Stuff

    Took a little dead break over the weekend.
    Bob Marley - Exodus, definitely a classic album, spun me off on a recollection of a previous listen in days gone by with a now dead friend.
    Jane's Addiction - Ritual de lo Habitual, sometimes it just fits a mood.
    JGB - Eel River 6/10/89, currently my favorite show from the Eel River box.
    Sly & the Family Stone - There's a Riot Going On, been too long since I listened to this one, good stuff from start to finish.
    Peter Tosh - Bush Doctor, great album, and something cool about hearing the Mick Jagger vocals on (You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back.
    Currently started spinning the 5/9/77 Buffalo show from the GSTL box, probably the show I have listened to the most from that box. Sounds great so far.

    Interesting post by Thin, really a bummer to see the decline of the disc and the rise of streaming. I just can't get behind what seems like renting access to music or movies when I can own them outright on a disc. There is also the issue of data as I am in a location where my internet access is satellite only, with enough data each month to last me about two weeks without any streaming. No cable, as I long ago lost all interest in a monthly bill to watch television. I get a bunch of free channels over the air in high-def that provide me with an abundance of opportunities to waste time on TV, and anything that I really want to see from a pay service I can usually still find on disc. Also, hard for me to get behind hooking up a TV to the internet, seems a lot like the watchful video screens from Orwell's 1984 now that there are camera's and microphones in many smart TV's. The smart devices often just seem like an invitation for a giant corporation to spy on your day to day existence to better understand your interests and how to better market more products to you. So yeah, the demise of the disc is a bummer for me.

    DaP 30/next box/E72,Spring 77

    Hi All,
    I haven't commented in a while but I have been following along since the DaP 29 forum discussion. So first order of business is that I cant wait until DaP 30 arrives. I have never heard these shows so this is adding to my excitement. I think the bonus disc will give us just about everything from 1/3 that is not on the other 3 CDs. Dave has become very savvy about fitting as much as he can on the main release and on the bonus discs with copyright & royalties accounted for too. These DaP's with the bonus discs have really become like mini box sets.

    Second I am always happy with just about every release, box sets too. I am hoping that this years box set is from 69, or in keeping with anniversaries in decades, maybe some select shows from 79. I know this often comes up from many of us but I really would like get some new releases from Brent's rookie year. I feel that he inspired the band and the playing reflected that. Now I wouldn't complain about a Warfield box, but to me there are other 80s shows I wouldnt mind having out first. Maybe they save the Warfield box for next year - 40 year anniversary? In the end it doesn't matter as it's all good.

    Finally I have been neglecting E72 and Spring 77 shows during this anniversary time. I recently acquired the Spring 1990 TOO box and I have been giving those shows a good run. What a fantastic box set. Plus I have to admit I have revisited the PNW box as well. I suffered from the defective disc pandemic so that stunted my listening to those shows when it first came out.

    blu ray/dvd

    While it seems believable that most 20 year olds don't own dvd/blu ray players, it also seem unlikely that Dead are trying to sell products to people of that age group anyway. 20 years olds weren't even born when the band were functioning, so trying to aim for that market may well be futile.

    No, I would think, and I haven't seen a survey on the subject, that most of the people who buy music by The Dead are over 40. And people of that generation are more likely to favour older technology.

    Having said that, I don't watch Dead dvds, or any other dvds of live concerts for that matter, with the same regularity that I play records or cds.

    They did reissue Winterland 74 in BluRay.. I have both. Had to get the BluRay.

    I get the feeling there just isn't as much enthusiasm for GD DVD's/BluRay's in general. There must not be as much money in them. Still, I would like to see more.

    I fired up the John Deere.. Took some time to get it started, been a while.

    DVD/Blue Ray is Dead

    Folks, PLEASE stop the madness of asking for Blue Ray video reissues! They ain't gonna waste time, effort and resources reissuing existing videos into Blue Ray. It's not 2005 anymore. DVD/BlueRay players are in only 67% of homes, down from 73% IN JUST ONE YEAR (that's a MASSIVE hockey-stick statistical drop). Most 20-year olds don't buy 'em - hell, they don't even want cable much less clunky players and discs that scratch. (https://media.thinknum.com/articles/dvd-blu-ray-sales-tanking-as-stream…), and taking a blurry/grainy image from 40 years ago and hoping a 2nd round of digitization makes any noticeable difference form the first round is a fool's errand. It wouldn't sell.

    The Dead are interested in exciting new projects, not rehashing mediocre releases with video that will be twice as disappointing as the original grainy releases 20 years ago (since people weren't used to HDTV yet - we were still staring at clunky tube TV's).

    This is why I don't comment much anymore. I feel like I've said everything once already (twice, actually) - feels like Groundhog Day.

    Videos/ Box

    Hard to know for sure what Dave was referring to with other formats, but I too would love the idea of more DVD or Blu-ray.
    Good to see JiminMD back in the mix. Their last full show release on DVD was CW&I and to my eyes was the best to date. Looked better than the View from the Vault releases of the early 2000s. I still get chills when I see the Box of Rain and they sing the chorus. Reminds me of the Box they played at Alpine shortly after that. Was a dream of mine at the time to hear that one live.
    And for this year's box, I am starting to believe what others have mentioned that their has been a correlation with the RSD release and the box set. If this is the case bring on the Warfield Box, can't wait!

    Hi-Def Release of Apline, etc.

    I think the problem with all those 89/90 videos is how they were recorded. They were recorded by Len Dell'Amico on 4" magnetic video tape. Essentially high quality VHS tape. It was popular in the 80's, you can notice the same grainy look on all those low budget sitcoms that are in syndication, they look dated and grainy but nobody cares much because, well, we are talking about low budget 80's TV. We do care about the video of the good ole Grateful Dead, however.

    Upgrading to BluRay will not provide a video upgrade over a DVD because both medias are much higher quality than the capture of the source tape it was recorded on. You would get a sound upgrade though and better detail on the grainy source (which can in a way make it look worse).

    Anything recorded on film (The Grateful Dead Movie, Sunshine Daydream, perhaps Château d'Hérouville) can be greatly improved by bringing to bringing it to BluRay, that's where you see the improvements. You can magnify and enhance the hell out of film with good results so long as it was in focus. But film was and is expensive.

    I still want all this 89/90 stuff released.. I don't watch concert videos as often as I used to, but sometimes you just want concert time in the home theatre.

    That's my take.. bring on the 80's video but expect it to reflect the technology of the day. The video will still be grainy.

    As for E72.. I sad to admit I just finished 4/8. Perhaps there is time to catch up.

I have a habit of hitting these Europe '72 shows early, simply due to the fact of the days-long gaps that tend to exist between shows. These people were obviously enjoying themselves and taking it all in while they could in between venues. And I think it shows in the music.

4/26/72 aka Hundred Year Hall contributed to my habit today.

All I really have to say is that the Turn on Your Lovelight, Jerry's initial in-song jam, the very first one, is one of the best passages of the entire tour. He never comes up for a breath and the intensity is beyond palpable. You think they're done, after Bobby throws melodic machine-gun chords left and right with Garcia responding all over the place, but it keeps chugging and churning until your jaw is on the floor and you're holding it in both hands being all WTF?

And that's just the first little jam of the song. Don't even get me started on what happens after that. This was an all-time favorite the moment it was released as Hundred Year Hall way back when. I can still remember where I was listening to it for the very first time rightfully enhanced. Funny how these things will never leave you.

I first heard it in a car on the way to a Phish show (turned out to be a pretty good one, at least to me).
http://phish.com/tours/dates/fri-1995-10-27-wings-stadium/

I was collecting GD tapes at the time and this was a welcomed release (although I was hoping for the complete show), since I spent a lot of time listening to cassette hiss.

Nice Seinfeld reference.

..as to the other thing. It's not a problem for me, I can quit anytime. I just chose not to quit because I like it and it sounds good.

The more I think about it.. the more I Ark for it. If not now.. when? It just turned 50 a couple days ago. Three back to back Morning Dew's.

Relistened to 4/24 D.S., because I wanted to, not because I had to! Gulp....who am I kiddin’ Phewy!...that kick sss jam at the end you were referring to is where I felt that Throwing Stones vibe.....really subtle, just like part of one Jerry lick but?? Wouldn’t be the first lick/theme/vibe or whatever I’ve heard before that turned into something structured later...
Speaking of the jones’ big weekend; Hundred Year Hall, Dicks 26: 4/26&27/69, plus some 77 for those inclined...

Last 5: Dick's Picks Vol. 6 - 10/14/83 - Discs 2 and 3

Really, can't get enough of these gems! The S>F is out of this world... the "Spinach" Jam > Other One > Stella Blue... breathtaking! That Stella!!! So good!

Disc 1 (set 1) has some sound issues, but do not overlook discs 2 and 3!

Excited for DaP Vol. 30! Is the wolf the same one from the "Little Red Riding Wolf" release at Fillmore East (2-11-69)?

Can't stop thinking about what we may get for this year. In spite of having so much Dead music, I can't even come close to listening to all I want to each day. I had this same problem in the 80s. Except now we have the best quality dead, it is all so damn good!
And of course there is the prospect of getting more.
My guess based on past years is we will most likely have an announcement within the next 6 weeks!
Peace!

Too funny. I think we could fill up an entire forum with lost minds/lost vehicle stories. I have two.. Foxborough Stadium and downtown DC. DC was the scariest for me, spent till nearly dawn walking block after block searching parking garages.. It was daunting. aack! SimonRob might just have the best.

I'd like to think good times, but.. well.. not quite.

We are due a box announcement. I think they are just waiting for log rolling opportunities and carnivorous birds to congregate so Dave can do a seaside chat.

So far in 2019 we’ve had a 1977 show, then we will be getting a 1970 show with bonus and then 1969 material with aoxomoxoa reissue. Cannot remember Dave’s exact words from the volume 30 video but it sounds like 2019 will be a mixed bag of years. My money is on a box from 88-92. Peace

Oh yeah how could I forget Warfield 1980?!?!

Happy Friday all.
I've always thought that as far as studio playing, Jerry did his best work on guitar not with the Dead, but when he guested on other artists records, especially the Jeffersons
In that spirit, my last 5 songs this morning:

1. When I was a Boy I watched the Wolves Kantner/Slick/Starship
2. Your Mind has Left Your Body Kantner/Slick/Freiberg/Starship
3. Sketches of China Kantner/Slick/Freiberg/Starship
4. Million Kantner/Slick/Starship
5. Starship Kantner/Starship

Agree, although I like the some GD too (thinking Anthem, King Solomon's Marbles and Unbroken Chain for example.

I also like his Pedal Steel contributions with various artists, usually at Wally Heider Studio.

Interesting topic.

Edit: Looks like Sixtus and I were on the same page... Lots of Pedal Steel with NRPS too. Miss seeing those guys live. I think the David Nelson Band is playing tonight at Terrapin Crossroads. Wish I was there.. great band.

Haven't listened to this show since 1990 on cassette. I know everyone isn't a fan of the Martin Fierro and Joe Ellis tour, but I enjoy it's place in Grateful Dead history. I think this is one of the better sounding boards from this tour, along with William and Mary shows. If you have time to listen between Let it Grow and Stella Blue is a pretty unique jam, and it sounds like Phil (just a guess) is screaming non sense along with the horns. You also get a stand alone Eyes of the World. P.S. Phil says "Howard Cosell said that, after Long Strange Trip..... have a good weekend everyone.. bob t

Jerry also played in studio with Tom Fogerty, David Bromberg, Robert Hunter, Mickey Hart, Paul Pena, Peter Rowan, Warren Zevon, Country Joe McDonald, Pete Sears, Ken Nordine, Ornette Coleman, Bruce Hornsby, Bob Dylan, David Dawg Grisman, Sanjay Mishra and others.....

Edit: how could I forget Uncle Merl....some of that funky soul jazz stuff they did is some of my favorite JG of all time!
After Midnight etc, hell that whole Fire up Album is awesome!

Speaking of, haven’t had a chance to hear much of this tour. I know it gets slagged, but there must be at least some great stuff that’s useable from this run? I mean it was 73 and right before one of their best tours ever (fall/winter).
I had a tape of ?Buffalo? Way back when I was just getting onboard that I recall liking but some bastard stole it (David H). As I say I was a neophyte then so perhaps my perspective and/or memory is warped?
Curious to hear what all y’all know/think about that tour, especially those a “mature” 😉 enough to have been around then?

I had an unfortunate incident in Worcester Mass spring 87 where a friend and I scored some blotter supplement that was a bit too strong. By the middle of the 2nd set I became incredibly paranoid and feared I would never be able to find my car or my way home (New York). I unfortunately forced my friend to leave the show early. Thankfully we found my car and I drove about a block or two on a flat surface. I felt like I was driving into a deep ditch so I pulled over, shut the car and wisely decided to wait it out. Ended up calming down and jump starting a few people’s cars and vans. Finally at like 4 am I was able to operate my vehicle. We cruised down the Massachusetts Turnpike in the right lane at about 25 mph. Crazy night but I was at least able to find my way home.

He also played on "If I Could Only Remember My Name" (ironic that that one was forgotten) by David Crosby. Great guitar tone on "Cowboy Movie"-I assume its Jerry-Jorma Kaukonen also plays on the album. As ever with these cast of thousands S.F. albums I am never always sure who's doing what. "Blows Against The Empire" was always, and still is, for that matter, my favourite of these allstar collaborative albums.

Thumbs up for Television's Marquee Moon, too-both that and Adventure are great albums.

...so far, 77’ Daves Pick, 80’(Warfield) then 1970 Daves Pick, next the 1969 album 50th Anniversary release and then the ‘1966 vinyl’ release included in the “comic book series”(actually 2020 release) and then and then and then... ;)
This year the Grateful Dead are covering the most adverse releases to date besides the past release of the “30 TATS Boxset”... 2019 is and will continue to be a grateful year for us deadheads and the band as well! ‘What a long strange trip it’s been’ but I can’t help myself but to ‘Smile Smile Smile’!
Have a grateful Friday my brother & sisters, peace be with you all! Long live the Good Ol Grateful Dead.
PS- I love Jerry’s steel pedal guitar work with all the different bands he performed with over his career period but when it comes to the NRPS nobody even comes close to ‘Buddy Cages’ Playing/Performances, mr Cage is the man!!! Just my humble opinion folks.
🙏❤️😎
Rock On! 🤠✌️

I've been waiting for a clear block of time to spin the 4/24/72 Dusseldorf show, and this afternoon it arrived. Had a clear block of time to listen to the whole show without distractions and I am glad I waited. This is possibly my favorite show of the tour from start to finish. Somewhere around Good Lovin I settled into the couch, equidistant from the speakers and looking out my living room window across the valley to the Bitterroot mountains. Spent the entirety of Dark Star watching clouds glide down the face of the mountains and back up again, leaving behind what looked a lot like fresh snow at the higher elevations. Pretty much perfect visuals to accompany that spectacular Dark Star.

Liked the stories about losing cars and vans and stuff. I never lost my car while tripping, but I did lose my virginity while tripping, and that was way cool.

Blows against Empire is one of my favorite albums of all time, and hey, how many people get credited on an album as “spiritual Advisor”, especially for the likes of the Jeffersons!
Hell like Cousins said, Jerry always seemed to rise up on other folks albums. Maybe he didn’t feel the same pressure as if it was his own?
So as if he didn’t gift us enough amazing art elsewhere, we have all this incredible sideman stuff too!
Tanks big guy, we truly miss ya!

Not to bring up a sore subject, but if you are watching the Islanders/Hurricanes game, you must have just thrown your beer through the TV screen. Same location on the ice for a faceoff, an Islander high sticks a Cane. He goes down, but none of the refs see it. No penalty.

But wait. The Cane is bleeding. Double minor. NOT a major. Just like I posted a few days ago, that was always the standard when a player is cut and still seems to be.

Looks like an awesome festival set! The last performance of The Eleven. Don't understand why they dropped that one, such an awesome song that shows the brilliance and risk-taking of the Dead.

While I'm salivating over the 30th Pick arriving next week, I listened to it's immediate forebear over the last 2 days on my commute to and from work. Forgot what a great Pick it was. The Help> Slip in particular; it just thundered in my car. Great (and loud) sound on Betty's recording. Can't wait for Owsley's 49 year old recordings to hit my ,ailbox!

Traveling down the road doing 95 miles per hour. The radio's blasting and I'm passing cars faster and faster. Sixtus' Lovelight is on from 4/26/72. The sun is shining and it's occurred to me that this song is about sunshine. That's the love light. Probably not, but it works for now. And the Grateful Dead is jamming like the Allmans.

Couple of news flashes:

10/19/71 - Enter Mr. Godchaux. Uncle Gary sent me this one last year, and it is f****** outstanding. Sounds like it was recorded off the radio - loud audience presence that drives the excitement. You guys should be so lucky to get an Uncle Gary one day.

Check out Bombed at the Omni, 6/20/74 on archive. May need to search around for the best sounding one, but the second set is well worthwhile. UG, I hope you don't mind me borrowing this verbiage that I sent you last night: The Truckin' => Jam => Eyes of the World => Slipknot! => China Doll is fabulous. Jerry plays the opening of China Doll with some effect that's so thick and crystalline, it sounds like a 12 string, but I've never heard of him actually playing one. Then he solos with that really muddy distorted bluesy effect that you hear from time to time in '74 (Scarlet Begonias has it on DaP 17). But to hear a 5-minute Slipknot! in its infancy.....

Also 1st performances/debuts of:

1. Tennessee Jed
2. Jack Straw
3. Mexicali Blues
4. Comes A Time
5. One More Saturday Night
6. Ramble On Rose

At this point, every time they turned around they 'tripped' over a new (great?) song. 1971 was a most prolific year for the band.

That title reminds me of "Dozin' At The Knick". It gave me a chuckle. I've had this show on tape for many years then found a better copy on archive. Great one for release IMHO, but I think it might suffer the same indifference as Dave's 17, since there is no Dark Star or The Othe One. I believe there is still room for partial show compilations, Road Trips style. I believe there should be some random Road Trips releases. They could make it a ongoing thing, like one two and three From the Vault. No schedule, no expectations, just release stuff that doesn't add up to a full show. Like June 16th and 18th 1974. A couple of seconds sets, and we're off to the races.

...greetings to everyone on this grateful Sunday...hoping all my brothers & sisters are enjoying their last weekend in April... 🙏😎
* If anyone is Interested , I have a new/mint
“Bob Dylan - vinyl Mono Boxset” I’m looking to sell for my medical bills that are just pilling up week after week, so I continue to recieve the best medical/medicine has to offer. I’ve actually started last week on a new trial medical procedure that was performed on this past Tuesday at Englewood hospital...praying for positive results.
Here’s some info about the Dylan Mono Boxset...
Description:
This box collects Bob Dylan’s first eight 12-inch LPs, his albums from Bob Dylan in 1962 to John Wesley Harding in 1968, as most people heard them, as they were expected to be heard, and as most often they were meant to be heard: in mono. --- Greil Marcus, taken from the liner notes of Bob Dylan: The Original Mono Recordings

Bob Dylan’s first 8 studio albums pressed at RTI on the highest quality 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Also included are reproductions of the original LP artwork, including inner sleeve art and original inserts, all in heavyweight, wrapped jackets. Also includes beautiful 12x12” book with new liner notes, rare photos, memorabilia and more!
Cut from the Original Analog Mono Masters by George Marino at Sterling Sound: Each Disc Comes With Individual Jacket Replete with Original Artwork and Inserts

Includes Deluxe Booklet, 18" x 24" Poster, Rare Photos and Greil Marcus Essay

Bob Dylan’s The Original Mono Recordings is comprised of his first eight albums painstakingly reproduced from their first generation monaural mixes as the artist intended them to be heard: One channel of powerful sound, both direct and immediate. While stereo recordings had been available as early as the mid-1950s, mono was still the predominant, and often preferred, mode of recording and mixing by the top artists of the 1960s. As a result, artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylandevoted their attention to the mono mixes, leaving the stereo mixing process to studio engineers.

As is fitting for a box of this magnitude, The Original Mono Recordings are accompanied by a deluxe booklet, featuring vintage photographs of Bob Dylan and an expansive essay from renowned author and critic, and longtime Dylan aficionado, Greil Marcus. Each disc in the set comes in its own individual jacket which faithfully replicates the original album artwork, complete with labels and stickers that were found on the original 1960s releases.

Cut from the original analog mono masters by the legendary George Marino at Sterling Sound, this set is simply unprecedented, some of the most important and timeless music ever made, now in jaw-dropping sound that rivals what was heard in the studio control room.
"Those that own the hybrid stereo SACDs of some of the albums in this set are still in for a treat. Ditto those that have Sundazed’s mono LPs, which don’t claim the level of detail retrieval or sheer openness on these pressings, which come straight from the masters. Then, of course, there’s the meticulous replication of the labels and inserts, as well as the high-quality jackets, all reproduced with immaculate care. Not to be missed."
--Bob Gendron, TONEAudio, Issue 33

"During most of the ‘60s, mono was the preferred format, and Dylan and his engineers focused most of their energies on getting the mixes just right. That’s especially apparent on the classic “Blonde on Blonde” (1966). Though fans may prefer the sharper separation of the instruments on the stereo mixes, the mono versions get at the heart of Dylan’s rough and tumble sound, with the vocals in the midst of the instrumental fray rather than pushed out in front of it. The rockers especially sound more menacing than ever."
--Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

...here’s to everyone having a grateful Sunday, god bless & peace be with you all!

Hoping for the best.. and passing some good vibes your way.

I knew the mere whisper of Santa Fe would draw VGuy out. Plus.. it has a rockin' Cumberland Blues, what's not to like.

In truth.. I find '83 a little all over the place. I think of it like a old-time train, a steam engine that jumped the tracks and is rolling through town unbridled, unrestrained. I think of all the years in the 80's, 83 might have the most uneven recordings. Sometimes lots of audience pumped in (thinking Harrisburg PA for example), sometimes they are pretty clean and crisp (thinking Morgantown WV). Anyway.. an interesting year and to me the year Jerry's health issues became visible. Some of those shows are crackling with energy though.. I had fun in '83. '84 continued the unevenness, but there are some recordings that come through pretty clear. I tend to like '85 the most from this period. The summer tour was pretty even and solid and fall had some moments, Richmond comes to mind. I do recall being front row, Jerry side on 6/26/84 Merriweather Post Pavilion and they opened with Casey Jones. Keep in mind.. this was '84 and Interstate 95 from Miami to NY was paved with Colombian Cocaine (95 is about three miles East of Merriweather).. It was everywhere, it was high quality and it had become 'relatively' cheap (or at least cheaper because it had become very pure). There is little question in my mind why they opened with this and as raw and raunchy as this version was, the energy during the refrain was off the charts. They kept repeating it, it kept going on and on and each time with more intensity and enthusiasm. I am a little embarrassed to admit how much I enjoyed that moment with the understanding I think this is a terrible drug and ruined the lives of countless friends. But the building was shaking that Tuesday night.. This was the only time they opened with CJ post hiatus. It was not a great show, but it was a good show and the energy rolled out of the shed that night and into symphony woods and beyond.

Anyway.. it's in the low 40's here today and the rivers are full. I might take the day off though and get some cleaning and listening done. I need to get caught up my E72 adventure, I left on the DS from 4/14. Like Sixtus said, one of the gems from that tour.. it might not be the best but there certainly isn't one better...

Be good all, sending positive thoughts LMG. Play dead, happy Sunday.
