    On tour, that is. My first attendance of "The King & I" in Knoxville for the matinee show this p.m. Sadly, a quick trip home ahead of Diego; and if you don't know who he is, just check the southeast quadrant on national weather radar. Yikes. We're forecast a foot in the next 12-16 hours. Nevertheless, brilliant show with the magnificent Angela Baumgarden as Anna; I was reduced to a teary state when she sang "Young Lovers" and its reprise. I appreciate the avoidance of historical recast within the parameters of contemporary political correctness versus expanded consciousness of universal human rights; indeed, the play's clear Asian stereotypes merely served to underscore their absurdity, as does Huck Finn, Heart of Darkness, etc. with regard to black people.

    Anyway, round trip soundtrack comprised Wobbler ("Hinterland"), Phideaux ("Seven"x2), and Riverside ("Out of Myself"); if you'd've told me 3 months ago that I'd be listening to a steady diet of modern Prog, I would've bet a paycheck that Mueller's first official filing wouldn't have indicted 45 for criminal activity - and been wrong on both counts. Great music being made in spades today. Of note: I had a derogatory post regarding Dylan deleted in the Christmas Album thread on SHF b/c it was declared a "threadcrap"; well, at least the last 4 letters of that rationale apply to BobbyD's X-mas release.

    So I arrived home Tuesday night - post a short biz trip - to find I'd played "chicken" with Amazon pricing ... and lost; back up to $120+. Volatile like crude oil, the price is down to an all-time low of $73.21 tonight (w/ a $10 Amazon coupon) so I pulled the trigger: No fool am I. Also just upgraded to the 6Cd Bootleg Series of the Basement Tapes 2 weeks ago (after living w/ the 2 disc release since Sept.'16 - and thinking w/ each listen, "this is some of the best music I've ever heard!"). Rhino & GDP are gonna have to compete hard for my $$$ during the 2019 blitz of 50-year anniversary releases; Dave better bring serious game to the table.... :)

    Like so many people, I've been on a quest for that original version forever, so I love this set. Although I have noticed, among my friends who have purchased it, that the Deadheads just put it on and let it run for hours and do the immersion thing, and the non-Deadheads go for particular tracks.

    $80.72 ... I may regret the pass here, but at this rate I'm convinced to hold out for Monday (edit: which it already is!).

    I'm still debating; a favourite album, but I'm concerned this will become a mere exhibit piece after the first pass or so - and I MUST stop accumulating those. Still, at $86.36 & free shipping on Amazon today, it's quite nearly irresistible.

    Tix on sale 11/30 ... I'm shooting for Chitown and Nola. Dang, but I wish Trey & Page would join the crew again.

    Weight your line so that your baithook is trolling at a depth of 19 years, you're looking to capture any Phish circa 12/99 (pending Big Cypress!). The sensible Millenial would simply subscribe to stream the band's vault for a set phee; but I do so love physical product. 12/16/99 arrived in the post-TGiving-post this a.m., and, Dear God, the 23+ min. opening-2nd set-salvo "Sand" constitutes some of the finest recorded improvisatory music of the late 20th century; then a brilliant 9+ minute "Mango" into perhaps my favourite musical tune, "Velvet Sea", then a mind-bending 'whale-call' session followed by an EPIC "Tweezer" (that reprises as an encore) , and concludes with the modern day country rock standard "Runaway Jim". That I've lived to see - and tour! - with such a band.

    Dig "Sand" (pt.I) starting at 27:58 in this comp:

    I s'pose it would be overly optimistic to say, 'order here', but I've heard some love - or a reasonable approximation thereof - 'round these parts:

    Gr8 News from Bear's Foundation

    My lack of interest in digital downloads, and displeasure with the curated single CD release of the ABB/Fillmore performances comprising the latest Sonic Journals' physical release, led to reluctant acceptance that I'd pass on official live material featuring Duane. But Tiggerbouncarific news from the responsive people @ OSF, who apparently underestimated public appetite for such a thing: a complete 3cd set of all available music from that run - that is, now combining the originally released single cd with the remaining material previously offered only by digital download.

    https://www.facebook.com/OwsleyStanleyFoundation/?__tn__=kC-R&eid=ARBAy…

    Also, this unique nugget: Some pre-Tuna Jorma & Jack, and quoting the same Facebook page -
    "We are almost ready to release the 3rd chapter of Bear's Sonic Journals: Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady, "Before We Were Them." We were hoping to celebrate this release this week with Hot Tuna at the Beacon Theater in New York on November 21, but it's not quite ready yet. The sonics and performance are stunning, and more than half of this show has never circulated on any tapes (we know because it took us 2 years to find the whole thing on unlabeled tapes in the vault). Just a few tweaks to go and we'll keep you posted on the launch date."

    Edit: Hi D! Incidentally, I went w/ Makita and now have an impressive set. I only wished I'd trusted those cordless 4.0ah/18v batteries with tools other than the drill & driver - they are absolute monster power sources!/K

    Sounded great (except for the cold temps). GIN?! Only one, Boodles, with Fever Tree Tonic.

    Glad you had fun.

...some new Duane from SBD masters? Yes sir, please. I've recently entered honeymoon periods with Radiohead, Rush, and - of all things, Doom Metal(?) - Khemmis, so Tuscaloosa and the RTR box still sit unmolested in shrinkwrap. That phenomenal cover for the ABB release would make a rich poster; as well, the bonus Mtn.Jam @ 45 min. from the Warehouse just eclipses that magnificent beast from Ludlow's.

Okay. On Monday, our very own NCDead summarily referenced a purported comment by Gans & Lambert about the next box set on their Sunday show "Tales from the Golden Road" (7/21). After I made inquiries in all the familiar e-places, this response was posted by well-known participant HighThyme in the Dead community over at SHF:

"During last week's Tales from the Golden Road, David Gans said he just got the email for the August 1 Meet-Up at the Movies featuring the 6/17/91 Giants Stadium show, which notes that David Lemieux will announce the upcoming box set during the intro, and Gary Lambert replied "Very good. And I think, and I think, it's related to, uh, that Giant, that Giants Stadium show may have some, uh, some role in that, but I'll say no more for now. I'll let Mr. Lemieux do the talkin'." So take what you will from that."

So there's that.

So, are we thinking this is going to be a 91 box? How many shows do think we will get?

Thanks for the info.

DV - I don't know. Later years open the possibility to multi-media releases, which apparently serve the multitude well, but I only managed half a show of the old "So Many Roads" box before shelving it … I simply can't watch my music (unless its live, of course). That said, it occurred to me that many might simply be playing DVD & Blu-ray releases through speakers w/out video; Summer & Fall '91 are sufficiently special that I'd bite and purchase a new player to shelve above my current CD & TT outfit. For ideas, I'd love to hear how people are playing audio only w/ A/V media. Lord, I've got stacks of DVDs & B-R discs purchased w/ expanded album editions that I've never touched: the Stones, the Tull reissues, et al.

Edit: Wouldn't it be grand if the PNW blueprint were used for a small-to-mid sized box that contemplated multiple years or tours circa '91? As I've said before, the single greatest personal revelation from 30T was the '91 - '95 contingent of shows; I didn't see those coming (esp. Salt Lake City...wow!).

Having reported in elsewhere, Aussie viewers have stated that the box reveal isn't a universal component of the 7pm local shows worldwide. I wonder in which time zone it'll kick in?

Edit: Well that quickly became moot. What a smashing day to be a Head with an expendable $160! I note that my confirmed order hit the in-box 38 minutes before the official email announcement.

The final decade shows in 30T were its greatest surprise, as was the epic 91 show in the Giant's Stadium box; plus that download series show from Pine Knob - fantastic stuff! So this live recreation of a proposed late-career studio effort - that clearly wasn't going to happen given that it took LG's herculean effort to keep the boys focused nearly 20 yrs earlier for Terrapin - is highly anticipated in my consumer demographic of one!

...would be an introduction to the "new release" thread on the IMWAN website to those who aren't familiar, which allowed me to effectively consolidate my regular internet searches for prospective new line-item debits on my credit card...

It doesn't catch everything, but it's consistently proven more comprehensive for rock-related releases than any other single source I've yet found.

Edit: anyone else been really digging Fear Inoculum since release? It was my intro to Tool and I've since scooped up the (admittedly limited) catalogue...remarkable stuff.

I'm lazy. I've been considering this for a couple years and am ready to get serious (which is about par for the course on my action curve!). So, I sat down to Discogs this past weekend. Umm. I started with the Dead and made it through '70 before my first scream; by December '72 I was disoriented to person, place, and time. Hours later I woke in a cold sweat realizing that it would take me 6.2 years to complete my collection.

Consequently, I'd love to know what you're using. I discovered an endorsement for Collecterz on SHF, and after doing a bit of reading and watching a few video tutorials, it looks really promising - I love the UPC scanner function and the ability to ID a release by putting the disc in the player. Anyone used this, either in download or cloudbased format? If you use something else, let me hear about it: the good, bad, and ugly! Thanks/K
