    Just like the singular Cornell, just like the one later called Sunshine Daydream, just like hallowed Hampton, DeKalb stands legend on its own as one of the most sensational performances the Grateful Dead ever did do. Early tape-trading circles earmarked the show as upper-echelon and when you have a listen, we're sure you'll be inclined to agree. The original reel-to-reel recordings have been shined and polished to perfection, showcasing mighty fine fret work, sparkling keys, and unparalleled harmonies. In fact, we can hardly pick favorites - from start to finish, there's just too much good stuff!

    Regarding Neil

    Is truly sad. I have been on a bit of a rush kick for several months after not really listening to since high school. Been getting a bit of Dead fatigue and Rush is basically polar opposite and forgot how much I loved them. Although spinning 2/28/69 so guess I'm not too fatigued...

    Stumbled on this quote from Neil Peart on Mickey Hart "I remember talking to Mickey Hart during our last tour," Neil continues. "I had written to him after having read his excellent book, Drumming On The Edge Of Magic. So he gave me a call and that's how we hooked up. Seeing the Grateful Dead was impressive, realizing just how much improvisation goes on at their shows. Mickey told me that some nights a Dead show is dull; the improvisational thing just won't get going. Yet on other nights it's just magical. It's a risk that the band takes every night, and their audience takes that chance too. I respect the band for having the courage to do that.”

    Amen!

    In Hiding

    Or mourning is more like it. A fellow dead Net post ER emailed me today. Of all the rock and roll deaths Neil peart's has really bummed me the fuck out. Aside from the Grateful Dead, which was an acquired taste that came a little bit later in life for me, despite my having seen them two times with Jerry, I basically had four primary favorite groups. The who came first, well actually kiss came 1st, but mind left body is probably the only character here who can appreciate how good kiss was considering how atrocious there lyrics were. Then there was rush and yes. For some reason Entwistle and Squires death did not affect me quite the way Neil peart's has. Can explain. I love them all the same. But anyway this was the 4th or 5th email I received asking where I've been. While I have just about every note they played on my phone, the Sirius Radio tribute was something special. Lots of interludes of interviews between songs, Etc I even ran into an old DJ used to call on either WMMR or wysp in Philadelphia, Earle Bailey. Rush was the most consistent touring band of the ones I mentioned. They really were like returning friends when we would go see them. My brother, my Buffalo cousin and me. Rush did not have have casual fans. I imagine they were like the Grateful Dead was prior to the Mega Dead eras that was ushered in by Touch of Grey. For all intents and purposes there were never any bands changes and they never fought amongst themselves. It was like the same 20000 people came to the Arenas every tour. You either got it or you weren't there. And they knew that and they knew us. The setlist and Stage shows got better and longer the older they got because unlike this dick heads Simmons and Stanley who were famous for saying the fans are there boss, despite a history of ripping off the fans, rush really did do it for us, and because they enjoyed what they were doing. They were our underground cult band, and they had no rival at what they did. Every writing band has its prime, and Rush had its share of mediocre songs past its prime, but they always had at least half an hour bh'em worth of solid Rush Tunes. And their final swan song in the studio was probably the best record they made since their only mistake in my humble opinion, which was firing Terry Brown they're producer for their first 10 albums, including the live ones. I kind of leave the first album out of the statistical and historical timeline because, let's face it, there's nobody on this planet I believe so John rutsey play drums at a rush concert.

    So that's where I've been. I got a 3 month free trial subscription for Sirius radio and have been enjoying the homage to Neil. I had barely listened to a note of anything other than the Grateful Dead since April of 2014, when I saw Sunshine Daydream on the Shelf at Barnes & Noble. I had about 12 to 15 Dead shows up until then, but only Cherry Picked what I felt were the better songs. Then Europe 72 came after Sunshine Daydream oh, that the days pics subscription, and so on. This is a rambler of a post sorry I'm in the car. But I've been back into the dead a little bit and quite frankly there's nothing like the other one from 1971.

    Dave's Picks 33 will sell out on or just before 1 February 2020. If not, shortly thereafter 1 February 2020. Sorta similar (but not exactly) to the first year of this series.
    I bought the 2020 subscription, I forgot I did and ordered a copy the other day.

    Funny enough the second disc into disc 3 is similar to DeKalb from the standpoint of setlist.

    Pretty nice rendition.
    First version played? Is this a new game? I'm in. Sugar Mags took a while to gain it's footing. The first few weren't very good. Same could be said for Picasso Moon. "Dammit Bobby!" - Hank Hill.

    Sixtus - First Time Played = Best Version-Slow Dog Noodle

    I also love that first Terrapin from 2-26-77.

    It has a unique melody in the Lady With A Fan solo, that's different from all the others played subsequently. In later versions, The LWAF solo was one where Garcia played essentially the same melody time after time, but not this one.

    My choice for first version played = best version would be the Wharf Rat from 2-18-71. To me, it has a tension (nerves?) and intensity in the vocal that's not quite as present in later versions.

    That Staxx 50th Anniversary is full of good stuff, I picked that up a while ago. Liked it so much that I picked up the Staxx Complete Singles Box Sets, Vol. 1, 2, & 3. A total of 28 discs spanning 1955-1975 and worth picking up if you dig that Staxx sound.

    Surprised this one hasn't sold out yet.

    Happy Friday Dead People

    Here’s what’s on my menu:

    Finishing up the newly released Widespread Panic Carbondale 2000 show on vinyl. This is one of my favorites from them and the vinyl pressing and sound quality elevate it to new levels.

    Also recently spun WSP Montreal 97, which also sounds great but had some skips.

    Love me some Thelonius Monk and recently picked up a nice used copy of Monk’s Dream.

    Warren Zevons new pressing of Excitable Boy sounds awesome and is glow in the dark...great for howlin at the moon while drinking beer!

    My biggest problem right now is that most of my pants shrunk over the holidaze. My wife says its all the beer I drink. Still trying to figure out WTF that has to do with my pants shrinking? I’m having a problem and she wants to talk about my alcoholism...ugh!

    It’s Friday so just popped opened a King Sue Double IPA from Topling Goliath in Decorah, IA. Big brother to my favorite beer Psuedo Sue which I found out is actually labeled a Pale Ale as opposed to an IPA....and this whole time I thought I was drinking an IPA, go figure....doesnt change my opinion though.

    Later tonight down to Knuckleheads to see my favorite Dead cover band The Schwag. Good drink, good smoke, great people and even better music. Jimmy Tebeau may not be the best fake Jerry, but he’s my favorite and he’s a bass player!

    Can’t wait, and then next week KCs on to the Super Bowl to play the 49ers of San Francisco, home to the GOGD...Sorry Bob, but if I have my way, you’ll be singing the blues next Monday!

    Be well freaks (Ain’t Life Grand?!)

    KCJ

    Edit: Love that article on bluegrass and Z Buds. I like that Billy Strings is right out front with it. I’m making efforts to do the same lately. Eff prohibition. For those interested Billy’s live streaming from Tippitinas for free tonight:

Anyone who, like me, has been to Bangladesh will be aware that the overriding "perfume" of Bangladesh is the smell of shit. A noseclip of the sort favoured by synchronized swimmers is a possible solution. The cheesy smile is not obligatory.

Why would an asian spammer trying to sell perfume consider dead.net to be a potentially lucrative market?

Could be the smell of Patchouli attracting the perfume peddlers. They think we are an easy target. Interesting enough, patchouli is species of plant which is derived from the “deadnettle” plant family. One can’t make this shit up!

And vguy...seeing that I already have some enamel pins. I think I will opt for the bolt condomns that I can wear with shorts. Oro is right...i look cool just thinking about it!

I got them old cosmic blues again. Darkstar, you are right on so many things, except some don't have a choice, and they are the ones who need the assistance the most.
I had a many paragraph post typed up for a response to your post, but I deleted it, as we all know, "it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world". This was said in a film that was released in 1942.
Shipping mailers, hey, anything to reduce cost, right? I don't expect there will be an increase in the production numbers next year for this series. I do expect a price increase soon tho.
I stand by my statement, may be the best show of 77, and it has a space too, short, but very sweet. I have not researched it but this could be one of the first jams actually labeled "space". I love to get lost in space. Space is the place. I had something on my mind, but I spaced. Some say some of my posts are just wasted space. I love it when Jerry goes out into space, more space please.

I can always use some new pint glasses and coffee cups.. especially insulated stainless steel and Tervis tumblers with a nice skull and roses on them or something.

My go to coffee mug is an insulated stainless steel Morning Brew mug.. but it is dented, old and the writing is beginning to chip off to become unrecognizable.

Maybe I will wrap the beat up mug in a the always stylish bolt-condom sock and give it a facelift.

Lots of twos. I bet this doesn't happen often. If you took the average, wouldn't it be 11/11/1111?

Spent the day yesterday with my supermodel ex girlfriend. I'm ok with being friends with benefits. This show is as good as I remembered.. but I still prefer the Swing over this and Cornell. I am also looking forward for #34.

I do like someone's previous comment, might have been IceCreamConeKid?? I forget.. something like Dekalb is a nice transition from 77 to 78 where they took the polished feel of Spring 77 and stretched the sound out as far as they could without completely jumping off the tracks whereas in 78 sometimes the train left the rails.

I can buy that. Was he playing Wolf or the Travis Bean for this show?

Edit: Or would the average be 01/01/1010?

Yes, Jim, I’ve been to NOLA on a hot, humid June day. There was a thunderstorm as my plane was approaching the airport. By the time I got to Bourbon Street about 2 hours later the sun was out and baking the place. The water was evaporating off the streets making it real humid. Water was draining out of trash dumpsters into the street, then getting heated by the sun and evaporating, filling the streets with Parfum de Landfill.

No, Jim, I did not write the description of 77>78.
But I don’t seeing anything wrong with playing on the edge.

Nice palindrome Jim.

DaP 33 has Space as a separate track, but Phil and Drums (about 3 mins) is included as St. Stephen. I may need to separate that when I put the show on my computer.

Okay, I know I said I wasn't doing scans of Dave's 33, but when #18988 got here AHEAD of schedule yesterday, I couldn't resist. Here's a link to all the Dave's covers I've done – scroll down to my corrected scan of Dave Kloc's artwork:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qx5j9ydoc7bzm8z/AAD8yK_vCv_kQ-oLkLJQVCEla?dl…

(And check out Kloc's website at https://www.davekloc.com/).

Just getting started, but from what I’ve heard so far, Dave's 33 really is going to be a face-melter. Hope I come back to reality in time for the kickoff! My bet's on a cool sixer of Deep Ellum IPA. . . Onward.

#14701 in the house and no skips or imperfections. Safely burned into iTunes. What an easygoing show with a great vibe, and the sound is delicious.

Getting prepped for our annual Super Bowl party. Wife out getting groceries and I have the absinthe station all set up.

Despite the Dead's connections to San Francisco, I'm going for the Chiefs myself. I consider Patrick Mahomes the best player on that field today, but he's going to have to step up big and toss at least 4 td's to get past the Niners.

My oldest son is wearing his San Fran jersey white side out to spite me. Ah, youth...

With 2/15/73!!! I know it is not a returned Betty but it is always like an old friend you haven't seen in a while. Once i start listening to it. especially Dark Star>Eyes, I'm always like why did i wait so long!!!

....equals super food. Fajitas, guac, margaritas are prepping. Mrs Vguy didn't want the Dead playing though. I asked her what do you feel like listening to? She said Journey. Admittedly, it has been a while since I've listened to them. Happy wife, happy life.

I could see 2/18/71 Capitol Theatre and 2/9/73 Maples Pavilion getting released soon. All those new songs.. and the slinky, bouncing, loping Eyes of the world. Might not be the best ever but might be just about the perfect time.

Anyway, random thought.. back to your regularly scheduled programming and absinthe consuming rituals (Louche??)

I like the idea of a 1969 diversion. Who keeps starting all these naughty rumors?

I listened to the October 29th 1977 show a few times on soundboard starting a couple of years ago after a particular regular poster here recommended it to me. Eyes of the World I recalled being one of the best from the post Hiatus era.

Listening to it now for the first time on the official release platform and really enjoying the sound. Jerry's coming through loud and clear, so much so I'm thinking it's the Wolf. I'm not sure at what point in Fall '77 he put down the Travis Bean - certainly by December as indicated in the Dick's Picks 10 liner notes, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what we're listening to here.

While I prefer Keith on the grand piano or Fender Rhodes, he's mixed pretty nicely on this one. He tends to come through a little bit hot on some of these Fall releases, but this is perfect (and much better than the synth-organ he was using in the April / early May timeframe - I'm thinking Polymoog - man that one drove me nuts - very prominent at Cornell). Actually, Keith did just get kind of loud on New Minglewood Blues, but he has it in Jazzy funk mode - not bad. Pretty sure it was a Yamaha. Also pretty sure he had no choice in the matter, just going by different articles I've read.

Yeah, so far so good....

for the "meet up at the movies" this year i don't think anyone would complain if it was in black and white as long as the show rocked!? plus is there anyway that you all can get the theaters to guarantee a certain volume? (george lucas does it) both years i've went we had to complain about it being down too low. The first year they turned it up and man that theater was rockin' we had people dancing everywhere, it was flippin' awesome! Last year they had it at med-low volume but wouldn't make any adjustment. dissapointing... i mean we're goin to see a concert. I don't just want to hear it I WANT TO FEEL IT!!!! My system at home get's louder than what it sounded like last year. So what's the point? I'm gonna try one more time but if they do that again this year it will be the last time i go. Please you guys, try and get them to understand that WE ARE GOING TO SEE A CONCERT! thanks!

My DaP 33 coming today. Can't wait for the weekend! Will be my first time hearing this show and gonna make it special occasion if you know what i mean. 😛 []🤏🏻

This is suppose to be "upper eshelon" so i want to see if dave really knows what he's talking about or he's just blowin more smoke. You guys think this one's worth a trip down memory lane? I mean every release that comes out he hypes to death, but i have a good feeling about this one. It's '77 so it can't be that bad, plus it's got space. You don't see space to much in '77 so... but, i mean, they're saying this is in the same league as cornell??! But to me that's what cornell was missing WAS space. Because If i was trying to turn someone on to the dead i mean cornell was an awesome show but no space! space to me is part of the whole grateful dead experience. I can remember back in the 90's when i got on the bus my buddy had a tape and when it went in to space we were just like whoooaaa! ;) kinda separated them from other bands. all good though.

Sorry, I was unable to comment over the weekend(received Dave's 33 Saturday!!). Only through disc 1 so far, but excellent in every way, and I agree that the Let It Grow is one of my favorite LIG's already(also love Dire Wolf & Ramble On Rose).
Regarding leaving a show early, in 1981, I took my then wife to see XTC at the Bayou in D.C. Their bus broke down on the NJ Turnpike, so the show started LATE. My (now EX) wife had to go to work early the next morning, so we left about 1/2 way through XTC's set.
Starting the next day, she was NEVER asked to accompany me to another concert. Problem solved.
Thank God I got to see them a 3rd time in MD just prior to the end of their touring days in 1982.
Looking forward to 2nd set tonight!!
