    Sketty - Dave's Picks 33

    Great $0.02 - Enjoyable history lesson. I've had both those shows on tape for a quarter-century now... will have to pull them out to do the comparison of Jack Straws. Thanks!

    Daves Picks 33

    Uh, so, this Dekalb '77 show is somewhat legendary, and I read Dave's intro to it, and listened to Jack Straw with an open mind. As a Deadhead since the early mid-70's, who eventually migrated, landed, live, procreated in the promised land, aka Bay Area, and greater NorCal, I feel as though I have a pretty fair grasp of what an amazing GD performance entails, as I've seen these guys do their thing live around 300 times, with dozens of other Jerry Band, and various other related band member side shows under my belt, as well. This version of J Straw was pretty good, a couple of clunkers aside, and, I would certainly not judge the rest of the show from that fact, as I know that...pretty good can quickly turn amazing, but...I guess I'll have to listen to the entire tape of the show again, something not done in years. By comparison, the J Straw from New Haven Coliseum from May of that same year, a show which i attended, in my opinion included one of the greatest versions of this epic Bobby tune ever performed or recorded. Of course it was eventually released as part of Dick's Picks 25, which was very satisfying, and provided somewhat belated validation to the opinions of myself and friends that this was also an epic performance that ranks high in the pantheon of killer shows...including the many NYE shows, Greek and Warfield and Oakland Auditorium, and other shows I've seen from AK to MA. Parts of this show are, quite simply, some of the greatest music i've ever seen, and I've pretty much seen most great rock, blues, jazz artists who have performed live since...the mid-70's. I think a quick listening/comparison of...the two Jack Straws is warranted. I plan on playing both shows, back-to-back for comparison, and, while this is not a contest, I am interested in the sound, interplay/improvisational quality, and...the purity and quality of the individual songs, and how the whole coalesces. Hey, what better way to spend a rainy Winter Saturday afternoon. Don' answer that.
    As to the new site...So I'm having a little trouble figuring out where I should'a directed this 2-cents worth of opinion, as it just isn't clear what forum/forums pertain to what, or if there is a general comment forum, or...i dunno.
    I don't get to shows anymore(D&Co), though have made it to TxRoads a couple years ago to see Phil+ outside...a great venue! But...there is a lot of amazing, jamming, heartfelt music in r&r, blues, country/swing coming out'a NorCal these days, and...I often hear the influence of the solid ground and vast body of improvisational work "the boys"(sorry DJ) have laid down and pioneered for the past 50+ years. Hopefully, somewhere JG can hear, and is smiling. In that sense...The Dead will truly never die. Absolutely part of the collective musical cultural consciousness of their time, into the future. Yip.

    Is selling a Grateful Dead item allowed?

    Hi, I’m new to the site. Looks great, and I can’t wait to explore more. I have a question - are we allowed to post Grateful Dead items for sale on this page, and if so, what section? I have a Fisher Grateful Dead Mountain bike I would like to sell. Thanks in advance!

Hi all. Does anyone know where to get covers, poly or other, for the cardboard covered CD? I'm especially looking for ones for the multi-disc sets, Daves Picks, and the 50 year anniversary sets.

Can't wait for the American Beauty set.

welcome to our merry band...

Can't find my archived list of shows attended, wanted look it over. My account says no shows are listed. Ridiculous, I listed my shows with this website over a decade ago and listed 124 shows attended before 1995. Please
advise.

So, as nice as this forum is, I've got over 20 years on DeadNetCentral. And wouldn't you know, I just now decided to change my password using one of those password generators, and I am...shut out.

Can anyone lend a hand. I miss my Latvala's Corner!

HI Mary - I'm so sorry - I've tried since Dave's Picks 33 was released to fix this with customer service. I've been subscribing to the DP series since the beginning, always shipped to my work address at 1350 West St., Pittsfield MA, 01201. For some reason Dave's 33 was sent to "350 West Street" and never made it to me. I contacted customer service at the time (Feb 2020), they said it would be dealt with. Nothing for months. I contacted them again recently, they said sorry it would be sent. Today I got a shipping notice for it, but it says it's sent to my home address, which they also have wrong (even though it's my billing address - which also now appears wrong on the shipping notice). They have me in Cummington NJ but I live in Cummington MA. I sent them a note back today, but it's clear to me that I need more help. (To boot, Oct 29 '77 is one of my top five shows of '77 :) Any help is so appreciated thank you! -- Claney

Hi again Mary, I did just find what I think might be the contact for Dr. Rhino and will send the same note to that email. Not sure if that's what to do, but again thank you for any help you can provide. Just trying to describe the chain of events makes me sound like a crazy person...

Has anyone heard about whether or not this series will continue? 10 years is a great run, and one of the highlights to the Holidaze for me.

Peace

High-Ho! Still looking for other compulsive vinyl completists to share notes and "myths" of existing rarities. Discography section, ("Coming Soon"...), has been barren for ever. Anyone have any info to share on:
- Bob Weir - "Cassidy"/"One More Saturday Night" WB US STOCK Copy?
- Diga Rhythm Band - "Happiness is Drumming"/ "Razooli" - 7" single?
- "Anthem of the Sun" WB 7" Radio Spots?
A 40-Year collection, and a few "ugly rumors" of unknowns still exist. Info & photos welcome! - Way Out West

HI, Is there a way to search for and reach out to registered users? Im trying to contact someone who recently won 30 days of dead, because they live in the same small town as me.

I still miss Jerry... The Dead sang at several Giants games over the years.
I first saw the Dead (at the Fillmore) in 1966...and continued to enjoy them till 1995.
They never disappointed their fans.
We still go to Dead & Co when they are in the Bay Area ...and they never disappoint.

As a foreigner from Europe I've noticed that Grateful Dead has a very large fanbase of Trumpers especially from the red states of America. This is confusing, I'm sure the late Jerry would not approve such fascism or would he?

Thanks for any replies.

It's not unusual in America to see a pickup-truck with a Maga and GD bumper sticker. I have never liked the Dead and their redneck/hillbilly followers.

HI there,
I am new here. Nice to e-meet you ya'll.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have this book called: THE COMPLETE ANNOTATED GRATEFUL DEAD LYRICS - 2007(PAPERBACK). If anyone in Oz is interested please make contact.
Regards
The Biting Flea

Hey Now Flea,

Yeah, I had box of rain with the C.D. on top of it! I decided to act upon the wordz in the song, so I left it where it was at and passed it on to the next person. Someone out there is listening to Hunter(live 1990) with a bonus C.D. to go with the lyrics written in the book. As it's been said the songs are about people...Though I'm wondering who said "I'm a loving man" to give Pig Pen a moment towards your book with lyrics. You won't find everything written within the cover...or will you? You decide...not everything is written..and everything sung has yet to be discovered. Well welcome, welcome. It .... "seldom turns out the way it does in a song," yet "once in a while you get shown the light>>>>In the strangest of places if you look at it right." It would be really cool if someone in the vault woke up and found some early vintage stuff while the bussss was rolling along La Honda :) Well, Flea I hope you find some magic written in your book. I know I have enjoyed this roller coaster ride all these years, as there's some alligator outside my door someplace waiting for a snappy biting tune to wake him up. "And we bid you goodnight" Peace, JiMi

It is absolutely outrageous that Dead and Company would push the covid vaccine on its fans. The vaccine has killed 10s of 1000s of people, is experimental and untested, is not a real vaccine and u have a much greater chance of dying from the vaccine than from covid. It is outrageous and reckless and will kill deadheads. U r not doctors or scientists. Watch this video and wake up and immediately remove any vaccine policy to see ur shows and save lives:
