Grateful Dead

I did attend Watkins Glen, close up on Jer's side. Caught the soundcheck lying on my sleeping bag, head resting on a gallon jug of cool water, tripping my 15-yr-old ass off on mescaline and LSD and some weird opiate nicknamed Numero Uno. Good weather. Had fun.

Understated..

love it, wish I was there.

Is it not showing up at the $99.98 price for anyone else?
I keep getting the $115 for the presale price when it says it should be $99.98

The $99.98 is for the Early Bird pricing, it ended on Nov. 11th. The $115 is what it costs for the subscription now.

I've been emailing customer service for a month with questions about the 2021 Dave's picks subscription and supposedly free shipping. All I receive back is a generic response

"Thank you for contacting Dead.net customer service.

Has anyone received an actual answer to a customer service inquiry?

Was free shipping included in that offer? It is still advertised for the regular price sub, but I was charged shipping anyway.

Marye, I'm looking to see how to send you a PM but no luck yet.

Wolf.. while you are logged in, from most forms in dead.net on the upper right hand corner of the screen in your user icon. To the right of that is a drop down arrow. When you click that arrow you get an option that says "message" This should bring you to a place where you can send personal messages. Then select "Write Message" and you should be up and running.

where is this quote from?

Hi Carlo,

There's a nice article on the deadessays website that catalogues all the pre-1974 video material: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2009/08/pre-74-dead-films.html

TLDR version: there's more than you might think, but it's bits and pieces: a song here, another part of a song there, some of it synced to the video some not. Certainly no complete pre-'70 shows, with the possible exception of Woodstock, and I think we all know why that hasn't been put out.

Personally, I think the Woodstock video is worthwhile if only for the comedy: that part where some rando, tripping balls, grabs the mic during Lovelight and proceeds to lay upon the audience what in his mind is apparently a brilliant epic poem but which to earthbound ears sounds like rambling nonsense about a "third coast." Blows my mind that, to this day, nobody has ever figured out who the guy was. Eventually, Ken Babbs waves a joint in front of the guy's face and wanders off with Ken, and Pigpen resumes command. But what a weird moment. Hilarious, if you're in the right mind.

Thanks for the cool site of vids of pre-70s shows. The viola lee 6/18/67 from Monterey pop is great. I ordered the criterion complete Monterey pop fest last week and it should arrive soon. I'm glad they decided to include the viola on this edition. Thanks again, crow. P.S.- thanks proudfoot for the 68' columbia U search. I was 1 month old on this date.

Jerry Garcia

Hey, was reading your post about early video.

When you get that Criterion Collection will you confirm if the GD Viola Lee is on there?

I'd appreciate it, I've got Jimi, Otis & Monterey Expanded. But curious what's new about this collection.

What's been released is Great, the audio commentary and interviews, are fascinating.

Got it. Thank you.

CD marked 7/1/66
GD
then
some old old old Jerry n pals with Jerry on banjo

Well, it looks like that new Jerry print "Stella Blue" sold out in about three minutes flat! I haven't seen a frenzy like this since the Europe '72 big box. Anybody out there lucky enough to snag one?

I will let you know for sure about that criterion Monterey pop viola lee as soon as it arrives.

....whelp. Not me.
I've got 4 or 5 prints to frame still.

Jerry stella blue print?

PROUDFOOT

There was an email yesterday from the Jerry Garcia site offering a limited edition print. Presumably it sold out quickly.

Can I say that to paraphrase a great song I’ve got Georgia on my mind. Thanks to everyone who voted.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-DFhuE_XeT8. I saw Ray Charles play 3 times and he always put on a great show.

Saw him just once live.. an amazingly talented artist, it was a great show.

Thanks Man, I appreciate it!

I know what has been released is a great collection and Monterey Pop has always been a fascination of mine.

One of my fav's... I was so happy when they started playing it again and I finally got to see it live.

:)))

Just so we agree this is a completely apolitical forum where we never mention or discuss polly ticks.

Just say: "Georgia" or, alternately, "Ray Charles."

Hallelujah!

"God is love
Love is blind
Ray Charles is blind
therefore, Ray Charles is God"

They used to say that if a woman wanted to become a Ray-lette, she had to let Ray.....

Hand of God or total creeps-ville?

Let's make that a rhetorical question!

Wow.

Posting from UK any idea what cost is for postage to here? Imagining customs will sting badly!

From memory late last year when I ordered the early bird subscription the charge for postage to the UK was c. $12.99. For the 2020 deliveries I was charged c. £4 VAT and £8 Royal Mail handling charge on two of the four deliveries. Of course, the UK rules have changed since 1st January so dead.net are supposed to charge the VAT up front and then hand it over to the UK tax authorities. I have no idea if they are doing this because I haven’t ordered anything this year yet. If the VAT is charged up front then there should be no Royal Mail handling charges. If you want the 2021 discs then I suggest you start the order process and see what extra charges are added. You can always choose not to complete the order if it looks to be too expensive. If you do this please let us know what happens since I’d be interested to know before my next box set order, not that it will stop me ordering. The current anarchy in the US might interfere with the ordering procedure if the country goes up in flames :))

bizarre

low point

double post

the GD get me through difficult times

"feelin' groovy
looking fine"

Antidote for today: DaP 13..."whatever is happening in the world wars, kidnapping...this is a peaceful Sunday with the Grateful Dead"
Followed by American Beauty

:)))

On the Mall at the Clinton Inauguration concert in January ‘93. “America the Beautiful.” It was sublime.

But As Lou Reed sang: “Those were different times.”

American Beauty is in my opinion their most spiritual album, it has a soothing, calming quality, that even my non-Deadhead wife understands.
Switching tv off and listening to the first bars of Box of Rain was the best remedy for today's depressing events.

Every year people come on and ask why the subscription button doesn’t work. This is because they have missed the deadline. If you want to subscribe for the 2021 DaP series then you have until 11:59PM PST Friday 8th January. If you want the subscription then don’t delay. You have the option to try to buy only those discs that interest you and given the higher number being produced these days you should have at least a couple of days to place the order, but there are no guarantees.
RECENT LISTENS
I have been slowly working my way through the Bear Family ‘Truckers, Kickers Cowboy Angels’ compilations only interrupted by the Ali Akbar Khan release by Bears Sonic Journals. The only disappointment I’ve had with the compilations is that the 1969 set is only one disc so they haven’t included any tracks from ‘California Bloodlines’ by John Stewart. I’ll have to find my cd and play it all! While I’m doing that I’ll find my Townes van Zandt discs as well since the compilations have reminded me how good he can be.
Only 3 weeks to the release of DaP #37 and let’s hope for a box set announcement real soon. Stay safe. Stay healthy and try to hang around for the bounty to come.

May you live in interesting times...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5OJEMbuh3YQ. This song really swings.

After listening to the recent Garcia Live, which I love, I decided to listen to something else from the same area. Chose 9-24-71, my version of which has filler from 12-28-72 that happens to be Expressway >spacey jam > instrumental Georgia on My Mind. Not as polished as it could be, but certainly beautiful. Would have loved to hear Garcia signing on this, but don't believe he ever did. Anyway, check it out.

...10/12/68 & 10/20/68. So greasy I had to wash my hands. Twice!!

The song: "Let's Go Get Stoned"

Just sayin'..........

Edit: Right on, Mr. Ones! That's the (greasy) spirit.

This is from the 2017 50th anniversary criterion complete Monterey pop fest version with a huge improvement in sound and visual clarity from the last one you have. https://youtu.be/9IFifxmhX0k. P.S.-this clip is cut by four minutes for some reason but the one on the 50th is 15 minutes long. The same video but longer.

I zipped you a pm

yowzah. Bobby getting testy.

"nice work, Dan".

"take a step back...move back"

angry Jack Straw, indeed.
