    "When it came to 1973 Dead, I was always drawn to the big second-set jams, 'Dark Star' or 'The Other One,' and all of the places those songs could go that year. One week during my initial stint with the Dead, Dick was spending a lot of time listening to 9/8/73, and he could not stop raving about it. He was very intent on pointing out that despite the absence of the 'Big Two' from 1973, every song, every solo, every moment was out-of-this-world excellent. He played me the first set, giving a play-by-play of each song and what made it special. In those listening sessions, Dick taught me a lot about how to listen critically and objectively. Of course, the subjective self always creeps in, those moments when you whoop and holler at how good a performance is, but that objective listening is critical. After many days of listening, Dick moved to other eras, as was his wont, since he carried the responsibility of selecting the best Dead shows from all eras to represent the Dead’s recorded legacy. But he made it clear and inarguable that he felt 9/8/73 was one of the best-played shows from one of the Dead’s best years." - David Lemieux

    Despite the gloriously blustering artwork above, the forecast for DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 38: NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, UNIONDALE, NY, 9/8/73 is blazing hot! With a double endorsement from archivists Dick Latvala and David Lemieux, you know it's a MUST HAVE. This one's got inspired playing from start to finish, with soon-to-be-minted Wake Of The Flood classics, a first-ever "Weather Report Suite," Keith polishing his chops on "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away," Jerry tapping into era-defining sound with his Wolf guitar, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention Bob's exquisite playing too.

    Among our 2021 Dave's Picks subscribers? The subscribers-only bonus disc featuring nearly an hour and a half from 9/7/73 is coming your way too. (P.S. there's 35 minutes of 9/7/73 on Dave's Picks Vol. 38, to boot)

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 38: NASSAU VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM, UNIONDALE, NY, 9/8/73 was recorded by Kidd Candelaro and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    And now back to our regularly scheduled DaP 39 discussion

    Or will that now take place in the St. Louis thread?

    I passed on the Giants Stadium box so I'd be very happy with a pick from the Vince/Bruce years. It has been some time since Dave gave us a show from '69 or '70, but I think he will hold on to shows from those years for subscriber bait in 2022 or 2023. We had two Brent picks last year. If we get one in 2021 I bet it will be from his early tenure with the band. What about Gainesville?

    Will we get a seaside chat first, or find out when we get our shipping notice? Just a few more days to go.

    Got to Admit I Did Not See This Coming

    Seven complete shows from 71, 72, and 73? Sold! Done and done. 71-73 is prime time, AFAIC, and I placed my order right away. Currently fighting the urge to also order the 2-lp thing. That would be an awesome Thing to Have, but my collection is already pretty out of control, so I try to avoid duplicating CD/lps.

    As long I’m posting, let me also mention the TTB’s recent release of “Layla Revisited”, which is (you guessed it) their recording of the Clapton classic. They did the whole album, live at LOCKN, with Tres sitting in on guitar/vox. I’m kind of ambivalent about concept: is this what rock bands are going to do now, just play the classics, like a string quartet giving us yet another recording of Mozart? And I’m guessing that, in normal times, this might not have been officially released, but Derek and Susan probably decided to put it out there to help make up for all the touring revenue they’ve lost during the pandemic, which I don’t begrudge them for at all. Like the Dead, they’ve got a big “family” of crew and band members to support. Anyway, it’s very well-recorded, everybody plays and sings great, and it’s interesting to hear these songs with a horn section. Derek’s solos alone are worth the price of admission, IMO. Anyway, heads up on this, all you TTB fans.

    We were all on the edge of our seats yesterday thanks to some of you sleuths. Man, I'm telling you, you guys really make these threads ground zero for all things Grateful Dead. I appreciate everyone who frequents this site!

    12-10-71 sure looks good to me.

    That's a long preorder period (3 months?) for a single 3-CD set. Maybe they use the preorder volume to guide their production run. Or maybe this is the breakout show from a late '71 box and the box will take time to put together (supply chain issues).

    I'll throw my hat in the ring that DP 39 will be '80s or '90s. And Dave will rave about it this Friday.

    A leaked "announcement" appears to be more powerful than yet another Dave rave....

    Hey rockers~~~

    In the last few years three December 71 shows were released (12/6, 7, 14). There will NOT be a December 71 box set THIS year.

    OK TPTB, prove me wrong!!!

    Rock on!

    12-10-71 has to be part of a December '71 box, yes? Lots of people seem to agree.

    That cover on Amazon, if it is the cover and not a pirated boot, looks like a segment of a box, signifying Pig's return.....

    Just to get ready, been listening to 12.1.71. Ramble on Rose through Cryptical Suite. Pristine stuff.

    Regarding DaP 39: 1969 or 1970

    They arrived, after a long hike, to a rolling estate of tombs, altars, dens, shops, and paved streets.

    A gnome, further up the path, dressed in train-engineer overalls wiped his brow with his cap and continued to hoe a small plot of rich dark soil; half of the raised flowerbed was lined with daisies and purple lilies.

    "What're you growing there?"

    "Box sets. They'll be ready to harvest in, oh....'bout a month or so. Being Dead means you must remain calm."

    "What's the vintage of the latest box? Hope it's a tasty one."

    He offered a wobbly Jack-o'-lantern grin. "Not at liberty to say. Big reveal's comin', though. Count on it."

    Dave's Picks 39 announcement?

    I don't remember getting an email about this forthcoming release and no announcement here on dead dot net. I was thinking that there was going to be an email sent out on July 16, but that didn't happen, or at least I didn't get one yet.
    Late, by my ideas.
    As of now, the DaP 39 show in question will be on September 19, 1995, in Boston Gardens, Boston, MA.
    Almost 3 hours of Boston Gardens commercial air conditioning noise, traffic sounds, train noise, dogs barking, indistinct very echoed human voices, and NO GRATEFUL DEAD music.

    My guess is an early 1970's show anytime from 1970 thru 1972.

Early subscribers also get a copy of Brent’s studio album which was recorded by recording over the Fall 1980 reels.

Remember when early subscribers to the GD Movie DVD release got a piece of film from one of the film reels that went to theaters?

Early subscribers to the 2022 Brent studio outtakes Box will get a piece of the tape from the Fall 1980 reels that were forever ruined……

I don't want to miss this once in a lifetime offering.

They would be wise to follow-up with a mini holiday box of all the Little Stars ever played. The Bob Star Christmas Box with a Bob Star holiday ornament for the top of the tree. A good follow-up to the garden gnome theme. The ornament would be a high quality painted porcelain miniature replica of the 80's bobby from the short shorts up. A must have for the holidays.
