The unexpected return of the masters of the Grateful Dead's triumphant show at the Albuquerque Civic Auditorium, November 17, 1971, yields great rewards. The Dead came in HOT for their first New Mexico show. Aided by clarity and precision and abetted by confidence and focus, they finessed old standards with definitive takes. With Keith now blending in seamlessly on keys, the first set offered up a triple shot of electric Blues, an exceptional "You Win Again," and a stellar "One More Saturday Night" to wrap things up. And the second set, well, it might just be unlike any you've ever heard. Archivist David Lemieux urges you to turn it up and do it loudly. We won't dare spoil all the surprises, but pay special attention to the rippin' "Sugar Magnolia," the aggressively monstrous "The Other One," and the highly-danceable "Not Fade>GDTRFB>Not Fade." Rounding out the 3CDs, you'll find selections from Pigpen's return tour at Ann Arbor, MI, 12/14/71. Subscribers will get nearly all of the complete show as this year's bonus disc.
As always, Dave's Picks Volume 26 has been mastered to HDCD specs from the original analog tapes by Jeffrey Norman and is limited to 18,000 individually-numbered copies*.
*Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.
if the new box is what it seems to be
yahoo!!!
now hopefully there will be enough chance to order it before it sells out.
This is very VERY exciting news.
I doubt I will be able to afford the entire box but that 3 disc comp looks TASTY enough as it is! I am going to make up a playlist of those songs from those shows and add it onto my player that I take with me to work. Anyone else participate in this kind of malarkey when we get the advance updates?
This is the best news I have gotten in the past week.
while we wait...
While we wait for the boxset (which looks incredible), has anyone been checking out the Taper's Section lately? Worth checking out in case anyone missed out:
"Our first stop this week is in Kirkwood, MO, on 5/14/70, where we have this very unique, and excellent, jam featuring a whole pile of terrific Grateful Dead music: New Speedway Boogie > Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam> New Speedway Boogie > Saint Stephen > Not Fade Away > Turn On Your Lovelight."
the sirius show today was 4.5.71....
....can't help but think that that was a shout out to Doc.
Winner winner!!
I am currently 2000 feet below ground under a massive granite outcropping that is part of Cheyenne Mountain here in Colorado (i.e., NORAD).
Having entered this enormous lead-lined chamber through 2 sets of 25-ton blast doors, I am now firing up the Acme® 2000 Random Number Generator. It's powered by a 1968 1.5 HP Briggs and Stratton lawnmower engine to make it immune to any nuclear and/or EMP attacks.
Pulling the cord now...and again...and again...come on, you m$&h%#$7*@r, start! Ahh, there it is. A small cloud of pungent, unburned hydrocarbons and we're ready to go.
Entering the parameters now. And the winner is...(Billy drumroll)...(Mickey pounding The Beast)...

Congrats! Obviously, this morning's leak has rendered this whole music drop thing I had planned moot and largely pointless, but I'll still send Onthebussince77 a few goodies.
Carry on and get your credit card limits in order!
Box Set News
I, for one, find the new box set to be delightful news. Summer 1973 has yet to be represented on a single Dick's or Dave's, and this is a prime era that is in the highest possible demand. We all know about 6-22-73, but those other '73 shows are JUST AS GOOD. And, of course, one cannot say enough about the big jam on 5-19-74 (so I won't try!). I look forward to pre-ordering it once it becomes available. I may just purchase a second copy to show TBTB my undying gratitude and support.
Dave has really outdone himself this time.
Thankfully, the rumors of an early 80s set were unfounded (the tape quality just ain't there, man!).
It's probably a bit too early for a requests for 2019, but if you're listening Dave, I'd love a June 1976 set (or Fall '72!). Ah, listen to me, you know what you're doing!
Firing up Dave's Picks 21 in anticipation of this all-timer of a box!
BOX SET - Can't Wait
I can't wait! This set is going to be nothing short of a masterpiece :)
Well the key to this box will
Well the key to this box will be whether they have the sbd to fill in the gap in the 6/22/73 jam.
saw it on amazon.com and it
saw it on amazon.com and it just kinda smells like spincd.com shit to me.
Nice shows
Here is one of them http://www.gratefulseconds.com/2017/07/not-sleepless-in-seattle-uw-stud…
Box it Up; I think I'll Take This One
Was just listening to 8/6/74 today.
Tasty era.

"Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint!" (Nirvana)
jk
just anticipating complaints about the new box.
but I reeeeeeally don't know how anyone could complain about it _at all_.
I'll drive UberEats for the rest of my days to get the extra $$$ to pay for it.

....the 5.19.74 Portland China -> Rider is "smmmmmokin!"
Father's Day box set
Would be great if this box set is announced this week, being so close to Father's Day could work in my favor.
a quick plug
1st - box looks great, sound should be a very nice improvement over what I have in stock. Two of the six dates I seem to have decent audience, the other 4, okay. Looking forward. A quick hit of 6/26/73 Here Comes Sunshine had Phil sounding very up front.
The quick plug - just got in mail today a Frank Sinatra release. The family/foundation released 3 live shows from 66, 74 & 87. Nicely recorded, classic Frank. Was only 30 bucks.
Bolo, do tell
Please explain the Muppets SE7EN spoof.What is the connection to the potential new Box?
I say ‘potential’ since there has yet to be an official, internet-crashing announcement.
re: a quick plug/ Sinatra
Yet another late era Sinatra box set. Predictable set lists, shorter jams, and God knows who's on keyboard; we need a summer '52 box.
Wow - did I just beetlejuice the box set?
I've been trying to catch up for a while on the thread and was going to post my last three listens, but then I saw the news about Doc, so I sent him an email instead.
But back to my last three listens:
PNE 6/22/73
PNE 6/22/73
PNE 6/22/73
Psyched for some more 73 and my quest for the ultimate Here Comes Sunshine...
So, Captain Stupid and Captain Idiot meet in Singapore
Trump should have handed Kim copies of FW69, Eur72, SSDD, and GSTL; and then told him to spend the next 120 days listening to them, and then they would meet again to hold Furthur talks.It would serve Trump well to listen to those shows too.
yeah.... I think i'm gonna go
yeah.... I think i'm gonna go play with vguy's dogs too.
Lucee just took a crap in my son's room....
....at least it was solid. KINDA LIKE THAT LEAKED BOX ANNOUNCEMENT DONCHAKNOW!!
Icecrmcnkd
Why don't you go run for President. Show us all how smart you are.
I already did
By trying to spread enlightenment to both leaders through FW69, Eur72, SSDD, and GSTL.
a good career choice?
Politics as a career doesn't seem to appeal to people who are too smart. Unfortunately.
Nobody for President :)
I had the good fortune to meet Wavy Gravy at a book signing (one afternoon long ago...one _evening_, actually.)
ah, politics, a topic everyone loves.
Politics
People who are smart get into politics, but I would say that the vast majority of them are lacking any kind of moral compass and have severely underdeveloped understandings of ethical quandaries. I'd blame it on the parents.
I met Wavy a number of times at festivals on the East Coast (always Gathering of the Vibes as he was MC) and even got to spend some time with his pet trout that is always properly collared and leashed for public spaces.
Very kind man and always willing to chat for awhile, even think I ran into him at the Furthur show in Golden Gate Park a few years back, but those memories are definitely mostly composed out of the psychedelic ether.
Good Gravy
I saw Wavy in the shoe and boot section of REI in Berkeley once.
But alas, he had to go away empty handed, because they were all out of clown shoes.
Pacific NW Box Set
If this is true, than I am all in! There is some serious jamming throughout those shows!
Someone below mentioned that the set will contain one Dark Star and two The Other Ones. By my calculations, and if the shows are indeed 6/22 and 6/24/73 and 5/17, 5/19, and 5/21/74, then I only count one The Other One. However, I do see that we would be getting three, count em' THREE, Money Money's! That is something! (I just hope that doesn't mean that the set will cost 3 x's the Money Money it should...)
More leaks than the White House here in DeadLand :)
Peace
EDIT: Ah, I see I forgot 6/26/73 - There is the other The Other One :)
Disagreeable subjects
"The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions."Adlai Stevenson
I found that looking for this:
(D)uring one of his presidential campaigns a woman called out to him: "Governor, you have the vote of every thinking person!". He (supposedly) responded "That's not enough, madam, we need a majority!"
A bunch of quotes from this major figure in Mid-20th Century American politics can be found at https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Adlai_Stevenson .
Lots of Will Rodgers-esque humor and some lofty ideals pithily stated. Worth a read, I think.
"Unreason and anti-intellectualism abominate thought. Thinking implies disagreement; and disagreement implies nonconformity; and nonconformity implies heresy; and heresy implies disloyalty—so, obviously, thinking must be stopped. But shouting is not a substitute for thinking and reason is not the subversion but the salvation of freedom."
(same guy)
Re: Otis
I'm right there with you..
It makes sense on a lot of levels.. and I believe it's the first geographic centric box set that spans time and sets a precedent for potential Greek Boxes, MSG Boxes, Frost Boxes, Fox Boxes, BCT boxes etc.
Anyway.. they are some great shows here. I enjoyed the latest string of Dave's Picks from 73/74. This should be a step above.
Venue/location Boxes
Sounds like a good plan Jim.
Make it happen Dave.
Box Set and Vinyl
Are both up for pre-order jsut booked mine now!
box set ordered : )
Ordering was as smooth as silk - easiest ordering for a new release I've ever had by far on dead net. Thanks folks for getting that all ironed out!
Super super excited about this box! Good golly are we lucky!
Thank you Dave!!!!
That Was Fast
Man this box set dropped faster than ...than....than.... something fast. Like, yesterday it was just a glimmer in the eye and today its for reals. Looks nasty good.
Sixtus
easy to order
Yes, it was very easy for me to order, too. Last time I had to go into town to use the librarys computer-this time I could order from home. Fantastic looking release, too!
Smooooooth. . .
I guess now we can start complaining that online ordering has gotten tooooooo easy – before I knew it, I'd pulled the trigger on the box, the LPs, the 3CD set AND the t-shirt. Just too smoooooth. What was I thinking?
