    ....but the liquor was clean

    One of the all time great Hunter/Garcia Americana songs.

    I wasn't alive in the 20's, but when I hear those opening notes.. I am there helping cut through the hickory knots with a dull axe, stacking wood to fire the still. Instantly transported in time and space. Isn't that what music is supposed to do?

    Raised 8 boys only I turned bad.

    ....spirits talk. Absinte was an.......interesting one. A little goes a long way. Careful with that axe Eugene. Ordered my bottle from Germany. This bottle will last a while. Tequila? Stayed off that stuff for a very long time due to it causing black outs and wondering to myself how I got somewhere. Not good. Love margaritas though. You definitely get what you pay for when it come to the agave though. Cheap tastes cheap. Scotch? No thanks. I'm good. Whisky? Can only handle Makers Mark. Vodka? Neutral. Gin? Meh. Rum? Sailor Jerry is my personal fave. Love wine. Red please. In the end I'm i beer guy, but I've been known to dabble.

    Just received my Boston Music Hall 12/2/71 set from Amazon UK. So nice to have something new (for me at least) from a year I love.
    The performance is quite sloppy, particularly at the start of set 1. But as per usual, the boys get it together. There is nothing exceptional or overly special about this show, I just love hearing stuff for the first time. Only 2/3 through set 1, so I may change my mind. A small number of radio tags (including at least 1 during a song intro).
    Not too intrusive, the sound is board, as far as I can tell. A steal at 12 quid(plus shipping-around $24.00 I believe). Keith is right up in the mix, and sounds into it. Still waiting for Farewell Cream box-3/6 I think.
    I hope Y'all are enjoying a Tuesday evening, scotch, beer or whatever.

    No hard feelings, at the root of my comment was simply that we don't know what box set(s) are yet, they have not been announced. Yet your comment was quite definitive.

    The 68 show you speak of (Origins) is four songs from a single show (8/21/68) more like a bonus disc for the book. Not the sort of box set we were expecting to be discussed..

    It just seemed like you were getting a bit ahead of your skis.

    1985 & Scotch

    I was just browsing through the comments and synchronicity hit me twice: First I am seeing a lot of references to 1985 shows. I am finding myself more and more into shows from that year. Part of it has to do with the fact that many of you not only recommend those shows but many of you also saw shows in that year. I always trust the recommendations from the Jedi Masters on these comment pages. I have griwung a desire to take a deep dive into the archive for 85 shows and I think I may just get that soon. Hey how about 1985 box?

    Switching gears I am currently unsupervised - my lovely better half is out of town on business. Given my temporary freedom (if you want to call it that), I am drinking a nice glass of scotch. I saw scotch mentioned in the comments and it is a spirit that I was only introduced to about a year and half ago. No doubt it is pricey- especially when it has been aged for a long time. I recently caught a documentary on Netflix on how scotch is made. The people that make it have such a passion, which is to be expected. Along with emphasizing the whole process, special emphasis is placed on the cask that is used to age it and then the amount if time it is aged. I am fascinated by this as I always associated this with just wine. Well with scotch it is all the rage as some folks may say. Scotch aged 10 years is like basic, 12 years is mid grade and then 14 years is the high end. Of course there varieties aged longer. Price goes up with each as would be imagined. That 14 year aged scotch sits at the $80 price range per bottle as an average from what I have seen. Then are things like the Johnny Walker Blue label (not sure how long that is aged) that goes for $238 a bottle. For me I like 12 years and when i splurge I go with a 14 year. My favorite thus far is Glemorangie. My lovely better half has suggested that we go on a tour of the many distilleries in Scotland that make this stuff. Particularly there is an island that has many of them located on it. I sense good times and shenanigans in my future.

    I think the name on your lips was Sarah Fulcher. I thought she was spot on for my taste. I think the song was on the first cd, the system(?),,, remember when I got though how her vocals were great. I think Tony the Tiger had the same opinion.

    Re: Allmans

    Daverock -

    Thanks for the post about the Feb 70 run at the Fillmore. I jumped in the truck this morning about 7:25 with Sirius and TIGDH going and entered right into a monster Lovelight. It was evident right off the bat that the Allmans were on stage and doing their magic. Really love this jam - just brings a new angle to the already great tune.

    Never got to the close of the song as my drive ended, so I hustled back this evening and got my ass back in the truck right on time for the evening airing of TIGDH. For those of you who don't listen to this show, Dave always plays music from that day (plus or minus) gives a nice chat about the show, the tour, the music hall, stories about his mom driving him to Hartford, Conn for his first shows, etc. etc. etc. What I didn't realize until today was the 2.13.70 and 2.14.70 shows which made Bear's Choice were on 2 track. Pretty cool that way back in the 70's when Bear's Choice came out it was recorded on the same 2-track that we're getting all these DiP and DaP. I would have assumed the record label guys would have never allowed that back then and would have insisted on multitrack.

    Anyway, I was able to listen to almost all of the Dark Star / Lovelight tonight on my drive home (and some driveway time). Love hearing new takes on songs especially when they turn into epic monster jams like 2.11.70.

    The different feel / sounds is probably why I immediately loved Garcia Live 12. The female singer (blanking on her name) takes over a bunch of songs and kills it. Yah - I know... many commented she was just screaming just like Donna - but given I like Donna it worked well for me.

    Seeing Donna with Dead & Co at Fenway back in summer of '17 (correct me if I'm wrong - maybe '16??) was pretty cool. No she didn't bring too much to the music but cool to she her on stage.

    Cheers

    ... I’m really confused . I’m not posting fake posts about anything Grateful Dead or any other band or matter gentlemen. I’m just repeating what the Grateful Dead the band themselves releasing statements / announcements to the public & typical media outlets
    The first boxset for 2020, was officially announced this past summer some date I can’t remember recall off the top of my head as I write this post. The boxset includes Un unreleased recording from 1968. The boxset is ‘origins’ and the medium is a vinyl record. You can order here on this website folks. It’s in the music section or special editions in the dead.net Store...
    *”” This limited edition 9x15 oversized book comes packaged with an 12” LP of previously unreleased Grateful Dead music as well as three art prints.” The dead and press releases from the band have called, labeled this as true Dead’s first Boxset Of 2020. It’s Book with unreleased music. I dig it. 🙏❤️🌹💀🌹💀🌹💀
    Release Date: April 2020no need to make fun of someone if one is confused or doesn’t understand a post. We all have feelings my brothers & sisters, I’m not here to hurt anyone personally, I please ask everyone respect everyon. We are all here for the same reason (s)
    The greatest band in the world the Grateful Dead. Peace be with you all, rock on!
    I gave Daves Pick #15 for a change.
    1978 April On the 22nd in Nashville,TNat the
    Municipal Auditorium.
    Another PRIMO recording by Betty cantor-Jackson and mastered by the Usual Jeffrey Norman doing another magic trick creating a grateful beauatiful sounding release for the Daves Pick Series. Wow just Wow again for its splendor and repeated enjoyment on more than one listen. Jerry is on his AGame for this performance on guitar as well as Vocally, like Dave L. States I think or in Dicks notes is very much sounds like a 77 Show. I love Donna in this mix ;) another excelent Daves Pick in my taste opinion ...take care folks. 🙏❤️💀🌹👍🏼🌹😎🤠

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!!
