Joined:Bolo24 says: An Idea, Perhaps? Since we're all going to have a fair amount of spare time on our hands for the foreseeable future, what about starting another thread where we all listen to the same show/release on a given day and then share impressions afterward? Folks can submit suggestions and one person (not me) picks what we'll all listen to - call it Deadnet Picks or something. Anyway, if this idea is deemed to have merit, I'd suggest one of the loyal regular posters take the lead and do the picking - y'all can decide who. Might be fun. If it does go forward, I nominate Dick's Picks 18 for the first listen. Been talked about here lately, and, had it been a single show rather than a compilation, we'd probably be talking about it in the same conversation as Cornell, Veneta, etc. Or perhaps even Gainesville?? Stay safe and healthy, friends - this planet needs as many Deadheads as possible.

All in good fun of course
And I’m not outta retirement, just a guest lecturer who will soon be skipping through Lilly fields back to my la bore ya tory grinding away over a hot stereo on my quest (or fools errand?) with my worthy assistant Cowboy Neal on the bus to never never land…

Joined:Walking Amonst Giants IndeedDuly goaded, but lacking much original to contribute, I unashamedly and proudly quote from our esteemed resident PhD of 1971, F-Doc-11. Years ago he shared soundboards from what he calls the "Cortland-Providence-Bangor hat trick" (April 18, 21 & 22) and shared the following words:
4/18: "a perfect example of “the sledgehammer approach”---loud, fast, bone-crunching rock’n’roll (as the Dead rarely played it), very edgy, skip-the-subtlety, fasten-yer seatbelts & go directly to “pulverize”. Almost everything is a highlight. . . "
4/21: "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, there was RIA on 4/21/71. The force was with them. Or was it something in the water? Similar in tone to its hard rocking predecessor Cortland, but with “expanded content”, this is an underappreciated, quasi-classic that actually doesn’t get talked about a lot outside of “1971 aficionado circles”. Things get nicely weird early. . ."
4/22: "w/out doubt, one of my great Grateful Dead guilty pleasures… I love it for the homey, down east vibe, the palpable closeness of the band to the audience, the stage chatter (“Don’t tune Garcia up he sings horrible”, lost car keys, & somebody needs a ride back to Boston), & of course the music, the loosey-goosey psychedelic-meets-Bakersfield that only the Dead could come up with. . ."
Guess I still flunk Oro's challenge, but maybe he'll take pity and award a modicum of extra credit for my research project-ette.
Happy Christmas Eve everybody. And here's hoping for a tsunami of sanity in 2026. Just give us some truth. . . Onward

Joined:OB/BluecrowD for participation. You better get after Jeff Smith, isn't he the one that brought you out of retirement?
Bluecrow, definitely not an expert but yes, a huge fan. The Stanley Theater shows are great and the Nassau shows are as good or better. Favorite is still 11/5 and to have it from Norman is a huge plus. Great era. Jerry was really stretching it out during this period.

Joined:D for class participationThought with all the arm chair quarterbacks here we’d have more fun with the 71 picks list, but only Mr G participated class! This is why this board languishes.
So Gold star for Mr G and incompletes for the rest of the class, and don’t think it’s too late for Santa to modify his list! - Oroborous
Joined:Oh it’s RJ Jerry, it’s RJJust nice polite very well played, compared to 900k tons of steel jumpin’ the rails ripper.
Your nice well groomed well dressed highly successful quiet mild mannered cousin vs your larger than life gonzo high energy fun slob and often problematic cousin lol
Love em both, BECAUSE their different from each other and special in their own way!
And yeah, Go Bears!
Sorry DV, Always have and always will love dem VIKS, but my new underdog fun lies with Da Bears!
That slot was held by Da Lion, but then they became good, not an underdog, and then…?
Same kinda with the Pack, liked them as a kid too, then recently struggled, earlier felt like they could be my NFC underdog, but their just aw-ight and still too hyped. Then the Commandos and that awesome kid, but then they nose dived…
Was digging Da Bears back a few when they showed promise with that kid Fields who I really like (wish he’d get a chance with a solid team) but then they fell apart again, but now,
woo doggie, look at dem Bears Go! The AFC ahem, of course I just don’t want to talk about…

I'm trying to stick with one and two syll a ble words in hopes my post gets through.
Damn you evil IT underlords!
Had a long thoughtful post yesterday
and I got shut down. Curses! Foiled again!
Starting the morning with a big ole serving of 3/27/88 Hampton Set II. I feel better already. What a great show and great run.
I don't know now

I'm there! It's a warm and dry inside and the music is sweet (4 songs in).
Thanks Uncle T!!

Nice!
Those were great shows!
Dancin/Midnight and that Let It Grow is RJ fo sho!
Fungus fest times 11
And the hotel nearby we were at was completely taken over by freaks.
It was one of those were there’s a cat walk/balcony with the room doors, so that everyone had their doors open and the place was one giant party!
One of these nights I went first row for first set, but think that was the last time. I had started getting was into the hippie shake, better sound, and less hassles that being by the SB provided. After that, it was GA only at stadiums : (
Or Hampton, good Hampton! Maybe Philly still in 86?
11/7/85
I'm going to give that a try today.
Cycled through two of the three 83 OB picks last week. Fun. By the end, the kick drum problem that seems to be in some of those 83 shows was beginning to rattle me. Like, you can't unhear it. I really wish someone would have insisted on a separate mix for the tapes and bringing back the reel to reels. Dammit Healy (said with my best Mr. Burns face and posture).
I really like the return of the Dancin in the Streets and Midnight Hour that came in that era. And the recordings cleaned up a bit from 83 and early 84. No disco Dancin's here, or as Phil would later say.. no the GD arrangement not the disco one.
Revolution 1...
…Mr Garcia doing his best John Lennon for this evening. Well, you tell me it’s the constitution, well, you know you better change your mind instead.
GA was always loads of fun, on this particular evening spent Set 1 spent in front of the board. I had not danced out of a building like that night since Satisfaction Hampton Spring ‘83
Last five
JGB: 11/8/81 Rider College Gym (audience cassette); attended and being 12 miles away it’s the closest Garcia ever got to my backyard lol, and then @ 11pm the house lights were turned on which was about ¾ of the way through Deal, if you listen to the recording, at that moment you can hear the band really kick it in!
Elmore James: The Master of the Slide (CD)
Neville Brothers: Live @ Tipitina’s Vol.2 (CD)
The TRIO: Oscar Peterson, Live 1961 Chicago (vinyl)
The James Gang: ‘Yer Album (vinyl)
I can’t get NO, I can’t get NO, NO, NO, NO...

That Let It Grow
Kicks arse!
Might just as well go 11/8 today since nothing else…
Might as well might as well.
Hmmm...
Just heard that a certain "classic rock band" has tied Sinatra and Elvis for most albums (58) on Billboard's Top 40.
Wonder who that might be?
yeah
We Are EVERYWHERE!

At the end of that story
Rhino will also reissue all eight albums from the Grateful Dead’s tenure with Arista Records (1977-1990) in pairs between now and July 2024 beginning this Friday, November 10th with the band’s final studio album, Built To Last, and Without a Net, the 3LP collection of historic live performances from the late-Brent Mydland era……

07-27-1973 Soundcheck
Just heard some bits of that on siriusxm. Never heard this before. I sense the birth of Fire on the Mountain somewhere in here.
We’re just
Clever androids
Agree
Clever Androids with a penchant for mind bending music and perhaps a strong dose of whatever Dr. Thompson is having (no offense to our Wharf Ratt kindred spirits)
I also did a twofer of 11/7/85 rolled into 11/8/85 with a sprinkling of 11/9/73 as a jammy middle layer. What a nice little 1985 sandwich. It made for an enjoyable backdrop to a productive couple of days and what a way to break up any monotony that might have otherwise oozed its way into my otherwise sunny couple of days.
I got to thinking, I know I have seen Dancin' openers and Midnight Hour closers before somewhere.. low and behold they sort of did this a couple times, 7.22.84 (but they added a Brokedown Palace encore) and they came close a couple other times which found me listening to 9.16.66 Avalon Ballroom (simply amazing early Dead, Vintage Dead in fact) and yearning for 1.3.70 Fillmore East. Holy cow, it's amazing just how many Grateful Deads there were.. it is not just one band but many similar but different bands rolled into one.
Hola Senor Bolo, welcome back from your travels.
5/5/1990
Okay, how does 5/5/1990 strike you all? I think this would be a first listen for me.
5/5/90
I can fit this in. Checking out the pictures of the show now. It was a hot one that day, 102 degrees. I'll add 9.16.66 and 1.3.70 for future consideration. 6.16.66 makes for a nice short little palate cleanser. A well known show, but man Jerry has some smoking guitar licks for such an early show in his career. If you heard just the guitar solos you might think it is the Airplane.
I'm a roll, very few hey nows today
Re: More Android Fun
I think this can be done. At least I'm pretty sure it can be done, figured out or otherwise find a way to force this one through.
The world would be a kinder, gentler place if we could somehow figure out a way to dose the bots and androids that will one day become AI. I realize we are not there yet, baby steps, perhaps we can start with world leaders and work our way up from there.
ok, back to whatever it was we were doing, as It's the Same Thing comes to rollicking end I am shutting down my PC for the day and moving on the getting shit done and listening to music.
Jim & 6/16/66
Right date?
I see none,,,, I see 9/16
5-5-90
I’ve heard it, it’s good if not RJ?
I’ll toss it on DV while I’m working.
Vguy was there, maybe he can give us some deets?
Ooops
9/16/66. I think it's show they sold as Vintage Dead
Hola
5-5-90: yep, good but…
Felt the couple of miscues and vocal flubs kept from RJ status, but otherwise solid and enjoyable!
Vintage Dead, I have that on vinyl, I’ll have to dig it out!
Hit 11/25/73 Friday. Another good fall 73. Perhaps a slightly different approach with no big TOO or DS etc…
Going 4/16/83 today. Have heard often in the past but being at work and only crappy device, gonna fire it up just because…
Onward!
Ra cha cha 85
Man I love those shows!
5/5/1990
First night since the hot shows at the Omni. This one was good, but not as hot as Spring 1990.
Fun first set, with LTGTR, The Race is On, Help Slip Franklins, Queen Jane.
Enjoyed the flow of Loose Lucy when they brought it back in March and a good one here.
Good second set. Will have to take a look at those other shows Jim.and OB.
Did you see the latest Dave L video? What a scene!
Hmm…Cal State ’90…
had that KPFA-FM broadcast on cassette since about summer '91 and I seem to remember (only remember because of the placement of help>slip>frank) Brent and Phil dominating the mix in Set One, don’t remember much of the 2nd set, probably should go back to it...
ORO – Ra cha cha nice energy from the boys; Seasons round, creatures great and small, up and down, as we rise and fall, RISE AND FALL! going with 9/15/85 while outdoors today, got lots of maple leaves that need some attention.
Hit 10/19/73 Dick’s 19 on Sunday while working on a cellar cleanout, and continued Fall ’73 yesterday with 10/23/73 Set II (always a good laugh from that 1st Encore).
Peace All!

A ight
Didn’t go there but I’ve had a tape of this one fo ever
Good Sheet Mon!
Good one for shitty device work modification!
Wild set list…don’t peak!
10/23, ha, yeah, too funny
EDIT: enjoyed 9/15/85, cool show. Yeah Jers voice occasionally has the rasp thing going on, but not as bad as some, and he plays his arse off while the band smokes on!
Good pick for anyone not familiar.
No pick?
No problem!
Hitting 9/9/88 today.
Serendipitously ended up at 9/8/88 (good but not RJ) so figured I’d finally check out the rest of the run…
Crypto Shillers
Good to see you back! How did you make through Hey Now?
88 spectrum shows. I need to check those out OB.
Seriously, that got through
And I frequently get hey now’d
Scratching My (dead)head on that one.
I guess IT Nazi's Love Crypto.
Just goes to show
It makes no difference at all what you post as to whether you get stopped or not. This board desperately needs some maintenance work doing on it.
you'll never know...
When I started to initially post comments back in October, I was being hey now’d to the point of frustration. So it was at that point that I figured something I’m doing it’s not working, maybe it’s not recognizing my I.P., so I don’t log out anymore…and I don’t have to log-in, and their system still recognizes me.
I launch dead.net, and then click next to the pop-up to clear it, and at the top right of the screen is my avatar. I scroll over to the arrow, the pull-down shows various options and I click on "recent posts", and then I chose the “Title” of the posts I’m interested in reading and/or responding to. This process has been working well for me for several weeks, saving me time by not re-typing, or lost thoughts, and no more frustration, so I “jump fer joy”.
Peace All!

Keep Getting Hey Nowed
Good Grief, can't get a full post through. Be well out there.
Wow
Just wow. I can't post anything anymore, I keep getting Now Heyed. MDJim got this one through, but Jim in MD.. nothing.
Now I'm all pissed off.
I guess we can write whatever we want
So long as we keep it to single syllable words and sentences chimpanzees have said using sign language.
God forbid we comment on a show or discuss complex dark star passages, we will have none of that, you will get "Hey Now you can take that post and shove it up your ass"
Is Help On The Way?
Marye, we are loosing posters and customers right and left here. Can anything be done to get us back to where we were? Just seems a shame that folks are bailing out. I miss them.
Cheers
posting
Someone noted they could post something simple, then went back and edited to add more, that did not pull the hey Now. My last post had a couple typographic symbols, did get the hey now until I removed them, so here's my first test with a clean post.
So that went through first try, no hey now, now now hey, here goes
!@#$%^&*()
and that posted fine, no hey now (second edit)
but it did not allow third fourth fifth of sixth edit tries...
this is ridiculous
what else is there to say...
help
can't post without hay now
wtf
lol
Worst part
Nothing, crickets..
If they at least had the curtesy to let us know what’s up etc, wether this nonsense, or the HCS nonsense.
This secrecy and/or just plain FU decades long loyal fans who give these folks way too much money and they can’t even be cool with us! FFS!
yep...
many of us have spent hundreds if not thousands chasing this music, live and recorded
hmmm... under twenty words no hay now (first edit)
