Dave's Picks 46

Set list for the bonus disc???? Think that one is gonna be a mystery until it's in my mailbox 

Yea but we're not sure what it will be

1971 and 72 Hollywood Palladium shows are epic,

The cover of the bonus disc is the best artwork of the entire series 

When I receive a new Dave's Picks, I keep it in the wrapper until a long drive so that I can hear the whole show in 1 or 2 steps.

Yesterday was a 90 min drive to Yankee Stadium (one for the ages, down 0-6 in the 5th inning and won 9-8!).

Nice show, but I was not understanding why it was worth of the Dave's Pick series ..... and the I hit the 30+ minute Other One

Wowza!

Yeah that TOO is a top performance and maybe a top 5-10 overall GD moment for me 

As I think I noted in another thread, surely they've put out about 15%+ of available show recordings out there.  The pickings will get slimmer and to what end.   The good shows in the later decades are widely available.  The top shows of the early decades have been shared.   It woul dbe great if they just went back to that old concept of selling any show you want.  I'm sure there are shows I went to that I'd pay for but others wouldn't.      

Does anyone know how a band that recorded seemingly every show has wide swaths of missing boards for many shows in the mid 1980s (Alpine Valley 1987 and Summer Tour 1983 immediately come to mind as examples).

Did someone forget to hit record? Were they recorded and came out shitty? Or are they all secretly being hidden away all this time?  Always wondered about this.

Thanks in advance, I guess I could email David Lemiuex but thought I'd ask the board first.

Interesting and I agree in principle but last years Listen to the River box contains what is likely my all time favorite segment of GD music( (10/19/72) and this pick has a top 10 as well.... the upcoming HCS has a top shelf "best ever" contender show included and will feature significant upgrades to the circulating copies. There still good stuff flowing....

Still good stuff flowing....but for how long is my point.   Until they hit 30%?  25?  

Until they stop selling is my guess.

Sure wish they would do a '68 box set.  All the shows or extended pieces that have very good plus to excellent sound quality.  There aren't that many (maybe about 10 shows would be my guess), It would be a great thing. 

I'd like the raspberry farm show^^^
 

Ark box, 85 box, 12/31/72, .....

now that they are issuing a show with Allmans included maybe we can get a complete 2/13-14/70.... 

Just ten?   I'd like to think there are more than that.  But to your point that would be worth it.   I've tended to focus onreleases that are pre72.if I missed out.   

My 1968 experience is all from archive.org and the few official releases.  Official whole show (or mostly whole) releases are limited to the Feb. 14 (Road Trips Vol. 2 Number 2), Feb. 23 & 24th (Dicks 22), and 2 From the Vault ( Aug. 24th). There are a few on Archive with some real quality, but not many.  Oct. 12th is a great one. So I'm thinking a '68 box set with very good quality recordings would only have about 10 shows.  Totally doable IMO and would be so worth it.  Any suggestions on listenable high quality "68 Dead would be appreciated.  Love me 1968. Am I missing any of the official releases or just the 3 listed above.  Thanks!

9/2/68

i find it hard to play cd's these days.

shows look sick. can't imagine seeing that at the palladium.

Turtle,

I can't play CDs at home. But I am driving my 4th SAAB, a 2011 (the last year that SAABs were sold) and It has a CD deck.

Drinking it in with every Daves Picks. Just broke 200K miles, so this too will pass at some point.

Ouch!  

Sooooo .... I had sat in the driveway on Saturday after getting home from the Yankees game to hear the very end of the killer TOO.

Popped the CD back in the car stero this afternoon. Nice Stella

So totally and completely underwhelmed at the fact that the last track was....... El Paso?

Any backstory on that? Was it the first one or something? It was just such a surprising coda after TOO

Don, CD players in cars are rare these days. My last two Jeeps did not offer a CD player. I can only listen to CDs in my 2005, I keep the mileage low on the T-Bird. No way I can play an entire DP show end to end on a short drive. Even SPAC is not a long enough drive. Road Trip. H2

I admit to being out of touch with modern electronics. What has replaced the CD player in cars these days?  Serious question if not a sad one. I driver a '95 Toyota an thankfully the CD player works fine. 

You really need a cd/dvd player that decodes HDCD to fully enjoy these imo

I didn't used to think you do, but then I got one unintentionally and sort of discovered this part on accident

Howard, When I see a T Bird cruising up Main St playing St Stephen, I will know it is you :->
