Am I the only Deadhead on Earth who could take or leave "Morning Dew?" Sure, some versions (esp Cornell, also Veneta 72) are pretty great, but as a tune, it's never been my favorite "Jerry ballad"

Maybe I should have posted that on the blasphemy thread!

this list is nonsense

no way man. PM me.

They're going bananas on Dead.net over the problems with this set: download issues, wrong items sent, missing discs, scratches, and skips. I have two skips myself, on discs that look cosmetically perfect, so make sure you check 'em all. Think they sorta dropped the ball on this one..

So glad you said that. I feel the same way. I mean, it looks cool, if that matters. But it feels flimsy, and like something that will be bent very easily. And where the hell do you even put something like this in your house?? I'm gonna rip the discs and put this thing on the bookshelf or something I...

Thanks, Rocky! Glad you dug it. Really was a group effort.

Mine shipped today

Thanks man!

Release date is tomorrow. Anybody interested can get a copy here:

The pre-order bonus for a signed copy + exclusive demo is over tomorrow, but if you mention "3DD" in the Paypal note I'll make good on that any time

Download is now live for those who bought it Agree about this version Guns of Umpqua. One of my favorite tunes on American Band and this version's even better Not so sure about this arrangement of TFJ yet. One Of These Days is a song I can hear a million times and never get tired of This release was...

Anyone else plunk down for this? http://www.dead.net/store/1970s/may-197 ... d=39928196

Only show in here that isn't essential is New Haven (and that ones pretty good)

Dave's Picks Volume 22 this release probably buries my longtime wish for an official release of December 5, 1971- an epic, epic show, FM recordings have circulated forever- but nonetheless this should be sweet!!! Waited on line outside the Felt Forum box office at 5:30 in the morning. Eventually ma...

Hey thanks, MM! Hope you dig it!

Great choice. Amazing band, amazing record.

Weirdly, I recently decided that the 'Coog's band circa Lonesome Jubilee is overdue for a critical reassessment. I get that he's the poor man's Springsteen, but "Check It Out" and "Cherry Bomb are great singles, yall. And I think I'd still rep for Scarecrow , though haven't actually listened to it i...

Thanks, yall! Hope you dig it.

My favorite part of the interview is when Cooley plays the dad card when describing the reaction to shootings. Too bad his line of questioning isn't used more often this was my favorite part. It was so...logical! Just echoing everyone else upthread who said this was one of the better interviews the...

Liberals Shaming and Alienating Other Liberals, or "How Trump Won," pt. 3,997 in a series

Shakespeare wrote:pink sunglasses is such a stupidly fun song.

That was the one where, a minute in, I'm thinking "well, I hate this one," but then she gets to that "$9.99" part where her voice breaks just so and I'm all "play that one again!"

That and 70s Kinks is all I've been jammin' this week. I hear that, I've been on the same Kinks track, in the last week I've been revisiting Sleepwalker, Low Budget, and the amazing One for the Road. Hell, in general 2016 has been a huge Kinks year for me, one of the only good aspects of an otherwi...

If you say so. ;) Probably not a lot of sympathy around these parts for anything with a whiff of "pop country," but I've been enjoying the new Miranda Lambert album. It's sorta her Southeastern (but better imo). Check out "Things That Break" and "Running Just In Case," for starters. That and 70s Kin...

Yeah. I wholeheartedly mean it when I say "Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales" is the best song of the past decade

come on man

God, yall, disc 2 of 12/9/81 (Dave's Picks 20) is so damn good

I was gonna take a year off subscribing to Dave's Picks but then they go and tempt me with a '73 show. So I'm in for another year. Truly, though, it's the gift that keeps on giving. If you catch the early bird special (before 11/28), it's $100 with free shipping for FOUR triple CDs plus the bonus di...

I tried to discipline myself and not skip right ahead to Patterson and Kelly's stories, but couldn't resist. I agree, Patterson's story is really good! I laughed out loud a few times (the part about the kid 'literally playing with fire,' etc). He's a strong writer (no surprise there, but then again ...

Parts of this album remind me of Glossary (in a good way, of course). Unfortunately that's not a reference I can just throw around elsewhere, but I'm confident it means something to you good folks here!

Ordered! And Kelly Braffet is a friend of mine, and a terrific writer. Looking forward to this.

It wasn't a huge inconvenience, but I have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon, which is a belt-driven model. To change from 33 to 45 rpm, you have to physically lift the platter and move the belt, so I had to lift the platter off twice between side 1 and side 2 of the 12" LP. Pro-Ject's design choice is not t...

I was just going by an interview I read with Patterson where he talks about bringing in a new engineer (assuming it was the in-house guy in Nashville) and that Barbe sent more time 'producing' this time, ie listening, tweaking, etc, which probably meant less hands-on-the-faders and mic placement typ...
