dead.net the official site

doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, lol

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Greatest, LOL
Dee dee, good thing you don’t smoke, yer already too *&$@$* high!

But hey, at least for the meantime, it’s still your right to vote for whomever you like.
So go ahead and vote for the Orange fuhrer and we’ll be plunged into civil war, which will be perfect timing for Russia, China, and Iran to kick our ass in world war three, but hey your awesome new “royal family” I’m sure will be on it, NOT!
Oh, and by the way, some of us actually received an education where we learned about this lost art called critical thinking, you should try it some time!

What are his accomplishments that make him so great?

Since BF I’ve obtained 3-2-69, Lyceum 72, 2 and 3 From The Vault.
Have listened to all so far except 3FTV. Good stuff.
Lyceum was overall a good pressing, only a couple LP’s had a little bit of crackling at the edge but then cleaned up as the album played.
Phil comes through real nice on vinyl.

Got a new VM540ML/H for my AT-LP120USB turntable but haven’t installed it yet.
Reviews says that my vinyl audio experience should be greatly improved.

....look it up. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. They even have an official website where you can sign up and shit. Scary stuff my friends.
If autocracy doesn't make America great again, nothing will! And that's not fake news.
I'm going to go walk the dogs and do some critical thinking and listen to Uncle John's Band, because there ain't no time to hate. There's barely time to wait. You better strap in, because if you think it's been a roller-coaster so far, I've got news for you.
Apologies marye and Dave L. You're the best, but damn.

thank you marye ... we are constantly bombarded by politics, and about the only refuge for me is the Good Ole Grateful Dead ... so please, let's all try to keep this neutral, respectful and apolitical ... meanwhile, here's a handy survival tip: If you get lost in the woods, start talking about politics and someone will show up to argue with you....................tc

Just had my thoughts on 2/28/69 hey now'd. I wonder if I wrote about politics I would get through. Or if this will. Lets see...

I'm not writing it all again. In a nutshell, 2/28/69 is dead good.

I've had the same thing happen numerous times: written out some detailed thoughts about 2/9/69, only to have them Hey Now'd and disappeared into the online aether. Which makes me reluctant to try again. Suffice to say this show is primo top shelf uberpotent deadheaded psychedelic dragon good shit.

if the lameness continues

GD May 79 has many gems

hi

OK, back to the boycott

Welcome back! We knew you'd be back :)

....I apologize for my rant.
Thought about deleting it, but my point stands.
It seems the Hey Now thing is gone. Thanks marye.
I'm going with the Evanston NW University 11.1.73 Wake bonus.
Jokamo feeno

....The Jazz Singer.
Last one.

I was tripped up yesterday trying to post. Personally speaking, it's more important to me to have the board running efficiently than whether somebody uses it to tell us their political opinions. I don't care two hoots about that - whether they put them on here or not. They are usually more fun than the hockey posts, that's for sure

Maybe we could take turns being in charge of the hey now button.

anyone been downloading the 31 days of december?

The for 10 was screwed up, it was a to a whole show.

If you go down you seem to be able to go somewhere via instantgram.

I no have instant, so I couldn't go. Did anyone go there and see if a single track was mentioned or it too was only a to a whole show?

didn't allow the word ?ink

the last 5
The Dave Brubeck Quartet: “Bravo Brubeck”, Live in Mexico (1967 vinyl)
9.2.68: Betty’s Organic Raspberry Farm, Caution “ALL you NEED” (cassette)
8.27.72: Springfield Creamery :) (CD)
Van Morrison: "Enlightenment" (1990 CD) always enjoy "In the Days Before Rock 'N' Roll"
Dire Straits: 1st Album self-titled “Dire Straits”, (1978 vinyl), always great listening

Peace All!

Looks like maybe the plug finally got pulled on the Hey Now Police. That was weird. . . PLUS there's now an easy Search Comments option right above the Comments on each Comments page.

It'll probably take months pf therapy to get over this, but looks like we're on our way. Onward.

just got hey now'd over on POTD. its maddeningly random, but long involved posts seem to be a favorite target

Maybe Deadnet is trying to encourage us to become a bit more focussed in our responses. A bit more minimalist, perhaps.

Why this show (11/20/71)? Nothing special at all. Especially when DaP 26 is FAR superior. That said, the third disc's partial 10/24/70 is the keeper.

9/19 & 20/70 Fillmore East or. 4/5 & 6/69 Avalon Ballroon. It probably won't be either choice, by but both would be very cool.

Or 10/25/69 and 11/7/69. Probably won’t be anything nearly that good. I am really hoping it is NOT the Melkweg shows.

I concur, but how about 11/6 and 11/7/71? Yeah I know, but still. 12/31/71 and 1/2/72?

Thanks for mentioning Daves 26, Wuchmee. I had no idea what that was when I read your post, so I'm playing it now - 11/17/71. It is a good one. I have played it so rarely, it's like listening to a new show. I notice it has a bonus disc attached - a selection from 12/14/71.

6/27 & 28/69.

42 years ago I was at the tiny Fiesta Hall ( 1,500 in atttendance) for a really cool show with the Grateful Dead & Joan Baez. The Dead backed Baez for a set and then played a great electric set. Mickey Hart and Mere Saunders opened the show with High Noon. The show was a benefit called Dance for Disarmamement. What a blast! We were all getting primed for the Dead's great year end run at the Oakland Auditorium.

I'll have to find some time to travel back to San Mateo after I finish in Long Beach on my tour of 1981, being as I've already left Oakland lol, thanks BILLY!

PEACE ALL!
uncle_tripel

maybe get thru
great show release requests
50 all ready picked
tell us all ready
un-gow-wa

I'm with you, Daverock: I too have hardly given Dave's 26 any plays. In my case, though, it's because that release happened right as I was dealing with the events that would lead to my surgery that coming summer, so I was preoccupied. But when I saw your note, I grabbed it and took it to work with me today. I'm just about to fire it up for a lunchtime listen.

Fiesta Hall is one of the buildings at the San Mateo County Event Center, and I *think* it got converted to a drive-through vaccination center back in Fall 2021. Actually, now that I'm looking at a map, I think actually it was the larger building just to the south. Either way, I'd vastly prefer the content that Billy the Kiddd mentioned... xD

10/25/69! Interesting show (what circulates) - what a fantastic Dark Star. Anyone know what guitar Garcia played that night? There's some speculation that it's a Strat and not the SG, but my ears aren't trained enough to know.

George Harrison - Brainwashed
Paul McCartney - Ram
Beastie Boys - Check Your Head
Phish - Billy Breathes
Spafford - For Amusement Only
....
Last GOGD. Dave's 31. Uptown Theatre. Chicago. 12.3.79.
.....
If you haven't heard of Spafford. Shhhh. They're an ancient Chinese secret.

Dave's 1- from May 25, 1977 on vinyl.

And from Mom & Dad's classical collection of vinyl:
Debussy - La Mer, Afternoon of a fawn.
Sibelius - Finlandia, Grieg Op. 26 - Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46
Dukas - The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Second Helping on high quality vinyl reissue using original analog masters.
Cheers

Finally found that beam I was looking for to test some speakers on Dave's 39 Philly April 26, 1983. Anyone have a suggestion on an official release that has a big frightening beam in the Drumz? Need to shake loose some cobwebs.
Cheers

Just heard it's 5/3/77 with filler from 5/4

.....in talks for a Sphere residency.
I know Weir was there for a U2 show to check it out.

Would that include Bill?

I got a better idea, a residency of Bob, Phil, Bill, Mickey, Bruce with (fill in the blank) on guitar.

....taking an early lunch tomorrow.
10 AM PCT. I intend to have multiple browsers up and running.
Obsessive? Maybe. Dedicated. Yes.
I'm not greedy. Looking for Friday & Saturday. Will have the other two dates on the radar. Just in case. Utmost focus is required.
Hopefully Christmas comes in April. Wish me luck because Phish fans are an insane bunch.
There is no way Bill would miss it ConeKid. My opinion.

Help/Slip/Frank reminds me of the 80s. Franklin is really, really good. Hello guys.

alvanhanso, would you please check your pm.

Thank you.

I think everyone inside knows Bills done except unfortunately Bill? He might want to die onstage but I don’t think the others want to witness it.
There was some nonsense in Mexico and, if you remember Mickey during set break from ? Boulder show briefly mentioned how nice it was not having any drama on the tour…
My guess, they dissolve the corporation and restart without him.
But…perhaps the residency methodology would work for him?
I know Bob has stated that he’s getting too old and sick of the road, so who knows?
It’s certainly worked for Phil all these years.
I don’t see them hanging up their R&R shoes soon, especially if they can get off the road.
Let’s hope, this past D& C tour was sweet!

Howdy Carlo!

....that is all.

Garcia back from a coma to kick off the show with Touch of Grey. What an incredible moment, what an incredible show. I t was something Ill never forget, the place was electric. A great birthday present.

Sounds like you wasted your lunch break.

....logged in 10 minutes before the sale. Got in queue. There were 800 in front of me for Friday. 1100 in front of me for Saturday. Not great. Not horrible. Was optimistic. Had the phish subreddit on my phone. As soon as 10 o'clock hit, saw peeps saying there were over 20,000 people/bots in front of them. Got more optimistic.
Then....the line moved sloooooow.
My turn came up. Yay!
Clicked some seats, then they just disappeared. Like a shitty game of whackamole.
Got one! Gone. Got one! Gone.
Yeah. Then more seats popped up. Hey that one got in my cart! Oops. That's a "platinum charity" seat. $1200.00.
I'm out.
F**K TICKETMASTER AND THE BOTS!
Although, a few fans said they got them at face.
Insanity.
