Official Grateful Dead Thread

Just an FYI. The Daves Picks are only available by subscription. They are not sold retail.

I have all 3 from this year, and did get the email about DP 8 shipping around Nov 1, 2013.

I'm pretty sure 1 year was $99 with free shipping included.

I bought my Dave's Picks 5 at Music Millennium on E. Burnside. A retail store.
I'll stop by or give them a ring to see if they'll have #8 in stock.

Guess I was mis-informed then. What did they ask for DP 5?

I was just there about 2 weeks ago. My daughter and her H live in Portland. Nice store, with a fantastic selection.
 
More on Dave's Picks. If they are being sold retail they do not get the bonus disk issued once each year.

This years bonus is on DP 6. Prices for those start at $90.

I'm going to a retailer this week that has his regular used Dicks Picks really marked up. I'll look and ask to see if they have any new Dave's Picks.
 
My take on the issuing of "popular shows" on disc. May 2, 1970 is one epic epic show. I upgraded my tape many times until I got a quality one. I got mine from a DAT trader. Mine is said to be an analog master.
I think it's great that the really good shows (2/13/70, 4/29/71, Creamery, Warlocks, Spring '77, etc) are getting released. It allows those who weren't around during trading times to get to listen to them. I think it weird that someone is profiting from something that historically was of no cost, other than tapes and postage, but that's just me.
I enjoy analog tape more than digital. Have to admit I don't stream and don't do internet music. Just haven't learned. The '90 Branford show in Albany (?) is my benchmark. I have a SBD analog master and a 1st gen aud; and to my ears the audience tape trounces the soundboard. Not saying one is better than the other, just that variables play a role.
Bottom line it's about the music. :music:
 
DaP5 was a bit over the odds @ MM. Think i paid $36 or there abouts. It's not the end of the world if i can't get a DaP8.

Amazing that almost 20 years after the original GD breaks up/Jerry's passing, interest seems to be stronger than ever. I remember in the 90's to early 00's claiming to be a Deadhead would get me alot of ridicule. Funny how things change.

I have a connection at a large Wisconsin chain. I'll ask him if they can buy DP for retail.

What my thought is that they have multiple subscriptions. I'll find out for sure.

I like Everyday Music in downtown Portland, got some great used albums there. It seems like they have more new vinyl at MM than used.

I was in there a few weeks ago.. they have hardly anything used anymore. Just a bunch of garbage tbh. They might be selling online, or people who used to walk in to sell are doing so on ebay. I suspect the latter mostly.

Can't say I've ever liked that place.

Yeah. MM was alot better back when i worked there! :D
Just got the new Jerry Garcia/Legion of Mary PNW '74 3CD set. Tasty stuff. Jerry definitely on fire in '74!
 
Happy B-Day To Me

Turned 50 last week and my bro sent me Vol 1,2,3 of Jerry Band. Have to say the discs are nice. Vol 2 I have on tape, and the discs have the same drop outs that my tapes have, funny. 1990 was a fun year. Saw three of the Spring tour with the return of Loose Lucy, BT Wind. Jerry's playing was in fine form.
Really a nice set, 8 discs total. Haven't had a haul like this in many a year. If you haven't heard these do yourself a favor.

DP 8 arrived today. Unboxed and put the sealed CDs in the ScramVault with care.

First thing I would have done, had I been able to buy it, would be open it up and listen to it. They really need to limit how many can be pre-ordered. lots of DP8 scalpers on e-bay today. grrrrrrrrrr... :thumbsdn::thumbsdn::thumbsdn::thumbsdn:
