I'll try to remember to do this. You are correct in that there are often multiple recordings of many of these shows, and some are not as good as others. This time I'm listening to:
https://archive.org/details/gd1987-04-11.prefm.unknown.tetzeli.fix-22934.34417.sbeok.shnf

Many times, however, I don't have a favorite show. I just choose something from the "shows on this date" option, and then select a recording based upon the best reviews.

edit: This show has become a favorite, I think they caught lightning in a bottle that night.

I got lucky!

Thought you all would like this pic. Every now and again you get lucky with the camera. I took this at a Ratdog show in 2008 at the Hampton Beach Casino. Great show btw.

Better get your Dave's 9 ordered! Gonna be a good one, Wall Of Sound '74, Adams Field House at the University of Montana in Missoula.
 
Yep I subscribed back around first of November. Reminding folks so they don't lose out, like what happened with 8. I had to buy my 8 from a capitalist on e-bay.:D

I don't know what happened but I missed 5-6-7 and 8 subscription.

There is no way to afford them on Ebay. :no:

The prices are nuts.


I got two 1-4 subscriptions but now won't sell the extra set!
 
Reckoning on vinyl, waiting for daves pick 9 also got a subscription this year. They played some of it on XM Dead channel yesterday really nice:banana:

My sealed 5 through 8 are holding in the ScramVault for even higher prices. :scratch2:
 
Been spinning a bit of mid 80's lately (when I got on the bus). Picked today Set II6/14/85 from the Greek. Dew>Playin>China Doll> D/S >Truckin>Smokestack>Comes A Time>Sugar Mag. Day Job.

This era for me is a happier rollicking time. It's an older TDK SA with the silver and green label. Remember these! This was one of my first clean SBDs.
 
That's a great show, WharfRat.

Finally spinning Dave's Picks 9 here. And digging it! I love 74 Scarlets. There is some awesome electric piano playing by Keith that just makes this era of Scarlet unique.
