Official Grateful Dead Thread

Ratdog/Bobby tour cancelled.

Tix being refunded, mysterious answers but would appear to be serious. Even Bobby's appearance at Locken cancelled. WTF!

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Agreed, and Mrs. Stupidhead and I (and a bunch of our "group") are a few of them. As I stated, we were going to do the Jamaica trip in January, and are supremely bummed. Here is a statement that at least assures us that Bobby is relatively OK

and for now, we will just plan towards a Red Rocks adventure to see the band in the Fall. Personally I am hoping for Kimock on guitar.
 
Just joined the site a few days ago. Nice to see Dead Heads here! Moved to Mexico a dozen years ago and left behind my ''bourgoise'' Linn audio system. It's been Ipods and boom boxes ever since....until now. Ran into a whole bunch of audio equipment too cheap to pass up. A millionaire's garage sale! Among the equipment was a McIntosh CD player for 100 pesos ($7.62 USD), which has a broken front glass but plays fine. A Sony mini disc player / recorder for 200 pesos, Canton speakers, Paradigm speakers (800 pesos each pair)....But I digress... I saw the dead or related shows, Rat dog, JGB, etc, somewhere around 50 times. I'm from Chicago, so I saw the last 2 shows. I'll be checking out this section to try to find a way to put the mini disc unit to good use! Keep on keeping on folks! Rob

There is more to this. I don't think you'll see him for a while. I'm bummed too, as I lost work hours in a critical season for me.

I heard Kimock was on guitar and was really stoked about that. But Bobby being the control freak he is would have not let him cut loose much.

Welcome. Nice setup you got there. There's a core group of Deadheads here on AK and, truth be known, I like them all.

I've been digging 1972 as of late. Got The Spectrum '72 (DP36) on heavy rotation with "Bird Song" right out of the box and a great "Playin'." Oh yeah, and one of them "Dark Star" trips.
 
So.. anyone else spring for the '90 TOO box set? Pretty darn good! Glad I did. A couple of excellent Shakedown Streets, a Foolish Heart, a Picasso Moon, a Standing On The Moon, a great but too short Spoonful, almost worth the price of admission for those, 8 shows altogether. Pretty much a perfect mix too!:thmbsp:
 
If I hadn't had such hit-and-miss results buying new records I might go for it too. Inevitably I get one lousy side out of a 2 or 3 record set usually. Last record album I bought "Sound City" had what appeared to be a tiny piece of label paper fragment molded into side 3 near the end. Didn't notice it until well beyond my 30 day return privilege at Fry's.

They're supposed to be releasing all 36 Dick's Picks on vinyl. Probably need a second mortgage to complete that collection.

I have two of them aging in the ScramVault sealed. I did pop for a CD copy of Wake Up To Find Out: Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 3/29/1990. Kept the AutoRip files to burn to CD, and sold the sealed CD same day it came out.
 
Was fortunate to see a few of this tour and they were great. The energy about Loose Lucy and Black-Throated Wind being brought back, the very real chance of hearing a Dark Star, Jerry dialing in the MIDI, really good scenes.
In Hamilton, Ontario we were stopped and searched at the border (yea Wharf Rats!). Also saw a full Hey Jude and a Believe It Or Not.
If you don't have these shows get them. The playing was really solid.

Now if only I could find a score of the Filmore Box and entire Europe 72 :D:D

Have they heard of email yet? I do get them, as I'm on their mailing list. Never saw anything on this one.

Bummer. I got the email on 8-29. Seems like I am usually the one that misses out on stuff like this, so that's why I mentioned the sale here. Tune in again next year maybe they'll do it again!

They do a sale around Christmas too. I stocked up on a few items last year.
 
I saw a good chunk of the Spring90 tour, its amazing how much time we had in our youth..

Hamilton, Albany, Nassau. These shows were ALL fantastic and are ingrained in my brain as a highlight of my college years. The number of amazing shows I witnessed between Fall89 and Fall 90 is unreal but Spring 90 will always be extra special.

Its a real treat to own the new 24 track box(sound is amazing, like an entire box of Without a Net!), but a real travesty they didnt do this for the first box... Also mildly irritating the boxes, while the same color, are not the same dimensions, they look awkward together on the shelf.

Now give us a vinyl release of 3/29 for Black Friday RSD and all will be forgiven :)
