Yeah...I'm surprised...and looks like I may not be going to these shows after all, as I didn't mail order...
If thats true there may not be any tickets for the "public".

Just discovering GD here. My band plays a couple songs, and I just read Phil Lesh's book.

Mine's stuck in a local UPS depot until Monday :sigh:
Seems like the last Picks have sold out in the first day. Maybe 16.5k is the saturation point. Sure with they would re-issue 1 through 5. I missed out on those.

Analogue "AAA" vinyl.
Broke down and subscribed for Dave's 2015. Got my DP 13 on the front porch Wed afternoon. Getting my teeth into Disc 1 as i type this. Instruments sound really strong. Vocals a bit weak. Seems thus far a mellowish meat 'n potatos final night of a 3 date Winter '74 Winterland run. Looking forward to the "Dark Star" & "Morning Dew" on disc 3 as they seem to be legendary.

Seems to me it took em a while to get all the levels set, guitars reasonably in-tune and everyone on-key, but Dave's 13 is growing on me. The bass guitar and bass drum are well balanced, not with a dominating bass drum like some of the prior picks. Side 2 really works for me.

Sunday morning. Usually up early before my wife. I'll listen to some NPR, wake up, then pull a show, and groove with the head phones (Grados).
This kind of started in college when we would wake-n-bake with Dark Star off Live Dead. 33 1/3 years later, not bakin' anymore but still enjoying the Good Ol' Grateful Dead on the weekends.

I was a big Gov't Mule fan and that sort of transistioned into becoming a Phil Lesh > Grateful Dead then to Jerry > Old and in the Way > David Grisman > Bill Monroe > John Hartford.
My first venture into the GD was Dick's Pick Vol.2. I bought the cd in the late 90's mostly for the minimalist cover art. looking like reel to reel case from there I havn't turned back. The 20 plus minute Dark Star was a life changing jam. I listen to most dead shows in anticipation form those great jams. I have tubs full of live cds from my disc trading days. Now I get to jam FLAC on my budget hi fi system. I do miss the hanging out on the boards talking dead.

I just saw dark star orchestra in Chicago and Milwaukee. If you haven't seen them.....GO! They played 6/29/76 Chicago audiotorum theater in Chicago, and 6/19/88 alpine valley in Milwaukee. They are masters. I've never seen jerry Garcia (he died on my 12th birthday) but I'd rather see dark star then any post jerry project I've ever seen. I got my rejection letter for my mail order for the 50th anniversary today. I will be camping out at a ticketmaster in a Walmart the day before tickets go on sale.
Same here. And I had to scroll through all that crap to get to it.
Waiting for the May 77 box that I bought here on BT.

Great fun even if you don't normally abide by cover bands. Rob Eaton is genuine.
So many great shows from that run. Dig June '77 too.
I've seen DSO a couple of times. I thought he was creepy, and they all seem to think their you know what doesn't stink. YMMV I guess.
