Introducing The Next Box: Spring 1990!
And now for something a little different. This year's box set - Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 - offers six complete shows from the epic spring '90 tour, one concert from each city the band played, personally selected by Dead vaultmeister and archival release producer David Lemieux. The sizzling six are: 3/16/90 Capital Centre (Landover , MD), 3/19/90 Hartford Civic Center, 3/22/90 Copps Coliseum (Hamilton, Ontario), 3/26/90 Knickerbocker Arena (Albany, NY), 3/30/90 Nassau Coliseum (Uniondale, NY) and 4/2/90 The Omni (Atlanta, GA).
In his "Producer's Note" in the beautiful book that is part of the box, Lemieux, who attended the first 10 shows on the tour, states, "To my ears this was the last tour that was consistently great, where every show is excellent, not a dud in the bunch." And Grateful Dead historian Dennis McNally's comprehensive and informative insider's essay in the box is titled "The Last Great Dead Tour." These guys know what they're talking about.
Basically, the band had been on an upward trajectory since Garcia's return to the road in the spring of '87, following his near-death the previous summer. Of course, 1987 was a trip in itself, what with the unexpected mega-success of In the Dark and their first hit single, "Touch of Grey." But the momentum just kept building with each subsequent tour, as Garcia got back up to full speed (and then some!) and the group as a whole was as unified as they had ever been since Brent joined the band in the spring of '79. New original tunes were popping up and the old favorites were imbued with a freshness and spirit that was so uplifting and inspiring. The band was having fun again, and it was downright infectious.
The group's fall 1989 shows-as documented two years ago on the Formerly the Warlocks box (two shows from Hampton, VA, 10/8-9/89) and on the 2001 release Nightfall of Diamonds (a single night in NJ, 10/16/89)- kicked the energy level up another couple of notches, as the band reintroduced such loved classics as "Help on the Way" > "Slipknot!," "Attics of My Life," "Death Don't Have No Mercy" and "Dark Star."
And when the band hit the road in mid-March 1990, they had a bunch of other cool tunes to lay on their unsuspecting crowds, including the return of "Loose Lucy" (last played in 1974; it's not on this box), Brent's "Easy to Love You" (missing since 1980), a rollicking cover of the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time," The Band's "The Weight" (with all four singers taking a verse each) and a lyrically retooled "Black-Throated Wind" (absent since 1974), which elicited huge cheers every time it was played.
Over these six shows, most of the cornerstones of the Dead's repertoire from the era appear-splendid versions of "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain," "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider," "Playing in the Band," "Uncle John's Band," "Eyes of the World," "Estimated Prophet," "Truckin'," "Sugar Magnolia," "The Other One," "Terrapin," "Stella Blue," "Feel Like a Stranger," "Bird Song," "Let It Grow," "China Doll," "Box of Rain," "Morning Dew"; you name it. From the fall '89 breakouts come "Help-Slip-Frank," "Attics of My Life" and "Death Don't Have No Mercy." Among the still newish tunes are "Picasso Moon," "Blow Away," "Foolish Heart," "Just a Little Light," "Victim or the Crime," "Standing on the Moon," "We Can Run" and a couple that would get their final plays from the Grateful Dead on this tour-"Built to Last" and "Believe It or Not." There are stirring renditions of "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "Black Muddy River," rockin' takes on "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "Iko Iko" and the only version of the full "Hey Jude" the band attempted in the modern era. And the "Rhythm Devils" and "Space" jams at the heart of each second set are as noisy-beautiful-scary-funny-intense-mysterious-wild as you'd expect/hope for.
Of course, we understand that some of you may have other favorite shows from this tour you wish were included on this box. Really, you can't go wrong with any of them. But at 18 discs, this is still the second largest Grateful Dead box (after Europe '72: The Complete Recordings) that's been released, and the non-inclusion of any other shows from the tour definitely does not preclude their future release! But this seemed like a more manageable way to go, while still giving a sense of the tour's amazing depth and breadth.
Besides the discs themselves, Grateful Dead: Spring 1990 has much to offer, including: a gorgeous 60-page hardcover book containing copious color photos by Jim Anderson and Michael Laurentus, unique artwork by Brooklyn-based fine artist Wes Lang, fascinating business letters and communications related to the tour, a detailed historical essay by Dennis McNally, a Producer's Note by David Lemieux and individual show descriptions by Blair Jackson; a reproduction of the Dead's 1990 tour program (printed and sold later in '90, for the fall and Europe '90 tours); tickets and backstage passes of all six shows; a band publicity photo from 1990 by Ken Friedman; Dennis McNally's tour laminate; and reproductions of the colored 8x10 sheets GDTS sent out with hotel, food and other information for each city on the tour.
With recordings made by longtime Grateful Dead recordist and producer John Cutler, mastered by Jeffrey Norman in HDCD, you just know it's gonna sound great-and it does!
So, that's the skinny this time 'round. This box is limited to just 9,000 numbered copies - please note, this is the only time these shows will ever be officially available on CD. There will not be an All Music Edition and single shows will not be available physically. Due to ship out August 31st, we anticipate that this extraordinary set will sell-out, so order your copy today!
If you're looking for more of a bite-sized taste of the '90s, Spring 1990: So Glad You Made It, a 2-CD set featuring a handful of favorites, will be in stores on September 18th.

Show #4
My experience with Dead.net has been similar to Scott1129. I've bought all the boxes, except "The Warlocks", and all but a handful of the Dicks Picks, Road Trips, and now Dave's Picks. I've only had one missing or duplicate disc (can't remember) and a replacement was sent immediately. That was an early Dick's Picks, probably over 10 years ago. Everything else has been just fine. Just my experience...
>>> In the event that you receive a defective physical Product, provided that you return such defective physical Product to us within 30 working days following your receipt of such Product (as determined pursuant to Section 4 above), we will (on your election) either send you a replacement physical Product, or provide you with a full refund. We will cover the cost of any defective physical Product returned by you up to the value of standard USPS first class postage <<<.
This would seem to indicate:
A) Per paragraph 4, the packaging must be unopened to be leigible for refund
B) If determined to be eligible for refund the amount will not be in any case larger than the amount to have originally sent it first class USPS standard postage.
So, if you paud $13 in change for postage and it is found to be defective, and Rhino agrees, they accept responsibility for no more than !13 and change. The whole thing is purposefully unclear and meant to confuse. It boils down to:
>>> If determined to be eligible for refund the amount will not be in any case larger than the amount to have originally sent it first class USPS standard postage. <<<
Therefore, if your receive a defective shipment your recourse is never larger than $13 and change. Period, end of discussion

That's not what paragraph 5 says; the reference to paragraph 4 is about the timing, not about the opening of the product. (You couldn't tell it was defective without opening it!) Paragraph five says you get a refund, or replacement. The only thing that says anything about opened items is cancellation of purchase, NOT replacement of defective items.
Most of the CS comments here have the negitive flavor of ..
But I have had a different experience.
The first time was not even a dead product but the Chicago IV box.
Which came with two Disc 3's and no Disc 4.
But Dr. Rhino fixed the problem with a new Disc 4 and I still have the extra Disc 3.
The Beyond Description Box,
The Shakedown Street disc was defective and they sent me a new Shakedown disc
before I received the Box Set (was about two years after the release date that I bought the set)
The 3rd Road Trips had glue on the edge of the second disc.
Was replaced with in two weeks of the original shipping date.

So, say you opened up you long anticipated box set and are psyched to play it but there is a problem. You have three disc 7s or a big scratch on disc 9. According to the terms listed above you have no recourse to remedy your problem. Once you have opened the box, that is all she wrote. Given the dead.net stores record for producing a mistake-free experience it is highly, highly unlikely they will have a perfect record and are setting up innocent people to take the fall for their own mistakes, Given this, I wouldn't go anywhere near this iron-clamp trap.
I understand why this has happened, Because Rhino delivered an insanely inferior product with E-72 and never wants to take a hit ever again for the mistakes they have made. How sad. The rest of the professional business world does not work on this model and people willing to bet they will win a lottery where the product arrives in perfect condition really have great, if misguided, faith.
Thanks to all involved for another release.
We are very fortunate for all the recent releases!! Please keep'em coming!!!
I just saw the pictures and this set looks like it has very nice packaging.......Please keep these box sets coming!!! The nicer the better. Thanks.
No doubt the sound on this set will be fabulous. I hope the packaging is deluxe.....not the flimsy paper sleeves that you have to tear open to remove the discs that are trapped inside that the Europe '72 set had!!!!! That would be a real shame........wouldn't it?
Amen Brother!!
Indian boy wanna go dowtown, iko iko an nay
If you don't like what the big chief says, say jockomo feena nay
I was aware that Cornell from the May '77 run was missing from the vault. In addition to Boston and Buffalo, I wonder if and what other master tapes from that particular tour are missing?
I wondwer what i will get first DP3 or 1990 spring box
I can't believe how excited I am about this release. This from a grouchy middle-aged Deadhead that has mostly ignored, dismissed, or outright poo-poo-ed the whole Brent-era for more that 32 years. I'm listening a lot to Terrapin Limited and if this release is on the same level we are really in for a treat! Live and learn!
The big problem people had re: Europe 72 "accoutrements" was primarily because what was promised/advertised and what not what was delivered. Another thing that is different this time around is that the lead time is totally different. With E72 they wanted to be sure that they'd get the minimum 3,000 orders to get into production and all the packaging/etc. was preliminary with 7,200 being the the cap. Demand was off the charts and they caved-in to demand by going with the "All Music Edition." And we had to wait nearly 9 months to get it.
With Spring 90 it seems that this thing is pretty much at the assembly stage and getting warehoused for delivery. The 9,000 copies is a given. No testing the waters, no preliminary artwork, no All Music Edition - what you see if what you're gonna get.
And a point of debate regarding the playing between the eras... No one has mentioned that among the 22 shows for E72 there were about 60 distinct songs played. For Spring 90 we will be getting about 80 distinct songs among just 6 shows. I believe this concentration of songs in the repertoire has to be a factor in how well each show was played in the earlier years vs. the later years. Plus, there was no rehearsal discipline if I remember right. I appreciate the variety in the setlists and the looseness in the playing we'll get on Spring 1990.
SpaceBro - The early May '77 stuff is not in the vault, most notably 5/7-9/77. If they were there I have no doubts that all three would have been released by now.
Personally, it's releases like this that I look forward to the most. Besides the rest of this tour NOT included in this Spring '90 box (particularly 3/14 and 3/29), 8/27/72 Field Trip seems like the next big unreleased show that is traditionally listed among the the all time favorites. I wonder how many, if any of the early May '77 shows are in the vault?
When and if 8/27/72 gets the CD/DVD/Blueray release nod, there will certainly be complainers on that one as well. It's like that one guy from the Grateful Dead Movie who complained about the Grateful Dead making a movie. I would have paid the price of 10 box sets just to see the look on the complaining guys face, seeing himself for the first time in the GD Movie. Priceless...
edit- I'm digging the fancy post header font.
People can't say or do anything I don't want them to and it really pisses me off that they do. People have to like what I like and if they don't they are all a bunch of losers who should have their privileges to make comments revoked until they are of the same opinion as me. Further, no one should make any conjecture at all on the intentions of Warner Brothers or offer any opinion about what any of their subsidiaries might produce and when it might become unavailable.
I have been a member of the Dead community for OVER 40 years and no one has a right to differ with anything I say. I am the holder of the orthodoxy and My Word Fills The Sky With Flame!!!
Like you said hbob, it's going to sell out so what does it matter?
I have been a member of the Dead community for about 40 years. I usually just read the posts here, without saying much. But after reading what has been said here since the announcement of offering, I must say I am amazed! It is quite obvious, that whatever is offered, now, or in the future, there will be those that are unhappy with it for whatever reason.
I saw many shows over the years and I have many shows on cd. Some are better then others but none are bad. The Dead on an off night, are still better then most bands on a good night. When the Europe '72 box set came out, some folks complained about the lack of doodads. Now the doodads are included here, and some people are complaining about that. Rhino has been releasing a lot of '70's show and people asked for something else. So now Rhino offers an excellent box of late Brent shows and some folks complain about that.
I am a 70's fan myself, but I think this is a great set of shows from a great tour. Sure, some recordings are better then others, but look at Dick's Picks. They were marked "caveat emptor"., buyer beware, since they were not all prettied up. I love them all! Sure, I like some better then others, but that is just the nature of the beast.
Rhino is a business, a "for profit" business. So I just wish folks would stop complaining about them making a reasonable profit. Who ever promised you that the Grateful Dead were all about giving you everything you want for free? I could not buy the Europe '72 box due to the fact that I just did not have the dollars at that time. I have since picked up 3 or 4 shows and I am very happy with that. If you do not like this offering, or you can not afford it today, ok, we understand. But don't slam Rhino or the folks who do like this offering and are going to buy it. There will always be more in the future so you can sit back and wait on the next offering. I myself am stoked for this one and I can't wait to get it.
And anyone who trys to predict sales of this one are just deluding themselves. It will sell out for sure so who cares how long it takes? Eventually it will and that will be the end of your chance to get it at this price. Rock on Dead Heads and casual fans too! Just be happy that Rhino & the Grateful Dead are making these offerings for those who do want them and are happy to have them, like me! 9000 units for the world is a VERY small percentage.
Attempting to forecast the sales of this box set based on the posters in this thread would be futile. Most people do not feel the need to post a comment before purchasing and the negative posters only represent a very small portion of the Dead community.
Spring '90 was incredible and this is going to be a nice size treasure for those who get it.
Lemieux almost never says anything officially about the count sold, other than perhaps an update when they are close to selling out. That is not to say he doesn't answer people who ask him questions. I would really be surprised if 4500 units have been sold. I don't know how many of the 9000 produced are freebies for the band, promotional purposes, record industry & Rhinoids involved in the process and such. That probably is around 300. So, of the 8700 actually up for sale to the public, given the response here, I would be floored if there were 4500 actually sold.
I think that a sell-out on 8/19/12 is wildly, wildly optimistic. I hope I'm wrong. I think this is an excellent product from a great period for the band. But the price is prohibitive and holding back sales. I stick by my estimate of a 90 day sellout. We'll certainly know as there will be a "SOLD OUT" update for this item. I think a 90 day sell out of 9000 units for a band that has not performed for 17 years is truly marvelous and testament to their enduring popularity.
Having said all that, by all means, buy this thing now if you absolutely must have it. Somebody on this thread has said Grateful Dead CD packages are a great investment with a proven history. If there is a businessman out there with an Am-Ex black card he could buy every last unit and then have them up for sale on E-Bay on Monday morning for $500 each. Not likely, but it could happen. Don't say you weren't warned....
Where is my blackie anyway?
... ahh the elusive rationale behind the Skull with Indian feathers...
Look no further than the cover of 'Without A Net'.
Wes was just keeping a continuity.
Funny how many folks seem to "know" whether or not, and how much, Rhino might make from this release. Yes some of you have identified the expenses, but have NO IDEA what they might be! Production costs, well not much there. Promotion, I assume it is limited more or less to this web-site. Payments to technicians, producers, authors, the band----who knows?!? Given my experience in publishing and music production, and the production of art books, I would be surprised if total production costs were over $30-$40 a unit. Of course it is possible I am totally off base for some unforseen reason. Lets face it, if there were not profit in it, why would it be done, seeing that the product, in a sense, is already easily available. This is not a complaint, just a fact. My guess, but it is certainly just that, is that there is a healthy profit margin built in, as there usually is with "special" boxes that contain lots of stuff with very low production costs, and little residual costs (stickers, reproductions of material that the company owes the copyright to, and so on). Hey, if you want it, buy it!
I have emailed Dave Lemieux and he advised that the boxes were more than 50% sold as of Monday the 6th. His estimation is that there are 30% or less available at this time which would be 3000 boxes or so. I imagine it will be sold out befor the end of next week if not sooner. Get it if you are on the fence......cheers.
Are you just having fun with us, Anna? There has to be more than 250 sets sold. At least that many people seem to have commented on how happy they are about this release, or at least willing enough to purchase it. I would guess, as someone else did, that it is about halfway to being sold out, if not closer. I hope I'm wrong because I think the price is too high for the amount of discs, and I hope Rhino lowers the price per disc for the next box. I won't get into my argument or "whine" about it anymore, though. :)
But I do agree with the comment that no one from Rhino is getting "rich" from this. 9000 x $200 = $1.8m, a good chunk of which is going to the band, engineers, employees, other costs. Definitely not a windfall leftover after everythings's been paid. Rhino, like everyone else, deserves to get paid. It just won't be with my money this time. Most people who bought this one will enjoy it though. These are very good shows from a very good tour, possibly the peak of late-era Dead.
lets hate the artist because he wont do something for me-wahhhhhh
really there have only been 250 sold? are you positive? i feel like a lot more than 250 would have been sold at this point...
Or do a Google search for: digital deadhead with the/a Flickr photostream as such: http://www.flickr.com/photos/salmo_gairdneri/page5/
That was 250 sold, not left. My bad!
I love the music, I was on tour Spring of 1990. I contacted the artist Wes Lang to do art for my company HippieShop.com and he blew us off...kind of rude!!!
I can't believe anyone is gettin rich from the material rhino is releasing. The numbers are quite small about 10,000 units of each relase. Between dave's picks and the new box if every thing is sold that is 3 million dollars before expenses. Rhino must produce 300,000 cds, market them and distribute. Once all expenses are paid and profits are split with the band and royaltys paid to the writers there is not that much to go around. The only reason so much has been released is some people doing this must really love the band. Yeah they are not doing it toally free but at a more than reasonable price for what we get. As far as the sound quality goes I still have nightmares about the hiss and distortion from casette tapes. The only questioin I care about is what is going to be next.
...says it all, and far more politely than me! Clean well recorded shows from the '90's can powerfully evoke memories of having been there, and these are, for many of us, very happy memories. This IS a good and important thing. But as documents of music, and when thought of against the massive output of the mighty Dead over their assorted eras and tours, there is little here that demands, or even really invites, hearing! So, crank it up, and transport yourself back to dancing in the halls, meeting that special friend, that moment of chemically assisted enlightenment, and all that, but I will go listen to something else!
Every time I open up dead.net Lang's indian freaks me out. WTF? Somebody said there is a link to an article explaining the symbolism to this motif??
@ CT DP3 Subscriber I live in CT as well and received mine on the 3rd with the free shipping offer option. Good Luck !!! I can't wait till the end of the month for the Spring 90 shows....Woo Hooooooo :0)
I find it interesting for some to compare the eras that we at different times traveled with the band in body and or spirit. My begining was in '68 and I treasure the years following that, but to minimize the special Experiance that all permeable rocks known as "deadheads" were fortunate the have that energy flow thgrough them just does not feel good to me. I am glad that generations were able to be bound by the enchanting mystery we all were enveloped by. I see only unity and pure albeit colorful light shinning around us. May we all wear the halo the intimate knowledge that the miracle of kindness has place upon our heads.
Give or take.
I think this is fair for people who were going to Dead Shows then. I always wondered why They had all of those good concert videos in the late 80s, My fave is "Truckin Up to Buffalo". I bought 2 individual shows from the Europe 72 tour, Amsterdam and Paris May,3. Excellent Shows and good sound.
As far as digital goes, everything live that is running out now, is available on the Downloads page in about 4 different formats . I remember buying tapes from the Dead, I really miss The GD Almanac, just a neat periodical to have lying around.
PS- Anyone know how many 90s sets are left? 9000 is not very many, I would imagine they are over half gone.
First show was '89. Told my momma I was going to a friend's house. Old school heads should appreciate this...I came home 4 days later and 3 venues later. I believe anyway. Mom saw me and said, how were the colors? I had different clothes on. The next few years of tour happened to change my life. I'm one of the kids in the end that, by definition, had to explain to the even the younger generations that never had the opportunity to catch Jerry with the band that the early 90's were the best gig going at the time. Never Had such a GOODTIME in my life before. Thanx Dave!!!!
so i spent half the night on archive listening to the spring tour...there are some redeeming qualities to the energy level of the ensemble, but there is such little space in the music, its density is hard to listen to for extended periods...no one ever stops playing...everyone is always banging away, and as a musician myself, i just dont feel an ability to be listening if your are always bouncing off the ceiling, hands moving like hamster wheels...brent seems solid enough, but there is nothing to write home to mama about in his personal performances...i understand the nostalgia of having his last tour documented, and toward that end, i am happy that this box set is available for those who need to re experience their precious small piece of the dead, the late brent era...but i cant compare the two or three extended and lengthy eyes of the world cuts that i have listened to thus far with anything from may through june of 1974....apples and oranges...
re: audio quality:
Some people listen to a recording for the production values; others listen for the music actually being made. I'm kinda on the music side of the spectrum, myself. If you can't hear the music for the production, well, my sympathies extend to you...
re: phish:
It's great that they are so digital-media savvy. Unfortunately, there's nothing of theirs that I would ever care to download or listen to. Given the choice, I'm prepared to wait a bit for the good stuff.
re: 90's dead:
I'm a fan of early '70's dead, but enjoyed shows from the late 70's through '93. Thanks, Dave, for honoring all eras of my favorite band.
re: whining:
It's your money; keep it in your own pocket if the product isn't something that you want. It's OK to state why you will not be purchasing, if you feel the need, but be factual. If you engage in inane quesswork as to the motives of the folks engaged in production, don't be surprised if people think that you are whining.
I like to think that in the late 80's and early 90's the grateful dead were on fire, they all sounded tight and happy and you can see that they were all having fun. The years that you gave are quite fantastic but give those years a listen and you will see that they were ion fire more often then not in the late 80's and early 90's personally those are my favorite times that and early 70's. Either way give those years a good listen before jumping to any conclusions.
Ok, I have fussed enough. I'm sure this Spring '90 business will sound fine. I'm not a 90s fan but there will be gems in there of course.
Meanwhile, how about that Dave's #3?? The version of Comes a Time knocked me out. Did that song peak early or what? Damn. I'm only halfway through listening to DaP3 and it is already my fave by far. Off topic for this thread, I know. I'd rather rant about the 70s anyway.
Speaking of off-topic in the 70s, the version of Minglewood from 12/26/70 is playing in my headphones as I write this (from the first 30 Days of Dead freebie). Way to insert the odd verse, Bob! Makes me want to check out the rest of this show.
Good night from Atlanta. All is well. Please fuss on.
...69, 70, 71, 72, 74, 77, misc 80 and 81....all far superior in every way to the late brent era.. by 1990, jerrys leadership is diluted by self absorbtion on the part of all band members, and technical staff, most concerned about 'their sound'....group and collective consciousness is quite weak compared to earlier eras, and perhaps, as always with the dead, the band was simply a reflection of the crowd that was hanging around the scene at the time. no choice but to be disconnected from each other.
so as we all marvel at the advent of the age of digital technology and sampling, clean mixes and sharp separation, higher highs and lower lows, six string basses and fun space/drums/jam toys to beat on, think about the extent to which ensemble improvisation had all but disappeared by this time, leaving us to have little debates about how many 'blow aways' there were recorded during the era, or how great the 'new material' was...yeah yeah yeah...the best of the worst of any particular artist is not necessarily something to run home and shout about from the rooftops...
Are there going to be any more spring 90 T-Shirt designs put up for sale? I know each design is one run, but what about other designs? Two of the shirts have already sold out and the skeleton in top hat has sold out of my size (large). Wes Lang's album art for each of the individual shows looks really cool, especially the reaper and rose one (3/22/90 I think). They're selling stickers and patches with that one, but stickers and patches aren't quite as much my thing.
I know better than to get them replaced! You're just trying to shut me up!!!
"Better late than never" HAH! I'd rather cry forever than let you fix it now.
Well said!!!
I can only agree with a statement like that Mr. Deadheadbrewer.
Being that I was too young to experience anything Grateful Dead before 1980,...and my first show was in 1982, the Brent years have a special place in my heart, and this expands my heart to 3x the normal size, no I am not the Grinch,..LOL>>>but this just gives me such a thrill to be able to go back and listen to the magic once again, and remember all those f***in' good shows I caught whilst they were in their late 80's rebirth. So looking forward to the expansive listen,..so glad I made it!!!
Let's see . . .
A group of very serious and devout Deadheads responds to requests from other Heads to spruce up and release some great music from the 90's. They spend weeks and months listening critically to dozens and dozens of shows. They recruit a record company that specializes in releasing high-quality (both sonically and packaging-wise) CDs by obscure-yet-talented musicians, even though many of those releases have expected sales in the low thousands of units. This team of Deadheads (who have heard more Dead than just about anyone), who have the time, inclination, and equipment to produce the best possible sound from decades-old tapes, decide how the music will be best presented, in terms of source material and production process. They dress the CDs up with lavish books that will be a joy to look at for years, along with some trinkets that stir old memories and make the set a wonder to behold.
Leaves me thinking of two words only--
Thank you!
For anyone who thinks that Rhino is some greedy company, please go take a look at the artists they produce. The people at Rhino love music, and put out well-thought releases that no other company would even consider. I am willing to bet $200 that David and company made the best decision on this set as to which source tapes to use. And Europe '72 sounds amazing to my ears through a tube amp, some Grados, and some Magnepans. If folks didn't scream so loudly about complete show-only releases, then perhaps there would have been an 8-disc compilation of this tour that was $140, but hit all the truly fantastic moments, but excluded all the mediocre moments. Then it would have been more affordable, would have hit everyone's favorite moment, and would have allowed more production time for the 80's releases that some folks clamor for. (personally I would love more 60's) You can't have it all, so I'm Grateful that we get so gosh darn many releases that look and sound excellent.
lets keep talking about dave's pick not arriving.stay off topic!!
Hey everyone...for what it's worth, my copy arrived this monday, August 6, & I've never had a problem getting the releases..I'm in upstate NY..Albany.
And, at the risk of offending some of my friends out here...Brent was a whiz on the keyboards, no question. But I found his voice to be one of the most annoying in rock and a distraction from any song on which he sang.
Today being the anniversary of Jerry's death, would this not be a good time for folks to lobby the Post Office for a Jerry Stamp??? We all know now that addiction is a disease. And if that is raised as an objection to honoring Jerry, look at all the stamps that have been issued for Americans who were drug addicts and alcoholics over the years...Spencer Tracy, Billie Holliday, Bing Crosby, who also beat his wife & children, Edgar Allan Poe, James Baldwin...the list goes on. I don't know how a person gets to have a stamp celebrating his life & contributions to our lives and culture, but of all places, THIS site should have someone who knows how to get this started. Be well everybody, and as a wise old dude once said to me...go to church today and blow out a candle in Jerry's name.
DP#3...pffft. I actually forgot about it. Needles to say mine hasn't arrived yet. I can hardly wait for the Spring 90 box to arrive though. I should be just getting back from Phish's 2nd leg when it arrives. I can't wait to pop in the first disc. I'm going straight to Nassau!

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
The State Board of Education today adopted a resolution establishing proficiency levels for the science section of New Jerseys Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment (GEPA). The test, administered for the first time in 1999, measures student performance in the areas of language arts literacy and mathematics, in addition to science.
"The state academic standards as described in the Core Curriculum Content Standards create the need for measurement tools to ensure that all students have the opportunity to receive a quality education," said Commissioner of Education David Hespe. "An essential part of our testing system is to set proficiency standards so that local educators can properly evaluate student performance. The State Boards action today extends to the content area of science a standard-setting process that it approved last year for language arts literacy and mathematics."
Ellen Schechter, assistant commissioner for the Division of Academic and Career Standards, and Robert Riehs, acting director of the Office of Assessment, described the steps that led to the adoption of the proficiency standards. They explained that definitions or descriptions of proficient and advanced proficient student performance in science were developed by Department of Education staff who collaborated with educators. Using those definitions, a state-level panel of educators participated in a rigorous judgment procedure to arrive at cut scores that distinguished the partially proficient students from the proficient students, and the proficient students from the advanced proficient students.
The State Board of Education set the score standard of 200 as the cutoff separating the partially proficient level from the proficient level, and the score standard of 250 to separate the proficient level from the advanced proficient level. The GEPA is scored on a scale ranging from 100 to 300.
The GEPA, which last year replaced the Grade 8 Early Warning Test, was administered to nearly 91,000 eighth graders in March 2000. Local school leaders use the results to determine appropriate instruction based on students performance. It is also used at the local level to ensure that the curriculum prepares students for the skills and knowledge that they must demonstrate on the exam.
Schechter and Riehs joined Commissioner Hespe in commending the judges for volunteering their time and professional expertise to set the new science standards.
Because of the need to carry out the science proficiency level setting process, the 2000 GEPA science results will be reported to districts before the end of this month. Next years science results will be reported in June. The 2000 GEPA results in mathematics and language arts literacy were reported to districts in June. The results of all state tests are reported annually in the New Jersey School Report Card, a detailed statistical profile of every school in the state. Statewide test summaries are presented annually to the State Board of Education, usually toward the end of the calendar year.
Students do not pass or fail the GEPA. Their scores will place them in ranges of advanced proficient, proficient, and partially proficient. Students who score in the advanced proficient and proficient ranges probably are meeting state standards and probably do not require remedial help. Students in the partially proficient range are at risk of failing the high school graduation test in the 11th grade and will need remedial help.

New Mexico girl found locked in wooden cage
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A woman and her boyfriend have been arrested after police found an 8-year-old developmentally disabled girl locked in a wooden cage in the couple's mobile home.
The Las Cruces Sun-News reported Monday that officers checking on the girl's welfare found her in the cage the size of a crib, and that she was left in it while the rest of the family went to a movie.
Authorities say 33-year-old Cindy Patriarchias of Las Cruces and 37-year-old Edmond Gonzales remained in custody today after being arrested Friday evening.
Patriarchias is charged with negligently causing child abuse, and Gonzales with negligently permitting child abuse. Court records indicate they appeared in court Monday but haven't yet entered pleas.
A police spokesman says Patriarchias has been trying to adopt the girl.

The hole in the wall just inside the entrance of the visiting locker room at Oracle Arena kicked in by Kenneth Faried might symbolize the Denver Nuggets' frustration more than any other.
About the only dent bigger is the one Stephen Curry has put in Denver's season.
Curry shook off a sore left ankle to score 22 of his 31 points in a spectacular third quarter, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Nuggets 115-101 on Sunday night for a commanding 3-1 series lead.
"There's no good news," said Faried, who had eight pounds and 12 rebounds. "The effort of coming back and trying to keep playing, it was there. But when they come down and just hit 3s when you've just crossed half-court, you can't scheme around that. You can't stop that. We just have to find a way to not let them do that.
Faried's frustration was reminiscent of the hole Dirk Nowitzki put in the wall outside the locker room — which remains till this day — when he threw a chair after his top-seeded Dallas Mavericks were upset in the first round by Golden State in 2007, the last time the Warriors had made the playoffs.
Like that Dallas team that lost in six games, Denver suddenly needs to win three straight.
Ty Lawson scored 26 points and Andre Iguodala had 19 for the third-seeded Nuggets. Denver won the rebounding battle for the first time in this series — 37 to 29 — but Golden State didn't miss much.
The Warriors outshot the Nuggets 55.7 to 46.5 percent.
"The next 48 hours are going to be difficult, to say the least," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "They found some magic, and we have to find a way to take it away."
Curry finished 10 of 16 from the floor, including 6 of 11 from long range, and added seven assists in a dominant and dazzling display that rivaled his days in the NCAA tournament for tiny Davidson. Only this time, he stole the spotlight in the NBA playoffs, earning praise from Hall of Famers and past and present All-Stars all over social media.
Curry took a pain-killing injection before the game for the first time in his career, though he looked slow early and even covered his head in a towel on the bench late in the first quarter. Then, he hit five 3-pointers in the third quarter to lift Golden State to a 20-point lead and its third straight victory in this frenetic and flashy series.
"I don't know what happened. Something kicked in there," Curry said.
Jarrett Jack added 21 points and nine assists and Andrew Bogut broke out in the first half with 12 points and five rebounds for the sixth-seeded Warriors, who can close out the Nuggets in Game 5 on Tuesday night in Denver.
The Warriors lost All-Star forward David Lee to a season-ending hip injury in Game 1, and Curry sprained his left ankle late in Game 2. Seemingly down and out, Curry has carried the load anyway.
The quick-shooting point guard hit 5 of 8 from beyond the arc in a jaw-dropping third quarter, when nearly every gold-shirt wearing fan in the sellout crowd of 19,596 stood and cheered. Curry scored all 22 points in the final 6:22 of the quarter, showing the kind of range that helped him make 272 3-pointers in the regular season — three more than Ray Allen's record set in 2005-06 with Seattle.
Curry capped his remarkable run with two of his most highlight-reel plays.
He stole the ball from Lawson, stopped in heavy traffic and dropped in a 27-footer before sprinting all the way to the bench high-fiving and chest-bumping teammates. Following a timeout, Curry sprung free near for a corner 3 — looking back right in front of Denver's bench — that gave Golden State a 91-72 lead entering the fourth.
Curry's five 3s in the quarter were a Warriors record for a half.
"It was almost like a boxer that knew he was on the ropes, because it was just a matter of time" Jackson said. "I told him I don't need him to be a hero. Talk about smart coaching. And I guess he realized and sensed it. He captured and embraced the moment. The thing that stood out to me, it was almost as if he had been waiting for this his entire career and he wasn't going to allow his body to tell him it was too hurt to match the moment."
Curry, wearing heavy tape around his nagging ankle, gave fans another scare when Corey Brewer poked Curry in the right eye going for a rebound early in the fourth. He returned about 4½ minutes later, receiving another standing ovation from the home fans and later said his eye wouldn't be an issue.
While Curry scored only seven points in the first half, Bogut broke out in a big way to provide the one-two punch Golden State had long envisioned.
The 7-footer from Australia had three big dunks in the first half, including a thunderous right-handed slam over JaVale McGee. Bogut, who received a technical foul in Game 3 for daring Denver's big man to punch him on the chin during a face-to-face altercation, stared back at McGee while backpedalling down court.
"I just gathered myself and the ankle held up," Bogut said.
Bogut sat out the final 4:37 of the first half with three fouls, and Andre Miller — whose last-second shot in Game 1 is the only thing keeping Denver alive — almost single-handily brought the Nuggets within a bucket. Then Curry hit his first 3-pointer of the game — officially a 27-footer that seemed closer to the scorer's table than the arc — as Golden State scored the last 11 points before the break to go ahead 56-44.
Lawson, who scored a career-playoff high 35 points in the Game 3 loss, rallied from a slow start to highlight a 14-4 run that sliced Golden State's lead to 62-58 midway through the third quarter. Just when it seemed they might crawl back, Curry countered one devastating swish after another to put a major dent in Denver's playoff run.
"We're not doing things right," Miller said. "And they're doing everything right."
NOTES: For the third straight game, Jackson listed Carl Landry at power forward in his starting lineup submitted before the game, even though Harrison Barnes started at power forward and Landry came off the bench. Jackson said beforehand that he'd do it again because "it worked." Karl said it's not what coaches typically do but joked that Jackson is "consistent" and maybe "superstitious." ... Jackson's wife, Desiree Coleman Jackson, sang the national anthem.

The new Metropolitan Central Business District is located southwest of Tianjin. Its key element is the iconic 597m tall, 117 storeys of 117 Goldin Financial tower, which provides international Grade-A office space and a 350-room, five-star luxury hotel at the top.
The tower is characterised by its tapering form and rhythm of sky lobbies. It is crowned by a diamond shaped top that houses a revolving restaurant and exclusive dining. Retail facilities frame the tower to the east and west and provide a generously spacious entrance court and sense of arrival.
Exclusive retail situated to the north offers brand outlets in representative freestanding units. A 37-storey tall 'Mountain Tower' defines the northern boundary of the CBD and provides the visual backing to the 117 tower. Future expansions will include a representative government building to the west and corporate headquarter office buildings to the east and north.
The retail will expand further south, linking across the main vehicular artery to incorporate a mega mall, boutique hotels, serviced apartments and more headquarter office buildings. To the west along the main road, a 20,000-sq-m convention centre and retail will be situated. To the east, the development's entrance will be identified by the 50-storey gateway twin tower on either side of the road.

Heh I just posted yet another Black Triangle Island series in my Dream Journal. I found it really nice. You should read it. We actually did a pretty nice thing by adopting the cute little orphans people abandoned around the world who didn't want them, injecting them with aromantic serum, schooling them, and teaching them how to be nice platonic friends with others and how to behave out in the community. Especially as teenagers.

Money Sucking Vampires Emanating From Your TV: Beware of Cable, Satellite, and DVR Boxes
Noah Horowitz
This week the cable TV industry is having their big annual meeting in Chicago.

This is a pity as the set-top ... [continue reading]

Im getting tired of all the whinning about this being like DBZ and if it goes this way im going to stop reading it bullshit, well if thats how you feel run along no one cares, go read another manga.
I feel that this isnt naruto and sasuke powering up , persay, they are pushing themselves to a limit there body has never been , and in result they are "getting stronger" , i think them fighting each other with all they have is breaking there regular lvl of power and that in turn is making them both stronger, this isnt DBZ lvl 1 2 3 4 5 , super saiyan bullshit.
my 2 cents.

Oh wow this chapter was SO predictable! I mean before it was released I saw like a crap load of threads where people predicted this exact stuff happeneing! Like everyone allready knew that Sasuke would read Narutos movements and send him flying and like everyone knew already that sasuke would acknowledge his strength and like everyone knew already that the kyuubi would give naruto more power, and that like all your complaining is fucking annoying. If you don't like the manga (like many have been saying for the past few chapters) then don't read it. It'll make you a happier person.

you guys are eadily bored, hard for me to be bored by 18 pages of manga. also i think many of you call manga boring when yu read a raw... you are missing half the story... of course its booring. As far as how sharingan works from a hasty translation i read hes using his extra dot + the cursed seal to see farther ahead it seems. BTW no matter how fast you move if someone can predict your movements enough ahead of time they can counter. 60 mile an hour cars easily avoided if you now where its gonna be 10 seconds ahead of time. its like... predicting the right pitch in baseball. Anyhow its true you knew what was gonna happen, but really what else could happen? I think its interesting that naruto was getting beat up, it implies kyuubi isnt all that, at least the way naruto uses it now in spite of whatever boosts it guves him he can still get beat up. also from the trans i read kyuubi indeed gives him power, seems kyuubi like naruto to win.. or fears death maybe. anyhow i figure this battle will get interesting in 2-3 chapters, by then the regular too and fro in power levels should be over.
on a side note, naruto is getting nothing out of this battle but a beating, sasuke is learning new moves, how to better control sharingan, whatever hes gonna learn using seal the first time. naruto is learning... how to let the demon fox take over... and really that will be useless against the right fighters, who will screw up his ability to use the demon or incapacitate him before he can.

I dont know if I would say that Naruto isnt gaining anything from this battle. Honestly he is becoming more mixed with kyuubi and more comfortable in using Kyuubi's chakra. This is a huge advance for Naruto. Everyone was shocked when they saw how well Naruto was in control last chapter. Especially with the power that he was puttin out. Kyuubi seems to be warming up to Naruto know and atleast helping out in whatever way he can.
From this chapter we see that Naruto has been able to mix a little more with Kyuubi. And the more mixing the better!

Wow, I waited a whole week just to read chapter 228 again, that sucks.
The first few chapters of this fight were good, ending with cliffhangers or dramatic pauses, but not its just becoming a powerup fight, soo boring. Kishimoto is dragging this fight out waaayyy to long. It will be 2007 and Kakashi will show up. Last week I was happy that Naruto dropped out of ultra Kyuubi rage and that Sasuke acknolegdged him, maybe something cool would happen. Nope, just chapter 228 again. Stop with this powerup business, either end the fight or have someone interrupt or something, but please for god sakes no more power up battles.

i don't see much control in naruto's use of the kyuubi, so i'm gonna have to disagree with you. it looked to me that kyuubi was saving his ass again by empowering naruto.
also, kyuubi is a bastard that just doesn't want to die. :P. i'm pretty sure he hates everything and everyone; including naruto.

in your previous post you made it sound like naruto was in control of kyuubi, as if using the energy at will. naruto was about to die, kyuubi erupted. i don't see naruto behind the wheel there. if you mean that he's able to form cohesive sentences and not be a complete animal when empowered, then ok, whatever that means.

i wonder if he will tranform like gaara does?
Well the monster inside gaara has some killer juts. I hope we can see some nine tails jutsus. ANd for all wqho say that u need seals to do jutsu rember that rasengan doesnt need it, and the monster inside gaara didnt used seals to use it power. I wonder what kind of jutsu woould nine tails use. I wonder he will become nine tails completely. nine tails in its true form. and with the killer jutsus.

First i love DBZ,and i started to watch Naruto mainly because it was heading in similar direction,fights,not goku or vegita or some characters,its good fighting. And Naruto is a story of its own... it would be disapointing if it comes to noskill and no power and no anything,just jutsus.... Its a diferent story with some characters that can suprise even the strongest ones,and beat them... like kabuto VS Tsunade.... All expected for Tsunade to smash Kabuto into the ground,but it didnt happened that way....
This powerup thing is great to me,i like to see when characters advance (easy or otherwise) in power and skill.....
Sharingan didn't help much Sasuke in this chapter,it was him that could read naruto and predict where he will be in few moments,sharingan just enables him to see him.
I think next few chapters will be Sasuke geting beeten up,with CL2 or not.
Remember that Naruto didnt see any of the transformations,so he dont know what CL2 is... he will be suprised,but i dont think Sasuke stands a chance....

hold on a second, does sasuke even know his eyes have progressed? like, did he know he awakened the sharingan against haku? i say that because right now he seems to think that it's the cursed seal's affect that's giving him the ability to read naruto's movements.

heh, I remember an old thread, where I was telling everyone how the Sharingan's vision works, and everyone told me to stop assuming. It was very obvious how it works. Thank Kishimoto for finally explaining it to those in denial.
Anyway, the Naruto you guys see at the end..........really isn't Naruto, it's Kyuubi

Since i am also getting annoyed by now (that Naruto in the last pic with tail etc just looks rediculous) i think the seal will break soon, Kyuubi will be free, everyone has to join forces (including itachi) so everyone can fight Kyuubi. In the process Orochimaru will die, the face of Kakashi will be revealed and everyone will live happily forever, after they killed the kyuubi. honestly, i just don't care anymore HOW things will turn out, because naruto is loosing too much of it's charm it had in the beginning.

Heh, Kyuubi comments that Naruto should thank the 4th for sealing it inside him...aww, it is enjoying this.
Too bad next chapter will probably be Naruto's beating up Sasuke, and then in the end Sasuke will finally turn Lv2. God, that should've happened a while ago. >_>;;
Too bad it's too little too late...Sharingan isn't going to save his ass from Kyuubi.

Genetic heterogeneity in squamous cell carcinoma
Search Medline for
|April 22, 2008
Introduction: A better understanding of the molecular alterations in different lesions of patients with primary and recurrent squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) may help in defining the best treatment approach.
Methods: We performed a detailed molecular analysis of several tumor specimens obtained from 21 patients presenting with primary and recurrent HNSCC. Tumor specimens were analyzed for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and k-ras mutations by direct DNA sequencing. In addition, a genome-wide chromosomal copy number analysis was performed on DNA extracted from the various lesions using array-based comparative genomic hybridization.
Results: As expected, a similar pattern of chromosomal aberrations was observed in all cases examined, suggesting that they share the same clonal origin. In contrast, we identified different k-ras genotypes among the various lesions from the same patient. The EGFR status was also different between primary and recurrent HNSCC.
Conclusion: Our results indicate, that primary and recurrent HNSCC differ in their genetic profile in terms of k-ras as well as EGFR pathways. Different molecular ("targeted") strategies are therefore necessary to treat patients with recurrent tumors.

RDJ makes Gwyneth laugh
I don't know what he's doing to make her dip her head and cover her face but it's become standard now, whenever they're having their pictures taken together, for him to do something to make her laugh. He's the silly to her sophisticated. Just like Tony and Pepper!
God I love the Tony/Pepper dynamic.
And I loved that scene in The Avengers, when she's in those cut-off denim shorts and the white shirt and Coulson shows up and she takes the champagne glass and gives Tony his homework and ...
Pepper: Is this about the Avengers? Which I know nothing about.
Tony: The Avengers initiative was scrapped, I thought. And I didn't even qualify.
Pepper (guiltily): I didn't know that either.
Tony: Apparently I'm volatile, self-obsessed, and don't play well with others.
Pepper: That I did know.
Yes. I have memorised that scene.
Do you think it's like that between them in real life, only platonic?
And I don't hate these shoes either. That's two in a day! Click here to see the previous pair on Sienna Miller.
G and RDJ were at the Iron Man 3 photo call today in London. The premiere is tomorrow night.

Kim needed to have a planned cesarean due to medical reasons. She decided to use the Hypnobabies Cesarean Birthing Day Set. I was excited to hear about how her birth went and was happy that she let me share her story with you!
Hi mamas,
I've been following the posts but staying mostly quiet as my use for Hypnobabies was quite different than the rest of you.
I'm happy to say that we have a beautiful hypnobaby boy born by cesarean on Jan 5th. Hypnobabies really helped me stay focused and calm and my healing time started before the actual surgery started.
I did temporarily lose it when the anesthesiologist told me dh couldn't stay in for the spinal, something that was really important to me. Then, within seconds, the head doc came in with a big smile and said, "Sure he can" and even joked that 'real' moms leave 24 hrs after surgery these days…LOL. I was shaking still, but quickly went back into my bubble of peace and focused on my baby and at that point didn't even worry about some of the other things I wanted out of the norm.
I pictured my baby's lungs healthy and ready to breath on his own. I pictured him so strong! At times I'd ask where we were (I wanted to be more present as he was born) and I'd visualize what was happening, watching with my mind's eye.
DH was amazing! He whispered our 'word' as well as other key words and phrases Kerry used in the scripts. The surgery was easy (as could be). I had the mirror, but didn't even look when the time came.
My OB honored my request and put my son up to my face all wet and fresh out so I could kiss him, like I would in a normal birth. Because of staffing issues, we were temporarily separated, but dad was with him. Within the hr I was in recovery, baby was latched on and nursing like a pro! I was up walking that night, disconnected from the iv and off meds by morning and discharged after 48 hrs (the min for c/s babies).
Hypnobabies also helped me with the after birth pw's. These are always more intense than pre birth pw's for me and even more so after surgery since I couldn't move or sway through them. I used the relaxing breathing and imagined my uterus doing what it was meant to do for healing which made that so much easier.
I encourage everyone to do whatever possible to have natural vaginal births (having had both, there's no comparison), but do know if circumstances change and you need a cesarean, Hypnobabies really helps!
Thanks for letting me be part of this group!

Officers hospitalized after chase, collision
Four Beaumont police officers and another man were hospitalized Thursday, Jan. 17, after a routine traffic stop turned ugly at the intersection of College Street and Martin Luther King Parkway in Beaumont.
According to a BPD press release, at approximately 3:15 p.m., police stopped a gray Buick for a routine traffic stop in the southbound lanes of MLK Parkway at Franklin Street. The suspect, who police later identified as 19-year-old Ronnie Bobino of Beaumont, fled from the vehicle and into oncoming traffic, according to witnesses on the scene.
When the suspect crossed the grass median with police in hot pursuit, Jonathan Morfin — who was involved in one of two subsequent collisions caused by the pursuit — said he saw the whole thing.
"Cops stopped a guy right there and he took off running and they almost ran the cop over, and the guy, right there," he said, pointing to the southbound lanes of MLK Parkway. "So when we saw him coming, they ran this way and we stopped and he (the truck behind Morfin) didn't get to stop in time."
Two officers were injured as they chased the suspect on foot and were transferred to Baptist Hospital. Police later caught Bobino at the dead end of Milam Street in some tall grass where they found a handgun and marijuana in Bobino's possession, according to the press release.
In the moments after the man fled, two other officers crossed the intersection of MLK Parkway and College Street, striking Jerran Coleman's vehicle, who said he didn't see the police cruiser as it crossed a red light in pursuit of the suspect.
Huddled next to his totaled red Ford Escort, Coleman was visibly shaken.
"I'm going to the hospital," said the 18-year-old LIT student.
Coleman and the third and fourth officers were taken to Baptist hospital by private auto with non-life-threatening injuries.
At least 15 police cruisers were on the scene, directing traffic and helping to remove disabled vehicles near the intersection for at least an hour after the calamity had begun.
Bobino was charged with felony evading arrest, unlawfully carrying a weapon and possession of marijuana, according to the press release.
