It will be Ebola-infected ISIS terrorists being carried across the border on the backs of illegal aliens with calves the size of cantaloupes.

Dave's Picks subscription for 2015 now up and ready for pre-order. Still $100 with free shipping for subscribers. DP #14 will be 2/24/74 (sorry, mountain bed, that is about 10 years off). http://www.dead.net/store/music/live-shows/daves-picks-2015-subscription Edit: FWIW, this show is apparently a month or so before the debut of the Wall of Sound, so it reportedly has a vibe that is more late '73 than '74. I may or may not have a copy of it at home, not sure. I know I have one of this run, but it might be 2/22 or 2/23.

There is another thread in the Tongue-Tied Lightning forum. Maybe the mods can merge them?

Here's a little calming news about the whole Ebola "crisis." http://www.aol.com/article/2014/10/24/federal-officials-say-dallas-nurse-nina-pham-is-free-of-ebola/20983605/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmaing9%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D551503 http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ebola-virus-outbreak/why-has-nurse-amber-vinson-recovered-ebola-so-quickly-n232431 http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-81738992/

Looks like he beat that whole "terminal cancer" thing. Never let a doctor tell you how long you're going to live! http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-29733309

Looks like these keep trickling out: http://www.stereogum.com/1713718/bob-dylan-tupelo-john-lee-hooker-cover-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/

Wow, what a great resource! Of course, it's subjective, but this gives me a place to start. I know I have missed out on some great '74 shows, and now I have a better idea of which ones to check out. Surprised he ranked 9/20 even as high as he did. But he's got 6/18 and 8/6 in his top ten shows for the year list, so I respect his opinion automatically. Not sure which of the others I have, but I will check at home.

I personally like the looks of that first night set list better (Cars Can't Escape! Magazine! Plus perennial favorites Via Chicago, Break Yer Heart and of course Misunderstood...), but both nights look pretty damn stellar. Wish they were making a Florida run, but I guess I will have a lot to look forward to next year when my wife and I venture northward for Solid Sound.

Now, that looks like some prime '74! Thanks for the upload. I just looked at Steel Cut Oats last night to see if they had added anything since last month, but no... Been working my way through 9/20/74, emphasis on the word "work." Not much worthwhile here, unless you want to find the least rocking version ever of One More Saturday Night. Decent early Scarlet and a nice Row Jimmy, but that's about it. Some real clunkers, and not much that rises to the typically excellent level of '74 (the Grateful Dead Movie soundtrack, 6/18, 8/6, etc. etc.) Put this one at the bottom of your '74 list, folks.

I am a sucker for these releases only because I have a small Amazon store, and I'll willingly resell anything I don't think is worth keeping on disc (although I typically do burn a copy of the files for myself and archive them on an external hard drive). It's a bit of a chore, but I can justify the upfront expense if I can get most or all of my $ back. If I felt I really could not, or should not, resell them, I could never justify the expense - $115 per year on Dead bootlegs, when I already have hundreds of shows? My wife would have a stroke. The Dave's Picks have been mostly 1970s, but not

I believe that their goal is to get more subscribers and thereby be able to justify raising the number of available subscriptions without having to sit on a backlog of unsold discs. Someone on Dead.net posted that there are only a few hundred copies available after each subscription is accounted for, so that's why they sell out quickly. Not sure how accurate this is, but the idea seems to be 1) Buy the subscription so as not to miss out and, 2) We (the Dead org) can keep upping the number of subscriptions available each year. Seems to work. I was soured on it at first, and complained quite a

I suspect that they are somewhat hit or miss live, though they have been excellent both times I've seen them. I would recommend going based on my experience, but who knows. YMMV

Chris Robinson Brotherhood show will be webcast tomorrow night: https://screen.yahoo.com/live/event/chris-robinson-brotherhood

Awesome. Going to see him again this Saturday.

It's from that tour, but not Atlanta. I was at the Atlanta show, and it featured the first Dark Star > California Stars > Dark Star, but no St. Stephen. I would guess it's from 8/4/13, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, CA.

Here is the first preview of this material I have found online: http://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/bob-dylan-the-band-dress-it-up

By the way, there are already some Ebola patients recovering from the disease here in the U.S., so it's not exactly a death sentence. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/local/emorys-third-ebola-patient-says-shes-recovering-wi/nhj38/ I suspect that the nurses who contracted it will also have a good shot at recovery. From what I saw of their photos on the news, they look reasonably young and healthy. I agree with KevinG that the media really is causing a lot of the hysteria surrounding the whole thing.

Because I have lived here in Florida for the past 20 years, I feel that I have the right to say that the guy is an absolute douchrocket. Sorry if that offends anyone on here, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em. Not thrilled with Crist, but I'd rather suffer through another term of his than another term from Skeletor.

Holy crap, that looks hilarious.

Yeah, I caught that, too. That's gotta sting a little.

I'm surprised that TX is even accepting help from the CDC. Isn't there a big secession movement in TX? I guess that evil old federal government does come in handy once in a while, despite what Rick "Oops" Perry says...

http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/14/6979103/bono-apologizes-for-putting-u2s-new-album-in-everyones-icloud-library I gotta give Bono credit for this apology. Everything he said sounds sincere and spot on. He could have just been a dick and said, "Hey, it was free, if you don't want it, delete it," but he chose the high road. Good for him.
