He continues “my real interest was the late 60s to mid 70s”

Lots of bush back then. Dramatically different compared to our contemporary dick pic era.

How do we trade on this information?

Man, wonder what kind of guy Trump would have turned out to be if he did LSD and grew some kind of empathy complex... That universe probably has UBI by now.

Glad you caught that, this is why I come to WSB, for the deep analysis those fat cats on Bloomberg won’t talk about

u/GratefulG8r 10h ago

Thing is there were plenty of volumes of Dicks Picks from late 60s and mid 70s shows. Some of the best in fact. Powell is a fucking casual

Condemning jpow for not being into either disco or Brent? I love disco and hate Brent so I'm not saying he speaks the unvarnished truth here but it's a defensible opinion

u/GratefulG8r 4h ago

Oh I hate Brent, barely listen to any 80s.

u/prthead55 12h ago

I believe they're talking about the Grateful Dead live albums called "Dick's Picks". They were put together from fanmade recordings of concerts by Dick Latvala.

u/FlyingDiscsandJams 10h ago

Close, they use the simple 2 track recording the sound crew made every night.

JPOW is just saying he's an audience tape guy, he likes to hear the roar of the crowd.

2

u/DevinBelow 6h ago

Dude is definitely a chomper, and wants to hear himself in the recordings.

"That guy you hear yelling YEAH BOBBY, during Sugar Mags, was me!"
