| Grateful Dead Dave's Pick's Volume 48 ......time to put a fork in this ! Well if you don't like the reissues you don't actually have to buy them. I know David and he is a super nice guy and passionate about the Dead and his work. Let him have his fun I say. | |

| What news in 2023 struck you? +1 @viridian Fremer to TAS seemed sacrilegious lol. And @roxy54 I didn't know Salk retired sad news. I'd say the sale of ARC was a big one and I am personally curious about the recent sale of Roon to Harman though I am not a Roon user. | |
