     You guys are (I hate to say it) spoiled.  Maybe if you didn't see
and hear (tapes) so many concerts you wouldn't be so picky.  They say,
'familiarity breeds contempt.'  I think its a case of too much of a good
thing.  I would be happy to hear Throwing Stones => Not Fade Away or => Black
Peter.  They both sound like interesting and probably enjoyable
combinations. 

     I know it sounds like I want no criticism of the Dead and that
everything they do is always wonderful.  Of course thats not true, but
when you consume every single piece of music they produce you are bound
to be dissatisfied.  If you are sick of hearing this jam or that, try
missing a few shows (I know you dont see every show, but you would want
to, wouldn't you).  If you smell a rose too long, you cant smell it
anymore.
