After 19 wonderful years of marriage that ended too soon, I’ve decided to step out into Dusty’s spotlight to thank all of his fans, colleagues and friends for the overwhelming outpouring of love for The Dust. It makes me hopeful he will not be forgotten. He was the kindest, most gentle and caring man a woman could ever Hope to find in a lifetime. Many don’t believe in fairy tale marriages but Dusty and I truly lived one! We were inseparable. He wasn’t supposed to leave me or all of you. That wasn’t the plan he and I had. The plan was for another round of physical therapy, with a different approach, to help his chronic bursitis. The plan was he would return to the second leg of the tour in September. Early Wednesday morning my world and yours would lose a great musician and I would lose my greatest love. He woke me up and we talked and as he was sweetly chatting with me he suddenly stopped and he was gone in an instant. So, while I feel numb and lost and alone and in a million pieces, I know he will always be with me in my heart and soul and I will join him when the Lord calls me home to be with them. It is my hope you will always keep him in your hearts. He loved his fans and always remembered that without fans music is not heard. So, know he truly appreciated each and every one of you. Dusty was an avid tv and movie buff…always quoting lines and so I share an embellished quote from “This Is Us” as my last love letter I send with him to his final resting place. My Sweet Dusty, The single most extraordinary thing I have ever done in my life is fall in love with you. The single most extraordinary gift I have ever received in my life was for you to ask me to marry you. I have never been seen so completely, loved so passionately and protected so fiercely. I will be with you again.Love you to infinity and back. Your wife,Chuck I will lay my husband to rest tomorrow. I would ask that you look to the heavens at noon and wish Dusty Godspeed. With great love, respect and appreciation to Dusty’s fans, colleagues and friends, Mrs. The Dust

It sounds like he might've had a heart attack or something since bursitis wouldn't be a fatal ailment. At least he passed away with little additional pain despite the discomfort from the bursitis, and he got to do it while having a final, peaceful chat with his wife.

I know, I saw Mrs. Dust's FB post yesterday and teared up too.
― Three Rings for the Elven Bishop (Dan Peterson), Tuesday, 3 August 2021 18:18 (two years ago) link
It's kind of sweet how she quotes This Is Us - not because I'm a fan of the show, but because I would never picture Dusty watching it every week. And now you can kind of see the two of them doing that together because that's their thing, they're in love and he can learn to love that show the way she loves it too.
― birdistheword, Tuesday, 3 August 2021 18:57 (two years ago) link
(Actually I'm told it's supposed to be a good show - I never saw it because it looked too sentimental for my tastes, but maybe I'll give it a shot one of these days.)

Youtube threw this at me, a pretty good quality audience tape from '71

Only a few tracks in at the moment. Dusty just tore some shit up on something called "Ride Away', a bastardization of the old Chuck Willis/Elvis "Feel So Bad".

Well, fuck, that'll teach me to do more research. I genuinely had no idea that the notorious 1987 Six Pack remixes were all that was available for the longest time. I had a Barnes & Noble gift card to burn and they had the first six albums on CD for super cheap (now I know why). The Fandango and Tres Hombres are both the newer versions that corrected the remix issue, but apparently I've got four other discs of pure garbage now.

The Six Pack only screwed up the albums up through Tejas. Deguello wasn't included in the set for some reason, so it wasn't tinkered with, and the included El Loco was already New Wave enough to not get remixed.
― “Heroin” (ft. Bobby Gillespie) (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 12 August 2021 17:46 (two years ago) link
Good to know about Deguello, thanks! I had assumed that was in the set given the chronology.

I love how that live 1980s Rockpalast live album opens with a little Spaghetti Western fanfare version of Dmitri Tiomkin’s “El Degüello” from Rio Bravo, which was later drawn upon by Ennio Morricone at Sergio Leone’s request for the theme from A Fistful of Dollars.

yeah, i am very glad i picked up the no frills boxset of all their albums that fixed the isses re the previous reissues.that said, i could totally love a cd of various remixes that must have come out during the drum machine years.

I'm hoping that bare bones studio box gets in stock again soon.

it's not available !? i only mentioned it cos i thought it was still easy to buy.~ checks amazon ~ oooh.

FWIW, the Spotify versions of the first five use the correct mixes.

It was easy to buy before Dusty died (I mentioned earlier that I had it in my Amazon "save for later" cart), but it immediately doubled, then nearly tripled in price before being out of stock.

cant imagine any of these being better than the originals but ill giver a listen regardless
― Spottie, Tuesday, 19 July 2022 19:09 (one year ago) link
Yeah it's not gonna supplant the original versions, but that's a grade-A setlist and the sound on this seems good to me on the teaser. I'll check it out.
