Grateful Dead

So here we are, approaching the 40th anniversary of one of the most celebrated tours, one commemorated with a triple album that everyone seems to have purchased. Definitely something to celebrate, especially if you have hundreds of dollars in disposable income to listen to the shows. That's right, cause if you don't then you are #@*^% out of luck, cause NONE of these shows from the Europe 72 tour are available to stream at your leisure on archive.org. At the risk of ranting, I'll just let others share their thoughts on the subject. I'll I can say is I'm disappointed because this goes against the very heart and soul of the deadhead ethos of sharing the music. I remember reading an interview with Jerry in Rolling Stone, where he said, when asked about the Dead's mellow policy about recording their shows, (paraphrase) "When we're through performing, it's as much theirs [deadheads] as it is ours [the band]. They were part of making it happen afterall." Indeed!
