Grateful Dead

Lol, just a wee bit more throttle than earlier!

Great show

Worth a listen

Scotty needs more power
We need more GD70 releases!!!

Finally... had the chance to watch the blu-ray on an extreme high end 5.1 home theater set up. I knew the incremental improvement to the video, however the audio quality on a system capable of such resolution was outstanding, kudos to those involved with remastering that. We do not have enough high quality video from pre hiatus days.

Too much going on yesterday so rewind on the 9 and of course ya can’t stand on just one leg lol
Good working music…putting some cabs and shelving in laundry hall

DMCVT: “extreme high end” system?
Ya peeked my geek!
send me deets

Yes, the Blue Ray from 2005 is outstanding. Also love the added DVD with bonus footage, interviews, etc

Not sure if there is anything else out there before 1974, that hasn't come out already. The 72 partial Denmark show and the Sunshine daydream release.

Would be great if there is something else out there.

Oro, deets sent, mostly B&W top line powered by Bryston top line on Oppo player, 7.2 format. We also listened to most of Winterland 6.17.75 which I hope will be released in remastered form some day soon

l wonder if there is any more footage form that train journey from 1970. The rest of the set at Woodstock would be interesting too.

Shrine On You Crazy Diamond!

Edit: didn’t get best listen to the 14, but sounded tour status quo (good) but less fireworks than the Oakland pair. Same with the 15 until the second set….
Yowsa! Supposedly WTJ and others suggest no last tape available, shame
These two would make a fine two for…

Onward to the 2nd set - adding in the sublime Morning Dew from the next night in Santa Barbara.

Hey, a thorough examine requires all crevices!

aka the bonus disc from the New Years Eve 1976 Live at the Cow Palace. At Oro's suggestion sort of. It has two songs off the latest release! The Let it Grow > Might as Well. Likely have not played this CD since I got it BITD I'm guessing. A bounty of treasures on that shelf.
Cheers
I'm seeing this was a Dave trial balloon or sampler of sorts as all the selections have been released in later incarnations of Road Trips and Dave's Picks. Includes 6-9-76, 10-2-76, and 9-24-76 (this Playin'>Supplication>Playin' is cool!).

:)))

Finally getting to this one from Boxilla.
Not too shabby…actually, pretty good so far! (Drumz)
First 2 nights enjoyable also!

China Cat > Cumberland.

3-9-85 104962.sbd.miller

Sound quality isn’t great but sounds better than the cassette I had years ago.

It also has a Cumberland

Heard on the drive home just now

Right now? The Dickey Betts Tribute, live streaming on nugs.

...39 years ago tonight
The Fes and I took the 2 hour drive
to the capitol theater in passaic NJ
for some FUN
@ the trips festival
with ZERO & SOUNDS of SAN FRANCISCO
and KINGFISH with BOBBY

I remember we got a very memorable early version of
"victim or the crime" acoustic solo by Bob
and a very cool "easy to slip"
this was the only time I got to watch
John Cipollina play guitar
and I remember the light show was really cool also

so without further delay

First up this morning - uncirculated Betty Board of 10/7/80 - np To Lay Me Down

Interestingly the acoustic set (which is super sweet!) was the second offering from this week's Tapers Section. Coinkydink??

Lucky to own the Fillmore box so i've managed to spin both 2/27 & 2/28 today, as I have the house to myself. This box is pure magic!!

Hopefully 3/1/69 and 3/2/69 tomorrow

Rock on, gang

I played this one yesterday. A Rocket to the Moon. I always miss off Hey Jude at the end, though. Maybe I should give it another go - I might be pleasantly surprised. Although it's not a song I like, generally. Apart from the Wilson Pickett version with that blistering solo by Duane Allman.

I'm listening/watching the Dodger - Giants spring training game...later today after the game I plan to deep dive into my Charles Mingus collection...

I do believe we are rooting for different teams.

and they do (!) It's OK in spots and Ouch in others - the only blemish on an otherwise Great show.

So IMO, no DaveRock you're not missing much ... Stick with Wilson Pickett and Carry on.

Name that show and win!

This afternoon was February 3, 1978, Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin. Makes me want to jump back into the Friend of the Devils box. Jerry has a more brittle but 'grabbier' tone than '77, which I assume is from trading the Travis Beam out for Wolf? Either way, the dissonance is a little spookier, ghostlike. Works great in the space segments.

Very hot show

An absolute favorite.

Fivebranch - going off photographs and sound, it seems Jerry started using the Wolf in Fall 1977. I agree - a much hotter sound than that of 1976 and the first half of 1977.

Our small band of wanderers were there.

My greatest memory is Zero playing the greatest ever "She's Not There". When they came out of the jam my head exploded (and not with dark forebodings).

I might have that show.

Love Welcome to the Canteen.
My go to for 40,000 Headmen.
One of my oldest LP bought used.
Lots of scratches & pops for authenticity, lol.
Cheers

The Grateful Dead at their best!

Tasty little show

Thelma bonus disc

3/24/95 yesterday: not bad, JG muffs a couple vocals but plays well and seems good overall. Can’t believe how many late era shows don’t have SBs?
JC must have not been giving board patches?

I wonder why that is? My guess is Latvala just wasn't passing those around but it's just a guess.

Didn’t get to it on the anniversary so doing it now.

12-inch Klipsch subwoofer makes Phil the star.

Many/most that I’ve heard that are labeled ‘SBD’ are actually ear monitor.
I read years ago that the ear monitors were run by a separate soundboard on side stage which is why you can hear the band members talk to each other.
I don’t think that they sound as good as a true ‘SBD’.
I suspect that the true SBD’s do exist, due to the ease at the time of just recording to a HD, and they are being withheld.

A lot to do today!
3/17/95 currently
3/18&19/95 Shlater…

RE: Late era SBs…
I’m guessing John Cutler wasn’t letting folks patch in direct for whatever reason. I would certainly assume they made recordings.
I.e., Like the DATs used for the released DaPs…
Yeah, Harry Popick, the longtime monitor guy (at big mix desk left of Phil) might have been eventually delegated to making recordings? That would make it less likely for direct feeds to tapers…I’m guessing he must have had a master mix for guests or himself (he can hear any of the mixes individually or any combination) since the individual musician mixes were custom, which often did not include all the other musicians and definitely would have had things in their mix at different levels so a feed like that would probably sound pretty goofy to a civilian? i.e., smidge of kick drum, low bass, loud vocals, yours a tad louder, JG, no Vinny…you can customize it any way you like.
Now if someone had a comprehensive, balanced mix, THAT, could sound good, but in my experience, most musicians don’t want everything, or certain things up in their mix, if in it at all.
BITD we didn’t have in ears, so you often would just put certain things in your floor monitor mix, since you’d still hear most of the instruments etc from their amps (and often the PA) I mostly had vocals, a little kick drum, and any acoustic instruments I couldn’t other wise hear. It gets easily cluttered up so you learn to use just what you really need. But they of course were on a whole different level utilizing dozens of channels all custom mixed to their preferences.
Very interesting though? We’ll have to learn more about it.
There definitely are monitor mixes on arch labeled as SBs, but you’d have to think they have better stuff than that in the vault.
PLUS!, remember, this is the digital age now and folks were starting to bring in some serious digital gear by the end…so I can see the band not allowing direct hi res board feeds to such gear, which you could only really guarantee by not having any direct feeds. Pesky DH pranksters would find a way given the opportunity lol
Berry interesting…

Oh, yeah they had a talk feature so they could communicate verbally if need be, which since certain individuals didn’t have everyone in there mix could be helpful,., it was fun when occasionally that would accidentally get into the main PA mix and we’d hear it out front.

"Tempest" by Bob Dylan. How come he has made so many great albums ? Most people I know haven't made any.

7/29/74 bonus disc

Because it's way Way WAY better than engaging with anything else that might be available/ongoing this evening.
