Joined:Thanks Jonathan!Ratdog at Roseland. Listened to the show to and from hiking. I had forgot about the sax player he had on that tour. I haven't listened in forever. I think I saw them at House of Blues in Cleveland that tour. My friend cracked me up at the show when he said Kenny Brooks looked like French Stewart.
Oh, and it's during Ashes and Glass with the Dark Star tease. - Don B

Joined:You don't know JackWhite unless you know his new one. Which is called Frozen Charlotte, for some reason. Might be his best solo record so far. For me this is his strongest set of songs since Blunderbuss, just as rocking' as No Name. Tight band, solid riffs, Jack's trademark sense of humor. Giddyup.
Also paid a visit to the Frost '85 DaP. Jerry does indeed sound like he's been gargling gravel, but his guitar is dazzling.

Last one from the Spring 1990 box. Good stuff, but wish they woulda used the multitracks like the did for the follow-up box. Although, not sure my sixty-year-old ears would know the difference.
Sitting outside for the first time in a week. Was brutally hot and humid, then we had the Canadian wildfire smoke for a couple days. They postponed the baseball game from last night because of the air quality, so we went to the make-up day game today.
Should be able to do some hiking tomorrow. It'll be nice to have some lows in the 60s (and maybe high 50s), in the AM next week.
Someone, Jonathan?, mentioned it earlier, so Ratdog: Live at Roseland is next in the queue.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone! - Oroborous

Not sure how this will sell? So much biased inaccuracies out there so maybe not a huge seller, though DaP 49 sold out pretty fast. My guess, it’ll sell out but you probably have a little time? Good Luck! I wanna talk more 85 but don’t have time… - JoeyMC
Joined:Currently listening to...7/18/76 I really like this one. This whole run is pretty unique. It grew on me a little as I went through it. I listened to Dave's 18 a few times over.
I hope this box doesn't sell oot before I order one, sometimes 80's stuff doesn't go that fast. This one might though? - Oroborous

I will try to remember to look for that KC video as I’m hoping to check out 6/9/91 on the tube of you, todays selection, currently spinning…
Went to this with the “20 year old” and crazy ass Howard.
Guy could eat ‘“chicklet’s and function like you’d have a coffee) and what a driver! Never worried with Cap’n Howard at the helm, under any circumstances.
Kinda Neal like, how he never got pulled over (he would often go really fast) that ole GD magic I suppose?
Not sure I really knew much about the Violent Fems? Just probably closed minded wrote them off, ya know, “punk is junk” etc That would change, and years later even played a cool version of Kiss Off in a sorta alt country Bluegrass type band, with electric Banjo etc
Man was it interesting watching them at a huge Dead show. Some of their lyrics being a, less than hippie love fest idealistic etc, some folks were freaking out a bit, though more, us included, were laughing our areses off, old electric Howie especially lol
Definitely one of those under the radar and sorta lost in the years shows that listening now ya go, damn, “not too shabby” in a Adam Sandler voice lol
The R&C was nice, but if listen critically I can see why it wasn’t continued as a “Dead” song.
But another fine show from a solid tour!

S-F-H that’s sounds cool, really interesting…like some Elizabethan Burroughs cut ups?

The Grateful Dead Movie
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.
10/9&10/76
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
DMCVT
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.
Deets, 6.17.75
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
Live footage
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.

Hey, a thorough examine requires all crevices!
Spirit Of '76
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!).

I remember we got a very memorable early version of
"victim or the crime" acoustic solo by Bob

this was the only time I got to watch
John Cipollina play guitar
and I remember the light show was really cool also

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
3/1/69
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…
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...
Giants , Dodgers here to Nappy
I do believe we are rooting for different teams.
Jerry says they'll make Hey Jude up as they go ...
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.
"Billy's banger's busted"
Name that show and win!
Dicks Picks No. 18
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.
3 23 72
Very hot show
Welcome to the Canteen
An absolute favorite.
Travis Beam - Wolf
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.
Uncle Tripel & Capital theater
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.

3/35&26/95 today
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?
Late Era Shows and SBDS
I wonder why that is? My guess is Latvala just wasn't passing those around but it's just a guess.
2-27-69 vinyl
Didn’t get to it on the anniversary so doing it now.
12-inch Klipsch subwoofer makes Phil the star.
93-95 SBD’s
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.
PITB...

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.
Look down angel
