Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

He has lost some vocal range.. no comparison to what he could do in his 20's.. but hey, it's Grateful Dead, do we really show up for the vocals?

To summary my comments, I think he has made a hell of a rebound from the way he was playing five years or so ago, I was focusing on his guitar playing. At least that's been my observation and I am have not always historically been the biggest Bob fan..

I have the subscription, but my buddy waited too late. I told him to set an alarm so he'd not miss out ala carte, not sure if he did. If he did not and you're extra is still available, I am sure he'd be stoked to score one.

Thanks,

Bob

Back in the fall my wife and I were on the cross sound ferry going from New London to Orient Point when the announcement for Dave's Picks 2019 subscription came out. In my excitement to make sure I ordered it before it was sold out I somehow accidentally ordered 2 subscriptions. If you got shut out of this and want one let me know send me a message. I will charge just 1/4 of what i paid for... bob t

What a great show this is. I love how they Jam like Santana on the other one. There's also a little tighten up in the disco dancing. Those fantastic vocals on Candyman. Every track is terrific. Some people were talking about their favorite show from 30 trips a couple of weeks ago. I might go with this one. Or The Lindley Meadows show from 75. It's a crime they didn't play a little bit longer on that one. I think they were and eyes of the world 4 hey playing in the band short of a full-blown masterpiece on that one. Or a blues from Allah

Thanks for the info ie 2-27, I was not able to find Dave's video and now I have been sent the email with it so will fire that up and check out what else he has to say about this fine release. Am looking forward to this one, lets just hope it comes defect free. As far as 77, just 10-29 remains on my list of should be released in all it's glory.

That is a bold statement led to say that Bobby is singing better than ever. He sounded pretty damn good in 1971 and 1972. And 1973. And 1974 through 1977. And most of 1978. But I feel you, and I'm glad you're enjoying Cowboy Bob.

I can't wait to hear him sing his first Estimated Prophet on this Dave's Picks shows up on my doorstep next week.

I would also be honoured if Dave put one of my paintings on his wall. Anyone who's seen the beginning of Elmo's World would appreciate my talents.

...hello vguy72, Daves studio walls are littered with ‘dusky diamond jewels’, it would be an honor and dream come true if Dave ever grace one of my paintings for the dead on his studio wall. I also like his ‘Movie Posters’ as well. Miracles can come true, so I’ll keep working toward my dream... have a grateful day folks! :)
Ps. oh yeah , straight crooked upside down and even sideways would be ok with me! Lol ha ha ;)

....since you brought him up, I wish he would slow down a little, and play Vegas. My 2 cents.

I concur with Led. In fact.. I think Bob is playing better than he has in years. His vocals are slipping a bit.. but hey.. it's the Grateful Dead. I personally think he is playing as strong a lead (at least from what I have heard) then he has since he had a Gibson strapped to his shoulder.

Keep in mind.. I am not traditionally a Bobby guy. If you are on the fence, go for it.. just beware the ticketmasterdickheads.

As for Morning Dew.. I had this post written last night about that song and some feral cat, apparently living in my house and eating my food pranced across my keyboard and nuked it.. It was one of the longer posts I have written and I spent a considerable amount of time on it. Then.. just like the Bumpasses hounds that ruined Christmas dinner in A Christmas Story, it was gone in a flash and a shithead cat had escaped with the goods. if I get the energy I will rewrite it, but for now its gone. No, Morning Dew not filler.. it's killer. I roast my own coffee and the only coffee mug I will ever drink from is my Morning Brew mug I got from Dead.net about ten years ago (back when they sold good merch).

In response to an inquiry that was thrown out there, Bob is playing great and actually singing better than ever. Despite the amazing chops of the younger guys, not to mention the drummers, I see Bob as the heart and soul of Dead & Co. Call me crazy (I've been called worse), but I see these guys going until Bob hangs it up. And then, it really won't ever be the same. See you in Boulder!
