Official Grateful Dead Thread

I also re-subscribed. I have subscribed every year they offered it. VERY much looking forward to the 77 DeKalb show, that’s a great one, and being from the newly recovered Betty reels it should sound better than we have ever heard.

Give it another 5-10 years and practically every A+/A 1977 show recorded will be officially retail released. There were only 60 of them. At least 30 are good enough to retail.

Day after the arrest in New Orleans.
Unplanned acoustic set midway through the show due to Phil's amp blowing.

Have never, ever seen such an intimate connection "GD" had with the audience! It's like they were as one. Both carried each other as the night went along.

Never had the chance to take in any of their concerts, unlike the "Deadheads" who followed them from city to city. What a passionate group they must have been.

Along with "The Doors", "The Grateful Dead" were ones that I sadly missed.

Q
 
Last night I had a touch of insomnia. High Time was playing in my head. So I put it on and gave it good listen. Followed up with Stravinsky's Firebird Suite and then assorted Bach to lull me back to sleep.
 
Couple more DaP32 spins in: The only fault here is the occ. lyric flub. But with improv. (esp. live) music, coming in is oft a subjective thing and that's kinda what they do, tbh.

big GD fan from way back (saw my first shows in 72) ...
I'm doing a 30 day trial of qobuz so I just did a search - 231 choices turned up - most with a Hi-Res Audio tag!
All the usual studio releases, of course, 50th Anniversary of Aoxomoxoa, among others,
but they look to have a lot of the newer releases like Cornell 5/8/77, "Complete Road trips",
Europe '72 Vol. 22 - Lyceum, Europe '72 Vol.11 - L'olympia, Paris ...
That must be part of that Europe '72 mega-package with ALL the shows from that tour!!
I fell in love with the Dead from the original Europe '72 album ...
I could spend some time listening to that megapack!
 
Okay, home now - saw a show listed on Qobuz - "Wake Up to Find Out" Nassau Coleseum 3/29/90 - played Bird Song and was blown away - Branford Marcellus!!
Listening to "Eyes of the World" now - this is some of the best Dead jams I've heard in a long time!
Okay - just checked it at Dead.net
https://store.dead.net/wake-up-to-find-out-nassau-coliseum-3-29-90-3-cd.html
Guess I've been out of the loop too long - I gather it WAS simply available there as a high res download -
(but not available to buy today!) - and not as a 3 CD package like some other shows I bought there in the past.

Weird - even hi-res FLACs are not available today (?) Not In Stock?
Why NoSale when digital files can always be available ...
I left an email to be notified when it may be available again (?)

Wake Up To Find Out: Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 3/29/1990 (3CD) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LNT6E2U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_5rYZDb1Y5CPZG
Amazon (no affiliation) still has some copies of that great show. I love the Eyes of the World which i first heard on the compilation album Without A Net.
