Official Grateful Dead Thread

[libertycaps]

Congrats, fellers. Hopefully, the Nanny Coast gets delivery on Monday. I've been waiting for an official of this for at least a decade.

I wonder where DP34 might be available (besides eBay)? Dead.net is sold out.

sadly that means eBay is likely your only option. Because Dave’s Picks are limited editions and always sell out, they tend to command a premium on eBay, too. But right now is the worst time to buy 34 on eBay. Gotta wait for people to forget about it

Nice. Mines 2K# something arrived today in a quad fold cardboard pack. Cool. We are a dying breed. Supporting more real releases. HashtagBreed.

I'm sure the regulars here are aware of this if not I highly recommend "Shakedown Streams" being offered up by the Dead organization on YouTube. This past Friday they uploaded the full show from Foxboro, MA 7/2/89

The production & sound quality is top notch, the boys are in great form, great spirits, locked & loaded and lots of smiles. A rollicking gem of a show with a killer set list from beginning to end. Seriously check out the opening song selections for both sets, out of character & brilliant at the same

Random thoughts:

Wang Dang Doodle, early on, set the tone for the rest of the show "Tonight we get no rest" indeed!!!!.

Brent Mydland was the man!!! you'll know what I'm talking about when he comes to the fore in the 2nd set during He's Gone & Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude. His & Jerry's interplay is outstanding.

Bobby proves yet again what a boss he could be when he was in top form as showcased in Sugar Magnolia

Enjoy!, share with friends who get it and with friends who don't. This would be a great introduction to the magic that was a Grateful Dead show in all it's spectacular glory. The boys were in sync and on fire this night!!!

Picked up Dave's 34. Excellent sound. A really "out there" show with "Seastones" and a "Dark Star Jam."

From a different thread. Any other suggestions?

You're the perfect person to ask ...can you please recommend what you think are the best live versions of China cat Sunflower,
Help on the way , or Sugaree ... by that I mean good long improvised guitar solos. The endless variety of all the standard cover songs like Good Lovin and that sort of thing don't interest me I'm more into the essence of what the Dead really are at their best

Here's a good China/Rider - same show as the Sunshine Daydream movie
Any China/Rider from the Europe 72 tour or a good 73 or 74 show will get it done.
Early Dick's Picks will likely have ultimate-ish versions

Nutty Riv3r on YT used epic performances and mid-77 was a highlight

Speaking of Nutty Riv3r

Here's a popular Sugaree - featured on Dick's Picks Vol. 29
Fox Theatre shows were highlights and this is mid-77
This version is mellow. I like rockin but this is nice

This is my favorite Scar/Fire and a whole lotta ppl agree
Great middle era GD essence right here

 

[Mowgli]

Love the mid-late 70's Capital Theatre concerts on YT...
Ten Years After, Funkadelic, David Bromberg and I just found this

 

[Mowgli]

Premiering now
Great sound & video
playing Truckin right now

Still sealed album pulled from a stack of free records.

DaP 34 is a textbook chill, let's get mellow Set I to a unbelievable inspired and firey Set II pre-hiatus show. Just stunning.
Any speculation for 35? Or are most of us content to stream whatever? Of course, it's now a glorious brave new world of access as a Dead Head....but damn is a lazy, low bit-rate new world.
