Official Grateful Dead Thread

Thanks for all the reading suggestions! I have lots to look forward to now. :thmbsp: I guess I was most curious about Jerry's childhood and his introduction to playing music. It sounds like he was in to it from the git-go!
 
Just bought that yesterday. I don't have a lot of mono recordings, but I really like this one!

It does sound pissa dammit. I knew this would happen.
Now I'm tempted to replace some of my perfectly good LPs with perfect NEW ones :nono:
 
Playin, playin in the car:

Electric Theater, Chicago on April 26, 1969

Some was released on DP 26
I played the Charlie Miller master full show :tresbon:

Here's a 1st for my record collection.....

Stopped at a garage sale today.....
Lady had an old Wurlitzer jukebox with a few 33 LPs on top.

Beatles White album (completely scratched up)...shes asking $20 for it...I told her this condition is what I turn my nose up at goodwill for $1.50....!
couple other Beatles albums...same scratched-up crap.

Then I spot this Red Covered album with what looks like some woman coming out of a casket on it and in big letters on the front spelling out..... "L I V E.....D E A D"........that I'm not familiar with.

She wanted $5.....

I gave her $4
original pressing 1970 albums were in great shape....
My 1st DEAD album...!

I've only started getting albums about 2 years ago.
I do have a couple CD's of the Dead, some tapes and one of my favorite CD's "old and in the way".

My main source for records is the thrifts, so I take what I find and I just NEVER see any Grateful Dead at the thrifts.

You got to get there before me next time! :smoke:
 
Got my "The Golden Road" box set today in the mail and thoroughly enjoying these HDCD remasters. "Live Dead" on now and "Workingman's Dead" and Disc One of "Europe 72" have already been played.

I've got the green label vinyl of all this stuff, but these HDCDs are really nice :thmbsp:

Awesome set :thmbsp:

My favorite versions of Easy Wind & Viola Lee Blues are in there somewhere.

I made a 3 CD set of the extras.

Cleaned the 2 albums tonight and after a quick rubbin down and air drying....
que'd up Side 4....Song 1 ....Weighing in at 23 minutes 18 seconds ....(entire side of the album)

"Dark Star" (Garcia, Hart, Kreutzmann, Lesh, McKernan, Weir, Robert Hunter) –
Dark Star was taken from the February 27, 1969 show at the Fillmore West..
I wanted to check this side because it had what appeared to be a VERY LARGE scratch running almost completely from the outside to the Dead wax.

Suprisingly, .....must have just been a surface marking.....it played through with just a couple clicks and pops. (I do not own a RCM....just got a spin clean for my rookie habit).

Dark Star Live on this album is just classic classic Grateful Dead....being familar with this song from a best-of CD ("What a long strange Trip") got me a little goosebumpy listening to the uninterrupted flow of echoing guitars and then that Vocal A-cappella harmony part....just classic.

Can't wait to hear the other 3 sides!
