Vol 1 gets you weather Report
Vol 3 you get Terrapin, Wharf Rat and Morning Dew.
3 is the one of my favorites.

I recall yes. I had that CD when it was new. That was 97. No longer have the CD however I just streamed Mountains of the moon on AMHD and it sounds awesome. No indication of any remastering. So should be the same as CD.
 
All the Dick's Picks available in CD quality sound on Amazon HD for way less $ than tracking them down now. Grateful the band chooses to do this.
 
I don't have a streamer in my main system. I am woefully behind the times. I have so much music given to me on Lps, CD cassette and R to R that I never bothered.

No biggy. Alot of people on AK feel the same way. Adding a way to stream would Still end up be cheaper than running down CD copies of past shows. Depending on how many you want.

One of the stimulus checks bought my computer and a work safety program bought my Dac.
I only streamed in car when it was mp3 however with the CD/Hi-Res option I became a big fan.
 
I am also technologically challenged in a big way. I will have to call one of my brothers to walk me through the process of picking the streamer and hooking it all up. Do you guys think a separate Dac and streamer is best?
 
There are Many options most depend on budget. I run AMHD and Foobar on a PC then to a topping Dac then a vintage receiver currently a Yamaha.

A cheap option is using an older laptop as a dedicated music server. That is what I used to do until it died. Now I have an all in one. They have the capability to play music through the 3.5 mm plug to the RCA on an amp. Eliminating the need for external Dac although depending on the model of computer and Dac external Dacs are often considered Superior SQ wise.
 
I have an ancient lap top but it runs really slow. I Think the most painless way is to go with an affordable streamer .
 
I remember way back when first started to get it .My brother had a promo copy of " Mars Hotel" and I think it was" Scarlet Begonias" that really did it for me. I am thankful that I got to see Jerry Many times and on purpose, tried to stay straight at the shows because this was after his coma . I wanted to remember. I remember Vegas shows when Sting opened and it was Wonderful.
 
I have seen some of the post Jerry Bands like Rat dog and Furthur but didn't get to see Jerry. Started to like the Dead thanks to What a long Strange trip it's been on cassette. 2 weeks later Jerry was gone.
