That '71 Capitol Theater run is a classic.

Just like E72, some better than others but not a dud in the bunch :yes:

I took a few pix of my CD boxes with handcut dovetails for a different thread but they're full of GD so...

That's bubinga on the left. Don't try to handcut dovetails in bubinga or wenge. Trust me.

 

[Wally Swift]

A long shot but......did the Dead ever do a version of Moon Mullican's "Grandpa Stole My Baby Away"? I'm really digging this tune lately and I keep imagining a Dead workout of it for some reason.

How does the sound on this compare to Skullfuck?

Capitol Theater in Port Chester, NY on 2/24/71 - http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=559140

How does the sound on this compare to Skullfuck?

Sound quality wise, it's more "live" sounding. Good performance. I like it even more than I expected to, as I typically prefer 72 and later GD.

 

[dminches]

Skullfuck is more polished sounding since it was edited in the studio with various over dubs.

 

[Mowgli]

Sounds good, we'll see if I get any Newbury Comix cards for XMas...

now playing: Winterland Arena on 3/24/71 - Miller :yes:

You put that much better than I did :thmbsp:

That Princeton show has always been a favorite of mine. One of the best Lovelights.

Fillmore East on 4/26/71 - Newer Charlie Miller master -> http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=559185

This is the only show from this run not represented on Ladies And Gentlemen...

 

[Jack Lord]

I have the Gaelic Park gig. Love it.

 

[Mowgli]

Yeah it's a great one

That Miller 4/26 show is excellent.
I'm replacing the bum copy I had for the last 10 years or so.
It had about a 3 minute deadspace in the middle of H2H.
Everything on this Miller remaster sounds 10x better too. No hype.

Check out the latest issue of the New Yorker. Not my usual read, but my mom has a subscription. Big article about the Dead and the taping culture. Some great bits.
