Official Grateful Dead Thread

Disc 3 has a terrific 73 Eyes! Eyes was undoubtedly at its best 73-74. I love 80's Dead, but Eyes was not as good in the 80's, or the late 70's. Those 73-74 Eyes were the shiz!!!

Listening to Disc 3 "Eyes" as i type. Wow. Is this a 16 or 4 track recording? Very open and lush whatever it is.
For anyone curious, my livingroom set up:
Sansui QRX-6500
Nakamichi CD Player 4
Denon DP-47F: Denon DL-110
Advent 5012/Large Advent (stacked)
Polk Audio 10" sub

The sub really takes this show into the "Phil Zone." Amazing!! :music:

Listening to Garcia/Saunders' "Live At The Keystone"...

As far as I know, to this day that 3CD set has not been remastered, and that's a good thing. I don't like the remastered Dead/Garcia stuff at all. Too-fatiguing. This music's supposed to be laid-back, so why add compression to the remastered versions? Doesn't make any sense. I want my old CD's back (Compare one of the early Dick's Picks releases to one of the post-millennium ones and you'll hear the volume-increase and noticeable fatigue on the later discs).

Actually it was remastered and reissued quite recently, including some new material. I like the new remaster, but there are people who feel the original sounds better.

I think this one will please your ears very nicely, handled very well:

Paul Blakemore handled the remastering, FWIW

Who was playing piano, godcheaux? cause he's smoking, and the steal your face tapestry covering the grand is causing major envy.
