Official Grateful Dead Thread


Man, thanks for the tip. The GD "Holy Grail" show finally remastered to HDCD!Plus the movie. Gonna pre-order my copy PDQ.
Couldn't wait. I got mine reserved. I really hope they keep the stage announcements between songs. Really adds to the flavor of the day. I'm sure they will. My first Country Fair was 1976 in my home town of Veneta, Oreygon. Graduated a proud Falcon 1987 Elmira H.S. One of a class of 70 or so. :)

My Dave's 7 should be in the mailbox today too! I know what i'm doing after work if so. (Hope, hope...)

Patiently waiting... while #7 is already showing up on ebay. Reminds me again why I dislike "UPS Mail Innovations". Stuff can sit for days in a local warehouse waiting for the final USPS delivery. Media Mail is more reliable. Should be here any old day now...

Dave'sPicks7 was in my mailbox Saturday. Discs 2 & 3 are smokin' HOT. Donna Jean is in excellent (restrained) form too which is a blessing. Already lookin' forward to the Sunshine Daydream DVD/3CD set in Sept. now! I think that show well deserves the hype it receives.
Definitely back in a "Dead phase" and lovin' the heck outta it. Shows have never sounded better with vastly improved sources/gear than i had back in the 90's. :yes:
 
My Oppo BDP-95 decodes HDCD brilliantly.
That gave me the idea to look at my old Oppo DV-981HD player. The specifications in the manual say it has HDCD. :thmbsp: I'll have to dig it out and see if I can use it as an audio player with no TV hooked up to it. Therein lies the problem...

Nothing quite like the original LP.

Yeah, that show at the Glen was a good listen. I think I read the recording I heard was actually the soundcheck the day before a scheduled performance, and it turned into an impromptu concert.

Just listened to:
Richfield Coliseum on, September 8, 1993

Always find myself going back to this 16 track master reel show. There's something innocent and magical going on here.

Everything is just perfect, save the rather messy "Blues for Allah" live debut. No small wonder it was the first official vault release in 1991.
