Official Grateful Dead Thread

Thanks. I had no idea. I usually save all the schwag that came with records, such as the stickers on the plastic wrap, and stuff. But, 40 years provides lots of opportunities for things to go missing.

It's worth it for the Blu Ray :yes:

Then I'd have to buy a Blu Ray player!

Did finally get Dave's 8 yesterday for not too much of a scalper fee added. Excellent! On my 3rd listen. I think it's far superior to Dave's 7, which IMO I wasn't too impressed with, have only have listened to it all the way through once. Big waste of recording space on disc 2, and I don't care at all for the "rhythm devils" noise. I guess you would need to have been there to appreciate it. They could have made it a 2 disc set with a reduced cost. Here's hoping Dave's 2014 picks will be better than #7 since I am subscribed to 2014.
 
Did the entire Family Dog RSD vinyl release this AM. Far surpasses my expectations, with all the disclaimers of poor SQ I was expecting far less and what a treat to have the Pigpen portion in my collection. Must have material for the true fan...

Also spun the One from the Vault reissue(listening to lp 3 now) this AM. Remastered, this also far surpassed my expectations as I wasn't sure how perfection could be improved upon but somehow they managed!! I wasn't too concerned about the poss of a digital format for the remastering phase as I know the original was digitally done 22 years ago also. The ears tell the tale no matter what and these ears are EXTREMELY happy with this one. great soundstage with ultra clear separation and a very warm ambience thru tube driven horns. A very pleasing listen.

Its been a great year to be a GD fan
 
OK,… So I watched the movie the other night, and the memory of what i didn't care for about it came flooding right back.
*The memory:
Cutting away from the wonderful space moments, and going to the drunks arguing in the bar, arguing about whether the movie will be well received or not, or who is getting the royalties.
There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert, says one of them.
I bet that guy never even left the bar.

* And every other time that they found to wander away during the blissful space jams.

Just get the DVD and play the extras on the 2nd disc, its all the bliss, and none of the nonsense
 
Saratoga Performing Arts Center on June 27, 1985

Still more Archive streaming. Don't care for this show that much; there doesn't seem to be much emotion, like they're just mailing it in that eve.

Wow. I'd love to hear that someday. Awesome that so many new Matrix shows are being put together by the hardcore. Far out cover too. Nice. :)

A guy named Hunter Seamons has put out a 100 of them so far under the moniker Hunter's Trix. You can download for free legally at http://bt.etree.org/ using a bit torrent client. The downloads are very fast because there are a lot of deadheads.

Looks like one of Jubal's Trix. Great show and matrix with a helluva cover too ;)

I think Jubal Seamons and Hunter Seamons are the same person - Jubal Hunter Seamons.

A quote from his facebook page:

Hunter's Trix is an ongoing Grateful Dead audio matrix series, combining soundboard and audience recordings of live shows. The series is produced and mixed by Jubal Hunter Seamons and includes CD cover artwork for each volume/show.
​
For some reason Volumes 82 - 94 are labeled Jubal's Trix while all the others in the hundred releases are titled Hunter's Trix. I am not sure why he did that. :dunno:

I aways grap the Charlie Miller version of a show if there's no Hunter's Matrix of it.
I always check for a Hunter's first. Dusborne does an amazing matrix job also if neither are available.

The website that Jubal stores the art at is spectacular.
There's some mighty fine stuff there.
I got his permission to use that picture for my mod wrap BTW.
