Official Grateful Dead Thread

Daves Vol X, shipping May 1st!!


December 10-12, 1969 Thelma Theater, West Hollywood, CA Grateful Dead
The Thelma Theater, at 8849 Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood, just past the Los Angeles City Limits, had previously been known as The Galaxy. Around late 1966, Iron Butterfly had been the house band there. The venue was in the heart of the Sunset Strip, and the legendary Whisky A Go Go was just across the street.

The Thelma Theater had opened on November 12, 1969, probably with Poco as the headliner. The implication seems to have been that the Thelma would be some sort of upscale rock club, but it was an idea some years ahead of its time. I don't know who backed or booked the venue. It doesn't seem to have lasted very long. The Dead played Wednesday through Friday, as I assume they were looking for a booking to fill out the weekend along with the San Bernardino show. Stephen Stills dropped by to jam with the Dead on Wednesday, December 10.

The address currently houses Panini Pizza. The famous Viper Room is across the street (at 8852 W. Sunset).

My sealed copy will be going right to the ScramVault to age.
 
I just pledged to Pono and will receive a limited edition chrome Grateful Dead signature player in return.

Great thread. Thanks!

I stumbled upon this last month (somebody was nice enough to send it to me). It is a really good read that addresses some lost recordings that went into a storage locker auction and are being slowly recovered. Not sure if it is in this thread anywhere as this thread is now very large and I just found it. In any case, for all you fellow Deadheads, it is worth a read. Hopefully, these recordings will flow my way soon.

On a serious note, I could use some help from you folks that listen to my type of music. I think you are better suited as we all know the challenges of taking all of those shows and attempting to play them so they sound like we are right in front of the boards.

This is what I am working with. Seagate 4TB external drive >> USB Cable>>Dell tower running XP >> USB Cable >> Topping DAC >> Headphone jack split into analog patch >> Aragon Preamp >> Aragon 4004 MKII amp >> Bertagni SM300's. What I need to get more up on is a couple of items in this process. The drive is filled with shows recorded in lossless formats. I do not have a player. I have heard good things about Fubar and J Rivers. Any opinions? The Topping DAC sounds wonderful, it really smooth's things out (excellent bang for the buck). However, the output in the back is set up for speaker out. What I really want to do is NOT run through my headphone out plug in the front of the DAC, but through the RCA speaker out and recombine that into a RCA patch to the preamp. Can I do that and how?

Lastly, I plan on running a touch screen. This will be a dedicated PC for audio and potentially video (my buddy has about 12TB more to get over to me in the form of GD, Phish WSP audio and video). So multiple external drives. What I would like to do is associate an image with each file; preferably an image of the ticket and set list. SO when playing I can get a fell for it a little better. Anybody know a good source for these images?

Long winded, but need to get that out of my cobwebbed brain!

Thank you in advance and have a kind day!
