Official Grateful Dead Thread

With the various site that offer virtually every show the "collectability" I think is gone. It's all available. What it has done is allow great music in good quality to get to whoever wants it. A great thing.

...a student overheard me talking with another teacher about music, was asked what I liked, said Dead. She said she would have never guessed. Funny what clean cut and 51 does to perception.

I've never cared for the collectability aspect. I want shows that I enjoy listening to, that's all. Archive and other sites allow me this opportunity, and I absolutely love it!

I've had that happen a couple times recently with people that have known me for many years.

Now playing:
Long Beach Arena, November 15, 1987

Had ACL surgery yesterday. Ouch. Had a catheter also. Ouch x a gazillion! Going to be laid up for a while. Listened to an entire show start to finish uninterrupted. Can't remember the last time I was able to do this. Streamed it from an archive site. Decent sound, although the breaks between songs is kind of maddening.

Very happy that there are sites that provide full shows. BTW Palo Alto 2/9/73. First Eyes, First China Doll. Crazy good playing.

Looking for The Grateful Dead 11/18/72 Hofheinz, Pavilion, Houston TX.

I have to work a double on Friday, can't get to a store until late in the day. Willing to pay list, shipping, and throw in a few bucks for gas.

Yes, I put up and ad here on Bartertown.
 
Dead.net has 20% off tonight until midnight for Cyber Monday. The Garcia MusicToday site has %15 off and some bundles. I got emails on both.
 
Add 3 bucks to that plus $4 shipping... that's what Oz was selling them for on RSD, but they are sold out now, just checked.

The CD sounds great, nice mix. More bass guitar up front, less bass drum.
 
Got mine spinning now! Been listening to the CD for the past week and was a little concerned how they would squeeze the 25:49 Playing In The Band onto Side 3.

No need for concern! Sounds great! Well modulated, good dynamics, and I got flat pressings that are quiet! :thmbsp::thmbsp::smoke:

Rumours of some sort of Grateful Dead activity are swirling on the internet. Related to the 50th Anniversary of the group.
 
After seeing the Grateful Dead movie on Paladia the other night I want to experience more! I went to I tunes and checked out the offerings and my God there are a lot to choose from. Do you all have a list of the Dead's must have best live performances for me to use as a reference? I have a fairly nice set up and vinyl is prefered but it will take me awhile to get a good collection going. Would appreciate it greatly! :music:
