Grateful Dead

From jambase: On October 22, 1967 San Francisco’s Winterland Arena hosted a “Marijuana Defense Benefit” featuring three of the area’s top bands. The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and Big Brother & The Holding Company all performed at a concert that wound up ending an era for the Dead and beginning a new one. Heads author Jesse Jarnow often provides micro-reviews of Grateful Dead shows, and the recordings of said performances, on Twitter. Jarnow dug into the Dead’s set at the Winterland and shared interesting insight into what went down at Winterland. He notes that the band’s October 22, 1967 performance is the “last document of the Dead as a quintet before Mickey Hart joins as second drummer.” Mickey had famously sat-in with the Grateful Dead at Bill Kreutzmann’s behest on September 30, 1967. While some Deadheads think Hart joined the band immediately, Jarnow’s research has found photos and audio of the Dead continuing on for a short spell as a one-drummer band including the set at the Marijuana Defense Benefit. The Grateful Dead’s set on October 22, 1967 ends with “That’s It For The Other One.” As Jarnow notes, the recording is the first known tape of the celebrated Primal Dead song suite. This early version had different lyrics than what the Dead would go on to record for their sophomore studio album, Anthem Of The Sun shortly thereafter. Jerry Garcia is in fine form throughout the set but especially towards the end of “That’s It For The Other One.” Other highlights include a “Turn On Your Lovelight” workout, Garcia’s solo on the “Morning Dew” opener and “New Potato Caboose,” the lone song played that wouldn’t survive the ’60s in the repertoire.

Even though it was done with Sonic Solutions, it was NOT done by David Gans. I always felt that the “No Noise” version was a bit muddy. This copy has no noise reduction done to it, so it is much clearer. -The levels in Morning Dew are all over the place. It is mostly due to the mix. I did not do anything to change this. The sound improves by the end of the song. I can only wonder what kind of drugs they were using at this show

DP8 and Shrine '67 are must haves if you collect vinyl; same with all three FTV releases.Hampton 79 is a good show, but the sound is not nearly as crisp as the ones mentioned above; cheap artwork too.

I have recently ordered DP8 and the Shrine 1967 shows on vinyl, and although neither have arrived yet, I have started looking at what else is available on vinyl. It looks like the only one that is available, that I haven't got on cd, is the Hampton 4th May 1979 show, which looks as though it was a RSD release a few years ago. I have read a few reviews of this show, and they seem a bit mixed. I wondered what people here thought of it. I have got, and rate very highly, the fall-December 1979 shows that have been officially released, and I wondered if this May show was of the same high calibre. If it is-then its definitely one to get, but if not...

Digging the excellent "schoolgirl" from the 8/23 > 8/24/68 Shrine Auditorium release (Two From the Vault) and playing along with my just immediately acquired PRS natural semi-hollow. The previous owner upgraded all the electronics, installed Seymour Duncan Alnico II humbuckers in black with matching custom pickguard. I'm stoked... been salivating over the PRS John Mayer Super Eagle model but for a hobbyist/sometime band-jammer forking out the requisite ten grand is not a responsible move. Plus, I beat my guitars up so any notion of reselling is out the window. Just noodling along in middle-pickup bliss, with John Mayer bell-like tone ringing out for days off that center (dual) pickup selection... and finishing off the Jameson from yesterday's celebration. \m/

Just got the vinyl reissue of Jerry's 1st LP: disappointment! Did a side by side comparison with the original, the "newly remastered from original master tapes", is really no improvement; big difference is huge, distracting bass boost. Anybody knows who remastered it? Anyone else bought it??Was gonna' get Reflections and Cats Under the Stars, but I will stick to the originals.

....the Grateful Dead are masters of them. The one at the 12:50 mark of the 12.20.69 Dark Star literally lifted me off my feet and carried me halfway across my living room. At the 16:44 mark they do it again. Lifted me off my feet and carried me the rest of the way. Sploosh. '69 Dark Stars are a genre of music all their own. Guess TC has something to do with that. We are lucky to have them....edit. Gunshot fired at the 4:27 mark of the following St. Stephen. Daaaaaamn Mickey. You woke my dog up!

After 23 years or so the flashing light on my CD of Pink Floyd’s “Pulse” stopped flashing. Changed the batteries twice but it still won’t flash......CD still plays. Shirdeep -> Nice Photo!
