Grateful Dead

totally agree kyle - I stumbled upon 2/21/91 a little while back looking for "more Bruce", not realizing at the moment that he hadn't started playing with the boys steadfastly until March... Even so, it's a great setlist and the playing is pretty sweet too. I truly fell for the little Space segment that then ushers in 'Eyes of the World'; I have NEVER seen an 'Eyes' come out of a later-era 'Space' like that and what a treat it is. It's a very solid version too. Rest of the show is no slouch either - at all; a Help > Slip! > Franklin's opener (and the Slipknot is totally cool); the Playin' second set opener goes way, way out there in an exquisitely jammy way; there's an AWESOME Terrapin too, with a delicious groove that comes out of the jam at the end as well. Vince had to attempt his solo liftoff somewhere... https://archive.org/details/gd91-02-21.sbd.miller.22308.sbeok.shnf Sixtus

I’m a Touch head and don’t take offense to the term.I listen to 1965-95 and am happy for all the great releases we are getting. My point about releases is that some of the older folks prefer the earlier years and are only going to buy those releases, so it’s best to sell to them now while they are still around. Us Touch heads will still be around (hopefully) down the road and will continue to buy releases which will be weighted towards the 80/90’s. I also qualify as a geek because I work in the sciences, although I suck at math. Kyle is right, schools need to focus more on math and science, and music and art, and less on sports. So what does one do with an empty 30 Trips Box and book after selling off the individual shows? Probably sell them to someone who is trying to piece together a 30 Trips Box...... Didn’t keithfan or someone a few months ago buy an empty steamer box?

When will this monster start to hit mailboxes? I'm looking forward to this show like all y'all. Of course, I had the tapes and I have a digital version now, but this will be a fantastic sound upgrade. Reminds me more of '78 Dead than '77, but that's not always a bad thing in my book. Re: 11/2 filler, if they did squeeze it on there wouldn't there be 3 song repeats? I suppose that'd be fine...

Just got the email.

What kind of person lays out that kind of money? Someone who owns a record store. That is who. He clearly states that in the first sentence.

No doubt all shows are amazing brut 77 87-90 but 89/9 for my money sees Jerry the most elevated in wisdom of his playing .. that’s just when he was still mostly clean but post Brent moments were rarer n 91-94 shows -eg. in Orlando 91 - seeeung boys was hard for me - as I begged fior some divinty - Morning Dew hit me hard at end but often bands energy sagged after we lost Brent .. alas diff folks diff strokes but new fan -old fan —-all—Dead Heads- fanily —to me— —— so long as you get IT- as in baptized by the X factor or whatever it is that raised my kundalini at Radio Ciry or your crown chakras on this DvP25 on Miss half step - it’s you it’s the band it’s a stew baby! So that cookings going on in the pot in —every show- even now 50 years later Dead & C cooking some fine gumbo baby -which Mayer- has brought in some needed alchemy of his own to add to Bobs usual brew tho less shaman yells lately still got magic coarsuhg thru his veins —and the rhythm devils are crazy voodoo masters! lol can’t see my iphone glaucoma need someone to send good weed! lol ❤️—( my soap box? imho too many technophiles not enough musicians are dead heads in I am no Jerry Garcia’s- obviously.. he’s a once. no a millenium guy!in my humble opinion- . but i can stew up some sounds on my horn & sometimes I think the folks who only listen and never play get too caught up in the pure nerdiness of what year is best like drunks st. bar but it’s all in fun til it’s a brawl lol We are all in the band too so it’s subjectively objective

Even at $750 bucks a pop, it still sold out in a matter of weeks. What kind of a person would throw down $7,500 bucks for ten of them and destroy each set by breaking them up. Craziness. After six years, this was the first time that the subscription almost sold out. That's great news and reassuring that the rate of releases won't be slowing down anytime soon. part of that may be because of the 50th 3 years back (the year the awesome Boxilla came out-mine's staying intact thank you), and part may be because of Dead and Company helping to bring in new fans. ....speaking of which, if "TouchHeads" are a lower class of Deadhead, the original "Deader than thou" label, what does that say to new fans who have come onboard over the last 23 years since the Dead stopped touring? I wonder how many 15,000 units of July 1978 box sets are left? That one is from the seventies, came from returned Betty boards and has been available for close to a couple of years now. The RFK box sold the first 10,000 some-odd units within a matter of weeks, and seemd to have level off. Does that mean the band was "superior" in one year or the other, because they're both still available? Deadheads are a peculiar bunch when it comes to era envy. Myself, I'd like to see the love spread out a little more, but it's all good. Brent was great, keith was great. Why is that even an issue?
