Grateful Dead

80’s Fan - Is my avatar the shirt u speak of? I got it in Hartford @ The Other Ones show in 2000 Rock on

I won't bore you (or everyone else) with a repost of my lengthy comment on the Sabres. I grew up a Sabres fan and was there for all the playoff games during the ill-fated run to the cup in 1999. Ultimately, I was forced to change allegiance due to utter incompetence and mismanagement in the front office. I just like the Red Wings style of play. Plus they have one of the coolest jerseys in all of sports, along with the Blackhawks. But, Chicago has that punk Patrick Kane, so I can't root for them.

Ha, I remember that hockey/dead shirt too! I think my favorite one however was the Space Your Face shirt (think I even still have it somewhere)...which I'd post if I remembered how to do it... Speaking of Hockey, I'm a flyers fan so not much to root for right now. I'm probably going to root for Vegas though since it's a pretty cool story. Has any first year team ever gotten this far in their first year? Anyone even close? I think the Marlins won the World Series in their 4th year of existence but can't remember anyone else doing it that fast

....i loved that shirt.

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/grateful-dead-after-jerry-g… this shows it is about the music. that's what matters. behind-the-scenes GD seems like a roiling bucket of maggots. separate the art from the artist(s). listen to the music play, and never mind the bollocks.

Okay I'm a day behind can, but hippie chick, to answer your question about Keith on Bertha, no I've never heard of him sitting out on songs, nor playing the organ in 1972. He did play a little bit of organ in late 71 after he joined. I believe there are some tracks on Dave's Picks Volume 3, Earthquake in the Phil Zone. What I found while working on my Ph.D in Europe 72, is that Keith was not always Audible in the mix. On some shows he's very much present, in other shows you wonder if he's even in the band. It's a tragedy, I know. It was long rumored that Jeffrey Norman was rushed to engineer this box set. Sure enough, a couple of years ago, the great mr. Norman himself came to this very message board to discuss some comments that have been made about what many thought was a significant Improvement in the sound quality of the Dave's Picks releases. He thanked everyone for their feedback, and it was in that Exchange that somebody one man in particular, asked him about whether he would want to have a do-over with the master tapes of Europe 72. Mr Norman said yes he would love to. I took that to mean that he acknowledges some inadequacies. It is also very obvious to me that the liner notes 4 the April 24th show deliberately talk up Keith God shows contribution to this particular show. And the history of course, is that this show was engineered and released years before the year of 72 box set, and that's the mix that they used. So, what I clean from all this is that he had plenty of time to get Rockin the rhein just exactly perfect, Keith is high in the mix, and this is the mix that they used for Europe 72 box set at least 4 the part of the show that includes Dark Star and sugar magnolia I've compared those side by side and with the exception of slightly different placements of the track markers, there's no difference in the audio. I know of one man who did a little more analysis and determined that part of that show was remixed for Europe 72. But my point is, and I apologize that I'm taking such a long time to get to it, but I'm driving right now, is that they know that Keith is low in a lot of these mixes, so they talked up the show where he was best represented add an audio level, which is April 24th. That is plenty of Babel from me. Good day sir! Or I'm sorry ma'am. The hair under the arms distracted me a moment. Not that it's a bad thing. You wear it well:D One pleasant anomaly about this May 10th show at 420 Amsterdam Street, is that there is extra reverb, which sounds good. Not so much on the vocals but definitely on the guitars.

GFar - don't even think about it; do it! Just do it. Just drop ten bucks and you get two great Dead & Company shows. The Saturday night show (2/17) was an absolute highlight for me personally (was tripping pretty hard starting about half way into the 21 minute(!) Shakedown). The entire show was MAGIC. I am looking forward to taking them both in again this weekend for sure. Jimmy you actually reposted the first night 2/15 which they streamed last week. I think you're missing the last night which was 2/18...and your DEW: SUNDAY FEBRUARY 18th ONE SAMSON AND DELILAH MISSISSIPPI HALF-STEP UPTOWN TOODELOO THEY LOVE EACH OTHER GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD IF I HAD THE WORLD TO GIVE RAMBLE ON ROSE BIRD SONG TWO ST.

....one of my favorite tie dyes back in the day. Wonder if Liquid Blue still makes them?

Just remember, the Red Wings USED to be the Prguins i.e., EVERYBODY hated them, but now they suck, so nobody cares, actually I think most people hate the Pens more ; ) Besides, it sounds like your all a bunch of fair weather fans........a true fan loves their team because their the worst team in the league, again! GO SABRES!!!
