Grateful Dead

I just got around to ordering this release thru Warner Music Group, passing themselves as dead.net. I guess I am supporting this community and dead.net/Grateful Dead Productions, so it's a good thing. I have a nephew who has a great tech job at Amazon who knows I love the Grateful Dead and that I'm a non-stereotypical Dead Head. He'll probably just smile and say that's OK. I'm very pleased that the 1st disc will contain the original 1968 mix and the 1971 remix. However, neither will sound exactly like their original vinyl releases, because vinyl sounds a bit different than CD, with its "warm" sound. The compact disc has no surface noise, no pops from scratches, no sounds of dirt/dust in the grooves, but a slightly harsher sound. It will be great to compare the mixes with the convenience of one single playback medium of the compact disc. I'm glad that 10/22/67 was selected as the bonus disc as I never heard this show until recently via archive.org, and I really fell in love with it. I'm sure Jeff Norman will do a great/outstanding/excellent job with these recordings. The show itself was a Marijuana Defense Fund benefit event. As I said earlier on the DaP26 thread, I don't use marijuana as I once did. I really don't need any mind/mood altering substances to enjoy the music of the Grateful Dead, if the occasion arises to get high/drunk, well that's a different story, and I take it one day at a time. It's the magic in the music itself that gets me in a good mood and high at the same time.

Rhino any Merch for this ? I hope record shops in my area get some promo stuff to help sell this release. Was looking for some stuff from RSD but local guy said there was none. Best promo Merch from recent rhino release was Red Rocks 1978 show Bonus disc selection of 10.22.67 ~ Winterland is not much of a surprise. Got this performance in Jeeb's Stash. Definitely a show that will stand the test of time as well. Rhino is there any remnants from Columbus November 1968 performance stocked away in the vault ?

i have a SBD copy of 6/25/95 and its missing "Picasso Moon". wondering if anyone can help me complete my show.

kevjones sorry, that's incorrect .......

from wikipedia Remix and alternate cover A remixed version of Anthem of the Sun, supervised by Phil Lesh, was issued in 1972 (with the same product number, WS-1749), and can be identified by the letters RE after the master numbers. The remix particularly differs from the original in terms of segues, use of live recordings, and stereo imaging. For example, the original mix starts with vocals and organ panned wide, while the remix has them centered; Bob Weir's studio vocal on the first track is doubled with a live recording on the original mix and solo on the remix. "Born Cross-Eyed" ends with a power chord in the key of E on the remix, whereas the original mix has an earlier fade-out. Around the same time Jerry Garcia supervised a remix of the Grateful Dead's following album Aoxomoxoa. While the Aoxomoxoa remix was used for original Warner Bros and subsequent Rhino CD issues, the original mix of Anthem of the Sun was chosen for CD reissues. Alternate cover of Anthem of the Sun In 2013 the Grateful Dead studio albums were remastered again for listening in digital high resolution. The 2013 download is the first digital issue of the Anthem of the Sun early 70s remix. Confusingly, the promotion for this reissue emphasized the use of original mixes (particularly those of the Workingman's Dead and American Beauty albums which had been remixed for previous high resolution digital releases).[9][10] However, Anthem of the Sun and Aoxomoxoa appear in the 2013 HD release not in their original mixes, but in remixed form, as released in 1972. As remix masters were not sent to the UK, vinyl pressings of the album in this region (and probably other foreign markets) continued to use the original mix after 1972.[11] When the album was reissued in 1975, Warner Brothers changed the background color on the front cover from midnight blue to white, and the stylized title was changed to a standard font. As the band had not approved the change, the following pressings reverted to blue.[12]

.... original release date 7.18.68. The Doors Waiting For The Sun release date 7.3.68. Double Suns. I was born on 5.21.68, but not on Tatooine. Probably opened my eyes soon after, looking or waiting for the sun. It all comes together....

....my son came to me tonight and asked me if I've heard of Johnny Cash. Needless to say, The Man In Black is in the house tonight....

Here is the live recordings I was talking about. Me confused, although some of it is from Counterparts. I think the inside art work has some counterparts sketches, like a 3d type blue print art. Not in 3d, more like how architecture drawings look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Different_Stages_(Rush_album) 1978 disk is from Hammersmith Odeon. Edit: Oh yeah I will watch that!
