Grateful Dead

....but I love The Grateful Dead.

I think that all those Phish posts are from a person that forgot what website they logged into. There’s like 3 people here who actually care, and I think that all 3 are the same person.

Nope. Perhaps somebody is trying to convert Deadheads to Phish, but I just scroll past them. I like Phish, but this is dead.net, so I'm curious, too, at the reasoning behind the spate of them with no text around it to offer anything to the discussion. I like people talking about other bands here especially newer stuff that I don't listen to/wouldn't be exposed to due to my own listening habits being fairly closed off to new stuff given the plethora of stuff available to listen to from the bands I already am into. But it works better when there's discussion, not random posting of songs. For example, it wasn't here, but on another site, I was recently exposed to Gentle Giant, and was absolutely blown away by their fierce musicianship, amd I'm appreciative of that. Just posting Phish vids when no one is talking about them is odd indeed. And since I went and brought them up, and have given appropriate context, how about some insanely complex Gentle Giant live: https://youtu.be/UM-yGcpaY_4

don't hear how shitty this show sounds....maybe because I got on the bus around 1988 and started collecting tapes from many different eras I tend to like them all... I dunno, I like this show! I think it comes with many cool/great moments

Dave's subscriptions make it clear that you get 4 shows a year. I know they hype sound quality and overall I think they get it right even when it's a great board from 1983. Anyhow, some years sound better than others but I really do think Dave % CO. do try to give us cool shows to enjoy! Cheers!

Boise, Idaho invaded by goats. Hahaha By the way, does anybody look at all those Phish things that get posted on this site, presumably in error?

The best sounding to my ears have been (off the top of my head) 21 4/2/73, which I think has a ton to do with it being on 10" reels instead of 7" (take that how you will). The clarity and definition on that recording is simply stunning, in particular I had a slack-jawed reaction to Eyes> China Doll with Phil's very quiet, yet still audible touches accentuating China Doll in a masterful way. The 11, 11/17/72 was a great tape as well. 26 11/17/71 was my commute music this morning, the first Other One in particular, and Phil was thunderous, Bob and Jerry were both quite present, and Keith sounded good, and has one of his few solos I can recall somewhere in that show, with Jerry even calling for the piano solo. The Wall of Sound Picks 2, 9, 19 are not my favorites because of the limitations of capturing the WoS properly and the vocal issues. They have a good presence for most of the instruments, but the drums can be hit or miss on WoS recordings, and there's almost always adjustments for the first 2-3 songs that afterwards, it settles down. DaP 13 is a proto-WoS show and it has the aforementioned issues that take a few songs to straighten out, but by the meat of the show, you're transported far away on a cloud of fantastic music. DaP 10 12/12/69 and the accompanying bonus disc from the previous night (one of the greatest single Dead discs?) are masterpieces of recording from Bear. I feel like I'm in a tiny club and can picture myself there from his Sonic Journal. To make it easier to read, and a more concise personal top 5 for sound quality: DaP 21 4/2/73 DaP 11 11/17/72 DaP 10 12/12/69 and 12/11/69 bonus disc DaP 26 11/17/71 (will have to check the bonus disc and disc 3 again for 12/14/71, but seem to recall not being as blown away by that show's sound) DaP 14 3/26/72 (could be totally biased on this one, I seem to like it a LOT more than others here, mainly because of that TOO>M&MU>TOO>Wharf Rat) Bonus 6th choice: DaP 8 11/30/80 the outlier as the only Matrix in the Series thus far, I think it shows how to put out a good cassette master SBD

9/17/82 Cumberland County 1st Throwing stones and I think 1st Touch. Good show..est/eyes, great setlist.

If you don't like it, sell it. Someone will buy it. It doesn't really make sense to complain about being forced upon a release because you subscribed. If you sell it as new, you can probably get more money than what you paid for it, if you want. Other than that, its just impatience. Variety is the spice of life and this band probably offers more variety than any other band ever! Think about that and be grateful...then just wait for one you do enjoy to come down the golden road.
