Grateful Dead

I just got my copy in the mail, can't wait to listen to it. I am wondering why the snippets from newspaper reviews are from Portland, OR when the show is from Passaic, NJ. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks so much for the music. I can never get enough.

Haven't had one skip since New Haven in GSTL... Marye do i email you or Dr. Rhino

This release looks great! Ripping it now, about to start my first listen. I am anxious to see if Journal Special Writer Joann Graham is correct in her estimation that the "highlight of GD's first set was 'Keep on Dancing,' an audience favorite with the crowd" (who else would an audience favorite be with, you may ask?) and the "percussion effects and Donna's vocals were superb in 'Wind in the Willows.'" Oh, I kid, Joanne, I kid. ;o)

1976 was one hell of a unique year, donchyaknow?

Peace

- Love this release despite owning it forever. I can barely tell the difference between this and my previous version, but I love the packaging and the adding of this selection to the "official releases" since we will be hearing these forever on digital music services.
- THIS is a great Help>Slip>Franklin's! NIGHT And DAY compared to DaP27 1983 version. This Help is melodic, well sung, unhurried, uncluttered, precise - a breath of fresh air... That 1983 Help is quite another story! ... a perfect example of the often jarring dichotomy between 70's and 80's Dead. 70's Dead was consistently good or great, whereas 80's was a crap shoot show-to-show and often song-to-song, depending mostly on the timing, quality and quantity of Jerry's heroin intake.
- Disc 3 has a major 1st set feel to it, right down to the bonus material. But I don't mind given disc 2 is such a monster. Not a criticism - Disc 3 is very well played. I enjoy having atypical setlists like this - not every show should be a greatest hits of that year.
- Great release - thanks to all involved.

Another release, another defective disc. After a long run of getting discs that work from dead.net this is the second consecutive release that I have received with skipping discs due to the presence of incredibly fine, deep cuts or gaps in the plastic coating of the CD. The cut is so fine and deep that I can't really imagine how it would be the result of a scratch, so it seems likely to be a manufacturing defect. This is the same situation that I encountered on the PNW box, disc 5, and I am still waiting for a replacement after over a month at this point.

So far this release sounds great except for the skip on the first disc. Hoping that as I listen to the rest of it there won't be any skips on the second or third disc, but it does seem that there have been an abundance of quality control complaints with the PNW box so I am not overly optimistic that this release will be any different. It would be great if they sorted this out so that they are shipping discs that will play without skipping.

Finding the pages that one wants is not a problem. There are various ways of reaching the desired page. What is a problem is (after logging in) trying to get to a page where one wants to post a comment and simultaneously remaining logged in so that posting is actually possible. Once in a while that seems to be possible, but mostly after logging in on arrival at the desired page by whatever method the logged in avatar is replaced by the stick-figure icon that stands mockingly at the top right of the screen warning you that posting is not possible.

The last two occasions when I have actually managed to write a comment I have not been able to post it. The first time, the reCAPTCHA thingy refused to load and just kept rotating endlessly. The second time, when I hit Save I get taken to a page that announces that I am not authorized to view this page. WTF. I'm done here until this version of the site is either replaced or demonstrably shown to work as it should.

All three of my discs are defective. Skips, dropouts etc. Discs one and two, visually they look ok, but have defects. Disc three looks like something went terribly wrong in manufacturing. Bummed. I have been lucky with all my GDP orders in the past, hope this goes smoothly with customer service.

I just jumped in to this forum (so glad I found it) before reading most post to say that my disc 1 had minor damage which caused it to go silent a few times during Scarlet and disc 2 looks ok and played fine. We're about to absorb disc 3 and I'll update this post.

My DaP has been MIA since Friday when it departed some place in Ohio en route to USPS. Fingers crossed for delivery tomorrow.

Rose Colored Glasses. :-P
