Grateful Dead

I haven't seen one from 9/26/77. I have his recording from a few days earlier at the Forum, 9/23, but just got it today and haven't listened to it yet. I think he recorded Yes on 6/23/75 as well. He also recorded a Kansas show from 77 I believe (have to check on it, haven't gotten it yet, I remember the setlist has a mix of prog rock and the hits (Dust, Wayward), which is what I want). And then of course he recorded a ton of Led Zeppelin. I'm still trying to get his recording of 6/21/77, which was supposed to be included on my last Led Zeppelin vine but there were errors. Yeah, if you don't mind sending it to me, I'd love to have it, and I'll start a Mike Millard AUD vine. I know what you mean re: some Yes shows not being of a good enough sound quality to circulate. I've got a couple others that I got a while back and I'm not circulating those. BTW, I said that they played a great show at Wembley in 78 that I couldn't find, but then I noticed I already had it. I think Lopezz may have vined it at some point (Prog Rock vine?).

I forgot - I have the '78 Wembley show if you'd like. 10/28/78 - SBD. There's also a 6/9/79 SBD at International Theater in Chicago I could throw in. Chicago show is really nice and crisp. Actually, now that I look, I think the Yes 10/28/78, Genesis 7/2/77 and Rush 5/28/79 were part of a vine from out here! "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door"

I've got another Mike Millard from 9/26/77 from Long Beach Arena. Very nice quality AUD - A/A- for sure. I'd be happy to send it along to you dstache. I have more Yes, just haven't had a chance to root through it - some of it is not worth circulating except for historical reference. I've got about 35 shows in all, mostly from the 70's. "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door"

Ok, haven't seen those ones. A B/B+ AUD isn't what I'm looking for (and I suspect not what you were hoping for either). I'm hoping that these Lampinski AUDs are A/A-. I know that the Styx '77 show is. I've listened to it twice already and love it. The 3 Yes shows Lampinski recorded that I can find are 12/11/74, 8/15/77 and 6/19/79. Mike Millard also recorded 2 Yes shows, 6/23/75 and 9/23/77. Then, there are a few others that I have found that look to be good, 6/27/79, 4/18/79 and 6/17/76. Finally, although I can't find it, there is supposed to be Wembley '78 show that is just great. I'm going to try and get what I can.

dstache-- The dates I have are 2/18, 2/26, and 2/28 1974. 2/26 is a Boston show, and the 2/18 show seems to be a partial show.

Well, John Phillips DID write Me and My Uncle, as I recall. I really did love their music at the time, especially the first couple of albums.

Yeah, from what I can tell, AUDs of other bands from the 70's are generally not that great, with 2 exceptions, the recordings of Mike Millard and Dan Lampinski. The former taped shows in LA, especially Led Zeppelin but also others, and the latter taped shows all over New England. Lampinski taped the 12/11/74 Yes show in Boston. Is that one of the three that you have?

I recently got 3 YES shows from the 1974 Tales from Topographic Oceans Tour. They are audience recordings B+/B quality..not the best but ok. I got the commercial Dead Ahead DVD a few years ago, and it now comes with a bonus DVD with extra songs--Heaven Help the Fool, He's Gone, and some others I can't remember.

Does any of their live stuff circulate? Also, I was just curious--any relationship or stories between them and the Dead? "That path is for, your steps alone."

I picked this up last year - 4 DVDs and it is truly a wonderful snapshot in time of the boys. Jerry and Bobby outtakes trying to get a fundraiser commercial spot down. Al Franken is classic. And of course the music...no words to describe. This show was 2 months after I jumped on the bus with my first live show. I think back and wish so much that I could have jumped aboard in '77. Anyway...I hope you are able to vine it for those that haven't seen it yet... "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door"
