Grateful Dead

of the era dstache had requested .But I have a lot more Floyd of diferent era`s for later vines . Happy to contribute . Vine on !! *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

I had a problem with a show or two and found some even more interesting stuff. There was an east coast taper named Dan Lampinski who taped a bunch of shows in the mid to late 70's, and there shows have just started to become widely circulated in the last year. I listened to a Styx show (11/4/77, date ring any bells?) over the weekend that was just unbelievable. And I have a Bruce Springsteen show I'm listening to now. I'm getting a few more of Lampinski's shows, hopefully a Heart, Rush and Yes. Google the name and you'll find out some interesting info about him. So, the vine will be "Dan Lampinski-Taped Shows." Stuman is sending me some Floyd shows to include in the vine. It should be a big one, 2 or 3 DVDs perhaps. Too big for WAV. The best of spring 89 vine will have WAV CD's along with SHN/FLAC files.

no feather ruffling intended here. This is a grate spot to share and I wouldn't want to see that happen. BTW-This show is freely traded (which of course is how I acquired it ) and available on other sites, so this will sort itself out, without a doubt. marye is on it, anyway, so we will know soon. Truthfully, I had forgotten that Dead Ahead was culled from the 8 show run of Radio City Music Hall shows. I highly recommend that for anyone who hasn't got it, classic acoustic & electric Dead along with some trippy visuals. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

I'm having the same deja vu as other folks here, but will look into this a bit. Thanks!

My comment was not intended in any way to criticize your making the show available. I wanted to make sure that we didn't ruffle any feathers. As to my disappointment at the time, it was more that we were expecting SPECTACULAR and only got amazing. As I said, I was incredibly and foolishly spoiled back then. A tape of this show and night is well worth having, both for the music and for the history. "That path is for, your steps alone."

I think I remember see`n that show on pay-per-veiw. Is this the one with Chef Jerry ? Those skits are too damm funny !! I think i had this on vhs tape also but lost in a move . Looking foward to seeing it again . Thank you Tim !! *** Clean***Sober***Proud***

but someone back East made a copy of the TV proshot from that 10-31-80 show. It is 4 DVD's due to one of the DVDs being a series of comedy skits that were shot for the 'break'. Really the music is about 2 1/2 to 3 DVDs of the Dead playing, the rest is Franken & Davis spoofing on the Dead (Jerry's Kids!), the skit Lopezz was talking about, then they drag Parrish into a skit, then Billy, then some political spoof, and then some more, I can't recall it all. I can see how it may have been a disappointment with all the extra comedy, and espcially if you weren't seeing the Dead live. Just on the screen. But.... But the music is from that single night, start to finish. The Dead Ahead is a compilation with special effects/visuals, and crystal clear video. This is good but not crystal. Deadbase lists this show as most desirable for 1980 with 64 votes (Lewiston 9-6-80 is second with 39 votes, boy wouldn't Lewiston be wonderful show to have on video!). The Deadhead's Taping Compendium rates it as a tape from 80 to get as well. Anyway, whatever marye says we will go with. Just trying to spread it around, you know. The Truth is realized in an instant, the act is practiced step by step.

The info that comes with the show Oroboros is talking about says they are cuts that didn't make the movie. And possibly from other nights. I don't know if thats true or not, I know there is 4 dvd's worth of film which has to be more than one night. I got a copy from Working Mans Torrent which is usually good about not posting released material. Of course I have some Beatles bootlegs that made it on to store shelves for a couple weeks before anyone realized.

Not sure, but I seem to recall this was commercially released. I remember this show and saw it in a movie theatre in Albany after seeing three RCMH shows live. I remember afterwards that I was dissapointed. Kinda funny in hindsight as to how spoiled I was at the time. "That path is for, your steps alone."

Al Franken is loaded, and so is Brent. He can hardly speak when they are interviewing him. It's a classic!
