Grateful Dead

correction: MOST of the month is graded well on setlist

I'm listening to 2/22/80 right now, amazing show. Not sure which vine this came on, perhaps as a bonus show to something. Many of us have the After Midnight release (2/28/80). I looked on setlist.com and much of the show is graded very well. A seed of the entire month, sans 2/22 and 2/28, would be much appreciated by this viner. Downloaders?

Hey Badger , That sounds good to me ! I downloaded some 24 Bit and it does sound really sweet !! I play it on my DVD player through my wal-mart suround systme , it works pretty well . In fact Neil Youngs new releases come with a standard CD and a 24 bit audio DVD.

Would there be any interest in vines containing 24bit/96kHz versions of some classic GD shows. These are sonically a great leap forward. Quite a few are appearing now and some of them sound simply amazing. However getting into 24 Bit requires another leap of technology. These are huge files ( 1 show fits on one DVD) and you cannot burn them to CDs. You need some reasonable sound equipment to be able to appreciate the sonic upgrade and you may require some investment to make it work for you. If you already have a 24Bit sound card or a DVD burner and a good quality DVD player you should be ready to go. I managed to get all the bits I needed to make the leap for around $50. Here are two links that give you an idea of what would be required http://www.pristineclassical.com/More/FLAC-24bit.html http://24bit.turtleside.com/ So the proposal is to start a 24 Bit vine that includes detailed instructions and web links showing you what to do. The first would be the jawdroppingly good new 24 Bit Charlie Miller version of April 29 1971 which has to be heard to be believed. If there is enough interest I will set it in motion. If not...well you won't know what you are missing :-) Please post if you are interested. CB

Today I gathered up all the vines I need to mail out, put them in their appropriate envelopes, sealed them all up nice and secure, put them into my truck, found my keys, drove all the way to the post office, parked, gathered up all the packages, walked into the post office all just to remember that it is closed today!! Happy President's Day! "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

picked up this: "Grateful Dead Productions will release a 3CD/1DVD Grateful Dead set called Crimson, White & Indigo: July 7, 1989 - JFK Stadium, Philadelphia, planning its release for March 30."

Did anyone hear about this ? 7-7-89 Release date: 03.30.10 I don`t know if it will be a DVD or just a soundboard CD .

Summer 72 will be next, probably a SHN/FLAC only vine. Off the top of my head. 7/16, 7/25, 7/26, 8/20/ 8/21 and possibly 8/22 and 8/24 (still have to listen to the last 2). Summer 72 is often disparaged, but the Other One's and Dark Stars are always exquisite, and, while the boys may take a song or 2 off, there is some delightful music in every show I have listened to.

cosmicbadger --Thanks for all your work I don't know about you folks, but there are a lot of missing or stalled vines. I wish MITD was here to sort it all out.

Just kidding man its all good, do whatever is easiest for you. And cosmicbadger - wow you have all the cool little gadgets, gizmos and other computer and stereo enhancements .. that's awesome man! I'm just happy with my iPod or listening to cd's on my little boom box. actually most of my music time is in the car on the daily commute .. but some day ... I'll get a sweet sound system... some day.. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"
