    See how this one stands up..
    Curious about the sound stage and recording consistency?

    EDIT: this one mos def moved up a notch from the one previous time I heard it.
    Really sweet show, perhaps most well played consistent of all so far?
    Perhaps same with the mix/audio…definitely cymbals now, and everyone is in their proper soundstage position etc, good sheet Mon!
    Overall, Maybe not some of the previous fireworks but very few lows. Only Ooops, and a small one, I can think of was in the otherwise delightful Dancing! It’s like their coalescing or morphing into a cohesive beast, but one with patience and finesse, and having a fine time doing so!
    Eager to see how the 15 resonates after this one?
    Mañana…

    Overhead mics: yeah, I’m well aware what they are/for, i was trying to imply that “if” she hadn’t used them at some of the shows, then that might explain less prevalent cymbals…or maybe they were used but turned down…
    since the pictures aren’t dated it’s hard to determine. In fact the pic on the last page shows Bob playing an Ibanez Musician Series guitar, which from the pictures I’ve seen (if dated correctly) he used from 5/5/78 until Egypt. So is that picture not from this tour, or did he use it at some point on the tour?
    I’ve seen pics of Jerry trying one out also, but no idea when?

    Drum mic's

    Among others they would have a mic over each drummer either hanging or on stands four feet above each drum kit since sound rises from the drums, cymbals.

    Hmmmm?
    Another quirky good but inconsistent show?
    Definitely a creeper. Starts a bit off (technically and otherwise) but by mid set they start settling in and syncing up. Second set, like much of this tour may not be flawless, but their is some fine playing and highlights!. And I’ll have to find that video cause wondering WTH was up with JG at the end etc? Wow?
    These shows are hard to pin down, interesting run.

    True dat

    Absolutely no noise reduction ON THE RECORDING, but that doesn’t mean some kind of processing on the final release, and, it seemed like 4/12 sounded much different, especially in the frequency spectrum we’ve been discussing.
    There are other ways in mastering to treat noise beyond basic noise reduction, like, not your 80s tape deck Dolby…
    I’ve been looking at pics and some don’t seem to have overhead drum mics where others certainly do. But haven’t dug deep so don’t know dates that correspond to pics etc. Just wonder if that was something Betty was messing with as she’s known for her mic placement perhaps above all else…
    Also noticed JG moved into the center, and Bob to the left, (as per their stage orientation at the time) of the soundstage on maybe the 10th? Before that they were switched, and the 12 all kinds of things going on lol,
    Always fun to try and dissect things!

    Noise redution?

    No where in the notes does it state any noise reduction was used in the reel recording of any of the shows in the box.

    Will be doing the 15th tomorrow!

    Going to have to listen to the 11th again as I thought they were a little out of sync...

    Previously, Only heard this one once, thought it was good but overshadowed by the 11, 15 and 16th…let’s see after proper sit down if it matches the hype…

    Think 4/11 was tops so far, but 4/6 seemed to stand out too. These shows are sneaky good. Meaning sometimes you have to wait for it. The dynamics are often impressive. Not freight train Dead like you might expect from this period, but often nice subtle build ups/peaks. You can tell their having fun, getting loose and digging the smaller venues.
    Really tasty when their all in sync etc, (sometimes the looseness is a tad much) and 4/11 is a good example of being synced up!
    And DG has been improving nicely as the tour has progressed and has some real moments here.
    That Sunrise is one of the most powerful I’ve heard, and some songs she’s carrying the lead vocals. Meaning on shared vocals, she is often the strongest most consistent, which allows J &B more latitude.
    And the sound is great on all so far, but I too will compare with 37, which I recall is the benchmark of this tour…

    I do understand 4winds “cymbal” comments. Don’t have torrents to compare, but they aren’t prevalently splashing all over so ?…
    It doesn’t seem like an issue to me, and probably wouldn’t notice it if I wasn’t trying to…guessing mastering, probably added some shimmer to the torrents versus some noise reduction, tape restoration, age etc, or, perhaps artifacts from different machines used to record copies from the masters, versus Bettys reel decks and masters…

    4 11 78

    When i first heard it back in later 80s I was amazed at the post drumz sequence. I didnt know they had done it.

    Nowadays its like "cool"
    Back then it was like "wow!"

    At the moment
    4 14 78 looks Like Rain (never one of my favorites)

    Due to holiday no need to go to work so plenny o' GD

GarciaLive, Vol. 19

has been on my radar since the release in 2022; eventually I'll shake the short change from my old fruit jar, lol!
thanks for asking; had a great weekend with the FEAT, and even better when the wife and I got together with very dear friends.

Funny though, how BK (before kids) we were always hangin' out enjoyin' life, going to see the GD or P & F, and spending vacation time together, now 30 years upon our heads, absolutely crazy how time moves forward, anyway...
always make the most of what you've got, and don't take it for granted or push it aside, especially friends.

We headed straight for the rhythm and blues!

Saw him with Other Ones at Fiddlers Green 8/29 - just dumping rain during his set and it was a cold Colorado rain. Despite that, a fun night. Hornsby sits down at the piano as Other Ones take stage for Set I (rain had stopped?) and immediately begins tuning Dark Star. Friend and I just looked at each other with ear to ear grins. All in!

almost forgot about last week's 1974-06-30, most enjoyable and will return to Springfield Civic soon. Was reading the Vol 1 Compendium last night, and got to the incident where RAMROD got clunked on the skull by one of the tapers because he wanted to confiscated the guy's tape deck. wow, heavy, as told/written by Jerry Moore

...since the last NE show [6/30/74], so looking towards that energy boost with today's listen of Hartford 1974-07-31, got the DL many moons ago which was burned to CD and then imported to my phone (yup the version with the UJB encore tacked onto china>rider), so while it's not daP2 version, it's still going to be a FUN listen.

everyone ROCK OUT this weekend, turn UP the VOLUME, and THUMP IT!

Bear Family's recent "Memphis Blues Box" is a massive journey into the heart of the blues - from 1914 to 1969.

Last Dead -Shrine 11/10/67 from 30 Trips - although I listened to the record. Incredible stuff it is too, however you hear it. Starts high energy with "Viola Lee Blues" on side one, and by the time we get to sides 5 and 6, with "Alligator-Caution" it's like a train going offa the tracks.

Deep diving into late 60s jazz lately, Freddie Hubbard, Miles, Coltrane. Surfaced this morning with my first listen to Scofields Uncle John's band. Wonderful stuff, had forgotten how great Stewart is on drums, more his up next. Nice to see love for Live at Leeds and would humbly suggest to those who might have not, check out the next night at Hull, though much the same, still great and Keith Moon might edge his Leeds.

Needs to be a Dave’s, preferably DaP 51.

First exposure was in the 90’s when I got the CD. Played it many times. So got the vinyl a few years ago but was kind of let down that it was a single LP and not all the songs that were on the CD.
But, must have been awesome in 1970 when it came out. Maximum R&B!
Never got the Leeds 2 CD reissue, so maybe time to get Leeds reissue and Hull.

Trying to fill some gaps in my collection from a time when I was going through a divorce/custody battle [which I won].
Just snagged DaP 9,10,11, and 12 with 2014 Bonus.
Digging on Vol. 11 tonight.
Thought I would get the '72 show out of the way first. If everything works out right, I will be flooded with '72 shows next week.
