Grateful Dead

The 4-part Led Zeppelin vine was so well-received that I had to do it for another of our favorite classic rock bands. So here it is, the long-awaited, much-hyped first part of a Pink Floyd vine. This part contains 4 FLAC discs and covers 1969-1972, from the Man of the Journey in '69, through the great Fat Old Suns, Atom Heart Mothers and Echoes of '70 and '71, to the pre-album-release versions of Dark Side of the Moon. The '70 and '71 shows are my favorites (along with '77, which will come later), but let me note how interesting these early versions of DSOTM are. Some songs are played too slow, see Time especially, and were much-improved by the time of the album's release. Others, like On the Run, I think lost something when technology and tape loops replaced musicianship. Come to your own decisions, my friends, and enjoy everything under the sun... Part 1 includes: 5/9/69 AUD A- 8/9/69 SBD A 9/17/69 SBD A 2/28/70 AUD A- 3/20/70 AUD A-/A 4/29/70 (no grade, if I recall this is probably a SBD A) 5/1/70 AUD A- 7/16/70 SBD A+ 9/26/70 AUD A 10/17/70 AUD A- 11/12/70 AUD A 11/21/70 AUD A/A- 2/25/71 AUD A/A- 6/5/71 AUD A- 6/26/71 AUD A- 9/18/71 SBD A- 9/23/71 AUD A-/A 9/30/71 (no grade, probably SBD or AUD A) 10/10/71 AUD A- 10/17/71 AUD A 11/6/71 AUD A 11/20/71 AUD A/A- 2/17/72 AUD B+/A- 2/18/72 AUD B+ 2/19/72 AUD B+/A 2/20/72 AUD A/A- 3/7/72 AUD A/A- 3/13/72 AUD A/A-

Blair's recent blog about the Godchauxs final tour got me to relisten to it. There are some duds and some shows only have one source in circulation as of now. But there are a few upgraded sources from the vines that some of these were on and have since long been perished and some decent shows here. Again, offering up some sbd's, aud's and mtx's for those who are interested. gd79-01-05.naks.wiley.17342.sbeok.shnf (Only Source) gd79-01-07.aud.nak300.miller.87739.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-08.nak300.miller.87657.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-10.sony-senn.wagner.miller.113114.flac16 gd79-01-11.sbd-fixed.miller.102446.flac1644 gd79-01-11.gatto.kempka.308.sbeok.shnf gd79-01-12.claridge.kempka.309.sbeok.shnf (Only Source) gd79-01-14.nak300.wiley-miller.18460.sbeok.shnf (Only Source) gd79-01-15.sbd.miller.102389.flac16 gd79-01-15.fob-nak300.rolfe-miller.90095.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-15.111592.mtx.chappell.sb32.flac16 gd79-01-17.sbd.miller.102443.flac16 gd79-01-17.nak301.rolfe.miller.99009.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-17.mtx.mccabe.91783.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-18.sbd.miller.Patched.103186.flac16 gd79-01-18.nak300.rolfe.miller.100209.sbeok.flac16 gd79-01-20.nak700.moore.bertha.100025.flac16 gd79-01-21.aud.cole.19083.sbeok.shnf (Only Source) gd79-02-03.s1.sbd.fixed.miller.102876.flac16 gd79-02-03.aud.set1.warner.19414.sbeok.shnf gd79-02-03.set2-nak.clugston.7116.sbeok.shnf gd79-02-04.set1-fob-nak700.miller.32016.sbeok.flacf gd79-02-04.nak700.glyde.18888.sbeok.shnf gd79-02-07.sbd.cotsman.13879.sbeok.shnf (Valium Show) gd79-02-09.aud-nak.glyde.13848.sbeok.shnf (Only Source) gd79-02-10.set2.sbd.miller.97352.sbeok.flac16 gd79-02-10.sonyecm250.walker-scotton.miller.fix.97354.sbeok.flac16 gd79-02-11.naks.vernon.16468.sbeok.shnf (Very Distant; Only Source) gd79-02-17.ptch-sbd.tobin.105606.flac16 gd79-02-17.fob.menke.motb-0110.105240.flac16 gd79-02-17.mtx.tobin.105619.flac16 1. dstache

I also read somewhere that miller had an upgrade of 11/19. It was posted by him so it must have been on one of the torrent sites but that was a couple years ago (if memory serves right) and there is no upgrade yet (to my knowledge). I have posted my reseed of autumn 72 (Sept) and there are some alternate sources on that and there will be alternate sources for all of the 1972 Vines I reseed. I will post them accordingly. Thanks everyone for your patience and if there is anything anyone is lookinf for please PM me

Yes I have those sources. I have been working on reseeding the Fall/Winter 1972 Vines and noticed some other sources have come up since these were originally vined. Let me get myself together here and figure out what all I still need to send out then I will work on these

Apologies if this is the wrong section, but I've noticed a dearth of material from ''92 round here. Would some kind soul like to fill us in??

There is a discussion in the Taper's Section from the week of 9/17 re: fall '72 and it got me thinking about Oct/Nov and the less than stellar sound quality of much of what circulates from the period. I found that there are some upgrades to a few of the shows. If anyone has them or can download them and vine 'em, that would be great. Sorry if one or more have already been vined and I overlooked it. And if you know of more upgrades that just aren't on Archive yet, even better.
