Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

Thanks a lot Arkdeadhead and Mr. Pid. I appreciate your advice. I will see if I can find some of those shows. Peace

Hi there,I recently purchased Hundred Year Hall. Does anyone out there have the outtakes? I'm looking to make up the complete show. Thankyou. Adam

The wall of sound era is amazing!!! Especially when Phil plugs that quadrophonic bass in and drops some of those sweet "Phil bombs". Jerry's soloing is also sublime and really mellow. He really drives the band to a different level, and they take that ride all the way through the decade (especially '77). And aren't Keith and Bobby the first rhythm devils??? :)

Might want to give 6/16/74 a spin. 3 set show, outdoor venue, Wall Of Sound, and some rather interesting excursions. If you're not up for all 3:58:21 of it, focus on the Eyes>Big River, Playin and then Truckin>Nobody's>Wharf>GDTRFB. Don't let the early tech glitches fool you, it all gets sorted out. You can find it here: http://www.archive.org/details/gd74-06-16.sbd.fink.17701.sbeok.shnf Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack is also phenominal. 6 cd's. The best of the best. 1974 and the sound is awesome. Winterland at it's glorious splendor, a magic place you know. Don't go without this in your collection. It's is a bargain also, and mastered in glorious HDCD, which does make a difference. Crank it up and you will feel like you are there, and being there is better than anywhere,it's Winterland!

one my first suggestion I meant to say Dick's pick #4. I just got ahead of myself.

Well a lot of your descriptions are subjective to the listener. So, with that being said some of my suggestions might not be exactly what you are looking for but here you go: 1. 2-14-70 Dick's Pick TOO and Dark Star are absolutely killer and spacey as hell. 2. the Field Trip 8-27-72. For me this show is a melding of their really psychedelic stuff and the jazzy influence of '73, but there is some great psych-rock here. 3. Fillmore West 1969: the Complete Recordings. If you can get your hands on this box set, you will be set because this is their pinnacle of acid rock and killer stuff. In my opinion 68-through really '71 is the height of their acid era. So if that is what you really want then you can't miss. Once you branch out into late 70's and all the way until the end, you will find a much varied band that can rock-out on any tune on any given night. Not to say they weren't great in the 60's and early 70's (my second favorite year is 1970, after '77), they were--just different and in a good way. Happy hunting!!

I am a young Deadhead and I have been absorbing every dead show I can get my hands on. Right now I've been borrowing all the live Dead I can from my limited resources, but my hunger is insatiable and growing still. I am looking for suggestions of shows that are extremely spacey/psychedelic/out there. Jams that stretch on and on and take you to another planet, primarily through the instruments and not so much through vocals. Shows that just bleed electric acid vibes through your body and mind and leave you changed. Can anyone give suggestions of particular shows I should seek out?

Wanted: reliable person with copious quality shows (preferably without gaps) on CD who wants to trade. I have a pretty extensive collection, mostly from 70's era, but am always looking to fill some holes (right now the Northwestern 11/1/73 is much desired) and acquire more Brent era Dead. PM with your email and we can exchange lists.

I am looking for a great sound board copy of this great show. The "Dew" is absolutly amazing--worth while on its own. I have about 250 shows on tape but most don't want tape and I don't have a digital converter (yet). So I guess I will have to do a B&P.
