Grateful Dead

We've vined more than a 1/3 of the Dead's catalogue, including most of the shows from what may be considered the "better" years. Sure, there are some holes that could be filled in, such as the second half of 1969, a little bit of Europe or Fall 72, and definitely the early 80's, but there can't be any denying that the essentials have already been vined. There isn't much Dead left for me to acquire. And at least for me, there is some interest in live music from other bands. And, as someone here quoted Homer Simpson [from the Simpsons and not Day of the Locust] as saying, rock music peaked in 1975, a sentiment I agree with, and so I'm interested in "classic rock" bands at their performing peak. Finally, the Dan Lampinski recordings we are talking about have only recently been unearthed. They weren't really circulated until the last couple of years. And compared to many AUDs from the 70's, these sound very good. Mike Millard's Led Zeppelin recordings have been out there for a while, but his other stuff (Yes, Kansas) hasn't.

My wife .. I lucked out that she likes the music I like. It did take awhile for me to convert her into a dead head but my persistence finally paid off! "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"

You can take the Dylan Manchester '65 vine off my hands. When I get home tonight I'll post all the vines that have no homes and are sitting on my desk. The Dylan show is one of them. "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"

This is the meta data thread so if it's gonna be discussed, here is probably the best place I guess. There are quite a few "off-topic" vines already in circulation if you go through each vine page and see. I can't answer your question about Dylan. I would pass on it if it were vined. I would like to see some Kingfish. Not to poke too much fun at you but once you have been here for awhile, you tend to get a little crazy or shall I say, "odd." I am just plain nuts.

Not that I don't love Pink Floyd, Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis and the like, but I find all this convo about prog rock vines to be slightly odd. On a related note, have no Dylan vines ever been offered here? My search pulls up a big blank.

My wife hates Rush (and all the music I like). Some people are just not into music. I made a huge mistake of taking her to the 2002 Vapor Trails show. She complained about Geddy's squeaky voice and "was ready to go home" during the middle of the 2nd set. I had to hear "Working Man," from the parking lot going to our car. :-( She was left at home in 2007 at the Snakes & Arrows show. :-)

I just found a Copenhagen YES show from 11-13-77 that is exquisite - I don't believe it is a soundboard - but rather a very high quality AUD - I give it a solid A - instrumentation and vocals are all clear and up front - no annoying buzz - a small amount of hiss - no big deal though. I'm sending that along too. "when life looks like easy street, there is danger at your door"

Thanks Stuman! I'm most impressed that 'straw's wife likes Rush. My wife doesn't. I'd say that most rock bands garner a mostly male fan base. I would have guessed that Rush's fan base was almost exclusively male.

To give my honey some live Rush! That would make up for my comment ;-) "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"

It might be in today's mail. I don't have it yet. Thanks Stu!
