Grateful Dead

l wonder if there is any more footage form that train journey from 1970. The rest of the set at Woodstock would be interesting too.

Oro, deets sent, mostly B&W top line powered by Bryston top line on Oppo player, 7.2 format. We also listened to most of Winterland 6.17.75 which I hope will be released in remastered form some day soon

Yes, the Blue Ray from 2005 is outstanding. Also love the added DVD with bonus footage, interviews, etc

Not sure if there is anything else out there before 1974, that hasn't come out already. The 72 partial Denmark show and the Sunshine daydream release.

Would be great if there is something else out there.

Too much going on yesterday so rewind on the 9 and of course ya can’t stand on just one leg lol
Good working music…putting some cabs and shelving in laundry hall

DMCVT: “extreme high end” system?
Ya peeked my geek!
send me deets

Finally... had the chance to watch the blu-ray on an extreme high end 5.1 home theater set up. I knew the incremental improvement to the video, however the audio quality on a system capable of such resolution was outstanding, kudos to those involved with remastering that. We do not have enough high quality video from pre hiatus days.

Great show

Worth a listen

Scotty needs more power
We need more GD70 releases!!!

Lol, just a wee bit more throttle than earlier!

Credited to the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band. Originally released in 1988. Nice album.

You'll be....very satisfied.

Can they keep the drive alive?
Been a Hellava stretch, they may have peaked slightly already?
As always, it’ll be fun/interesting to find out…
Onward!

Edit: (same review as DaP 53 page)

Finally worked into the rotation.
As a representative example of the tour/year, this is a fine show.
I can totally appreciate why Dave went with this one.
You have to think there is some professional considerations involved in his processes that we civilian nuts might not consider?
The audio is nice, the playing solid, nearly flawless, good selection of tunes to compliment other releases etc. So why am I not shouting “RJ”?
I can see how some might find it a tad subdued, especially the JG tunes, depending on how your pleasure tends, but I think that’s kinda on purpose, and perhaps not as exciting, certainly not a fault?
But I’m struggling for the right word to describe how it made me feel? I thorough enjoyed it, but perhaps it didn’t hit me as much as, imho, the peak sweet spot of this tour, the four from 9/24 through 9/28. Fortunately, we’ve been blessed with 3 outta the four (so far 🤞)…
The next four are also quite good, but perhaps that’s it, too “good”, like some of 77 for me personally, their too shiny clean and sparkly good?
Jimmy’s “super model” analogy?
They’ve been on the road just long enough to get jiggy with it via those spicy unusual jams and sequences, work out the kinks, and by Ohio evolved into a smooth, velvety goodness? So all good, but personally, I think those four or five, “worts and all” were more up my alley? Ya know, more dirty but daring? Obviously subjective conjecture certainly influenced by bias…
Fortunately, David himself discusses some of this in his notes, which to me intimates promise for more of this tours awesome, underrated goodness!

Actually listening to 10/3 as we speak and this one’s even better than I recall, though admittedly I haven’t given it a good shake yet?
8/2 was perhaps a practice gig, and 9/4 takes a little time to get up to speed, but then, oh boy! I felt 9/23 was good, but comparatively the “warm up gig” for the tour. But from there onward, mighty fine indeed!
Next up will be those awesome Oakland shows, then the 2 shrines for the first time. It will be interesting to compare them all upon completion!
Onward!
