    5/21/74 % vinyl

    I felt inspired to play this after reading Cnkds post. It seems that vinyl is variable in terms of pops and crackles. Mine played very smoothly, without any audible interference at all. I haven't always been so lucky. 2/27/69 has a bit of surface noise on at the end of Mountains of the Moon. And in the Europe Box set of the Lyceum shows, 2 sides were a bit scuffed - something which Deadnet kindly remedied by sending me replacements. That's a great album, though, that Playing from 5/21/74.

    But records are my favourite medium for listening to the Dead now. Mention of 7/31/74 - that's a big temptation to get that on vinyl. Whenever I am tempted, sooner or later...

    Sounds good but a lot of pops.
    Not such a great pressing.

    That makes sense. Well, it doesn't - but I understand what your saying. I'd never of thought of that.

    PSA: hey now and a famous ballroom

    Note to all: after much testing, I've found that the name of a famous venue at Post and Steiner streets is a 'hey now' offense. @DaveRock this may be a reason why it's been impossible to post about 1974

    So if we set aside the October shows, '74 only has 35 dates to play with. Of those, at least a dozen are released officially and are complete (or as complete as they are likely to ever be.) Then there are several more where parts of the show were used to create an official release (for ex., Dick's vol 24) or perhaps two shows are excerpted and combined (like with Road Trips Vol 2 Num 3) or even three shows (Dick's vols 7 and 31).

    When all the dust settles, there are really just a handful of shows - Reno, UCSB, Oakland, Springfield, and a few others in July like the Hollywood Bowl - that are still unreleased until you get to the September European expedition. And of that tour, I think only Munich 9/14 and the two Paris shows are unreleased. But then the question becomes, does the vault hold all the reels from each show? Pretty sure 2/22/74 isn't complete, and I imagine there must be others.

    That brings us to the October stand. Does the Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack represent the best we are likely to get from this run? Because I seem to recall there are issues with the master reels. My memory is pretty foggy on that point, though... and it took a bit of work to sneak this post by the "hey now" sentinel.

    I hear you, but they keep blocking my posts on 74. Great year - I'll leave it at that.

Why Can You Purchase Google +1 Votes, Pinterest And Instagram Followers?I have taught advertising strategies to thousands of since 2007 and the very first areas of confusion are to get a "clear" picture on what article marketing is, how to get started with it and the way to succeed web marketing without spending all your marketing hours on who's. I think I can help demystify the topic and a person quickly ways to implementing. Recently Hammer did the "Gangnam Style" with rapper PSY and performed set at a halftime tv show. Hammer's attendance at the Caps game prompted newscaster Michael Jenkins of doing a news report in "U Can't Touch That" rap style. Tags are the result after the # signature.
