    Colin - excellent, thanks for letting me know. I was watching that dvd last night, and I feel the same way. Mind melting music, but terrible picture. The extras are a bit better - the ones from Glastonbury ( shame they aren't on tonight) and Reading have the best picture, and the guitar playing at Reading is stratospheric.

    These two box sets you have are considered to feature the most effective Ozric Tentacles music. There is an earlier one called "Vitamin Enhanced" - I missed out on the remastered version in the same style as the two you have - but the earlier one, on the Madfish label is okay - and has a great booklet. It's more formative, though. Quite a few tracks featuring Ed Wynne on his own. If you were just to get one, I'd go for "There Is Nothing". "Live Ethereal Cereal" features some thunderous live tracks from the mid 80's, but the sound quality is a bit poorer than the others.

    I discovered them through the Dead fanzine "Spiral Light" - must have been about 1990. They were amazing live, as you can probably imagine!

    Thanks to Dave Rock for the recommendation. I’ve streamed several albums over the past few days and none have been less than excellent. I thought that since I’d played so much where the band wouldn’t see a lot of cash I should buy some. I’m playing ‘Travelling the great circle’ at the moment. The DVD that’s included has some fantastic music on it., although the visuals are, almost, unwatchable given the level of flickering in the image. My wife certainly couldn’t watch as she can have migraines triggered by flashing lights. She loves the music as well.
    I ordered another box set ‘Trees of Eternity’ and expect that to be delivered later today. Highly recommended.

    Longer Playing in the Bands than in spring for one.

    Doc, bummer you missed the 28th.

    When people are brought to their first show by someone with more experience they should be informed that the next night will be a different set list, so come again.
    Different situation if each show is in a different city though.

    My second show was 7-17-89, I didn’t know that I should go to all 3 nights. Of course, I didn’t have the funds for a 3-night run, and I had a job that I was expected to show up at.
    Then made it to 7-21,22-90 but didn’t buy tix for the 3rd night due to the job, but then I had to call in sick anyway on 7-23 from a pay phone at a rest area on I-55. We left the campground late and I forgot to factor in that I was in a different time zone and was going to lose an hour getting back to my time zone.

    Yasss. How I dearly love the 6/28/85 show. And I appreciate and value the reports from folks like Uncle Tripel who were there! *edit* -- I meant to mention you as well Oro :) and of course Doc mentioned it recently too. Y'all are the best, ty for taking the time to share your memories with those of us who couldn't be there

    And that 9/21/72 show is incredible. I was also unaware... I've said elsewhere that it was just a random idiosyncrasy of my tape collection back in the day, but the latter half of '72 was simply unrepresented. I had some Europe material of course, and I had 8/21 and 8/24 from BCT and of course Veneta, but then nothing at all until Maples Pavilion to kick off '73. So all of that amazing Fall and Winter Tour was unknown to me until fairly recently. When I first heard the PITB from Houston in Nov '72 I thought my headphones were going to catch fire.

    The silver lining: I am still working my way through this INCREDIBLY fruitful and musical period in GD history, most shows being heard for the 1st time. What a treat. Someone - was it you as well, Doc? - mentioned Dave's 46 recently, and I'm about to give that one only the second full listen since I got it. Wonders await...

    today is JUNE 28th and it will be HERSHEY 1985...
    ..."with our highly trained equipment crew, equipment crew, equipment crew"

    I remember the rain leaking through the blue tarp that covered the top of the stage onto Kreutzmann's cymbals, and each time he hit it he closed his eyes to avoid the rainwater from splashing into his face.

    I remember Garcia dressed in his blue sportcoat/blazer and he too watch as the rainwater was dripping down onto his left shoulder during the 1st set with a look of WTH is this, (hence he sings "I feel the rain, and I taste the rain")

    Rockin' the headphones after this next cup of coffee and will be smilin' while cutting the yard for the next 2 hours (Birdsong > Comes A Time > Deal anyone?).

    everyone enjoy your weekend!

    Peace for All!

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.
