    2/11/69 - Fillmore East

    Not forgetting the above treasure trove that came out on vinyl fairly recently. Again, highly recommended, both for the music played and the sound quality. "180 gram audiophile vinyl" it says on the spine of the record, and it sounds like it.

    Pete Fountain 'Swinging Blues'

    My Mom's favorite band after she and Dad saw Pete and his band play live in New Orleans (1969?).

    And that reminded me of the David Crosby interview where he called the Dead "psychedelic Dixieland.'

    Seems about right!

    11-10-67 vinyl sounds awesome

    There is 69 vinyl.
    FW69 which was Plangentized (the CD’s were not, so the vinyl is a remaster) and 4-26%,27-69 DP26.

    1968 on vinyl

    JFCattlet74.....not exactly, but as close as damnit is 11/10/67 that was included in the 30 Trips box. That one came out in vinyl shortly afterwards, and sounds superb. As you probably know, this was one of the shows that was recorded and used as a basis for Anthem of the Sun, and it has all the hallmarks of a great 1968 show.

    Speaking of which, 2/14/68 would go down well on vinyl. I think they have steered clear of Road Trips for vinyl so far - something of an untapped resource there.
    I would also have snapped up 8/21/68 on vinyl if I had known where to get it.

    Origins

    I'm currently listening to the vinyl companion that came along with the graphic biography of the early Grateful Dead, Origins. It's a single-disc recording from the Fillmore West, 8/21/68. Side A: Dark Star -> St. Stephen Side B: The Eleven -> Death Don't Have No Mercy.

    I have only listened to it a couple of times before, it strikes me listening again this time that the highlight is really Death Don't Have No Mercy. The band is really tight and in sync, both technically and emotionally. There are lots of quiet moments and loud moments in the song, and Jerry's guitar works screams like a man in pain and sorrow.

    I prefer listening to 70s-era and Brent-era GD simply because their repertoire is so much larger than it was in the 60s, but there is such a raw, energetic sound to their earlier work as well that I really love. Aside from this single-disc release and Two From The Vault there isn't any other live material from them available on vinyl that I know of, I wish they would release more.

    Good thinking Joey. I've decided to drop down a few years for the sake of variety - and landed on 9/18/74 from 30 Years. At first it sounded very thin, coming out of June 1977. A bit rinky dink. Demonic country picking by Jerry apart, it took a few songs to adjust to. I've only listened to the first cd so far, which does finish with a soulful To Lay Me Down. The best is yet to come, as the saying went.

    I'm currently listening to the second set of this famous show. I listened to the acoustic set yesterday but got rudely interrupted by life so couldn't finish it, lol! Nothing left to do!

Currently I am not listening to music but busy organizing my huge music collection which I managed to mess up over the years :D LOL. Found a cool article while surfing the webhttp://www.netpegs.com/comp-and-tech/peg/cool-online-tools-to-keep-your… which forced me to think to organize my music as well... Will be busy with this for another couple of days :)
