    Just got back from a show by Hans Zimmer and a big production

    Great show

    He does music for movies

    My nephew came to town and took me to the event

    Impressive

    Don't think it's mic's

    Some of these shows have static I think digital NR was used to attenuate the static and it took the highs also.

    Right now

    Despite the seemingly endless stream of box sets coming into the house I am actually listening to ‘Absolute Elsewhere’ by Blood Incantation. They’re described as death metal in the review in the latest issue of The Wire magazine, but I won’t hold that against them. The reviewer calls it a goddamn masterpiece. I’ll need to listen a few times to see if I agree but it is certainly interesting and I like to hear new things.

    Duke video

    Finally checked it last night, wow.
    Puts a whole new spin on things!
    These shows just got even better…

    Definitely overheads, but that doesn’t surprise as it’s the first 2 or three shows that sound different.

    Drums and microphones

    Check the 4-12-78 video, maybe there’s a good shot of the drum setup.

    See how this one stands up..
    Curious about the sound stage and recording consistency?

    EDIT: this one mos def moved up a notch from the one previous time I heard it.
    Really sweet show, perhaps most well played consistent of all so far?
    Perhaps same with the mix/audio…definitely cymbals now, and everyone is in their proper soundstage position etc, good sheet Mon!
    Overall, Maybe not some of the previous fireworks but very few lows. Only Ooops, and a small one, I can think of was in the otherwise delightful Dancing! It’s like their coalescing or morphing into a cohesive beast, but one with patience and finesse, and having a fine time doing so!
    Eager to see how the 15 resonates after this one?
    Mañana…

    Overhead mics: yeah, I’m well aware what they are/for, i was trying to imply that “if” she hadn’t used them at some of the shows, then that might explain less prevalent cymbals…or maybe they were used but turned down…
    since the pictures aren’t dated it’s hard to determine. In fact the pic on the last page shows Bob playing an Ibanez Musician Series guitar, which from the pictures I’ve seen (if dated correctly) he used from 5/5/78 until Egypt. So is that picture not from this tour, or did he use it at some point on the tour?
    I’ve seen pics of Jerry trying one out also, but no idea when?

    Drum mic's

    Among others they would have a mic over each drummer either hanging or on stands four feet above each drum kit since sound rises from the drums, cymbals.

I am listening to Dick's Picks Vol. 29 which contains 5/19/77. As a big fan of the Spring '77 Tour, the fact that Get Shown The Light was released, and that this year honors 40 years of '77 Dead despite what seasonal tour it is, I have been listening to the show of the given day back in 1977 if I can. So today, it's 5/19/17 so therefore I am choosing to enjoy 5/19/77 again, its a great show, however I like 5/21/77 more (also contained in Dick's Picks Vol. 29), but love 5/22/77 (Dick's Picks Vol. 3) in regards to the next upcoming dates. 5/25/77 is okay, despite the highly priced collector's value of it (Dave's Picks Vol. 1) it is not as magical compared to the other 3 dates I just mentioned. To each their own! I have listened to these shows, and so many more, countless times and still love them all. Have fun and enjoy. Happy 40 years worth of 1977 Dead and here's to another 40 more!
