Grateful Dead

Listening now for the first time in like forever. I will never forget when it came out!!! The clarity and the quality of this show was amazing!!! I also have to admit the first time i bought this it was the cassette version in May 1992, CD's were too scary and new back then ha ha!! bob t

....we'll get our privileges back. It's like we've become Clark Griswold ranting about his boss in "Christmas Vacation", but it's Warner Music/Dead.net whatever that has become the "no good, dirty rotten, low down, four flushin'..." you know the rest. Yes, we can freak freely in our heads, but sometimes we need to say the right things to get what we want. I guess this is a little bit like social credit in China.
So I'll start with this truth: "I love the Grateful Dead, and I appreciate the powers that be who bestow upon us all of these amazing shows".
Signed, the submissive piddling pup.

I think the way to get here is either through history, bookmarks or the Community/Products/Dead Store Products then pick the Spectrum show or whatever.

I am miffed why they took this off the products pages though. That was the obvious way to get here (at least from my perspective).

I thought it was cool to get a show with both a China>Rider and a Scarlet>Fire.
And it still sounded better that many of the cassettes that I had back in the day.

Seems that I was wrong about the ‘back to main page’ link staying updated with current posts. Appears that it is frozen at Jim’s ‘recovering’ post. Maybe it will update at midnight.

A fun show in a fun town.
:O)

I remember being a little confused by the vitriol this one received when it was released. It's got a great China>Rider, and a fine 2nd set... I'm not going to argue that it's a top 5 pick, but I'm glad that I have it... and I really like the artwork with its nod to Hofmann's bicycle ride.

Peace

EDIT: Oh, and the trainwreck Jack Straw. Certainly unique in the catalog :)

An ok show with an ok recording. Was released just about the time recordings from ABCD Enterprises were being digested. I think the first was either July '78 or Dave's Picks 18, the Orpheum?? At least that's my memory.

I wonder if this came to be because (1) it had been discussed probably for years as the cassette master/reel to reel vault issues came up and (2) they knew the Betty Boards were here and all would be forgotten by the time Cornell, etc. hit the streets.

Not that there is anything wrong with this release.. I just get the feeling it was released because the sound was a little better than it's neighbors (some of which one could argue were hotter shows). I guess I see this point of view, when all this is over, there will be many hot shows that did not get released because the sound was subpar (or the tapes didn't exist at all).

Just saying......

Click the ‘back to product page’ link in the upper left. Scroll down and the comments section is there and actively updating. It just doesn’t show avatars.
If you click ‘post a comment’ it brings you back to the page with avatars that is not updating (unless you are logged in).

Been recovering from an excessive and not planned work binge, plus terrible weather and holiday food week. It finally got 'nice' today so I needed to get outside and get some much needed exercise. What to play?

Decided to hit July 78 again in sequence just because it's been a while and it's so energized and up-beat. It sure did hit the spot. Made it through the first two shows.. Arrowhead was as good as I remembered. I forgot just how good that Peggy-O from 7/3 St. Paul was.

Oh.. and we need a new release, call it winter blues, a record store ready offering doubling as a one disc wonder from 68. I know they can do this... and they should.
