Looks like the ol 12 tribes is in the news lately as a possible source of the Colorado Marshall Fire…
I have seen the video online of their shed burning that morning in 100 mph winds, looked like evidence from a criminal and/or civil trial.
So Steal Your Face is an album that came out the summer before I started college. Naturally, I had a copy. When I showed up at the dorms at UCSB (Francisco Torres) the universe arranged that I was placed on a co-ed hall full of Deadheads. I was delighted. Being that options for live recordings were limited--I had what was available on record--Steal You Face got a lot of spins. My memory of the SQ is a little dim, but my recollection is that it left something to be desired. Not terrible, but not stellar. My copy of Steal Your Face was one of many that I lost to a break-in in 1988, and I did not replace it and I've not heard it since. Until, now. The 24/96 remastering that's part of the Grateful Dead Records Collection is spanking. I've poked around to read about this remastering, but not seeing much. Others who have compared the original vinyl vs the 24/192 more recently, this is a serious upgrade, yes? Bill
Yes, the whole album was upgraded for that Grateful Dead Records Collection. I don't recall if it was a literal remix or a very effective remastering but the consensus is that it sounds way better than the original.
You weren’t kidding. That shifting momentum from Jerry in Truckin’>Billy(Drums)>Phil>Keith(!) >Jerry at the end of the first TOO really highlights how they pushed and inspired each other. The whole of disc 14 is tops.
I'd love to hear a needle-drop of the original album to refresh my memory, but I don't recall it sounding anywhere near this good. I'd also like to know what went into fixing the mix. Was always strange having a live multi-track show that was meh in the sonics department, not that I didn't play that thing to death. Bill
I’ve listened to that show over the last couple of days at your recommendation. There’s some pretty hot stuff—depending upon how one feels about Bobby’s slide guitar playing, opener Sugaree is either great or unbearable, though Jerry saves it; It’s All Over Now rocks hard; Estimated > Eyes is a beast; before devastation hits with a blown mic during Nobody’s Fault But Mine that zaps some of the energy from the show.
“Bebop baby, how can this be?” … I especially enjoy Mr. Charlie, Cosmic Charlie Parker, Bird’s Song, and Blues For Alice. “‘Cause Mr. Charlie told me so.”
Yes. To me it’s like night and day. The new-ish remastering sparkles, and shines a new light on the recordings elevating this from a “meh” to a “yeah.”
Can you imagine Mr Charlie Parker sitting in with the boys? Huh? I'm sure Jerry (et al) would have been out of their heads. All this stuff informes the big picture. Bill
Thanks for confirming. It has been so long since I've heard the lp that I wondered if I'd misremembered. I agree that the new-ish release of SYF sparkles. I didn't know. Bill
I remember my cousin convincing me to tour the bus after a Bob Dylan concert in Asheville, NC. It was quite beautiful. All wood interior. I didn't stick around for the rhetoric, though. However, I still have the religious pamphlet they were handing out that attempted to tie their beliefs with Dylan's Christian years.
Now listening to 4/14/71[Lewisburg Pa]on TIGDH on SiriusXM's Grateful Dead channel via the webstream now playing Cryptical Envelopment then eventually to 7/16/70[San Rafel California] Turn On Your Lovelight with Janis Joplin.
David Glasser remastered the Plangent transferred master tape (post mix down), using some tech that was not available "back in the day." David Glasser is a Deadhead, he is dedicated to making these things Just Exactly Perfect. His remaster of SYF is primo.
Instead of inflicting their subconscious desires for an apocalypse on the rest of us, these &#%$@! should just Kool Aid themselves into the Bardo Realm. Save everyone else the hassle.
There are not too many overlapping tracks, so they compliment one another. Now, if they give us the complete, 5 show box sets in 2 years time for the anniversary that would supersede both.
Because I thought it would be fun, here's a list of every E72 song in order of appearance and sorted by lead vocalist. Not sure about best versions of most of these.
