No way. You could write about how you drove to CA and met Jerry three more times, and I'd read all three versions. Your stories must be preserved for future generations. Yer like one of the O-est of the G's around here.
Hunter's Trix all day long I love a great AUD if only a poor SBD exists, but generally if a great SBD is out there I'll take that - I love the vibe of a great AUD but the music is what's important to me. The crowd noise and all that is extra icing on the cake for me. That's where matrices come in to play! If there's a good matrix (HT is ALWAYS great!!!) that'll usually be my go-to source for a show
I'm such a deadhead--I just realized they webcasted 4/20/84 because Vol. 35 is that show. This makes the CD bonus tracks important.
Isn't this possibly actually 02/19/69? I think the old deadessays.blogspot.com had a piece on both dates, but I'm in work right now & the site is blocked on my office laptop! The later date would certainly explain the more extended jamming on those tunes AND the general level of weirdness/chanting.
The bo diddley night is the most unique of the run. We had good seats in the orchestra and the hells angels acted as ushers passing wine to the crowd. I politely declined having no idea what might be in there. The bo set was fun seeing the dead as his backup band. During their own sets there were a few rarities including a couple of only time played songs. It was the last American lovelight too if I remember correctly.
Grateful Dead '73-mode moving along with a show that, from what I've heard and read, seeded the Watkins Glen Summer Jam idea. This is from RFK Stadium, June 10, 1073, disc one that I ripped some 15 years ago. The sound is great and the Allman Brothers play and jam with the Dead during the last set. Dickey Betts, determined to out-do the Dead's wall of amps.
Which both wound up in JG's solo repertoire... "How Sweet it Is" and "Are You Lonely For Me." It almost makes sense to think of the show as a Bo Diddley set, a two-song "Jerry Garcia and Friends" set (which is how the show was advertised, right?), and then the rest by the Grateful Dead.
and the night before weir and ronnie Montrose played mt. jam with the Allmans during their headlining set.
8/13/91 Grateful Dead - Cal Expo Amphitheatre, Sacramento, CA I: Picasso Moon, Sugaree, Walkin' Blues, Candyman, Stuck Inside Of Mobile, High Time, Let It Grow II: Foolish Heart> Saint Of Circumstance> Eyes Of The World> Drums> Space> All Along The Watchtower> Black Peter> Sugar Magnolia E: Black Muddy River
Looks kinda of "short" on paper - 7 song first set, 6 song 2nd set. But the song selection itself is top notch, for the most part. I know Walkin' Blues could seem overplayed / repetitive, as well as Memphis Blues, sometimes. I was never much of a complainer about such things.... as long as the band was on the stage and I was hearing the wonderful sounds they were making, it was all good. On the Garcia side, however, we got Sugaree, Candyman, High Time, Foolish Heart, Eyes, Black Peter... and Black Muddy River. Not a clunker to be found there, no sirree Bob!
Right. The Healy ultramixes are their own animal, so to speak, as far as SBD+AUD "matrix" recordings go. Since they were done in real time (with appropriate time-delay from the stage to the FOH microphones) you don't have the phasing that sometimes plagues the after-the-fact mixes.
Moved onto One From the Vault. Or at least the corrected FM version of that show. Hooo boy. Not even a fair comparison. its barely even the same band.
I’m thinking of buying a copy of Winterland 73 to compliment my other 73 shows (DP 19, DP28, DP14 and RT Denver) However, having read the thread there seems to be loads of problems with disc skipping. It’s kind of put me off, I don’t want to have to listen to them all quickly just to check - takes the edge off Anyone had problems with second hand sets (Also, do I need this if I have those others?) (Or would Daves 5 trump them all?)
Yes, you need Winterland '73. Disc skipping? I never had a problem with this particular box set. When I throw them regular frisbee style, and keep the discs fairy level, they'll skip 6 or 7 times on still water before sinking. Never got a second-hand set so I cannot help you here.
Get it! My copy had no issues with playback and/or ripping. I eventually passed it on to make room for other stuff....
