Chalupa Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 Saw my last Dead show 15 years ago today. It also happened to be the first live performance of "Unbroken Chain". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) The latest Roadtrips is 5-15-70. 3 "regular" discs this time plus the usual "act now for the bonus." Some prime Pig on here for the fans. This has long circulated w/ the New Riders sets too. It traded as 6 discs and I think the massive size kept me from digging into it compared to other shows of the era. (I know one doesn't have to play entire shows and I often don't, but for some reason it was intimidating to pick 1 of 6. I'd usually pop in the Dick's Pick instead.) While May '77 is famous, May '70 is no slouch either. Edited June 15, 2010 by Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 This one I'm looking forward to!! Anyone- is the bonus disc from the Winterland 1977 worth looking for? I want to get this set- however I have everything else with a bonus disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While May '77 is famous, May '70 is no slouch either. WOW, One of my all time top 5 shows! I am assuming the first disc is the acoustic set. With the 6/18/74 RT release from last year and this one now coming out that would only leave 5/8/77 as one of those all time favorite shows I always wanted to get a official release and remaster. Damn it, I was going to take a break on spending money on music this summer but this is a must have for me. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm thinking of getting this one also, despite the "prime Pig." I love the shows from the early 70's, especially those after Hart left the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Mickey Hart is with the band on 5-15-70 (he wouldn't leave until early '71, then returns for the last night at Winterland '74.) Also there were 2 shows on 5-15-70, so this set is not complete. Finally the bonus disc includes material from 5-14-70 Kirkwood MO. Pretty funky scheduling there boys. If one is allergic to pork there are some acoustic songs that might appeal, and The Other One and surrounding songs is a great slab of music.

mjzee Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 On Amazon.co.uk, I just found "To Terrapin: Live in Hartford Ct 28 May 1977 for ₤6.95. It was actually ₤5.95 without VAT; with shipping, the total was ₤9.03 (= $13.46). Pretty good deal for 3 CDs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Has the GD "Download Series" disappeared from the Dead Store? I can't find them there. Amazon downloads has the series, and I wanted to compare pricing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vajerzy Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I haven't seen them lately...there's a few I'd like to have- but in the traditional CD format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontooneous Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Damn. I was going to pick up some of those downloads when my cash flow improves. The St. Louis 1969 show in that series is good for whatever ails ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 The Official Downloads are on iTunes as well, though obviously not as FLAC. I can't recall now if lossless versions of this series disappeared before or after the Rhino deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king ubu Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 gave this one a first spin yesterday: why is mine only 2CDs when this page here says it's three? http://www.rhino.co.uk/rhino-store/products,three-from-the-vault-3cd_103.htm is that just a typo? below in the description, they talk of two discs.

Guest Wallace Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 I must have over a 1000 GD concerts on cassette. But I dont really rate the band. How so? Well I got the cassette collection FREE off Craigslist (On quality tape and very neatly archived). The guy had it going for over a week and couldnt believe there were no takers, so he ended up giving it to myself (after I told him honestly I dont overmuch care for the band, but I hate to see something like this collection going to the trash or whatever.) Unlike most, I love the cassette medium and Ive played maybe a hundred of these tapes now. Certain GD periods I dont play at all. Being foremost a prog/psychhead, there is little in this band to interest me: juggband, blues, country-ish rubbish...ordinary rock. That's not for me. They did go into a slight prog mode with the Terrapin Station lp, but that was mainly just the title track. As for GD ever having a PSYCH period, well -and Im sure most will berate me on this - Dark Star and all that is more along the lines of fusion- ramblings than true psych.

jazzbo Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Wallace, thanks for rescuing that collection. 'S a good thing. I listened to a disc of the bootleg "Acid Test" stuff today. Now that was psychedelic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck - bemusing, too. The number of people who feel obliged to stop by on this thread to tell us how little they rate the band. I see a thread about an artist I don't rate or like, or one I or loathe ... I don't read it, let alone post on it. That's not for you? Hello! Goodbye!

That's not for you? Whats not for me is over-lauded bands. Are you Canadian by any chance? (Canadians are WAAY over-polite.) Or mayhaps you dont feel strong enough about music to criticize? If it counts any, my first post on this forum was praise, not censure. On a tangent: Im rather astounded at the number of posts on this subject considering GD are not a organ band.

jazzbo Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Lots of non-organists and non-organ bands talked about here! Jim has kindly set this up as a music discussion band. There are a number of Dead fans here, and the Dead have a large number of recordings to collect and listen to and discuss, so it doesn't really surprise me. Obviously, I don't feel that the Dead are an over-rated band and I'be been listening to them on and off since the beginning of the 'seventies. So I'm glad there's this thread! Looking forward to whatever pre-Brent material they reissue next. . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me almost all prog rock is "rubbish" - which is why I've never posted on that thread and likely never will. It's just puzzling in general - why a succession of folks, in the long course of this thread, have felt it necessary to post here, make a stand on such a crap band. There's hundreds, thousands of threads on this board that have nuthin' to do with organs. And they WERE and organ band for a very significant part of their history.
