jazzbo Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Sure. But somehow if it isn't a show from Europe. . . it just wouldn't be almost exactly perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felser Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Anyone know why they skipped over "Live/Dead" in the expanded reissue program? That's my favorite GD album, for old-times sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 My guess is that it is related to the fact that they are sticking to their guns about keeping the '69 Fillmore box set (and I guess material} from being reissued.

orchiddoctor Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 But the Dark Star St Stephen and The Eleven Lovelight are spiced from 2 different nights. Had the issues the Dark Star St Stephen with the correct second part—that would have made a good disc— and the other half in whole as well.

jazzbo Posted March 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 No argument from me. I hope we see a reissue. But they skipped over it. . . we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orchiddoctor Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Also: no bonus material on the collected early discs. Just the l.p. Material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the box was the first of their sort of annual big box set releases and because it was such classic and lauded material it sold out fast and has commanded high prices in resale markets ever since. Among the faithful I've seen lots of queries of "why don't they just redo the damned thing!" and although I don't think I've seen an official response the assumed answer is that they don't plan on doing that, period. They mean these sets to be limited and have stuck to their guns. I'd love to see it redone. In a moment of idiocy I let mine go. I certainly would love to have a Plangent Process remaster of the "Live/Dead" release with some extra material. I have not seen an official reason why we haven't had one, nor a statement we won't. I have a nice SHM-CD version from Japan I listen to when I get the itch and don't want to hear my original vinyl 2 LP with its snap crackle and pop.

orchiddoctor Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Could have added a bonus show as an alternative. Like the whole set with Clementine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdgray Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) My thoughts on not reissuing Fillmore West box could be related to the RSD Day releases of 2/27/69 and 2/28/69 on vinyl. RSD 2/27/69 has the Dark Star and St Stephen from Live Dead. I did order vinyl and 2cd set for Grateful Dead’s latest release. I was surprised that 2 CD set is sold out on Dead.net Edited March 26, 2021 by Gdgray Stupid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdgray Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) RSD 2021 5/3/72 Paris , Olympia Theatre 6 LP Show from Europe 72 box.

Gdgray Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) The nice thing is the quantity is 6700 , which should make them available without going out on RSD. I generally buy the RSD vinyl sets on line at Plaidroom which doesn’t mark them up. The Miles’s Jack Johnson vinyl set looks good as well, has tracks that are only available on the Complete Jack Johnson CD set. Bought the RSD offerings of IASW and BB sets in the past ....very enjoyable. Edited April 8, 2021 by Gdgray Adding comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 The Grateful Dead Olympia Theatre is 6 LPS and 11 sides of music plus an etched side. Not likely but it would be nice if it was going to be some bright psychedelic design... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchiddoctor Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 It would be nice if they put some music on that side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orchiddoctor Posted June 11, 2021 Report Share Posted June 11, 2021 Dave’s Picks #2,376: Nassau. what a godawful release from an otherwise fine year. I don’t think a single song is listenable. I could just do an “I was at these shows” post (I was) and write about how spectacular they were (they weren’t. Nassau was way overpacked, rowdy, annoying, and the band was drowning each night). Are they running out of excellent shows that were taped, aren’t cut up, poorly recorded, or missing reels? Sooner or later it’s bound to happen. Time for Pigpen’s greatest hits.

mjzee Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Looks like the deadlists.com website is offline. Hope it doesn't mean anything. Also, a new Dead box was announced today: 7 shows from St. Louis 1971-73. Looks interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gdgray Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Unbelievable. Just got SF vinyl and cd set as well as RSD Olympia 72. I’m supposed to be downsizing but now I’m ordering The River and the Dylan spring. I’m practicing my speech for my wife , that I will get back to downsizing after this. Got a week she is visiting colleges with our daughter. However I’m a bit excited , these are some of my favorite Dead years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
