AmirBagachelles Posted February 9, 2005 Report Posted February 9, 2005 A good deal ahead: The next Pure Jerry release will be two nights (4 discs) from the Merriweather Post Pavilion (Columbia, MD) in the summer of 1989. I'm a bit pumped, as it should rock like the first JGB Live Arista stuff. Don't let go... Quote

Chalupa Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 From what I can gather a "podcast" is a pre-recorded show that you can download to your Ipod or mp3 player of choice. I've been hearing rumors that a major announcement about a release of a box set of the entire Fillmore 2/27-3/2/69 run will be happening soon.... not sure if it is a hoax or not. God, I hope it's not. ---------------------------------------------- DavidGans - 11:45am Mar 5, 2005 PDT High Noon By The Bay Hello - This was emailed to me with no disclaimer on it not being for public disemination (which is the typical deal): "In conjunction with Apple, we will be making the official announcement on the 1966 Rarites download on Tuesday to coincide with the announcement of the 40th Anniversary celebration release of the 1969 Fillmore West Box. Could you mention it on KPFA Wednesday? Peace, Eileen." Dick would have screamed with joy - WooHoo! David Quote

Could you mention it on KPFA Wednesday? Peace, Eileen." Dick would have screamed with joy - WooHoo! David I have a friend who knows Gans. I showed the friend the Steve Hoffman rumor. Friend sent Gans an e-mail which Gans answered quickly as he wasn't playing tonight. It's a hoax. Gans did not write the e-mail that's being quoted. There continues be some hope that the Fillmore run will be released because it is no longer available on archive.org, and one would think some day it will be released since they have multi-tracks. But sadly, the Gans e-mail is a forgery. Quote
Tony Pusey Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks Chalupa, your annoucement had me bright eyed and bushy tailed with joy, shame it didnt last long....lets keep our fingers crossed! Quote
Chalupa Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Thanks Quincy. Yes, let's keep our fingers crossed and hope the powers that be over at Grateful Dead Productions come to their senses and release the beast!! Quote
GregK Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 I recieved my replacement Shakedown Street yesterday, replacing the defective one in the Beyond Description box set. Honestly, since that disc isn't one that I listen to very often, I can't even remember where it skipped! Quote
WD45 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 Oh yeah another for the Tahoe Pick. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Tahoe show. Jerry is on fire! Things tend to ramble at the end of the set, but those high points are HIGH. Quote
md655321 Posted March 28, 2005 Report Posted March 28, 2005 If you want to steam a wide variety of live shows. Some are available for download as well. http://web1.nugs.net/stash.asp?cmd=shows&artist=1 Quote
Chalupa Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) 40 Years Worth of Memorabilia Soon to be Made Available on the New Dead.net LOS ANGELES, May 17 /PRNewswire/ -- BIG INTERACTIVE, a Los Angeles based Digital Marketing agency, today announced that it has been selected by Grateful Dead Productions, curators and gatekeepers of all things "Dead," to redesign their official online website. The win comes after an extensive multi-agency review. It was critical for us to work with an agency that understands the legacy of The Grateful Dead, where we see our website going, the music, and most importantly the fans themselves," said Cameron Sears, CEO of the Grateful Dead Productions. The band's current site has been, since its grass-roots launch in 1995, one of the most-trafficked band sites on the Web. BIG is planning an innovative, user-friendly re-imagination of the site that will showcase exclusive, never-before-seen content from The Grateful Dead's rich vault of audio and video recordings, promotional material, and private items such as hand-written lyrics. The revamped dead.net will launch late summer of 2005. "We are thrilled to be awarded this win. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with such a legendary band. We're huge fans ourselves," commented Matt Minkin, CEO of BIG Interactive. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories....03633303&EDATE= Edited May 19, 2005 by Chalupa Quote
Sundog Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 Steppin' Out With The Grateful Dead: England '72 I've almost bought this set about 4 different times. It looks like a can't miss. What do you think? Quote
jazzbo Posted May 19, 2005 Author Report Posted May 19, 2005 In some ways you can't miss. It's great. . .b u t it doesn't have a cohesive feel of "one show" that I really like, so I don't find myself reaching for it too often. But there's no reason to avoid it. Great sound and choice performances. Quote
Sundog Posted May 19, 2005 Report Posted May 19, 2005 I get what your saying about the "one show" aspect of these archival releases. I really like that myself. I'll probably end up getting this one since it's vintage era Dead. Quote
Chalupa Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Steppin' Out With The Grateful Dead: England '72 I've almost bought this set about 4 different times. It looks like a can't miss. What do you think? ← Buy it. It is the best non-Dick's Picks live release that they have put out IMHO Like others have mentioned the sound is incredible as are the performances. Quote
md655321 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 I was actually listening to it as I clicked on the thread. It really is fantstic. Something about that Europe 72 tour that is, imo, above almost all other Dead. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Posted May 20, 2005 Maybe it's because they had those two sexy beasts on board. . . Pigpen and Donna Jean. -_- Quote
Sundog Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Just tacked this one on to a big jazz order I'm placing. Not bad for $23.95. Quote
AmirBagachelles Posted May 20, 2005 Report Posted May 20, 2005 Steppin' Out is really fine, many favor it above all or among the best of the vault releases. My favorite is Hundred Year Hall, also from Europe 72. You can't go wrong with much of anything from that era. Quote
sal Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 Anyone heard the release "Rockin' the Rhein"? Its some more Europe 72 stuff. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Posted May 25, 2005 After reading about this in the GD thread at AAJ, I decided to order this set this morning. I'm sure it's pretty darned good! Quote
Chalupa Posted May 25, 2005 Report Posted May 25, 2005 It's pretty good - not quite as good as Steppin' Out IMHO but pretty darn good. The stuff w/ Bo Diddley is hilarious. I ordered mine from GDP and got a bonus disc of material from the Academy of Music run from March '72. I'm not sure if they are still giving the bonus disc away. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Posted May 25, 2005 On their site they mention the extra cd is no longer available. Whew! I was going to have buyers remorse (buying it elsewhere) if it were! Quote
