vajerzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 I reserved mine- received a comfirmatory email from them. Quote
kenny weir Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 My first reaction was "I want it I want it I want it". But then I thought, hold on - I don't even play much of the GD stuff I do have. And then I thought of all the different artists I'd get if I went out and bought 60 CDs. Then I thought about the Bristol sessions and Jay Miller cajun sets coming out on Bear Family this year - a much higher priority for me these days. The, ahem, issues they're having are mind-boggling. I've been watching this ongoing train wreck for years now. Fuck 'em. cdbaby, County Records, Arhoolie, cdconnection, Amazon, Worlds Records, Archeophone, sometimes Mosaic - places I buy from and never have "issues". Quote
vajerzy Posted January 22, 2011 Report Posted January 22, 2011 Yeah- big announcement then it crashed....that's not good. I haven't had any issues with them. This will be a lifetime of listening for me....hope I live a LONG time!! Quote
vajerzy Posted January 23, 2011 Report Posted January 23, 2011 This is becoming a big mess..... Quote
jazzbo Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Posted January 23, 2011 Yes it is. At first I thought I wanted in, but in reality I'll se what individual releases they come up with from this and snapw those up. I've convinced myself I don't need all of it. Quote
Chalupa Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 This is becoming a big mess..... Hang in there. It will be worth it. Quote
Spontooneous Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 The news today is that the big, big box is sold out. I clicked on the ordering link Friday morning and haven't received a confirmation e-mail, so I guess I'm out of the running. They're announcing that there will also be a music-only edition, without all the deluxe packaging, for the same price. But I'm not so sure about paying the same price and getting less. Quote
Quincy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 It'll be $7.50 without the suitcase which isn't bad, though I understand the feeling of not getting all of the goodies. Someone noted on Hoffman that the whole dang tour fits on one blu-ray disc. I think they should sell it that way with a pair of white gloves with stealies on them to handle the pricey disc. 10 years ago I would have jumped at this but now...well I didn't. I did play play Rotterdam though which is the first time in at least a year I've played a full Europe show. It's a good one. Nothing like kicking things off with Playing. It did enter my mind that with a pro mastering sure would sound better, but I'm getting pickier in my box set purchases and trying (though mostly failing) to listen to what I already have. I have all but 6 of the Euro shows and have heard 2 that I don't have. I'd be curious to hear those that only circulated as AUDs someday and buy some shows ala carte, but not enough to spend $450. Lately I've come to appreciate good editing over completeness (which has gotten in the way of a few Mosaic purchases too.) Quote
Matthew Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I'm still thinking about whether to get this or not. I have my reservation code and everything, but still... $424.00 is a lot of money... Quote

I am not buying anything. Edited January 24, 2011 by John L Quote

vajerzy Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 I received my confirmation code and I bought one....even though I reserved 1 set, the site was allowing me to buy as many as I wanted. Knowing that my credit card won't be charged until it ships allows me to save the money over time. Now I know where my money for umpiring girls softball will be spent! Quote
mjzee Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Anyone have info on this upcoming release? Appears to be legit, but the Dead website has nothing on it: Flashback with the Grateful Dead - Amazon Quote
Dave James Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Going to see the Dark Star Orchestra tomorrow night at the Crystal Ballroom here in Portland. I've never seen them before, but I checked out some video and they look/sound pretty tight. Looking forward to it. Quote
Chalupa Posted April 1, 2011 Report Posted April 1, 2011 Anyone have info on this upcoming release? Appears to be legit, but the Dead website has nothing on it: Flashback with the Grateful Dead - Amazon It's a compilation.Forgot to say that I saw Furthur w/ Phil and Bobby last week. Pretty good but I think I caught them on an off night judging by the recent set lists. DSO are a lot of fun. Quote
Chalupa Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 New Road Trips..... Denver 11/21/73 Great show. Quote
Chalupa Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Check out the 2nd set from 11/21 [1:28:00] ; Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo [7:35] > Playing In The Band [11:54] > El Paso [3:42] > Playing In The Band [1:00] > Wharf Rat Jam [0:05] > Dark Star Jam [3:25] > Wharf Rat [7:52] > Playing In The Band [13:10] > Morning Dew [12:05] ; Truckin' [8:22] > Nobody's Fault But Mine [4:44] > Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad [7:57] > One More Saturday Night [4:41] Oh yeah! IIRC, there are some cuts of death in the circulating SBD copies that I've heard. Quote
Roundsound Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Saw Furthur in Mizner Park, Boca Raton. Great set list. Great fun!! Exceeded my expectations. Quote

IIRC, there are some cuts of death in the circulating SBD copies that I've heard. Ah, I'll have to check mine for that. When I think of fall '73 cuts of death the 10/30 St. Louis show is especially cruel. This Denver show I think is much better than the OKC DP 19 (10/19/73). They did it right by making this the full show and including the 2nd set meaty* bite from the other night. *Beef reference is in honor of Owsley. Edited April 12, 2011 by Quincy Quote
WorldB3 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) New Road Trips..... Denver 11/21/73 Great show. I had a SB of that, one of my all time favorites. Haven't bought any Dead since the RT from 1970 last year (plus I passed on the 73 Winterland Box, though I did borrow from a friend) so while I don't need any more Dead from 73 I will have to get this.

Quincy Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Here's the AUD patch info on the Charlie Miller version of 11/21/73: Sony Stereo Mic -> Master Cassette -> CD (shnid=22096) supplies: Me And My Uncle (0:17 - 0:19) Dire Wolf (3:11 - 3:13) They Love Each Other (2:29 - 2:50) Let It Grow (2:33 - 2:58) Playing In The Band d2t08 (2:34 - 2:54) Goin' Down The Road Feeling Bad (4:40 - 5:05) And seeing how I have something lesser than Charlie's, this is worth it to have the "Let It Grow," "Playing" & "GDTRFB" fixed. Plus those precious 2 seconds of "Me & My Uncle." Quote
Chalupa Posted April 12, 2011 Report Posted April 12, 2011 Plus those precious 2 seconds of "Me & My Uncle." Now that's a cut of death! Quote
jazzbo Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Posted April 19, 2011 Well, tomorrow is "Grateful Dead Movie" day. I bought tickets to a showing here in Austin;should be a fun event, fun just seeing who shows up! Quote
mjzee Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 The Denver 73 Road Trips + bonus disc arrived today. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Posted May 1, 2011 Mine as well. Listening to the bonus disk now. Quote
