Yeah, I don't think they are remixing the original album, either - just remastering.

Dead Set has always been a favorite of mine of their releases. It was sort of my intro to the Dead, so perhaps some of it is for sentimental reasons. Always loved the FOTD on that release.

Thanks for the info. I never saw the 89 show footage, I liked the . Esp. Weir and Garcia trading of verses. Another fine interview, too. I wonder what happen to the Moscow plans?

Paul's organ on Masterpiece sounded great. I'm curious to know what songs the band played going into and out of the breaks. Thanks for the links, I don't remember seeing the footage before.

Same here. Do you (or anyone) know their reasoning?

Since we are discussing tape covers: Part if the archive in New York includes (which would be cool to see): "The (link) Art of the Grateful Dead." Dick's 5.8.77 tape box. Dick's 11.7/8.7 tape box. Dick's notebook page regarding 5.8.77 show.

Great Pepper and Egg sandwich at Max's, too.

Part of the archive is in New York now through July 4th. NY Times Link It would be cool if they brought it to Chicago. Bring it to various cities, similar to Kerouac's On the Road scroll.

First time reading Algren. Good stuff. Straight Man is a great read.

Yeah, I was thinking how the flash would play in an Allman Brothers setting. I think he could pull it off, nicely.

Now that would be something. I think Beck may be strange fit, but a good one.

I didn't know that, I need to look into that. Thanks. edit:Okay, now I feel like an idiot; I see now how you can click on only the shows you want using uTorrent, pretty easy. Thanks again.

I like the show by show releases. The projects seem to take for ever to down load (my connection isn't the best). Plus I like picking and choosing what shows I want to download.

This show is on the radio now. First time listening to it. Garcia playing is especially great during this show. Over at bt.etree a guy as started to put up all the 73 shows. He's only up to April, looking forward to May.

Well that place is bit of a train wreck---apologies to anyone who's posts over there---trying to read through the posts to find a decent review is always challenge.

It has been Jay Lane and Joe Russo on drums/percussion throughout the whole Furthur run (last and this year) I believe.

Always loved that picture. Keith's feet crack me up and of course Anita's legs. Thanks for the link.

Great pic.

Greg Kot gave it a great review, to each his own. Since this is the supposed last CD, Rubin may have not had much left to work with. I don't think I would want a happy, happy, funny, funny song on a disc called Ain't No Grave. Then again I liked (for the most part) the Rubin produced releases. Full Trib. Link

70's/disco connection?

Yeah, lots of reading of letters.

What are people thoughts on Day Job. I was listening to the Grateful Dead talk show on the radio today and a caller called in and was wondering if Furthur has been practicing Day Job. I never saw them perform it; the song never bothered me much. I always like Brother Esau, too.

I guess a madhouse may be a bit extreme, the reviewer writes about the new influx of fans mainly due the Touch of Grey craze. The venue was in a rural area and of course their were a lot of ticket less fans/dogs. I guess it was your typical 90's crowd. It is a nice sounding show.

Listening to the 7.2.88 show from Oxford Plains Speedway in Maine. It seemed Phil was getting sick of people chanting his name. Nice write up in the Taper's book. I guess the scene around this and the 7/3 was a bit of a mad house. I caught the five Chicagoland shows in 94. The 2nd set in the last Soldier Field show seemed to drag on forever. Some of the playing was okay. I haven't listened to the tape in a long time. I almost did not buy tickets for the 95 shows at Soldier's because of the that last 94 show, luckily I did end up going to the last one.
