I'll probably get it. Playing In The Band is one of my favorite GD books.

The new Jackson/Gans book is out now also: This Is All A Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History of The Grateful Dead

I have that. It is certainly one of the best rock documentaries I own. I guess the thing about this new book is that Zanes got Stan to participate in the interview process.

I ordered the 2 disc version from Amazon yesterday. I guess I will get it sometime this week.

I suppose I got out those albums due to the press about the new book that is out. I may have to read it.

I'm listening to all the TP albums today: When you listen to the albums in order you really notice how the songs/sound changes. The first three have a definite sound and then it changes with Hard Promises and then again with Southern Accents. I have to say I end up skipping most of that album up through Into The Great Wide Open. To me - I really like the run of albums from Wildflowers up through Echo. I have not really listened to the last two albums enough to say anything about them. I have been reading about a Wildflowers boxset/deluxe edition that is suppose to be coming out sometime.

The last few albums are not like the early stuff. Also - Max Johnston played with them for a while (Springtime).

I am surprised I could not find the old Freakwater thread. It must have disappeared.

They have a new album coming out this winter. They are now on the Bloodshot label. If you have never listened to Freakwater - listen to It Feels Like The Third Time first. Because that is the first one I ever bought. And I'm fantastic.

I know someone who won some of those free tickets to one of the upcoming shows today. He was already planning on going to one show - so now he can go to two shows. He's a fan of John Mayer and The GD so I am glad to see he got the tickets.

I can understand that. Thanks for the answer.

Has anyone heard the re-master yet? I am curious about the sound before I go buy it. I say that as I recently got burned on the Old 97s Too Far To Care re-master. That thing sounds like someone went through the brick wall with the treble turned up almost all the way.

I was thinking maybe there was a plain dvd release - maybe there isn't. I don't own a Blu-ray player or surround sound system.

I don't know if I will buy this or not: The Beatles - 1 (CD/Blu-ray audio/video) - November 6th 2015

I read some review a while back where the reviewer said something along the lines of "I hope they don't end up together" or something like that. I figured right away they had not read the books.

One crime and some sort of running story throughout the books. I have had to read the books out of order - due to availability.

I am now reading all the books. Or at least the ones I can get on my Nook from the local digital library. She's like that in the books also.

That's right. You can now.

That first album is great though. I had it on 8-track. They certainly had their own sound.

Although I respect Judas Priest (although now they are sort of a joke) I really only care for the first two albums. And maybe British Steel.

The Ties That Bind: The River Collection (December 4th 2015):

There are several bands that influenced Iron Maiden that need to be in there before them - such as Judas Priest.

Fare Thee Well Shows information: I didn't know they were doing this in a limited edition deal. I wonder if that is how they are going to do most of the commercial releases now.

The sound of those last two albums. Of course - I'm not much of a GD album guy outside of American Beauty/Workingman's Dead.

I don't really care for any of those songs - but West L.A. Fadeaway is alright. The sound is so plastic though.
