imsjry Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I didn't know it was out of print: Dylan & the Dead [LIVE] This title will be released on March 31, 2009. What a waste that they didn't expand it for re-release. There is so much great stuff from that tour and you surely wouldn't know it from the original release. Like "Tomorrow is Such a Long Time" with Jerry on pedel steal for example....... Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Maybe the tracklist is just not correct for the re-issue. I figure there must have been a lot of legal hassles between Dylan/The Dead and their management/record companies to get something like that released once, let alone twice.

calvino Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I guess I should have read the fine print: DTS-Audio-CD 5.1 Mix I found the one I wanted at The Trader's Den. Sorry about that, I should have pointed that out. Speaking of Dylan and The Dead, did you see this on etree? Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Sorry about that, I should have pointed that out. Speaking of Dylan and The Dead, did you see this on etree? Not your fault - I should have read the description better. Link to post Share on other sites

This is a MUST have for any Dylan or Dead fan. Much of this is more interesting then the shows were. Weir singing Paul Simon's Boy in the Bubble is really cool too. Link to post Share on other sites
Party @ the Moontower Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Anyone going to the Dead Tour in Denver in May? I have been invited but have no idea what to expect. I was hoping for an ourdoor venue not the Pepsi Center. What's the show going to be like & is it worth my 13 hour drive from MO? Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Send Lammy a PM - or Moe. My guess is those cats might be there. If you've never seen em I'd say go. Link to post Share on other sites

ThisIsNowhere Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm going to see them at the Charlottesville show in April, needless to say I'm pretty excited. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I got word last night that the Dead did their best to keep ticket prices lower than they actually are. Went to bat to gripe about the prices, actually. It ain't their collective fault. It is what it is, unfortunately. Yeah, I'll be at that Denver show. Not sure how, yet.

mountain bed Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 2/27/69 - Fillmore West.... It's hard to believe...40 YEARS ago today - the recording of the song that launched a million journeys. I'd be interested in any of you sharing your first experience with the Live Dead version of Dark Star - I did have a real schweeet blahg all typed out about this last night, then a vicious thunderstorm knocked me offline and now I can't retrieve it (computer illiterate ). Maybe I'll try again later. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 So, I finally busted out the newest road trips (Sep. '90 - MSG). What an astounding set - disc 2 in particular is just amazing. But here's my rant: wtf is with the sound quality during that time? The DP #9 from the same time period suffers the same thing - Vince is so far out in front of the mix with some really 'cheesy' synth sounds that he drowns out nearly everything else. It certainly didn't sound that way in the room. Bill & Mick's drums are a flat "thud". Weir is almost non-existent with rhythm - you get the occasional strange lines in the upper register but little else. Phil is real warm on the bottom end but there's little of those trebly, snakey lines up the fretboard that are so uniquely his. Jerry, of course, cuts through. Thank God. They were playing SO well then - I just think it's a shame the sound isn't as good as the playing. Oh well. End of rant. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 What do you think of this MB: Here is a real sweet offering from the good ole grateful dead. One of the most underrated shows in the catalog containing one of the 2 or 3 greatest "Sugarees". http://www.dead.net/features/release-info/...?cmpid=terrapin It's still streaming at the Internet Archive.

mountain bed Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Aman, I'm on record as saying that I've never met a Sugaree I don't like, and '77 is THE year for that tune - there's a lot of the best ones from then. This one is fantastic, but I'd give the nod to 5/22 (DP #3), and 3/18 - maybe a tie with 5/19. Other really fantastic ones: 10/17/8312/28/798/7/8212/31/8511/24/78 Can't go wrong with any of those.

Analogman Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Link Welcome back to the Tapers' Section, and welcome to our first full week of March, 2009. For no reason in particular, we're going to check out music mostly from the previous week in the Grateful Dead's recorded history. It's been a while, so we figured we'd focus this week on some shows that took place at the Oakland Coliseum Arena in February, 1990. These shows were in the middle of a string of concerts recorded to 24 track analog tape by John Cutler and Le Mobile, a recording truck the band used for many recordings, including the bulk of shows that happened May, 1989 through April, 1990. Several commercial releases have been produced from these recordings, including Without A Net, Dozin' At Knick, Nightfall Of Diamonds, Terrapin Limited, as well as some parts of the So Many Roads boxed set. Not only are the recordings phenomenal, but the band was playing particularly well in 1989-1990, so there are hopefully more releases to come from these shows. Our first jam this week is from the first night in Oakland, 2/25/90, featuring China Cat Sunflower>I Know You Rider, Just A Little Light, Estimated Prophet>Eyes of the World. We don't get to play too many versions of Just A Little Light, and sandwiched between these two classic Grateful Dead jams, we thought now was a good time. Next up, from the second show, is the soaring Scarlet Begonias>Fire On The Mountain from 2/26/90. This, along with the 7/7/89 and 3/22/90 versions of Scarlet>Fire demonstrate why this is one of my favourite eras for this pairing. Our last installment of the Oakland February, 1990 run is the post-Drums sequence from 2/27/90, consisting of The Other One>Morning Dew>Throwing Stones>Not Fade Away, We Bid You Goodnight. Simply dynamite. The Spring tour of 1990 would start just over two weeks later on 3/14/90 and would prove to be one of the best tours of the band's final decade. Lastly this week, just to shake things up and get us out of 1990, we have this terrific set closing sequence from 10/18/78 at Winterland, featuring Mojo Jam>Wharf Rat>Truckin', I Need A Miracle. Another magical jam from the From Egypt With Love concerts. Be sure to join us next week for some great stuff from 1981 and 1993, a couple of years we don't hit often here at the Tapers' Section.

calvino Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Dead rehearsing for upcoming tour. (a good thing to see) Unfortunately I am at a computer with no speakers, so I don't know how it sounds. Link to post Share on other sites

I finally heard it. Weir's voice sounded great as well as the rest. It's nice that they are continuing to release these YouTube clips, it definitely perks up my interest with each one. Looking forward to catching a show. Link to post Share on other sites
darkstar Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 2/27/69 - Fillmore West.... It's hard to believe...40 YEARS ago today - the recording of the song that launched a million journeys. I'd be interested in any of you sharing your first experience with the Live Dead version of Dark Star - I did have a real schweeet blahg all typed out about this last night, then a vicious thunderstorm knocked me offline and now I can't retrieve it (computer illiterate ). Maybe I'll try again later. That was the one that did it for me. I had a friend back in Jr. High (no pun intended) whose older brother turned us on to the Dead with that tune. This would have been back in 1976. We had the day off from school 'cause of a blizzard and we were hangin' out in my friends cellar planning on building a snow fort and his brother walks in and says we gotta listen to this. He put on Live Dead and proceeded to get us stoned (it was like my third time ever). When Darkstar came on I was completely mezmerized. That slow, snaky intro....and on and on and on it went. The snow fort never got built that day, and even now over 30 years later I have never been so high in my life. Truly a benchmark moment. One listen and I was hooked for life. Even though there is tons of great other music I really love,that one song in all it's incantations just has it all. It's auditory infinity. Nothing else even comes close. I don't listen to that particular (Live/Dead) version nearly as often as I used to but every time I play it, it all comes back. Being able to hear it in the full context (on the Fillmore box set) made it that much better. Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I am thinking about getting this one (Steppin out with the GD) but I'm confused that some say Live in parenthesis and some don't. Is this CD not entirely Live? I was also thinking about getting Dick's Picks #8 but I was reading about some of these being 2 track vs. multitrack and that they may not sound as good so I was unsure about that. I'm making this more complicated than it has to be but these CD's are not cheap. Steppin out is $32 and Dick's Picks is like $42 on amazon which is a lot of coin for me. Disc: 11.

As far as cost goes I would purchase the cd's directly from dead.net It should be much cheaper. Even a 6 disk Dick's (the "biggest') is only $33. This being all said, I seem to remember in another thread that you won an Amazon gift card of sorts, so I guess that is why you getting it there. The dick's pick does seem a bit pricey though.
