I guess they are making him earn his money. Yeah he is definitely earning his pay, perhaps the Dead can spring for a "body man" to watch his stuff while he is dancing.Of course, Lemieux is not going to be (at least he hasn't thus far) too critical of the band's performances, but there are plenty of other outlets for that on the web.

Analogman Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 I wonder if part of their deal with Rhino had to do with keeping him on as the vault guy. It must have been, otherwise he would not be working on the tapes anymore, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 You can pre-order them too. I guess this is for those who like to take risks. I saw that. I am quite content with AUD sources. I guess a lot of people still think the only way they are going to get a good show is by buying a soundboard source, or grabbing a webcast rip. I can understand if we are talking about people with Radio Shack tape players recording shows, but that is no longer the case, of course. But on other side, anything a band and it's fans can do to cut out people selling live shows, I'm all for it. Which is why I don't mind a band selling their live shows, at least it's legit.

I kinda like the Built To Last songs as bookend to the sets. I'm assuming the Dead work up a set list before each show these days(?) Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 He's still got a little work to do on the economy, but already President Barack Obama has accomplished at least one task that had appeared all but impossible just a year ago: He's put The Dead back on the road.Ha!

HungryHippo Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 my Winterland '73 box shipped early and arrived today! what a nice set! currently listening to the November 9, 1973 China Cat Sunflower which is heaven. the Europe '72 version is the gold standard for me but this Winterland version really blows that one out of the water. never ever thought i'd say that!
