Oil Can Boyd Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Fricke's top 20 shows - I know these things are subjective, and he had some nice choices, but there is a glaring omission - NO '73? ARE YOU KIDDING? BEST YEAR EVER IMO, AND NO KEZAR? NO RFK? NOTHING FROM FALL TOUR? JESUS, MAN! Sorry, I got a little worked up there. Pretty spotty list with some great stuff and also some big holes - but that's inevitable. I was only at one of the shows on his list (Augusta Maine 1984) and while it was a great show, I'm not even sure it was the best one I ever saw. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Do you mean BT sites? bit torrent sites? Link to post Share on other sites
Shug Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Tangetial to Fritz' question: For those who don't do bit torrent and all that, has anyone used Hijack Audio to record streaming audio? I'm considering getting it. Any other programs people would recommend? Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I'm not sure where the guy I got a lot of my music from got it but the Denver '73 shows he got me are sbd quality. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I was listening to 2.19.85 Kaiser today at work and it opens with Jack Straw. Spirited version and all, but what's up with the "one more time" after "We can share the women we can share the wine..." by Bob (and kind of Brent, too) in the opening and closing of the tune? Anyone notice this before in any other versions? I haven't. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 You can get Grateful Dead soundboards by way of bt.etree.org. Of course, you can stream them by way of Archive.org. Link to post Share on other sites

jimtweedy1977 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You can get Grateful Dead soundboards by way of bt.etree.org. Of course, you can stream them by way of Archive.org.Etree Mobile is an excellent app for the iPhone that can be downloaded and used to stream shows from Archive.org. Archivist is another app that can be used to do the same and actually scans your itunes library but freezes up much too often. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 That is good to know. I still use a dumbphone, so I don't know anything about apps. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Check out TRI right now: tribute to Merl and JG:http://bit.ly/YZtjkc Well at least I caught the last two minutes of Boogie on Reggae Woman - always forget about these sets. It did sound pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Merl's kid on bass, Bill Vitt drums, and a dude on keys with sweet vocals. Guitarist was great, too. Used to play in Merl's Rainforest Band..... Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone notice this before in any other versions? I haven't. Just listened to this - it is interesting - never heard him do that before. Maybe, Hunter was there an he wanted to fuck with his lyrics yet again - just to piss him off. Curious what made you pick this show to listen to - overall not very good show. Nice Minglewood, I guess. Picking shows to listen to out all that is available is daunting task - in 24 years or so listening to tapes, it doesn't seem like a I made a dent, which is good, I guess.

I like that they, save for the re-airing of Gans' show, play complete shows. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Was re-listening to Brent's last "Far From Me" from Tinley Park, IL (7.22.90) a few days before he died. Second round of the chorus he sings "....this song's my last fucking song for you, bitch!" You can almost feel a collective cringe from the other guys on stage. Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 8 May 1977 I'm listening to it for the first time. Holy Moly.And if you have time and space in your head, listen to the next night at Buffalo. Especially the first set. Often overlooked in the shadow of the great Cornell show. Simply the best first set ever to my ears, and that Comes A Time in the second set... Link to post Share on other sites
