Lammycat Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I'll say it again but I don't mind his slide work at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 22, 2013 Author Share Posted November 22, 2013 Not everything improves with age, but Weir sure has. Well, except for his slide playing.Listen to him try to sing blues tunes when he was younger and had a higher vocal range. Pathetic. Now, he growls the stuff out like Howlin' Wolf! I think when he does New, New Minglewood Blues - it is totally awesome. I have probably never heard Bob play slide. I have always been partial to the Rolling Stones version of Little Red Rooster.

winterland121072 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 heres a perfect example of what I consider "clean" Jerry. I know he was in 89 and 90 for awhile but I think Brent dying hit him. You can just tell hes clean here and in a lot of 89 90 shows because his clothes are clean and his hair is washed and in a pony tail and/or clean and hes firing on all cylinders performing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhIVGQCeoaU I don't know. I think he started using the persian again in 1989, and he was clean in 1987-1988... Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Looking to get Road Trips: Vol 2, Number 2: February 14, 1968, Carousel BallroomTracks from the Grateful Dead show at the Carousel Ballroom, San Francisco on February 14, 1968. Any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I got that one and it's pretty good. For some reason, I prefer the material from the following year...probably because I love Mountains of the Moon, Dupree's, and the more developed Dark Stars. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Speaking of Weir and his voice - Amazon had the Move Me Brightly Blu-ray for $14, so I bought it - I think they did nice job editing the show - all, esp. Weir, sound great. Still irks the fuck out me that Hidalgo isn't taking better care of the '58 Strat that Garcia gave him - they did edit out the part where he took the guitar out the case and he mentioned the broken string - ugh. Also I wish they mentioned who the musicians were as the appeared - I had no idea who half of them were. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 I was wrong before - the only two Road Trips releases I have are: Road Trips Vol.1, Number 3: Summer 1971Selected songs from the Grateful Dead shows in New Haven on July 31, 1971 and Chicago on August 23, 1971.(The end jam on Uncle John's Band before they go into Johnny B. Goode is really cool.) Road Trips: Vol 3, Number 2: Austin, November 15, 1971The complete Grateful Dead show at the Austin Municipal Auditorium on November 15, 1971.(Plus the 11/14/1971 bonus disc) (Jerry's strat sound is just exactly perfect.)

IRememberDBoon Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 anyone else here have the pleasure of seeing the JGB tour in 89 with Weir opening?I hit Merriweather Post and lets just say the crowd was "electric" to say the least. Owsley must have been around somewhere. It was his or one of his minions work. Tough stuff Link to post Share on other sites

Tough stuff I did Alpine (9/15) and Hoffman Estates (9/16). Alpine was off the chart! Weir's set was mighty fine, and the Don't Let go from Jerry's set...well let me say I hadn't felt that way at a Dead-related show in quite some time. I really didn't know Clarence had THAT in him!

Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Anyone have the bonus disc that came with the preorder of the Closing of Winterland set? There's a really nice Easy Wind from 12/31/70 on there as bonus material. That sounds like a show that would be primed for release, but I think only a few tracks have officially come out. Love that late 60s to early 70s Dead sound. Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I was at both of those shows too. '89 was the height of my touring years, I saw about a dozen GD shows and then these two JGB's to cap off the year. Good times! I'll never forget that full moon too, that was awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

Tough stuff I saw 5/19/89 at Irvine Meadows. Something in the water that night made Melvin Seals look larger than usual...and his body had a bright glow around it and was pulsating with each note.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Yeah, it just popped up on my iTunes today, and I wondered where it was from, so I checked. Apparently, I've only got a couple tracks from that show. Have to see if I can find the SBD online in mp3 format, 'cause I just don't have much space left on the ol' computer...

Fritz Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Out of the blue I decided to download a show I've never listened to before (and there are many) based on high numbers of seeds on etree. I found 7 May 1977 and am listening now. Oh man, this is glorious. "Don't you let that deal go down!" Link to post Share on other sites
