Analogman Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 A while back there was a discussion about the Dead downloads (Road Trips, inc.) that could be purchased over at dead.net and whether a .pdf of the liner notes come with the download - just read on the Hoffman board that liner notes do not come with the downloads (which kinda sucks). However below is a link to all the liner notes of Grateful Dead releases. http://www.gdreferencesite.com/albums.html Now I can read the essay for the Fillmore West 1969 boxset that I didn't buy.

Shug Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 That Englishtown show is ridiculous and yeah, that Half-Step from it soars and is the one I go to for probably the best version.....William &Mary '78, Mosque '77 and Rochester '77 also come to mind....Nice Half Step from William and Mary 4-15-78. Never had set I, but I've had set II for years, perhaps the most intense Bertha>Good Lovin' combo except for brutal lyrical flub in which Garcia forgets to sing the entire third verse, the capper with the "throw me in jailhouse" line. It would've been one for the ages if not for that, aarrgghhh! Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Nice Half Step from William and Mary 4-15-78.

It would've been one for the ages if not for that, aarrgghhh!Yeah, that's pretty much the meat of the tune right there, too. There's a show from BCT '84 where Garcia does TWO of the "I wish I was a headlight...." verses. It's funny because Weir is going into the final "I know you rider verse" and obviously Garcia spaced and thought it was his "headlight" verse and just belts it out again over Weir. I believe this is it:https://archive.org/details/gd84-10-27.senn.vernon.17414.sbeok.shnf Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Also - the Peggy O on 10.15.1977 is exceptional... No problem....I love this show... I'd never listened to this one before and I heard all the stuff you mentioned, its really good, especially the St. Stephen and NFA, smoking! Thanks for the rec! Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I didn't know Bob did an Elvis: The film does not shy away from this aspect of your life. For many years, you were a single man on the road, you lived a legendary rock ’n’ roll lifestyle, you met your wife when she was 15 years old and you were in your mid-30s. And now you have two teenage daughters—is that God’s way of laughing at you?Absolutely. Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I also have it and love it. If I had to pick a single favorite GD year, '73 is it. Goes well on my shelf with the Winterland '77 box. Sent from my Windows Phone using TapatalkI agree '73 is my favorite too.The Dicks Pick was the night before at the same venue 9-27-72. Fall '72, fan-fucking-tastic! On 9-28-72, Check out the sweet He's Gone>bass solo>Other One>Bobby McGee>Other One. Greatest Story rips, too.That sequence is THE SHIT.That Englishtown show is ridiculous and yeah, that Half-Step from it soars and is the one I go to for probably the best version.....William &Mary '78, Mosque '77 and Rochester '77 also come to mind....Boston '77!

Shug Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hilarious understatement of the century from the New Yorker article: "...and there were nights when at least one member was not entirely sober" Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Was listening to 12/16-17/92 the other day. Not a bad show and Vince (I'm assuming) doing Tomorrow Never Knows was kinda cool. I never understood the idea behind doing Baba O'Reilly but whatever... Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm guessing the idea behind Baba O'Reilly was that it's a cool tune. I never minded the GD version of it. I think Vince brought some of these suggestions in, obviously, as he takes lead vocals on them. Always liked the GD version of It's All Too Much, too. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I'm guessing the idea behind Baba O'Reilly was that it's a cool tune. I never minded the GD version of it. Sure its a great song but in my opinion it doesnt "fit" the GD. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I guess you could say the same thing for Satisfaction (and even a few of those Brent originals), but that usually worked too. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yep, "Easy to Love You" comes to mind too. I like that tune but its like a third pinky finger in a set list. Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yep, "Easy to Love You" comes to mind too. I like that tune but its like a third pinky finger in a set list. blasphemy! i loved a brent tune in the first set. i think vinces tunes (originals and covers) would 've faired much better in the first set. Way to Go Home set one closer? that'd been cool. his tunes really messed up the flow of pre drums sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
i'm only sleeping Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 'Hey Jude' comes to my mind as something they never should have played... Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 'Hey Jude' comes to my mind as something they never should have played...Definitely! Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Easy to Love was only ever played in the first set so nothing to compare it to, really. I didn't mind Hey Jude too much at all. Not one of their best covers, but it gave Brent another opportunity to go off. Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Hey Judes that I minded were in the late 60s or early 70s. Utter train wrecks. The word "execrable" comes to mind. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Of course you have to remember there was no such thing as vocal monitors then - or rather they were very primitive. Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The Hey Judes that I minded were in the late 60s or early 70s. Utter train wrecks. The word "execrable" comes to mind. Thankfully there were only a couple of them. I can still remember being excited when I first got a tape of them playing it (3/1/69) and then about one minute in thinking "this is dreadful."
