worldrecordplayer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I re-watched Set 1 of the Crimson White & Indigo DVD last night - a show from 7.7.89 -- the above fits Garcia description during the show.I just listened to all 3 discs of this over the last couple of days, and watched some of the DVD again. Love this show. I do not for one second sign on to the "Jerry sucked post-'82" or whatever view, but I certainly respect everyone's right to their own opinion. My opinion is I saw a good number of fantastic shows in the '87-94 period, Jerry included. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yup....I'd listen to second set of 10.15.1977 though...or 5.19.1977 second set... I have listened to 5/19 a bunch over the years --10/15 is not ringing a bell with me though - need to check it out. I don't own the Dick's Pick 29 --- so I don't think I have ever listened to 5/21/77 before (or least it wasn't on my hard drive until I downloaded it off of etree yesterday) -- the 5/21 2nd set is indeed a great one. Nice Scarlet>Fire to end the 1st set, too. Link to post Share on other sites

winterland121072 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I guess i'm in a minority but I think the 10.15.1977 show (or at least the Peggy through OMSN) is the best jamming of the Dead in 1977... https://archive.org/details/gd1977-10-15.sbd.129898.MrBill.flac16 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Heartbreak Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm still a little surprised that there hasn't been another '77 box out this year - containing Cornell - or a box that highlights Betty boards in particular. There was much speculation on dead.net about a so-called "Betty's Box" (a rather unfortunate name, but that is a whole other conversation). I would probably spring for either of those unless the price was out of control. As for the big 30 shows box, I have never been so glad to not buy something. I was sorely tempted to buy one, burn what I want from it, and list it on Amazon...but so many people had major issues just doing the cc purchase yesterday, I decided I didn't even want to do that. From a variety of standpoints, many long-time fans (on dead.net at least) have expressed dismay that the 50th has been such a total cluster. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'm holding out and hoping the will eventually sell individual shows from the 30 box, like they did with the Europe box. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yeah, that'd be a cooler deal if they did sell individual shows.... Speaking of Betty 'boards, got my CRB Betty's Blends Vol. 2 in mail yesterday Link to post Share on other sites

Until that person donates them to the GD (I've read that the GD won't pay for tapes), we won't get an official release. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I have a 5/8/77 soundboard recording that I was told was a Betty board. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 There are stacks of those out there. But - some have not been let loose. You can read a lot about that whole deal in those taper's books. I believe one person was asking a million bucks. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I have a 5/8/77 soundboard recording that I was told was a Betty board.It likely is. It's one of (if not THE) earliest Betty boards that heads got their hands on, which is (imo) a big reason that show is often noted as "the best" show. That show climbed to fame quickly because most of us had never heard that kind of quality. It IS a great show, but there were a lot of great shows that spring/year....

Winston Legthigh Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The betty board for the Cornell 77 show can be accessed on archive.org, but the physical tapes are in the hands of a collector, not the GD. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Sweet! haven't heard it yet. I'm always up for a "Rosalee," too. Missed on on Vol. 1. I guess they are limited and sell pretty quickly.

The speculation on the dead.net site was that Dave was "giddy" because a bunch of Betty boards had been returned. Turns out he was giddy because they are selling a $700 box.

Vacant Horizon Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 His voice and playing were excellent from 87-90, imo. He was actually moving a lot on stage, smiling, and seemed content and genuinely happy, as well. i agree with this. he got used to using his aged voice well and was more alive on stage. by 95 though his head hung down so low.

mountain bed Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 July 7, 1989 was arguably the best show of 1989 (from opening note of set 1 through last note of encore)...Hard to argue, although the 7/17 show I attended comes close. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Listening to 6/4/78 show this morning -- pretty wild 2nd set from drums onwards. Donna is kinda all over the place during Not Fade Away, GDTRFB, and Around and Around ("Spit it out, Bob!" ). Sounds like Warren Zevon's opening set was an interesting one. I haven't poked around, but does anybody know if Zevon's set was taped is available anywhere? Just finished up with the encore -- man, they all were flying high this night. Fun show. https://archive.org/details/gd1978-06-04.sbd.cantor.miller.94407.sbeok.flac16 Link to post Share on other sites
