mountain bed Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Thanks for your unwavering dedication in these threads, Aman. SEVEN GD threads so far - I think that means were over 350 pages of talk about the band! I should print em all out and read the thing like a book. God knows what I've said in these pages. LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I just noticed the other one was getting up there. I read somewhere today that Youtube is also streaming the upcoming shows. Speaking of books - I gave away my reprint of the The GD Family Album the other day. I could hardly read the thing - even with glasses on. I hope to get a first edition by way of Ebay or somewhere. I would say I wonder why they shrunk the reprint. But I suppose it has to do with money. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Toss up between taking the as-yet started So Many Roads book by David Browne or finishing Sam Cutler's book on trip to Dominican Republic tonight. So Many Roads is heavier (physically) and hardback vs. the soft-covered Cutler read. Wonder if I can catch streams of Levi Stadium this weekend, too, down there.... Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 I recently ordered some more rock music books. Apparently - someone took them or they never really got delivered. Amazon was nice enough to give me a refund. I will probably get that new Blair Jackson/David Gans book when it comes out this year. Link to post Share on other sites

mountain bed Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ooooh that could be good. Even if it's things I might have already known/read somewhere it would be nice to have it all collected in one place. Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I think someone asked about that over there. The Europe '72 shows were multi-track recorded (16 track - if I recall correctly). The Betty Boards are 2-track (open face reel-reel) recordings. Of course, we all know that. Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm going to buy the webcast for tomorrow night. I'm too curious. BTW, aren't they jumping the gun with the Blue-Ray release? Seriously, what if the shows really blow or if there's lots of technical problems. Just some thoughts. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Finally got my Chicago tickets in the mail - must admit I was sweating a bit. Looking forward to tonight. Bunch of family coming over - grilling, bunch of rug rats running around - should be a hoot. Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Strange that the webcast is being handled by MLB. I guess that everyone is interested in a piece of the action... http://mlb.mlb.com/concert/dead50/ $110 for all 5 shows? Wow. There's a lot of cash that's going to exchange hands over this farewell.

jw harding Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 You can also stream from youtube, nugs.net, and pay per view on most cable providers. Not sure of the price difference amongst carriers, think some are HD some SD. I pre-ordered all 5 nights a while back for $80, seems pretty worthwhile to me. Getting antsy.

Vacant Horizon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Watching now. I'll just keep my opinions to myself. Interesting first set of songs. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Other than the UJB - I thought it sounded okay. Hopefully Lesh will give the lead vocals a rest in the 2nd set. With Trey and Bruce up there, not sure why he is singing any lead vocals. Trey seemed tentative at first, but warmed up as the 1st set went on. Bruce needs to be a little higher in the mix. Nice harmonizing throughout, too. Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The show did have a good mellow vibe to it. However, it was less than stellar and (mostly) a train wreck. I could write an essay about it all. One thing I'll drop is that many times during the show I forgot Hornsby was there. I'd love to see Russo, Phil, Bob and Bruce play some theater shows with a tight setlist. Link to post Share on other sites
