calvino Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Speaking of 73 - now listening to the 9/7/73 Eyes - off the bonus cuts from the Wake of the Flood release --- doesn't get much better. Jerry just kills on this, also enjoy Keith's electronic piano. Link to post Share on other sites
winterland121072 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The 9/7/73 eyes is great....I really like Stella blue on that show too (one of my favorites) out Let it Grow...The ending to Stella is sublime... Link to post Share on other sites

Vacant Horizon Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 listened to 10/26/89 from the 80 trips box set. very weird pre drums. Estimated>Blow Away!>Jam*>Dark Star. I guess Jerry and Phil left the stage and it's essentially a Brent/Bob jam. All these inverted chords and such. Jerry took the hint and called DS…i could see that having gone another way with Bob calling Picasso Moon or something. wouldn't have surprised me. Link to post Share on other sites

Multi track master, band in (arguably) the best form in the 80s (Fall '89, specifically), arguably the best Dark Star from the last 5 years. I really got off heavily from the upgrade from my old cassettes. Link to post Share on other sites

I really got off heavily from the upgrade from my old cassettes. The 10.26 first set is really strong - one of the best of the year imho. I really like the 10.26 star but will always find the 10.16 star pitb ujb pitb to be the best dark star since 1979...Fall 89 really was a special tour...especially with the hampton shows...

Shug Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I like the Miami '89 and the 10-16-89 Dark Stars, too, but my fave Dark Star of the 80s and 90s is definitely from 9-20-90 with the insane freakout meltdown noise jam! https://archive.org/details/gd1990-09-20.sbd.miller.108849.flac16 Link to post Share on other sites

What a show that was. I'm not in a position to compare and contrast it to other DS's of the era, but this night was a special one. I've been known to say second set 9-20-90 was the best single GD set I ever saw. Link to post Share on other sites

I can see why you would say that! That set gets me so high when I listen. I can't think of a better post-Brent set than that off the top of my head. 9/10/91 might come close, but that MSG run is a really amazing run. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I wonder why people think this is a good idea: A limited-run Grateful Dead bio-series is in the works at Amazon, with Bob Weir slated to executive produce and oversee all aspects of the show's music. The as-yet-untitled series is based on Steve Parish's 2003 memoir, Home Before Daylight: My Life On the Road with the Grateful Dead. In the book, Parish — who will serve as an executive producer on the show — chronicles his time as a member of the Grateful Dead's extended family, starting with his work as a roadie and later as Jerry Garcia's manager and confidant.

calvino Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 That is weird -- especially one based on Parish's book. Guess it be could worse - it could be based on Rock Scully's book. Both books seem to be most tabloid-like books on the Dead -- -which I guess would make the best 'dumb entertainment' type of movie. A great documentary on the Dead gear would be nice. Parish is pretty good in front of the camera though. I wonder if it is going to be shot like a documentary or one of 'music-bio movies' where actors are playing the musicians?

Analogman Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have grown to dislike those type of films over the years. I recall talking about this when the news of the Jerry bio film was being talked about. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I read somewhere the series was going to focus on the roadies, which is at least a novel angle, I guess. I don't think the Grateful Dead experience translates very well to film, as so much of it has to do with the feelings and realizations of transcendence, whether chemically induced or not.

Surprised Weir wants a hand in it, too. re: Scorsese film. Did this actually even happen? I'd read back and forth articles about it being on/off. Again, though, it's the 50th stuff, which doesn't impress me too much. I'd watch just because it's a Scorsese deal, though. Link to post Share on other sites
