calvino Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Now listening to 6/30/87 -- David Lemieux was talking about on his "This Day in G.D. History", today (he said he didn't have a 2/15 show at his fingertips). Anyway he told nice story - the venue is in a Canadian amusement park. With the price of the concert ticket, one got admission to the actual park, with it's rides and Hanna Barbera characters milling about.Seems like it would have been a fun day.This was his 2nd show, I guess, and he was16 at the time. Nice audience recording - decent enough show. I don't think I ever heard it before.

I still have (somewhere) a crisp tape of this show. I could have SWORN that Bob asks right before the "Scarlet": "Where's that guy with the hat?," though. I didn't hear in on the above archives link.

Even checked the '84 Ontario show (a 2nd set Scarlet opener, as well). That sounds more like the show I was thinking about. At least the warm-up notes/drum taps do. But still no Bob asking about the guy with the hat. Weird. Link to post Share on other sites

i'm only sleeping Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 My favorite is Promised Land -- Garcia always seems to rip it behind Weir vocals and rhythm - I never tire of that tune. The whole below verse gets me every time. Garcia is always great. Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia,Tidewater four ten O nineTell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'And the poor boy's on the line. Same here. My 2nd favorite vocal intrussion by Jerry in Bob-sung tunes would be in I Know you rider, and the 3rd Jack Straw. Any others...? Link to post Share on other sites

Shug Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The entire Jerry backing vocal or duet vocal in Me and Bobby McGee is freaking killer! https://youtu.be/Q-kyAF1JSVs or this one from Ladies and Gentlemen might be a better vocal performance https://youtu.be/SJnfdEX0QWk Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 I guess they definitely got Betty's boards back. I wonder what the story is there. Are those the tapes those people had that wanted 1 million dollars for or whatever? And hopefully they got the actual tapes. And not the VHS-Cassette dups. I guess Rob Eaton had something to do with it. Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I can't imagine them not having the masters or at least using the masters for the release. Dead.net is already down - guessing too much traffic. Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 I am watching Dave's video. I'd say they are the OG tapes the farmer guy had. He sort of mentions it at one point. I bet they did not pay him a million dollars though. Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 An entire book on the show. Seems a bit excessive, but I'll read it. Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Another May '77 box? I bought the first one, wasn't expecting there to be a second box. On the bright side, this will give me another chance to get on my soapbox about Buffalo being my favorite show of the month. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The previous May 77 and June 77 box sets are excellent, so no complaints here. Strong argument for the Dead at their peak. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 5/19, 5/21, 5/22 and 5/28 have also had official releases. Probably missing a few, but seems like the whole tour will released eventually. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Everything released so far from this tour, tho 4/25 is vinyl only I guess. At this point it would be nice just to have the whole thing, along the lines of Europe 72 and Spring 90.

mountain bed Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I am watching Dave's video. I'd say they are the OG tapes the farmer guy had. He sort of mentions it at one point. I bet they did not pay him a million dollars though. Here's the thing: they (GD) have known about the story of these tapes forever, and it was always the company line that they would NOT pay for their own intellectual property - which in my view is the correct course to take, even if *legally* speaking they did not own them. But they got 'em back, and what we want to know is how. Another May '77 box? I bought the first one, wasn't expecting there to be a second box. On the bright side, this will give me another chance to get on my soapbox about Buffalo being my favorite show of the month. Back before I'd heard much if not all of these shows I was always of the mind to say set 1 Buffalo and set 2 Cornell would make a perfect show for me. Link to post Share on other sites

calvino Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Has anyone been able to order the box? I went through the entire checkout process and then got bounced back to my shopping cart with the box still there. It took me forever yesterday, but the order finally went through. I think I tried for about 5 hours on and off. I figured they would had all it worked out this morning. Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Ha, just listening to Dave's seaside chat, he goes off on the Buffalo Comes A Time. "One of the best single song performances in GD history."Always considered Comes a Time to be a lesser Jerry ballad, relatively speaking. It's just kinda literal, and I think given somewhat elevated status due to being more of a rarity. I'm not sure that version comes close to Cornell's Morning Dew, which I think deservedly is noted as one of the best single.... Also, Buffalo gets knocked down a peg due to Sunrise. But would likely agree with Buffalo set 1 and Cornell set 2. Was able to get the box late last night. Dead.net redirected to Rhino checkout. Link to post Share on other sites
