Unbelievable sound. Totally worth getting lossless, headphones, and full volume. I can’t get enough. What a set of shows. The separation of instruments (yeah there are some vocal dropouts) is unreal. And you can hear every pick and key being hit. I can only imagine what they looked like on stage wailing thru the 5-19-74 Jams in particular.

Absolutely agree. This one is really high quality and worth owning.

I've been listening to a bunch of '87 stuff recently. That was such a great year. My next favorite are the shows with Hornsby. Having not been able to take part, in person, in 72, 77 or 78 those are the two periods I enjoyed the most.

hornsby made me cringe. i hated it. especially when he dragged his accordian into it.

Would you have preferred Vince without Hornsby, I think not. I am sure we can all agree a part of the band never recovered after Brent but without Bruce in the band for those 2+ years I don't think there would have been much to keep things going, especially Jerry. I've mentioned this before, listen to some of the 3 man jams (90/91 mainly) pre drums and the constant interplay/dueling licks with Jerry in almost every tune and tell me they werent enjoying the shit out of playing together, it showed on stage and came through on the tapes.

^^^agreed. Hornsby got Jerry through the loss of Brent.

i didn't say i wasn't grateful he filled a role and let them keep going but the accordian was too much self-indulgence. his keyboard was obviously competent. dec. 90 at mcnichols arena in denver i think. popped open the exits after the show to be confronted with a ring of denver's finest mounted police surrounding the place. think somebody lost it on a trip on one of the days and ended up dying/being killed after breaking into a nearby home.

that was a rough summer. i was working in yellowstone, we booked back to eugene for 3 dead shows in june i think, brent dead a month later, srv dead a month later.

jerry died my next summer working in the park

Clearly the job at Yellowstone wasn't meant to be for you. I was at Tinley for Brent's last 3 shows, other than the gate crashers/fence climbers night one and cops on horseback at the 2nd 2 the shows were very good.

ynp was a better place than most to work it out

I have not thought about it in a while but I am not good luck for musicians. Was at Brent’s last show, SRV’s last show, Jerry’s last show and Luther Allison’s , (Blues legend), last show. I should probably stop seeing DeadCo before something bad happens.

I was at almost all of those MSG and Spectrum shows in 87/88, too. Was going to college in Philly and grew up in NYC so it was a no brainer.

Sept-oct in bean town and at the garden. Always fun, even during the end timesAttachment 251455. Attachment 251453Attachment 251454

This is The Dead at their best!

Not fall, not nyc or Boston, but pretty great

I miss that guy a lot. And that was a fun show, down the road from my house.

I kinda consider Brent's passing to be the end of the good stuff.
Not that they didn't make some good music after that, but some of the magic was gone.
I quit touring not long after that.

I just came across this and thought I would share. This is one of the better cover GD bands I've seea a vid of in a while.

52 years ago today the Dead played a ski shop. Seems appropriate to acknowledge on TGR.

Fun trivia. No recording exists. Some info however, including a photo of Pig...

http://lostlivedead.blogspot.com/200...-ski-shop.html

EDIT - better article on it. Coincided with the first North Face shop opening...

Ok that pic of pig with the “ society types “ is a classic!
