Looking for Deadheads and interested Civilians

[August West]

Boston Garden '74 - wall of sound is why my ears ring now
Billerica, MA '79 - turned my college roommate onto live Dead
Ventura County Fairgrounds '82 - not the way to cure a post-wedding hangover, or maybe it was

I am transferring the master cassettes to digital files right now. Analog to dsd 5.6. Then I create flac files from the dsd's. july 17 & 18

I started this thread and life got busy and I am sorry I haven't been around like I should.
Hearing about the passing of Bob Weir has affected me. I've been a deadhead since 1971 and attended 276 gd shows. I recorded my first show btw. And a lot more later on.
The band played around 2300 shows. 2100+ of them are circulated on tape and as official live releases. I have them. There have always been multiple versions of the same shows circulating. My friend and I sorted them and there is now one version of each show in a tidy folder with 2100+ sub folders inside. Pretty much I only listen to Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia shows. I listen to these guys everyday. No need for a streamer...I got more to listen to in my library than I will ever get to. I can talk grateful dead performances with the best of em. Any questions out there?

Hard times as a time gone by. I have seen about 250 or so myself and I feel the pain as much as anyone. I guess the only thing left to do is smile smile smile. Always a Hoot.

Peace my friend.

Nice obit. in The Guardian today <https://www.theguardian.com/music/2...-dead-and-the-chief-custodian-of-their-legacy>. Prompted me to play stuff I haven't heard for a while. Listened first to Anthem Of The Sun, right now American Beauty: utterly gorgeous!

Hearing of Weir's death made me profoundly wistful last night... and with some sort of psychic 'hangover' today that has me in I am postulating is the source of a bad mood.

Has anyone heard about Play Dead? Streaming GD by GDP

 

[Krusty09]

Nope. I use tunein and stream gdradio.net

 

[Bruce Morgen]

The GD spirit lives on in the excellent performances of the superb musicians they've inspired.

 

[August West]

It's a new service. All of their previously live cd releases are on there as well as a tier with fresh (unreleased) live concerts. New official release quality at the rate of 2 new shows each week.
