I know I am probably asking about 3 people, since this community is pretty small, but posts make growth hopefully.

What do you think?

I find it rather silly. Seems like a very recent notion, and frankly feels more like a Rhino/Warner marketing campaign to me.

But I could be wrong, maybe it grew organically and is just part of the culture today.

How do you feel about it?

I haven't seen anyone talking about this, but I can't be the only one. I had my hearing checked recently so I know it isnt me, and I can compare some of them to other recordings.

For example Daves 59. I know the SBD didn't pick up too much on the cymbals (evident from Charlie Millers SBD transfer) but I hear them clearly in the AUD's. I also hear the more on Charlie Millers SBD than the commercial release.

Same thing with a lot of the 1978 box set.

Now either they are preserving what the SBD did, OR does Jeffery Norman just master that end low?

I know I am used to the old cassette days where lots of high end came through, but I feel like they have rolled the treble off way too much to the point of missing that part of many shows altogether.

One man gathers what another man spills!
Enjoy

You brought sunshine and daydreams to the world Alpine Valley WI 1988

This kid had such a great life. He said death was a reward for a life well lived, and I think he achieved that.

RIP Bobby. May the four winds blow you safely home.

I'm looking to build a dashboard around all the shows the Dead played, locations, songs, number of times played, first played, etc. And I saw a sure one time that had csv files with a lot of this info but I may be misremembering. Anyway, did anyone know of csv files for the Dead set lists?

The first one is ready on shnflac! Charlies posted google docs links don't seem to be working for everyone.

I know the story about how the band came up with the name and the definition of"grateful dead". But I have a memory of another legend or myth when it was said something like the path to the after world is guarded or guided by the grateful Dead. Did I just dream that up or has anyone else heard that story?

This sub is a bit slow, so I thought I would post about something relevant to today.

I know the Grateful Dead is long gone, no debate there. But there is a pretty big event happening in SF. Money grab, nostalgia hook, good time for young ones who never had a chance.... all sorts of opinions.

I have friends who wouldn't miss it, and friends who would never be part of it.

I wouldn't mind hearing the shows live, its a good time for a couch surf and see how it goes. Anyone want to keep a thread, post pics if you are there? I will drop some links if we have some for streaming. If there are any at all.

For those going, have a grateful day!

Jerry gets it. Bobby still looks confused, lol

It is said in the DK book that Phil thought this bumper sticker was hilarious.

May the 8th in your stash be dank and sticky and wishes that you have songs to fill the air…

Any one else see these and wonder where they got the idea for the logo?

They said the question was "Grateful Dead". We know that is not true!

They broke out Harder They Come, and I was listening to it on stream, and it was so nice to hear. Oteil sang it wonderfully.
