Saw this on sale on Amazon for $107 and just ordered it. How’s the audio quality on vinyl? I saw another thread that this show was meh, but I’m streaming now and digging it!

Curious to hear y’all’s thoughts on all the different ways the dead was associated with the “beat” generation in regards to the cultural impact it had at the time, not just within the countercultural movement, but more specifically, within early “Grateful Dead” culture. People like Kerouac, Kesey, Cassidy, Thompson, etc.. How did they come together and what did they represent ?

Would love to get an opinion from the community on what their favourite years are for live shows and why. Apologies if this has been asked many times before on here. 🙌

A bunch of great vinyl releases recently which will be on pre order or day of release for 150 a piece.... then two months later like 89 bucks..

So stupid.

I guess the thought or question is, they must be making these popular live vinyl releases in bulk at this point. Like Duke is now on Amazon for 79 bucks I bought it for like 140 thinking I wasn't gonna be able to get one unless I pre-ordered which wasn't true.

I would love to wait for it to be cheaper, but I would hate to miss out on getting dick picks three coming up soon..

Idk man, the fake demand thing is a hard game to play, with tickets to shows, vinyls, whatever. It's like watching stocks y'know

My sister and I were at a Max Creek show last night and we saw these beautiful stealie alpaca wool sweaters. I want to get my sister one. Does anyone know where I can find a dead sweater?

Looking for one ticket for tonights show! Would love to catch them, they always rip! Wish I knew about it sooner before it sold out.

I have this 2002 PS power converter. Seem appropriate to drop this here. Let me know if anyone is interested

I get that bands like phish are basically a business but the dead have like 5k songs on spotify, which is almost more than double what phish has. why is this?

P.S. I'm certainly not complaining!

I only buy vinyl for the sound quality ( the other aspects are a distant second).

How’s this one sound?

thanks for your advice!

I’ve never seen this album mentioned here, but last year I went hunting for albums of Dead covers that were unique and really good. This album stood out and I’ve been listening to it all year. I have no idea who the artists are, but their album of Grateful Dead music in Latin style is really fun.

Did three tabs for the first time (had only done one tab in the past). Never really liked the dead, I could tolerate it but not much more. I listened to them all yesterday, needless to say, I get it now

I’m running one of the Lyceum 72 shows tonight on vinyl to test my new basement rig with some friends. The legendary 5/26 is out (as we’ve already done it together).

The remaining three nights are all special in their own ways. I know where I’m leaning, so I’m curious as to what you all think :)

Which site(s) offer the complete file in one download? Do they also offer the cover art? TIA.

• 11/30/80 Fox Theater Chappell Matrix FLAC Killer show released as Dave's 8.
• 11/30/79 Stanley Theater Dusborne Matrix FLAC Great show w' a smoking Scarlet>Fire where Jerry does two split solos in the Scarlet before 'The wind in the willows' & they're both 🔥 The last few months of 79 especially were quite unique & I kind of liken it to the last 3 months of 71 after Keith Joined on 10/19/71 Minneapolis SBD FLAC.
• 3/24/85 Springfield Mass Mitch Hedgefield Aud FLAC I love this Aud! Very good, grab it up & put on the 🎧🎧🎧 I highly recommend listening to audience copies w' HPs, really good speakers #2, makes it better.

• 10/31/84 Berkeley Community Center Jim Vita Audience FLAC - Excellent work by Jim Vita.
• 11/02/84 Berkeley Jim Vita Aud FLAC You'll notice strait off that it doesn't sound like the night before. Jim was in a different seat w' different factors & you might like it even more but you might hear Phil more clearly or Jerry's tone is more 'true to life', it's one of the best things about auds.

• 2/27/77 Robertson Gym USC Bob Menke Aud This is a treat because there's no SBD other than the few post space w' Dew>Sugar Mags>JBG put on Dave's 29 as Philler. A very good 77 audience tape by Bob Menke.

I got a new guitar case and need some new slaps to cover it with! Where are your favorite places to get Dead stickers?

Robert Hunter penned songs such as Crazy Fingers, Franklin's Tower, Eyes of the World, and Stella Blue have this very mysterious ethos and feeling to them. It is almost as if the world these songs are describing is not our own. The world that is being described may be adjacent to ours, but it certainly isn't the same. These songs emit a very spooky feeling to them thanks to the Hunter lyrics. Tell me what you think about this

It does not strike me that the band as a group or as individual members ever intentionally tried to foster the culture that developed.

But I would like to hear from the masters in here.

Hey, first time on here. I am looking to get my mom an awesome and memorable Christmas gift. For backstory, she was a groupie of the Dead in the 80's. Her and her friends travelled all across the US and went to every possible show. She's also seen many Phil Lesh concerts and other renditions of the Dead. She mentioned this morning that she only has 3 Grateful Dead vinyls. I'm thinking of getting her a limited or rare pressing but have no idea where to start. Budget would be about $100. Any help is appreciated. :)

I think it was 1970 or maybe 1971 when they did this? Most of the shows were three sets, and for some of the numbers I think they had the New Riders guest with them? Anyways, somebody linked me to 11/08/70, which I loved. Looking for more shows like this, especially with excellent sound quality. SBD, AUD, or Matrix, it's all good.
