How do Deadheads Feel About Rap?

I asked a similar question a while ago about jazz. The consensus that time around was that most of us loved jazz. I figured I'd ask about another genre, only this time one that is stylistically very different from the music of the Dead. How do you fantastic people feel about rap music? Personally, I'm a fan of a lot of what I've heard, though I'm still pretty new to the genre.

They just blew the roof off the joint last night! If you haven't checked these guys out yet, do yourself a favor and find them. They have some good videos on YouTube, and lots of free downloads on archive.org

Just found this at the antique faire for $50. What do you guys think?

Was it a bargain? There’s definitely some damage and looks like there’s mold spots. Anyone know anything about it? I’m personally very excited about this find.

Bob Weir in Cincinnati?

That’s the talk for tonight’s Goose show. Get a ticket if this might be your chance to see him. Still just a rumor but everyone likes rumors…

"Book Club" Week 1: 06/08/74

I know a few people had mentioned wanting to join in on the weekly "book club" I was embarking on, so I figured I would put up a weekly post for it. We'll be listening to the June 74 tour. This week is week 1, so we begin with 6/8/74!

Guidelines

This is a very chill endeavor. I'll list the ways I generally approach it and some things I think make for better discussion, but don't feel like any of this is something you have to do. Want to skip a week? Join partway through? Drop off after 3 shows? Listen and never discuss? All totally fine.

  • Listen to the show. I try to get through the whole show once a day for a week because I have a lot of listening time. If that's not you, do what you want! Pick whatever source you like; for this week, I see 5 options on my Relisten list and just happened to start with the first one. If your source is relevant to your comments, note what it is. I might listen to all 5, I might not.
  • Think about the show. What's your reaction? Do you love this BEW? Is this the worst Promised Land you've heard? Why? Does Keith sound like he's playing in a sepia-toned saloon? What's Phil doing to your bones? How is Jerry's voice? How does this compare to other shows you've heard? What's the vibe of the show as a whole? etc etc
  • Discuss the show. With people around you or here on this thread, discuss your thoughts. Engage with other people's thoughts. Do you know a lot about music and want to nerd out about the harmonic movement and changes in tension? Go for it! Do you know nothing except that this Wharf Rat made things feel ok for a minute? Also great!

(Just because this is the internet, I thought it might also help to put out there what good discussion can look like. If someone says something you absolutely don't agree with and it boggles your mind how someone could listen to the same show as you and come away with such a different experience, get curious. What are they hearing? What are you hearing? If you listen again looking for what jumped out at them, can you find it? This band made some wild and complex music and it's worth looking at from a lot of different directions.)

Save this thread and come back to post throughout the week please! I'd love to read what other people think about this show.

Any Sphere recordings out there? I've only come across two dates.

Just found 5/16 on btree (https://bt.etree.org/details.php?torrentId=621888) and also found 6/21.

Am I missing something? Where are all the AUD recordings? Did they not allow or suppress taping at The Sphere?

I'm probably really out of the loop on this, just seems odd and out of character for all the shows to not be out there.

You wanna hear Phil well? An awesome subwoofer sale! SVS PB16 Ultra $700 off!

No I’m not spam! This is a legit recommendation.

https://www.svsound.com/products/pb16-ultra?variant=29707906700&g_acctid=919-192-0664&g_adgroupid=175389640784&g_adid=716249195037&g_adtype=pla&g_campaign=%2A%2ALP+-+Shop+-+TM+-+Adhoc&g_campaignid=20946136713&g_ifcreative=&g_ifproduct=product&g_keyword=&g_keywordid=pla-350883092321&g_merchantid=7889866&g_network=g&g_partition=350883092321&g_productchannel=online&g_productid=29707906700&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADxNmCB2bE01N7wSMNCtc8qZODgpE&gclid=Cj0KCQiA0MG5BhD1ARIsAEcZtwS05vajI1SsVBRvdGiVnxveDxIv_XsjWgOd6gKr3s7fYcpuyLUnGeYaAtNMEALw_wcB

I have a SVS PB-1000 and love it! These PB16 Ultras are incredible. I would love one but can’t spend almost $2500 on a subwoofer. I wish I could! This speaker will rattle your entire house! My PB-1000 pro has a ton of punch. These PB16 Ultras must be mind blowing.

Btw what finally got me on the bus? Hearing the dead on a system that actually had some good speakers. Specially a subwoofer. Was a maybe $1200 Sony system in like 1995. Was terrapin station off Arista years. Blew my mind. Have always loved my dead on nice speakers. Btw SVS makes some pretty incredible tower speakers as well.

This sale is lower than they have ever sold this sub for. Previous lowest was 2020 during covid. Amazing price. Wish I could get one!

1974 is quickly becoming my "flavor of the month" favorite year. The jazzy jams are just too good! Any recommendations for shows that haven't been released officially yet?

Who were Jerry’s top three musical inspirations?

Was listening to a 1956 Elvis Presley album which made me wonder who influenced Jerry’s musical taste at a young age. Relatively new to the Dead. Thanks!

Edit: Appreciate all who’ve taken the time to respond. You’ve uncovered some wonderful music for me to dive into further.

Deadhead Chili anyone?

Had to test it tonight, freezing the rest for next week.

Will be a perfect pre show meal, seeing Bob Weir and the Wolf Bros next weekend! ⚡️
