I noticed that no tracks from the 25th were used in the new four disc set. Does anyone know if this means that the multi-tracks had problems or possibly that this show is being held back for a complete show release in the future? Thanks... __ Do Y

Alfred College and Harpur College

2002-07-11 Thread craig eyler
We've all been wondering for years now as to just why the electric sets from Harpur College were recorded only in mono. The acoustic set was recorded in stereo. There has been endless speculation and the 'official' verdict was 'spurious electrical activity'. I'll venture a guess that it was no

Saw the thread re: the Matrix '68 shows, not sure if this will help but what the heck. I've got the 10/8 10/9 10/10 10/30 and 12/16 shows, all of them three discs except 12/16 which is two. The lineages supposedly have no cassette gens but who knows. They all sound very fine. ___

Any info on this one? Seems Janis Joplin set aside some money in her will for a big party to be held following her death (the invitation says "The Drinks Are On Pearl") and she asked that the Dead play, assuming THEY were still around too. It was held in San Anselmo TX on 10-26-70. The Dead pla

Does anyone know the titles of the tunes from the soundcheck? I've got the following: Rip It Up>Blue Suede Shoes (4:39) Unknown (Working Man Blues?) (10:41) It's an instrumental version of Rip It Up but it seems to be the same tune as the one from Atlanta on the 12th. There are only bits and p

Carousel 06-19-68 / Keith Rehearsals

2002-04-12 Thread craig eyler
This is a VERY weird show, I'm wondering if the listing in the '68 database may be backward. The copy I received starts out with the jamming tunes and the second disc has Lovelight>NFA>Lovelight then a long drums/crowd/chanting piece to end it off. That seems to flow a bit better than if the sho

I recently received a complete three-disc set of this show from a soundboard source, and tacked on at the front is what appears to be a ten-minute soundcheck jam. The sound is consistent with the subsequent show and it is definitely not from the show itself, it has a very loose feel, a few bum no

There are a couple questions I have about the recording of this show and I'd appreciate any insight anyone may have. Were the Dead using metal cassettes or ADAT at this time? The sound during the first song of the first set appears to fluctuate between mono and stereo. Is this something that mi

Warlocks Album

I purchased this LP about fifteen years ago, has a pink cover and lists the recording date as May 3rd, 1965. The date is incorrect. This is most or all of the Emergency Crew demos from 11/3/65 plus some of the Scorpio sessions and 1st LP sessions from 1966. None of the material is live. All of

I recently received a 3-CD set from Hamburg on the Europe '72 tour, the lineage was given as: AUD MR>CD>SHN>CD. The quality is excellent, good presence, good separation, no cuts or splices that I could detect, and the show is complete. I was just wondering if the Dead did any microphone mixes ba

Stonybrook/Port Chester

2002-02-07 Thread craig eyler
Glad to find a site where people are interested in details... It seems the Stonybrook shows from October 1970 are in MONO, is this a result of problems along the taping line or were they actually recorded in mono? The first two nights at Port Chester (2/18 and 2/19) in 1971 are also in mono. 2/1
