At this point I'm old enough that when something like this happens I start to wonder if I did in fact once know it and time and various spirits, and/or ambrosia's have stricken it from my memory.

you're welcome :D :D :D

the Jerry string bend at around the 4:00 mark is one of my all-time favorite musical moments.

Pure ecstasy

also, I want the shirt Phil is wearing! My birthday is in about 5-6 weeks, that gives y'all plenty of time to hunt it down :D I wear a large

the sheets of psychedelic melting appear at around the 10:00 mark, then it gets serious

9/10/91 is a great show and is the best complete show with Branford. 3/29/90 has some amazing parts but he plays the whole show at MSG.

One can never have too many sources for 5/8/77, so here's a new matrix

http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=590849 16 bit

http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=590848 24 bit

Grateful Dead
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall

Ithaca, NY

3 Source Matrix

Soundboard (shnid:4982)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
gd.77-05-08.mtx.Betty-eaton.4982.sbeok.flac16

Lineage:
Betty Board Portion -- Master 7" Nagra reels 1/2 track @ 7.5ips>Sony PCM 501. Playback on Sony PCM 701>DAT (Digital Transfer) -- Rob Eaton DBX Decoding (Spring '99) Playback on Panasonic 4100 DAT>DB 924 D/A>Dolby 361's w/dbx K9-22 Cards>DB 124 A/D>Neve Capricorn (Digital mixing console)>DB 300S>Panasonic 4100 DAT>DAT>Digi Coax Cable>Tascam CD-RW 700>CDR (x1)>SHN (Rob Eaton remaster)

Audience Portion -- Steve Maizner's Sony ECM-990>Sony TC-152 aud master>First Gen Reel>played directly to hard drive. The excellent aud splices were normalized and patched using ProTools by Karen Hicks

Culled from a May 6, 1999 post by Rob Eaton to dnc --

I recently re-decoded 5/5/77 and 5/8/77. I went into Right Track Studios in NYC (my home base studio ) set up in studio B (which is the premier state of the art Digital Music Studio in world). I had clean dat copies (provided by Tim Daulton) that were NOT decoded. I set up a chain consisting of: Panasonic Sv4100 AES out-->DB Technologies 924AD (24bit/96k capability)-->Dolby 361 Modules w/DBX K9-22 cards-->Neve Capricorn 32bit point processing/full 24bit Digital Console-->DB Technologies 122s 24bit/16bit conversion and 44.1k/48k sample rate conversion-->Panasonic Sv4100 Dat AES in. This is State of the Art Technology, getting as much of the music that was on the tapes as possible. The thing about DBX that nobody else got is that in order to decode it properly the volume into the decoder has to be exact, otherwise the tapes can be too bass heavy or too bright and compressed. These tapes are absolutely the best possible reproductions of the dig tapes made from the masters (I only wish I had the actual reels so I could do a proper azimuth adjustment on them).

I did not know that!

Rumor has it that even though it's a documentary, Robert De Niro will star as Bill Graham in the film

Isn't the first Dave's Pick of 2017 scheduled to, as the kids say, "drop" next week?

while I had heard some random Dead here and there, it was with Dead Set and Reckoning that my future was written. Good lord, it's been 35-36 years since......Huge fan of both albums and mighty envious of anyone who caught any of those Warfield/RCMH shows in 1980. I have a bunch of friends who caught most/all of the Warfield run and it makes me so jealous I want to punch them in the mouth :lol:

on this day 44 years ago the band debuted the Wall of Sound* and played a show for the ages! First live performance of China Doll, Eyes of the World, Here Comes Sunshine, Loose Lucy, They Love Each Other, and Wave That Flag (what became U.S. Blues)! This show also has some of my favorite onstage banter, just before the band kicks off set 2 with China>Rider. This show was one of the first tapes i scored way, way back in 83 and it was a favorite from day one. This is a show just begging for an official release, though I believe there are some issues with the masters (at least I think I heard that)

https://archive.org/details/gd1973-02-0 ... th.flac24/


*=Though the initial framework and a rudimentary form of the system was unveiled at Stanford University's Roscoe Maples Pavilion on February 9, 1973 (every tweeter blew as the band began their first number), the Grateful Dead did not begin to tour with the full system until a year later. The completed Wall of Sound made its touring debut on March 23, 1974, at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California.

Anyone pre-order the May '77 box that was announced yesterday ?

You may have heard, the dead.net site was down for like 6 hours yesterday so it was maddening. But they finally got it worked out and I was able to get it.

Despite the CharlieFoxtrot that was the ordering process, I could not be more excited for this release.

Here is some more info:

this guy!!!

thanks for posting this, I have gotten into not checking my email every day and had not seen this. Like everyone else I already have stellar copies of these shows but always wanted to hear how they would present an official release of Cornell, so I custied up the $$$. Also, that Buffalo show has long been a fave and one that I think is woefully underrated, no doubt due to the night before. The H>S>F to open Buffalo is exquisite

Same here. This is like my 4th version of the show. I love that Buffalo show, too.

I figured $150 after shipping, for 4 of the most talked about shows was worth every penny. My local record store is getting the vinyl of Cornell in too, and I will probably pony up for that as well.

The Scarlet>Fire download from 5/8 that came with the pre-order sounded great to me. I could tell a noticeable difference, although that could just be the excitement talking. What did you think ?

My collection unfortunately is severely lacking in Chuck Berry :oops: , so I did the next best thing the other day and busted out Dead/Jerry covers. Johnny B. Good (Dick's Picks Uni dome '78), Let it Rock (from awesome ''75 release whose name escapes me at the moment), and You Never Can Tell (Pure Jerry '91- the one that came with the guitar pick).
