Sounds like it came off an old Maxell UDXLII. LOL.... Not that theres anything wrong with that. Sounds sweet. Thanks. Or was this from Festival Express?

[LSDISGOOD4U]

@grandbbq Nosir, Festival Express was 1970. As far as sound quality this probably WAS on a Maxe

ll cassette at some point, as it is completely un-mastered. That being said, it sounds pretty bitchin for a 36 year old recording!

About fifteen of us were living in the interior B.C. on top of a mountain when we heard the Dead were coming to Van. What a trip for all of us to come down into the big city. All the hillbilly hippies were there. It was one of the best experiences of my entire life. Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen opened for them, blasting through the Wall of Sound.

the ideal jam i would say, my favorite year of the dead without a question is 71 in my opinion jerrys strongest playing and singing, dude was a god fer surreee rip brotha

Unbelievable. Bobby's rhythm guitar is spot on and so tactile!

Great Eyes....most of them from 1974 were though....when the band was at its highest level musically IMO. 1974 is my favorite period because of the big sound sysytem and and the big fat sound from Weir's Gibson guitar.....and the single drummer....Bills kicker cutting right through the mix.

the dead have given so much support for all of our trips with their music. thanks equally to those who recorded and spread versions like this! great!

Disagree all that you want. 100 years from now. 200 years from now, there will be musicians and artists still exploring/delving into that which was the GD. And it will continue well beyond that time frame. By the way did you wish one of the greatest songwriters of the modern era - Robert Hunter a happy birthday yesterday?

American classics that will remain in the collective consciousness of millions.  Timeless music, and timeless performances. As I said, you can't reheat a souffle

@JustJake57 I disagree. Have you read the complete essays of Montaigne? It's probably the greatest thing to ever be published. Montaigne had a strong influence on Shakespeare, and was passionately praised by such great minds as Nietzsche and Emerson (to name two of many great minds!).

Take care.

[JustJake57]

@tristramshandy3 All fine and good, but Phish in their bestest of days couldn't hold a candle to what went down in 72-74.

After all, you can't reheat a souffle. 

[tristramshandy3]

@JustJake57 phish 97-98.

[tristramshandy3]

@JustJake57 phish 97-98.

@jazzmanchgo "How did the Dead do it -- anybody know?"

Telepathy.

Or maybe they just plugged into that universal soul a bit more closely than most of us can manage.
