Grateful Dead, Spring 1990 on CD

the “last great tour”

 

 

Shameless plug for my little survey. Check it out...

This binaural DSD128 sound spectacular--the realism is stunning. Wonderfully played, too.

Love his stuff, from Oingo Boingo to the movie scores.  Saw him / OB in a good sized club in Santa Fe NM.  Had to be late 80s or real early 90s.  Full band of around 10, horn section, percussionist.  Unbelievably tight! And loud!

It is very much Danny Elfman - It sounds like an amalgamation of all the movie scores he has wrote all jumbled up in a good way.

Fine set) Even though I'd prefer any set from seventies... 😉

Agree, 100%!  I started going to shows in the mid-70s and stopped in the late 80s.  I have this and the Other Ones, as well as the other available shows from 90-95.  They’re just not the same as, say, Venetia OR from ‘72, or the awesome stuff from ‘74.  

 

A couple years ago my wife and I went to see Dead & Co.  The band is very tight with Oteil and the boys, but, John Mayer doesn’t do it for me in any way, shape or form.  Not to mention the crowd these days isn’t the same... me, either, I guess.  If I didn’t have 35 years of Jerry I may feel differently, but still wouldn’t like Mayer’s voice/singing.

Classic Danny Elfman!  Thanks for sharing.  So “perfectly” produced, and freaky!

[Solstice380]

 

Another one from that album.  His fascination with the dark side of things.  Again, impeccably produced.

Never saw Dead alive as I lived on the other side of iron curtain. Still, I have an absolutely abnormal-sized collection of recordings, including almost everything official + thousands of hours of tapers materials. Every period has its merits, but taking everything else into account, the favorite years are 77, 76, 74, 73, 78, 79...

So, if people want Grateful Dead live recordings....

Well known for live music from maaaaany great artists.  I’ve found good Allman Brothers, Stones, Hot Tuna, etc.  One of the few sites (of any nature) to which I donate.

Yes, there's a lot of stuff on archive.org. However, there are better sources, imo. For example, bt dot etree dot org. Or, Charlie Miller's fb page... :-)

Morning music. I get to listen for one more day then it is off for a month of science consulting.....

Discovered this album a few days ago.

 

Volumio users might be interested in the hacked playback view which I made, which allows for much larger album art. Compare with screen shot in previous post :)
