I'm on the fence about hitting the Fenway shows. I'd love to go as I think they are sounding great but Fenway sucks for a show.

'77 and '73 used to be my favorite years (with '74 and '72 close behind), but loving the July '78. In retrospect, maybe it is a little more loose and edgier (dangerous?), '77 has been described by some as more almost antiseptic, sterile perfection. At some point, Jerry's vocals (and later playing) began to suffer according to what substances he favored at the time. '78 has been characterized as an important dividing line, variously as the end of their classic period or beginning of the end. The July shows were recovered from a long lost cache of Betty Boards, none of which were previously in the vault, and I think the 1st (Arrowhead Stadium, KC - Willie Nelson Festival, one long set), 3rd (St. Paul, MN) & 5th (Omaha, NE - VERY poorly attended as were a few dates on this swing of the tour, only 100-200 people in like a 10,000 seat arena, they still put on a GREAT show, though) were not circulated at all among collectors? Incidentally, the sound is PHENOMENAL. Music always takes primacy (what would be the point of a wonderfully recorded poor music?), but I tend to not listen to poorly recorded, ill sounding audio, no matter how good the actual music itself. The ultimate, of course, is great music well recorded, and these are outstanding on both counts, excellent intersection of songs, playing and audio quality. On that subject, The Grateful Dead Movie ('74 immediately pre-hiatus, released '77) and I think also Closing of Winterland ('78, not sure about release date) are in 5.1 surround for those with the home theater capability, and sound awesome - especially the former.

Not sure if below provenance same as recent Betty Board set or AUD, but recording not bad, and example given for playing and style (they are so in the pocket, they are like those jeans that have a pocket INSIDE the pocket).

Do some homework on this.. Fenway has some really terrible spots for sound. I was on the GA Floor near the soundboard so I was good, but a lot of people had issues with sound.

They released a bunch of turf tickets for tonight's show on the box office site, mostly B1 & B7 which are good for sound but pretty loud as you are facing the speaker set up. I suspect they will release tickets for tomorrow's nights show sometime Sat morning.
I have two buddies heading up tomorrow and I'm most likely going but still on the fence as I would ideally like a ticket in hand. I suspect prices to start dropping a ton for tonight's show in a couple of hours at sites like Stubhub.

that is only because it is a day away, getting the best value for good seats is a patience man's game.

I'm seeing 2nd row C5 seats available right now at the box office for tonight, those are great seats center stage.

Yeah, I just saw that. I really don't want to drop $400 to take my eleven years old with me and I hate going solo. My buddy was up for tomorrow night, would I may try and hold out for that one. C5 is tough to pass on though.....
You are in R.I. also, right? Are you guys driving in? I was gonna.

I was mostly pointing out that these really good seats for tonight's show just opened up today which tells me that most likely the same thing will occur tomorrow night.
Yeah, my buddy in Portsmouth is driving up tomorrow afternoon. I'm not too keen on heading up without a ticket secured though.

I ended up going to Fenway on Saturday, and we scored great seats right in front of the soundboard from the box office. It was a great time and a great show.
They have been streaming alot of the shows on Nugs, and I typically have a view of it from a red it guy. I pay for them if not. It's like $30 a show, but you can buy in bulk also. These web casts have been OUTSTANDING!
The best one that I have seen so far was last weekend at the Gorge. I'm not sure if it had anything to do with the band's pregame, or the great sound, but it was the coolest show yet imo. It was a solid set list and the guys were REALLY into it, especially late first, early second set. The Eyes was really cool Apple Jack, and it was what I was listening to in the car when I made the silly SG comment. Check out the show if you can, I have most on Lougle drive now.

I have no idea if the folks would be into that. I'd not a big dead guy. I thought it had a good groove and I loved the horns section.

Hey fellas, I have what is basically a dead/phish cover band, with a little allman bros, Zappa, Floyd, etc. out of MI.
https://m.facebook.com/HellinaB/
check out the vids, feel free to berate me for mixing dead/phish, or whatever. We did a little post production work on some audio, but pretty much just redoing some vocals and a few parts here and there. There are some high quality audio/video links from our page with full versions of some of the tunes.
Edit: I play bass

We are more the weekend warrior type, we all have day jobs and families. We do bring all the light production as well, so those are what the shows look like. Basic idea is to play once a month and have 4-6 venues to rotate throughout the year.siffoin said:

I hate running, but have decided that it is the easiest and best way for me to move my body a few days a week.
I put on 5/8/77, start Scarlet Begonias and keep running until the end of Fire. It's about a 2.5 mile run from my house around the lake and back. Can't quite make it back before the song ends, but that's my goal. Makes the run enjoyable and I probably look like a fool as I rock out to certain parts
