The dead and dead & co have made up about 95% of my listening this year.
I broke my shoulder just before Christmas and in my decrepitude I discovered the wonder that is you tube and found myself watching show after show on that fine portal. I’ve only got a very few of their records but Amazon music has loads of live shows from all eras of the grateful dead and oodles of Dead & co not to mention Garcia and Weir solo stuff
I was in the states when Jerry died and had only a passing knowledge of them then but something happened to me after I heard the news on Yankee telly

Mine arrived today and I’ve not had a chance to go much apart from have a quick look through the stuff inside said box.  However the book is quite spectacular in itself
I may be quite busy with it for some time

The Aly & Phil set is pretty good


Incidentally I picked up a solo Ally Bain best of the other day at the chazzer for a quid...and it appears to be rather pricey online.  Anybody know why?
the artwork?  😉

The beast has arrived....and it looks utterly wonderful.  I'm going in...


Do keep us posted.  I've held back on this one for reasons I already mentioned.  I have been known to  change my mind about  things like this.


Don't know what to say really...after 4 discs. It is too much of a good thing, of course but I'm also very pleased to have it. Really well put together. Aesthetically 10/10.

I managed to buy a copy of this pretty cheaply (there are some very fruitily priced copies being offered).

My overall impressions are summed up by this statistic on how much is written about certain albums:

1st album:4.75 pp
WWDOOH: 5.33 pp
Unhalfbricking: 5.33 pp
L&L:4.5 pp
FH: 4.75 pp
Shuffle & Go: 9.5 pp

Enough said.  Over and out.

Lots of camping at this show.

I remember a flyer floating around the campsites about this band name Fairport Convention recently reforming and that they were "kinda like the UK's Grateful Dead."  I thought "hummmmm?"

I also ran into to two aquaintences I had recently met and played guitar with them all night that evening.  7 months later, we would form a band.  We're on our 40th year now and just released our first record.

Two very big parts in my life started that day.

Oh.......and the show.....superb!


Excellent.  

I find it almost (I have about 3 or 4 shows I like, mostly with guests - Stills etc.) impossible to get excited about post-79 Dead although I will give it a listen when it appears online.

Fwiw, apart from their longevity I find it hard to think of two bands less alike...15 minutes as the British Jefferson Airplane doesn't alter that, I don't think...


Yes, the lure was a dubious one indeed.....but a bait I'm very grateful to have taken!  Grin

I'm going to this, as a massive prog & crossover prom fan, I am very much looking forward to it  Grin


I'm envious.

I paid 20 quid for the Nick Drake.


We are talking about the same thing - the Making of Five Leaves Left?  If so you have by far the cheapest copy in the UK (by a factor of about 3).
