This week I'd had a request for some '68 Dead, and just happened to have just gotten this remastered beauty. This is quite an amazing recording for a 40 year old show, even more amazing is how accomplished the band sounds when I think of how young they were. I think the power of this music, especially in the second set, is really amazing..

Picked up this show as sbd from archive.org before the shutdown/lockout. Some tracks are the same length, others vary. Illumination: is this a different mix to the archive.org show? Comments on differences? (in poor ole Oz 100mb counts as bandwidth to save if possible). Thanks.
ReplyDeleteProfessor - This is truly Primal Dead. What a wonderful batch of inspired music that you've shared with us! Thank You.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness what a show. Pig sounded awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you normally post what the new podcast will be?
ReplyDeleteThis is a collective thank you for this show (the only 1968s I had were a very scratchy DP 22, Two from Vault and remastered Anthem) and the great Allman Brothers sets. These are great quality and I really enjoy finding these. I first heard the GD in 2001 so all this is a great experience.
ReplyDeleteLove the energy of early Dead. Great jamming on NP Caboose, and everyone sounded great. The 4-minute Dark Star is "cute"...it's interesting to compare this to what Dark Stars eventually became: set-dominating, monstrous, wondrous occurrences (in a good way). Were longer Dark Stars already happening at this point, and this one just happened to be short? I'll have to look into it...
