Blast Fantasto posted:Sorry, I don't buy in to the whole Bob Weir sucks thing. Like the entirety of Ace is killer + Sugar Magnolia + his singing the Marty Robbins and Merle Haggard covers. You never would have heard them if it was the Bobby Weir Jug Band. They would have all had straight jobs by '68.

Bobby's bad songs are offensively bad, where Jerry's bad songs are just boring for the most part. Its his vocal schtick in concert that puts him over the top.

LordPants posted:I also am an unabashed fan of "Easy to Love you" and whatever the other Go To Heaven Brent tune was. I love Brent tunes but I'll also admit that most of them suck. Easy to Love You might be the best one. Tons of Steel is the worst. Most of them could have been Richard Marx songs. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 16:20 on May 29, 2015 |

That first set is straight up bad music. Nobody can sing except Hornsby and trey doesn't loosen up until Viola Lee. Mix is terrible too.

YouTube clips are probably no way to judge it, but it seemed more even than the Santa Clara shows. The lows weren't as low at least. Phil even kinda nailed box of rain, so even if he croaked his way through franklins tower, at least he carried a tune on one song vs ruining everything he opened his mouth on in Santa Clara. It looked like a lot of fun overall.

facedesketernal posted:This is true but you can't really complain when they added a free show at MSG. The whole thing is heavily endorsed by American Express though it's clearly been about the money. They probably already made so much off of ticket sales that they want to try to clear this whole image by throwing a free one in there. Probably costs them a small fraction of what they made. Doesn't make the music any better. Getting rid of Phil is addition by subtraction though.

Kvlt! posted:I was reading the Rolling Stone article about Pigpen's death and in it they talked about a tape they found at his apartment, featuring a bunch of songs he recorded solo before his death. Does anyone know if this tape ever became available to the public and if so where I could listen to it? It's a super common bootleg and not that good.

Well I don't like any of those. Everyone sounds so bored. I've never head the National before, but that guy a pretty hilarious voice. The War on Drugs song somehow manages to sound like every other War on Drugs song. I guess I like New Speedway, but I'd much rather listen to the original instead of someone sounding bored to be doing a cover of it. Oh well.

I always sort of thought that the grateful dead had really, really solid and well written songs that would carry the band through lukewarm performances (or would really shine when the band was on), but maybe I was mistaken? Maybe the grateful dead was actually an incredible band that wrung every drop of energy out of a bunch of super boring songs? Thanks, The National.

DJ BK posted:I don't particularly care for Bobby's playing the last ten plus years. The FTW shows and the Dead & Co recordings all reflect SLOW playing, like really slow. I'd rather listen to Russo's Almost Dead or recordings from 77-78. They are too old and play way too slow. Not joking, I think it's actually supposed to be page and fishman sitting in with him. It was already announced.

The stand-alone opening chord is a universe. The sound of multiple vocalists screaming out the words betrays an on-stage good time rolling. Garcia’s mountainous arpeggios—using a deeply metallic guitar tone—are a study in Sturm und Drang naturalism; while the hanging pause on which the players reunite is big-band tightness exemplified. A perfect vehicle when secondary drummer Mickey Hart joined in 1967, here the closing jam’s leap into Kreutzmann/Hart-driven hyperspace is a premonition of future Rhys Chatham/Glenn Branca/Sonic Youth punk-jazz explosions. Strap the gently caress in!

5-2-70, Binghampton NY (Dicks Picks 8) is really good. Acoustic first set and electric second. 10-1-94, Boston is another one I listen to every once in a while. It's a pretty great 90's show. Best scarlet fire they ever played. Edit: 5-7-78 Troy NY is another one I had listened to recently that's pretty darn good. BigFactory fucked around with this message at 16:31 on Aug 3, 2017 |

That seems like a lot of money for music that is essentially free and easily available in a lot of different formats. I guess they charge what they think they can charge.

Jonny_Rocket posted:Audience recordings are readily available via public domain but not that many high-quality soundboards. They can charge what they want (I think $99 for four three disc sets and a bonus disc is a good deal, personally) because they’re limited numbered releases and highly collectible. Oh I thought it was for a streaming service. That's not as bad.
