Hey, those Dick's Picks Vol. x-y sets look tempting! If I'm not careful, I'm going to end up filling MORE of my shelves with Dead material.
Amir, I actually like that Winterland concert quite a bit. The band does get into some areas that I hadn't previously heard before. My tapes are boxed up at my in-laws' house (!) so its been a while since I've heard the show. Three 90 minute cassettes I think. My cousin has walls of DAT. He used to hand stuff over all the time, but we live so far apart now. Now whenever I go over there, I find myself thinking *I wish this wall was full of Slug's material* or bootleg jazz recordings.
I haven't really met anyone with that sort of hook-up yet, but people have hinted around it. I'm sure its out there... different thread. I digress.
*This is the first time I can remember using the *asterisk* method.
I've got about 25 of the Dick's Picks series so far and I think they're a great deal! I'd highly recommend them. Sometimes, they don't have complete shows, but, at least you can still find the shows out there somewhere.
I like the Winterland show too! I'm more of a sixties/seventies Deadhead myself, but I'm working on getting EVERYTHING anyway!
