Make it 15,000. Doc Orch knows this, but I got my hands on a wonderfully priced copy of "The Deadhead's Taping Compendium Volume One" and have been just floored by the wealth of information and the "relics" in this hefty book. This goes from the beginning up into 1974 and is just fascinating. Half.com and Amazon.com have copies that won't set you back more than 20 dollars total (right now at least) and it's well worth that price!

Hey it is what it is. Makes perfect sense to me. I had a huge mix of influencing music and beats the first half of my life. . . Philly soul sound, thirties swing, Bach and Mozart and Beethoven and Gershwin, eatern and southern African musics, British Blues Bands, Chicago blues bands, San Francisco sounds, electric Miles Davis. . . . I can't get a lot of folk and country musics though I really try sometimes, etc.

Great idea, the Gene Shaw material is highly worthy. I remember at the beginning that Selects were possible as two cd sets, and that might be the ideal size for a Shaw Select. I think it would be a good one.

I bought/ordered enough Dick's Picks to get me completed as far as Grateful Dead official releases up to the departure of the Godchauxs. Cost me all my birthday dollars and then some but it's a good feeling to know I'm caught up and can see what Rhino will bring about.

Listening to DP 36. Man oh man this is a POWERFUL one. 1972 had some insanely good performances. Keith really gave the band a shot in the arm in 1971 and 1972.

Wow, I certainly didn't mean to be insulting or to cause disgust. I'm just going on what I read here, for your information. THAT is how it comes off. Sorry to get you so upset, but I honestly don't feel I have much to apologize about.

I'm sorry?? You'd better verify statements like that first before you make them. I take exception to your insinuation Just an impression I get because you don't mention hearing a single NEW RVG for years, and you take a lot of oppotrunities to bash them. Sorry if you don't like the way that comes across, but it's an isinuation grown from what you've written. RVGs have in my opinion been getting better and better as teh series continues. And all the Prestige ones I've heard are very nice. If I were to judge the series on the first few years of releases, I'd have a different opinon.

Surely all this is subjective. I mean Hans hates RVGs and touts any other release, though he probably hasn't heard an RVG in years, and they don't sound as they did at first at all. I personally have found no series to be consistently superior. TOCJs often bore me with blandness. RVGs are generally my favorite choice, though there are some that I don't like to listen to. K2s are generally darned nice, but there are some regular OJCs I prefer to K2 versions (for example Kirk Felton's remastering of "Wide Open Spaces" slays the Japanese K2). Some SACDs are definitely better than others, I find SACDs to be quite inconsistent in sound from label to label and even from release to release within a label's line.

A board member was very kind to me and sold me the Montreux set at a great price. I would say yes, that material is better than any of the studio efforts to my ears. I play one of these discs more often than any of the studio discs. Hmmmm. . . I ought to load a few of these into my iPod.

Finally got a shipment notice on my second and final Concord order. Only one of thirty plus cds was not shipped according to this email: the Dolphy at the Five Spot.

I wouldn't disagree with any of that, but I'm not crazy about listening to it. NOW. That may change in a while.

I actually bought On the Corner when it was released on lp, and I have always been challenged by it but enjoy it. It's a unique and amazing piece of work in my opinion. I'm looking forward to a box set, I've heard quite a bit of what should be in there and I want official releases, improved sound, etc. I also am not crazy about the eighties stuff and have most all the official releases but rarely spin them.

Well, Sony Japan and Columbia US Sony operate more often independently than together. . . . This reissue series is par for the course for the Japanese market, where they constantly release cds with a given target market in mind and then repeat as needed. . . . I would NOT be surprised to see the Miles boxes appear eventually. Doillars. That's what Columbia wants!

I do like the Cannonball a lot. Good solid Cannon from the time, and the bonus track is long and strong.

Made you look, didn't it?

Yup. . . had enough to represent all fifty states!

I have not heard this cd version. There was/is(?) a download version circulating that I have heard. Sound is not great, maybe not even good for this sort of thing, but in my opinion adequate. Playing is quite interesting. I didn't really spend a lot of time listening to it but wanted to, and hope to. I'd recommend it for Bird nuts. Others need not really bother.

No. It's quite a nice lp. I expect to see it as a Connoisseur at one point.

I definitely can see the advantage (especially as many Dead shows as I've burned to cdr in the last few months) but. . . . I still like to have the disc as backup and I have great fun designing paperwork and cutting and inserting. . . I find it really relaxing to do this.

Care to share that secret way in? As Marty Balin might say, "It's no Secret." Here's a quick link in to the MP3s: www.gdlive.com/dead

Yes, I only have this in the Rollins box set (which sounds fine). I may get the RVG in time. . . one bad section won't bother me; I like the sound on these Prestige RVGs.

Many many more happy ones! Enjoy a great time with the family!
