Rugeley Villa Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Just now, Nor-Cal Villan said: He’s still a gif in the Bay Area/Nor Cal in general. He’s coming around soon, with Counting Crowes as opening act. Sounds like an ungodly snooze fest to me and an extremely expensive snooze fest at that I wouldn’t mind seeing him in uk but it’s rare he comes over. Obviously wouldn’t pay too much for his company though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il_serpente Posted July 8 VT Supporter Share Posted July 8 1 hour ago, Nor-Cal Villan said: Honest answer to your question about GD albums: none of them if you mean studio. Don’t get me wrong, a handful are good (American Beauty, Workingman’s Dead, Wake of the Flood, Mars Hotel) but none even remotely capture what they were as a live band. Of the official albums they released before Jerry’s death, Live/Dead is “the one”. I also really love Reckoning (live acoustic album from 1980 tour). All of the numerous volumes of the Dick’s Picks/Dave’s Picks series of live releases are very good to spectacular. Europe '72 FTW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prized-possession status. There are a handful of shows from this tour that are candidates for their greatest show ever in my opinion. From the beginning of this tour until their “retirement” shows at Winterland in October 1974 is an ungodly run of sustained brilliance. Truly their high water mark for me I often think about what tours/shows (not just GD) I would catch if I had a time machine. This entire tour would be at/near the top of the list Wish I had the presence of mind back then to buy an extra copy, because I could retire on what people are paying for it now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
