Sgt. Pepper Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I got a ticket to see a live Dead concert from 6/22/91 from Solder Field in a super nice movie theater in Myrtle Beach next month. There doing it at select places. https://www.cinemark.com/movies/grateful-dead-meet-up-at-the-movies-2023?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_tOxmoSR_wIVI_bjBx09WA0GEAAYASAAEgL5CfD_BwE Edited May 25, 2023 by Sgt.

Karloff Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 hope you enjoy it. hope Garcia was in acceptable form for that show. he was fairly hit or miss from the 80's on. more miss than hit ... which was a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them 14 times. Saw only one or two so so shows. I’m sure if their putting it in the theater it’s not a stinker. Edited May 25, 2023 by Sgt.

Some people felt they were never the same after Pig left (myself included). by the early 80's they just never seemed to rise to the occasion. but thats just my opinion & you know what they say about opinions ...

Karloff Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 BUT, thats probably going to be enjoyable. I was reading about the show from the link you posted. say's its the best from that tour or from the Bruce / Welnick shows ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of Piggy’s voice. On the great Europe 72, Keith was smashing the keys, and Ron was sadly not going to be in the band much longer.

Sgt. Pepper Posted May 25, 2023 Author Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I didn't see them in '91. I was living in Japan most of that year. The last time I saw them was '94. I saw the JBG that year too. Then it was all over in '95. Never saw Weir (except on stage next to Jerry and Phil) or Dead And Co. My first Dead show was '85. Once Touch Of Grey came out. All of a sudden it was cool to be a 16 year old girl and to stop bathing and go see music you never cared about before. The scene was chocking on its own vomit then. Edited May 26, 2023 by Sgt.

merciful-evans Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'm blocked from seeing that link. Its a great idea though. I also think it would be great to just have a show played back at a venue at the volume it used to be. It wouldn't even matter if there was no movie to watch.

I read recently some huge GD fan made small replica of the Dead's legendary Wall Of Sound speaker system in a old abandoned church. Never understood the fascination the girls had with just twirling in a circles all night at a Dead show. Edited May 26, 2023 by Sgt.

I've seen Hendrix live three times, but for some reason none of the film footage of him live I've seen showed him sounding and playing as good as he was when I saw him.

I still watch it. was a great series of shows from '74. the thing I always loved about the Pigpen years, Garcia played with more fire. he hadn't entered the noodling stage yet.

Whitefang Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 A slight aside here..... Watching a marathon of "3rd Rock From The Sun" reruns, the aliens (John Lithgow, Kriten Johnston, French Stewart, Joseph Gordon-Levitt), trying to learn more of Earthling history, find a box of old Christmas stuff in the basement of the house in which they're renting the upper flat in, and first figure a string of old bulbs would make the place look "psychedelic", and Lithgow pulls an old Santa Claus figurine out of the box, a chubby man in a red suit and a big, bushy white beard and asked, "Who is that?" and Gordon-Levitt says, "I think it's Jerry Garcia!" 😄 OK. back to the relevant discussion.

What about in the 60's and 70's with Piggy in the band, and the Dead would play Dark Star for about 4 days straight with no water break?

I liked his tone better in the late 60's. an SG through a Fender Twin. but again, just my opinion. I certainly saw some great shows where he sounded great with Wolf or his Travis Bean guitar ...
