When I started buying vinyl records in the mid 1960's (33 1/3 and 45s) it was the only medium available other than the radio if you wanted to own the music. Then 8-track and cassettes in the 70s to compete with vinyl in which the quality was questionable. When CD's came along in the mid 1980's there was little or no vinyl available anymore so again not very many options so I jumped on the CD wagon. Now I mostly download my music and no longer buy much vinyl records or CDs anymore. Today everyone has a lot more high quality options for their music with both vinyl and CDs being available in addition to streaming and downloading music. So I dont understand why someone would buy a vinyl record and never play it. For me vinyl at one time was the only option and it was about the music and not about the physical item itself.
That's what I'm talking about. Better off spending money on good speakers & a good tube Amp or vintage solid state Marantz tank with 2 phono stages. They rock old JBL's surprisingly well. I had a pair of the pre titanium tweeter L250's for a while & I've never heard dead sound so good. Never should have sold them. They were mint.
I went to RSD to get the Nuggets box set. No dice for me but it was fun to hang out in line. Thanks for reviewing this. Also, I appreciate the subtle dig at etching the outlying, final side. I completely loath that concept.
That is crazy about people buying records that do not own a record player or they're not planning to buy one. But to each his own I guess. I have a friend who has a bunch of sealed albums, it does have a massive collection that he plays but has a bunch that he does not open.
Bro I got the Boston garden box, but I have not opened it I'm waiting to have like 2 days to myself do I can just kind of digest the whole thing you know what I mean man? Great video and review. I just found your channel man and I made sure to subscribe. I probably won't do a review on this for another week or so ✌️🎸
I've been in between functional record players for long stretches, but maintained my collection knowing I'd fix or get a new one eventually. That said, I also don't listen to all the vinyl I buy, unfortunately. Some is for collector reasoning, but sometimes I open one like I did for 5/3/72 which was RSD 2021, I think. I brought it home, opened it up and planned to check out a side to see how good it sounded on vinyl. Ended up listening to the whole thing in one shot. I think I paused to throw something in the oven between record flips, otherwise just sat mesmerized for 3.5 hours. They refer to 5/7-9 as the trilogy, but is usually referred to among Deadheads as the Holy Trinity, as they are widely considered the best 3 shows in a row. For those many who say Cornell is overrated, they usually say 5/9 or 5/7 is their favorite. I love all three, and still place Cornell above all on May '77, flawed though it is. I have yet to open 5/9 or 5/7. I had to get 5/9 online in the middle of COVID because it was sold out across Boston. I got the second print of Cornell a few years back, have listened to that a few times. Great, great sound. Haven't opened my Dave's Picks 1. One vinyl release I love to listen to is 11/18/72 set 2, that is just phenomenal, peak Dead. My favorite Playing of all time, 25 min of full throttle Dead. Just when it gets quiet, Phil thunders back in or Billy thunders back in, and my favorite He's Gone as well, 16 min of blissful Dead. The one the night before on Dave's Picks 11 is my second favorite He's Gone, and they're similar, but different. I really hope that hint about 2 Dave's Picks on vinyl this year has number 11 for the second one, will buy it in a heartbeat. (Thanks for the honest appraisal of Dave's 23, as well as the update, wasn't planning on that one, that sort of cemented it, unless it's around in 6 months...)
Hey There - Bought the JGB - It's been one of my favs on CD. It'll be arriving during the week. Can't wait to listen. Would love to hear your review of 5/7 and How Sweet It Is in more detail. Peace out. Johnny K.
On record store day I got Boston Garden Show with 15 people ahead of me. I was in line at 7:00 they opened at 9:00 with about 40 people in line at opening. Some pretty cool people in line to chat with, made the 2 hour wait go quickly. Have to buy a bigger vinyl holder collection is getting bigger 👍
No! If you don't have a turntable, don't buy records!! These phonies simply want to look cool when they're on SKYPE or doing a podcast. Of course you need a guitar on the wall as well. Thanks to Hollywood & corporate ads, it's all become so cliche. Most of these folk can't decipher the sound difference between mp3's & analog. Thanks to influencers, vinyl has become so overpriced it's absurd. When in 5/9/77 coming out? I have the master FLAC Reel > DAT but tha Buffalo is special to me. One of the 1st low gen cassettes I got back when I was in High School. I think that box arrived at my house when I was 15 in 1989, about 2 months before my first show at Irvine Meadows.
@@drink_with_the_dead OH, I'll definitely pass on Buffalo wax then. My lossless FLAC Master Reel > DAT soundboard likely sounds better anyway. I already have 75% of the vault on a few 3TB external hard drives so I'd prefer to buy non dead wax. That's too many incredible $30-$50 jazz records. Appreciate the info bro. My fav RSD to this day is still Gram Parsons at Hempstead. That one was quite the upgrade. Looking forward to Emmylou Harris's 'Stumble Into Grace' on Nonesuch FINALLY getting put on wax. That record is so beautiful. Better than 'Red Dirt Girl' IMHO.
Decided to save some money this rsd in case the next Grateful Dead boxset was announced and I really wanted that instead. Glad I held off now the here comes sunshine boxset looks like a real winner! Think I'd quite like to see the tracksplits on the 8x vinyl edition though. Think I'll go for it but only if the side flips aren't too egregious (still a bit mad at them for creating an entire disk just to put Cosmic Charlie on 27/2/69 I think). I know it is what it is with vinyl records but I do like when companies try to accommodate for the vinyl medium. There's a subject for discussion are you for or against when companies rearrange the tracks of a concert in order to fit it on less disks and have more time per side or do you prefer to have more disks of with sometimes 7-8 minute sides but you get the full concert as it was played (like the Dead does). Think that'll be a discussion point on the Cornell comparisons as the bootleg puts Estimated Prophet at the end of the concert (before Saturday Night) but it 4lps instead of 5.
Oh man, rearranging the tracks really has me torn. On one hand, I'm a purist. I want full shows, in order. I can't stand when a Dave's Pick release has filler placed in the middle of the second disc, rather than at the very end! On the other hand, there's too much overproduction and waste in the world already. I totally understand the argument of "waste not want not"; cram as many songs as you can fit onto each record and CD! So the short answer: I'll take whatever Dave Lemieux wants to give us.

I have no problem if someone buys records but doesn’t have a record player. It is kind of like collecting cooler and bigger stamps.

I'm right there with you. My Dead shelf is getting pretty stuff full these days!

Unfortunately enough, I believe that show came out a few years back. I think it's like 300-400 on secondary now.

How many times can one listen to Cornell?
There are so many amazing shows from 1977.
Come one, come all...
Let's go!
