By the way, how do you do the quotes so that it says the person's name and not "quote". Just wondering.

You just click the little quote thing at the corner of their post

And if they had quoted someone in their post, you're gonna have to do a little bit of editing/deleting to get it to be just theirs. Like I did here

and I was always under the impression Warren, that Skullfuck was the nickname for Skull and Roses, which was the nickname for the self titled 71 live album.

reckoning is just reckoning

[bodiddley]

I am staying away from any live album including europe 72 and reckoning.....blues for allah...gosh i just love the frankins and the eyes...i think there just such cool studio versions. Mars hotel....the unbroken chain baby

Huh? "Eyes" is on "Wake of the Flood".

[Panda Licker]

I think its funny how many people get album/song relations messed up

I do the same thing constantly


I just realized Franklin's Tower was on Blues for allah the other day

becaues I always seem to just lump era's together.

"Yeah, born cross-eyed is on Anthem, but it might be on Aoxomoxoa too... or Golden Road?"

Working Man's Dead (Remastered w/ Bunus Tracks). OK, so this is probably old news for most, but I just discovered the remastered (Rhino Records) WMD album. I hadn't listened to that album in years, so I went to buy the CD and found the remastered w/ bonus tracks CD. Man, that is a jewel of an album, that is one, if not my favorite, Dead album.
Also, the remastered version is by far sonically superior from the previous. Also of note is the bonus track of a live version of Dire Wolfe where Bob is doing the singing; its a God awfule version and pretty embarassing, you can see why Jerry took over that song.

[Good Times]

My choice of favorite studio album changes from time to time dependant on many factors but the current favorite that seems to hit the spot right now is Wake of The Flood.

[BluesDaddy]

Workingman's Dead is probably it for me right now. The harmonies on Uncle John's Band are so tight opening that album that it just envelopes you. And the album doesn't seem to let up after that. Altogether brilliant!

After that is probably Skull & Roses, American Beauty and Europe '72 (the first Dead album I ever owned).

[Zack]

I agree with the person who said American Beauty was one of the greatest albums by ANY group. Nothing matches its sound or its pathos.

I disagree - it was originally released as "For The Faithful"...look it up!

[I disagree - it was originally released as "For The Faithful"...look it up!

I used to have the For The Faithful LP, I always thought it was a bootleg edition, a couple of the song titles were a little bit different (same songs just the titles were different, like those import CD's of the 80's and 90's) if I recall correctly. Also I don't believe it was released bt Artista

I had it on cassette (gulp!)...I don't remember the song titles being different...but I think you may be right about it not being an Arista release...but it WAS a major label release (WB?), not one of those import thingys...I have one of those, too - "The Dead At Night," from Fox Theater, Atl, GA 1985. Good show, actually! Great recording - first set only, tho....

Originally released as Reckoning; the re-release was re-titled For The Faithful.

[mttourpro]

Just for the record, I had Reckoning (and still do) on 8-track! As TS said, t was re-released as For the Faithful.
FWIW, it actually is a pretty good sounding 8-track.

I remember going to Richmond in 85 in my Dad's car and it was the only thing we had to listen to the whole way there and back. It still plays!

I thought these might be something to consider for your next road trip...
