A place to talk about the music of the Grateful Dead
),I would have done that.

People in the audiance don't appear to be having as a good of a time as they should, reminds me of the time I laid out big bucks to see the Stones in the Baltimore Civic center on there last tour. Great music but it was hard to really get into it as most people were just holding up there damn phones taping the show. None of energy you get from the crowds at a dead show. That and no drugs ( I took my daughters).Eff the audio quality on the vids. The key here was that Page hit his marks... which he didn't do at LiveAid or the other "reunion"... and that Plant actually sounds prety damned good for a grandfather. (Hey, got any grandfathers here who could headline this show?).

Chuckles wrote:Well put, not to mention the huge contributions Page made to the recording of guitar signals to tape. No one did it better, and still to the day, no one has gotten better tones than what he recorded to tape on LZ 1 and 2. He was a pioneer in the studio as much as he was on the stage.
And, just to add a little guitar thang... whereas Garcia trancended genres, Page defined one.

Shaggy wrote:That isn't exactly true, there isn't much difference between audiences of Europe and the States.Maybe not as much there used to be. Still I don't see how one could opine on the crowd's enjoyment unless one was actually among them.
