I need a new dead show. I like 70-74 best.But im in a dry spell. i cant find a set on archive that i wanna commit to and download just for the reason i dont have enuf time to listen to each track before i put em on cd. (i dont wanna waste cds on a show thats lack-luster)

So help me out im in the mood for a 70-74 soundboard set but i wanna be able to hear bobby clearly in the mix thats a high priority. Overall whatever you suggest im grateful:)

I love hearing what other Dead heads like with shows.
Thanks

8/1/73...Roosevelt Stadium..Garcia's birthday...In the 2nd set...DS>>EP>>EYES>>DEW Comes in arond 60,70 minutes...It's an hour of mind fucking quintessential psychedelia that ONLY the Grateful Dead could provide 8)

 #37452  by big_river_bum
 
i'd suggest 5/26/73 as well. easily in my top 5 shows of all-time. good mix and sound quality, each instrument can be heard clearly from the others. listen to the china>rider and bow down to bobby's contribution :cool: it's my favorite version. something separates it from others of the era, but i can't put my finger on it. i think its the drumming which really propels the transition jam. eyes and hcss are both top notch as well.

get 8-6-71 if you don't already have it. one of the best audience recordings ever. taper is right in the middle of the venue, probably right in front of the soundboard.

I have an audience version of this show and it is excellent. the last bit DS>Eyes>Playin' is soundboard though and just right :cool:

Also it contains one of my favorite Jack Straws, Box of Rain, and China>Rider. Nice LLR, and You Ain't Woman Enough is actually spunky and fun to listen to.

listen to jerry between the 4-5 minute mark of gdtrfb. his fingers are on absolute fire and every note is perfect. i feel the solo rides and builds throughout the entire jam better than the 9-21-72 version. after the jam bobby lets out a scream of unmistakable enthusiasm and excitement. one of my favorite dead moments

 #37485  by swainsonsthrush
 
ya know... 70 through 74 is quite a spread with 70 shows (and to a large degree) 71 shows being quite different from the the 72-74 period which saw it's own development. I've been delving heavily into this period lately myself, having near totally burned out on 77.

I really like the '73 recommendations so far. 5/26 adn 6/10 are excellent. I'd like to offer a few earlier shows for contrast. Both 1/2 and 1/3 from 70 are worth the DL. If you'd like a touch of 70's acoustic thrown it there are a few good choices. I would cite 9/20 as a good example.

For 71, one of the shows in my regular rotation is Austin 11/15 (interestingly, I note that Bobby's guitar is channeled right and Jerry's left in my sbd copy, when often is seems the reverse). The Portchest runs (Capitol Theater) from late 70 and early 71 have a lot of interesting stuff, many firsts, is real fun stuff, but unpolished.

If I had to pick just one from 72 (I'd probably couldn't do it) but I really like Winterland 12/31.

Great question. I look forward to checking out others picks.

By the way, brother, you don't have to listen to the whole track to get it....but you didn't hear that from me. :)

Happy listening.

never said it was the best, but good looks on the other show big river bum

to each his own, i love the dead. :lol:

"to each his own, i love the dead"

ain't that the truth! no other band affords the opportunity to its fans to listen to so much music and pick between so many amazing versions of songs. i was in no way trying to belittle your recommendation :-) the fact is there's so many great versions of each song that just mentioning them is showing the way to some amazing performances for those who are looking. i will go out on a limb and say that the nfa>gdtrfb>nfa combo was at its peak in mid to late '72 :cool:

THANK YOU GUYS, i got a lot of listening to do
