Forum MVP Tea Posted April 14, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Awesome... listening to Shoreline version first. This recording is absolutely incredible... Is Charlie Miller a famous taper? I had heard that too about Mr. Miller Wow...The Shoreline version of DR is just pristine. This one will be looped until I puke and then looped some more. That whole show gives me the goosebumps. I also just got through the Kaiser 86 version and am blown away by this one too. There is just a ton of heart that shinin through! Kaiser 88 is next and I can't hardly wait. Thanks for the great recommendations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Dstone5553 Posted April 14, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Awesome... listening to Shoreline version first. This recording is absolutely incredible... Is Charlie Miller a famous taper? Miller taped some shows but he is really known for the millions of shows he's 'liberated' by his transfers and remastering. There are some shows, like 1/15/79 Springfield that none of us had owned boards of, but mostly, his remasters are all about upgrades, like his not too long ago 10/10/82 offering as well as master auds. People like Eaton or Joni Walker & Paul Sotton will give him a DAT and Miller will do what he does and give it to the world via the Internet. He works for Steve Kimock as a recording engineer I think and does his many hours of labor for us during his fee time. He definitely has a special place in heaven reserved because his work has most assuredly improved the quality of many a life. Thanks for the great recommendations! My pleasure. Those are some of the versions of that song which have held a very dear place in my heart for a long time and it makes me happy to know others are making a place for them in theirs. Very happy.

This show has inspired me to delve into the 80's... my understanding of the subtleties and nuances of the music played in '65 to '79 is expansive however, I've yet to truly immerse myself in '80 to '89. For example, I never would have been able to appreciate this Desolation Row as much as I have if it wasn't located for me.

I am no walking deadbase like Stone, or have even listened to a quarter of the Dead that many people on here have...... but 89 happens to be one of my favorite years- so if you haven't listened to Shoreline 9-29- 89, do so (first Death Don't in 19 years.....my favorite 80's show), and of course the famous Warlock shows 8-9 OCT 89. I'm pretty sure those are must-haves, or at least 80's GD 101. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think I'll listen to this one today at work. Its one of those shows where just within the opening notes, you can tell the band is firing on all cylinders and the band and crowd were completely in sync. (And that is just a guess...I'm sure several of you were there). This show is all about Brent to me....his playing and singing are top-notch. I actually had a debate about the Death Don't over the weekend too....IMO this is the best Death Don't out of the 4 they played later on. Some say the Warlocks was better but Jerry almost embodies Jimmy Hendrix this night....huge jam and then my favorite moment during the whole song is after Brent's verse he lets out this wahooooooo..... Would love to dance to this sometime....hmmmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to dance to this sometime....hmmmmmmm. No, you are correct. Anyone who knows which way is up understands that the Shoreline Death was the best of the bunch, even if it wasn't their personal favorite. The Hampton and the Spectrum are also considered 'epic' but this Shoreline verson is known for the Garcia solo, which is actually one of the best leads in the history of the Grateful Dead, whether you are talking about 1968 or1972 or 1974 or 1978 or whatever. It was so powerful, that even you wouldn't have been able to dance during it ... you wouldn't have been able to move towards the end of it is my guess (hard to believe I'm sure...but take my word). It's funny because for this breakout of the Death, there was an immediate groan from most people who knew the history of this music when Bob took that second verse. Garcia, having taken the vocals on those cataclysmic renditions of this song in ’68 and '69 became the reason for the coining of the word 'epic' in the first place (for all you English majors out there). However, it took me to the second line in Weir's verse to let go of that sadness (others who were much more old school than me, maybe not so much), and by the time Brent uttered the phrase "death will leave you" to lead off his verse (which came immediately following the paralyzing Garcia solo), my knees buckled, along with the rest of me. Something about the way Brent sang that sent chills throughout that amphitheatre and it was clear in that moment for the modern day Death Don't Have No Mercy...that this was a brave new world. It's a shame they didn't try to do it again in the summer of '90. Weir and Brent switched verses at Omni and it just didn't have the spook that Neil talks about. This show was good...not insane and not in the very top shows of this year, in my opinion. Really good first set but second set has some technichal problems (they all left the stage) and it didn't really get going until the post space.

Really good first set but second set has some technichal problems and it didn't really get going until the Death. I agree about the second set. But love the China>rider and blow away, though not the best blow away IMO. The Death Don't sells it for me. and as far as the dancing paralysis during the solo- you are definitely right (I know what happens when I listen to it while sitting at work). I probably would have been on the floor crunched over my knees- that seems to be the safe spot during intense moments aside from actually wanting to be rolling around on the floor but somehow that doesn't seem too appropriate in a music venue. I call it my favorite 80's just because of the Death, but I have to say I probably shouldn't be calling any show my favorite show considering there is soooo much out there I've never listened to. I'd love to know what your top 10 must listen-to shows are . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to know what your top 10 must listen-to shows are . No, that's not true, it's all subjective. That's not what I meant to do when I shared how I compare this show (it's obviously a special one for me). First set is one of those 'perfect' ones and the Death is what some people think of as the last out of body moment from this band so, yes it IS a fact that this is the best modern day Death but it's also MORE than valid for you to call this one of your favorite shows Personally, I got off on second set Blow Aways to the point where I felt close to seizuring. Having that song in the second set was as good as it got, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having that song in the second set was as good as it got, for me. Its all good....I asked you that because I always sit here at work wondering what show to listen to but get lost in the archives! I usually go to whatever year I want, sort for highest rating, then pick the Charlie Miller recording. I dunno just seems like that will get me some good stuff. But I find myself listening to the same shows over and over again. I can't remember what my favorite Blow Away is- but I feel like there is one or two out there that I liked better than this one.....but give me a blow away any day in any format and I'll take it! My favorite Brent tune. for today. Also, your avatar pics are one of the best things about this board. Lisa, you are like a professional animal photojournalist! ha! THey aren't my pics or even my kitties I search the internet for the kitty pics- (they usually are a reflection of my mood ....note the sleepy snuggly kitty....after 10 shows thats all I want to do).
