I always throw on a 69 or earlier post show. I'm trying to listen to more 80s myself. I realize I have lots of 69,72,77,89,90 on a USB plugged into my stereo but nothing early to mid 80s. Many of those early post Betty Jean boards aren't all that great if a board is available at all. I've been delving into more JGB as I don't like to not know a song and if I don't at a show it's pretty much always a JGB that he played only a few times. It's sort of strange that I Gravitate to pre 79 dead but like my JGB late 80s and 90s.

Up until fall of 84, there are a lot of great, punchy,fob tapes that excel in energy and crunchiness. As far as songs selection, it all broke loose in 85, a lot of Hunters own material gets lost or forgotten in the GD fray, I'd like to see some promontory or rock Columbia creations, lest not leave out the creator

Crew, you aren't a fan of the last golden era of audience tapes, the late 80s through 1991? I submit that the finest audience tapes made were '88 through '90. If I were to zero in on something it would be Cal Expo '90 Schoeps spaced omnis.

I'm a fan of the tapes from 88-91. Great equipment was developed and getting into shows. We nailed Cal Expo in 89 with that 25 min scarlet>fire and the Chinacat>(Cumberland?)I did sense a drop in the dead's sound around 1992. I'd be at shows and could hear people around me talking better than the band's sound. That wasn't happening before 1992. they always seemed to crank and rock the place; however, the sound took a big dive in 1992 (from my experiences). Along the lines of getting some of Hunter's , "non-dead" songs, I wonder which DSO band member could pull off a Promontory Rider, Who Baby Who, Aim at The Heart, Ammagamalin Street, or any of his other relevant, soul gripping material?
