Forum MVP Tea Posted March 18, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/ Ask Me Anything *ANNOUNCEMENT* ROB EATON of Dark Star Orchestra will be with us on May 8th at 7pm Mountain. Sure to be a good time. Everyone welcome! I’d ask: Are there any emerging artists or genres that inspire you enough to affect how you express the Grateful Dead canon now? What would you ask Rob?

Fireonshakedwnstreet Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 So cool. Something about taping I guess. Rob has hit the trifecta of Grateful Dead devotion: taping, sharing, and playing the music. I would thank him mostly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP John A Posted March 18, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Wow when you put the "trifecta of devotion" like that it's got an impressive ring to it. Ignoring the sharing and playing, has Rob ever made a more seminal Dead tape than with Jeff Silberman in Philly 4-21-84? Beyond this recording in and of itself, the capture seemed to open the door to more spaced omni efforts and even even more large diaphragm microphone efforts.

I can guarantee you he wouldn’t travel to see them even though if he was asked in an interview he’d likely give a PC answer as opposed to saying what he really thought. I’m shocked how many hardcore deadheads are actually ok with the music. It’s not gotten better. It was a shit show fall 2015 but it wasn’t a snails pace yet. Now it’s slow and more popular than ever. Have to assume it’s about the party and the chance of seeing monet’s cleavage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a BEAUTIFUL tape of a monster show. Neumann U-87 is synonymous with Rob Eaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to listen to this, and would love to know Rob's answer. The last time you recommended a split omni recording (7/15/88), it became one of my favorites.

Forum MVP John A Posted March 19, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yeah that 7-15-88 Sean Weber tape is next level stuff. There's a particular Phil load in the Eaton / Silberman 4-21-84 that is haunting. I want to say it's right before China Doll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Slip is one of the sickest ever, and my personal favorite. April 84 is hot, hot, hot! Will have to check out that 88! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP chuckvegas Posted March 19, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 How about releasing the sets lists for the COVID canceled shows so we can create a fantasy tour self quarantined dance party? 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted March 19, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 How ‘bout DSO does a show, while maintaining proper distances, with no audience, and live stream it. We can all dance together from home. All at the same time! simultaneously, alone, together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only for DSO, but for other musicians during this time...a way for people to enjoy some 'live' music while stuck at home,, and a way for musicians to be able to make a few dollars during this time of hardship... The handful of live stream shows that I've watched, DSO, and other bands,,,have been a really cool experience to be able to connect with the music in the moment,,from home.

Forum MVP Dead duck Posted March 19, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Holly Bowling played a show from her living room the other day with a virtual “tip jar.” I imagine it was a little easier doing it solo but I popped in and out on it and she plays beautifully. I saw a comedian was gonna do something similar but I didn’t watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum MVP Greg from Chestertown Posted March 19, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Yea, I got the idea after watching Steven Colbert. It didn’t work, he wasn’t funny. It can work with music though. It could be an interesting path for the band to go down without the crowd ‘distractions’ yet knowing that a bunch of people are tuned in, taking it in. Of course, only if it can be pulled off in a healthy way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forum MVP John A Posted March 20, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Agree with Rude's statement but only if we specify "amplified live sound." Home systems can do a frighteningly good job of replicating live acoustic sounds. But as for replicating the power and grandiosity of a large PA at a modest to medium sized theater, no, that's absolutely not possible. With the caveat that said PA sound might be shit, and no one would ever want to replicate it. 😛 Fortunately with a band like DSO, in today's technological age, that's rarely if ever going to be the case.

Forum MVP Island Bro Posted March 20, 2020 Forum MVP Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 Obviously it wouldn’t be the same as going to a live show at a theater... But if I was a vegetarian, I would still enjoy a veggie burger... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
