The Good Ol' Grateful Thread

I know this wasn’t one of the options but if we are trying to find the one readily available GD set I would go with One From the Vault. You can find it for about the same price as those other two.

Grateful Dead One From The Vault Live San Francisco 1975 3x Vinyl LP Record SALE | eBay

For a legacy filled with legendary performances, the Grateful Dead. One From The Vault as The band only played 4 shows during that entire year! “Help on the Way,” “Franklin’s Tower” and “The Music Never Stopped” cohere into a twenty-minute song cycle.

I bought a buncha live Dead albums on vinyl, then realized that the live shows are better to listen to on CD or streaming haha.

Same here! At this point I try to stick to the 2-3 disc releases for LPs

I'm as big of a Brent guy as can be and I think Europe 72 is far more essential, even if I love the late 80s/90s sound more.

One from the Vault is my pick.

So, ifi want to buy only one a: europe '72 or without a net, which one do I go for?

Probably Europe ‘72 though once you factor in a live version of “Althea” Without A Net probably closer than most.

Europe 72 Morning Dew: "hold my beer"

 

[spilledleche]

I'd probably say that the last LP of Europe 72 (Truckin/Epilog/Prelude/Morning Dew) is the most perfect encapsulation of the Dead

 

[zdkaiser]

Euro 72 for that Morning Dew.

"NO ONE WAS IN THE TRUCK!"

Think this ranks up there with the MoFi pressings of the other Garcia/Grisman albums as far as audio quality goes. Sounds superb. Looks to be pressed by Furnace (Pallas).

Getting to go to Honolulu for work, and getting to see a Dead cover band? As the Dead themselves would say:

So on Records Store Day Black Friday my local didn’t get their supply of the Garcia/Grisman So What in and said they would email me when they got it in… which they did but when I clicked on the link it was dead and so I assumed I missed the boat it was out of stock. Turns out immediately after it got posted online they got bombarded by flippers and bots who purchased them all in a matter of minutes. The manager said fuck it, cancelled and refunded all the online orders and decided to only sell the title in store but no one told me. So while I was picking up some other stuff I noticed they had at least a half dozen in stock at retail. So everything worked out.

TL;DR: If anybody lives near Tacoma, Hi-Voltage still has 5 or 6 copies available for in store purchase of Garcia/Grisman - So What
