The Good Ol' Grateful Thread

Pretty big drama in the Dead & Co shakedown community this past week. I'll post the Reddit thread of it, but a lot of it was documented via Instagram stories of victims reaching out.

TL;DR - A few lot vendors but mostly Holy Moly Mischief are being (finally) called out for their pervy, predatory behavior. HMM was finally removed from Vegas shakedown and hopefully is gone for good.


Dead & Co played Man Smart, Woman Smarter to open last night's show. Love to see it.

Wake of the Flood reissue arrived. Not thrilled with it. The inner labels on the OG were perfect and one of the reasons I love vinyl records as a medium. The creativity behind the crow grasping the turntable spindle is not lost on me. This reissue now has blurry crow drawings on the inner labels without any note of which is side A and B. Kinda lame. Only a minor complaint. Doesnt really matter.

I'm not really that impressed with the audio on the reissue. I have a VG+ OG that I need to compare, but this reissue sounds kinda muffled and muddy to me. Especially Stella Blue, sounds compressed. I feel like I really need to crank up the volume to get the audio to "open up". Pressed at MRP, has some rotational clicks and random bursts of distortion. Meh.

That’s a bummer. I am happy with my 2018 Rhino Rocktober pressing, I suppose I’ll hold on to that one a little longer.
