[QUOTE=joshmay;16593565]how was mountain jam man? i havent heard from anybody that went...[/QUOTE]

Mountain Jam was tight. Best 3 day stretch of my life. It started out bad as my friend got caught with a half ounce of weed and security kind of held him up for awhile before sending him all the way home. ****ers. so we ended up missing all the friday bands except mule and the late night. But Gov't Mule made up for the missed sets with a monster show. Some great sit ins from Brendan Bayliss on Sugaree, Grace Potter and her guitarist on Whole Lotta Love, Jake Cinninger on Dear Prudence, and Ivan Neville along with the Galactic saxaphonist on Spanish Moon. The Dear Prudence was probably the highlight of the night. Amazing. It's on youtube, check it out. Don't Step On The Grass, Sam was awesome too, especially fun for us because of what happened with security early in the day. By the way, security was amazingly loose inside the festival, they only cared about people bringing stuff in, not what people did once they got in. After Mule, we went back to the campsite to regroup and then went to galactic. The first song was a sick jam with Ivan Neville (Neville Brothers, keyboard) and Andy Hess (Mule, bass) sitting in. But then the rest of the set sucked. They had a crappy rapper up there ruining everything. We left after 3-4 songs. Should've gone to Lotus who were also playing late night instead.

Saturday was a pretty swell day too. Sharon Jones, Jackie Greene and Michael Franti really impressed me during the day. Ray LaMontagne was solid too and I really enjoyed the little I saw of Mofro. Mule tore it up again with another great show and then Dark Star Orchestra played the late night. Their set was shorter than I hoped cause Mule did a really long encore complete with fireworks, but they were great. So Many Roads was perfect. Liberty was great to see too.

Sunday the highlight was Levon Helm. What an amazing guy. So much fun to see. MSMW blew my mind too. I've never seen such great jamming. I'll definitely be back at Mountain Jam next year. What a fun time.

Sounds awesome. Bummer about missing Lotus though, a festival late-night slot is the ideal atmosphere for them.

John Butler Trio, Keller Williams, Dispatch

Yeah I wasn't familiar with Lotus' stuff then (i'm still not) but they must've been better than Galactic. I'd heard good things about Galactic but they were pretty lousy at Mountain Jam.

I'm so baked right now listening to Bertha from Dick's Picks 18. I never really listen to Dick's Picks but this seems pretty damn good.

Yea, Lotus is awesome. Although I've gathered from our posting that I probably enjoy their style more than you do. They play sort of that trance/electronica jam, only they have more of an upbeat take on it than say, Particle. And I can't blame you for checking out Galactic, who I've also heard are amazing in concert.

TMNS on DP 18 is dynamite, one of the best versions I've ever heard. I generally like the DPs because the sound quality is really good. Although DP 18 sounds kind of weird, but that's probably got more to do with the sound from the SBDs of this period (early 78) than the mastering for the CDs. Other highlights on that one are the Scarlet>Fire and the Other One, which absolutely smokes.

Man, I just discovered that TMNS. I listened to it like 5 times today. Best Music Never Stopped I've ever heard. The interplay between them is incredible. Bobby's rhythm playing is mindblowing on that and Jerry just goes off. And I love the lyrics to that song. Describes the band so perfectly. Anyways, that's definitely the best Music Never Stopped I've ever heard. 10/9/77 is pretty good though.

Music Never Stopped inspired me to listen to all of DP's 18 now to see if the whole show is that on fire. It's not, but still a great show. Cold Rain And Snow was really cool just cause how many times do you get to hear that?

I always loved how with a song like CR&S (pretty much a perfect example), Jerry would consistently play it a few times a year, after of course the early days when it was played much more frequently. It amazes me that they could keep such a good grip on their ridiculously massive repertoire.

dude ive got this show from 6 24 70 where they do an insane medley, its like

dark star > attics of my life > dark star > sugar magnolia > dark star > st. stephen > china cat sunflower > i know you rider



NUTS

Yea that show is amazing. It's every bit as good as the setlist makes it seem.

Haha man, I know that show well. The Capitol Theatre (where the show is from) is 5 minutes from my house in the next town ever. I still don't understand why they ever played in Portchester, NY but maybe it used to be much cooler than it is now. That show is honestly one of my favorite shows in terms of performance. I think if it was a soundboard recording people would recognize it as the masterpiece that it is. NRPS played a great opening set that night too, make sure you give that one a listen.

I have every show they ever played at the Capitol and they are all gold. Some are really bad sound quality (notably the November 1970 run) but still worth a listen. 2/18/71 is the most essential though.

It's really sad to see the Capitol being used for Proms and Sweet Sixteen parties now. What a decline.

so what is the best soundboard tape (in terms of quality and performance) you all would say you have? (and would you upload it please?)

:smoke:

That's a really hard question. Cornell pops into my head immediately but I'll have more in a few minutes.

I doubt I could pick just one, 90% of what I have is sbds so it's all sounds really good... But in general 72, 74 (WOS), 77, 80, 83 are almost always quality.

yeah thats a pretty broad question, so im gonna narrow it down. [b]earlier[/b] (pre- wake of the flood maybe?) soundboards. ive not got that much and what i do have is mostly tapers in the crowd and sh!t...if anybody takes the time to post somethin up ill return the favor.

joshmay, do you use bitorrent?

Just tell me what you want me to upload it with and I'll do it.

i never have been able to figure bittorrent out for some fuc[size=2]k[/size]in reason... megaupload or rapidshare would be awesome. pretty much the only way i can find music right now is searching blogs and record crates...

Betty Boards (named so because of Betty Cantor-Jackson, operating the sound board) are all phenomenal sounding...I used to have a list of them but I lost it. Included in the list are 5/8/77 and 2/18/71 - that should tell you something about the quality of them.

Edit: Here we go:

I'm uploading 3 shows, 1977-05-25 - The Mosque, 1974-06-18 - Freedom Hall, and 1972-05-26 - The Strand Lyceum, I'll have the link up by tomorrow morning. These are some of my favorite shows, and the sbds are very high quality. The Mosque especially.

I haven't heard any of those shows so I'm pretty excited. If I can figure out megaupload on a mac, i'll upload some shows.

Might As Well is a really awesome song that doesn't get nearly enough credit. Just putting it out there. It's a really great opener. DSO opened with it when I saw them and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since.

I've been streaming this show this afternoon- [url]http://www.archive.org/details/gd77-10-29.sbd.kempa.280.sbeok.shnf[/url]

Awesome Might As Well opener, Estimated > Eyes... good stuff.

[url]http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LNQ8GJNV[/url]
All 3 shows...

Megaupload isn't to hard (I'm using a mac). Just zip the file and then upload it, pretty self explanatory.

Right, but how do I zip the files? I used to use a program called Winzip when I had a dell but I don't think Winzip works on macs? Does it? Or do you know what program will?

I just use stuffit expander, it comes with mac. It should open automatically when you click on the file.

Well my external hard drive with all my music crashed for the 2nd time this summer. So I can't try that now. Large music collections are a real pain in the *** when you lose them. Hopefully, I'll get most of it back today though, and then I can upload some shows. I'm thinking maybe 2/18/71, 2/14/68 and 11/6/77. Or maybe one of the Ark shows from 4/69. Those are all terrific shows.

dude last year i had 80 gigs of sh[size=2]i[/size]t crash on me...idk if i will ever get back some of the stuff i had. it kinda made me skittish of tryin to have any kind of real mp3 collection...

Yeah I lost 20,000 songs. It's rough. I am managing to get most of them back pretty easily though since my hard drive still works well enough to back up some of my files on another computer.

This is just a killer show, through and through. The Let it Grow and Jack Staw are smokin' as well.

Freedom Hall 6/18/74 may very well be the best show ever. The second set jam is phenomenal. LiG goes waaaaay deep, into the Other One....words cannot describe these sections. You have to hear this as soon as possible. This is truly the band beyond description. They even encore with Dew...that should tell you something.

I don't have that Freedom Hall show, I'll have to download it now. I do have the Iowa show from 2 nights before though, great show. The Eyes Of The World is one of the best ever.

Yea, the Eyes>Big River is awesome. It helps that I love Big River, but that's such a cool and unique transition. The Playin' that follows is also a great one.

my dad went to all the iowa dead shows and more


<_<

lucky

so i got the 6/74 des moines and louisville shows today, some fuc[size=2]k[/size]in righteous jams.

look
for awhile
at the chiii
na cat sunflower

I'm listening to China Cat right now. Dick's Picks 12. Good stuff.

I saw Tea Leaf Green twice last week. Great fun as always. Got to meet Josh Clark too. And talk to Reed again.

tlg did a really good job at all good. i wasnt really familiar with their material but it was a good set.
