The following year, only one more Dead bootleg was released and then in 2015, it happened – the floodgates opened and Grateful Dead bootlegs on vinyl started to get produced with some regularity, and mostly thanks to unofficial record labels in Europe. In fact, no Grateful Dead bootlegs were released for the first 12 years of the 21 st century, but then in 2013, unofficial record label, Let Them Eat Vinyl, released New Year’s Eve 1987 (The Full Legendary Broadcast). The 21 st century Grateful Dead revival was thanks to tribute bands and the Dead doing what they do best, live music however, that did not translate into the bootleg vinyl scene. In 2003, The Other Ones officially changed their name to The Dead, which evolved into the creation of other Grateful Dead tribute bands, like Further and Dead & Company, as musicians were added and subtracted from the equation. In 2000, the Dead’s original drummer, Bill joined The Other Ones, but Phil left, and it wasn’t until 2 years later when Phil rejoined the band that marked the first time Weir, Lesh, Kreutzmann and Hart had all toured together since the fateful summer of 1995. (2nd Detroit show in a row with an abbreviated 2nd set, 3 plus 3, with US encore.The long strange trip of the Grateful Dead appeared to end when Jerry died in 1995, but momentum started to pick back up 3 years later when Bob, Phil, and Mickey got together with other musicians, like Bruce Hornsby, and formed the 1 st Grateful Dead tribute band, called The Other Ones, that included original members of the band. A gorgeous outro jam by Garcia leads into a reassuring but still slightly tired "Good Lovin." The run closes unremarkably with "US Blues." There's not much fight remaining which is why "Stella" is an appropriate choice. They're in-sync, but seem to lack a certain extroverted powerful element. They choose the 'T' and despite some early sound distortions, it's standard. go the 11/1 route with "OO" or "Truckin". A tight, exploratory jam that refreshingly ends with droplets emerging from the drummers' faucet. Thankfully, "Playin" has a head of steam, confidently chugs its way through the written song. "Terrapin" continues on a strong determined path despite lacking an outro jam. "Deal" closes this better than average winter '79 1st set with assured flair.Ģnd Set: Their first 'Samson' smokes right on by. "Minglewood" is pushing the overplayed label but this version is better than the previous few nights. "LLR" is fine, but the spirit of "Brown" feels especially genuine this evening. "BIODTL" & "Dire" increase the vibe that this gig's taking place in a snug, intimate venue. Shows/snippets that are Must listens include: 2nd set of 1/5, and 1/10, "He's Gone" on through 1/11, "Dancin" through "NFA" on 1/12, "Estimated" through "Around" on 1/14, the jammier sections of the 1/17 2nd Set, and the 30 minutes of bliss on 1/20.ġst Set: "Sugaree" - Passionately sung by Jerry."Uncle-> River"'s some good ol' fun. Well, we've come to the end of the NE Winter '79 run. Thanks to Teri "RamblinRose" for the source SHNs. This is the only time the Grateful Dead played this theatre. A great deal of careful study was given to the acoustical treatment of this room which has produced an auditorium where the hearing qualities are perfect from every seat. The decorative treatment of the auditorium has considerable detail adapted from the Venetian Gothic, and the general tone is gold which has been enlivened with red and blue to produce a quiet richness of color seldom attempted in this type of work. The show occurred in the Main Theatre of the Masonic Temple, one of the finest public halls in the United States, having a seating capacity of about 4,500 that produced a very intimate contact between audience and stage. To compensate, the Dead played a lively and energetic show-"The winter was so hard and cold". The show occurred in the dead cold of Mid-West winter, and started late as the crowd waited over an hour outside for the doors to open. Most of the tracks in Set 2 are cut at their end. Even though its still hissy, it was very hissy before the NR. The recording has undergone some DSP that includes EQ and NR (I found a nice piece of hiss to formulate a decent sample). This audience recording is marginal at best, but does reproduce a super show (not just because it was my first Dead show!) that should be of interest to collectors.
