That's because it was recorded by Ron and Susan Wickersham. While I prefer analogue to digital (I'll never give up my vinyl), the remastered Live Dead CD is quite good. The piece de resistance has yet to come though: the Dead is finally releasing the ENTIRE '69 Filmore West run that the Live Dead album was culled from. We'll get to hear Ron's (et al) documentation of what could arguably be the Dead's finest run in it's entirety, warts and all. Ck my link (below) from my thread on this topic in the miscellaneous section of the club site.

I still maintain that Live Dead is the commercial release that comes closest to the real thing. While the is NOTHING like a Grateful Dead concert, Ron's work is as close as it gets...and it's got Pig Pen too, LOL!

Cheers,

On yet another bit of a tangent, this is one of my favorite Dead/music-related websites (just in case some of you haven't seen it - it's WAY better than gdlive or nugs.net):

Check out the stuff from other artists too, there are tons of gems... and from tape-friendly bands.

ditto the Live Dead comment.....

Europe 72 is another good one, although there are overdubs in some places, I still think it probably one of the top 5 live albums around....I have a copy of that one on the shows that came from, and it is simply amazing..

Phils bass sounds amazing on that one...

sigh....too bad its all over...

IIRC, all of the vocals on Europe 72 were done in the studio, so it is really a half-live album. Still great though. I'm another Live/Dead fan. The closest to the concert experience. Skullf**k, a.k.a. the Skull & Roses album, is also pretty good.

Bill, tgo

SF (S&R)is a great album, but the sound is not up to snuff. More Pig Pen though!

I don't know about the sound not being up to snuff. Snuff was one of the few substances I never used at a Dead show. hehehehe

Bill, tgo

It was, I assure you, up to sniff......
