bONES Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 Thunder & Lightnin' DSO RELEASES FIRST LIVE CD All obstacles have been hurdled and the first in what is hoped to be a series of live CDs recorded by the legendary Betty Cantor-Jackson is now available for presale online at our storefront. Culled from the 2002 Oregon Country Faire, the single CD release features highlights from the show on Friday where the weather itself played an integral part of the light show. For those who were there it was an unforgettable experience and now it's available for the first time, prepared by Rob Eaton using Betty's immaculate digital mixdown masters. at a special on-line price of only $10 (plus shipping and handling.) Enjoy! FEATURING: ESTIMATED> TERRAPIN> MELTDOWN> SAINT STEPHEN> THROWING STONES> NFA> JAM> PLAYIN' REPRISE E: MUSIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 That's really cool bones. This will really help to get people to hear what they have to go experience. I've pointed people to the DSO website to listen to the band, but it will be much easier to just say "listen to this!" and then Go See em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 hey bouche...email me with your mailing address I bought an external cd burner for my laptop and have been burning shows. I need to hook people up:) Doing jamgrass cd's today...DSO & Friends (Sam Bush, Peter Rowan, Jorma and more) As far as "Thunder & Lightnin" goes...it's awesome! It was my first show working for the band, so it has real sentimental value too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woolner Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Don't you think people would rather download a good free Dead show instead? I can't understand why people would pay for DSO recordings. Very possibly because I've never listened to them .. but that's besides the point. Are they really so good at covering the dead that people are willing to pay for recordings?

Are they really so good at covering the dead that people are willing to pay for recordings? I'm with you, Woolner. Besides, doesn't this concept already exist... in a little series called "Dick's Picks", where you can get live concerts of the actual Grateful Dead? Why pay to hear a live recording of a band performing a live recording of a band, when you could have the actual live recording that is being imitated anyway? I'm getting dizzy...

PassedOutGuy Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 Truthfully Woolner.. they really are that good... go to their site and take a listen to many mp3's available.. u will not believe how close they actually are... And this coming from someone who has seen the Dead numerous times and not one DSO show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted May 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 The Oregon Country Faire shows were all electives...meaning DSO created their own setlist rather than selecting one of the Deads...so you're not going to find a Dick's Picks version on this one And to all those skeptics, I say..."to each their own" if you don't get it or dig it...fine, there are plenty of us that do and as the merch person for the band, i can tell you there has definately been the demand for a cd at the table who knows maybe when/if you skeptics hear thunder & lightnin' you'll have a different opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 7, 2003 Report Share Posted May 7, 2003 I can see their point, IF they haven't been to a DSO show. However, having been to a few, I have a tough time explaining to folks "how really fugging good they are" and why it's worth the trip. The CD will be great for that...and I think, after seeing DSO, it would be nice to have that to show people what they're all about. It's truely a great experience. I think that Higher Ground is probably one of the better venues to experience the Orchestra. We went to that and had such a blast. We travelled to Burlington just for that show, and it was worth it.
