jon. Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 oh i will care to comment..... get a fucking life, and don't take yer GD so seriously, i've heard it once so far, it may not be the best show ever, but there are some moments... It is a good one for the collector. the jams are short and the early 80's are a bit rough around the edges....but my opinion rarely jives with many others...like: I think the new "Dead" toatlly suck, but hey everyone deserves an opinion.

secondtube Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 jon, i'm sure you know, because i put that in quotes, i didn't write it. a guy questioned the GD tapers compandeum (sp) comment. I'm sure i'd probably question a comment like that as well... i just followed your link, and it was the only response ... but before i download the show, i figure the question was worth repeating.

jon. Posted December 20, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 hey steve - i realize that it was not your comment, and my response was certainly not directed at you. I find reviews like that to be of no help what so ever....i downloaded it simply because i had read about that show in steve parish's book(he actually says it wasn't the best show....how could it be, they started th efirst set at 4am), and was just curious to hear it....i really like early 80's dead, even though it can at times be kinda rough...i just like the raw guitar tone that Jerry gets. I'd say that it is worth a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 .....hmmmm.....some of you may know our hippie buddy Taj who was around 40 Main this past summer, he was actually at this show/festival and had some crazy stories about this day/night! Said it was like the GD was playing in their backyard, they took a cooler into the show filled with.....buds! The funny thing was, Bobby and the Midnites opened the festival, and a lot of people thought they smoked the Dead that day, that it was far from the GD's best performance. You can find the shn's of that on gdlive I believe (warning for Weir heads ONLY). I listened to this with Taj and it was amazing to see his reaction as it all came back to him 21 years later, very cool. Like most GD performances I'm sure it's not as bad as some say it is....but there were some stinkers, that's fo sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I have the Clash set** from this festival...but the next night,they even make a joke about bring the GD back out if folks didnt liven up,I have read many reviews and not many are favourable,I did read somewhere that members of the GD were not happy with the way things were goin at this fest...although I enjoy the show myself,it appears GD were not to well liked by the organizers and their performace lacking...I guess GD did quite abit of whinin' or somthing..if I can find the link for the comments made by one of the organizers I will post it. **The Clash Date: 1982-11-27 Venue: Jamaica World Music Festival,Montego Bay, Kingston, Jamaica Source: SBD or FM > ? > CD-R > EAC > wav > mkwACT 0.97 beta 1 > shn 1.

secondtube Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 quote: "From the first note to the last, this performance is a pathetic embarrassment." So says the Taper's Compendium, anyway... Does anyone care to comment on this? Is it really that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
