Subject: Yes!!!
I only had the last few songs of this show and was listening to big boss man wondering why i didnt listen to this more. then i jumped online, found Millers upload and started listening to every song.

I was baffled as to why i didnt have most of these songs then realized that this was uploaded within the last 6 months (after i had last searched for this show).

Thank you for putting this online, Charlie, such an amazing show!!!

I'll be digging into this one for a while.

~ Classic Superduper 72' Soundboard ~

Five stars for the mix, recording, performance, transfer, & "dance-ability".

If you haven't clicked on Charlie Miller's name and collected ALL his GRATEFUL DEAD shows, you should, he has impeccable taste. God Bless Mister Charlie Miller.

I highly recommend adding this NYC show to your 1972 GRATEFUL DEAD collection.

This is a "Must Have" show for all us Pigpen and Keith fans.

The New York City crowds always brought out the best in the GRATEFUL DEAD. The boys are pumped up for the "wild" NYC crowd.

I remember seeing the microphones at this show, and I thought I remembered seeing video cameras too....where's the video, man?

The 14th St Theater (Academy of Music) was an old vaudeville house, then it became a movie theater. Funky and full of character it was huge, with 4 or 5 balconies. Complete with mirror ball hanging from the ceiling casting lights all over the people, stage and theater. Quite a spectacle when the seats were filled with hippys, freaks, weirdos, drop-outs, druggies and other counter-culter elite.

I recommend using your EQ during playback of most of the shows on the IA, this one included.

Windows Media Player has a 10 band EQ and SRS WOW effects that enhance the sound.

Solid, "In the Pocket" performances of all our favorite songs from the 1972 set list.

Here's one way to download this show:

The IA recommends users of Windows XP view this web-page with RealPlayer.

RealPlayer is a free media player you can download at www.realplayer.com.

Using RealPlayer to view this webpage, click the VBR M3U link to open the songs in the Playlist. If your Playlist is not open, open it by clicking the Playlist icon at the lower right hand corner of RealPlayer. Once the songs are in the Playlist, double click the song to play it, then click the record button at the lower left hand corner of Realplayer to record it.

When the red line reaches the other end click the stop button to download the song. Your song is in the RealPlayer Downloads folder. Repeat these steps for each song.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

Thanks for the LOVE from 1972.

Freedom of speech is sayin' the things you don't want to hear isn't it, or is it burning the American flag, I get confused?

To the two of you slinging mud, what's the point? I'm reading these reviews for insight into the music. I'm not looking for comments about others' reviews or comments nor am I looking for ignorant political statements. Got plenty of that from both of your ridiculous posts. Cool it out, boys. You should know better.

Wow, thanks Charlie for the incredible amount of time and dedication to this work and the countless others. This recording will make so many people happy for years and years to come. I hope you get everything you hope for in life.
Thanks also to all the people that make this recording available.

Hey oh uh um ah, It's aparent that: A) You have never seen the Grateful Dead. B) We are all getting tired of your repetitious, self absorbing diatribe bullshit. C) That you're too stupid to realize that you are fuckin' it up for everyone else. D) You need to put daddy's gun back where you found it. E) Grow up fool!

Subject: LLR - Pedal Steel
Is that Jerry on pedal steel on LLR? It sure ain't Bob.
LLR is MUCH improved as a country weeper. I never much liked it as a power ballad.

Note that Garcia sings the second China Cat verse twice. The three part harmony in Rider is glorious. When exactly did they disappear?

Subject: A fitting tribute to CM's efforts to date
As the shnid system approached id number 100000, a group of individuals formed an online petition to reserve shnid 100000 for Charlie Miller. With about 800 signatures, the db.etree.org admins obliged and this transfer was given shnid 100000 in honor of Charlie Miller's contribute to the community to date.

What a fitting recording to represent this milestone! This is the most complete circulating version of this show. This board sounds fantastic!

This was my third or fourth show. Went to the Academy run begging my parents to let me stay out late on some school nites! this show is embedded in my brain all these years later. It was my first Dark Star and Mr. Miller has weaved his magic again. Thanks Charlie...Thanks archive!!

...at this point in time. This recording showcases the greatness that is the Grateful Dead. Thanks to Mr. Miller for a beautiful sonic delight.
