12-31-76. Due out jan 15.

Comments? I think they could have offered up something a little more interesting for the first release. But, at least they are starting.

Both the 1971 and 72 New Years shows without the KSAN DJs talking over the music would be better choices. The Neville/Dead encores from 87 aren't included on the GDM release either. "It was Phil, I believe, who once said that part of the thing with Jerry and drugs is that he just didn't like to be told what was good for him and what wasn't... and fairly enjoyed giving the finger to the rest of the world when it came to things that he wanted to put into his own body." I heard that Jerry once tried to beat the hell out of John Perry Barlow while he was wasted on junk. Brent was on the road for 11 years solid. His wife had two daughters and got tired of the constant tours. She split and Brent went from drinking a little booze to using hard drugs. Killed himself with goof balls if I remember right. Anyone who sees that 89 Summer solstice video can watch Mydland leave Shoreline early. The crew has to chase him down in the parking lot between the second set and the encore...

cousinkix1953:
Actually, Jerry didn't "kick the shit out of Barlow." Upon hearing Barlow's plea, Jerry said nothin', got up from the couch, walked down a corridor to his room, hung a sign on his door that read "Do Not Disturb" and shut the door behind him. I am out of town at the moment otherwise I'd get the source of that quote for you.
My Love for Jerry continues to grow...to think about what he carried around inside that Heart of his combined with a superior intellect and serving the Muse.....full of Grace. --- AshesRising

I can--MOST unfortunately--synpathize & empathize with Jerry & Brent's drug use. Being an active junkie affects just about EVERYTHING in your life. For them, being dope sick would've affected their performances pretty terribly. When you're dope sick, every minute feels like an hour, every hour feels like a day, and every day feels like a week. Getting "well" is ALL you think about. If I was sick & knew I had "medicine" in my dressing room, tour bus, or back in my hotel room, then leaving stage to fix-up IS justified in your mind. We all have our demons/vices though, whether it's smack, crack, crank, coke, twinkies, TV, or GOD. Jerry & Brent ARE sorely missed by us all, so is it really important to speculate--which is what we're all doing here--what drugs ANY of the band were on while performing? Wasted typing as far as I'm concerned. Besides, I THINK this was supposed to be about RHINO's 1st "new" release???
Can I get an AMEN on NO MORE FUCKING COMPILATIONS!!! I DO NOT WANT highlights of shows, or specific tours, or specific years. Take ONE show, or a run at a specific venue & RELEASE ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE for that show or run. I realize that not every show has surviving tapes, that maybe only one set is available, or that there are songs missing from the reels---whatever. If 12/31/76 is released & a song that was performed IS NOT on the CD's, then it needs to be listed in the notes as to WHY it is not included. Also, if there are songs included as filler or "bonus" songs, then these songs need to be THE ONLY surviving material from whatever show they are from, and this ALSO needs to be included in the notes. The notes shown for "The Houseboat Tapes" DP is a perfect example. Anyway, I guess it's great that they are finally getting around to the releases. It has been more than a year since the last DP, and at least 8 months since the last download.
Personally, I want box sets from Winterland runs from '71 - '74--2/22-23-24/74 , or Dec '72 for example. Remember this, it's ALL in how the music makes YOU "feel"...

Whatever we say, and however we say, it's not in spite or in hate. The fact that we had a great deal of love for Jerry that continues to this day overrides most any criticism of his lifestyle, onstage or off. For whatever reason, Heroin played a role in the shortened life of Garcia, Brent, Keith and John Kahn.

There's no denying that life around the band was like living in a drug soup, which made it all the more difficult for any kind of meaningful intervention, without having the hypocritical finger pointed. There's also no denying that the quality of the music, at minimum, was altered when the drug of choice changed. It's been well documented in writing, but the best examples of how it changed the music is right here for the listening. Or, if you like, you can go to youtube and see the visual representation of the Grateful Dead by comparing 1977 to 1994 and the pitiful sight of Garcia standing dead still and fumbling to achieve what once came so naturally. (Hornsby's view on this is both neutral, from a relative outsider's standpoint and quite sad, as told in the Goodrich book.)

Obviously, it can't all be blamed on heroin use alone, but the fact of the matter is that Garcia cared very little for the vehicle we call a body. Thirty years of wear and tear from the road and a lifestyle free from healthy maintenance were certainly more than enough to effect the performance of any person, musician or not.

For me, and in genaral terms, the arrival of heroin on the scene marks the decline in the quality of the music that the band was capable of producing. Evrything that lead up to the Spring of 1977 began a long process of erosion starting that fall. At first, not significantly noticable, but by 81 and 82 the consistancy had taken a hit. All you need to do is listen.

Not before Christmas?? Who's gonna have $30 after Christmas?
But seriously, I agree - at least they are trying, and it is a classic show, if not, as we all know, maybe the TOP show of 1976 (do I hear July 18th somebody, can I get a witness?)
Haven't pulled out my copy for awhile, but as I recall the Playin is stupendous (I love that word, meaning: to induce stupor, ha ha). And the Help>Slipknot in Set Two is very strong. I hope they give us the missing (SBD) encores!!!

Interesting that this New Year's is more exciting in many spots - than the released 12/31/78 at Winterland, which I like, but find a bit boring overall.
Still, I'm like you - this is a bit disappointing, maybe a B- effort. Would have liked to see a Box Set, or at least more from the older days. They have barely touched 1968, or 1970 for that matter.
However, a cool booklet for 12/31/76 would be nice. At least the Wheel is turning again!! No complaints.

I'm kinda sorry they didn't go further with the DPs Academy of Music set--maybe the tapes aren't all there? But 1-31--"The Same Thing," the phenominal breakneck jamming in NFA--GDTRFB--NFA--good stuff.

You need to go back and listen Pat. Preferences aside, 4.5 hours of Wall of Sound and unparalled experimentation vs. 1.5 hours of the Heroin years? Half hour Dark Stars going into even MORE epic music like Morning Dew vs. Don't Need Love and Gimme Some Lovin? I don't get it.

No offense, I like something from ALL era's and we all have our preferences and there's nothing wrong with that. I just don't see how you can deny their greatest musical peaks, ALL of which, with the exception of 87-91, occurred BEFORE the time frame you listed.

See, I disagree completely with the "unparalleled experimentation" idea. Aside from the really weird 60s stuff, their most experimental stuff happened with the onset of better technology etc. Keep in mind that length doesnt equal quality. Most 70s jams are so much noodling. Your whole post is a little contradictory (stressing the importance of subjectivity in enjoyment while simultaneously definitively labelling one era as the objective best), but that's OK. There are no real rules here. Now, did you really think I had Gimme Some Lovin in mind when I wrote my post??

Forum: GratefulDead Subject: Re: rhino release

Pat,

I agree that w/the advent of new tech. and such, they tried to experiment w/diff. sounds (midis, reverb, space-related bells &whistles, etc.) and maybe they even tried to expand on some songs that had more limited jams in the 70's (compare any '77 Cassidy to an '81 or '84 or '91 and that bears out--the song was shorter and less daring in its jamming in the '70's)...

BUT I think the point is that as much as they tried to branch out in the post-Keith years there was (IMO) an almost undeniable drop-off in their execution, and abilities.

Jerry sure never sounded as good vocally in the '80's as he did in the 70's...the jamming was actually more focused (listen to a '73 Here Comes Sunshine or the Eyes'StrongerThanDirt jams or Let it Grow and it's jazzier, more like what a well-trained musician would play)...

They lost the ease and flow and sheer grooviness of a year like '77 for a more isolated approach in the 80's--each player more into his "own thing" during a song, which is why a lot of the problems they had in the 80's were a kind of choppiness to the playing...they did not sound as in synch w/each other and as a result you'd get a lot of uneven shows...some sparks of brilliance but a lot of plodding fodder in between marked by off-notes, croaky vocals, forgotten lyrics, and a sound that often resulted in what John Stewart once said was "6 guys playing a completely different song all at the same time."

Look, it IS all subjective ultimately, and I know you can point to numerous 80's shows that are legendary and deservedly so--10-12-84 right off the top of my head) but I would urge you to go back and listen to as many '77 shows, 72 and '73 and even some '74 shows and really judge the quality of the execution of their playing as opposed to a show from '85 or '87, or '88, ('89 was a comeback of sorts) and see if your opinion doesn't change slightly.

If not, hey, that's what makes horse races.

With you Johnny. 72, 73, 74, 76, 77 all hands down musically superior to anything after.

The peak of the writing IMO was with Wake of the Flood, still some ching-ching for Mars, Terrapin and Allah, but it's hard to argue against Weather Report, Eyes, Sunshine and Stella as the core in any setlist.

Europe 72 and Spring 77 runs would never be duplicated for hotter than hot play, and even poor Donna found her voice on that spring run. Once the band played themselves out of ballrooms, halls and theatres, it all changed. Even the drug of choice.

Now if one PREFERS Coke then that is their opinion and personal preference just as yours is that everything before 78 is musically inferior : P

Then there are those who prefer Pepsi. Look--it's all subjective. What makes this fun is that there are those who deeply enjoy different periods of an evolving entity's life cycle--some who enjoy the whole shebang. I suspect that many of us are biased by age and exposure. The Dead were THE soundtrack to the sixties/early seventies--the acid times. This is my Dead--1967-1972, maybe 1973. Watching a group play alters one's perspective, and watching a supernova begin to explode--something not to be missed. Imagine seeing, as I did, the original five piece group in a basement with maybe 100 people jammed into the place. Intimate and loud. And the early Dark Stars were what worked for us.

Still, I doubt they would have lasted thirty years if they had nothing left to say . . . .

Those years for me were primarily 89-91 which I think the recordings justify what I felt at the time - those years were HOT. Having said that, I have ALLWAYS thought 72-77 ( esp 72-74 ) were the band at their peak.

So it's not necessarily what I would have picked, but I'll buy it. A complete show, too. I think they're listening. Also, a '76 (and '77 too, I guess) release plugs a gap in the vault release chronology. Looking at the list below, this plugs the main gap in the Pigpen/ Keith years. The Views from the Vault would fall into the later '80's, but are not multi-track. To top it off, much of the early-80's stuff just isn't in the vault. Some '73, if it exists, would be grand, but I think they're doing pretty well.

1966- Rare Cuts and Oddities
1968- Two From the Vault
1969- Fillmore East, Fillmore West Set
1971- Ladies and Gentlemen
1972- Steppin' Out, Hundred Year Hall, Rockin' the Rhein
1974- GD Movie Soundtrack
1975- One From The Vault
1976/7- (Whatever they're going to call it)
1978/9- Closing of Winterland
1980- Go To Nassau
1989- Nightfall of Diamonds
1990- Dozin' At The Knick

Killer Let it Grows? Mighty fine Cosmic Charlies? High Time was probably played the most beautiful they EVER did it that year. Also, to my ears that is the ONLY year they ever did justice to the intro to Crazy Fingers.Sure there were some slower than normal moments probably due to the reintroduction of Mickey but I still say 76 had some great moments. I'm not saying it's their best year but I certainly think it gets overshadowed by 77 so is basically unjustly ignored.

If you don't dig the sound then that's a matter of your personal preference and opinion.

Go visit some mid 80's and late 90's and tell me Jerry is too fucked up in 76. Good lord man! Do you see Jerry dancing smiling and MOVING on stage in 76? You know, actually getting into it and putting forth obvious effort.What was he doing when he was REALLY too F'd up?

And there's a big difference between coke and Heroin. Not saying they're not both bad but take it into perspective. Jerry was obviously often a Coke Head as was just about half the freakin country in those years. Considering the stuff they did while using that drug I personally think it was no where near the hinderance to the music as the other.

hmmm, strange how subjective art can be at times huh? I can understand what you're saying as not liking the slower tempos, or why some people prefer different tones to tohers ( which Jerry AND Bob were known to changes tones and axes from year to year ) but I don't see why Jerry is singled out here. In my opinion the slowness is out of being DELIBERATE and it's because of an extra drummer being reintroduced to the band.Preferences aside I can't see how you can say 76 has nothing to offer.

One question: have you ever listened to ANY of those shows I mentioned? Or are you basing this soley off of that 6-29-76 Chicago show that is in wide circulation?

'71 and '76 are my favorite GD years. Drugs, or no drugs those years are great. '71 shows are tight arraingments w/ a bluesy feel and the band really playing like they had something to prove!

'76 is just THE most layed-back listenable year in the GD stable. A year of re-discovery. After '72-'74 the band was burnt-out and came back in '76 with a sound that made the band members excited.

If the members of this band were clean and sober for 30 years, there would be no exspansive catalogue which showcases the ever-evolving sound of GD. I try to find a way to enjoy it all. Good, Bad and Ugly. Without the spirit of experimentation(drugs and music)this band is 3 Dod Night. Ick!

I never argued your preferences, just your blanket they sucked in those years statements that I think you are misguided on. I think that Sugar MAg>U.S. blues sounds more like 74. You never answered my question on those shows so I will assume you have heard them and still think they're too slow but my true instinct tells me you formed your opinion and haven't heard them.

as far as those shows go from 76 cant recall if i have heard them cause i haven't listened too much to that year so it really dont matter anyway . i have heard other shows from 76 and just too mellow at most times .

I'll certainly second your notion of 87-90, those are a few of my favorite years as well. but not to beg the discussion.... chinadoll>gdtrfb>dew was not always exactly "rockin" - so will assume that you truly enjoy the "sound" of jer's guitar better during those years as opposed to 76. 76 was certainly a jazzier tone.

your preference there would certainly be "fair enough"

Fucked up or not I don't like the heavy handed approach to a lot of his synthesizer sound but that's MY preference and it isn't meant to degrade him as a musician and certainly not a person.

Without a doubt drugs were part of what made the Dead the Dead.

That's very un-PC to say these days but it was a reality of the band's sound and part of what made them sound the way they did and write and create and jam the way they did. For sometimes good and sometimes bad. (Most times phenomenal.)

It was Phil, I believe, who once said that part of the thing with Jerry and drugs is that he just didn't like to be told what was good for him and what wasn't... and fairly enjoyed giving the finger to the rest of the world when it came to things that he wanted to put into his own body.

Obviously, he paid a price for that in the end, but I guarantee you none of us would be here passionately debating and discussing the nuances of their music had the band decided to go all clean and squeaky and write songs just to make the pop charts.

Different drugs were a part of every different Dead era and very much a part of their identity. As the late great Bill Hicks would remind you, when it came to legendary songs that pass the test of time and a LOT of the people who created them: "Reeaaaaal high on drugs."

Didn't take your "stupid" comment seriously; hope no offense was taken. Quite the opposite.

oh yeah they talk about it all the time. In fact there's one story by Owsley or one of them where they/he claims they were able to play louder than any other time. Some sort of experiment thing. Sounded a lot better when he explained it, sounds like a Spinal Tap scene when I describe it ( " this one goes to eleven" ).

Anways, they were doing methadrine or some sort of SPEED when they recorded the first album. Wonder what Fishead thinks of that?

no way they could play on DMT - totally disorienting with nothing of the visual world left - total physical catatonia - especially if they "broke through" - would have loved to have tried that in my old days - but ive heard it can be extremely horrifying. for the first 5-20 minutes - many many many times more powerful than LSD - read some of the trip reports on erowid.org (or com) - mindblowing descriptions and a total shock to the brain beyond anything lsd could do

No racism or hatred on this site, we're pretty PC. BUT, when it comes to drugs, well the "PC-ness" drops like a rock.

We've all seen the darkside of drugs. The isolation. But here at LMA, we're talking about drugs in the context of gatherings. The whole idea that your brother was there to talk you down, if necessary. Experimentation in a safe environment can be a very positive experience. Clearly a not-so PC point-of-view.

Drugs are bad for many of people for a many reasons, we ALL agree. SO, it stands to reason, drugs are good for many of people for coutless reasons.

Each day there are well-rounded, intelligent folks here at LMA forum. Together we have consumed more than our share. BUT, here we are...reading, writing, debating....breathing.

I am who I am. Drugs were a part of creating this personality. No complaints...

Dear boys, let us remember that there is partying and then there was smack. It only took about a year after '77 before it started showing it's ugly head and held it's "sway" on the music we love best. While Jerry was mellowing way out, the rest of the band discovered coke...and I for one think the effect of those crossed signals had audible effects.

In retrospect, '79 looks like (and sounds like) the beginning of the end. It's all documented right here, all you got to do is listen. Sure there was a revival of sorts with Brent, but the Persian got him too. Fact is, he was probably the best all around keyboard player the band ever had, but got on the bus after it had already started rolling down the hill.

dude , you ok?? like we were talkin about 1976 and how jerry sounded /sounds to me . you can disagree all you want . it aint about anti-drug talk . its about the effects the coke had on him in 1976 (imo) that made him way too mellow along with the rest of the band cause jerry was the leader and the band went as jerry went ..he was the conductor.they all followed jerry's lead. was it gonna be a mellow show or an upbeat show . to me 1976 is way too mellow .
like i said before vitamin a-not coke /i dont like coke....not that it matters what if jerry hadnt done coke or heroin -ya think he still be around today ??? of course so obviuosly some drugs are bad bad bad bad bad..but i dont preach ..its up to the individual and jerry unfortunatly couldnt stop ....

yeah I'm perfectly ok " DUDE". You're talking TWO different things there pal. First you don't like 76, ok I get it. Second you were there, as a close personal friend of Jerry's and the band and you know exactly what drugs and other factors contributed to the bands sound. You also know that all the band members followed everything Jerry said and did right? That's pretty much what you said. The fact that you don't like 76 is your opinion, your personal tastes, etc. " sometimes the songs that we hear are just songs of our own" right? But your argument that the band was slow in 76 soley based on Jerry doing coke is in my opinion ridiculous. What, you don't think he was doing coke in the Brent years?

This whole argument is souding dumber and dumber to me so I can only imagine what others probably think about it.
