GD50?

[Heady Jam Fan]

Hey all,

Anyone here interested in GD50? I know people had a lot of mixed feelings about the box set, the cost, how it was marketed. Not interested in that discussion - I still want the music! Anastasio playing the dead? Hell yeah.

I sold my late 80's / early 90's Dead CD collection to pay for the Box Set when the website said only a limited number of box sets would be sold - not other medium. Now I see my box set still hasn't shipped and they have digital downloads. My plan had been to rip the cds and sell the box set anyway. What are you guys going? I just want to listen to it in high quality (the non-official copies floating around out there only sound okay).

I'll look for a download somewhere if I can find one eventually.

The guys at Airshow mastered it, so I'm curious to hear it. They do good work. The mix on the streams was terrible, so I'm hopeful this will be much better. I wasn't super impressed watching the streams, but perhaps my opinion will change after hearing a better mix. Those in attendance say the mix was much better in person and many of them thought the shows were great.

I was at the SC shows and the live audio from night 2 was definitely better than night 1.  You could tell they were working it out on the go.  Still sounded great and those memories will never leave me!

I run a couple of 'underground' music trading 'sites' (calling them their own website is kinda an exaggeration...) but it was orignially created for GD SBD's, so FTW shit will be posted there soon.

I'll get you a link as soon as I find one.

Nice I'd love to have that too, but please make sure to PM them and not post the links here (I'm sure you already know that, just making sure)

Great!

I tried to cancel my order with Dead.net this weekend. Since they missed the deadline (no pun intended) and then posted the digital version after indicating this audio would only be available in box sets, I figured its pretty fair to cancel last minute. I just got an emailing say it shipped, but Fedex doesn't have the box yet, so I emailed them again asking them to cancel the order.

Ah the old bait & switch. Shame on the GD for pulling stunts like that.

Yep! Everywhere I looked, the only info I could find was that if you wanted all the music, you had to buy the box set - it wouldn't be available in other formats or separate CD's. Still haven't heard back from them.

PS - No Nice Guy, do you mean the final edited/mastered versions from Dead.net?

[Heady Jam Fan]

Well. Dead.net said they will not cancel the order once processed - I can return it, but they will not refund the shipping. Wonderful - there goes my excitement about this! Now I have to decide whether to just accept that, or refuse the shipment and argue to get my shipping costs back.

They did that with Spring 1990, Europe 72 box, and May 1977. If you end up disputing the charge and not getting the music I can send you the FTW shows, and the aforementioned boxes

I have '90 and '72 - great albums! I like those late 80's and early 90's ones - jammy and good tone.

You guys have have FTW - is that the final, mastered ones from rhino/dead.net?

Yeah, I got busy with something and forgot to ask on my pages, I just posted to a couple of em.  I was asked not to share the links for them but the 30 Trips box is really quality, amazing mastering.  I'm also happy my favourite show (Lindley Meadows) got a release

It looks like the legit one to me, with the same artwork but anybody could add that. I think it sounds good. The Europe 72' box is their April-May 1972 tour, my favorite era I think. Spotify actually has a bunch of those shows available too interestingly enough.

I always re-uploaded under a different link once I would DL content, you could do that and still be a NiceGuy!
