Re: Avalon Ballroom 1969 |
Cliff-yep, great stuff. An odd note: when I signed my daughter up to download from URGE music (ipod), these three concerts were listed. I downloaded them during the free trial period--though I have since upgraded to lossless (like my ears can tell at 65mph.).
Odd, huh?

Re: Avalon Ballroom 1969 |
It hurts to realize that these shows could be available in 16-track glory instead of the moderately degraded copies making the rounds. Isn't it great how the commercial releases have taken off since Rhino took over?

Re: Avalon Ballroom 1969 |
Has Cliff ever looked up superfluous in the dictionary? Or are these shows indeed superfluous?

Re: Avalon Ballroom 1969 |
Cliff thinks Pigpen is indeed over the top during this three night stand, but perhaps Lou can suggest a more appropriate adjective?
Lou, please re-post the thread on New Potato Caboose that you posted while Cliff was in Alaska. It certainly deserves some more attention (it was immediately pushed down by some nonsense as Cliff recalls?).

Re: Avalon Ballroom 1969 |
Just a quick check into to say that I love the Avalon. I do love 10-12-68 & 10-13-68 a tad more than this January run, but still, this one is great. The various runs of 68 and 69, as well as 70 are so nice...I suppose the 70s and 80s era folks say the same thing about their beloved strings at Winterland or wherever, but gotta love this multiple night stand approach by the boys.

Cliff
I am never going to get to those post 93 shows at this rate.
I really like the Doing that rag.
How would you like to be the guy who pulled the plug on a dead set?
