Yeah, I was at that show, it was the highlight of a weak run of 6 shows, but if that really is the best GD 1994 had to offer, that says more about 1994 than it does about this show.......just 3 years before, the run of 6 at the Garden was truly worthy of kudos, and indeed a couple of those shows do compare favorably with anything that was played post-hiatus.

Sure, sites such as archive.org, dimeadozen, etc. limit what they make available, and Tol is gone (RIP). There are still tons of shows available for free, or at most the cost of blank media (after all, you can always just transfer to a portable music player, play from your PC or whatever), there are trades to be had, etc. GDM will get some percentage of hard-core collectors who want everything as well as those who are not interested in putting a minimal amount of effort into collecting stuff to buy at their current prices. But with all the Dead material I have already amassed I'm not all that psyched to pay $13 for a single-disc download regardless of whether it is available elsewhere or not. I'd download it for, say, $8 but I'm not going over $10 for something that I then have to transfer to CD and print my own artwork. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 21:38:29 -0700 Subject: Re: *heh* From: Steve Lenier in article di36gn02dfc@news4.newsguy.com, The Lord of Eltingville at tthomas@[REMOVE_TO_REPLY]ogre.net wrote on 10/6/05 5:44 AM: > And, oddly enough, this was on the 11th anniversary of my last show... > > http://www.comics.com/comics/offthemark/archive/offthemark-20051001.html very nice, I like it...the guy in the sunglasses could SO easily be me :) Steve ------------------------------ From: band beyond description <123@456.com> Subject: Re: Miles Davis tribute any rmgd comments?

Yeah I saw Sajak. I just think John Roberts looks a lot more like Quayle. Quayle helped Bush the first lose and now Quayle's evil twin, John Roberts, is out to get revenge on all of Quayles political enemies. And he has decades and a helluva lot of power to do it.

Garcia does a killer solo on El Paso on that video from one of the Europe '72 shows (4-17-72 I think). Why that dvd was never released by the Dead is a mystery. The other Dead dvd mystery is why they didn't put Jack Straw on either the original Dead Ahead video or the just-released dvd of it. That was a prime year for killer Jack Straws so no excuse to skip that song. Fortunately they did include on the just-released dvd the Shakedown from the night before. A late 1980 Shakedown in NY can't be too bad. Bill > -- > Peace, > Steve > ------------------------------ From: band beyond description <123@456.com> Subject: Re: Bushie is a piece of shit...
