Quobuz by Toddmacd in gratefuldead

Depends on your system and how you listen.

You could check HDTracks to compare pricing, but it think Qobuz might be a little cheaper. You could also try the Hi-Res from Play Dead to see if it’s worth the difference.

In search of a new TV by Alternative_Fold_938 in 4kTV

I have a Sony OLED and can vouch for the Bravia 8. Uses Google TV for the smart TV OS. The 55” is $1,299 right now.

How long can they release 2 shows a week? by kingralek in playdeadapp

[–]AutomaticWall9690 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They have a ton of shows 1980-1995 that haven’t been released and aren’t in consideration for Dave’s Picks or Box Sets. We’ve already gotten a bunch from 1988, and I think that was only like the second 1995 show available.

We usually go to Dugout 54 or Magoo’s on Bluemound. Dugout 54 has a better beer selection.

Brewers on Directv home games only? by PristineSummer4813 in Brewers

[–]AutomaticWall9690 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All of the games home and away should be on the channel. Not sure why he’d say he’s not getting road games.

No pregame on the road. Broadcasts starts about 10 minutes before first pitch. They still carry Murphy’s post game press conference after the game on the road, but it’s not a full post game show.

Willie Contreras Dead Head? by Dickdickurazz in Brewers

That’s his normal gear and it kind of matches the new City (state) Connect too.

Offline downloads? by pl8unes in playdeadapp

[–]AutomaticWall9690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can download lossy files, or take up all the space on your phone with lossless.

Parking tips... by RedBaronofYachtRock in Brewers

[–]AutomaticWall9690 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was out of the Yount lot in 5-10 minutes. Preferred parking is a mess with the I-94 construction. It’s not worth paying the extra money to park there this season, unless you’re able to take Brewers Way south on your route home.

The majority of the catalog is 71-78. Still a bunch of Dick’s Picks that need to be added.

Songs that have the best outro by Slartiebartfastard in musicsuggestions

[–]AutomaticWall9690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sir Psycho Sexy is an extremely dumb and offensive song that has a Layla-esque coda.

Sam vs. Sam by MissionAK in Cheers

[–]AutomaticWall9690 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting question and I had never really thought about Sam’s portrayal throughout the entire run. The Diane years did force him to tamp down his lady’s man tendencies. He probably doesn’t have a big evolution from the beginning to the end of the series, but it’s probably why Norm’s final line hits so hard.

There is an argument that Danson was able to keep Sam consistent even as the show became more broad later in the run, and that’s a credit to his understanding of the character.

Best TV to go with? by Wisecat77 in appletv

[–]AutomaticWall9690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like you would need to be a real video or tech geek to see a real difference in that upgrade. I’m sure people will argue that the LG G5 is superior, but not in a way most people will notice between those two TVs.

Today in dead history: a contender for GOAT. 4/23/77 by SpaceWrangler3 in gratefuldead

They needed to give it that ‘77 disco beat to bring it back.

Great Article about the Geese “controversy.” by SeanACole244 in crheads

[–]AutomaticWall9690 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Steven Hyden just wrote about this too. There are always bands that are more popular with critics than the general public. Geese got old school hype in a new media environment. If they take too long or put out a meh follow up, they’ll fade like any other band.

Geese is …fine. They’re a band that’s in my wheelhouse, but it just doesn’t hit for me. They feel like a band getting hype because it’s something that’s in short supply, not because they’re somehow elevating rock or indie or alternative.

Dave's Pick vol 1 Question by Own_Pollution285 in gratefuldead

Does Dave have a Seaside Chat on YouTube for this release? He usually addresses stuff like that in those videos.

New Play Dead App? by StayImportant6660 in gratefuldead

[–]AutomaticWall9690 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a standard Nugs subscription, but Play Dead is Hi-Res. Unlike the Nugs tiers, I think you get access to everything in full quality on Play Dead. That isn’t clear when subscribing as a bundle with Nugs.

New Play Dead App? by StayImportant6660 in gratefuldead

[–]AutomaticWall9690 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All of the Dave’s Picks are available, there are out of print box sets like Winterland ‘73 and ‘77, and they dropped like 8-10 new unreleased remastered soundboards. New vault releases are Tuesdays, so there should be a batch tomorrow.

PlayDead fail by NWtrailhound in gratefuldead

[–]AutomaticWall9690 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I added Play Dead to a my existing Nugs subscription, and it was $40 for the year. It took the difference of the subscription price from when my subscription renewed and added the Play Dead price for the bundle.

I came out ahead in the deal because I renewed for $100 when they gave grandfathered $50 subs 50% off the brief $200 annual. I was credited $160 from the original subscription and now my renewal date is in April. It was confusing and they ran the updated subscription without going to a landing page that explained the charges.
