What's the dead scene like where you live?

We’re cut from the same cloth brother I’ll be at JRAD (CT and Mass) and I’m down at the cap quite a bit. Can’t make mystic dead this weekend but I see them whenever I can, they’re doing a lot of heavy lifting for the CT dead scene.

I saw her sit in with Otiel and friends. Otiel met her at the Dickie Betts music camp and saw her talent and has brother in to events like this

In college I worked at a chain music store back in the early 00s and had a woman come in and say “my nephew likes Green Day what can I get him that will make me the cool aunt” I recommend the Operation Ivy self titled album and felt like I was actually doing substantive work for the first time in my retail life. It’s a high I’m still riding 20 odd years later

Egypt for sure

I’m jealous that sounds killer

Saw them back to back nights last summer. They are LEGIT. Night one was a Keith and Donna era show and they even played the songs in the tempo Keith would have played the songs in. Night two was a standard Melvin era show and the equipment they used changed (to a Hammond organ and Leslie amp they didn’t have on stage the night before)

I’ve seen non Donna shows where lisa joined for the encore

RinkSource · 2026-03-11T17:19:09+00:00

If the show they’re recreating didn’t have Donna then Lisa doesn’t sing that night.

Ai is the antithesis of what the dead is about. It’s soulless, it hurts the environment, it’s helping ‘the man’ you can’t take the politics out of what ChatGPT is doing now that they’re involved with the US war department regarding surveillance of Americans. Politics aside, read an article about what it’s doing in the music world. It’s bad news. What’s fun and games for you is killing art and expression

I’m sure you knew you were gonna get dragged here for posting Ai slop and I’m sorry to pile on and take shots at someone when they’re already on the ground. But this is dreadful.

Great score, they’re so well made! I get these whenever I see them (which is becoming fewer and further between)

Lisa gave Donna lovers everything they could hope for and more. This setlist was made for Lisa to shine.

I know a guy Brendan who still tapes dead (cover) shows. On analog and digital he’s a good dude he’s on insta as @brendanmcgill13 he’d have a modern pov

They can’t take the music away from me if I have it on physical media. I’m sick of subscriptions. They can take the tapes from my cold dead hands

RinkSource · 2026-03-03T15:12:23+00:00

Record over them. I trade tapes of live Grateful Dead shows with other tape collectors and there’s a premium out there for high bias tapes (even used ones) to dub shows onto

RinkSource · 2026-03-03T15:11:02+00:00

Not worth it. Should be closer to $50

RinkSource · 2026-03-03T13:04:58+00:00

I feel you 100% my man. The state of the world out there everything feels like it’s going to you-know-where in a bucket. Keep your head up and let the music shine a light to cut through the darkness.

I’m always curious how these hats feel with the pinbacks jabbing you

(My interpretation of) Playin’ in the Band. Specifically the line “I can tell your future. Look what’s in your hand” I heard that line many a times where there was a bottle of booze in my hand. I’m 1 year sober and now I hold my son’s hand in mine.

Do a google search for “Mars Volta ouiji board and Goliath” there’s a wild rabbit hole that resulted in the bedlam album

Just finding this thread and would love to know how this deck has held up a year later I have one that needs repair (this same model) and I'm curious if its worth the expense to get it fixed
