Thousands of live Grateful Dead shows are available through the Internet Archive.
The most-downloaded show is RFK stadium 73 (Sunday June 10). I thought it was the one I went to, but now I'm thinking, from this description I found on a message board, that I was there for Sat June 9--it was a hot sunny day, as it says: I went to the show on the 9th where the played befor the A Bros. After dropping acid and running around the hot sun for most of the day, I slept through most of the A Bros. The Dead were OK and except for someone firing off a pepper gas canister in my section of the stadium it was a nice day. At the end of Saturday night we were sitting around watching the crowd leave and at some point someone announced on the PA that if anyone was interested they could come up and get a big garbage bag. If it was returned full you would get a free ticket for Sunday. So thats what we did. It took about 15 minutes to fill a bag and sure enough they handed out tickets. On sunday the Bros went on before the Dead. At The end of their set, half of the audience left the stadium. So what had been a massive audience was reduced to a nice private party for Dead Heads. Either Bob or Jerry commented on it from the stage and invited everyone to come up closer. As you can see by the two days set lists, Sunday was the killer show. Still enjoyable, whichever day it was.
heres stuff from the nuropa institute archive - see harry smith, ginsberg, burrows, charles bernstein lectures etc. btw jim - when i do streaming how do i get it to travel through itunes so it comes up on my airport express amplified through my soundsticks. this is a problem also with streaming from music blogs? just comes through the laptop speakers. the internet radio listening come through just fine over the speakers via itunes. when ever you get a chance to explain id appreciate it.
I guess maybe I should have posted this on the music page. Oh well.
Bill, as of now Apple only supports streaming to the airport express from iTunes. Yes, this sucks. RogueAmoeba has a $25 program called Airfoil that will correct the situation (and let you stream from any application.) I've heard it works as advertised, but I've never used it myself.
I suspect Apple will eventually fix this situation so that any program using the Qucktime underpinnings will be able to do it (so from your web browser, or DVD player, etc...)
thanks, good to know its not just me.
