Lyceum '72 - The Complete Recordings

Saving the Big Kahuna for the finale! If you are a fool like me these are still available at dead.net.

Thanks to everyone who followed along & offered comments, favs & reblogs. It was a fun ride & I appreciate the feedback.

I will have to think of another daily project at some point. Perhaps more Dead ephemera or other things in my vinyl collection.

Sunshine Daydream
Rhino Records

What can I say?

I remember some time in the naughts downloading a grainy VHS transfer of the movie. And then a few yrs later going to the theater for Meetup at the Movies and finally seeing an official release in all of its glory. Next day this was up for pre-order and I just knew.

I still have not been able to find Nancy's Yogurt here in New England!

Dark Star from the Legendary Europe 72 Tour
Rhino Records

I cant say I have a favorite Dark Star but this one would be in close contention and this release is what turned me on to it.

If you have checked out my pinned post, the first segment of this version is the opening segment of the 54 hour Majestic Star. I only selected the first and last segments, the others were randomized.

Olympia Theatre Paris 5/3/72
Rhino Records

Nothing quite like the sound of plugging in some electric French bread!

Another complete show box set from a classic Europe 72 performance!

Which Europe 72 show would you like to see get the vinyl box set treatment?

Wembley Empire Pool 4/8/1972
Rhino Records

Cheerios! A full show box set from a classic Europe 72 performance.

They also released the previous night from the same venue as a box set for 2022 Black Friday RSD. I am waiting for the prices to come down a bit on that one!

Europe 72 volume 2
Rhino Records

A pretty cool 4LP compilation that contains a lot of stuff that didn't make the original release including all of the big three jam vehicles... Playing In The Band, Dark Star and The Other One. A great package with awesome cover art, that really captures the look and feel of the original.

Blues For Allah
Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs

Sorry for the glare! The final of the MFSL 2LP 45rpm releases. One of my very favorite albums. I am hoping that this pressing lives up to the hype when I finally crack it open.

What other albums would you like to see MFSL release in 45rpm? For me, I think Wake Of The Flood would be my choice.

From The Mars Hotel
Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs

MFSL had a big controversy recently, when it came to light that most of their output is sourced from digital transfers of the master tapes versus being an all analog path.

I enjoy the tangible experience of vinyl. I don't know if my ears and gear are good enough to tell the difference in source. What do y'all think.
