RkFast Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Dead tunes and 'pleasure' should not be used in the same sentence. Kerry King says hi.

Bill from NYC Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Furthur is pretty damn good. Not a big fan of Bobby but it is as close as you'll get to reliving the Dead (wow, that's deep). John Kadlecik nails Jerry's guitar. But having seen DSO you already knew that. You can stream tonight's show if you're up late. Kadlecik is off the charts great. I have seen Furthur twice (MSG and Jones Beach). They are doing a spring tour in the northeast, and they sold out 8 nights in NYC at the Beacon, 3 in Boston and 1 in Wallingford, Ct. I am going to Ct. and making a weekend out of it. Can't wait!
ajzepp Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I don't know what youtube is doing with their audio lately, but some of these clips - such as that Philly clip from '89 posted on pg 1 - sound REALLY good when you plug some headphones into the computer. I started noticing this when we had the Freddie Mercury thread a while back...some of those clips sounded fantastic!

ajzepp Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I run my computer through my Roland drums then to my headphones. I had to Google Roland drums to know what you were referring to...those are BADASS!!!
Chef Jim Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I had to Google Roland drums to know what you were referring to...those are BADASS!!! I love them!! Best purchase I ever made. And if you think they look good you should here how they sound.
ajzepp Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 I love them!! Best purchase I ever made. And if you think they look good you should here how they sound. Those make me want to pick up the drums again! I've never seen those before...very cool concept!
Chef Jim Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Those make me want to pick up the drums again! I've never seen those before...very cool concept! I didn't own a drum set for over 20 years. I went to Guitar Center and sat at one of those. Holy crap! I was hooked. I now play much better than I did when I was young and played in a band.

Chef Jim Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Well his set is a wimpy and he does play to gay music. Mine is similar to this one. The rig is pretty much the same but the "brains" on this one is a couple generations better than mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jjRdEhCEhI&feature=related

The Poojer Posted January 4, 2012 Author Posted January 4, 2012 i would ballpark a few Jamón ibéricos at least That is really badass...what does a basic set of these gonna set me back? Ballpark?
ajzepp Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 i would ballpark a few Jamón ibéricos at least lol, sounds about right
Chef Jim Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 That is really badass...what does a basic set of these gonna set me back? Ballpark? I think mine was a couple grand but that was 4-5 years ago. Try Craigs List. I had to replace all the clamps on mine. They were plastic and I broke them all. I'm what you call a "power" drummer. LOL

The Poojer Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Check out brents vocals in little red rooster on crimson white and indigo....killer!!
The Poojer Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Damn, I wish they'd dip down to philly for that short tour Kadlecik is off the charts great. I have seen Furthur twice (MSG and Jones Beach). They are doing a spring tour in the northeast, and they sold out 8 nights in NYC at the Beacon, 3 in Boston and 1 in Wallingford, Ct.

The Poojer Posted January 7, 2012 Author Posted January 7, 2012 i downloaded the 72 tour complete recordings......holy crap...i have only listened to a small fraction but day-um....they were in TOP form...i know we have extolled the greatness of the Brent years, but this euro tour was so unbelievably tight, and Donna hadn't learned to f***up the shows yet....WOW..... if you get the chance to get these 72 discs, do it...it's a bit of rock history that won't disappoint.....
