The Poojer Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 What a great evening. They were brilliant in their decision to record everything and let the fans also record everything. It lets fans enjoy things 50+ years later 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 I wonder what Bob will do once Dead and Co shut it down next year. Continue with Wolf Bros? I am guessing Bill retires or semi-retires given his health issues. Glad you had a good time at the event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I noticed a couple weeks ago that our local cinema was going to show the GD Meetup. I had no idea what it was, so looked it up. It was a pretty cool idea, so I mentioned it to my wife. She reminded me that in the 17 years we've lived in NZ, we haven't met any Deadheads. Any! I'm sure they exist, but not close to the numbers back in the US of A. (They're probably all nice and snug in their Hobbit-holes.) That said, we decided to just stay at home. Pooj... what was it like where you went? How big was the crowd? Was there anything else on offer apart from the concert movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was decent but not packed, Phillies were playing so understandable. It was fun. There was clapping between songs just like a concert. The movie itself was not the full show, but that was fine. The Tivoli show was definitely a fun show, so seeing most of it on the screen was awesome. The camera shots and audio were stellar. It was very much like back in the day when there were simulcast events in theaters. Well worth the night out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0neguy Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Saw it in Albany last night. Not a big crowd (less than half full) but we had a great time. Just watching Jerry play again made the evening. Audio and video were both very good. I believe it’s showing again Saturday at 3:00. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I didn’t go to the meetup, but I did see that set on YouTube, and it’s fantastic. I wanted to make everyone aware that there’s a guy named Cristopher Hazzard on YouTube who compiles and restores Grateful Dead performance videos. He upscales many of them to 4K, allowing you to see the Dead in a clarity and crispness that has never before been possible. There are dozens of videos, often full concerts, spanning the Dead’s entire career. There’s really extraordinary stuff from as far back as 1968. Full shows from peak years like 1974 and 1976, in HD picture quality. Mind blowing, the things technology can do. Below is a link to one I’ve been enjoying a ton the past few days. Click the guy’s name under the video to see all the other stuff he has to offer. If you have a Smart TV, download YouTube onto it and then you can watch these shows on your TV, and they look and sound exquisite on a big HD screen and with a home stereo system. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
