"It bothers me that the Dick's Picks releases do not include full shows."
Out of 36 volumes of Dicks Picks there are only a few that are not complete full shows... OR are you saying, you wish they were "un-cut", meaning still having the sometimes long breaks and tuning between the songs? I love that on the un-cut boards that are out there.

jond,
Not to get picky here or miss your "generalizing", but --and info for those that may not know-- a matrix recording (AUD and SDB mixed to varying percentages) does much more than just adds crowd noise. A good well done matrix can compleatly change the sound and feel of a show recording.

rbbert,
I kind of agree, as there is magic to be heard in every single Dead show [release] (to keep it with the thread subject)... Personally I am generally a 'one set at a time' listener but often just choose a run of songs to play at a time.


I want to whole "experience", warts and all.
I love the long breaks and tunings between songs.
"The Pizza Tapes", although not sure if you now call it a "boot". Cheers,
Spencer

Mars Hotel, American Beauty, Wake of the Flood, Reckoning.  Just finally found a clean copy of JG: Reflections. I will be playing that soon. American Beauty on early Green label WB sounds exceptional. The Dick's Pick have been available for a while, but I have not heard much feedback on pressing/sound...?
