Video: Inside Look at the Making of July 1978:The Complete Recordings with David Lemieux

Grateful Dead – July 1978:The Complete Recordings

“As an archivist and Dead Head, this boxed set is about as exciting as it gets. Musically, it features five exhilarating, dynamic nights in the summer of 1978. The sound quality is impeccable, as would be expected from Betty Cantor-Jackson’s always-pristine recordings. The rarity of the first three nights, and the hall-of-fame pedigree of the last two, makes this one of the most astonishing Grateful Dead releases ever. Collaborating with the owners of these tapes, we are very pleased to see these important historical documents returned home and now shared with the world.”
– David Lemieux

Umphrey’s McGee Release “From The Vault” Live 10.22.04 featuring Phil Lesh

Umphrey's McGee - From the Vault 10.22.04

From Umphrey’s McGee
“On a crisp October day in 2004, we rolled into the Bay Area for our second show ever at the legendary Great American Music Hall. If you have ever set foot inside those hallowed halls, you understand the “if these walls could talk” feeling that permeates the room. Home to countless legendary performances from Sonny Rollins to the Grateful Dead, the energy is undeniable. Our excitement about that show returns today as we roll out the previously unreleased, re-mastered matrix recording from the vault.

The show featured the debut of “Great American,” with the venue appropriately serving as the song’s namesake. Phil Lesh dropped by and joined in on “Robot World,” as well as the first rendition of “Franklin’s Tower” since 1998. Throw in “Divisions” > “Glory” > “Divisions” and some humorous banter about Blue Öyster Cult and you’ve got classic UM.

This archival release is available exclusively via UMLive.com in a variety of digital formats including lossless options. We’ve pressed a special three-disc set for those of you who like to exercise all your senses. In addition, we’re also reducing pricing on CDs across ALL SHOWS on UMLive.net. Finally, you can subscribe to UMLive.com and automatically have streaming access to this show as well as over a thousand others.

Check out the full set list here and thanks for supporting music. Happy listening!”

Phish Release Reynolds Coliseum 12.16.99

Phish - 12.16.99

From Phish.com
“On 12/16/99 near the end of the road to Big Cypress, Phish played their only show at Reynolds Coliseum, a World War II era basketball arena on the NCSU campus with a concert capacity of about 14,000. Highlights from Set I included Chalk Dust Torture, Limb By Limb, Roggae and Possum. Set II featured some deep-space millennial exploration during Sand and Wading In The Velvet Sea > Tweezer > Runaway Jim. This show showcased the subtlety of communication and breadth of improvisation for which Phish was, by this time, world-renowned.

12/16/99 was recorded by Paul Languedoc to digital multitrack, mixed/mastered by Jon Altschiller. To download the show or to listen via the LivePhish App, visit http://livephi.sh/ph991216.”
