What's your favorite remake of a song
Grateful Dead "Morning Dew"Rolling Stones "Love in Vain" 
HDCD compatible?
Thanks. The cdp I was referring to is the 5 disc marantz vc 6001. Does anyone know specifically what compatible means as it applies to this particular player? The Grateful Dead still release all their vintage live shows in HDCD and that alone is r... 
Sneaky Pete Is Gone - R.I.P.
This guy was to pedal steel what Vassar Clements was to the fiddle. He will be missed. Condolences to his friends and family. 
Best lines in a song
Then she opened up a book of poemsAnd handed it to meWritten by an Italian poetFrom the thirteenth century.And every one of them words rang trueAnd glowed like burnin' coalPourin' off of every pageLike it was written in my soul from me to you,Tang... 
Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?
Audiofeil,The point I'm making is that no matter how good a lyric is and I acknowledge plenty of artists whose voices I can't stand have written great songs, I can't listen to their music. The flip side of the coin is I can't listen to a beautiful...

Slipknot: Kudoes on your post. You waxed very eloquently on the subject. Without Jerry the band is no different than The Doors with the Cult guy. 
Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?
You guys just don't get it. My vocal tastes are my own. I loved joplin, Jagger and Slick and never liked Springsteen. You guys act like our sensibilities have to match up. Mel Torme has no bearing on whether or not I like Old Bob Dylan's voice or ... 
Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?
Ben Campbell: You are partially right. I am adding nothing to this debate regarding Modern Times. Your allegiance and hero worship of Bob Dylan is well-founded but blinds your objectivity. I have never bought a Patricia Barber, Diana Krall or Jaci...

I stopped buying any merch from GDM when the band reversed policy and made archive.org remove soundboard shows for download from their website so that they could sell them instead. This move was unmitigated greed. Even John barlow said as much. "T...

Garebear:That's a good question. Seems they stopped at #36. Go to deadnet.com and shoot them an e-mail with an inquiry. Then post it. I'm curious myself.I just picked up Phil's book and although I don't anticipate the same kinda dirt Rock Scully's... 
Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece?
"Modern Times hit number one in its first week."So did albums by Eminem and Fifty Cent. Justin and Brittney sell lotsa records too. Mass appeal is almost a reverse indicator of quality in America where Budweiser is the king of beers. I saw Bob Dyl... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
The Who, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash and so many artists with audience-perceived integrity have sold their music for use in TV commercials. The 60's were over 40 years ago and the people slamming groups for doing this aren't dropping ac...

Dicks Pick's, Steppin' Out '72, 100 Year Hall, The 4 cd fillmore 71 shows and some other live commercial releases are great, but there was always more pleasure for me in trading for some obscure gem that some taper unearthed than just buying them ... 
Bob Dylan finally makes sense....
I have no data on this, but I would rate Dylan as the most covered song-writer ever. The Byrds and The Band launched their careers off of him. Tom Petty, Johnny Cash , Hendrix, Joan Baez , Peter Paul and Mary all covered his material along with co...

I think they lost an irreplacable part when Pigpen died. I never liked Donna . She was a shrieking over-singer who IMHO was more of a detraction than contribution. Unfortunately Jerry's voice started deteriorating 76-77 so there was a need for voc...
