Jerry Garcia: Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987
by Doug Collette
The deliciously relaxed air of the music on these three discs belies the precision in the musicianship as much as it does the operations necessary for a two week run on a Broadway theater. And all this attention to detail, well-served as it is, gives the lie to the moment of serendipity from which it sprung:an ...
Grateful Dead: The Best of the Grateful Dead
by Doug Collette
As with so many aspects of the Grateful Dead oeuvre, there's more to The Best of the Grateful Dead than meets the eyes and ears. An embossed cover the glossy likes of which don't usually adorn such compilations, plus the presence of sound arising from brand new remastering done on the bulk of the thirty two ...

Live Concert Streaming's Journey To Success
The Grateful Dead's farewell tour, along with large festivals like Coachella, have been garnering increasingly massive audiences through their live streams.

Grateful Dead: Dave's Picks Volume 14 Academy of Music, New York, NY, 3/26/72
by Doug Collette
There was nothing like a Grateful Dead concert and never more so than in New York, but this one comprising Dave's Picks Volume 14, is an especially significant one: the final night (except for a benefit for the Hell's Angels the very next evening) of a six-night run at the Academy of Music on 3/26/72, taking ...
Progeny - Seven Shows from Seventy-Two
by John Kelman
A sad life truth is that, for far too many people, massive success changes everything. Despite making more money than would last the average family many lifetimes, they go through it like water; they gradually begin to believe all the positive press and massive sales, becoming legends in their own mind; and, perhaps worst of all, ...

The Allman Brothers Band: Live - Beacon Theatre New York City 10-28-14
by Doug Collette
The most stirring moments of the Allman Brothers Band's concert recording from New York City's Beacon Theatre on October 28, 2014 occur near the end of its nearly four-hour performance--not surprisingly, within a rendition of the group's signature instrumental, “Mountain Jam"--that are as emphatic as they are mellifluous. The patient but rabid audience offers instant recognition ...
Grateful Dead: Europe ‘72
by C. Michael Bailey
When asked the best introduction to the Grateful Dead for the uninitiated, I recommend Europe '72. That opinion has not changed in the intervening 40 years. This tour is one storied in the history of the band. It was the group's great bluesman, Ron “Pigpen" McKernan's last tour before he died of drink at the age ...
