30 Days of Dead

[Caravan2001]

I will always love the version from the 'So Many Roads' box set. Soldier Field '95, no?

Love it... probably bc it was the first version I heard, and one of the first GD ballads I fell in love with and really got me emotionally.

It is the one from Solider Field, though thoroughly edited for commercial consumption (they cut out some of the repeats and aborted attempts in the lyrical delivery).


There is actually a video of the whole thing if you are so inclined to watch it.

I love the version on the box set but always pretty bummed about the edits.  I think that's weak.  Still, I listen to it, but when I have my choice I go for the FOB Schoeps and listen to the actual performance....

Edits are pretty spot on for me. I hadn't seen that video before (thanks!), but had heard the entire performance a couple of times.
Obviously, editing/reduction with the GD is frowned upon, I'm with you that it is weak/bullshit, but Jerry is pretty ill in that video, and who needs to be reminded of that?

Vocally 10/1/94 is superior imo.

Nothing in the 10/1/94 version touches the solo Jerry takes beginning at 1:45 and ending 2:40 at Soldier. To be honest, seeing the video it is stunning he even has the wherewithal to pull that off.

Did they make the edits to fit the disc perhaps?

The edits were made to swap out flubbed vocals/repeated verse....

I've been dl'ing them but haven't listened to any yet. I'm 3/4 of the way through my re-listen of  Summer Tour. I figure I'll binge on these Thanksgiving weekend since I get the whole thing off for once.

[Caravan2001]

Nice. Looking forward to grabbing this when I can get the whole thing at once.  They are always great.

I swear they sneak "Blow Away" in there every year.

2 songs from 1994 this year, a gorgeous Lazy River Road from 7/31/94 yesterday and a smokin' Dupree's from the fall tour earlier in the month.

Thanks, Dave. I was waiting on a link like that.

[Caravan2001]

It's SO good!  They've done it again!  Not to mention, the Estimated from my all time fave show 5/4/77/. Goes to show they have a clean enough copy in the vault to master nicely.  Really hope that comes out as a complete show sometime.  And that Dupree's though!  F-yeah!  Good listening'!
