I get that you're being half-serious, but I far prefer live concert archival recordings on cd to vinyl. All of the pauses to change sides necessitated by the format restrictions alter the flow of the performance detrimentally. I suppose if you have two turntables you could make it work, but that seems like an awful lot of effort.
All of these 73 shows have circulated for years, and mostly in excellent quality, with 5/13 and 6/9 not as pristine quality but still good enough, and this part of 73 is not my favorite. Give me Nov/Dec, and some of the later summer shows, many of which are already released. No way I’m shelling out for this massive box. 5/20 and 5/26 and 6/9 are what I would consider below average for 1973. Only 5/13 and 6/10 have anything special for me, so again this new box is not for me because of the price and because I’m not a completist.
The older I get the more the idea of listening to album sides is both relaxing and appealing. CDs and full length shows get played in the car or boat but if I'm gonna sit down and listen, nine times out of ten I'll listen to vinyl, including GD shows. The recent Lyceum box is a home run of a listen. But really I'm down for hi res files, cd releases and vinyl, there's room for everything
The 6/10 show alone is 8 LPs, no thanks. The physical media I buy is almost always vinyl these days, but like Dave, not for 3 or 4 hour shows.
The RFK show is enticing, but I wonder if the "speed correction" also corrects for the clearly out-of-tune instruments in tunes like "Eyes". That's such a great show but the tuning issues are kind of a drag. Would love to know whether the "speed correction" fixes all the issues.
I like a good china rider as much as the next person but five in this set and two in the latest daves (bonus disc) and a little diversity would be nice. As rocky as the 90s were, at least they mixed it up.
