Making up for what I missed: Here's Eyes of The World, Half Step next.

It's very hot and humid. Apologies for the wardrobe malfunction. Enjoy, this was really fun to record.

Princeton? Something else?

I’m chasing edge of breakup tones and may buy a Princeton. Will have a few pedals in front of it but want to mostly rely on the amp for breakup at reasonable volumes.

For a similar price point, would anyone recommend any other amp they’ve liked for the above function? Not Dead specific but I trust y’all’s judgement on this. Open to any thoughts. Thanks!

Second half of Half-Step

Aria Pro II TS-500 (modded) >

SDS-1’s >

500k linear volume pot (I just recently discovered the magic of these) >

Thick Air (set to minimum but it adds a hint of brightness)

Sarno Spectrum (bright switch off) >

KSR PA-100R (Hi-Fi switch on) >

2x12 Orange D-120 >

Sennheiser e906 (flat)

These SDS-1’s are crazy. They have so much character. Mid bite and all that, not harshly bright. And they’re loud af. My Spectrum gain is at about 10:00 and the KSR master is about 9:00. It took me way too long to realize that 70’s Jerry tone = no buffer.

Two miracles for Stanley Jordan Plays the Dead tomorrow night (Sunday, 8/15) in Morristown, NJ

We got these from CoT but friend's plans abruptly changed. Anyone have time to head on out? They're will call so we'd either have to meet or I can ask if the box office will change the name after pickup.

(Mods, I'm sorry if this is against the rules. Figured people here would appreciate the combination of jazz guitarist and GD, plus they're miracles, so I'm not selling anything.)

Amp recommendations. Solid state vs tubes?

What’s the smallest tube amp I can get for Jerry tones? Princeton reverb? Has anyone used the solid state Princeton 112? Or a deluxe 112?

Mississippi Moon

Playing and singing in 3/4 time might be the hardest thing Ive attempted in a while. It’s like learning how play and sing all over again lol

Peter Rowan is a wizard, I’ve been listening to him more than anything else the last few years. And been lucky enough to see him with Sam Grisman Project a handful of times and it was so moving.

3/2/91 has been my goto JGB version of this tune

Do y’all have a favorite?

Abnormal jerry guitar?

I may just be a noob, but does anyone know anything about this guitar, or potentially when or where this picture could have been taken? My guess is late 72 or 73. Would love to know more about where this came from.

Long time no post, little Half Step

Haven’t had much time to practice Dead music as of late but since I already knew this one I figured I’d take a few minutes to record a take and get involved, love that this is still going
