Yes, please explain. The Dead always cared about sound so there's some great recordings out there but what specifically about Bobby are you writing about?

Wake Up to Find Out is my most played streaming Dead by a lot. I guess it just sounds more "real" than others. I like Dick's Picks sound on 11, 12, 14, 18 and 19. To me live music should have the rawness that was present when it was played. To touch it up after or even smooth things out during the show by tightening the dynamic range takes the you are there out of watching live music. I might as well sit at home and listen to studio albums. |
@jsalerno277 I found that Katja Werker a few weeks ago. Great recording. I listened to that Vol 2 album Friday night figuring that's what OP was talking about. Sounds great but overly polished. That's the way Bobby likes it and, unfortunately, that's the way he has Dead & Co sound being done. I saw them at Red Rocks in 2021 and was so underwhelmed by the sound that I have little interest in seeing another show there. Maybe it was just the way they wanted it to sound as I've never seen anyone else there. |
