Damn rh67 you know a lot. I thought he had Tiger and Rosebud plugged into an amp behind him that he fiddled with from time to time... or am I mistaken? I only got to see them from 87-93. Those were my years and that’s the amp I’m talking about. |
Didn’t he plug into a Mcintosh amp onstage during those years from 87-93? That’s the setup I’m looking for. |
Thanks jriggy. I will certainly check it out. I really appreciate it :) |
I reported anotherbob for his rude post. We don’t need that crap here. Rule #1: Don’t be a dick. |
@sheps1200 thanks for the link |
This has indeed been a fun and informative discussion. A big thanks and a big hug to everyone who participated. What a long strange trip it’s been :) |
He had one on stage behind him that I think his guitar was plugged into. Was this also a MC2300 ?
|
Oh my favorite was Tiger. |
@He’s my pride and joy. I was so sad after the real Jerry died in ‘95 that it took me about 20 years until I was ready to listen to the bands many live shows on the RELISTEN app and on YouTube. My Grateful Dead years were ‘87-‘93 and I had the pleasure of seeing 21 live shows. I wish I had made it to more. I know 21 isn’t many in the GD community but I was a starving student at the time. I did have the pleasure of seeing their Halloween show in London in 1990 when some friends had an extra ticket and asked me to join them at the last minute... and I had just gotten my first passport for a work opportunity on the Marshall Islands that fell thru. What a long strange trip it’s been :)

@acefactory Almost Every Grateful Dead show is there. Most have many different tapers recordings so you can browse thru and pick the best recording to listen to. More that 10,000 recordings from their 2000+ live shows. Dig in and enjoy, 1977 was a great year for them so I suggest you start there. |
And thanks for that link jayrossi13 |
It’s not that I want to sound like Jerry, I have no illusion of anything like that. Nor do I have the skills. I was just curious of what amp is was behind him that he would adjust from time to time. I’m gonna buy that book that was suggested earlier in this thread when I get back to SF called Grateful Dead Gear.
But I must say, John Mayer sounds very good with Dead & Co. and he takes me back to the good ole days sometimes. |
My pleasure jriggy. This is a “dick-free” zone :)
BTW my 17 y/o cat is named Jerry Garcia.
|
But we have so many good concerts to listen to and watch on YouTube and to listen on RELISTEN. Jerry left us with a wealth of beautiful music and he will forever be remembered. |
|
Good info @snafu. Thanks for your input. |
I think I’ll just keep my Conrad-Johnson amps for now and concentrate on learning to play my guitar. But thanks for all your valuable input and knowledge. |
@justbgunn Great info! Thanks for joining the discussion :))) |
@tomic601 Thanks for the info and the tip on Vice.com |
@roxy4 Neither is a cocaine habit. I just blew thru a lot of $$ since the start of this pandemic that could have bought me some really nice audio gear... a whole McIntosh system for sure. But I finally decided to stop and enter my 7th rehab attempt. I just got home yesterday and I feel so good... like a new man! They finally got the meds I need for my anxiety and depression (and cravings) really dialed in and that has made all the difference.

Hey all… Thanks for all your support with me getting sober and kicking my 10 month daily cocaine habit. I blew through a lot of money but luckily I had a bit saved in the bank so I’m not hurting. And this isn’t my first rodeo. I actually had 14 years clean and sober from ‘89 to ‘03. But I actually started drinking intentionally to get out of a marriage because I did not know how to talk to her... and it worked. But these last 18 years I’ve been in and out of recovery and I’ve been through Kaiser’s rehab five times in the last 13 years. But this last one was just perfect for me and just what I needed... five weeks away and in a group home in Vallejo and I feel so good now. They’ve got my meds dialed in perfectly and I have absolutely zero cravings zero anxiety zero depression. It feels so good to feel so good :-) I know this is a discussion about Jerry’s gear so don’t give me a hard time for getting off topic. I did make it to 21 live shows between 87 and 93 and I was just curious about the amp that he had behind him that he would fiddle with from time to time. I thought he was plugged into a Macintosh amp. But I may be wrong. Half of those shows I went to I was under the influence. The other half I went to I was sober and I learned about the wharf rat meetings during this set break and I went to a lot of those wharf fat meetings. They were very helpful for us trying to stay sober in that environment. I always looked for the yellow balloon to know where the meeting was being held. “What a long strange trip it’s been” |
@cal3713 hey check out He’s Gone from 7/2/89 on YouTube for a great performance of that song. And one of my favorite full length concerts to watch is from 7/10/87... just 2 weeks before I “hopped on the bus”... and after my first show at Anaheim my whole life changed. I had finally found my tribe :) |
