Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?

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?

Maybe they are talking about Bobby’s Wolf Brothers Live at Red Rocks release, as it is a very very good sounding recording. OR they are referring to Bobby’s TRI Studios which has a state of the art Myer Sound Constellation System. Have a read up on that, it’s way cool stuff! 

Yes, was primarily referring to the wolf brothers live in Colorado. Have a listen. It just strikes me as really really good. Was hoping others may have more details on how that was achieved from an amphitheater that is otherwise tough with regard to sound. Tnx @jriggy !

As @bhvf explained, The Dead have always been obsessed produced recordings good sound, driven by  the obsessions of the Bear and others with the visually impressive Wall of Sound (JBL, EV, & MAC). However, there were recording limitations to their live productions.  To my ears, severe dynamic compression and lack of soundstage depth.  Colorado benefits from more modern recording techniques and is good from both an artistic and production perspective.   However, I hear the thickness of studio processing.  For state of the art live production look to, as some examples, Neil Young live at Massy Hall on Reprise or The Eagles Hell Freezes Over.  Better yet are folk-rock and jazz offerings form Stockfish Records, Proprious, Etc.  These labels are truly state of the art productions removing the vail of studio manipulation with micro dynamics, macro dynamics, clarity, detail, balance, and bass reproduction.   Try Katja Werker Contact Myself on Stockfish to hear state of the art live production.  Weir recording are all well above average productions but not state of the art.  

@jsalerno277 thanks for your input! I'll be sure to have a listen. Figured there was some studio wizardry going on there. It doesn't sound like a live recording.
