I bet I'm gonna get flamed but, I own the SACD of Dark Side and, although I'm impressed by the interesting 5.1 mix, the pschedelic meandering jams and mediocre bass playing ruin it for me. Blasphemy of the Holy Grail? (Hey, I never really "got" the Dead back in the 60's either...)

Jay,

I'm with you on this one...always have.

DSOTM is the best example ever of the Engineer (Alan Parsons) being the real star of the show, moreso than the tunes/musicians.

It's a crime that he was passed over for the 5.1 engineer/mixing duties of the MC SACD version...period.

Neither did I. Finally "got it" about 5 years ago.

DMF,

What I mean is that, under certain 60's circumstances that I won't go into here, the Dead sounded like Beethoven. The next morning, however they sounded like..."Pigpen n' Friends!"
Hey, history repeats itself. My son was/is heavily into Phish! LOL!
