"Blues for the World"
A Grateful Dead mix by Rowjimmy
2008-09-01


Daydreaming at work as a boorish meeting wore on, I played myself a mental set of some Grateful Dead.
What I heard (in my head) sounded pretty cool and I thought to recreate it. I took some notes during
the meeting about this possible mix and, immediately afterwards, set to work compiling the material.

Here's a scan of the notes I made during the meeting:

You'll notice that I didn't exactly re-create the entire thing but the groundwork was there.
Now, you can hear the result.

Additional notes:

Thanks to the GDThread @ week4paug.net for their input/seeds/etc...

Some post-processing was applied to individual clips and the mix as a whole to 'tweak' various sonic properties.
If you seek out the specific shows utilized here, they may not sound the same... (which is why I'm not listing db.etree shnids.)

Enjoy.
