I hate how whoever has the rights to the dead's music is so stingy with it though. Only allowing soundboard shows to be streamed and not even allowing commercially released shows to be streamed... They have so much good stuff on there though.
A turntable into a tube amp is a dank setup indeed, I have a tube amp but it is for guitar and that is all I use it with. Well besides keys. 150 records is a solid collection too, I never really got into collecting since I have never had a nice turntable. I prefer the ease of files. I have a PA system set up in my living room though which works pretty well for all my musical needs.
Here is one of my favorite Robinson Brotherhood tracks:
It's just so groovy, their keys player is amazing. As is the Robinson brothers guitar harmonies/ overall playing.

Well in all honesty the Dead have the best soundboard policy of nearly any band ever. Pink Floyd sued people who tried to tape their shows and the Dead encouraged it, which I am forever 'grateful' for. I'll check that out thanks am always looking for new stuff.
edit: PS I like the song. Reminds me of the Allman Brothers almost.
Happiness for me is playing guitar along to my records

indeed, King is awesome. and yikes, yes, dat setup!
i do not have such a setup, but maybe one day.
I got a tekniks-sl1200 turntable for like $300 and the tube amp was $180 I believe, I have a decent home receiver (digital though it don't matter) that it goes into and cambridge speakers with a 10" sub. cost like $800 for all of it and it is AMAZING.
I saw BB king in biloxi mississippi in 2010.. bad show, but it was great to see a legend live.

I wonder if it was mostly Waters who was stingy with their stuff or if the whole band felt that way. At least they have some good quality recordings.
PULSE makes up for it all IMO, some of those early bootleggs are pretty great too. Some are not however 
I just wish they recorded their show with Zsppa better...
Just to warn you that video has an annoying outro right around the 6 minute mark it always gets me 
That setup sounds like it would sound amazing indeed, I have been wanting to look into getting a sub at some point. Then my life would be complete

i find analog can go LOUDER, but other than that, there ain't really a big difference.
but yeah... all that for 800? tis not bad really. like i said, someday i'll make way to getting a nice set up like that. and believe me, i am certainly jealous. i'd love to get some old prog-rock or jazz records on vinyl, it'd just make them sound so damn good. or like some old school Dub records!

I have this:
 which is all kinds of crazy live versions with Syd at the BBC. Bunch of 30 second takes of entire songs and weird crap that sounds amazing.
and a bootleg called 'How shall we sing in a foreign land?' which is a live cover of DSOTM, also amazing.

They have some AWESOME vinyl bootlegs though are typically $$$/hard to find but I buy as much as I can. I've heard Gilmour was quite the businessman as well - Floyd was always stingy with LIVE stuff though - I think they perhaps weren't confident or didn't feel it was 'their sound'.
A great sub is only like $150 - worth saving for 
LOL that '6 minute' part came on and I was like "what the FUCK is that" right while typing this. I liked that song, the keys were awesome - he was running them thru a wah I think, which is cool.

as long as the pre-amp is tube you basically get all the good 'tube-ness' and warmth you might expect. The main amp just amplifies the tube warmth (duh).
my best sounding record is a 200gram release of BOLD AS LOVE in Mono by Hendrix - I don't even like that record much but the quality is just absolutely amazing.

Mhmm that is a nice floyd vinyl, well they both are. I love all their BBC session stuff, some amazing stuff and it is all pretty great quality to boot.
I just checked and I have this one on vinyl too: 
Here are my other favorites I mentioned: 
Here is my all time favorite early floyd bootleg: 
Such a good concert, so unique and crazy...

Haha that's crazy you have it too. You need a turntable!
I've never heard Demons & Wizards. Definitely heard Man & Journey a fair share

Wizards and Demons is pretty great, I love it but it gets a bit cheesy and times. Mainly cus of their singer, but he does a good job on most of it.
Definitely worth a listen if you like classic rock.
I have a turntable but it is a portable one and is not very nice so I never use it When I have more space and $ I will get one one day.
That is funny we both have it, I didn't even realize until I looked through my records to take some pictures it had been awhile.
