I heard an El Paso from 1971 the other day where the tempo was faster than normal and wondered what the process was to file a complaint. Is there a form to download or can I just reach out to Bob directly? I mean who do they think they are that they can just change the tempo to whatever they want? Don't they know that once they play a song at the correct speed that it can't be changed?
Did I mention I'm Greek?

I believe Casey Jones is used as the benchmark.

To add my bit of snark to this. I've never made any or read many complaints about the tempo of any song performed by The Grateful Dead.

I heard Weir say once that his count in is always too fast and he relied on Kreutzman to establish a slower tempo.
Also, possibly a legend, but I heard that that when playing “Beat it On Down The Line”, the number of intro beats was based on the day of the month at some stage during the golden OG GD era.

I know there was one show where they did that for the month and date with a break between. Alas I do not remember the show.Sept 5, 2019 12:53:35 GMT -5 @endless said:I heard Weir say once that his count in is always too fast and he relied on Kreutzman to establish a slower tempo.

One time they did "Fillmore" in Morse code for Bill Graham's birthday.

Someone actually wrote a dissertation discussing the number of intro beats to BIODTL. I can't find it now, probably have it saved somewhere.Sept 5, 2019 12:53:35 GMT -5 @endless said:I heard Weir say once that his count in is always too fast and he relied on Kreutzman to establish a slower tempo.

And the Doors started it all with "Light My Fire". That's one you want when playing Name that Tune!

This one was fun: You can hear Bob and Phil suggesting 22 or something, and Jerry says "It has to be under 20 or the Union won't go for it." So they settle on 19.
Check out the "tuning" track right before BIODTL.
