Dick’s Picks Volume 26 2-CD Set from both the Electric Theater in Chicago (4/26), and the Labor Temple in Minneapolis (4/27) in 1969. In my personal opinion and also the opinion of many others… This 2 CD release offers Out of This World!!! In both of these Spring’69 Shows the performances are downright aggressive almost vicious! , creative / fresh, and the heavy jamming & song-segue transitions neatly demonstrate the early signs that this was simply a band like no other. I’ve often joked that there’s a small chance that these Shows might very well be the Very-First GREAT!!! Two (2) truly Magnificent! ” time-capsules ” of The Grateful Dead at their early (and arguably) 1st ” Best “. In sharing my personal opinion that this release is (believe it or not) a true candidate for ” Top Five (5) Dick’s Picks ” of the 36 in the Series! Naturally, of course depending on your ear-for-era and personal favorite time-periods & tours – but the powerful nature of this release can simply not be denied. And to think that sheer’69 G. Like this happened on 2-straight nights in 2 different mid-west cities! ? ! I think I want this whole’69 Spring Tour released… The more I think about. Garcia’s Gibson-tone is just flat out raunchy & awesome! Phil pushes the time-structure & jamming pockets like there is no tomorrow – consistently challenging Garcia, who openly welcomes it. Presence & sound-tones of the equipment seem to be ” just-right “, nearly perfect – really. & Mickey ravage the drums with near-perfection – as tempos change, and the band takes some big transitional-chances here – while both of them never even drop a beat. The China Cat > Doin’ That Rag > Cryptical > Other One > It’s a Sin are absolutely mind-blowing, and the Lovelight > Me & My Uncle > Sitting On Top of the World offers brilliant segue-transitions that will likely deliver chills up your spine. Oh, and here’s what Disc 2 has to say about that : Dark Star > St. Stephen > Eleven > Lovelight > Dew!!!!! If you haven’t heard this one, you really need to. And if you don’t already own this one in your collection? – then you might really want to consider doing so – seriously. This release is a flat-out Heater! Where our beloved Grateful Dead have just realized that they really-are-actually ” Just That Good “, and they show it all-night-long here – twice! – in April’69 for some so very fortunate Chicago & Minneapolis crowds. Some truly unreal musicianship is offered here – most definitely. And Thank You Dick for This-One!!!

At the Winterland Arena! – in San Francisco!! 2008 (1978/2008) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino (GDP / Rhino) : Red-Hot!! Previously unissued Grateful Dead’ Live’ recordings from the October 1978 From Egypt with Love! Bay Area ” Return ” from Egypt’78!!! October 17 & 21, 1978!!!!! Road Trips ” Winterland ” Bonus Disc CD!!! Billed at the time & commonly referred to as the From Egypt with Love! Shows, this Road Trips Bonus Disc CD captures the Band on 10/17/1978 & 10/21/1978 at the Winterland arena in San Francisco during a 5-night’ Homecoming’ from the amazing & surreal experience of playing 3-nights in front of the Pyramids & Sphinx at the Gizah Sound & Light Theater in Cairo, Egypt. This was a fine chance & occasion for the band members to collectively spread the magic that they experienced on that monumental journey. As it also stands, this would be one of the final runs / stands of the Grateful Dead playing the Fan (& Band) favorite Winterland Arena on their Bay Area home-turf. This Bonus Disc CD features tracks from both 10/17/78 & 10/21/78 and is simply fantastic — truly one of the very-finest Road Trips Series’ Bonus Disc’ releases. There is clearly ” love in the air “, and the synergy between the Fans & the Band is captured beautifully in this audio-mix. From a personal standpoint, this is one (if not’ the’) Road Trips Series releases I was most excited to receive when I heard it would be released back in 2008. Not only beautiful & well-played tunes from this Late-’70’s G. ” Era ” like Bertha > Good Lovin’ – Estimated Prophet – He’s Gone – and Around & Around… But this one also features a Mesmerizing! & Historic ” Special-Treat ” in the form of ” If I Had The World To Give “!!! There are many moments on this release that border / equal music perfection – at least to my humble Grateful Dead ears. This is without question a Must-Hear & Must-Have, in my opinion. The He’s Gone here will just make your spine tingle, and Had the World to Give? !! Well, here’s my super-short personal story : I was listening to this song on my 10/17/78 analog tape through the head-phones – naturally… At just before midnight on 8/8/95. After the tune, I hung’em up, turned off the tape-deck and went to bed. The next morning my better half called me letting me know that Jerry had passed. So, even though it can sometimes be a bit tough to hear for me – every today, decades later… I’m all the more grateful to own this legendary live-track in pristine A + quality. Included beautifully on this Bonus Disc, and is a must -hear / must-have, no question. And one of the Finest! Grateful Dead Road Tips Series’ Bonus Disc’ Rarity releases.

(GDP) – GDCD 4051 : Original! 2004 release Not the 2012 Re-Issue / Re-Print! : 4 CD Set : Very-Rare!!! 4-CD Set >>>> Dick’s Picks 31 from 1974!!! Philadelphia Civic Center – Philadelphia, PA (8/4-5/1974) – and – Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, NJ (8/6/1974) : Wall of Sound!!!!!!! Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. As it appears 1974 Grateful Dead is indeed fresh on the menu these days – and appears to be right back in Style as if it ever left! As the recent-fashion of the day. A few of the newer releases from the G. Vault are fine performances from 1974 :’74 Dillon Stadium (Hartford, CT) release (DP # 2) –’74 Cap Centre (Landover, MD) – (DP 2012 Bonus Disc) — and’74 University of Montana – Missoula, MT (DP # 9)!!! And, as we already well know, these were the final glorious days of the monstrous & beautifully sounding ” Wall of Sound ” – the massive, and downright-genius Sound System of The Grateful Dead in 1974! It debuted in February’74, and delivered a pristine & unmatched live concert for Grateful Dead Fans like no other. Unfortunately, as the documented stories & proof goes – this beast of a system took a toll on the inner-Grateful Dead Family, both Band & Road Crew too! As fine as it sounded it became a physical, logistical & large financial drain on our heroes yes, you too ” Road Crew ” are our heroes as well – as hopefully you already knew! This system was one of many factors that lead to the darn-near disbanding of the band during the ” hiatus ” period at the end of 1974, following the October Winterland run. Eleven (11) separate Channels! So with that – I’ll inform you of the specific details of how the ” Wall ” does more than its fair-share on this treasure of a G. Disc 1 offers a simply Must hear Playin’, Scarlet & China Rider!!! Wow & that’s just CD 1! ? ! Disc 2 would probably pride itself on the Weather Report > Jam! > Wharf Rat where band communication gets nice & spacey just how we like it! Disc 3 & 4 really duke it out for the top stop, and here’s how : CD Three delivers a He’s Gone > Truckin’ > Jam! > Other One Jam! > Space > Stella Blue that may be some of the finest musical notes & interplay that ever came out of the ” Wall “. Then, if that’s not enough Dead-for-Your-Head, then Disc 4 answers with this, and simply this : Eyes > Playin’ > Scarlet > Playin’ & Uncle John’s Band. So, as it pretty much goes without saying — this release is a Must-hear… & Must-own too for any serious fan who prides themselves on owning every professional release that captures those moments when the band is at their best. Hey up there Dick! Thanks for springing this one on us, yet another hidden-gem from that gold-mine vault of treasures that we never knew existed. Are the absolute-best at these surprises & for that we Thank-You! & are Forever Grateful!! I mean dig-in & Enjoy!!! Blues Sugar Magnolia Casey Jones CD 3 : Mississippi Hefl-Step Uptown Toodeloo > It Must Have Been The Roses Big River He’s Gone > Truckin’ > Jam > Other One Jam > Space > Stella Blue One More Saturday Night CD 4 : Eyes Of The World Playing In The Band > Scarlet Begonias > Playing In The Band Uncle John’s Band. Item Condition : This Very-Rare!! 2004 GDP release (GDCD 4051) Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks 31 (8/4-5/1974 Philadelphia Civic Center – Philadelphia, PA & 8/6/1974 Roosevelt Stadium – Jersey City, NJ) 4-CD Set is in Good/Very Good condition – close to Very Good overall.

Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks 21 Volume Twenty One Richmond Virginia 11/1/85 3 CD
Grateful Dead : Dick’s Picks 21 Volume Twenty One : November 11, 1985 (11/1/85 : 11/1/1985) – Richmond Coliseum – Richmond, Virginia (VA)!!! + September 2, 1980 (9/2/1980) – Community War Memorial – Rochester, New York (NY)… 2001 (1980/1985/2001) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. (GDP) – GDCD 4041 -‘ Original! Grateful Dead 1985 Twenty Years So Far!!! Night # 2 Show! At the Richmond Coliseum!!! 1985 Grateful Dead, you either love it or you don’t. I’ve come to that conclusion over the years – and there are two very distinct sides to the Deadhead-Camps of opinion. While some Fans can be critical of some of the Mid-80’s song-material, upbeat-tempos, and Garcia’s slightly grainier voice… Others idolize & treasure this period, can’t get enough, and must track down every note played from this powerful era of the Band’s development. Yes, 20 Years in here – and our heroes are still developing, evolving and growing as musicians!! ? ! I myself, reside in the later camp – live for this high-energy, chance-taking powerhouse G. And have for years & years. However, when I was a kid – I had yet to get’ bit’ by the Mid-80’s bug that my friends were always pushing – but then I was gradually infected. And infected for good. Once I gathered more & more chunks (analog cassettes, to be precise) of both Summer & Fall’85 Tours? I just couldn’t hear enough of this stuff – warts and all. It clearly is a magical, brawny & groundbreaking period for the Band, and I wholeheartedly consider it to be one of the Dead’s four major ” Prime-Eras “. The fact is, there is some youthful vigor to this 20-Year Old Grateful Dead – and they just simply get after it night after night, after night in 1985. Every Band Member has 20-years of playing experience under their belt, and my do they shine. This is without a doubt one of the most ” Rockin’ ” Grateful Dead Eras there ever was. Unlike say 1977, by’85 they have 125 + songs in their rotation, Tons of great original material (along with’ tons’ of great covers), just nailed down. There are brisk transitions, and hard-pushes on jams everywhere. Technology finally caught up with them too, as this was actually the 1st Digital Soundboard recording ever released in the Dick’s Pick Series. Every String-player & Drummer has their favorite toys & tools, and these Guitar & Bass Rigs And Drum-Kits are just ridiculous – top-notch stuff, with the finest unique sounds & tones. And the main topic here that cannot be denied is Garcia’s furious & vicious fret board picking attack, and massive tone. My theory though who really knows? Is that it was a wide-array of insane sounding Boss equipment HM-2 – OD-1 – OC-2, etc. That laid the platform, and he dialed up the silver-faced twin pre-amp up 1 notch on the intensity, and like 2 (or so) notches on the reverb dial. It’s just brisk, glassy & completely awesome. The only other J. Guitar-rig tone this ear-catching after 1985, was probably 1989 – but still, at this point we are talking about the post-MIDI era. I mean come on Folks & Fans everywhere, we are talking about’85 Greek – River Bend – Blossom – SPAC – Merriweather – Ventura – Red Rocks – Kaiser – Tampa – Fox – S. Worcester – Meadowlands – Oakland, etc.. We need a 73-CD Box Set (Like Europe’72) out quickly for this one – but as we all know, this dream unfortunately will probably never happen due to the many points (though, some obviously valid) made stiffly & sternly by the naysayers. I love that Dick Picked this Show for ” Us “!! The mixed-up, multi-surprise set list is just grand. The boys burn the candle at both ends throughout all-three Discs here in VA. Words don’t describe the specifics here, as I’ll just let the music do the talking. However, do prepare yourself & get ready for one of Bobby’s greatest verbal improv’s ever during the midst of a Blistering-Hot! Gloria’ : After that, I just don’t know where my baby went – maybe went up in a space-shuttle, or maybe ran for Pres-i-dent! ? ! You’ve just gotta love this stuff….

Grateful Dead Road Trips Vol. 1 No. 1 Bonus Disc CD Fall’79 NY MD 1979 Jam 1-CD
Grateful Dead : Road Trips Vol. 1 – Fall’79 – Bonus Disc! 1979 Fall Tour in’ Both!! : 1-CD : 2007 (1979/2007) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino (GDP / Rhino) – GRA2-6001 : Very-Rare! 1979 Fall Tour Grateful Dead in’ both’ Maryland! From >>> Nassau Coliseum (10/31/79) – Capital Center (11/8/79) & Buffalo Memorial Auditorium (11/9/79)!!!!!! The Inaugural Very 1st! Road Trips ” Bonus Disc CD ” Vol. 1 release from the Amazing! Grateful Dead ” Road Trips ” Series!!! Road Trippin’ on the East Coast – Mid-Atlantic – on Fall Tour’79!!!!! Road Trips Volume 1 / Number 1… The’ Very 1st’ Inaugural Bonus Disc CD release from this Fantastic! Series – the one that kicked-off the frenzy, and all of our fellow ” Road Trips ” addictions. Folks, this one is simply a blistering-hot Fall Tour’79 Grateful Dead treasure! 1979 Grateful Dead is a beautiful time in the Band’s development, and this is coming from someone with a fine-tuned & adoring “’80’s Dead ” ear. This is the next-step in the evolution from the Pigpen, T. And Keith & Donna Eras. It’s Brent time now, and he is a Very-Big-Man! In a small package. This guy can bring the Heat! When I’ve gotten into drag down anti-Brent conversations over the last 25 years, here’s what I always would say : Brent Mydland has more talent & raw soul in his little pinky finger than most musicians could every even dream of – period. And’ Thanks’ specifically to Bob Weir (& Jerry Garcia), Brent very willingly joined their & our! Twelve straight years of Brilliant! Live and Studio Music for the rabid Dead Fans. Brent played his Very-1st Show with the Band in San Jose, CA on 4/22/79 and the best part of this Rare ” Bonus Disc ” release is that two key things happen… Brent & the rest of the Band have begun to work out the kinks of the 1st six-months (hence, the’ adjustment period’), and this release captures them at Three different high-energy East Coast venues in October & November’79 on Fall Tour – which was really the first stage of them letting loose together, and taking daring chances as a true unit. Clearly the Fans (and the Boys) were able to reap the rewards of this synergy that was becoming very fine-tuned – with a very bright future ahead. And secondly, Jerry Garcia begins to enter into three fine key stages of appreciation (or – musical love affairs, if I may) of Brent and his vocal and musical contributions on stage, his brand new Doug Irwin Axe Tiger! , and his highly-audible & increased passion for his MXR script-logo! To put it frankly, Jerry’s increased aggressive picking attack & nastier / moodier tone begin to have more guts! With the increased use of distortion, and with the swiftest of authority & command. This’79 Fall Tour is just downright Smokin’ Hot! And this initial Road Trips ” Bonus Disc ” effort remains very true-to-form in the fact that it pulls smoking-segments & many Moments of Magic! From both Maryland & New York >>> 10/31/1979 (Nassau Coliseum NY) – 11/8/1979 Cap Center MD! & 11/9/1979 Buffalo Memorial Aud. Unlike some of the later releases in this Series full-Shows + addl. Segments from other Shows , this one is a True! ” Road Trip ” and it takes you on a portion of the exact one the Band took 40-years ago! – thus sharing a nice chunk of the true-goodies, in order as they authentically happened live on stage. I’ve talked to people that feel this 1st’ Inaugural’ Road Trips Vol. 1 Bonus Disc CD release was actually the very best of all, and that it continued to stand above all others throughout the rest of the series. I personally enjoy plenty of them, and it would be hard to pick favorites – but I can certainly understand this valid argument – and, especially if you love your’80’s G. As this is indeed the mouth & the gateway of that Magical! This Bonus Disc release is just a plain and simple Heater! Also, like many of these releases – many of the main gems & jams but not all – i. Do happen on the’ Bonus Disc’ portion. I think I’m going to take the initiative at this time to label this one an Absolute… ” Must-Have for Deadheads “, and it’s a complete no-brainer for all of the Early-80’s Enthusiasts! Who can just never get enough of this stuff… 79 release – Amazing!!! Fall’79 in New York!!! & in the Good Ol’ MD!!!!!

At the Winterland Arena! – in San Francisco!! 2008 (1978/2008) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino (GDP / Rhino) : Red-Hot!! Previously unissued Grateful Dead’ Live’ recordings from the October 1978 From Egypt with Love! Bay Area ” Return ” from Egypt’78!!! October 17 & 21, 1978!!!!! Road Trips ” Winterland ” Bonus Disc CD!!! Billed at the time & commonly referred to as the From Egypt with Love! Shows, this Road Trips Bonus Disc CD captures the Band on 10/17/1978 & 10/21/1978 at the Winterland arena in San Francisco during a 5-night’ Homecoming’ from the amazing & surreal experience of playing 3-nights in front of the Pyramids & Sphinx at the Gizah Sound & Light Theater in Cairo, Egypt. This was a fine chance & occasion for the band members to collectively spread the magic that they experienced on that monumental journey. As it also stands, this would be one of the final runs / stands of the Grateful Dead playing the Fan (& Band) favorite Winterland Arena on their Bay Area home-turf. This Bonus Disc CD features tracks from both 10/17/78 & 10/21/78 and is simply fantastic — truly one of the very-finest Road Trips Series’ Bonus Disc’ releases. There is clearly ” love in the air “, and the synergy between the Fans & the Band is captured beautifully in this audio-mix. From a personal standpoint, this is one (if not’ the’) Road Trips Series releases I was most excited to receive when I heard it would be released back in 2008. Not only beautiful & well-played tunes from this Late-’70’s G. ” Era ” like Bertha > Good Lovin’ – Estimated Prophet – He’s Gone – and Around & Around… But this one also features a Mesmerizing! & Historic ” Special-Treat ” in the form of ” If I Had The World To Give “!!! There are many moments on this release that border / equal music perfection – at least to my humble Grateful Dead ears. This is without question a Must-Hear & Must-Have, in my opinion. The He’s Gone here will just make your spine tingle, and Had the World to Give? !! Well, here’s my super-short personal story : I was listening to this song on my 10/17/78 analog tape through the head-phones – naturally… At just before midnight on 8/8/95. After the tune, I hung’em up, turned off the tape-deck and went to bed. The next morning my better half called me letting me know that Jerry had passed. So, even though it can sometimes be a bit tough to hear for me – every today, decades later… I’m all the more grateful to own this legendary live-track in pristine A + quality. Included beautifully on this Bonus Disc, and is a must -hear / must-have, no question. And one of the Finest! Grateful Dead Road Tips Series’ Bonus Disc’ Rarity releases.
