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.

Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks 8 Volume Eight Binghamton NY Harpur 5/2/1970 3 CD
Grateful Dead : Dick’s Picks 8 Volume Eight : May 2, 1979 (5/2/1970) – Harpur College – Binghamton, New York (NY) : 3 CD : 1997 (1970/1997) Grateful Dead Records / Grateful Dead Merchandising, Inc. (GDR / GDM) – GDCD 4028 :’ Original! Dick’s Picks release with’ Both’ Electric! In fact, the’ Only! Dick’s Picks with’ Acoustic’ Grateful Dead!!!!! Good Ol’ Grateful Dead! , now that’s like a Pavlov’s Dog word to many Deadheads that will make their mouths well, ears! For many analog (& probably reel-to-reel too) tape collectors, both the 5/2/70 & 11/6/77 shows were very well circulated – often with above-average pristine sound. These tapes were basically cherished possessions of fans for both 27 & 20 years respectively, way-back in 1997 when this fabulous Dick’s Picks Volume 8 hit the shelves in record stores fortunate enough to receive it. Just like the 11/6/77 Show represents the Grateful Dead at their absolute best in 1977 — this 5/2/70 show represents the band at their absolute-best in 1970. And unlike in 1977, you have the glorious inclusion of a beautiful’ Acoustic’ set – in addition to two aggressive & sometimes heavy! Yet still very musically poised’ Electric’ sets — and last but not least, you also have Pigpen!!! Yeah, that always helps!! This 3-CD Set simply represents The Grateful Dead at a musical crossroads, which could also be considered their ” 1st Big Prime ” – and to many-many Fans… It is indeed the Grateful Dead at their very-best. Words can’t really describe this one, and it makes complete sense why this is the favorite Dick’s Picks release of many Deadheads… Including a Deadhead you have probably heard of, or might know? His name is Dick! He himself referred to DP # 8 as The Show Of All Shows! Not certain if that opinion & claim ever did change? It makes perfect sense to me. This show is a ridiculous Heater!!! I know many people consider DP #29 (5/19/77 & 5/21/77) their favorite Dick’s Picks release, but because that one is two (2) complete shows and six (6) full discs! , I do believe it is safe to consider this comparison just a bit of an unfair-fight. Hey, but the reality is – the three (3) CD’s in this set could probably hold their own against almost any 3-CD’s there are! – and not I’m just talking’ about in the Dick’s Picks Series… No joke at all here – take listen for yourself! Sincerely, if you have not heard this 5/2/70 performance – please take my advice and take care of that. You owe it to yourself & will be absolutely delighted if you love your ” Good Ol’ Grateful Dead “! This one is truly Un-believable!

The eager anticipation of the Dead Fans was at a new high, and the’ Mighty’ Energy of the Band was just completely infectious – as they were downright ” ON “!!! I was actually lucky-enough so-thankfully! To catch this Incredible! – the ” Loose Lucy ” kick-down Night! – played by the Boys for the Very-First! With Garcia on’ Complete-Fire!!!

Live crowd response I have’ ever’ heard from not only from a crowd at a Live-Dead Show… At’ Any’ Live Rock & Roll Concert!!! And, for what it’s worth too – at least in my own humble Dead Fan opinion – my view looking back on this Spring’90 Tour isn’t usually the most popular by any stretch of the imagination… , as pretty much everyone seems crazy about the’ Branford’ Show at the Nassau Coliseum. I personally question if’ Brass’ even belongs with Rock & Roll, and especially-with… And, I do well know that others feel otherwise, and quite differently — but, at least to me & my humble Dead Fan ears… 3/14/90 cap Centre Show was indeed The Best! Spring’90 Tour Show – overall, and all things considered. It’s was indeed the’ shortest’ Show, it’s set list doesn’t completely jump out at you other than – the ” Loose Lucy” – naturally… But, ” playing ” wise – I really think it was the very best of the’ Entire’ Tour. There was a little bit nervous energy up there naturally… With all of the Boys, for this ” Tour-Opener ” – and they immediately & completely! Channeled it, and then Hammered! Personally, I even consider this 3/14 Show to be one of the Very-Best! Post-1989′ Grateful Dead Era. I mean for lack of a better way to put it? ” Good Ol’ Grateful Dead ” caliber musicianship & playing… Means it’s All! Meant real serious business all through this 3/14/90 Show, were on Total! And — here indeed is The’ Proof’ in this exceptional pro-released format! Which, only took like 25-Years! But, my goodness – was it ever worth the wait! It is no secret at-all why this Spring 1990 Tour Spring 1990 & Spring’90’ Too’! Was selected for its Amazing! Pro-release, with this 3/14/90 Show definitely being one of the main treasure pieces and to me… To thoroughly prove this fact. Spring Tour’90 performance to say the very-least, and thankfully for us all… This 2-CD Set is clearly one of the Ultimate!

Folks, this one is simply a Blockbuster! 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 this 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 30 years, here’s what I would always say : Brent Mydland has more Talent & Raw Soul in his little-pinky-finger than most Musicians could-every-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 1st Show with the Band in San Jose, CA on 4/22/79 and the best part of this fine 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 (the adjustment period) – and this release captures them at Six 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 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 – he’s using more distortion, and with the swiftest of authority & command. This’79 Fall Tour is just Blistering-Hot! – and this initial Road Trips effort remains very true to form in the fact that it pulls smoking-segments & many Moments of Magic! From 10/25 (New Haven, CT) – 11/6 (Philly Spectrum) – 11/8 Cap Center MD! – 11/9 (Buffalo) & 11/10 (Ann Arbor). Unlike some of the later releases in this Series (Full-Shows + add itional segments from other Shows), this one is a True ” Road Trip ” and it takes you on the exact one the Band took 40-Years Ago! – thus sharing a very-nice chunk of the True Live Goodies! In order as they authentically happened Live on Stage. I’ve talked to people that feel this 1st release was actually the Very-Best! Of all, and it continued to stand above all other throughout the rest of the series. I personally enjoy plenty of them, and it would be very-hard to pick favorites – but I can certainly understand this very-valid argument. This is just plainly and simply a 2 -CD Heater!!! 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 -Era G. Who can just never get enough of this stuff. Nothin’s shakin’ on Shakedown Street… Ahhh, but, oh Yes there Is!!!

Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks 3 Volume Three Pembroke Pines FL 5/22/77 1977 UK 2 CD
Grateful Dead : Dick’s Picks 3 Volume Three : May 22, 1977 (5/22/1977) – Sportatorium – Pembroke Pines – Florida (FL) : 2 CD : GDCD2 4022 : 1995 (1977/1995) Grateful Dead Records / Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. (GDR / GDP) – Very-Rare! Made In The UK! May 1977 Grateful Dead!!!!! Wow, way-back now – or at least I suppose. That’s when this one was released & the circumstances were as very-strange as they ever could ever possibly be, as my memory distinctly serves me. We were all devastated, and busy trying to lick a wound that we knew deep down would never heal. Jerry Garcia died on 8/9/1995, and this was the 1st ” Dick’s Picks ” released after his untimely passing. DP # 3 (5/22/77) was released in November’95, and normally this well-anticipated trip over to the CD Store would be like waiting for Santa Claus! To come to town, but – not this time. So, I still made the journey though, because I needed at least something in a feeble attempt to soothe the devastating situation at hand. Well knowing this could be good or bad, happy or sad. It ended up being lots of every emotion possible, quite naturally… But oh my goodness, what a monster release by Dick!!! ? ! I mean are you kidding me? ! ? I always had a real fondness for’77 Dead, and when I was a kid I would claim that I thought it was indeed the Grateful Dead at their ” Absolute-Finest “. I swore-by’77 Grateful Dead – and still do, of course. Over the years, my opinion has been all over the board as times & my musical tastes change – but there still is no denying 1977 as one-of (if not’ the’) best overall year for the Band. I had a majority of’77 in my cherished analog collection, and thankfully had a few very connected folks that looked out for me when it came to my’77 addiction… But when I got my hands on this 2-CD set, I was absolutely blown back – a truly Beyond-Powerful performance!! I guess some of it was that I strangely had yet to even hear it? But the two-track stereo sound was mind-blowing from a channel / separation standpoint. I mean this performance is right up there with the Binghamton’s – Buffalo’s – St. Louis’ – Manor Downs’ – Ithaca’s – Winterland’s, etc.. Of the’77 World. CD One gives you no-mercy & straight up cooks! With burning versions of Music – Lightning > Supplication – Dancin’ & Help > Slip! Then CD Two actually delivers yes, it’s true… ” Very-Best Grateful Dead I had ever heard “. Up there on the very ultra! Outside of a Rockin’ Samson, and incredibly-deep & exploratory versions of Estimated > Eyes — here comes the real doozie : Two (2) of the finest segue / song transitions in Grateful Dead History. I won’t discuss the specifics, or details because only the music itself can do that properly naturally… But what happens during Wharf Rat > Terrapin > Morning Dew is simply live-musical-perfection, and in a completely genius fashion! These are really the only words I can think of to use & explain… As truly, this is the kind of music that really cannot be’put’ into words – as to try, is to almost do it an injustice. This is really just that good. This piece of Grateful Dead’ Live’ History… DP # 3 — one of the Very-Very Best Ever! To this very day. The crazy-rare “UK Printing” GDCD2 4022’Made In The UK format!!

This is a 3-CD Set, and you are also treated to Seven (7) Bonus Tracks from the 11/2/77 Toronto, Ontario Show just three (3) nights prior. This was ” Dick’s Last Pick from the’77 Well “, and in some ways he did indeed save some nuggets of the best stuff for last. As with much of’77 Dead, the percussion time-keeping is just immaculate – but this is indeed one of those more-so uptempo nights where the energy flows freely, and good timing leads to good vocals, to good stage charisma, and to pushing the envelopes when the pockets present themselves. Vocally, they’re just on! Shows like this & Englishtown too! Make me wonder why he ever permanently parted with that MXR Distortion + and MXR Analog Delay… With the Reticon Chip! — these things just Take-Charge! — I mean turning Solos! But then again, it is Garcia driving them… The King of Rock’n Roll! And nobody can do it just’quite’ like him. Hip, hip hurrAhhh for this 1977 Grateful Dead Dick! I mean what else can I say?

Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks 24 Volume Twenty Four Cow Palace CA 3/23/74 1974 2 CD
Grateful Dead : Dick’s Picks 24 Volume Twenty Four : March 23, 1974 (3/23/1974) – Cow Palace – Daly City, California (CA) : 2 CD : 2002 (1974/2002) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. (GDP) – GDCD 4044 :’ Original!’74 Wall Of Sound!! Live’ in the California Bay Area!!! 1974 Grateful Dead Live! Through the One & Only! – inside the Bay Area!! At the Good Ol’ Cow Palace!!!!! Please Note >>> This is the Very-Rare! Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. Printing from 2002 GDCD 4044 – 1974/2002 GDP, Inc. 1974 Wall of Sound!!! Was this the’ Sound-Beast’ that sucked in the Grateful Dead and dragged them down?? ! As a Dead Fan myself – I think not – I believe it Amplified their Fantastic Musicianship! To a pristine-level, like no other band ever!!! However, I’ve certainly heard & read many tales of how this Monster! Of a sound system dragged them down both Band & Crew! Due to its sheer square foot size, and financial drain to keep it pumping. To my ear, 1974 is an immaculate period for the Band – and it is easy as an outsider to wonder why a band playing like this would hang it up possibly for good? – yet, so-thankfully’ not’ in October of’74 at the Winterland, announcing what would be billed as ” The Last One ” – thus the last Grateful Dead Concert ever?? Music & sound wise, this 3/23/74 Cow Palace Show is incredible and offers everything one would expect & hope for in a’74 performance : U. Wind – Scarlet – China > Rider – Weather Report Suite and that’s just on CD One! — CD 2 takes it way-deep and multidimensional… The Playin’ > Uncle John’s > Morning Dew > Uncle John’s > Playin’ is just big stuff – big-time, creative & Legendary! Musicianship by the Dead. The Wharf Rat > Sugar Magnolia at the end merely ices this cake of bliss. Inside the Liner Notes, Bear does his thing like only Bear can-do… Offering details, specs, talking-up / promoting & rightfully bragging about the ” Wall “. The 3/22/74 San Francisco Chronicle article sums this scene up in a way that almost nobody could do better with a title-article stating ” The Dead : Committed to Sound Perfection “. And that they are indeed. Here are just a few brief notes on the ” Wall ” that I can’t help but share with you : Six (6) Independent Sound Systems (one each-unique for Vocals, Lead-Guitar, Rhythm-Guitar, Piano, Bass & Drums)! — Eleven (11) separate Channels! — Forty-Eight (48) Amplifiers! Though I’m certain being fortunate enough to play through, or just listen to this System-of-a-System live is pure Joy & Bliss — but imaging hauling it around, and feeding (paying-for) all the fuel in its hungry tank! ? ! Those of you who saw it, I’m so Amazingly-Happy! As that does indeed enshrine you officially as a very-important part of Rock’n Roll History!! The Music & Concert World will never see anything like this again from a standpoint of size, quality & just blatant genius-dialed audible perfection. Here in the new millennium, wealthy bands like say the Rolling Stones – U2 or even Metallica can try… But nothing can – or ever will – hold-a-candle to the sound-perfection of the Grate!
