Never heard that show, is it good? "Desolation Row"!? Do they jam on it? Hope so. (Thee original track circulates in my head quite often.)

DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 14
MARCH 26, 1972: NEW YORK, NEW YORK

The cold rain and snow have started to fade away and with it, we're dusting off a super hot one from a soaring seven nights at New York's old Academy of Music. On the brink of their revelatory Europe '72 tour, the Grateful Dead brought their sevenfold merriment to winter-worn Manhattan and boy, did they warm things up! Particularly on March 26, when the dual piano/Hammond combo of Godchaux and McKernan was in full effect and Alabama singer Donna Jean Godchaux began to find her vocal footing in the band's rich harmonies. Pigpen enthusiasts will surely rejoice when digging in to the early live versions of his originals - the limber "Chinatown Shuffle," the bouncy "Mr. Charlie," and the extremely tender "The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)," not to mention a 21-minute classic cover of "Good Lovin'" deemed "the penultimate New York rave-up, a wild and perfect and funky showcase for a Lord Buckley-loving, Beat-reading member of the Grateful Dead, now and forever."

Limited to 16,500 individually numbered copies, Dave's Picks Volume 14 has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman and features liner notes by Jesse Jarnow and illustrations by Micah Nelson.

Due to ship May 1st.

Always been curious as to how faithful those tribute bands are to the shows they cover.

And is there a reason why that show has never seen official release?

i think that dick latvala said that cornell was so widely distributed as a tape/bootleg that he didn't see the point in releasing it officially. but at this point, i'm not sure -- maybe they're just holding on to it so they can have a big release of such a famous show somewhere down the line

hm, yeah, I guess that makes sense. I thought it would've been on their shortlist of releases from the beginning of the Dick's Picks/From the Vault series.

here's some more info: http://www.relix.com/articles/detail/beyond-cornell-david-lemieux-on-the-grateful-dead-archives-and-may-1977

Cool, thanks! Yeah, makes sense they'd need the master.

Happy to see 2/22/69 in there, always a favorite of mine

I really don't get it - wouldn't anyone with the depth of obsession that is required to appreciate this set of shows already have high-quality versions from the Archive or somewhere else? They are not that hard to find for basically free. Who buys something like this?

loving your pitchfork article tyler!!!!

i'm just starting to go through the shows you picked and I am psyched to explore them all

How's that Bobby doc on Netflix?

thanks marcos -- there is obviously no shortage of writing about the Dead these days, but i thought I'd throw my two cents in.
weir doc is just OK, worth watching if you're into the dead, but it really just made me want a big, all encompassing doc about the band. which i guess is what that scorsese thing will be?

here's the link to my piece (the first of three or four): http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/789-invisible-hits-decades-of-dead-garage-psych-in-67/

perhaps one day Ken Burns will do some mad 6 Part PBS history of the Dead, that'd be sweet.

I feel like Bret Mydland and Ken Burns have the same hairsperation

xp think that's what this will be (minus ken burns)

Does anyone intend to read the new biog by David Browne?

I liked Rock Scully's one, which was entertaining and the McNally one was exhausting, do I need to read another?

Excerpts from Kreutzmann's memoir seem pretty entertaining, and apparently the whole thing gets upfront about various ups and downs. Scroll up for a little more about it.

since this thread is current I guess I'll put this WaPo article about the reunion gigs here, seems like a pretty honest and unflinching take on it:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/how-the-grateful-dead-overcame-old-feuds-legal-spats-and-bad-vibes-for-the-hottest-ticket-of-the-summer/2015/06/12/18618064-0e7a-11e5-a0dc-2b6f404ff5cf_story.html

Jeez, I thought "WaPo" might have meant Wax Poetics. . .

As if. . .

haha sorry

No, I just wish they would have gone that direction, but alas. . .

haha, i worked for the dude who wrote that (pretty terrible!) huffington post editorial referenced in the washpost article. one of the most egomaniacal assholes ever, and i'm sure he'll be talking about how he saved the grateful dead for the rest of his days.

Too much man, lotta links in this here Grateful Dead Bulletin, check 'em out

Contributed $10 to this--primarily in memory of Owsley, who always struck me as one of the most interesting characters from that time (and gets mentioned on the Airplane's amazing "Mexico").

Weir doc on Netflix is worth it for the footage of Jerry scuba diving.

OTM

Just now, on KMUW: verra nice version of "Blue Yodel # 9," from The Jerry Garcia Band On Broadway, Act One---new release, details here: http://jerrygarcia.shop.musictoday.com/Dept.aspx?cp=640_68436
It followed a damn near exhilarating, anyway romantic & soulful cover of "The Attics of My Life," from the new album by Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams. Campbell survived many a leg of the Endless Tour, among other things. Will have to check this out.

From the American Routes archives: Grateful Dead w Hank, Buck, Ornette, Branford, Jesse Lonecat Fuller, Wailing Souls, more. 2 hrs.
Now playing: host Nick Spitzer's good Smithsonian interview with Garcia (incl. bursts of music).
Stream (or download, if you have Firefox's FlashGot, for inst): http://americanroutes.wwno.org/archives/show/911/from-home-page

Talking about learning banjo from Clarence Ashley cuts on Smithsonian Anthology: "On the banjo, I had to fight myself, because my natural inclination is to improvise."

Franklin's Tower from last night was genuinely, incredibly beautiful imo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qCiuI_g9vdg

Yeah came here to post that, I'd even recommend it to non-Deadheads (ie this board)

Trying to get a read on how the gigs sounded from Youtube, but it's not that easy for some reason, band sounds kinda sleepy.

Dude from Phish always looks so just happy to be there, even in Phish.

he did a pretty decent jerry impression, guitar-wise!

Yeah, weary of YouTube audio and will probably wait till higher quality versions surface (have they already? Surely, anyone have a link?)

Also this piece about the wall of sound is cool: http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-wall-of-sound

http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/grateful-dead/6620439/sonic-youth-lee-ranaldo-grateful-dead-fare-thee-well-essay

Yeah, weary of YouTube audio and will probably wait till higher quality versions surface (have they already? Surely, anyone have a link?)

You didn't think for a second the Dead organization wasn't going to capitalize on this, did you? HA!

3 versions btw

I think nyctaper has a couple of the shows for free

Enjoyed that Lee Renaldo essay

We're wrapping up the 2015 Dave's Picks series with a real whopper! That's right, Dave's Picks Volume 16: Springfield Civic Center, Springfield, MA 3/28/73 - the show that nearly didn't happen - is packed with 30 songs and lengthy ones to boot. As liner note scribe Dennis McNally claims this one's got a "classic 1973 'problem': almost too much good material... they simply did not know how to stop." From the rare "Cumberland Blues" opener barreling into a first set packed with new-at-the-time tunes to an unparalleled second set sequence of "Weather Report Suite">a massively beautiful atonal 31-minute "Dark Star">"Eyes of the World">"Playing In the Band" - an atypical show closer with its extreme energy - we are certain you will agree that this one's bountiful.

Recorded by Kidd Candelario and mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman, Dave's Picks Vol. 16 ships out November 1st. Like all our 2015 Dave's Picks releases, it's also limited to 16,500 individually numbered copies - and these have been known to sell out in matter of days - so you'll want to grab a copy while you can!

Can discerning Deadheads tell me, is there much of a difference between early '73 and late '73? The two late '73 shows I've heard (Evanston, IL and Denver) sounded like they'd lost a lot of steam since Europe '72.
