Hey Guys! When I saw there was a music thread here on GD, just had to come and poke around.
This is the first place I've visited as a new member, I love checking out all the cool album art.
I'll be hanging out here and in the Sansui section.

Dick's Picks Volume 4 was the second album of live material from the 2/13/70 and 2/14/70 concerts. The first was History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice), which was released in 1973.

One of my all time favorite shows. Man, oh man, a lotta water under the bridge since this dicks picks. . . .


It's funny, random pops this show up for me, and the two previous posts (bears choice and greyfolded) both have parts of the same shows in them.

Saw the Dead 7 times, I think I remember 3 of the shows. The best was at the Uptown Theater in Chicago, (balcony seats), 1st half acoustic, 2nd half electric. Very smokey up there.

And It Stoned Me, Tangled Up In Blue, Deal, Midnight Moonlight, Run For The Roses... and all the rest.. blow me away! There's a screamer in the audience in the L channel though that gets a little annoying. Can't blame her though!
 
Yep I wondered How Bela Fleck would work, and he does extremely well!

Is there a list somewhere that has the cameos from various musicians and the specific concerts?
 
That's an interesting question! Not sure.

Off the top of my head, I can think of the following people who "sat in" with the GD:

Carlos Santana
Branford Marsalis
Clarence Clemons
Bob Dylan
Joan Baez
Suzanne Vega
Duane Allman
Dickey Betts
Neville Brothers
David Hidalgo (of Los Lobos)
Stephen Stills
Pete Townshend
 
Finally got DicksP8! What else from the DicksP series is absolutely completely essential to own? (I already own DavesP5 and looking to score DavesP1 ASAP.)
 
I just finished side 2 of Terrapin Station. I had wanted this LP for so long I finally went and found a nice white label promo, banded copy and am very happy with it.

In my highly biased opinion, 1-14 are absolutely must have status. If money is no object, get every dicks picks. There is just something so similar to the live bootlegs about them, they're wonderful.

Also, the first 'from the vaults' are some of my very favorites.




but again, I'm biased.

:)P
 
Yep. Already have the jewel case versions of One and Two from the Vault. Both are culled from original 16 track recordings, iirc. They sound very nice.
I've got the early years from 69 to 74 pretty well covered now.

What are the best complete show(s) from 76-78 to own from either the Dicks/Daves Picks/etc. series?
Don't say the new May 77 set either. It's too expensive! ;(
