Description: NEW SEALED 2X LP *LIMITED HAND NUMBERED EDITION OF 3500 WORLDWIDE **REMASTERED FOR VINYL FROM ORIGINAL TAPES FOR THE FIRST TIME ***ETCHED SIDE 4 Its the kind of place where you can easily imagine spirits roamsay on a Halloween evening featuring a band called the Grateful Dead. For, on that 1971 nightcaptured on this, the only single CD release in the entire Dicks Picks series, here presented on a three-sided double-LPthe group played the most ethereal, dreamy, and, yes, spooky version of Dark Star ever recorded; its almost as if Jerry Garcia was communing with his ancestors (and maybe John Coltrane) for the first seven minutes of his beautifully structured, contemplative and yearning solo. Then, after the vocal verse, Garcia, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, and bassist Phil Lesh take turns suggesting a new improvisational theme before the band telepathically picks up on a two-note theme and Garcia launches into some of the most ecstatic guitar playing ever captured on tape anywhere (labeled by some the Tighten Up jam after the Archie Bell & the Drells song; others hear an embryonic Eyes of the World). The rest of the show keeps flying high; the whole band is on fire during Sugar Magnolia, a rare, early-70s performance of St. Stephen (the final live version until 1976) swaggers like it should, and a great Not Fade Away/ Goin Down the Road Feeling Bad/ Not Fade Away medley rounds out the showa hallowed performance indeed. Now, Dicks Picks Vol. 2 has seen a very limited vinyl release before, but that release cut its lacquers from CD files. Well, as the recent saying goes, Lordy, there are tapes! Yup, Jeffrey Norman of Mockingbird Mastering has gone back to the original Scotch reel-to-reel tapes (pictured in the gatefold inner spread) to bring you a brand, spankin new master of this utterly amazing show. The Well Made Music boys Clint Holley and Dave Polster cut the lacquers, and guess what? This baby was pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Gotta Groove Records, which is headquartered inthats rightColumbus. Yep, its a homecoming all around, and we swear, though we know this Pick like the back of our hand, we heard some new things this time around, and oh, that Garcia guitar tone! Thats where the vinyl advantage kicks in. Limited edition of 3500 hand-numbered copiesand we have a little something extra for you on side 4 (take a look at the picture)!
