Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. >>> GDCD 4051 !!! ***Alright ! Yes !!! I love it ... 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.D. 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. So, despite folks selling their souls - for the very good cause of amplified Rock 'n Roll sound, this system is a one of a kind - and it clearly shows in the tale of the tape : 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 ! And yes ... Six-Hundred-Forty-One ( 641 ) Speakers !!! 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.D. release ... 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. You ! are the absolute-best at these surprises & for that we Thank-You ! & are Forever Grateful !! Big-League '74 ! here fans ... I mean dig-in & Enjoy !!!!
