About this product
Taken from one of the Dead's annual year-end runs of Bay Area concerts, Dick's Picks Vol. 5 marked five straight volumes of '70s shows selected by archivist Dick Latvala to start the series, and as it was from one of the very last days of the decade, it was the perfect way for Dick to complete his own mini InchtourInch of the '70s. But Vol. 5 has a lot more going for it than just a convenient spot on the calendar; this is one of the rawest and most energetic Picks, a complete show anchored by a second set that is in essence one big medley that begins with InchUncle John's BandInch and ends with it almost two hours later, with a supercharged InchThe Other OneInch and the first appearance of InchBrokedown PalaceInch in two years among many high points in between. Set one is no slouch, either, with a great, Garcia-led rendition of InchAlabama GetawayInch four months before it appeared on record and a passionate vocal by Bob Weir on InchLooks Like RainInch leading to a spirited, set-closing InchThe Promised Land.Inch And throughout it all you'll hear Brent Mydland serving notice in one of his early shows with the band that he is fully up to the task of replacing Keith Godchaux. For this LP reissue, we've given Dick's Picks Vol. 5 the usual Real Gone spit 'n' Polish, starting with a fresh mastering job by Jeffrey Norman. Here is Mr. Norman's report thanks to some technical advances, he was able to even out the bass and remove hundreds of clicks from Jerry Garcia's guitar (thought to be caused by the metal pick that he was using at the time). Add to that lacquer cutting by the Well Made Music team of Clint Holley and Dave Polster and a 180-gram black vinyl pressing at our favorite plant, Gotta Groove Records, and you can rest assured that Dick's Picks Vol. 5 is going to deliver the same superlative sonic experience as our other Real Gone Dick's Picks vinyl reissues.

The Knickerbockers - Jerk and Twine Time [VINYL LP] 180 Gram date 08/28/2012
Limited eight vinyl LP box set. Trying to decide which Grateful Dead concert to reissue on vinyl is kind of like ordering from the menu of a three-star restaurant no matter what you pick, it's not just going to be good, it's also going to be unique and memorable. Faced with such an embarrassment of riches, and trying to remain true to our vision of hitting a different year with each , we decided to do what any sensible Dead Head would do go BIG. Hence, our 8-LP of Dick's Picks Vol. 33! Fresh from a year-and-a-half touring hiatus, and back to full, two-drummer strength, the Dead opened for The Who as part of Bill Graham's historic Day on the Green concerts in 1976. This Pick captures both dates in their entirety, and features one of the most monumental medleys (and that's sayin' something!) in band history with a 60-minute, 10-song journey through InchSt. StephenInch/InchNot Fade AwayInch/InchSt. StephenInch/InchHelp on the WayInch/InchSlipknot!Inch/InchDrumsInch/InchSamson and DelilahInch/InchSlipknot!Inch/InchFranklin's TowerInch/InchOne More Saturday NightInch on the first day. Day two offers excellent takes on two solo Garcia favorites, InchMight as WellInch and InchThe Wheel,Inch that were new to the concert repertoire and a particularly fine InchRamble on RoseInch among other highlights.
