![]() This groovy font is symbolic of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s era when the Grateful Dead album was first released. Das Skelett das von der Marine County Seite über die Brücke nach SF blickt, dazu in so einer (sooooo einer) milden Abendatmosphäre.The Grateful Dead font that is used on the album cover and official logo for the band is a typeface by the name of Storybook. Vielleicht vermisse ich ein wenig "Cold Rain and Snow" und "Casey Jones", aber nur ein wenig.īeim Cover trauere ich ein wenig der alten Vinyl Zeit nach. "Samson and Delila", "Greatest Story ever told", "Friend of the devil", ach, herrlich. Mein absoluter Lieblingssong "Jack Straw" wurde auf keiner anderen Aufnahme so wunderbar eingespielt. Es gibt keine endlosen Jams, Jerry's Solos sind so wunderbar fein ziseliert aber genau auf den Punkt. Es macht so unglaublich viel Spass dabei durchaus straight durchgespielte Juwelen zu hören. Wer noch nie etwas von den Dead gehört hat aber Interesse an der (!) SF Band hat sollte sich am besten beide Alben besorgen.Īuf Dead Set swingen die Dead wie selten zuvor. Die akustischen auf Reckonin', die elektrischen auf Dead Set. Die besten Momente der Shows wurden auf zwei grossartigen Live Alben zusammengefasst. Zu den 15 Shows im Warfield kamen dann noch mehrere in der Radio City Music Hall in NY. Wie üblich 4-5 Stunden lange Shows, aufgeteilt in mehrere akustische und elektrische Sets. Und Jerry, Bob und der Rest gaben alles zurrück. Die alten Tapeten wurden runtergerissen, das ganze Foier zu einer Zeitreise durch die Dead Geschichte hergerichtet. Der legendäre Billy Graham rekrutierte in den Wochen vorher ganze Herscharen von Dead Heads um dem alten Gemäuer Gemütlichkeit einzuhauchen. Die Shows in SF fanden im ziemlich runtergekommenen "Warfield Theater" statt. Zur Feier ihres 15 jährigen Bühnenjubiliäums haben die Dead ein Konzertmarathon in SF und New York aufgezeichnet. Kann es eine bessere Beschreibung geben? Aber zur Sache. ![]() Harmon "Sind sie Dead Fan?" Zeugin :"und ob, ich habe xxx Shows von Ihnen gesehen, inklusive Anaheim. Mark Harmon und Sean Connery befragen eine Zeugin die ein GD Poster an der Wand ihres Büros hat. In dem Film "Presidio" gibt es eine herrliche Szene. I've given it a 5.it is probably a 4.5, yet as there isn't an option for this, I rounded up :) I liked it the first time, yet by the 3rd time a loved it. This album also contains what I regard to be one of Bob's finest vocals, (he lets rip and loose - very gruff), as well as one of the finest guitar part Jerry's played, (I friggin love that moment Bob sings about how the 'Dog's begin to bark and the hounds begin to howl' followed by Jerry mimicking a howl via slide guitar.heaven!! For those who are only interested in one or two Dead live albums obviously stick to 'Europe 72' or 'Skull and Roses', however, for those who want to hear more live Dead and already have those albums or for those curious about this one, buy it. There are some really rocking tracks, such as 'Passenger' and 'Greatest Story Ever Told', two fab album songs in a slowed down different version of 'Friend of the Devil', (it is different yet trust me - it works), as well as the mourneful 'Brokedown Palace', (Jerry's vocals are so melancholy and I love that moment where Brent does a little keyboard stuff followed by a little soft solo by Jerry. This album is similiar to the great 'Steal Your Face', (again, don't listen to the critics, there's nothing wrong with that album), however, the band aren't as 'tight' and there's more jamming, (nothing like the earlier stuff though, justy general extended solo's etc). Great sound, (occasionally the odd vocal is quite against the instruments yet this is neither here nor there), fab playing, especially Jerry's guitar, as well as great vocals. This is by far their most 'upbeat' and 'uptempo' album. It's the electric brother to the aforementioned album. ![]() It captured the post Godcheaux Dead on fine form. For those of you who don't know, this album was released in 1981, just after 'Reckoning'. I personally think giving this album less than 4 stars is insane, especially given the general acclaim aimed at 'With a Net' this is far superior. I bought with trepidation this and 'Reckoning' as I gear towards 70's albums and not 1980's and some of the reviews surrounding this particular album weren't too great, (as always though, don't listen to people and critics - it's down to everyones taste. I now have every 'official' live release from the band as well as a few of the archive releases. They are, quite simply, the best live act i've ever heard. As someone who just 12 months ago knew nothing about this band, (I knew they were a band yet for some reason I always thought they were mordernish, like the Stone Roses in style!!!), I know adored these guys.
