Grateful Dead Dick's Picks 1 4LP LIMITED Tampa, Florida 1973 ANALOG REMASTER

Description: NEW + SEALED SHIPS IN A STURDY MAILER WITH ADDITIONAL PADDING FOR SUPERIOR PROTECTION! GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick's Picks Vol. 1Tampa, Florida 12/19/73 (30th Anniversary 4-LP 180-Gram Limited & Hand-Numbered Vinyl Edition) The road to Dicks Picks Vol. 1 began in 1985, when Grateful Dead archivist Dick Latvala sat bassist Phil Lesh down and virtually forced him to listen to some tapes from older shows. It still took Dick eight years to get the band to agree to release the first volume of Dicks Picks, and the second one didnt come till two years laterbut Dicks persistence paid off with a series of live recordings that revolutionized the way bands approach archival material. Now, on the 30thanniversary of its release and the 50th anniversary of the show itself, we at Real Gone Music are proud to reissue Dicks Picks Vol. 1, remastered for vinyl by Jeffrey Norman from the original analog tapes for the first time ever (the previous LP release was taken from digital files). Right off the bat its easy to understand why Dick chose this show; the version of Here Comes Sunshine that leads off disc one is pretty much universally considered the best ever, a piece of seamless and gently swinging ensemble work featuring lyrical Jerry Garcia guitar leads that distills the essence of the bands mythos and appeal. Throw in a great rendition of the rarely-performed Nobodys Fault but Mine that leads into a stellar 16-minute jam that flirts with a full-fledged The Other One but dances spacily away, and a moving Stella Blue before the Around and Around finale and you have another legendary nightin fact, the LAST nightfrom a great year (1973) of touring.and, as such, the perfect way to begin the long strange trip that is the Dicks Picks series. Our release actually includes some material (featuring the long-lost Phil Lesh bass solo) that was left off previous iterations of this show, and, with lacquer cutting by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music and pressing on 180-gram black vinyl by Gotta Groove Records, the sound on this 4-LP boxed setwhich, again, comes straight from the original analog tapes for the first timeis simply sublime.
