Rare San Francisco Hippie Rock Collectible

1972 (((Original))) first vinyl pressing of classic West Coast "GRATEFUL DEAD" album....

A founding member of the Grateful Dead, Bob Weir's musical legacy will be of an utterly strange rhythm guitar player and songwriter who grew up in one of the most lasting outside bands of the 1960s. His 1972 "solo" album attests to his importance to not only The Dead, but the San Francisco music scene as well...

Billed as a solo album by the Grateful Dead vovalist & rhythm guitarist, the album is backed up by The Grateful Dead....so, although it could easily be argued that Weir's album was in reality the next Grateful Dead album simply featuring the rhythm guitarist's compositions and lead vocals throughout. In essence, Ace became the follow-up to the double-live LP Grateful Dead [1971] (aka "Skull and Roses"), which included a live and somewhat non-descript rendition of "Playing in the Band." Ironically, on this studio release the Grateful Dead stretch out during the seven-plus-minute version — which is considered to be one of their most inspired improvisational interactions away from the concert stage. Likewise, practically every track — with the exception of the painfully optimistic "Walk in the Sunshine" — became an integral component of the Grateful Dead's performance repertoire for their remaining 20-plus years as an actively touring band. Much of Ace is flavored with the same rural-rock & roll textures that informed the Dead's previous two studio recordings, American Beauty and Workingman's Dead. The addition of keyboardist Keith Godchaux gives songs such as "Greatest Story Ever Told" and "One More Saturday Night" an aggressive bite which is conspicuous in its absence from the Grateful Dead's previous studio outings. On the whole, Ace is thoroughly enjoyable for devout Deadheads as well as less-fanatical enthusiasts. Other standout tracks include the lilting lullaby "Cassidy," and the driving "One More Saturday Night," and Garcia's lazy, laid-back pedal steel guitar work on the Dead classic "Looks Like Rain."
