Grateful Dead Dave’s Picks Vol. 23: Eugene, OR 1/22/78 5LP Dave’s Picks 23 VINYL.
IN HAND AND READY TO SHIP IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU ORDER!!.
The set, consisting of five records, is arguably the best Dave’s Picks show and great to see it released on vinyl. It’s the 23rd Dave’s Picks but only the second to be put on vinyl because this show is that good. It’s a high quality recording and Phil’s playing is unreal (but caution will blow your speakers if up too loud); This will sell out quickly (Dave’s Vol 1 did..) and hopefully deadnet has fixed the shipping problems they had with Dave’s 1. Don’t worry if there is any damage whatsoever when it gets here, I will inform you and give you the option of full refund
Product Description:
This 5LP set is strictly limited to 5,000 copies. Each copy is individually numbered. As you're likely now aware, we'll be reissuing some of the Dave's Picks releases on vinyl, re-mastered from the original analog tapes by Jeffrey Norman. We won't be releasing them all, but we'll be curating some of our and your favourites on an occasional basis. Last year, Vol. 1 from 5/25/77 came out on vinyl, and the second release will be Vol. 23, the magnificent show from 1/22/78 in Eugene, OR. This show is dynamite from start to finish, with a few upper-tier Grateful Dead moments from the 1977-1978 period. The unique "Close Encounters" theme and "St. Stephen" are the centrepieces of what is considered one of 1978's best second sets. We have more great Dave's Picks planned for vinyl release, so stay tuned, but for now we hope you'll dig the long-sold-out-on-CD Vol. 23. - David Lemieux
Close encounters in Eugene, Oregon! We are not alone in saying this one could be considered top-of-line Grateful Dead from 1978. Yes, as the tales have been told, 1/22/78 conjured up vibes of the Be-in, Altamont, Yippies, Psychedelia, Woodstock, Free Speech, Acid Trips, heaven for one lucky concert-goer, and of course, aliens. If you wanna know what we're on about, there's no better way to experience the show than with this lovingly-restored version from legendary sound engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson's recordings. Witness sets packed with bright and vibrant gems like a surprisingly heavy "Row Jimmy," a freshly tender "Ship Of Fools," and a transcendental "The Other One." And if you have levitated too far, Jerry's "Close Encounters" solo (ironic, we know) will reel you back in and set you right up for the powerful crescendo of "St. Stephen" and the band's shake-it-all-about boogie-down finale.
