Grateful Dead ‎– Dick's Picks Volume Four: Fillmore East 2/13-14/70

Read "Grateful Dead ‎– Dick's Picks Volume Four: Fillmore East 2/13-14/70" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

Quite apart from the the scintillating performances spread over (the first ever release of) three CD's on the Grateful Dead's Dick's Picks Volume 4, this title has all the earmarks of a classic entry into this seminal archive series. It was recorded at the fabled Fillmore East, the now defunct New York City venue operated by ...

Dave's Picks Volume 15 & Dick's Picks Volume 5

Read "Dave's Picks Volume 15 & Dick's Picks Volume 5" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

It's been said before but it's worth saying again: if the coincidental Grateful Dead archive releases on Real Gone Music and Rhino Records are meant to complement each or not, they end up doing so. Significant changes in the band's personnel took place in the fifteen months between the April 22, 1978 show captured on Dave's ...

Jerry Garcia: Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987

Read "Broadway: Act One: October 28th, 1987" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

The deliciously relaxed air of the music on these three discs belies the precision in the musicianship as much as it does the operations necessary for a two week run on a Broadway theater. And all this attention to detail, well-served as it is, gives the lie to the moment of serendipity from which it sprung:an ...

Grateful Dead: The Best of the Grateful Dead

Read "Grateful Dead: The Best of the Grateful Dead" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

As with so many aspects of the Grateful Dead oeuvre, there's more to The Best of the Grateful Dead than meets the eyes and ears. An embossed cover the glossy likes of which don't usually adorn such compilations, plus the presence of sound arising from brand new remastering done on the bulk of the thirty two ...

Read "Grateful Dead: Dave's Picks Volume 14 Academy of Music, New York, NY,  3/26/72" reviewed by Doug Collette

by Doug Collette

There was nothing like a Grateful Dead concert and never more so than in New York, but this one comprising Dave's Picks Volume 14, is an especially significant one: the final night (except for a benefit for the Hell's Angels the very next evening) of a six-night run at the Academy of Music on 3/26/72, taking ...

Progeny - Seven Shows from Seventy-Two

Read "Progeny - Seven Shows from Seventy-Two" reviewed by John Kelman

by John Kelman

A sad life truth is that, for far too many people, massive success changes everything. Despite making more money than would last the average family many lifetimes, they go through it like water; they gradually begin to believe all the positive press and massive sales, becoming legends in their own mind; and, perhaps worst of all, ...
