2/5/1978 : 3 CD : Uni-Dome U. of N.Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA : Original 1st Printing
Grateful
Dead Burning-Up the Midwest on the 1978 Spring Tour ... at the Dane
County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin at the University of
Northern Iowa - Red-Hot 78 G.D.
I
initially purchased this DP 18 3-CD release at the merchandise booth
inside a Ratdog show at the
Roseland Theater back in 2003 I think? maybe 2002? . I browsed
through the
Ratdog attire, and decided instead to opt for one of the newer Dick s
Picks
-- plus, the line of like 50 people behind me looked pretty sweaty
anxious to acquire their new Dog-Tour-Dyes Boy, did I make the
right choice -
seriously... these 2/3 2/5 1978 Shows are flat-out Rockers I remember
first listening to this 2/3 2/5 1978 Dick s Picks immediately the day
after I bought it I also distinctly remember being especially drawn-in instantly to the
Liner Notes photos taken by B.
Polanski, I believe? of Garcia sporting his black MARS T-Shirt with
the Black
Ray Bans and his Irwin Tiger Guitar firmly in their rightful places. Though I m
generally a stickler for complete show releases, I must say that I am
always
intrigued when a couple/few shows two 2 in this case are compiled
together for a
professional release. Because when you take a really Hot Tour run like
this
one, and mix the songs/sets -- you know you are often in for a real treat. I mean after
all, this
is Mr. Latvala assembling the goods I personally look at Spring Tour
1978 as a
somewhat natural extension of 1977, just a little extra studio-time
together
for the band - which can only help Plus, from a timetable perspective
- these
February 78 shows are a lot closer to October 77, than they are to
February
78 which marks Keith Donna leaving the band . To me
personally, the
1/22/78 MacCourt show is 78 Grateful Dead at its Pre- Shakedown
Street best,
and these two shows are an audible continuation of those tones,
interplay
general peak-magic synergy that the band was finding. Bertha gt Good

cook -- as does Passenger , Deal Music Never Stopped. You are
also
treated to a unique Dupree s kick-down from Jerry too. On Disc 2, the
Estimated
gt Eyes gt Playin gt Wheel gt Playin arguably rules this set, I
initially felt? But then Disc 3 just Crushes your speaker cones with
some real big league stuff long, spaced-out intricate song versions too --
like
Samson, Scarlet gt Fire Truckin gt Drums Space gt Other One This is
Grateful Dead to behold, and it s no wonder why this is one of the more
popular
Dick s Picks releases. I think I made the right choice that day, as I
don t
think a Ratdog tee could have quite done to my ears mind what the
music in this 3-CD Set has over the last decade -- no offense at all
