The 1969 GRATEFUL DEAD comes ALIVE
Taking in complex improvisations, blues, feedback and Pigpen howling and snarling through Turn On Your Love Light, it was a revelation. It s still the most thrilling, compelling document of this most magisterial of bands...
Among the finest of rock s live documents, LIVE DEAD is a snapshot of the Grateful Dead circa 1969, applying the free-jazz lessons of John Coltrane to their finely-tuned, manic, and flowing boogie. It was the first released piece of evidence that the live Dead were a wholly different, multi-headed animal than the one that recorded in the studio. LIVE DEAD was also the culmination of the group s evolution into what s now considered the vintage San Francisco sound--having perfected it, the Grateful Dead would soon leave it for fresher musical pastures.
While each of LIVE DEAD s selections calls to mind a specific trick from up the band s sleeve, the opening four songs later dubbed the holy quartet by Deadheads best indicates the Dead s burning trajectory. Dark Star lays out a wide-open musical terrain, allowing the band to leap anywhere from its minimalist-riff launching pad and its two verses of T.S. Eliot-inspired psychedelic prose. Here, it is a dark-hued and majestic sea of ambience and intensity. St. Stephen explodes like a shiny metallic cloud-burst, Bob Weir s fervent vocals carrying it like a holy torch. The Eleven, a thunderous fury of a composition based on The Twelve Days Of Christmas and played in 11/4 time, continues the rumbling. By the time Pigpen ends the continuous sermon with a raucous sci-fi-R B take on Bobby Blue Bland s Turn On Your Lovelight, the Dead have seemingly sailed every corner of their musical universe and crash-landed with aplomb
