Dave s Picks 4 Features Unheard Fall 76 Soundboard
Where does the time go? Is this really the end of Year One of the phenomenally successful Dave s Picks series? Why, it seems like only yesterday that we were promising to blow your little minds with our initial offering from 1977. Well, it s time to dip into that Golden Decade one mo time, as we unveil Dave s Picks Volume 4: College of William Mary, 9/24/76.
That s right, rabid collectors you read that date correctly. We have located the un-circulated soundboard master reels of this highly regarded show and are pleased as psychedelic punch to send it your way for your listening and dancing pleasure
The Dead had played a pair of fine shows at William Mary located in the history-rich town of Williamsburg, Virginia raise your hand if you own a three-cornered hat from your visit to Colonial Williamsburg when you were 10 three years earlier 9/11-12/73 , and obviously dug the vibe enough to warrant a return during one of their comeback tours following their hiatus. The concert at William Mary Hall was the second show of the Dead s brief fall East and Midwest swing, and it stands as one of the strongest outings from this period its best moments up to the level of the following 9/25 and 9/28 shows that made up the superb Dick s Picks Vol. 20 released in 2001 and the October 9 and 10 Oakland Stadium shows that became Dicks Picks Vol. 33 2004 .
The first set is packed with goodies. The bouncy Sugaree stretches to about 10 minutes, and Looks Like Rain is a true thing of beauty. Cassidy finds Bob and Donna in lovely harmony, while Big River has plenty of kick. But the real gold in this first set is to be found in the 21-minute closing sequence of Playing in the Band gt Supplication gt Playing reprise. This was one of only two times in the Dead s history that the full, sung Supplication appeared without its usual partner, Lazy Lightning, and it s a wonderful version. It emerges quite naturally out of one of those drifty but intense Playing jams so characteristic of 76, builds nicely, and then goes full-throttle for a couple of minutes, before floating back to the Playing. Niiiiice
Following one of Bob s more humorous exhortations to take a step back in which he urges folks to give each other a sharp jab with their elbows the band kicks into the still-new Might As Well, followed by another 76 introduction, Samson and Delilah. A couple of songs later, they roll into Help on the Way gt Slipknot and the latter finds the whole band conversing at a very high level as they negotiate that piece s many strange turns. Bill and Mickey take over for a spell before the whole ensemble reconvenes for a breakneck return to Slipknot and then a loping entrance into Franklin s Tower. The Music Never Stopped surprises coming out of Franklin s and then Jerry pilots an emotional Stella Blue another highlight. A couple of rockers bring the show to satisfying end.
As most of you know by now, because of the large number of people who bought the full year s subscription to the limited edition Dave s Picks series, we have only a few thousand copies of the 3-CD Dave s Picks Vol. 4 for sale individually. So you better jump on it pronto or you will forever be filled with that awful feeling of regret.
As always, the original tapes have been lovingly mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman, and the beautifully designed package includes a colorful booklet with photos and a historical essay in this case by the esteemed curator of the Grateful Dead Archive at UC Santa Cruz, Nicholas Meriwether. BJ
