Dick's Picks, Vol. 16: Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA, 11/8/69
: :The people say that this one was one of the late Dick Latvala's favorite shows--and since the Dead's tape archivist was the fountainhead of the Dick's Picks series, you better believe it's a solid choice. The first of the series to feature a 1960s performance, Volume 16 catches the band on the cusp of a transitional period. The first part of this Fillmore Auditorium gem showcases five songs from Workingman's Dead, which wouldn't be released until spring of the following year. The band is feeling ...

Handel - Messiah / Vyvyan · Sinclair · Vickers · Tozzi · Royal PO · Beecham
: essential recording:Sir Thomas Beecham's Messiah has become notorious among baroque purists (like this writer) for embodying the worst excesses of pre-1960 Handel performance: ponderous tempos, stentorian opera singers, huge lumbering choruses and orchestras, crashing cymbals, clanging triangles.... Well, we'll need a new straw man: this performance is WONDERFUL. Jon Vickers and Giorgio Tozzi negotiate Handel's writing surprisingly well; Jennifer Vyvyan takes to it naturally. The chorus and orchestra (yes, including trombones, tuba, triangle, and cymbals) may obscure the part-writing, but they fill the music ...

Dick's Picks, Vol. 18: Dane County Coliseum, Madison, WI, 2/3/78 & Uni Dome, Univeristy of Northern Iowa, Cedar Falls, IA, 2/5/78
: :Volume 18 is the only one of the first 24 Dick's Picks to feature music from 1978, culling from two (maybe three) February dates in the Midwest. Following an artistic peak that lasted most of the 1970s, the band sounded more ragged and raucous in 1978 than they had during the previous few years, trading in some of their more textured, willowy tendencies for greater aggression and abandon. The centerpiece here is the half-hour 'Scarlet'/'Fire' from the Cedar Falls, Iowa, show, which is followed soon ...

Dick's Picks, Vol. 11: Stanley Theatre, Jersey City, NJ, 9/27/72
: :Out on the road without Pigpen, their original spiritual leader who was well on his way to death by drink, the Dead moved into a new phase in the fall of 1972. Piano player Keith Godcheaux gave them a more melodic, grounded sound, which was especially beneficial on the newer Amerciana-type material they'd unveil, but also gave them a jazzier feel on their freer explorations as well. This tight New Jersey concert treads similar ground to the Europe '72 collection (minus the Pigpen tunes), an ...
