Grateful Dead ' Live ' from
February 1970 at Bill Graham's Fillmore East ! in New York City !! ( 3-CD Set ) !!!!!
This
Dick's
Picks # 4 release from 2/13-14/1970 at the Fillmore East is a viable
candidate for
a " Most Important Performances in Rock 'n Roll History " Award. And that my fellow Fans ... is totally-no-joke. This
event marks the Grateful Dead & The Allman Brothers duking it out in
a
friendly no-holds-barred live concert event at Bill Graham's Fillmore
East in
New York City. Right during Rock n' Roll's Prime, and also the Primes
( arguably ) for each of these Historic Bands. At this specific Time
& Era,
these guys are simply inventing & strongly pushing the boundaries on
how
Rock 'n Roll is supposed to be played properly, in the Improvisational
Live
Format ! These were immaculate performances by both bands on this very
special
Feb. '70 night. The Dead deliver what many consider to be the Quintessential ! " Dark Star " during this fine night, and the delivery all throughout their
performance is heavy & hard. For me personally, growing up as a
kid - this was "" The !!! "" Dark Star ! that all others were measured by & up to.
Mind-blowing, and yet - so eloquent & beautiful too. This nothing short of Legendary ! Show
fits right in the " Workingman's Dead " era
& time-period, so you have brilliant electric-deliveries of fresh
new songs ( eventually true-classics ! ) that
could really go both ways - either acoustic, or electric. You are
treated to both High
Time & Dire Wolf in subtle electric fashion, but you are ( & will
be )
electrified by the musical-pushes of the band in heavy tunes in the
likes of
Alligator, Not Fade Away ( true 70's style ! ) and last, but definitely not
least :
Mason's Children > Caution > Feedback > Bid You Goodnight.
The stars
all-aligned on this night for our beloved Grateful Dead - and the Dead
Fans who were there ! Straight as an Arrow, and out to the Moon !!! Dark Star !!!!!!!
Allman Brothers Band : Fillmore East : February 1970 : Bill Graham's Fillmore
East - New York, NY : 1997 (1970/1997) PolyGram Records / GDM, Inc. ( GDCD 4063 ) : Rare !!!!!
Allman Bros. Band ' Live ' from
February 1970 at Bill Graham's Fillmore East ! in New York City !! ( 1-CD Set ) !!!!!
Wow ... and as for this Allman Bros. release ? It's hard to paint any sort of flowery-picture on this one my fellow Fans ... as this release is just flat-out Mean !!! Liz Reed - Hoochie Coochie - Stateboro - Trouble No More - Outskirts of Town - Whipping Post - Mountain Jam !!!!!!! And, this just isn't any Mt. Jam here - as we're talking 30:48 worth of Guitar Howling ! Rock & Roll. This Dickie Betts & Duane Allman thing here at this stage is just so " There " ... as you could really argue that this Early-'70's period was the true ' Gateway ' to their Prime ! period as far as dualing the Axes goes. Wow !?!!! I mean if you are going to go ahead and release these Fillmore East 2/13,14/70 Dead Shows ( with, arguably " The ! " Dark Star of all Dark Stars ) - I mean why-not just go ahead & release it all ! I distinctly remember being so-incredibly-Grateful ! when I caught word that this Allman's release would quickly follow the Dead release ... with Both ! being of the " GDCD " nature ! An Ampex Cover for the Dead release ( naturally ... being of the " Dick's Picks " Series ) - and then too ... a Scotch Tape ! Cover for the Allman's release !!! So-awesome for those who loves their Rock & Roll packaging just as much as I do. My goodness, as the simply-fact is ... both the Grateful Dead & The Allman Brothers Band were Fierce ! in this so-special period - well knowing that they were beyond " on to something " live ... and, it was just purely in both Band's blood to Deliver !! the goods - and, especially on a stage as important as in Bill Graham's Fillmore East !!! Rock & Roll !!!!! Enjoy !!!!!!!
