The Good Ol' Grateful Thread

So i heard an interview recently with Dick and he said that 10/11/77 from Norman OK was originally in consideration for Dicks Picks 1. Anyone know why it has never been released? Listening to it now i see why it was considered. That Help/Slip/Frank opener is something to behold!

Portions of it were released on Dick’s 29 and Road Trips 1.2, so it is unlikely that the show would ever see a full release given how they handle releases.

Ah ok I didn’t realize that. Makes sense, since the original DP ethos wasn’t necessarily full shows that makes sense it might be picked originally but then never considered after when they switched to full shows if there is some stuff in there they don’t like.

This is an interesting show as it doesn’t really sound like a 76 show nor does it really sound like a Spring 77 show either. New Years shows are their own unique beast. It’s an interesting choice for vinyl.

OGs of this show on wax go for big bucks, but I've never received a good sounding record from Friday Music despite their insane premium price and audiophile claims. The last RSD release sounds so frickin good that I've spun it more than any other I have on wax and I got it for like $60.

I bought the HD CD box set of this from Columbia House 15 years ago. Haha. I'm old.
 
"On a day-to-day basis, the psychic pivot to the Dead is Phil Lesh, the most aggressive purist, the anti-philistine Artist,” wrote Grateful Dead biographer Dennis McNally in his 2002 book A Long Strange Trip: The Inside History of the Grateful Dead. “It is he who most often and most loudly demands that they dance as closely as possible to the edge of the nearest available precipice. Intellectual, kinetic, intense, he was once nicknamed Reddy Kilowatt in recognition of his high mental and physical velocity.”
