GRATEFUL DEAD: Dick's Picks Vol.2 - Columbus, Ohio 1971 (CD)

(Real Gone Music) 6 tracks

The Grateful Dead's Halloween performance in 1971 is almost enough to make you believe in ghosts. On this night - captured on this single CD release of the entire "Dick's Picks" series - the group played the most ethereal, dreamy and, yes, spooky version of "Dark Star" ever recorded; it's almost as if Jerry Garcia communicates with his forebears (and perhaps John Coltrane) for the first seven minutes of his beautifully textured, contemplative and wistful solo.

Then, after the vocal verse, Garcia, rhythm guitarist Bob Weir and bassist Phil Lesh take turns introducing a new improvisational theme before theme before the band telepathically picks up a two-part theme and Garcia launches into some of the most ecstatic guitar playing ever captured on tape (described by some as a "Tighten Up" jam after Archie Bell & Co jam after the Archie Bell & the Drells song; others hear an embryonic "Eyes of the World").

The rest of the disc is more than fine, with a spirited "Sugar Magnolia," a rare early '70s performance of "St. Stephen" (the last live version until 1976) and a great "Not Fade Away"/"Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" rounding out the 59-minute program. But really, the "Dark Star" is worth the price of this single CD release alone.
