Dick's Picks Vol. 3 Limited edition

Dick's Picks Vol. 3 Pembroke Pines, Florida 5/22/77 Grateful Dead archivist Dick Latvala considered this show to be the finest outing on the entire Spring 1977 tour, and, as any Dead Head knows, that is high praise indeed! At the time this was released on CD, the Dead weren't sure a market existed (ha!) for three and four-CD packages, so this four-LP set leaves off eight songs from the show, but consider what songs are here: a phenomenal "Help on the Way"/"Slipknot!"/"Franklin's Tower" comes after one of the definitive renditions of "Sugaree" and a terrific "The Music Never Stopped," with the late, great Phil Lesh's slithering bass leading the way in recording engineer's Betty Cantor-Jackson's mix. But sides E, F & G offer one of those sublime (and, in this case, never to be repeated) sequences of songs that only the Dead could pull off in concert; after the rarely-performed "Sunrise," a medley of "Estimated Prophet"/"Eyes of the World"/"Wharf Rat"/"Terrapin Station" (a truncated version two months before it's official release)/"Morning Dew" brings the show home, as Jerry Garcia's soloing on "Morning Dew" reaches heights seldom attained even by him. This was a knockout release on it's first very limited vinyl run (check out those resale prices), and we've improved on it with a fresh mastering job by Jeffrey Norman (in his own words, "the sound is better than the original heard on the Brookvale release"), and lacquer cutting by Clint Holley and Dave Polster at Well Made Music. Pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at the plant we've been using to great acclaim for all of our Grateful Dead releases, Gotta Groove Records
