Grateful Dead: Authentic Guitar Classics Vol.Hunter has posted the manuscript of an early draft of the song in his archives. Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower My rating pertains to the incredible recording work and performances on The Dead Movie Disc #2.The Annotated "China Cat Sunflower" "A leaf of all colors plays a golden-stringed fiddle."

Hell, in that case, choose one of the shows, remaster/mix and release one of the full shows on CD. They mention another possible bonus DVD to this run/movie because they found so many fine performances of other individual tunes. Given the amount of work they put into restoring these bonus tracks this will be by far the best recordings you will hear of these select performances from this run. Watch the documentary on DVD #2 "the making of the movie" interesting sound restoring/mixing techniques revealed while recovering these gems from the vault. If you watched DVD #1 and noticed the substantial sound quality difference between the movie and the bonus footage on #2. Phenomenal sound quality here on all these bonus tracks. To visualize and hear spectacular sound on this Other One>Spanish Jam>HHTF Jam>Other One, Rent or buy the new DVD of The Grateful Dead movie and play the bonus songs on DVD #2 (this one listed simply as The Other One). Two more (plus a complete Casey) are on Steal Your Face, but sound better on this source. SOURCES: A dozen songs are on the Movie Soundtrack, and the entire Weather Report Suite is on the Beyond Description bonus disc but for complete versions and for the rest, I liked the Barbella source best (due to the clarity). He's Gone>Long Jam Out>Other One>Stella Blue - a mother jam into a classic Stella Then there's a 3rd edit where one chorus iteration is removed! A 2nd edit is jarring: right as the solo starts it jumps to "trouble with you is." on Movie Sndtrk). However, on the latter, the 2nd verse is cut on SYF). Though the Casey Jones isn't one of the year's notable ones, it was used for Steal Your Face and the Movie Soundtrack. There's a great Sugar Magnolia, though the ending is cut from the official release, so you'll need the board. Ladies and gentlemen please join us for a complete tour of the universe right inside your skull. It groks from Rock to Blues to Jazz, to acid jam. The official release calls this He's Gone>Jam>Weirdness>The Other One>Spanish Jam>Mind Left Body Jam>The Other One. It turns into a very bluesy jam, Phil launches The Other One and it's instantly tugged into a mongrel creature taking over 15 minutes to resolve into a true TOO. He's Gone has incredible playing and tone from a song that can be such a trudge sometimes. Both guitar solos are brilliant (the 1st one brilliantly underplayed) for Big River and the piano solo is beautifully rendered. Starts with a sorta crummy Scarlet (crazy Donna wail, all-but-trainwrecked, but the jam is better) and then blows wide into technicolor. The Must Have Been the Roses was used for Steal Your Face, but the best one is the 20th (as with Half-step Mississippi). The Let it Grow is great - better than the one chosen for the movie, from the following night (the entire WRSuite has been released). Average to below average for '74 (apparently the piano lid slammed down during the opener) until the great China Cat>Rider. The 1st set is mostly a wash but the third set (the second Dead set, as the Seastones project was in the middle) is insanity.įirst Set. The Movie Soundtrack, as with the rest of the run, misses half of the best material. The show's kind of weird, mixing the best of the run with some of the worst (albeit in the typical Dead fashion we love). This is, overall, the best show of the band's original "Fare Thee Well" run at Winterland.
