- from Winter Tour'71!! And to our Collective & Delightful Grateful-Amazement!
- it's not the 12/4/1971 Show, or even the 12/5/1971 Show - but instead... As isn't Life' Still' just chocked Full! For all of those " Good Ol' " Grateful Dead Fans! Out there to' Fall-In' for Dave's Picks 22!!!
For certain - as the very-first second I saw that this'71 Felt Forum Shows run would be " DP # 22 " - I found myself pondering in sheer Amazement! As hey, let's face it - at least as far as the " Last Millennium " went - if you wanted a Sweet-Taste! Live Power & Precision on'71 Winter Tour at the Felt Forum...
You really had no choice but to go for either 12/4/1971 or 12/5/1971 Shows #1 & #2 (of 4). As the true fact & reality of the matter was (for, what pretty much what seemed like' Ever') that this 12/7/1971 (+ 12/6/1971) Show(s) were simply not available, or really... Attainable in any matter - at least as far as I knew. I combed Trader's list after lists - after lists hunting for these 12/7/71 (& 12/6/91) Show(s) - for years... And the hunt was always to no avail.In fact, I even distinctly remember having conversations with some real serious Tapers & Tape-Traders too back, in those Glorious! - and, the simple word on the street was that no-one had, or had even' heard' these' Other' Shows from this Huge!
Winter 1971 Fall Tour stand at the Felt Forum. And, as it goes without even saying...
These Shows were the' Last' Shows of this 4-Show run!!!! To put it bluntly, just go & track down the 12/5/71 " Dark Star " you'll be glad you did! - as it speaks very loudly & very clearly why this is an Absolute! My guess initially like, well over 25-years ago...Was that the available 12/4/71 Show circulated fast (mainly) because of the " Run Rudolph Run " - and the 12/5/71 Show circulated obviously... Because it was an FM Broadcast! Live & Direct from WNEW-New York - if, my memory does serve me correctly. So, the only question left was for sure the obvious one... What about the 12/6/71 & 12/7/71 Shows??
12/7/1971 (Disc 1 & Disc 2) >>> Sugaree - Jack Straw - Run Rudolph Run - Cumberland - Casey Jones - Sugar Mag! Ramble On Rose - Big Boss Man - B. Women - Uncle - Smokestack Lightning! - Deal - Truckin' - NFA > GDTRFB > NFA - Sat Nite! >>> Big Railroad - Playin > Cryptical > Drums > Other One!
> Bobby McGee > Other One!! & Uncle John's Band!! And really, on & On! Does this'71 Live-Dead Roller-Coster of Rock & Roll go!!! As this truly is one of the Gems! Release series - and especially...For all of the " Good Ol' Grateful Dead " Fans out there. In fact, I'm not so sure a better call from the Vault in all of " 1971 " could even be made? Well, you know - either that... Or I'm just So! From ear-to-ear with a Grin!
Garcia Guitar work that your Dead Fan Heart! Just less than 6-months as well before - Europe'72!
- the'72 Academy Of Music! Run, and all of that other Grate! And, as a final note too to sum up my overall thoughts on this one - as far as G. The Austin & TCU (Road Trips) release from Fall Tour'71 - and in listening to This! It was much of that same Awesome! Feeling - and honestly, maybe even more-so... Considering that this is 12/7/71 Felt Forum!! Shows that we are talking-about here.
