The Wire (8/01, p.57) - "...They're up and on the fly, running through a mostly uplifting songset that underlined how astutely they mixed and matched originals and covers....Truly on..."

Title Note

DICK'S PICKS VOLUME TWENTY-TWO is the twenty-second in a series of archival live Dead CDs that were overseen by the late Dick Latvala. It differs from the band's "From The Vault" series in that the "Dick's Picks" releases do not feature entire concerts and are mastered from two- and four-track recordings, rather than eight- and sixteen-track recordings. Latvala was the official keeper of the Dead's tape archives; the Grateful Dead organization describes him as "one of the original Dead tapers".

Grateful Dead: Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir (vocals, guitar); Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (vocals, harmonica, organ, percussion); Phil Lesh (vocals, bass); Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann (drums).

Recorded live at Kings Beach Bowl, Lake Tahoe, California on February 23 & 24, 1968.

All tracks have been digitally remastered using HDCD technology.

These West Coast recordings from early 1968 capture the Grateful Dead in raw and rare form. Keyboardist Tom Constanten had not yet joined the group, so his adventurous playing and compositional influence were not yet a factor. Instead, singer Pigpen was still manning the organ. Consequently, the sound ranges closer to the bluesy, hard-edged garage-band sound found on the band's first album. This approach is typified by the crunch of the opener "Viola Lee Blues" and Pigpen's earthy delivery of the Elmore James blues classic "It Hurts Me Too."

That said, these recordings don't lack for instrumental flights of fancy. Psychedelic jam vehicles such as "The Eleven" were already in the band's repertoire, and the venerated improv vehicle "Dark Star" makes its live debut here. Jerry Garcia's fleet-fingered guitar expositions shine brightly on these tunes, and bear just as much conviction as his more concise statements on the bluesier selections.
