The Grateful Dead: Winterland, June 1977

THE DEAD SATISFY THE SAN FRAN FAITHFUL
Winterland, June 1977: The Complete Recordings Spotlights the Grateful Dead’s
Transcendent Three-Night Run in a Nine-Disc Boxed Set Remastered in HDCD
The Grateful Dead rolled into San Francisco riding a long streak of hot-damn shows during the spring of 1977, a legendary road trip that many Deadheads agree was a tour for the ages. The band didn’t disappoint the hometown faithful when it took to the stage June 7-9 at Winterland Arena – the Dead’s spiritual home – for one of the group’s most beloved hometown runs. As veteran Dead archivist David Lemieux puts it, “A lot of Deadheads say ’77 is their favorite year. And of these shows, the first night is a Top 15, the second is a Top 10, and the third is a Top 3.”
WINTERLAND, JUNE 1977: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS packs every note from those three transcendent nights into nine discs that encompass what might be some of the greatest live Dead ever. A worthy successor to last year’s extraordinary Winterland 1973 collection, this set surges and sighs with the inspired sound of rock’s most unpredictable dance band hard at work, in peak communion.
WINTERLAND, JUNE 1977 is presented in HDCD, mastered from the original soundboard reels and enhanced using cutting-edge audio engineering technology including Plangent Processes’ state-of-the-art audio-time alignment procedure. Handsomely packaged in a custom archival box, the set contains 68 previously unreleased tracks as well as an extensive, full-color booklet featuring rare photos, a thoughtful essay by Rolling Stone senior editor and Winterland veteran David Fricke, and a few other surprise goodies.
On sale now exclusively from www.dead.net for $99.99, WINTERLAND, JUNE 1977 will be shipped by the end of September. Fans who order the set before then will also receive an exclusive bonus disc featuring more than an hour of unreleased music recorded live May 12, 1977 at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre.
At the time of these recordings, the band included guitarist Jerry Garcia, singer Donna Jean Godchaux, keyboardist Keith Godchaux, drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann, bassist Phil Lesh, and guitarist Bob Weir.

Among the Oak & Ash

A really good song, one that stands the test of time, at some point transcends simply being a song and becomes a part our history and culture. We call on these songs in times of joy, sorrow, love and pain. They help us to connect with ourselves and each other.
I’m a big fan of American roots music. I’ve heard countless versions of hundreds of different traditional songs and I’ll tell you the new self-titled album from Among the Oak & Ash stands up among my favorites. They have taken some undeniably great songs including “The Water is Wide” and “Peggy-O,” rolled them around their own very capable musical minds and redelivered them with passion, grace and style.
Among the Oak & Ash was formed when solo artist Garrison Starr joined Josh Joplin to help him fulfill his vision of recording some of the tunes that had profoundly influenced him. The goal of the project, however, was not to try to recreate the old-timey sound but to bring these songs through as they are today, being faithful to the songs without treating them like museum pieces.
The songs that the duo chose demonstrate the timelessness of a great tune and the inescapable nature of human emotion. They also bring forth a new spirit, tapping into elements of the lyrics and melodies that are as meaningful and beautiful today as they were when they were written, all those years ago.
Two of the album’s twelve songs, “Joseph Hillstrom 1879-1915″ and “High, Low and Wide,” were written by Joplin, ten of them are traditional and one, “Bigmouth Strikes Again,” is a last-track bonus, recognizable to fans of ’80s pop as a hit single for The Smiths.
This album will find fans among the folk and roots faithful, but it is also destined to be a great introduction to traditional music for the pop and neo-songsmith crowd, revealing to them the depth and genius behind these deceptively simple, age-old treasures.
