Dick's Picks Volume 4 is a Live - triple album of the band Grateful Dead .

history

The album was recorded while performing on February 13-14, 1970 at Bill Graham's Fillmore East , New York City , and released on March 1, 1996. At the same time, The Allman Brothers Band and Love were also playing at the Fillmore East. They also performed on February 11, but the recordings were not used for the album.

After Dick's Picks Volume 3 is the first single album in the Dick's Picks series, Dick's Picks Volume 4 is the first triple album in the series. It is also the first album to feature the song Mason's Children .

The recordings for the album Workingman's Dead can be seen in time. Some of the songs from these appearances can be heard on the album History of the Grateful Dead, Vol. 1 (Bear's Choice) , as recordings from those two days were also used here.

Grateful Dead divided their concerts into at least two sets; one acoustic and at least one electrical. The performances at Fillmore East consisted of a short electrical, an acoustic and a long electrical part plus an encore. Dick's Picks Volume 4 contains the third set of the two days and two other songs.

In a poll, the bootlegs of February 13th were voted second best and those of February 14th in seventeenth place. The bootlegs for the performance on May 8, 1977 at Barton Hall in Cornell University ( Ithaca ) reached first place. The February 13 versions of Dark Star , The Other One and Turn On Your Love Light were each voted first.

Around 14 minutes of this Dark Star version were used by John Oswald for the album Grayfolded . The edited version is called the 73rd Star Bridge Sonata and is on the second CD called Mirror Ashes .

The name Dick's Pick comes from the official recording archivist of the band Dick Latvala , who started the series and selected the songs for it.

Like the previous albums in the Dick's Pick series, this one also has a caveat emptor warning:

" This compact disc has been digitally remastered directly from the original half track 7.5 ips analog tape. It is a snapshot of history, not a modern professional recording, and may therefore exhibit some technical anomalies and the unavoidable effects of the ravages of time. "

criticism

Dick's Picks Volume 4 received 5 out of 5 stars from Rolling Stone , All Music Guide and The Music Box .

The concert is considered to be one of the best that gave the Grateful Dead.
