Dick's Picks Volume 7 is a Live - triple album of the band Grateful Dead .

history

The songs from the album were recorded from September 9-11, 1974 at Alexandra Palace in London , England , and released on March 4, 1997 with their own label, Grateful Dead Records .

After the last album of Dick's Picks series ( Dick's Picks Volume 5 ) was material used from the 80s, chose Dick Latvala at Dick's Picks Volume 7 again for material from the 1970s, since recording technique in the 1980s could not keep up with the general stage technology and the recorded concerts from the 1970s were easier to edit.

While the two previous albums of the Dick's Picks series each played a complete concert, for Dick's Picks Volume 7 different songs were selected on three consecutive shows. These shows took place between the release of the albums Grateful Dead from the Mars Hotel (1974) and Blues for Allah (1975). The songs Scarlet Begonias and US Blues were used by Grateful Dead from the Mars Hotel , while no song for Blues for Allah has yet been rehearsed and tested live.

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 until his death in 1999.

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. "
