Free Music Notes for Fillmore East: April 1971

Free Music Review: 3 stars but it wont let me change it :(
Hit: 4 Stars

This release is quite troubling for me. 1971 was an interesting year for GD. Mickey Hart had left only a couple months before, and the band was still adjusting. Billy hadn't yet gotten his masterful handle on drumming solo that he would later (peaking imo in 1974), and the jams sound a little empty as a result. This really pains me because the jams at the end of disc 3 and 4 are unique and seemingly interesting, yet I cannot help but feel they just aren't up to the truly orgasmic level the dead are capable of. Another unfortunate thing that pops up multiple times in this release is Jerry's guitar going out of tune on several occasions. And not just a little out of tune; sometimes, like on Ripple, the song is ruined for me because of this. A beautiful delicate song like that really loses its impact when its out of tune. I've complained a lot so far, so as for what's good; the sound is fantastic, as is to be expected from a vault release like this. There are still some fantastic parts of this release to be salvaged, although considering the price tag it may not be worth it. If you love the dead, you'll most likely love this release. If you're more casual, looking for something good to pick up, go for something else. Any vault release form 1972 eclipses this release, or travel back a year and pick up either dick's picks from 1970

Fillmore East: April 1971 Poster

This four-disc set documents the Dead's monumental five-night final run at New York's Fillmore East in April 1971. Coming from the same period as the live Skull and Roses album, it finds the band at its most sinewy--without second drummer Mickey Hart and without much in the way of Pigpen's keyboard work. What stands out here, beyond the intense, emotionally charged yet somewhat playful performances, is the strength and diversity of the repertoire. In addition to the plethora of newer originals, we hear a number of Pigpen's beloved blues shouters: "Next Time You See Me," "Ain't It Crazy," "I'm a King Bee," "Turn on Your Love Light," "It Hurts Me Too," "Hard to Handle," and "In the Midnight Hour." Also of note are readings of lesser-played material such as "Second That Emotion," "Ripple," "Sing Me Back Home," and "Alligator." All in all, it's a worthy celebration of one of the Dead's most legendary venues, as well as a prime slice of vintage Dead music. --Marc Greilsamer
