Free Music Notes for Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack

Free Music Review: 5 Stars

'74 is by far one of my favorite performance years in the Dead's touring history. other greats are '68, '70, '72, and '77. This is strange considering I was born in '79, but thats why I love the Dead's commitment to releasing archival live recordings, because I can familiarize my self with every era. I have over 100 Dead albums and live performances and I can definately say this is a top five collection. This is collection of the Dead at their jazziest.

Disc 1:
The set begins with well played versions of US Blues and One More Saturday Night just as they are featured in the Grateful Dead Movie. We are then treated to an energetic China>Rider. Eyes of the world is jazzy and flows nicely into a peaceful China Doll. It that isn't enough we get a nearly 32 minute version of "Playing In the Band." The jam section of this tune is other worldly and never dull.

Disc 2:
Scarlet Begonias is a welcome addition to any collection. Jerry's guitar playing is always sooting on this tune and I actually enjoy Donna's ooohing on this version, it kind of gives the tune an ethereal feel. The rest of the cd is all jam, beginning with He's Gone through some strange and spacey stuff that leads nicely into a rumbling version of The Other One which calms into a beautifully performed Stella Blue.

Disc 3:
This disc begins with a great version of Weather Report Suite. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe '73-'74 was the only time this tune was performed in its entirety. Later versions just began at Let It Grow. This disc is also a jam heavy affair with an excellent Dark Star, Morning Dew, and the always great combo of Not Fade Away and GDTRFB.

Disc 4:
Uncle John's Band is a great performance as usual. However disc 4 contains the collection's only low point in Tomorrow Is Forever. This tune and its performance just plain sucks. The rest of the disc is flawless. The jam begins with Sugar Magnolia and continues into another version of He's Gone. This is where the jamming becomes very interesting. As He's Gone closes it flows nicely into a Caution Jam that teases at Truckin' before moving toward space. The drums follow before we hit an early performance of Space which does decsend back to the Truckin' that was hinted at earlier. The performance is pure improvisational magic.

Disc 5:
After all the great music contained on the first four discs its hard to imagine that disc 5 could be any better, but it is. Mickey Hart rejoins the band after nearly a three year absence and the band is clearly energized by Mickey's presence. It truly shows in the percussive performances of Not Fade Away and The Other One. These are sandwiched between portions of another fantastic Playin' In the Band.

All in all I just can't get enough of this collection. So much of the jamming is truly exploratory and you can hear something new every time you listen. At nearly six hours in length most probably won't listen to it all in one sitting, but it is fantastic nonetheless. Buy this collection along with Dick's Picks 4 and you will have two of the greatest live albums that the greatest live band of all time have released. (Dick's Picks 4 Dark Star>Thats It For the Other One>Turn On Your Lovelight combine for ninety minutes of continuous jammed out ecstasy. nuff said)

Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack Poster

In October 1974 -- at the peak of their global fame -- the Grateful Dead played five consecutive shows at San Francisco's legendary Winterland. Those dates were recorded and filmed for the 1977 motion picture release The Grateful Dead Movie. This five-disc soundtrack presents all of the music from the movie, plus 32 bonus tracks, including 20 songs exclusive to this set.

Many historic jams that were edited down for the film are restored in their entirety, including the 60-minute blockbuster jam featuring "Sugar Magnolia," "He's Gone," "Jam," "Caution Jam," "Drums," "Space," "Truckin'," "Black Peter," and "Sunshine Daydream." Also included is the now-complete 32-minute "Playing In The Band," cut to half that length on screen.

A 24-page booklet contains rare photos and memorabilia from the film.

More than just a significantly expanded soundtrack to the new DVD edition of the band's 1974 documentary, the five discs here (taken from a five-night stand at San Francisco's fabled Winterland in October) also document the end of an early Dead era, capturing extensive highlights from the band's final gigs before beginning a performance hiatus that would last until 1976. Typically expansive in scope, yet tightly focused in the interplay of its performances, the anthology kicks off with a brisk slate of upbeat early favorites and then settles back as the band wends its way through spacious, jazzy jams ("Eyes of the World," "Playing in the Band," "Weather Report Suite"), roots-conscious workouts, and the fervent mysticism of Deadhead touchstones like "Dark Star." The recordings also capture the return to action of drummer Mickey Hart after a three-plus-year layoff, and showcase separate percussion solo interludes from both Hart and Bill Kreutzmann. Containing a considerable number of rich live takes that failed to make the DVD set's bonus outtake disc, this is a an expansive, riveting evocation of the band's early '70s prime--a must for any dedicated Deadhead. --Jerry McCulley
