Free Music Notes for One From the Vault
Free Music Review: "This represents the beginning of the release of the vault tapes..."
Hit: 5 Stars
The title of my review comes from Dan Healy and the liner notes to "One From The Vault." It was the predecessor to "Dick's Picks" and the numerous archive releases that came in later years.
"One From The Vault" is notable for several reasons. Keith & Donna Godchaux first appeared on the mammoth "Europe 72," and their first studio album (Wake Of The Flood) was met with enthusiastic reviews as the result of the band breaking new ground with songs like "Weather Report Suite." The second, "Mars Hotel," was not welcomed as kindly by critics, even though it included Dead staples like "Scarlet Begonias," "Ship Of Fools," "U.S. Blues," and "China Doll."
On the third album, the band really stretched and took some risks. It was unusual for a band who had grown more comfortable with the live stage than the recording studio to invest the kind of effort they did into "Blues For Allah." The album generated what became one of the strongest pieces in their live shows for years to come, the "Help On The Way / Slipknot! / Franklin's Tower" trilogy. Equally satisfying was "Crazy Fingers," with its reggae overtones and "lazy hazy summer day" vocal from Jerry. "Blues For Allah" sounds like weirdness from the Brian Wilson sessions for "Smile"...trippy instrumentation and druid-like harmony vocals...not exactly "China Cat / Rider" stuff. The band took more than a few risks, and it was the last time they would release a studio album of this nature.
The 8/13/75 show at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall was used to showcase the "Blues For Allah" album. The entire album's performed, although not in its original sequence...in between "Allah's" tracks you'll find several Dead concert faves. Mickey Hart had returned to the band, from his self-imposed 1971-1974 exile. All of the band members were performing at the top of their game.
The next album, "Terrapin Station," was crafted under the auspices of Keith Olsen, perhaps best known for ushering in the Buckingham-Nicks era of Fleetwood Mac. After "Blues For Allah," Arista Records wanted a hit.
So enjoy the Dead, in their element, at the edge of their weirdness and brilliance. "One For The Vault" may not meet everyone's expectations of the band, but that's what the band was all about, right?
