The band includes Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Ron "Pigpen" McKernan. Released on CD in March, 1999. For detailed info, check: http://vidkid.com/McCree.html or http://www.geckographics.com/GeckoGraphics/mccrees.html The Emergency Crew - The Emergency Crew (Autumn ) The pre-Warlocks Grateful Dead recorded this on November 3, 1965 as a demo record at Golden State studios in San Francisco for DJs Tom Donahue's and Bobby Mitchell's Autumn label. Mother's was a club run by the two DJ's. The recordings was made on a two track tape, at 7 1/2 ips.

Golden State Recorders was located at 665 Harrison Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, 415-781-6306. The club Mother's is presently The Stone, which is across from The Mabuhay Gardens. The Acid Test: A Sound City Production - Ken Kesey and others ( ) From the front cover: "Shortly before he disappeared into limbo, or even Mexico Novelist Ken Kesey and his "trips" buddies recorded an album at Sound City Recorders on Sixth ST. What makes this an item possible, is that Ken et al were high on LSD at the time, and kept getting higher as the recording progressed. The album is titled "the Acid Test" -Kesey's idea-and will be priced at $5.95. In fact, the only thing ordinary about this record is that the wole's in the middle..." (Herb Caen). The recording was made at the San Francisco State College "Acid Test" of October 1 to 2, 1966. It includes the Grateful Dead playing in background as Ken Kesey and other talk about various things. The tracks are: (side one) Ken Kesey interviewed by Frank Frey; Ken Babbs and Harmonica; Take Two - Ken Kesey; Bull; Peggy The Pistol; (side two) One Way Ticket (a classic!); Bells & Fairies; Levitation; Trip "X"; The End. Printed on the label is: "The Acid Test - a sound city production - as photographed and shown in "Look" magazine - Recorded from 14 hours of the actual Trip." On the cover is a small photo of Jerry Garcia, playing guitar in studio, while Ken Kesey is on the microphone. The album had only a black and white cover pasted on the front, and no back cover. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test - var. (United Fan Club Society, Goteborg, Sweden, Stellar Music Special, Series 1, Show 1, SMS001-1) A record (in all likelihood a bootleg) from the San Francisco State College "Acid Test" of October 1 and 2, 1966. It is mostly Ken Babbs (?) talking in the college radio station's studio, interspersed with a few seconds of what could be Garcia on guitar, as well as parts of the Garcia, Kesey, et al interviews on NBC's "Tomorrow" show of May 7, 1981. Released in March, 1988. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane (RCA LSP-3766) Jerry Garcia is listed on the back cover as "musical and spiritual director" and plays high electric lead on "Today" (recorded November 2, 1966), and flat top acoustic guitar on "Plastic Fantastic Lover", "My Best Friend", and "Comin' Back To Me". Garcia also rearranged "Somebody To Love". Garcia may have played the rhythm "chocks" on "3/5ths Of A Mile". Most of the recording sessions for this album took place in November, 1966. Garcia played a role in naming the album. Surrealistic Pillow - Jefferson Airplane (RCA LPM-3766) The album was also released in mono. Surrealistic Pillow - Gold Disc - Jefferson Airplane (RCA 66598) A single CD release of the mono and stereo mixes of the album. Released in July, 1995. Birth Of The Dead - Grateful Dead (Rhino/WB 74391) This two CD release, taken from the 12 CD "The Golden Road" box set, was released on March 25, 2003. The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. W 1689) Their first LP. The Grateful Dead were signed by Joe Smith of Warner Brothers Records. This was released in mono. The original releases are on the gold Warner Brothers label. Released on March 17, 1967. The cryptic lettering above the words "Grateful Dead" reads: "In the land of the dark, the ship of the sun is driven by the Grateful Dead". The album was recorded on four-track tape, mostly live, with some overdubs of vocals. Most of the tracks were recorded in late January and early February, 1967, in a span of five days (Monday night through Friday night, mixed on Saturday afternoon) at RCA Studio A in Hollywood, CA, and produced by Dave Hassinger, a Warner Brothers staff production engineer, with Dick Bogert engineering. The single for the album, "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" was recorded later, in February, 1967, at Coast Recorders, at 960 Bush Street in San Francisco. This tune had about 60 takes; the album version includes an overdub of Bill Kreutzmann drumming on the strings of Garcia's guitar while Garcia is fingering the chords. On the album, "The Golden Road" is faded at 2:18, but it is about one minute longer. "The Golden Road" was the working title for this album, but was changed. The founders of the Grateful Dead's Fan Club, "The Golden Road To Unlimited Devotion", were Sue Swanson, Connie Furtado, and Bob Matthews. Matthews later engineered and produced a number of the band's live and studio releases. The Fan Club sold posters, buttons, and Pigpen t-shirts for $2.50 (Janis Joplin owned a red one). "Alice D. Millionaire" (about Augustus Stanley Owsley, a.k.a. "Bear") with Pigpen on lead vocals, "Lindy", and "Tastebud", a blues number featuring Pigpen on vocals, were recorded at this time, but were not released; versions of these songs appear on "The Golden Road" box set. "McGannahan Skjellyfetti" was the pseudonym used by the band as the author's name for the group compositions ("The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" and "Cream Puff War"). "McGannahan Skjellyfetti" was based on a character, "Skujellifeddy McGranehan", the protagonist's 'literary agent', in Kenneth Patchen's "Memoirs Of A Shy Pornographer", published in 1945: "May I call you Skujellifeddy? Mr. McGranehan's sort of awkward." "Cold Rain And Snow" comes from a fragment that Garcia learned from banjo player Obray Ramsey. "Viola Lee Blues" is adapted from the Noah Lewis version; the Jim Kweskin Jug Band had released a version that is closer to the Noah Lewis version. "Viola Lee Blues" is an "11 1/2 bar blues" in that the Dead's version, throughout, adds or removes bars from the "standard" 12 bar blues form. A number of the songs on this album were shortened to make the whole album fit within the limitations of the vinyl album medium at the time, at approximately 38 minutes total. Recorded around the time of this album, but never released, was Phil Lesh's "No Left Turn Unstoned", commonly called "Cardboard Cowboy". Garcia played a cherry red Guild "Starfire" electric guitar during the recording sessions for this album. The record release party was on St. Patrick's Day, 1967 at the Fugazi Hall in the North Beach area of San Francisco. The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1689) Their first LP. This was also released in stereo. The original releases are on the gold Warner Brothers label. Released on March 17, 1967. The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead ( Warner Bros.

On the front cover, the Warner Brothers catalog number has been replaced by the Edsel catalog number. The back cover artwork is slightly larger than on the original US release, the photos are poorly reproduced, and instead of the Fan Club info, it contains record company info. The Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead (Rhino/WB 74392) This remastered version of the album, taken from the 12 CD "The Golden Road" box set, was released on CD in February, 2003. Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1749) The original mix is out of print. Released on July 18, 1968. Some of the early pressings of the album include the phrase "the faster we go, the rounder we get" pressed in the vinyl around the center. In November, 1967, the band began recording the album in Los Angeles, using eight-track tape recorders, with David Hassinger. During these sessions, "Turn On Your Lovelight", "Death Don't Have No Mercy", "The Other One", "New Potato Caboose", "Alligator" and "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)" had been recorded. Hassinger quit the project after he was asked by Weir to provide "the sound of thick air" in "Born Cross-Eyed". The basic music ("Cryptical Envelopment", "The Other One", "Alligator") for the album was taken from the Dead's performance on St. Valentine's Day, 1968, at the Carousel Ballroom, in San Francisco. It is possible that the basic music for "New Potato Caboose" and "Born Cross-Eyed" comes from the February 3, 1968 show at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. A portion of "Feedback" is from the January 22, 1968 show at Eagles Auditorium, Seattle, Washington. A 13 second portion of "Feedback", from February 24, 1968 was used (see "Dick's Picks Volume 22", disc two for the siren sound heard at about 3:17 in order to find it). The sequence for side two has "Alligator" (from the February 14, 1968 show at the Carousel Ballroom) into "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)" (from the November 10, 1967 show at the Shrine Exposition), and with some of "Feedback" from the March 17, 1968 show at the Carousel Ballroom. This basic music was then layered with various live and studio recordings. Dan Healy, Jerry Garcia, and Phil Lesh did the final mixing at Coast Recorders. Phil Lesh plays the eight bar trumpet solo (based on Miles Davis' "Sketches Of Spain") during the "...from time to time..." chorus on "Born Cross-Eyed". "Alligator" was written by Robert Hunter while he was working as a portrait artist in New Mexico, in February, 1966. Over the years, the album has been released many times, and the cover colors can range from a deep purplish-blue to a deep bluish-purple. Written across top, in a "flame" font, is: "Grateful Dead Anthem Of The Sun". The songs are: "That's It For The Other One" (7:41) (includes "Cryptical Envelopment", "Quadlibet For Tender Feet", "The Faster We Go, The Rounder We Get", "We Leave The Castle"), "New Potato Caboose" (8:25), "Born Cross-Eyed" (2:06); "Alligator" (11:20), "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)" (9:30). Although "The Other One" is one suite, the names of the songs were made up to increase the number of "songs" on the album, thereby getting the band more money. Bill Walker created the cover. Each of the band members is represented in the image. Left to right across the top are Weir, Garcia, Lesh, and McKernan. Left to right across the bottom are Kreutzmann and Hart. The figure in the middle is Constanten, more or less. Walker provides a detailed description of the painting, its creation, and its symbolism at http://www.billzart.net/ "New Potato Caboose" was written in mid-1967, some time after the Dead's first album was released. The "Spanish Jam" segment was inspired by the horn lines from "Solea" on the "Sketches Of Spain" album by Miles Davis. On the original mix, one notices that at the start of Side One: the organ is in the right channel and Garcia's voice is on the left; in the "phased" vocals part, Garcia's voice is in the center; afterwards, Garcia's voice remains in the center; and, when the drums start, they are panned to the left before they change and are in the center; the end of "Born Cross-Eyed" fades out and that side of the album ends. On the original mix, one notices on side two during the transition of the "Alligator" vocals part into the live drums part, that the piano, in the center, fades out into the drums. The album is a musical collage taken from studio (September, 1967 at RCA Studio A in Hollywood; October, 1967 at American Studios in North Hollywood; December, 1967 at Century Sound in New York and Olmstead Studios in New York) and live (November 10 and 11, 1967 at Shrine Exposition, Los Angeles; January 20, 1968 at Eureka; January 26 and 27, 1968 at Eagles Auditorium, Seattle; February 2 and 3, 1968 at the Crystal Ballroom, Portland; February 14, 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco; February 22, 23, and 24, 1968 at the Kings Beach Bowl in Lake Tahoe; March 15, 16, 17, 29, 30, and 31, 1968 at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco) recordings. Portions of "New Potato Caboose" appear to be from the March 17, 1968 show. The band's name and the album title appear across the top in purplish fuschia "flame" letters. The list price for the album was $4.79. Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. ) Released on eight-track tape. Program One consists of: "That's It For The Other One", "I. Cryptical Envelopment", "II. Quadlibet For Tenderfeet", "III. The Faster We Go, The Rounder We Get". Program Two consists of: "IV.

Anthem Of The Sun - The Grateful Dead (Bell Song SWL 1153, 1969) This album is probably a bootleg release made in Taiwan. The record is pressed in red translucent vinyl with a blue with white print label. The label contains the album information in English and what appears to be Chinese. The front cover is white with a blue (almost turquoise) print of the band mandala, with a bit the bottom cut off, the STEREO in arrows across the top, and has Chinese characters across the bottom. The back cover has the fish-eye band photo in color, and the album information, only in English. The cover sleeve is made of thin paper in a plastic sleeve, and it opens to the left (i.e., when looking at the front cover, the opening is on the left side). This album has the original mix. The Tenth Anniversary Albums - Warner Bros Seven Arts Inc - var. (Warner Bros. Seven Arts PRO 289) A promotional release for the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the label, containing songs by various artists signed to the label.

Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Brothers K46021) The album was released in the UK. Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Brothers Seven Arts BP 8522) This record, released in 1971 in Japan, is pressed on red vinyl. The liner notes on the back are in Japanese. Toshiba Musical Industries pressed records on red vinyl as part of their "Ever Clean" process that used red vinyl and special ingredients and was intended to prevent static buildup on the vinyl. Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1749) The album was remixed in September, 1971, and the remix was released in late 1972/early 1973. It has the letters RE after the master numbers pressed into the vinyl around the label. On the remix, one notices that at the start of Side One: Garcia's voice is in the center; in the "phased" vocals part, Garcia's voice is in the center and the acoustic guitar is very prominent in the left channel; afterwards, Garcia's voice remains in the center; and, when the drums start, they are not panned, but are in the center; the end of "Born Cross-Eyed" fades out, there is the big chord, and that side of the album ends. On the remix, one notices on side two that the vocals during "Alligator" were given additional phase and echo and that during the transition of the "Alligator" vocals part into the live drums part, that the piano, in the center, ends abruptly (i.e.,does not fade out into the drums). Anthem Of The Sun - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1749) The remix was also released around 1975-77 with a white cover instead of the purple one. It has the letters RE after the master numbers pressed into the vinyl around the label and it says "remixed" on lower left of back cover. Some cassette releases of this album also sport the white cover. Some copies of this release have pressed into the vinyl "WS-1-1749 LW2" (on side one) and "WS-2-1749 LW-1" (on side two).

Hair: Original Broadway Cast - var. (RCA Victor 1150) On this 1968 released album, the song "Hair" mentions the Grateful Dead: "Like the Grateful Dead, darlin'". Aoxomoxoa - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1790) The original mix is out of print. Released on June 20, 1969, and possibly as early as May, 1969. The Dead recorded the album between late August, 1968 and early 1969, mostly at Pacific Recording Studios, San Mateo. Peter Grant plays pedal steel on "Doin' That Rag". "The Eleven" was recorded for the album, to be linked with "St. Stephen", but was not included. "Barbed Wire Whipping Party", a round by Robert Hunter, is one of the outtakes from the sessions for this album; it took advantage of multiple delays created on the sixteen track recorder. Other outtakes from these sessions include "St. Stephen" with a cello and with bagpipes. One version of "St. Stephen" features a telephone ringing, it is picked up, and the lyrics are made appear as if they are coming out from the telephone. A rolled silver dollar was used to make the strange sound effect during the "...lady finger..." part of "St. Stephen". The lyrics to "St. Stephen" and to "China Cat Sunflower" were written by Robert Hunter when he was in New Mexico in February, 1966, working as a portrait artist. Hunter had been working on "St. Stephen" before going to New Mexico. The word AOXOMOXOA is a palindrome thought up by artist Rick Griffin. One of the working titles for the album was "Earthquake Country". This was one of the first recording ever made using sixteen-track tape, an Ampex MM-1000 deck at Alembic studios. According to Robert Hunter, "Cosmic Charlie" is not based on Charles "Cosmic Charlie" Bosch, one of the characters on the scene in the Haight, who was 'so cosmic'. "Calico" is based on a woman who was one (and may still be) one of the Hog Farmers. The characters and themes in "St. Stephen" do not appear to be based on any real person of the Sixties; they may all come from Hunter's deep appreciation of English poetry and imagery. In the studio on August 13, 1968, the Grateful Dead played extended versions of "Clementine", "Nobody's Fault", and "The Eleven"; these appear on "The Golden Road" box set. At Alembic Studios in December, 1968, they rehearsed "Turn On Your Lovelight", "Dark Star", "St. Stephen", and "The Eleven". The engineers on the album were Bob Matthews and Betty Cantor. The songs on the albums are: "St. Stephen", "Dupree's Diamond Blues", "Rosemary", "Doin' That Rag", "Mountains Of The Moon"; "China Cat Sunflower", "What's Become Of The Baby", and "Cosmic Charlie". The most obvious indication of the original album is the a cappella singing at the end of "Doin' That Rag". Peter Grant plays pedal steel guitar on "Doing That Rag". "Mountains Of The Moon" was written with a minuet feel to it. For "What's Become Of The Baby?", the melody was composed by Jerry Garcia, and was rather complicated to play, starting in the key of C for the first verse, chorus, and bridge part, then going up to the key of G for the second part, and then to the key of D for the last part. The effect is that the song appears to remain in the same key. The RIAA certified the album as "Gold" on May 13, 1997. Aoxomoxoa - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1790) The album was also released with a white promo label. The 1969 Warner/Reprise Record Show (Warner Bros.

The cover was printed by Ferdinand Bahruth. The vinyl is stamped with "Manufactured in Germany" and the matrix numbers "S-039493" (on Side A) and "S-039494" (on Side B). The label has the "stereo" logo and lists "GEMA S 39 493-REI" (on Side A) and "GEMA S 39 494-REI" (on Side B). Aoxomoxoa - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros.

The back cover states "remixed in September, 1971". Most obvious indication of the remixed album is that the a cappella finish to "Doin' That Rag" has been removed. Also dropped are some of the effects on "What's Become Of The Baby?". Stereo dubs, recorded at 7 1/2 ips on reel to reel tape, of the remixes album were made on September 22, 1971; Side One contained "St. Stephen", "Dupree's Diamond Blues", "Rosemary", "Doing That Rag", and "Mountains Of The Moon"; Side Two contained "China Cat Sunflower", "What's Become of The Baby", and "Cosmic Charlie".

This album was not recorded, although the lyrics do exist to "Invocation", "Lay Of The Ring", and other songs. A portion of the song cycle appeared in "Grateful Dead Comix - Issue 6" as "Eagle Mall - Part I", drawn by Timothy Truman. Live/Dead - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. 2WS 1830) Released on November 10, 1969. The original release had a four page song book enclosed with the album. "Dark Star" and "St. Stephen" are from February 27, 1969 at the Fillmore West; "The Eleven" and "Turn On Your Lovelight" are from January 26, 1969 at the Avalon; "Death Don't Have No Mercy", "Feedback", and "We Bid You Goodnight" are from March 2, 1969 at the Fillmore West. According to Bear, the tapes were recorded "on a sixteen track Ampex MM-1000 2-inch professional recorder, with a split of the on stage mics going directly into the preamps of the tape machine, not through any mixing desk. This was my idea to reduce the amount of amplifiers the signal went through before being placed on tape. We had special preamps made for the machine to allow enough gain. This was arranged by Ron Wickersham who had worked for the professional audio recorder division of Ampex before becoming involved with the band in mid '68." The "Eight sided whispering..." vocals are the last eight lines from the original version of Hunter's "China Cat Sunflower". Mickey Hart plays guiro, scrapers, and gongs, among other percussion instruments, on "Dark Star". According to Bob Matthews, the album was recorded and mixed to simulate the sound presence of the Avalon Ballroom. On "Dark Star", some of Bob Weir's playing, during the performance, was left off of the final mix. The inside two-page photo was taken by Rosie McGee. At the shows used to create this album, Jerry Garcia played a cherry bodied Gibson SG, at times using a Vox Crybaby wah-wah pedal. The RIAA certified the album as "Gold" on August 24, 2001.

The front cover photograph was taken near the rendering plants by Barney's Beanery in San Francisco on a very hot, almost 100 degree, day. The smokestacks and smoke shadows were drawn in later - note that they do not match the shadows cast by the band members. The back cover is upside down on the original releases. In the back cover sketch, take a close look at Garcia's right hand. Stanley Mouse took the cover photograph and did all the graphics, including the airbrush sketches for the back cover, which eventually ended up at the Grateful Dead offices in San Rafael. The album was recorded at the Pacific High Recording Studio, which was located in back of the Fillmore West. Pacific High had a 50 by 50 foot recording space, with 14 foot ceilings, two isolation booths, and much of the equipment built by Ron Wickersham. The sessions started in mid-February, 1970, the album was recorded over a nine day period, and mixed in the first week or two of April, 1970. For the recording sessions, the band was arranged in a half-circle around the drums, resulting in some leakage of the instruments. The songs intended for the album were rehearsed in one to two days, then re-arranged to have a beginning of Side 1, end of Side 1, a beginning of Side 2, and a finale. "Mason's Children" was recorded for this album but was not released; it was intended to be the closing song on the album. It is included on "The Golden Road" box set. An alternate version of "New Speedway Boogie", with Weir singing falsetto, was recorded; it is included on "The Golden Road" box set. On "Cumberland Blues", David Nelson plays a Martin D-18 acoustic guitar from 1940; it had been previously owned by Garcia, who traded it for a Weymann banjo from the Lundberg music store in Berkeley. Garcia plays a Martin D-28 on "Black Peter". "Uncle John's Band" contains a fragment of a Bulgarian tune, music to which Garcia was listening at the time. "Dire Wolf" was written while Robert Hunter and Jerry Garcia were sharing a house on 271 Madrone, in Larkspur, California. The "...please, don't murder me..." lines in "Dire Wolf" were inspired by the "Zodiac Killer", who murdered over a score of people in San Francisco between 1968 and 1978. "Dire Wolf" was recorded on February 16, 1970. The "driving that train, high on cocaine, Casey Jones you better watch your speed" lines in "Casey Jones" had been written down by Hunter in his notebook; he later re-discovered the lines and used them as the hook in the song. The album was produced by Bob Matthews and Betty Cantor. The album reached the Billboard "Top 25" in July, 1970. During the recording sessions, Garcia also played a Martin D-18 acoustic guitar and a ZB pedal steel guitar. The RIAA certified the album "Gold" on July 11, 1974, and as "Platinum" on October 13, 1986. Side 2 contains "Cumberland Blues", "Black Peter", Easy Wind" and "Casey Jones". The "sniffing sound" at the start of "Casey Jones" is Jerry Garcia clearing his airways in preparation to start singing.

The poster, used for the cover of this album, came from the Dead's concert at the Avalon on September 16 and 17, 1966. The "skull and roses" image used for the poster was originally a black and white illustration by Edmund Sullivan which appeared in a 19th century edition of "The Rubiyat Of Omar Khayyam", with Quatrain XXVI. Anton Kelly and Stanley Mouse adapted it for the poster, adding colors and lettering. The album made it to number 127 on the charts. Vintage Dead - Grateful Dead (Polydor 2310172) The record album was released in Great Britain. Grateful Dead ... Live - Grateful Dead (Polydor 2302-021) The record album was released in Mexico in 1972. The cover basis is the same as the "Vintage Dead" cover for the U.S. release. Across the top is printed the "Serie Rock Power" "La Nueva Generacion Electrica" band and the album title and info is printed below that. American Beauty - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. WS 1893) Early releases of this record had a "Grateful Dead" sticker on the shrink-wrap. Released in November, 1970, the album reached the Billboard "Top 30" by the end of December, 1970. The album was recorded in August and September, 1970, in San Francisco, at Wally Heider's Studio, 245 Hyde Street, between Turk and Eddy Streets, with the Blackhawk Jazz Club across the street. Stephen Barncard was the engineer for this album, and mixed it. "Till The Morning Comes" and "Candyman" were recorded in Studio A, and the rest of the album was recorded upstairs in Studio C. Parts of "Friend Of The Devil" were written at Rock Scully's house in Kentfield, California: Robert Hunter brought over the beginning words and John "Marmaduke" Dawson provided the "set out running but I take my time, a friend of the Devil is a friend of mine" line. The lyrics to "Truckin'" was started by Robert Hunter in San Francisco, and finished while touring with the Dead in Florida. The death of Garcia's mother was the inspiration for "Brokedown Palace". "Box Of Rain" was written for Phil Lesh's father, who was dying. The "...ripples in still waters..." refrain in "Ripple" is a 17 syllable haiku. Robert Hunter wrote the lyrics to "Ripple", "To Lay Me Down", and "Brokedown Palace" in the span of one day while he was in London, England. Most of the album was recorded "live" with Jerry Garcia on acoustic guitar, Phil Lesh on bass, and Bill Kreutzmann on drums. During the recording sessions of the rhythm tracks, Weir and Garcia were sat close together, and baffles were placed around Kreutzmann's drum kit. Barncard used AKG C60 small capsule condenser microphones for the acoustic guitars, placing them in the guitar's sweet spot. On "Truckin'" and "Candyman", the acoustic guitars were routed through a United Audio Model 1176 limiter. On "Box Of Rain", David Nelson plays the electric guitar solo on a Fender Telecaster guitar with a Parsons/White StringBender, David Torbert plays bass, and Phil Lesh plays acoustic guitar. David Grisman plays mandolin on "Ripple" (where he was double tracked) and "Friend Of The Devil". "Friend Of The Devil" starts off with a descending line in G, an ascending line starts in the third bar, and Lesh adds counterpoint. Bob Weir plays a Leslie-speakered electric guitar on "Sugar Magnolia", which was then double tracked. Weir had originally envisioned "Sugar Magnolia" as having a "Cajun" feel to it. Howard Wales plays organ on "Candyman" and "Truckin'", and plays piano on "Brokedown Palace". This is the first album with Ned Lagin, who plays piano on "Candyman". Jerry Garcia plays pedal steel guitar on "Sugar Magnolia" and "Candyman". The vocals on "Attics Of My Life" are double-tracked. Also recording at Wally Heider's at this time were the Jefferson Airplane and David Crosby, recording his first solo album. The title of the album can be read off the front cover artwork, by some use of imagination, as "American Reality". "To Lay Me Down" was rehearsed and recorded, but was not included on the album; it does appear on the "So Many Roads" box set. Frankie Weir is the subject of "Sugar Magnolia". On most of the vocals, Garcia sings the melody, Lesh sings the upper voice, and Weir sings the middle voice. The vocals were recorded using Shure 67 mics, each mic run through its own limiter, and then doubled. Because they could not "double" themselves consistently, when the vocals were double tracked, sometimes the results were six voices. The sixteen basic tracks for "Truckin'" were: 1. Garcia's electric guitar; 2. piano; 3. kick drum; 4. drums left; 5. drums right; 6. snare; 7. organ; 8. bass amplifiers; 9. bass direct; 10. Weir's lead vocals; 11. Garcia's acoustic guitar; 12. Weir's acoustic guitar; 13. Weir's electric guitar; 14. Lesh back-up vocals; 15. Weir back-up vocals; and 16. Garcia back-up vocals. "Truckin'" was recorded in Studio C. Although "Truckin'" fades out on the album, it was played for a few bars more, and then Weir led the band into a 3/4 time jam and a verse of "The Frozen Logger". The album received a "Gold" record award within a year of being released. At the time, Phil Lesh was using a big amplifier for the low end bass, and a small amplifier for middle bass. During the recording sessions, Garcia also played a Martin D-18 acoustic guitar and a ZB pedal steel guitar. Some listeners find a close melodic similarity between "Ripple" and "Any Dream Will Do" from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". The RIAA certified the album "Gold" on July 11, 1974, as "Platinum" on October 13, 1986, and as double "Platinum" on August 24, 2001. American Beauty - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros.

Heavy Turbulence - Merl Saunders (Fantasy Records, Tenth and Parker, Berkeley, CA 94710, Fantasy 8421) Jerry Garcia, Tom Fogerty, John Kahn, and Bill Vitt appear with Merl Saunders on this album released in 1972. Recorded in the Fall, 1971. Rambling Rose - Grateful Dead ( ) Robert Hunter had written the songs "He's Gone", "Jack Straw", "Brown Eyed Women", "Ramble On Rose", "Mr. Charlie", and "Tennessee Jed", which he intended for a third studio album that was to be a continuation of the sentiments expressed on "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty". This third studio album, tentatively entitled "Rambling Rose", was not recorded. Instead, these songs, recorded live, appeared on the album "Europe '72". "Ramble On Rose" was written in October, 1971, with the band working on the music, during Keith Godchaux's first rehearsals. The words to "Tennessee Jed" were composed when Hunter was in Barcelona, Spain. Hunter was walking down a narrow street, while up ahead, someone was playing a jaw's harp; the words were made up to the sound reverberating off the walls of the houses and the rhythm of the playing. There was a ragtime piano player named "Crazy Otto". In "He's Gone", the "nine mile skid on a five mile ride, hot as a pistol but cool inside" lines allude to Neal Cassady; the "steal your face right off your head" line alludes to ex-manager Lenny Hart and other "shady characters". The characters in "Jack Straw" appear to be derived from several readings, by Bob Weir, of "Of Mice And Men" by John Steinbeck. Europe '72 - Grateful Dead (Warner Bros. 3WX 2668) Released in November, 1972. This three record album includes a color booklet with photos from the tour. The album was heavily overdubbed in the studio, and includes Merl Saunders on organ. The onstage equipment setup was duplicated in the studio, to preserve the ambience, and used for the overdubs. A number of recording defects are present on the album. During the third chorus of "Ramble On Rose", as Garcia sings "...name was Ramble...", a whistling sound is heard. On "Jack Straw", one of the band members yells out. (Note: the "original" Jack Straw, along with Wat Tyler, led a peasant rebellion, which failed, against the English King Richard II (circa 1381). The term "Jack Straw" has, consequently, been used to describe a person who has no property, influence, or worth.) Several of the songs on this album ("He's Gone", "Jack Straw", "Brown Eyed Women", "Ramble On Rose", "Mr. Charlie", and "Tennessee Jed") had been intended for a third studio album which was to be a continuation of the sentiments expressed on "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty"; this third studio album, tentatively entitled "Rambling Rose" was not recorded. "Cumberland Blues" is from April 8, 1972. "Brown Eyed Women is from April 14, 1972. "Jack Straw", "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider", and "Tennessee Jed" are from May 3, 1972.

One song, intended for the solo album, was the Clancy Carlile song "I'm A Loving Man", which was recorded in 1969 at Pacific High Recording, located on Brady Alley, just off Market, in San Francisco. Besides Pigpen, that session included Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, John Tenney on fiddle, Dennis Parker on bass, and Scott Morris on drums. Pigpen and Weir trade vocals on "I'm A Loving Man". An instrumental version of "Just As Long As You Love Me", with Garcia on pedal steel and Tenney on fiddle, also came from these sessions. The album was to be released, tentatively, on Mercury, or its Smash subsidiary, with Bob Serempa as the A&R person. A few songs, tentatively credited as being slated for Pigpen's solo album, circulate in tape trading circles. On these songs, Pigpen plays acoustic or electric guitar, sings, and plays harmonica and piano. It is not certain whether Pigpen plays all of the harmonica solos or whether they were overdubbed or whether they were played by someone else; the stylization does resemble Pigpen. These generally include: "C. C. Rider" (guitar, vocals, and harmonica overdubbed), "Instrumental" (guitar), "Instrumental" (bright sounding), "Instrumental" (slow tempo), "Instrumental" (slower ending tempo), "Bring Me My Shotgun" (guitar, vocals, and harmonica overdubbed), "Katie Mae" (guitar and vocals), "Bring Me My Shotgun" (guitar, vocals, and harmonica overdubbed), "I Got A Woman" (guitar and vocals), "Hitchhiking Woman" (bottleneck slide guitar and vocals), "Boogie Woogie Blues" (piano), "I Got Two Women" (first verse), "I Got Two Women (Freezing In The Heat Of The Sun)" (guitar and vocals), "When I Was A Boy (Santa Fe Queen)" (guitar and vocals), "Michael" (guitar and vocals), "When I Was Twelve Years Old (Hobo Jungle)" (guitar and vocals), "When I Was Fourteen (Train Yard)" (guitar and vocals), "Katie Mae" (guitar, vocals, and harmonica overdubbed), "Baby, Please Don’t Go" > "That Freight Train, Up In The Sky" (harmonica and vocals), "The Devil Is In My Bones (I Believe)" (guitar and vocals), "She’s Mine" (guitar and vocals), and "Look Over Yonder (No Tomorrow)" (piano and vocals). According to lore, "C.C. Rider" and "Bring Me My Shotgun" were recorded in 1970, and, in February, 1973, he recorded a Lightning Hopkins song, "She's Mine", as well as "I Believe", "Like A Long Time", and "Michael", at his apartment in Corte Madera, CA.

In 1974, Hunter recorded an album's worth of songs with Perry.

The musicians for these sessions would have been Robert Hunter (vocals), John Perry (guitar and vocals), Alan Platt (drums), Peter Roe (guitar and vocals), and Roy Sundholm (bass). These session recordings would have been made at Newbury Farm Mells studios. At the time, Perry's girlfriend was Maureen, who later married Robert Hunter.
